The Last Love of My Life

The Last Love of My Life
Meet with Syaqila


"It's late at night Dhira, you should rest first yes, do not play escape again, now must obey me, Dhira can not go like before, use through the window all over again".


"Please promise me that you won't leave me, now and then".


"I promise you Dhira, that I will fight to get you, don't get drunk again like this, you can be mad at me but don't expose everything to yourself".


Rifki helps Nadhira to sleep, Nadhira is much calmer when Rifki has promised him, and he is able to sleep soundly in that place, meanwhile, Rifki then helped him to pair a blanket to cover Nadhira's body when he was asleep.


"Good night Dhira, sleep well for tonight, I hope you forget whatever I say right now, I just don't want you to be wretched because of me Dhira, I hope you forget what I'm saying, it looks like I have to give you a drink to get drunk, it's really cool to see me throw a badass" Rifki said as she rubbed Nadhira's head slowly.


Seeing Nadhira who had fallen asleep soundly tonight made Rifki feel peaceful, he immediately rushed away from the room to let Nadhira rest in it quietly.


Because of his fatigue it makes Nadhira able to fall asleep calmly especially when he had heard the promise uttered by Rifki, either after he realized later he would remember it or he had forgotten it.


Rifki looked at Nadhira who was lying asleep with a gaze filled with tenderness, he rubbed Nadhira's head to make him able to fall asleep soundly at night today.


"I'm sorry that I made you fall in love, would love hurt Dhira so much, if I knew it would end up like this, I wouldn't be too far away from making you love me, let me endure all this pain, Dhira, see you cry like a slit in my heart Dhira, but I have no choice".


Rifki clasped Nadhira's hand as if it would be difficult for her to let go of Nadhira, but she had no other choice, he would never be able to kill Nadhira with a xingsi heirloom dagger even though he had to destroy the demon jewel.


"I'm the one who deserves to be destroyed the first time Dhira, let me lose my life instead of having to watch you take my life before me, it's even more painful".


*****


The next morning, the bird was already chirping outside the headquarters of Gengcobra, since the morning Rifki had left the room to do his work, so he had to leave the room, while Nadhira slowly began to open his eyes with a head that still felt so dizzy no matter what happened last night to him.


"I where?" Nadhira asked softly when his gaze still looked so blurry.


Nadhira also held his head that was painful, all he remembered was when he was with Theo in a room but the room he occupied this time was different from the one he remembered all night.


Nadhira blinked his eyes several times to make the view clear and looked at his surroundings, and slowly his field of view began to look so clear, so clear, he felt he had entered this room before and even the rest of the room had not changed at all.


"How am I supposed to be here again? What happened to me last night? Was he the one who brought me here?".


He also opened his blanket to see his body, he was so surprised when he saw Rifki's suit was pinned on his body, he opened the suit and saw that the clothes he was wearing were now slightly open and almost showed his chest.


"Did Rifki do anything to me last night? I will never forgive you Rif, I hate you" Nadhira felt like she had been tarnished by Rifki last night.


Nadhira took off the suit and immediately tidied up his almost exposed clothes, he felt creepy if he imagined what really happened to him last night that he was completely unaware.


Though the truth though in a state of fighting Rifki still think about the honor of Nadhira and wear a suit Seca upside down to cover Nadhira's chest that has been slightly exposed.


Suddenly someone entered the room without prior notice, and it suddenly made Nadhira immediately cover the body with a blanket that he was holding at this time.


"You've woken up Dhira" said the man who was none other than Bayu.


"Why did you come inside?" Nadhira asked nervously.


"I'm just worried about your condition Dhira, did Rifki do anything to you yesterday? Rifki said you're so exhausted".


"Did Rifki have desecrated me?" Nadhira asked with uneasiness and also sadness.


"I don't know about it, don't you remember anything about last night?".


"I don't remember Bay at all, why am I here?".


"I brought you here Dhira, and the suit belongs to Rifki, as I recall yesterday you didn't wear the suit, did Rifki come to you last night?".


