Tangled Yarn Shackles
Explanation for Dara,

Hope to meet Dara is getting thinner when the body gives a sign that things are not okay. The head feels heavy and the body feels shivering. It feels, Anne can no longer stand on this terrace, her struggle since yesterday afternoon seems to have ended without fruit. However, luck still sided with the poor woman as it sounded the key that was playing from within.

"Come in!"

The two corners of the lips were drawn inwardly when he saw the girl he had been waiting for since yesterday finally opening the door for him. The hope that had been dashed was now again present in him. The pain that was all over the body suddenly disappeared somewhere.

Anne tailed behind Dara entering the minimalist dwelling. He immediately sat down on the single sofa that was on the other side of the sofa occupied by Dara. Both of them look awkward for up to a few minutes until the sound of footsteps from the family room. Juna came up with a tray containing two cups of drinks.

"This is a warm chocolate to accompany you" said Juna after putting the two cups on the table.

"Thank you" said Anne, staring at Juna. Shortly after that he lowered his head, his fingers interlocked to fight the nervousness that ambushed the heart.

"You came to this country alone?" ask Dara to break the silence.

"Yes, I purposely came to see you alone." Anne held her head up.

"So, what did you come here for? Just say!" Finally, Dara asked her friend for her needs.

Anne took off her backpack, opened the zipper to pick up something she had prepared before coming to see Dara in Japan. He put a piece of paper on the table, which was nothing but a letter of agreement made by om Rudi and signed directly by the two.

"I came to see you just to explain the problem, Dar. After you hear what's really going on, it's up to you to act like me" Anne said in a soft voice.

Dara changed her sitting position, she drew closer to Anne so as not to hear wrong information from her best friend. Perhaps this time, he should be a good listener to the pitiful woman sitting not far from him. Actually, Dara was sorry to see Anne's current condition. What his girlfriend said was true. Anne looks skinny and fucked.

"You must still remember not the incident when Miss Ningrum accident at that time?" anne asked as she looked at Dara, then she continued after Dara nodded slowly, "at that time I was confused because I had to bear everything myself, especially when the hospital explained the costs needed for Ningrum's surgery." Anne stopped her words as she could no longer hold back her tears.

"It costs not a little, Dar! I'll have to pay DP for the operation. You can imagine for yourself how confused I was at that time, because I had to earn twenty-five percent of the total estimated cost in the two-four-hour period."

"Why didn't you ask for my help?" dara asked as she stared at Anne intensely.

"I don't want to make it difficult for you, Dar! I was quite embarrassed to ask for your help, after all you were in Bandung with Juna," said Anne without removing her eyes from the face without makeup polish.

Hearing Anne's reply, Dara turned her eyes the other way. His gaze looked far away to remember the moment of the incident. It is true, in the time of Anne's distress, he was on vacation to Bandung, knitting love with the lover.

"There are conditions for the costs he has incurred. The conditions that make me have to leave the man I love, the conditions that mess up my dreams and most painful, those conditions that make our relationship chaotic, Dar! Yes, that helper god is your father and right now is my husband .. lord Rudianto Baskoro." Anne sobbed because of the feeling that was bubbling in her chest.

"If you hate me for being your father's wife, okay, no problem, Dar! Please think about my feelings too! Imagine what if you were in my place? What would you do if your loved one needed your sacrifice?" Anne looked at her best friend's face with eyes that stopped letting out a clear grain.

Silence, that's what Dara is doing right now. He tried to hold back all his might so that his tears would not fall. What happened to Anne made her feelings worse. He could not imagine how to be in Anne's position at that time.

"I had a marriage contract a few hours before my mother breathed her last, more precisely before you came suddenly. Just imagine, Dar! After being your father's wife turned out my mother died. My world was completely destroyed! Tell me, what should I do, Dar?" anne said with tears that were relentlessly dripping.

This time, Dara could not hold back her tears. He lowered his head to hide his tear-soaked cheeks. She was crying because she didn't know how to. Wanting to be angry but not knowing who to be angry with.

"I was thinking about leaving your father but I can't, Dar! I'm under contract on seal with your father!" anne said on the sidelines of her sobbing, she reached for the letter and presented it to Dara, "read it!" abugn.

Dara received the piece of paper. He read every sentence there. Really, his heart was getting hurt even more after reading the letter. He was disappointed in his own father who could do all this to Anne.

"Am I the way you think I am, Dar?" anne asked after Dara placed the letter on the table, "Am I the only one guilty of this? I'm just a victim, Dar! The victim!" Anne patted her chest a few times when she mentioned that she was just a victim.

Dara grew sobbing as Anne explained everything that was happening behind her. Anne blurted out everything she had been craving all this time. The pain that had been stored for a long time now overflowed already in front of Dara. Both women were crying in their place.

"Maybe, that's all I can explain! If you want to know more clearly, just ask your father! Perhaps, he could explain the reason that made him marry me."

Anne left the sofa after putting the letter back in the bag. The explanation is over and now it's time to get out of this house. He should immediately return to Indonesia because he does not want to feel tightness in the chest further.

"I'm home, Dar!" anne said before stepping into the open door.

Dara fluttered after hearing Anne say goodbye. He wiped his tears before standing up from his current place. However, Dara had not been able to swing a step, she was surprised by Anne who suddenly fainted in the middle of the door.

"Anne!" dara shouted as she saw Anne unconscious, "Honey! Get over here! Please Anne, Say!" dara shouted after being on Anne's side.
