"It's beautiful whatever the past is.
It is impossible to turn a step around it.
The future will be more promising than a dream. Rather than late with memories."
A loud knock on the door of the inn room, Mark, that morning sounded. Stripping Mark's consciousness from sleep.
"In the morning, who comes this early?" Mark slammed his eyes at the door. Then sitting on the side of the bed gathered his consciousness. Mark's thoughts were on Carry and Bobby.
The knock was heard again, this time more subtle.
Mark dragged his steps toward the door.
"Who's that, Pah?" Laura who woke up from her sleep greeted as Mark's hand held the door handle. However, Mark did not hear Laura's soft and raspy speech.
Mark turned the key and tried to focus on looking at the figure of the body standing behind the door behind him. The light made it hard for Mark to recognize him.
As the figure turned around, Mark, looked at Arumi's tear-filled face.
"Arumy! What are you doing here?" Mark's eyes stared around, looking for another figure who Arumi's friend came this early to their inn. But there's no one else.
"I came here myself. Abi's still asleep, he doesn't know that I came to see you." isak Arumi. Makes Mark panic for a moment.
"What's wrong? Can't you wait until the morning is even brighter?" Mark closed the door to his room. After making sure that Laura did not hear their voices.
"Mark, me, me...." Arumi ran over Mark's arms. Crying hiccups. Burning his face to his chest, Mark, until Mark's pajamas were soaked by tears, Arumi.
Mark gasped, at Arumi's attitude. Trying to break Arumi's embrace. However, Arumi even tightened her embrace.
"I've remembered everything, Mark. My memory is back." Mark's body stiffened. Surprised by Arumi's words as well as Laura who had been standing behind the door.
"really? Your memory is restored? How can? Come on, let's go to the cafe there. It's cold and uncomfortable" Mark said, glancing at the door of his room. Mark is worried that Laura will see him and Arumi outside.
Arumi, according to Mark, took her to a cafe. Mark, order coffee and sweet tea for Arumi. Without them realizing that Laura was sneaking behind them.
"Come, tell Arumi why you suddenly can remember." Mark curious.
"I woke up from my sleep, because I was going to the toilet." Arumi was silent for a moment, sipping a spoonful of sweet tea in front of her. The cold made him shiver, "when I came out of the bathroom, I slipped and fell. My head hit the wall and I fainted for a moment. When I regained consciousness, the first thing that appeared in my memory was the accident.
I remember giving my sweater to the man next to me, because he was sick. We met and talked during the trip. Then, the accident happened. Carry and I were thrown just before the bus crashed into the ravine. I felt the rain shower on my body. I was trying to get upstairs, ask for help, that's when I got hit by a car, Abi." Urai Arumi, narrating the chronology of the accident. His body shook violently. Mark tried to calm Arumi down, clasping her cold hand.
Mark sighed, heavy.
"If you hadn't swapped sweaters, it would have been a search for you. No family has been looking for her until now. That's why I'm sure he's you. That's why I refused the visa, which the police suggested." Mark expressed his regret and negligence.
" I'm so confused after remembering all our pasts, I don't know what to do."
"meaning?" Mark asked confusedly. Laura who was sitting hidden not far from them was also curious about Arumi's intentions.
After my memory returned, I was like being slammed into the bottom of a ravine. I just understood why my heart felt empty. Apparently, my subconscious has always presented our togetherness. Even if I don't remember it."
However, I realized it was impossible to go back to that past. Moreover, we already have a partner each. Honestly my heart is so fucked." sighed Arumi.
"Arumi." Mark, get Arumi's hand back. "We were destined to be like this. Ten years I mourn for you. Raise up, Carry, our daughter. Until I ignored her need for a mother's affection. Do you know why? Because I love you and Carry so much. Until finally I had to be willing to give up my youth for Carry. Who would have thought we would meet in such a situation." Mark breathed deeply.
Let's keep it like this, yeah. I'm not going to forbid you from seeing or talking to Carry. Because he's our bond of love." Mark continued, choked.
Mark is also sad. If the situation were to turn around, this meeting would bring happiness. They can certainly be together again.
However, in reality they have their own partners.
Mark wiped the tears on Arumi's cheek. For these ten years he kept his heart for Arumi. He still loves and loves. But there is another heart that also loves and sincerely loves him. Mark, don't want to hurt that heart.
Likewise, Arumi, there is a heart that loves him sincerely. The only thing about their hearts is the past.
"Go back to Abi. Don't make him panic. At least you know I know you still love each other because of Carry." Mark hugged Arumi, releasing the longing that had been held back. Warm embrace for friendship. Because it's impossible to break it, because there's a Carry between them.
"Yes, thank you, Mark. Greetings with Laura. We'll be leaving in the afternoon."
"We will take you away. So you can meet Carry."
"Wouldn't, I wouldn't be strong enough to leave her later. Let time, make him come to me, as he grows older."
"Well, if you think it's the best. I can't force." Mark looked at Arumi, Mark felt a deep sadness in Arumi. The woman who filled her life.
Laura wiped her tears, silently she left the meeting place of Mark and Arumi. Laura does not want her husband and Arumi to know her whereabouts and to listen to their conversation.
Mark, don't go straight home. He decided to walk in the morning, even though it was already a bit late. Mark just doesn't want Laura, suspicious of her disappearance. By sweating, he'll have a reason.
Mark didn't mean to lie to his wife. He just wanted to keep the heart of the woman. Laura's heart is still, fragile. Mark doesn't want any misunderstandings between them.
"Where are you from?" welcome Carry when he sees his new papa coming.
"Run in the morning." said Mark. "Wake up?"
"Oh, Papa lied! Why would Papa go with flip-flops. How can you not say good to Mama?" Carry sniffed his papa.
"Carry, what the hell, baby?" kekeh Mark, feel funny with Carry's behavior.
"Hem, Papa must have just seen a girl. Watch, Pa! Papa can't be naughty with Mama?"
"Currently, Papa's daughter, this is. Who's hayo, the girl that Papa saw. Don't be so fucking indictment, huh?" Mark's out-earning, Carry.
When Laura appears suddenly at the door, Mark is unable to even splash with an eye bead, Laura. *****