"Where is Rifki at the moment? I want to ask Bay, I want to know if he really harassed me here or not"


"No need to do that Dhira, he's not at the headquarters right now, he just told me after you woke up he told me to get you out of this base, because he doesn't want to see you again at Gengcobra headquarters".


"He kicked me out after harassing me last night? How insolent he is, am I no longer holy now"


"Did you remember anything about last night's incident between you and Rifki, Dhira? Try to remember again about what happened last night".


"No, I can't remember at all what happened to Bay yesterday, which I remember being with Theo, but why am I here now? And also my reservation was a little open, I think he did something to me last night".


"I don't know about that Dhira, as soon as you leave this base, I don't want to make Rifki angry later if you stay here".


"Without you even telling me I'm leaving here Bay, please tell your Young Master that, don't ever see me again, I hate him so much Bay, and I'll never forgive him for what happened last night".


With full of disappointment Nadhira immediately rushed away from the place and slammed Rifki's coat, his feelings felt so mixed at the moment, he did not expect that Rifki would do that to him, he said, and Nadhira's departure from the place made Bayu feel guilty for lying to him.


Bayu kept silent at that place while staring at the departure of Nadhira from the headquarters of the Gengcobra with his sadness, not long after someone rose from his seat from behind a bookcase in that place.


"You've done the right thing Bay, I'm very grateful to you for saying that to Nadhira" said the man who was none other than Rifki.


Rifki accidentally sits behind a bookcase so that Nadhira does not see it, Rifki will not be able to leave Nadhira just drunk because he does not want the previous incident to happen again, so he sat behind the closet reading some books there.


"I've hurt my best friend, how can you call what I did Rif's right, I won't be able to forgive myself Rif".


"Baby I know that, this is also for Nadhira's sake, let her hate me, if she hates me then she will never commit such a careless act just for me later, she said, the more he hates me the more I feel at ease".


"You can't lie to me Rif, I know that you're just comforting me right now, even though you feel pain when Nadhira says that, right? She must have thought that you had harassed her last night, when the truth was that you saved her so she wouldn't be harassed".


"I love Dhira so much, how could I let someone else harass her Bay, a woman's self-esteem is so meaningful, if she lost her pride last night, she said, I don't know what else he'll do when he finds out he's sleeping with Theo in the open".


"Then why are you asking me to do this Rif? I don't think with that way of mind of yours, is it just because of that heirloom you have to hurt Nadhira like this?".


"Even though I explain it to you that you'll never understand what I'm doing Bay, you can get out of here, I want to be alone now".


"Yes Bay".


Bayu immediately rushed out of Rifki's room and left the pensive Rifki alone in her room, he also looked at the window where there was a red rose stalk that was neatly displayed in a vase that contained a little water.


"This flower will slowly wither in the end, however much I struggle to give life by giving it water if it is fate then my efforts will be in vain, will our relationship be the same as this flower Dhira?".


Rifki touches the petals slowly, the flower is a gift from Nadhira when he was drunk last night, and Rifki still keeps the flower.


"How can I kill you with this xingsi heirloom keris? Even if I have to die, I prefer to sacrifice my life for you Dhira" Rifki also touched his chest where the xingsi heirloom keris is located.


There seems to be no other way for him to choose this time, he loves Nadhira very much but his parents have betrothed him to another woman, and he loved Nadhira very much but fate told him to destroy the devil jewel in Nadhira's body.


Fate really does not side with him at this time, whether what steps he will take next, he can not think about it because he loves Nadhira so much.


Between marrying Syaqila or killing Nadhira with a xingsi heirloom keris is not an option for Rifki, but an obligation he must do for both of them, he is a descendant of Prince Kian so he must carry out tasks that his predecessor has not been able to complete.


"Rifki, follow your heart, son, whatever decision you're going to make, that's best for all of us, don't blame yourself for everything that's happening to you right now"


Suddenly there was a voice of someone around his room, he immediately turned his head to his back and found a figure of a middle-aged man who was standing before him at this time.


