The Rewrite Our Destiny
Chapter 34. Change desire

For some reason, until Ily got home, his mind was still ringing with Bayu saying he was cheap. The words were so disturbing and made Ily unable to think calmly.

Ily exhaled a rough breath then rubbed her face with both palms. She chose to go into the bathroom to fill her body with water.

Not long after, Ily came back and hurried to pick the clothes. Blouse moka-colored balloon sleeves combined with a black knee-length plisket skirt.

He will go to visit a friend who has not been found for a long time. Perhaps, by spending time with his best friend can provide the best solution.

Before actually leaving, Ily first told his best friend. After that, Ily got out using her car.

Around the twenty-minute drive, Ily's car had stopped in the parking lot of the apartment where her best friend lived. Ily just hope that his best friend is not going anywhere.

Ting tong's.

Ily rang the bell in front of the apartment unit of the friend, Megan. Not how long, the door was opened and revealed the figure of Megan complete with their faces.

"Cally! You came at last!" peekik Megan splash and then hugged the friend.

Ily smiled and hugged Megan back. "I've been very busy lately. So, there is rarely time to just stop by" replied Ily after the hug came off.

Megan nodded her head and pulled Ily's arm to enter her apartment. "You don't want Caramel Machiato? Because the powder is still there," Megan bargained after Ily dropped her body on a double sofa.

Ily smiled sumringah. "Very wanted. You should not have to offer and just make it. I'll be sad," replied Ily chuckling softly.

Megan rolled her eyes. "You? Gothin? With me? Ck, the world will definitely collapse" Megan sneered as she passed leaving Ily who was already laughing out loud.

"The world without me is lonely, Meg!" Ily screamed for her voice to be heard by Megan who was currently in the kitchen.

No more responses from his best friend who changed with the sound of a rotating coffee machine.

Not long after, Megan returned with a tray in her hand. "Nih, special for my beloved friend," said Megan as she held out a cup of coffee with Caramel Machiato flavor.

"Wear ice, right?" ask Megan to make sure.

Ily nodded with sparkling eyes. "You understand me the most" Ily replied and immediately sipped a coffee with a straw that Megan had prepared in her glass.

"Eh, where's the guide? The last time you came was a long time ago. Probably almost a year," Megan's lead is exaggerating.

Ily's face immediately blurred and it was immediately captured clearly by Megan.

"Don't tell me if you're—"

"We're no longer together" Ily replied cutting off Megan's guess.

Ily could hear the rough breathing from Megan's mouth. "If you could know, why? Feelings, your relationship is fine and looks perfect" Megan asked in an inexhaustible manner.

Ily leaned her shoulders on the back of the sofa and her eyes closed gently. Megan who knows how Ily is, let her go first. From her behavior, Megan can guess if the problem is quite strange.

"Seriously you? Cheating guide? With who? Why can?" ask Megan bertubi-tubi.

Ily exhaled her breath rough. "With her High School friend," Ily and Megan answered, starting to guess who the figure was.

"Which friend is it? How come I don't know? Does Pandu have girlfriends?" ask Megan wonder.

"I know they weren't that close. Unlike us who already know all the Pandu family. I also don't know when Pandu can get close to him," replied Ily still making puzzles in Megan's head.

"Who the hell, Ly? I'm curious. You get to the point, dong. Don't convolute," growled Megan was annoyed.

"Renita," said Ily again who managed to make Megan's eyes widen.

"Renita? Renita who he said used to like chasing the Pandu? Why is it so cheating now? Hasn't Pandu never responded to anything in the past?" megan asked not to think.

Ily exhaled again and then sipped her coffee again. "I've lost. He came when I was off guard. When I was busy with my ideals and maybe ... Pandu is lonely. He has taken my position" Ily said with a glaring look.

There was a sense of unwillingness when Ily had to pronounce if Renita had replaced her position. The many years of time Ily and Pandu spent together seemed to be wasted.

Beautiful memories with Pandu seem difficult to forget. It all felt so hard and neat in his heart.

"I still remember how wonderful it was. The time when Pandu and I always spend time together," said Ily nostalgic.

"And I'm the mosquito repellent" Megan said, which made Ily snort.

Ily knew that Megan was trying to cheer her up. But this time, it was hard not to remember the past.

"I miss that time, Meg. I miss the time when Pandu and I could always meet. However, as we get older, we have to position ourselves well. And here, I realized that I was wrong," said Ily began to pull out her uncles. His eyes began to glaze over if he remembered Pandu.

"I was too eager to pursue my ideals to rarely have free time for Pandu," explained Ily again and Megan still faithfully listening.

"Can I go back to that time, Meg? And changed my desire to be a doctor. I don't want to be a doctor if it'll keep me away from the people I love. But every time I remember Mama and Fira's faces, I'm ready to sacrifice my body. And that means, I must have lost Pandu forever," Ily's raving who sounded so excited about having been crying ever since.

Megan hugged Ily and patted her shoulders gently. "Your current profession is very noble. You are an angel to those who need your help. Your goal is indeed very extraordinary. It's just my advice, don't forget to take time for yourself and those closest to you" Megan replied starting to provide a solution.

"Don't because you want to help them, you forget to pay attention to yourself and your loved ones. Including me, Ly. Honestly, I think you are obsessed. What are you really looking for in the journey of life that you're taking?" ask Megan again.

"I don't want the events that happened to Mama and Fira to happen again. I want to, they all survived," Ily replied without exaggerating.

"Your goal is very good. Only, you may forget that no matter how much and how hard man tries, if God does not will, it will not happen. The soul mate, death, and sustenance God has arranged with each measure."

"So, take some time for yourself first. You need to pamper yourself. Try to take good working hours. The surgeon at the hospital is not just you. If you reduce your work hours, it doesn't mean that the patient won't be treated, right?" megan said at length.

Ily was pensive and quietly confirmed Megan's words.
