TWILIGHT IN MEIRA'S HEART
Episode 28's
Meira and Farah were still chatting at the Padang restaurant that afternoon, while enjoying the rice field with their favorite side dishes, Julia was still the main topic in their conversation.
“Talking to Julia makes my energy completely drained Mir” said Farah while devouring her food.
“Iya.. I also feel like I'm out of heavy exercise..eat it so hungry.” said Meira.
“Ehh..but you believe not Mir, the same what did Julia say earlier?” Ask Farah
Meira. “Deni told me everything Far.”
“I also absolutely do not believe.moreover the time he said many female friends who envied him because he could be close to Deni, my stomach instantly nausea.” said Farah while chuckling.
“What he said was totally unaccountable, ask him a lie.Maybe he meant to talk like that so that I was jealous and provoked by emotions.” said Meira.
“Iya.and thank God you are not easily provoked, I see you are so calm earlier” said Farah.
“While there are people who envy him, there are those who envy you Mir” said Farah
Meira's hand style, holding a spoon in the air, stopped for a moment.
“Iri..?” Meira widens her eyes
“Iya envious...You didn't see how his facial expression was?” ask Farah.
“I didn't have time to observe his face earlier, all I thought about was wanting to splash his face with my tea pull” Meira was blown away
“Akupun wants to cover his mouth with this green sambal Mir, so he stops talking.” Farah chimed in while pointing at the green chili on her plate.
“There are people like Julia, kirain only exist in soap oper” said Meira
“As you just saw..In fact there is Mir...” said Farah.
“His shame has really broken up, he has no shame at all” Farah continued.
Meira was silent for a while.
”If you think, Julia is highly educated, academically also no doubt her intelligence, physically she is beautiful, materially also more than enough. He has everything, but why does his behavior not reflect that he has it all.” Meira said later.
“All that does not guarantee anyway Mir, depending on the personality of each individual.” Farah said
“Ya..” Meira nodded.
“The only thing in his brain is Deni, Deni and Deni..” Farah laughed.
“Kayak no other man, he knows Deni already has a girlfriend.” he continued
Meira shrugged her shoulders. “Entahlah..akupun also did not finish thinking, only this time I met someone like that” Meira said while chewing her skin crackers.
“It turns out he was terrible indeed.just you never ngiggau mention his name, the time of sleeping in kostanku.” said Farah.
Meira held back her laughter. He recalled a while ago he had imagined Julia to be a ghost.

Late at night, Julia was still standing on the balcony of her apartment. He looked around with empty eyes. Occasional gusts of the night breeze struck his face, but he paid no heed to it.
It wasn't easy for him to accept what Farah told him this afternoon. Farah's words made her heart seem like it was struck by lightning. The Deni he once knew has changed. His attention was now pouring heavily on Meira.
Julia's eyes glazed over, before long the tears fell on her cheeks.
“Saddening once you Julia, your loved one turns out to love someone else.” He sobbed.
”From the beginning I always got what I wanted, but to get Deni, I had to keep fighting, but many times I swallowed disappointment and bore shame.” Julia is still sobbing.
Julia sat herself on the balcony chair to refrain from falling. His body was a little weak as he was constantly crying.
“For this Deni, never loved me. I know that, and stupidly I keep expecting it. But I can't fight this feeling, the more I want to forget Deni, the stronger it becomes. I'm really stuck in a complicated situation.” Stroking Julia. Her tears were getting wet her cheeks.
“Could Deni really love Meira? or she was with Meira just for the escape, because she had to part with me when I continued my study abroad.” suddenly Julia felt optimistic.
“Ya.ya..ya...can so it” he nodded while smiling meaningfully.

During the day Julia will meet Reno Deni's best friend from college. Julia waited at a restaurant she had agreed with Reno this morning.
“Hai Lia..sorry to make you wait a bit long...There is still work that I have to finish earlier.awkwardly if not all” said Reno apologized.
“No problem” Julia flanged with a smile
After they went stale asking each other for news and work, Reno began to ask Julia.
”What important things do you want to talk about Lia?”
Julia turned her head briefly out the window, took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly.
“Do you want to answer my question honestly?” Ask Julia
Reno frowned. “If I can answer, of course I will answer honestly”
“Alright then..” said Julia
“What did Deni talk about when he met you?” Ask Julia
“Most often the problem of work” replied Reno
“What's wrong?” Reno asked back.
“He never told me about personal problems?”
“What kind of personal problems is Lia?”
“About someone he likes for example?”
Quickly Reno says “About Meira means?”
Julia nodded.
“Ohhh...if about Meira he often stories. He had never found a girl like Meira he said at the time. Only Meira can make him fall in love. Of course Deni really likes Meira, because I think she's a nice and friendly girl. Fika my boyfriend also really likes Meira. They can be instantly familiar the first time they meet.” Reno's Story.
“So much did Deni love Meira?” Julia asked with a forced smile.
“If that is the case you should just ask Deni directly,” replied Reno.
“But according to my observation Deni loves Mira very much. All this time I have never seen Deni close to women, except Meira,” Reno continued
“First college time was Deni close to me,” tepis Julia
“Ohh...iya.ya...” replied Reno slowly. Reno almost forgot that Julia liked Deni. Reno realizes that Julia is investigating Deni through her.
“Did Deni never tell you about me?” Ask Julia
Reno shook her head slowly. “As I recall not.”
There was disappointment in Julia's face. Again, he must be disappointed.
“Do you still love Deni?” Ask Reno
Julia nodded slowly.
“Sorry..before Lia if I get too involved, but let Deni be happy with Meira. You will also someday find your own happiness.” Reno's Advice.
Julia looked at the cup of coffee in front of her.
“No Fani, no Reno. They support Meira more than I.” Inner Julia.
