Waiting for First Love to Return
Rena Curatan

"How's it going? Seemingly? Good with husband?" Rena asked as we sat face to face in the restaurant. Food has been served.

"Alhamdulillah healthy. You alone? Your relationship with David is just as advanced." Considering Rena can already walk together with her busty mother. Must be the relationship is not just a bustle, right? There may have started to be significant progress.

Rena even sighed, throwing a rough breath.

"Why? " I don't understand what's going on. Wonderful to see her sad face, shouldn't she be happy?

"My relationship with David's mas until now there is no progress. The road in place." The story without spirit. Frowning.

"Over all that? The new family?" My wonder. Cook the way in place? I was invited to walk with my family.

"Enak. Am I a girl what? This is also one of my efforts to know." Slowly hit my arm with his spoon.

"Continue?" Curious.

"Mother and her brother were good people, far away from the untouchable David. Aunt Keysa accepted me well, and would help me persuade David to accept me. Although it also does not promise to succeed. Because for the affairs of Keysa can not force the will." The story with a sad face. "But who knows with his mother's persuasion, he'll open his heart."

"Why did you get here?"

"Nemenin Aunt Keysa will see the house of her late parents. He wants to renovate, he said. The house is so bad."

"Have you seen his house?"

"Udah. Less than a kilometer from here."

Even if you eat, there can be not much story. But we ate interspersed with stories. After a long time, I did not greet each other. Want to know the news of both sides after a long time did not meet. It is not just healthy physical news or not. But also love and work.

Silent. Spending a meal that stayed a few mouthfuls. Sipping a cold drink to refresh the throat.

"I'm curious." I pushed away the empty plate, brought the glass closer.

"What wonder?" Chewing his last meal.

"Curried about your David. " I answered by emphasizing the name of the man who made my best friend fall in love.

"Owh."

"Handsome and as attractive as what the hell is he? So you try to conquer him. Repeatedly rejected still not want to move on." My lips.

"Not to meet. Later you fall in love will suck. My rivals are many, do not want to add. But my toughest rival only exists in wishful thinking."

"I already have a husband, I won't be a rival. "

"Owh, I admitted this husband. How-how?" Already back up the spirit and leaning ready to listen to the story.

"Where's what?" Regaining body. Why is it so excited now? I was sad when I told her love story.

"Whoa. Did you accept your man? He's good-looking anyway." Imagine Reyhan at the wedding. It was only then that Rena met Reyhan.

"God. Agree also because of coercion." Rejecting my words. I used to talk to Rena, though not often. That's what Rena used to confide in me. Even I am among the people chosen for friends confide in most of the coworkers first. Because I'm not a girl who likes gossip. So it's pretty safe the secret that was told to me.

"yeah. I have no reason to refuse. She's nice, though not exactly romantic."

"Alhamdulillah if so. Then you can move on from Arfan." Sincerely speaking. Happy to hear my story.

"Arfan still has a place in my heart. I'll never forget all about him. " I said softly, breathing heavily. Laughing at the past story that is still recorded is clearly remembered.

"Don't do it, Shay. Poor husband. Forget Arfan. There is no Reyhan who is no less handsome and understanding." His advice.

"Why pity? I have done all my duties as a wife. Her right as a husband is fulfilled. Poor why?" I can't accept Rena's expression.

"If your husband had known that you still had another man's name in your heart. He must be upset and angry, right?" Trying to explain.

"Why should you be disappointed and angry? Is it because of jealousy? Why be jealous of someone who's lost somewhere." Refuting that possibility.

I don't feel guilty. Although I still remember and think about Arfan occasionally, I never neglect my duties as a wife. My heart is all I know. Let Arfan stay in the heart, and Reyhan will have his own place in my life. Because he's my husband.

"Yes. You know why I'm having trouble reaching out to David?" Rena asked with a face turned serious, and kept the pain in the look of her eyes.

"Yes, because David's not interested in you. He's got a girl next time." Reply origin. No matter what I say, it offends Rena. Some men are not just David. Why spend time chasing a guy who never saw him ? May Rena come to her senses soon. There are still many people who want to accept it sincerely. She's beautiful and hamble. Income again. His son is also a rich man.

"You're wrong, yes. " His voice lowered deep.Playing his long nails.

"Why won't he see me? Because he's always waiting for his first love who knows where and who? He still wished the girl had come to him again. Even the girl's name she doesn't remember. Hurt right? it hurts, Yes." Touching his chest and squeezing it. It was as if in that chest was a hand ready to crush his heart.

"Can't you wait for someone he doesn't know? That sick guy you're Re."

"I was willing to accept anything about him at first. Ready to go when her lady comes again. He will always accompany me throughout my waiting. But he refused, because he couldn't promise to repay my love. How does it feel to compete with someone who is almost forgotten? He only remembered his face, not his name. While increasing a person's age, sometimes a lot of changes that occur in the physical right? How do I recognize it? Even a piece of memory with the girl he can't remember. I was surprised by him. But at least one positive value for David. He's LOYAL."

I'm thinking. Very unfortunate fate of Rena who did not know the rival at all. Compete to win the heart of David, but at all do not understand and do not know the advantages and disadvantages of his rivals.

"But... Why doesn't he remember his name? Not even a memory at all." Ask wonder. Is there such love? Just remember the face of a person who meant something in the past, without remembering the memories of even his name. How does he love? Love with what?

"Said Aunt Keysa she had an accident. And forget the memories. The memory of the nameless girl was forgotten. But the word aunt he kept a photo of her togetherness with the woman, with the words love behind her. Aunt Keysa doesn't know the girl either."

"Sound thing. Just because of the photo she concluded love and waited a long time? What if the woman is married? Or maybe it used to be just a friendship or it could be love clapping one hand? " My words judge the one Rena loves.

I remember my own story. Waiting for the man I once loved. Who knows where it is now. But I chose to stop. Tired of waiting for him who never returned. Although there is still a lot of hope to see him again.

"That's how crazy Love is. So I hope you appreciate the love of your husband who now accompanies you. Forget her. It hurts to compete with the past that is somewhere, Sya. Appreciate her! "
