Reyhan, My husband
The Crossroads

"Nay...."

The familiar male voice instantly made Nayla turn her head. Staring at the nanar of the man who stepped towards him with a smile that perfectly expanded on his face.

He looked very messed up even though his lips were smiling.

Instantly the atmosphere became awkward for Sari and Nina. But not for Nayla.

Nayla had already prepared for a situation like this.

After all, when Nayla returns to campus, she will definitely meet Satya.

A man who has been constantly harassing her on his cell phone.

The stale base asked for news, even blatantly expressing longing. Just make Nayla claustrophobic..!

But Nayla already knew what she was going to do to Satya.

That is, how Nayla must behave to deal with the spontaneous actions of the man who was once the owner of her heart.

"Hay, Satyaa....?"

Nayla's greeting back with a slightly forced smile looks sincere from her rancid lips.

Just like that, Nayla is still pretty.

"Where then? I. kangen Nay..."

Satya's confession was slightly stamped. Actually, deep down, Satya felt guilty towards Nina. Satya's conscience knows that Nina is a good girl. Unfortunately, Satya's ego is too high to be ambitious to have Nayla and forget the restlessness of Nayla's best friend.

"Emmm.. Nay, I'm going to class first yaa..."

Pamit Nina's. He could no longer endure the pain. Seeing the biological father of the fetus that it contains is still chasing another woman. But what can Nina do? From the beginning of this complicated relationship also because of his own mistakes, right?

Want to be mad at Nayla? Ah that's too evil his name.

"I'm temenin Nin...." Sari said as she stood up to accompany Nina.

"Ehmm yaudah, you go to class first. I'll be followed..."

Nayla replied with a perfectly fluffy smile. His hand caressed the back of Nina's hand that was still within his reach. As if to say, everything would be fine, and Nayla must have kept her promise.

The atmosphere between Nayla and Satya became a camggung until the silhouette of the two women walking away completely disappeared. Especially Satya.

"Nay, where are you going anyway.. ? why didn't you ever tell me?" Ask Satya...

"I just calm myself down Satya, I don't want to be bothered by anyone"

Nayla answered with confidence.

"Include me? Am I really your bully now, Nay? You're really still mad at me?"

Nayla smiled wryly. What kind of question is that? It's true, Nayla's feelings for Satya right now are, hate.

No, not hate as it is in the minds of readers...

More so, the feeling that is in the middle between disappointment and love. Wanted to have, but that couldn't have happened.

The point is, it's all done. The story between Nayla and Satya is over.

Nayla has chosen her own path. And now, Nayla is trying to steer Satya on her own path anyway. Not following Nayla's path continues like this.

Nayla is trying to make Satya aware, their path is different. There was a crossroads that forced them to separate. Must.

If not, then they should be prepared to lose the people they need most at the end of the road.

"I love you Nay,.."

Said Satya again after seeing Nayla just smiling reluctantly to answer her question earlier.

While Nayla, ah Satya's statement was still able to make the transparent knife slightly scratched her heart. Nayla could not bear to hurt the man who once had her heart.

Nayla knows, Satya really loves her. But, again, again,

it's all done.

Unknowingly, the feeling of tightness entered his heart. Makes Nayla's eyes glaze over, right?

Satya, I'm sorry

Maybe this is the right time..

Satya, I'm sorry

I did love you once, but as it turns out, you are a destiny for others.

Ah, maybe, this is a good time....

"Nay, that,..."

Satya's voice resuscitates Nayla from her daydream. He blinked his eyes quickly.

"Nay, I love you.. Loves you so much.."

"Satya, I'm sorry....

But we can't always be together like this. Please, don't make it hard."

Nayla said with a full plea.

"I'm sorry Nay, but I don't want to lose you. I really love you..."

Nayla took her breath in. Every Satya expresses her love, it makes Nayla even more unbearable.

Had it been, things weren't this complicated, Nayla would have hugged the helpless man in front of her. Give support with great affection. But everything was different.

Nayla rubbed her forehead for a moment. Sari said right.

Convincing Satya was not as easy as her shadow. Satya is still clinging to her selfishness even though Nayla has forced her several times.

Eh Wait? Forced it?

Ah Nayla knows the reason now. Why did Nayla forget that Satya could not be forced?

Yes yes, now Nayla just remembered that the man in front of her, the more forced the more she became.

Maybe Nayla should change her ways from now on. It can start by asking him to negotiate. Make interesting offers.

Satya would be easily changed if she was embraced.

Encourage him to walk on his own in his path. Accompany him, even from afar but that's okay.

Satya cannot be left alone.

"Satya, what should I do for you to marry Nina?"

First step. Trying to get Satya to negotiate. Nayla did it carefully.

"Should it be Nay? Should ya say that to me ?" Satya answered with anger.

"Tell me, you still love me, right?"

"Sat, come on...

You love me, don't you? I want you to marry Nina... Why is it so hard to obey the wishes of the people you love?"

Nayla sure. Satya will give up this time. It was clearly visible on his face. Satya started to frown. That means, his stance is a little shaky.

"Nayla, are you sure you want my marriage to another woman?"

Satya asked with a wry smile. The world is so happy for him.

"I'm sure..." Nayla replied as she grabbed Satya's hand. Holding him gives support.

"Nina is no one else for me Sat, she is my best friend. He is like my own brother.

I'm really mad at you. You, how could you impregnate my best friend."

In a hurry Nayla wiped her tears that fell unstoppably with her index finger.

Then, Nayla looked into Satya's eyes. Trying to speak from heart to heart.

"I don't want to make you a coward who runs away from responsibility to keep you by my side. I beg Sat, please marry Nina.. If you don't love her, do it for me and for your future son...."

The clock already shows the time Nayla class started. In a hurry Nayla immediately stood up.

"I have to get back. My class is about time to start. Satya, please consider.

I'm ahead of you...."

Nayla runs small towards her class. Leaving Satya who was silent. The recording of Nayla's voice has just been recorded clearly in her memory. Like an automatic spin in his brain.

Satya wakes up when Nayla's body is completely lost behind a wall.

Shit..!

Love is Never Wrong

My heart then learned to not beat anymore, My eyes learned to never look at you again,

My shindles are now only occasional, now,

But my heart is still settled in one heart, it's you.

Love is never wrong, though,

What's wrong is that I let this taste stay,

Until only wishful thinking brings us together, - Dian Rahmanaputri-Dian
