Sun Princess & Snow Prince
Episode 77 - Goodbye Without Words

~ Don't say goodbye, just say thank you and sorry! ~

In front of the hospital lobby, Ave sighed and lowered his head while standing waiting. Two tears fell on his shoes. Without a sound, drop by drop began to fall. Until he heard the roar of the motor coming from a distance. Hurrying, Ave wiped her tears while putting as wide a smile as possible on her face.

The big motor just came out of the parking lot. The rider looks handsome. While pressing down on the jaw with his own teeth, Ave held back a cry. Trying to keep smiling.

"Sorry for a long time, just get a parking ticket!" zaid exclaimed as he opened the glass of his helmet.

Zaid's face looked red. His eyes and the tip of his nose were also flushed. It may be overheating, Ave guessed inwardly.

Zaid parked his bike and got off the bike while holding out another helmet on Ave. He also took off his jacket and put it on Ave. It was not in vain that he stopped by to buy a jacket and helmet for Ave while waiting for news all day.

"No papa, Mas. No rush either," Ave replied as he reached out to grab the helmet.

If Ave could stop the current time.

But Zaid didn't give her the helmet. The young man only gave a small smile before slowly attaching the helmet to Ave's head. Very cautious. He gently swept Ave's hair and tidied it up after the helmet was attached.

"If you wear a helmet, do not forget to install the key! Always."

Ave just nodded. His lips shook again with the cry. Then with a forced smile, he said, "Come, we're home!!"

"To home... Papa?" ask Zaid slowly.

Ave didn't answer. Just smiling. But Zaid knew the answer. He also nodded.

As soon as Ave turned around, Zaid's face turned grim. However, he still helps Ave ride to the bike by holding Ave's hand resting on his shoulder.

The motor was traveling at low speed, too low so Ave dared not hold on. He only held the tip of Zaid's shirt, with no strength at all.

"When does this come, Mas?! Little rush!" ave's shout beat the roar of motorbikes and vehicles passing by.

Zaid's head was slightly sideways. "You have a strong hold!" yelling Zaid no less tight.

A slight twitch at the tip of Ave's lips appeared then he tightly hugged Zaid's back. Before slowly turning his grip, Zaid took a deep breath.

Ave deliberately asked Zaid to take off his motorbike, he wanted to hug the man as much as he pleased. Ave hoped that these memories would stay in his heart. After all, if he was currently trying to talk, Ave was worried that he could not even hold back his own emotions.

From the beginning, everything was so sweet. Zaid was cold, but ever since he met this man, Ave had always felt warmth and protection. All he usually gets is from Papa and Ajie. That's why Ave never felt alone in his efforts to realize the Cafe of his dreams.

Now, what do all the dreams come true if there is no Zaid there. To whom will he share his happiness and gratitude?

Slowly, tears flowed out. But the wind swept her away. If the sadness in Ave's heart also floated far away.

Zaid knew, Ave knew this might be their last trip. Zaid doesn't want to say goodbye, he just wants to leave Ave with the best memories.

Ave, the daughter of a heart niche filler she never expected. It came when Zaid thought he could really love no one, breaking through the royal walls of his cold heart.

The jolly girl who always woke him up excitedly. Because of Ave, he learned to smile. Because of Ave, he learned to accept the presence of someone in his life. Ave, the daughter of the sun present illuminates her dark life.

When Zaid made that mistake, he never thought it would have an impact so far. Who would have thought that the act of just following along and fad would end up losing all that was left of it? When will this all end?

After he lost his parents, after he lost the girl he loved. Now what else is left of him?

Shown back Ajie's sharp words.

"I will not demand that your relationship break up. Nor will it interfere with your and Ave's relationship. But even though Ave is my only sister, don't expect any blessing or help from me."

The words of Papa Ave.

"I don't dare risk anything worse, Son Zaid. Lily's presence helped me a lot, but your presence. Ave and Ajie are both stubborn. As their father, my heart is very sad to see my children noisily..."

Zaid could no longer hold back his own emotions. His eyes began to glaze over. For the second time, he regretted his actions.

I love the girl who hugs my back warmly, which frees me from loneliness. But why should he be Ajie's younger brother?

After reducing the speed of the motor by more than half, Zaid's hand removed one of his clutches on the steering wheel, slowly squeezing the hand that was holding his waist. He hooked his five fingers on the five fingers of the girl. Grasping each other, draining each other's strength.

They must remain strong. The man's eyes remained straight ahead, onto a road that felt long and lonely. His chest felt heavy, all sorts of feelings piling on his airway. Zaid wanted to be free from his burden of clenching his chest. But without Ave, what does that mean.

Ave could feel the uneasiness from the warmth of the hand that suddenly grasped tightly his hand. He closed his eyes and once again his tears flowed. The back of Zaid was getting tighter.

God, this is so heavy. Why did Ave have to choose between brother and lover? It's so heavy. It's like stabbing one side of the heart to save the other. Equally painful.

Once again one unstoppable sobbing accompanied the two streams of Ave tears.

