The Light of Love for Seroja
CCUS 55: Bound A Promise

Seroja's body was still frozen when she heard the words filled with sincerity spoken from the lips of the shaleh man sitting behind her. The strings of sentences that sound so sweet like a cup of honey are able to remove the bitterness of bile that previously filled the walls of the heart. His body was slightly flat when he felt the light of love that began to creep in, giving a bright light in the recesses of the heart.

I want him to nod his head. Accept the presence of this man with all his soul. But there are two things that make it hard to accept.

"I-I appreciate all the flavors you have for me, Ru. However, I can neither accept nor welcome him."

That word escaped from the lips of Seroja, which became the answer to all good intentions conveyed by Fakhru. An answer that would probably hurt that shale man. But he believes that what this decision is, is the best decision he has taken.

Seroja. He slightly stole a glance towards this man who was in front of him. Both of the men's eyeballs also looked puffy. Maybe because they shed tears.

A smile full of bitterness seemed to frame Fakhru's handsome face. He tried to keep smiling amid the bitterness he felt.

"Give me one reason why you don't welcome my feelings, Seroja!"

"I don't deserve you Fakhru! You deserve a much better woman than me!"

A reason that might sound so cliche, but it is what Seroja feels like. The man deserved to get a woman who was much better than him. He certainly did not have a dark past like what he went through. And actually the woman who deserves to be with Fakhru is already nearby, namely Adiba.

Bound to a promise that he had said before Adiba, also became one of the reasons that made the woman did not welcome the presence of Fakhru.

As if not satisfied with the reason said by Seroja, Fakhru still asked the woman to say the real reason to burden the woman.

Seroja nodded slowly. "Yes, that's just Fakhru. I feel unworthy to be your life partner."

"Then, what kind of man deserves to be your life partner, Seroja? Is it like your ex-husband?"

The stark question that came out of Fakhru's lips successfully made Seroja's body aghast instantly. A question that forced him to re-open the memory of all that was ever created between him and the man he loved. Seroja gasped, when the silhouette of a man's face that was still neatly stored in the heart again danced in his brain.

"I-i.... "

Seroja's voice choked in the throat. His tongue felt faint again and his lips trembled slightly. Unable to say a word. The last day on which he released Randy is again present in his memory. The day he takes a big decision in his life, releasing a man he still loves.

Fakhru scanned the expression on the face of this woman before him. He carved a little smile on his face while capturing the signals of love that are still clearly visible on the woman's face.

"I can accept the reason that you still love the man who became your ex-husband, Seroja. But I can't accept the reason that you don't deserve me." Fakhru let out a heavy sigh and he exhaled slowly. "Because, when a sinner chooses to repent, by actually repenting, he deserves even the perfect figure of a priest."
