The Injured

The Injured
Not Knowing Age


Everyone came home with a sad heart. One of his family had to get away from them.


"Why move the responsibility, Pih?"


Questions that came from Riana. Just a smile Keysha gave me.


"This is already the same Papih Key deal."


Disappointed, Riana must have felt. Not only Riana, Keysha felt the same way. She is now in her third month in the twelfth grade. However, Keysha chose to continue his schooling in the land of people.


Rifal was disappointed. When his heart is steady, but love is not on his side. Is this what you call a farewell meeting?


With a careless move, Rifal said goodbye to Azkano and his wife. Kano and Sheza thanked me. Now, Rifal turned to look at Keysha who was still with a sad face.


"May you be there." Keysha straightened his head and looked at Rifal with eyes that shone with deep pain.


There was no response from Keysha. He just stared and received Rifal's helping hand.


"I'm sorry."


Surrender, that's what Rifal did. Destiny is painful. Why do we have to be together if we end up separated? They don't know each other yet. However, there is a belief that keeps him going. Now, the harsh reality must be swallowed and accepted.


"Must be a loser again," muttered Rifal with a wry smile.


Rifal was lamenting his fate by smoking a cigarette in the yard next to his house. A white puff of smoke he deliberately exhaled high. Like she was feeling sad and disappointed.


"Fragal." Someone's really annoying voice lately is heard.


"Jagain soul mate people ever, and now even left just want to fight." Speech that sounds very sad.


"Rush?"


"Maybe that's the best way. Before I dissolve in the story that ends the same wound" said Rifal.


"Why not fight?"


"Too high the fortress that separates us. Too much of a difference" replied Rifal, whipping up cigarette smoke again.


"Difference will be lost to unification."


"Pronunciation isn't as easy as reality, Bang. Talk easy, running it is difficult," added Rifal while turning off cigarette butts.


"Life must go on." Rifal got up from his seat leaving Rindra alone.


Rifal put his body on his top of the bed. The shadows of Keysha's sad face entered across his mind.


"Good bye."


Let the shadow of the face disappear as time goes on. It is carried by the wind and eroded by distance.


"Gua said what, you're gonna have to find a woman your same age. Not a boy," Sandi said when she heard all Rifal's heartache.


"Lu is just admiring. Not love" he explained again.


"Gua is a fool" he said.


Rifal was not focused on his work. There was only a shadow of Keysha's face on his head.


Why is your shadow still in my head?


With full struggle Rifal completed all the work. Although, Sandi keeps nagging because of Rifal's slow work. Not as usual. Rifal was silent, not wanting to chimed in. He suddenly became a calm man.


"Broken hearts can indeed make people change" muttered Sandi, who saw Rifal more silent today.


Time has shown at five o'clock in the afternoon. The sun has also been tilted


westerly. Rifal stretched his muscles. Turn off his laptop and turn on his personal phone.


There was a lot of message noise. However, Rifal did not ignore it.


Must be a bawel group.


Rifal came out of the room greeted politely by his secretary. He pushed the elevator button to the first floor. In the elevator, he was just pensive. When the elevator door opened she was shocked by the presence of the girl in white grey who was waiting for her in the office lobby.


"Keys."


Rifal accelerated his pace. However, Keysha had already moved from his seat and headed for the exit.


"Keysha!" call Rifal in a loud voice. He doesn't care that many people see him.


Keysha's steps stopped. He turned around and saw a little Rifal running towards him.


"What's up here?" Keysha looked at Rifal meaningfully. Then, he smiled faintly.


"Don't you read Key's message?"


"Message?" Rifal Reset.


"I'm sorry, if Key's disturbing. Key excuse me." Keysha's face looked very disappointed.


He also chose to leave Rifal. Get in the car waiting for him.


Rifal immediately opened his phone and opened the messaging app. Her eyes are patterning when she gets a message from 08124567xxxx


14.50


Rifal, can we see you?