"Who are you? Why did you get into my room?" Asked Rifki who did not believe what he saw at the moment.


"I'm your ancestor, son, how could I not break through this shield you've made? While I've taught it, this shield doesn't apply to me".


"I don't know you at all".


"I am Abiyoga the son of Panji and you are also my only living descendant, Son, indeed your duty to be born into this world is very heavy because you have to complete tasks that I have not been able to complete, don't make love your weakness but make love your strength and courage to step up, don't give up I'm so sure to you that you can get through this".


"What should I do? What kind of job is my responsibility?"


"You have to destroy the jewel, son, don't let it become a material grab or fall into the hands of the wrong person"


"Is there any other way to get the jewel out than to kill it with a xingsi heirloom dagger? I beg you to give me a hint for that, I don't want to make my loved ones die in my own hands".


"You'll find it later, just follow your heart for now, son, because there you'll know what to do".


After saying that slowly the land of the figure began to disappear from the presence of Rifki, and Rifki continued to look for the existence of the figure but he did not find it at all.


"Grandfather Abiyoga, where are you? Please tell me, what should I do Grandpa, why don't you give me the slightest clue" Shouted Rifki.


*****


Nadhira sat alone on a park bench not far from the lake, still thinking about what was happening to him last night, he really did not remember anything about yesterday's events.


But Bayu's words were still ringing in his memory, especially with his shirt slightly open and it was covered by a suit owned by Rifki, the more Nadhira tried to remember the more his head hurt.


"What really happened to me yesterday? Had he abused me as Bayu said, Oh God how stupid of me that night".


Nadhira was sweating coldly imagining it, how could he be easily abused by Rifki, even he was completely unaware of what happened that night, it is very difficult to accept the reality of the bitterness now.


He buried his face in a table in front of him by folding his hands in front, how stupid he was that night and he did not expect that Bayu had brought him the headquarters of Gengcobra.


Though what actually happened was that Rifki had saved his honor from a man like Theo, and who brought him the headquarters was Rifki himself not Bayu, if Nadhira finds out for himself, he might feel very happy because Rifki still cares about him.


"I hate you, Rifki, hate you so much".


Nadhira's heart was really messed up this time, he was very disappointed with the figure of the Rifki who changed suddenly and even Rifki had dared to harass him, he said, Rifki who he knew with an attitude that concerned the self-esteem of a woman is now no longer as he knew before.


"Hi, can I sit here?" Suddenly there was the voice of a girl next to Nadhira.


Nadhira who heard the voice immediately raised his face to see who was next to him this time, a beautiful girl with long unraveling hair was seen smiling thinly at him.


"Please" replied Nadhira indifferently.


"You're Nadhira, right?" Ask the girl.


"Yes, why do you know my name?" Nadhira asked astonished at the girl who knew her name.


"Include me Syaqila" said the girl as she thrust her hand at Nadhira.


Nadhira immediately shook his hand to shake hands with the figure he just recognized, "me Nadhira, if you can know why you can know my name?".


"I know from Aunt Daughter Rifki's mother, oh yes I'm the future fiancee Rifki, so there's no harm in being friends with you, after all said Aunt Princess you are her best friend".


Nadhira did not expect that he would meet directly with the figure who had been betrothed to Rifki, and the girl looked so beautiful and graceful than him, Nadhira was only able to smile wryly in front of the girl.


"Oh so you are the one chosen by the Aunt Princess, congratulations yes" Nadhira said with a sigh.


"Thank you, Rifki's friend is my friend too, so may I be friends with you Dhira?"


"Can".


"Oh yeah, what do you think Rifki is?".


"Rifki is a good person, helpful to others without distinction, loving, wise in action, you are very lucky to have him" Nadhira said with tears in his eyes even though his heart was now crying as he pleased.


Nadhira thinks Putri has chosen a soul mate for Rifki who is so beautiful and unlike her, when compared to Syaqila she lost everything, it is fitting that the Princess prefers Syaqila rather than her.


"really?".
