Short Story For You
the love between us has no place

l

I spent a cup of americano. There were only a few drops left in the white glass. I closed my laptop and put it in my bag. My report is done too, just send it to the lecturer and my weekend will be free !

" Tomorrow right ?" Manya.

My cup is ringing, it must be from jeno. She's my boyfriend, emm... Not really, ah I can't explain it. So jeno and I have a relationship that we agreed to end someday. We are serious in this relationship but not serious about continuing it. Oh, dizzy too.

" Take me to the college show, right ? " That's jeno's asking.

" Yes yes. I'm free !" My answer.

" Where ? "

" Cafe in front of cafe. Why ? You wanna pick it up ?"

" Hmm, where don't go."

Jeno closed the phone, while I moved to the outside of the cafe and sat on one of the benches. I deliberately did not open the phone again, because who will ignore the afternoon in Jogja ? If you're here, then I'll share it with you.

" Jen ! " Call me when Jeno is thinking about the bike. I approached the man and received a helmet before riding his beloved Vario black motorcycle.

" Get."

I put my finger in his jacket pocket, and put my head on his shoulder from behind. He started running the two-wheeler.

" No money in my pocket. " Jeno said

I hit him softly, while jeno laughed. His narrowed eyes were clearly visible from the rearview mirror.

" Do I want a copet ?!" I laughed afterwards, though I didn't move my hand out of that guy's pocket.

" Why is his hand there ?"  Jeno kept asking, she turned at the intersection.

" Our, anget !' my answer.

" If so, just hug. Let the angel not only his hands. " He laughed crisply.

I hit him back, this leg on the rocker-style skull-crust helmet.

" Your pleasure !"

The Saturday we were looking forward to finally came. But not happy, I was upset. Because jeno has not yet picked me up, but from last night she has reminded me to be ready before 7. But the truth ? Until half-nine Jeno hasn't come yet.

" Long life "my word is spontaneous because it sees Jeno with its flagship vario arriving. Jeno immediately got off the bike and approached me. His face was agitated with sadness that I did not know.

" The performance is off "he said.

I sculpted a sad expression to respond to Jeno's current state. " Why can it ?"

He frowned, biting his lower lip "so tomorrow, my group can't perform now. Mark same jaemin has a sudden affair.hufft, his performance must be reshuffled."

I stroked his shoulder, "it was just a snooze. Don't be sad about donk." I said, he took my hand off his shoulder.

" Temenin I'm in college, who knows if you have any ideas. Take a big hit on my brain." Jeno asked, I just nodded. Then take my bag and we go to college.

There are several committees in the campus perfom in question. Some I know, like runjun, haechan and Giselle besides they are all strangers. I sat down right next to Jeno, and before long a black berhodie came gasping for breath. She displayed her sweetest smile and sat down next to Jeno on the left.

" So, the only problem is Jeno's band performance. So you want to change what you look like ?" Ask someone about a mole just below their right lip.

" Singing ? It's simple, it's not long. " Renjun chose the idea.

Everyone nodded in agreement, "ah time solo ? This is like Jeno's debut. There are more ideas. Who was wow ?!" Giselle added.

Everyone stared at Jeno, while the man clasped his hands at me. I stroked the top of the palm yes, trying to give it tranquility.

" No problem with singing. We're just looking for a way to make Jeno's show more special. " The kating said again.

" Duet ! Duet !" Haechan exclaimed loudly.

" May, who is the same ?" Renjun asked.

And the moment they saw me, I could only smile clumsily. Even now replace me who holds Jeno's hand firmly.

" I'm going to do a duet with him." Jeno agreed. I looked at him sharply, I disagree.

" Yes, his voice is good too. Fix this !" Giselle wrote my name and Jeno in perfect order.

" Jen..." I whispered

He glanced at me, "relaxed, no papa. " The reply, and now I'm just resigned.

" Song ?" Ask haechan

" My love fairy, azek tuh. " Giselle looked at us both.

Jeno and I both smiled bitterly. Why that song ? This means insinuating us ?

" Eh, sorry... Yesterday I heard that song, really bad." Giselle immediately gave an excuse.

" You agree ? Or change the song.?" Ask sister level.

I just kept quiet, lowered my head and tried to get my hand out of his. But Jeno even tightened our grasp.