It's Keysha.


15.30.


Can Key go to Brother's office?


16.02


Key's in the office.


Can't get in.


The same security is forbidden.


Key wait in the lobby.


17.03


Looks like my brother is very busy.


Sorry Key interrupted.


Key just wanted to say,


Key's leaving tonight.


Thanks for the kindness.


Key wait for the struggle Brother.


The final message made Rifal's eyes widen. What was the last message Keysha sent?


"Struggle," he murmured.


Suddenly stupid rifles. His brain is not working perfectly. A minute later he woke up.


"Shit!" objurgation.


Rifal immediately chased Keysha's car. But he was too late. Trying to call Keysha's phone number can't. Only the operator answered.


Rifal's brother likes you. Do you like it too?


Don't lie to your heart. If, yes, yes. If you don't talk no.


Age knows no love. Even God's secrets. Age differences are not an obstacle to unity.


If he is serious. He will definitely fight for you. If he just keeps quiet, you better back off. Fighting alone is tired. There are still a lot of people who want to fight together.


Only a rough sigh escaped Keysha's mouth. I hope the decision he made is right.


"Does my brother want to fight? Waiting for Key like Radit's sister who's been waiting for Echa for years?"


That's how Keysha's mind is. The decision he made was not without consideration. He heard for himself that his papih admired the figure of Rifal Addhitama.


I know him, Mih. His family is also part of Kak Gi's family. He was hardworking and became the first person to always help Mr. Addhitama before his two children got into the company. His personal life is very closed. When asked why he was not married, he just smiled. He said his soul mate was still otw.


Very lucky woman who became his life companion later. He was very good, would definitely be a good priest as well. The proud Papih, he's the only business friend of Papih who doesn't ask our son blatantly.


Explanation that Keysha considers a code. Moreover, the Papih told about Rifal with great enthusiasm. Surely his papih knows Rifal well. Rifal's attitude was very polite to papih and his mother.


One thing that makes Keysha sure, Rifal is able to provide comfort to him. It was evident from Rifal's patience to bribe him. As well as Rifal's protection when he was willing to take off his jacket for Keysha. His papih attitude is in Rifal.


A stupid human being was still in the car. His gaze was still focused on the final chat that Keysha sent out.


Pursue Brother. It's a code of nature. What would he want someone else to take.


Radit's words made Rifal sigh violently. Doubt, that's what Rifal feels right now. What possible? Those two words always circled his brain.


He called someone, after which he drove his car. The direction of the car drove to Echa's house. He stopped his car at the coffee shop. There's an Echa there.


"Sorry, long, huh?" Echa shook her head and told Rifal to sit down.


Rifal hands Echa his phone. Echa's forehead shrinks when reading a message from Keysha. However, the corner of his lips lifted slightly.


"So, what's Keysha's message?" Rifal shrugged his shoulders.


"Why?"


"Fear wrong for being overconfident." Echa laughed at Rifal's reply. It is like ABG who is new to love.


"Older people are also not cool-pinter," said Echa who was still laughing.


"What is code?" Echa nodded slowly while drinking her favorite iced coffee.


"But .. earlier he looked disappointed" Rifal said.


"Yes, obviously disappointed. Look at the clock where Keysha sent the message. That's an hour away. Waiting an hour is like waiting for a year, Rifal Addhitama." Just this time Echa felt her sister-in-law looked like a real fool.


"Hape the dead cave just now. So, the cave doesn't know. Meet him in the lobby just for a moment, and he just goes."


"Woman if you are disappointed definitely diem Kak. Why to explain. They just want sensitivity from a man. The code seems to understand a little, immediately" explained Echa.


"Lu guess the shady cave is like your man," rifal murmured.


"Dikasih knows too," snorted Echa.


"How is this going? The cave tried to contact him couldn't." Rifal's frustrated face was clear.


"Ask the heart of Brother. What should Brother do? Fulfill her request or back off without hurting her," replied Echa.


