“Master!”
Riswan immediately ran when he saw Byan staggered almost to fall. His body suddenly went limp and his head was dizzy, as if his blood had already gathered on both of his legs. Either the man had been standing there for a long time, after Maureen had gone out before him.
“We sit down first, mr.” Riswan immediately brought his young master to sit on one of the benches. Fanning the cold sweaty Byan and looking pale.
Byan bowed lethargicly, holding his aching and dizzy head spinning. He squeezed his own hair until it felt sore when his hair seemed to be pulled out.
“I lost him, Riswan. I lost her. He left me,” Byan said tremblingly. His face was pale and his eyes were red. A thread of tears gathered in the corner of his eye. It seems that Byan is very sad.
“Master, young mistress uh I mean Miss Maureen just went away for a while. Sir don't worry, he'll be right back.” Riswan tried to cheer up, but Byan just shook his head while looking down. His mind was still very upset. The eight months were not short and during that time he had to harbor longing.
Riswan became completely wrong to see the condition of Byan like this. The young man did not chimed in, he still remained bowed sadly, pondering over what had happened to him. Whereas earlier, when there was still a Maureen, Byan was still fine but now it looks very weak.
“Master, please wait a minute, I buy a drink first.” That was what Riswan was thinking at the moment. It was possible that by giving Byan a drink, Byan's mind became calmer.
Without waiting for Byan's reply, the middle-aged man rushed off. He was looking for a shop that sold cold drinks. Meanwhile, Byan still remained in his place. Reflecting on the departure of Maureen who he thought was very sad. He still lowered his head and closed his eyes, trying to remove Maureen's shadow from his mind. However, the more he tried to forget, the more real Maureen's shadow became.
It was like sitting next to Byan. The fragrance of his perfume, which was very well known to this big-nosed man, made him open his eyes that were originally closed.
“You're not home?” look, his voice is not foreign either.
“Akh shit! I'm going crazy. I'm starting to hallucinate.” Byan spoke to himself. He lifted his body and looked to the side. The figure of the woman who was similar to Maureen, as if sitting beside her.
“I'm really crazy.” Byan pressed the corner of his eyes as the shadow of the woman sitting beside him completely resembled Maureen. Maybe it was because his eyes were watering so his vision was unclear. Byan blinked his eyes several times, wanting to believe what he was seeing. The red eyes he also rubbed repeatedly and the results remained the same. The woman is there and now smiles at her.
“Why you? How do you feel that dazed? Though this has not even an hour, especially if it has been twenty-four hours.” The figure now spoke clearly to Byan, then smiled worriedly.
“Jeez, I'm really crazy!” Byan pulled her body away from the girl's side and looked on in disbelief. His eyes were red, now perfectly rounded. He felt that his mind was too stretched until the figure in front of him was seen and heard also had the same perfume smell as Maureen, even though the woman had just left some time ago.
“You why the hell? Look at me so much, By?” That figure could even touch Byan's face. Her hands were warm like Maureen's.
“Do not disturb me. Don't come any closer. I already have a boyfriend. We just split up for a second. Please don't look too much like him because I can go crazy.” Byan chattered incoherently.
“What are you talking about? It's me Byan, Maureen!”
“APA?!” Byan rubbed his face rough. Not believing what he heard.
“You really are Maureen?” changed Byan who touched Maureen's face. Pressing down on her chewy, smooth and blushing cheeks. Her heart was pounding as she touched this beautiful face. In fact, this only happened when he was with Maureen.
“Iya, it's me.” The woman smiled slightly as she clasped the hand of Byan on her face.
“Kok can? Why don't you go? Uh I mean, why are you still here? Ish not that, what time is it, did you not miss the plane?” Byan to grumble with his own words. Between happy and surprised because Maureen was in front of him.
“I'm not leaving. I want to be with you,” said the beautiful woman while blushing embarrassed.
“Gosh!” Byan soon realized that this was not his hallucination. He immediately pulled the woman's body closer and hugged her tightly.
“Yes, I decided not to go. I want to be here, nemenin you face everything together.” The woman answered really.
“Why?” Byan let go of his embrace for a moment. He knew Maureen's reason for not leaving.
“I mean why did you change your mind? Though I'm glad you are very confident in your decision.” Byan looked at the woman full of wonder.
“Yes because I thought, our relationship will be stronger when I also face our problems. Not run away like a coward while you fight alone. This relationship is our relationship, our choice to be together. Your times are struggling to deal with it, while I'm busy with my own thoughts and not thinking about problems about us. I feel that's too selfish, By. After all, the problem is there to be solved, not to be abandoned.” There was a small smile that Maureen showed to Byan.
Byan smiled haru. He clasped Maureen's hand tightly.
“Thank you because you still want to accompany me to face everything. Thank you, Mo.” He kissed Maureen's hand lovingly.
“I should thank you. Because even though it's hard, you're still heartened to follow my wishes. I have a lot of respect for that. Let's stay together and hold hands like this, to strengthen each other. I will survive and fight with you.” Maureen said seriously.
Byan doesn't chim in. He chose to hug Maureen tightly. He was so grateful that Maureen had not left him.
“I love you Mo, very-love you.” In between the warm embrace was an expression of deep taste that Byan said to the lover.
“I love you too. Same love crazy men, like you.” Maureen joined her embrace.
"Hahahaha, I was like a madman" I was Byan.
For a few moments they embrace each other, feeling the happiness of being able to be present for each other.
“By, let's explain to them what's really going on between us. After that, please permit me to temporarily stay in the parlor. There are many things I want to do there.” Maureen said with hope.
Byan let go of his embrace and stared fixedly at the woman he held tightly in his hand.
“Yes, let's face them. After that, you still have the right time to yourself,” said Byan while rubbing Maureen's cheek lovingly. Maureen nodded and smiled. One kiss was given byan on Maureen's forehead feelingly. She was very grateful for Maureen's decision not to leave her.
Satisfied looking at each other, they finally chose to move. Their commitment is firm that they will face it all together and solve their problems one by one.
“Nona? You?” just about to step up, they had to stop again because there was Riswan who looked at Maureen in shock.
“Don't be surprised Riswan, he's my lover. His name is Maureen.” Byan proudly said that to Riswan. He begins to acknowledge this special relationship with the woman he loves.
“Yes, thank you Miss, because you decided not to go.” Riswan's eyes to the tears held haru. Thankfully, his young master did not become depressed and heartbroken. If that happened, he would no longer know what to do to comfort his young master.
“Sama-sama Riswan's. Thank you also because you are so patient in dealing with his sometimes childish behavior.” Maureen smiled mischievously as she glanced at the spoiled man leaning on the spoiled beside her.
Riswan just nodded his head, really he was very happy to see Maureen and Byan standing side by side without any hesitation from each other. Isn't the real foundation of relationships a belief? Look at their happy faces too. Riswan's heart could feel that happiness.
“Master, in the end they made the right decision,” Inner Riswan while looking at Byan and Maureen with great feeling. He hoped Anggoro would see what he was witnessing right now.