" That's it..." The end of Jeno closed the discussion that day.

I was left with Giselle while Jeno helped the other committee. We sat on the bench and were busy with our devices.

" uh Rin ! Here donk. " Giselle called the girl who was sitting next to Jeno. The woman was close and sitting next to me. I gave some distance, for whatever reason I thought of it as *threat*

Karina shook my hand, "of what prodi ?" Ask.

" Psychology "I answered.

We had a little chat, it turned out that Karina was a humble child, she was graceful and very beautiful. Sizzle her is her prima donna prodi.

" Go home !" Jeno came back with a better face. I stood up, greeted the two and followed Jeno away.

The next day, I was awake even from five in the morning. After the prayer, I went to the room of a friend of mine. He was making voice recordings to share with his protege.

" Mba !" Mba Wendy told me to shut up. I laughed awkwardly and walked over to the woman's bed.

" Don't make a noise !" Wendy's warning from mba made me shut my mouth. And gave him my thumb.

Ma'am Wendy began to speak, "so the content of Surah Al Baqarah verse 221 tells about marriage of different religions. The meaning of Surah is

...Do not marry a polytheist woman until they believe. Indeed, the believing servant of a woman is better than the idolater, even though she draws your heart. And do not marry (men) idolaters (with believing women) before they believe."...

I was silent, not because of Wendy's mba order. But because of his words about the meaning of the letter, God has clearly prohibited religious relations. Why am I trying to break it ? When am I and Jeno together ? Until I love him, so it will be so painful when we agree to stop.

" How did you cry ? Uh why ?" Ma'am wendy hurriedly hugged me and my cry broke out violently.

" No papa mbak, I'm out. There's business "

It's 6 o'clock and exactly because Jeno came. He wears a shirt in a jeans jacket with black pants equalizing the color of his motorbike. She smiled, though I could see a trace of tears from the corner of her eye.

" Yok !"

I got on the bike and we stopped at a porridge cart on the left of the intersection. We ate chicken until we finished. And I just realized, if we haven't talked at all.

" Jen.."

"Hm"

" I want to say "we said at the same time. We looked at each other and smiled. Feeling that Jeno gave me a chance I immediately spoke again.

" We hope yes..." We return to talking at the same time.

We teekkeh each other, but especially for me.... I was crying at that moment.

" Is it time for me ?" I said while sobbing.

" No, wait until it's done make the official break." Answer Jeno.

" Why ?"

" Let's still get fell." Legally.

We kept quiet and looked at the motorbikes on the road. My eyes are getting watery, Jeno no longer holds me. I realized, we have to get used to being strangers.

" Yes... Can I still love you ?" Ask jeno.

I nodded, and chuckled, "it's time to finish performing, let's still have some fell" I repeated jeno's words.

" Jen..." Call me, he's looking.

" I love you."

He shook his head, "no more, it's wrong for us. Is not satisfied with his heartache ?" Ask jeno.

" if that's the end of this, don't make me fallin again huh"

" Calm down, I'm gone. "

That morning I was the most painful incision I felt. It hurts so much, really. I lost this competition, I was wrong to compete with God. For a devout fellow like us, love has no place. Only two options are available, change your partner or change god.

" The next show... My love fairy "

We went up to the stage, with the grip of a hand that was not released, the humming of the song began to play and we sang well until....

" I'm for you. "my singing.

" You're for me..." Jeno Sahut.

We're dealing with each other.

" What is possible, though ? Our faith is different..." We sing together.

" God is one..."

" We are not the same...."

" Should I leave, though love could never go."

We got off that stage, and took off the already unworthy grip. He smiled, the same smile as a happy day offset our steps.

" Thank you, I'm leaving." Jeno.

" Take care of yourself, until Nemu can take care... Because I can't."

I bit my lower lip, "thanks jen... I never knew you. God is good, well, bring us together. I learned a lot, a lot. " My words.

He smiled, turned around to leave me. Jeno's hand reached for Giselle's beautiful fingers. I didn't realize it. The ring that Giselle and Jeno wear is a set of engagement cincibg.

And we broke up, Dad... No more Jeno on my schedule priority. Too bad I deserve punishment. I broke the rules, because right now, I still love Jeno.