Fighting, can it? What long distance relationship will not cause injury a second time?


There is a trauma that Rifal feels when undergoing an LDR relationship. After graduating High School, Rifal decided to attend college in London and only took S1 for four years. While Jelita chose to study in Bandung. The first six months of their relationship were fine. Sometimes, Rifal finances Jelita to go to London to meet her. While he could not go back and forth London-Indonesia. In addition to college, he also had to check the company of the papih.


"After I graduate, I'll ask you." That's what Rifal said and promised Jelita. Sweet girl dimpled and beautifully patterned eyes.


The more they come here, the less they communicate, and Jelita rarely meets Rifal in London. However, Rifal still believed in Jelita.


When graduation arrived, two joys enveloped Rifal's heart. Can graduate with the best grades and can immediately propose the idol. However, a video that Sandi sent makes Rifal helpless.


I accept the marriage and marriage of Jelita Apriani bint Jaka Prasetya with the dowry, cash.


Rifal's eyes were wide open when the bride was indeed Jelita, his lover.


Why could?


That's all Rifal can ask.


Women need certainty and struggle. It is not just a sweet promise that has not been made.


What a pity Rifal's fate. His heart was broken into pieces. Frustration is certain. He didn't show it to the family. Keep everything in a tight. He did not want to add to the burden of his father.


Women need certainty and struggle.


That sentence was now wandering in Rifal's mind. His heart was still doubtful, but the urge to advance was very strong. Without a word spoken, Rifal leaves Echa. He rushed to the car.


Arriving at Keysha's house, everything looks deserted. He got out of the car and asked security.


"Master and Neng Keysha have already gone to the airport. Their plane leaves at seven."


Rifal's panicked face was clearly visible. He immediately drove his car at high speed to the airport. It's half seven now.


"There's still time. Don't let it disappoint" murmured Rifal.


Rifal goes into the airport and searches for Keysha and Azkano. Contacting Keysha could not. As he was about to contact Azkano, he saw the woman he was looking for sitting alone with her head bowed.


"Keysha!" call Rifal.


Everyone stared in surprise at Rifal. The woman who was called by her name also looked. There was a glimmer of disbelief he was emitting. Moreover, the man ran towards her. Hit Keysha's body and embrace her.


"I will keep fighting waiting for you. Even though I know it's not easy. I'll keep trying."


"I love you, Keysha."


A statement of love that made Keysha shed tears. In fact, Keysha no longer wanted to hope because he felt that there was no struggle done by Rifal. He concluded that Rifal was just playing around.


When the asa began to fade. A person who is expected to come with love. Expressing his feelings with confidence.


Keysha's lips were muddled, only tears of happiness he felt. His hand returned the warm, comfortable embrace that Rifal gave. As a sign that he also loves Rifal. Can love come so soon? Is love at first sight real?


Rifal parsed his embrace, smiling at the crying Keysha. His hand wiped the tears that had already flooded the face of the beautiful woman before him.


"The right learning. I'll wait for you and fight to keep getting your love."


"Sorry, this old man loves a young woman like you. The woman who has melted my frozen heart. The woman who always makes me smile when I think of your face. The woman who made me realize that true love requires struggle and sacrifice."


"Do you want to be my future wife? The mother of my children." Keysha was silent again.


"I don't want to date. I want a seriousness in the relationship. My age is no longer young. I want to be happy with the woman I love, you."


"Again, do you want to be my future wife, Keysha?"


"Will you wait for Key? Waiting until Key's education is over?"


"Sure, I'm ready to wait for you. As long as you are educated I will struggle to establish myself with women like you. The precious gem of Mr. Azkano which has been offered by many rich businessmen." Keysha only smiled at Rifal's words.


"I love you, Keysha."


"Love you too, brother."


Rifal smiled and pulled Keysha's hand into his arms.


"So your heart is only for me. I promise, I will keep fighting for you. I will prove that love knows no age."