Without feeling, the big motor arrived in front of a large house with automatic fencing. Papa Avelia's House. Slowly, Zaid slowed down the motor and stopped right in front of the big fence.

While removing the remains of her tears, Avelia came down from the motor saddle. Like when installing it, Zaid also helped the girl remove the helmet. Gently, Zaid swept over Ave's haircut that covered her face.

"It's definitely not good to ride a motorcycle like this. Your eyes are so red and watery, Ve," said Zaid, smiling faintly. He was still sitting on his motorcycle seat. Trying to stay calm, and pretending not to know that Ave just cried.

Ave shakes. Smiling between her watery eyes. "This was a little dust. No papa really, Ave now likes to ride this bike. Especially if I'm just like that."

"So you can buy Babang tamvan for free?" goda Zaid's.

Ave chuckled, nodding before looking at Zaid.

Zaid looked at Ave lovingly. Then he said, "Ve, I have a riddle."

"What? Gini day gives riddles."

"Mmmm.... ****?" guess Ave.

Zaid laughing. "That's what I thought... Monkey, ha ha ha!" he said while pressing Ave's forehead.

"Oh, who is the baby? It's good to have Ave." Ave's lips pouted. But just for a moment.

The laughter of the two broke, but quickly the joy was swept away by the cold of the night.

"Ve, you don't have to choose. Don't be like that king. We know what obligations we have to do. Parents are always number one. So just follow that. Don't be mad at anyone. You understand, don't you, Ve?" muttered Zaid slowly.

That's when Ave saw a flash of sadness in the eyes that always looked at him warmly. Ave's lips twitched and he lowered his head. Trying hard to hold back his crying that was almost broken.

"Why, Ve? Tumben you can't bale my riddle?" ask Zaid again. Still teasing. There was still a smile hanging on his pale face.

Ave bit her lips, before trying to smile and raised her head again. But his teary eyes made Zaid understand. Ave was as sad as she was.

"The eyes are also red. I think we just passed through the desert. There's a lot of dust," Ave always tried to provoke laughter. Subconsciously his hand was raised and rubbed Zaid's eyes with the tip of his thumb.

One simple action, but makes Zaid can no longer maintain all his emotions. He quickly caught Ave's hand. While looking down, he clasped the girl's hand and stroked her slowly. Zaid wasn't crying. Only he really felt helpless.

Seeing Zaid's head bowing in lethargy, Ave's sobs broke. The silence of the night returned, leaving only the stuffing of a girl who was reluctant to let go of her lover's hand.

While continuing to cry, slowly Ave's feet stepped forward. Without caring that they were out in the open, he hugged Zaid by the neck. And Zaid's hand stroked Ave's back, strengthening him.

This is farewell, without words. But Ave and Zaid both know.

There is love that must end, there is a story that can no longer be continued. No matter how much love they feel, they cannot be selfish.

"Don't cry a lot, Ve. You have to be a funny Ave, yes" whispered Zaid gently sweeping Ave's ears, hand rubbing Ave's back gently.

Ave could only cry bitterly.

"I'm sorry, Ve. I'm sorry, my dear little sun" whispered Zaid again with wet eyes even though his lips were still smiling.

Ave was at a loss for words. His cry turned into a hiccup that was increasingly difficult to control. Repeatedly his hands rubbed, wiping away the tears that never stopped.

A few minutes passed, until the two were able to escape. Ave's tear-filled face, gently removed by Zaid with her handkerchief.

Zaid laughed bitterly. "You're really looking ugly now, Ve. Are you sure you can find a husband better than me?"

Ave put on a smile with sad eyes. "of course! Ave will find a husband who is more handsome, richer and not ignorant like Mas."

Chief Zaid nodded, sincerely praying that it would really happen. "Should... Find something better than me. Don't forget to invite me if you marry me!"

"Ave is too. Don't forget to invite Ave... "

"I wouldn't get married if that woman wasn't you, Ve," Zaid cut off with a bitter smile. This time his eyes began to wilt. It was starting to be hard to hold back.

Ave's smile vanished and again he silently looked at Zaid with tears that continued to break.

In his heart he also said, Ave also would not marry if the man was not Mas Zaid.

Sighing deeply, Zaid looked at the helmet and jacket that Ave had been wearing, then he stretched it out to Ave. "Save!"

"It... "

"There will be no more women than you that I will shake, Ve. Keep it! My gift!"

"You know Ave never wanted second-hand stuff!"

"Helm is new, only used by you, I bought it for you and now I give it only to you, Ve. There's nothing else."

Ave smiled. But tears still washed his face. Slowly he nodded and accepted. While looking at Zaid wearing his own helmet.

"I'll go home first. Thanks for everything. I'm sorry..for everything," muttered Zaid in a deep voice full of weight.

Only a nod could Ave give, before the roar of the motor was heard again. Then in an instant, Zaid's figure turned into an elongated shadow that grew farther and farther before finally disappearing among the crowded vehicles milling about. Ave's gaze also grew increasingly blurred covered by tears that continued to break without stopping.

Goodbye, Mas Zaid!

Thank you and sorry. I'll always love you...
