The Tears of Ayanda
chapter 84. Recognition

Ayanda froze when Gio asked her to marry him. His little heart wanted to but his fear still overcame his will. Little by little the seeds of his love grew for Gio. As the saying goes, love comes from habituation. It is also undeniable that sometimes she remembered the figure of her ex-husband because she had not completely forgotten Rion.

"Yes if you're not ready yet" said Gio and immediately let go of his embrace. He went to the dining table that was well organized.

Ayanda felt guilty, her ego still dominating her heart right now. I don't know when he'll hang Gio, because his heart isn't completely sure.

Ayanda followed Gio sitting on the table that had been prepared, they ate in a quiet atmosphere. Plus the face shown by Gio is a sad and bitter face.

I'm still not sure, Gi. I'm sorry, her inner.

- In Jakarta -

Rion and Arya were in one of the cafes, Rion leaned his head against the sofa by massaging the base of his nose that felt dizzy.

"Why do caves always remember Yanda, huh?" ask her to Arya.

"Move on is bro, the cave is sure Ayanda is happy with Andra," replied Arya.

"The cave is happy if Ayanda is happy, but the cave will not be able to move on from her. She'll be the only woman in cave life" he replied.

"The only one, did you not wish Ayanda with the serpent of the rice field" Arya reproached.

Rion let out a long sigh, recalling the incident almost ten years ago that foolishly chose a piece of trash instead of maintaining a handful of pearls that he had already grasped. That was the biggest mistake of his life. Once he planted the seeds of pain and deep wounds for Ayanda, now he must accept Ayanda who left him. The law of cultivation is very real.

If nothing new feels, that his presence is precious, Arya kicked with her fake voice while mocking her best friend.

"Your fucking best friend," he snorted.

Arya only laughed when she saw Rion's expression.

"Aren't you really going to find a friend again?" ask Arya.

Rion just shook his head. "gua has no right to be happy, happy cave only to Ayanda. Let in the rest of this life the cave lives in a regret," he said.

Arya scrunched her forehead clueless. "the rest of life means? Feels like you're going to die tomorrow," he added.

Rion laughed at Aryan's speech. "beg* lah, you're free to menenan same cave brain no pinter-pinternya," he said.

"Kampret lu, the cave brain is a hundred times smarter than your shrimp brain. Try to think that every problem there is a cave that must think, your work is just a beg* human who planga-plongo," he mocked.

Rion just glared annoyed with Arya's words.

"Eh bloon, what was the meaning of your words? Looks handsome, the brain is not an inch," said Arya.

Ck, tsk,

"Your mouth is like a hollow bucket that nyerocos aja not know the brake," he said.

"Clearly!" Aryan pinta.

"Nobody needs a cave, the point is that the cave will be pendam this love until the end of the cave's life" he said.

Arya was stunned to hear Rion's words. Since when can this stupid friend of his be this dramatic and wise.

After finishing eating Gio immediately stood up from his seat. Not a word came out of his mouth.

"Gi" panggi Ayanda's.

Gio's steps stopped. "your room next to mine, on the 17th floor, there are only two rooms," he said and passed away leaving Ayanda.

Gio was not angry at Ayanda, but as time went on Ayanda still refused his invitation to marry her chest hurt as well. For a moment he thought, is it inappropriate for Ayanda?

Gio moved his feet towards the beach. The dark conditions of the beach, the roar of the waves that adorn the silence of the night make it comfortable to sit on the sand without any seat.

His mind glared far away staring at the vastness of the ocean. His gaze was blank but his mind was filled with Ayanda.

Ayanda could only sigh slowly. Convincing his heart repeatedly to approve or reject Gio's invitation.

With a furious step Ayanda walked towards the window of the hotel room. He opened the curtains that covered the window. A smile on his lips when he saw the beautiful view from behind the window of the room. In front of him the sea water is dancing in the darkness of the night that is enhanced by the sparkling light of stars and also the perfect moon.

Ayanda's gaze was locked when she saw someone who was looking down on the shore alone. It was almost midnight but the man deliberately sat on the sand that had been soaked in sea water.

Ayanda opened the window, as if she knew the man. From clothes to posture he knew her well.

"Is that Gio?" ask him to yourself.

Before long the man looked up at the beautiful night sky. There was a faint scream coming from her direction. Ayanda continued to watch her not feel tears falling from her eyes.

On the beach, Gio woke up from his seat. The pants he was wearing were wet from the sea water brought by the waves.

"If this time he rejects it, I'll back off. Letting her go back to her ex-husband" she said, shutting her eyes to the sky.

The gusts of very strong coastal wind made him fold both hands over the chest. He deliberately left his feet exposed to water that was pushed by the waves.

With tears falling Ayanda rushed down to Gio who was on the beach alone. He stepped slowly when what he saw in front of him was indeed Gio.

He ran and hugged Gio from behind with a slow sob. Gio knew this must be the woman he loved.

"I'm sorry" that's all Ayanda's lips said.

The breath is slow but implies a lot of meaning now issued by Gio. He turned his body.

He cupped Ayanda's face that was hard to moisten by tears. He wiped it gently.

"If you're not ready, that's okay, I'll never force you" he said with a smile made as sweet as possible, when in fact his heart was sore.

"I don't want to get married without love, it will complicate our relationship in the future" Gio said.

Gio's words were able to cut Ayanda's heart, somehow the words that Gio used to say to her and considered only a joke by her now very painful for him. His tears could not be stopped anymore.

"You are evil, Gi," said Ayanda's mouth with tears falling on her cheek.

Gio stared at it, Ayanda ran away leaving Gio alone.

The roar of tears accompanied his steps, but a hug from behind made his steps stop.

"I'm sorry," that's all Gio can say. Gio turned Ayanda's body to face her.

"I don't want to force you because of my selfishness, I know you still love your ex so much ...."

"I love you Giondra."
