Renjana Song
One Chance

Love is a wild force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison him, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it makes us feel lost and confused.

''You know, it turns out that I am the most stupid man in the world.'' Yuda said with a rough breathing.

Ranum also knitted his eyebrows together a sign of not understanding.

''I was busy chasing after someone who obviously didn't love me. Meanwhile, I ignored the person who was completely sincere to me.'' Yuda said heavily.

''Jud?'' Ranum.

''Ranum, I want to be honest with you. Please listen to me carefully and don't cut off my conversation or talk before I'm done saying everything.'' Judah breathed a lot of air into his lungs.

Ranum nodded his head.

''Ranum, it's been four years I think that I love you.''

''Sometimes I don't know myself, my concern is the same because you like you or because you're used to it. Get used to paying more attention to you. But I just realized one thing now. Turns out I was wrong, I'm not really that deep having feelings for you.''

''But with Maya everything is different. I don't know from when, the person I most want to meet when I feel a lot of burden pressing on me or when I'm feeling very sad, the person I want to care about the most, the person I care about, the person I often dream of, and the first person I want to hug when all my efforts succeed is Maya.''

''I am indeed a fool, unable to realize my feelings any sooner.''

''When I found out that Maya was trying to bring me closer to you, I felt really sad.''

''Why did I let him get hurt alone. Why did I let her do that and as if I was also following all of her words.''

''I'm really stupid!'' Yuda cursed himself.

Ranum was stunned to hear all the words coming out of Yuda's mouth.

''You are a fool, Jud!'' Ranum.

''Why are you saying this to me. It should be Maya you told me about. You have to tell the truth, you have to explain everything to him Ranum said with his tears fragrant.

He remembered how many sacrifices Maya had made so far to him, Maya who was always willing to sacrifice for her happiness.

''Yes, you are right. I must immediately tell Maya.'' replied Yuda.

''Wait what else, quickly find Maya!'' exclamation Ranum.

Yuda takes the smart phone out of his pants pocket, then he looks for a name stored there. After that he immediately made a call on that number.

''No lifting, Num.'' said Yuda in confusion.

''Call me again dong!'' answer Ranum.

''Tetep can not.'' said Yuda resigned.

''Let me try to contact Maya.'' Ranum replied in the end.

After a while,

''No lift as well.'' said Ranum weakly.

''Oh, wait a minute, Maya made up this story. Like he was again in Terazzo, yes I really know this place.'' Ranum said when he saw Maya's story on his phone.

''I don't have any story on my phone?'' ask Yuda after fiddling with his phone.

''Means your number in the same hide Maya.'' replied Ranum.

''Yud, it doesn't matter now. Follow up Maya right now and clear everything!''

''Hm, I go first!'' Yuda immediately grabbed the keys to the car on his desk and ran as fast as he could.

''Geez, they are both completely compatible, equally stupid about love affairs.'' Ranum said as soon as Yuda left.

''But I'm not much different from them either.'' said Ranum laughing at himself.

...----------------...

Yuda immediately walked towards Maya.

''Hi.'' greet Yuda gently.

Maya raised her head to confirm the sound.

''Yud, why are you here?'' said Maya who seemed surprised when she saw Yuda who suddenly just now was standing by looking at her.

''From you dong.'' replied Yuda.

''Why are you here alone? Not afraid to catch a cold these nights sitting here alone?'' said Yuda who immediately gave his jacket to Maya.

''Still.'' said Maya while confirming the jacket that Yuda gave her.

''So you dong will catch a cold if my jacket is wearing?'' maya said with a chuckle.

''I am already immune.'' Yuda replied casually.

Maya breathed her breath slowly.

''Isn't this soothing?'' said Maya with her eyes still straight facing forward.

''Hm, you are right.'' Yuda replied without taking his eyes off.

For a moment the two lovebirds were just silent with each other's thoughts. Silent. Only the sound of the night breeze blowing through their skin slightly enlivened the atmosphere.

''Maya?'' yuda said after the silence that was created for a while.

''Hm?''

''There is something I want to say to you.'' said Yuda.

''Why the hell? Seems serious. So deg-degan nih.'' joked Maya who tried to divert the conversation. In her heart, Maya felt completely unprepared to hear what Yuda was going to tell her. His heart suddenly beat faster than usual, his hands suddenly cold as frozen water.

''I'm sorry.'' said Yuda.

Maya also immediately raised her head that had been bowed because she thought of something that would hurt her, she thought.

''Sorry for ignoring you all along.'' said Yuda.

Yuda grabs Maya's hand and takes her into his grasp.

''May, give me one more chance to show you that I can be something precious to you, please allow me to show it to you."

The deg! Maya's heart stopped for a few seconds.

''But, Yud?'' sahut Maya's.

''Listen to me first.'' Please Yuda.

''Yes, I love you. Really love you.'' Yuda said solemnly.

''I'm really sorry. All this time always heeded you. I realized too late, I was too ignorant all this time.''

''There is a place in me where you are always occupying. It is a place where that part of you will always be a part of my life, Yuda said.

Maya tearfully heard all of Judah's words.

''Hey, give me one more chance. And I'll prove everything. Because you are the only person I love.''please still Yuda tightly grasping Maya's hand.

Maya can only nod her head. He seemed to have lost all his words.

''Thanks you. Thank you, May!''

''I promise, I will not waste this opportunity you have given me.''

''Thank you!'' Yuda immediately brings Maya into his arms. He hugged the woman of his tribe.
