Waiting for First Love to Return
Dusk Beside Lake

I look around. The place is still the same as it was years ago when I came here. Only one changed, the tree grew bigger, so this place was even more horrified. The rest is the same.

Since living in this area, only twice have I come here. Yesterday when I met Rena, and the second is now. Reyhan never took me to the tourist attractions. I also never asked or took the initiative to ask for it.

This place is getting interesting in the afternoon. Indeed, the afternoon atmosphere seems scary for those who are afraid of the dark. But in the afternoon, many fish-eating birds fly over the lake. It is a special attraction for animal lovers. But still rarely people who come, what else before evening. Already lost to the haunted issue that has been widely circulated.

"It's not that scary, is it, Mel? Let's see ." I said pointing at a dozen flying napego birds, and some diving down caught the prey.

I smile. This place has always been fun for me. Not because of the place, but the atmosphere. More on his memory history. This is often the place of choice when we date first. There used to be quite a lot of young people coming here. But I don't know what happened in the last ten years? until this place is completely deserted. There may have been a scary event.

"Waws... I just found out that there are a lot of birds here in the afternoon. It's pretty, mbk." Amel was amazed to see the edge of the lake. His eyes sparkled and smiled cheerfully looking at her.

"Wake her up Mel." My orders remind us of our purpose in coming here, and I chose to sit not far from the long bench. My legs don't feel strong enough to support my body. But seeing the scenery above the lake water makes dizziness in the head slightly reduced. Happiness is the most powerful medicine for all pain, right?

"Eh, how come I'm mbk?" Protest and point to himself. He seems to mind a little I told him to wake up the person we were going to meet. Maybe he was lazy to deal with her again.

"Yes, lah. Than waiting for him to wake up alone? Till tonight we're here. Want you?"

"Nggk wants to mbk. "His answer was quick with a scared face and looked around with a horrified look.

"Eat him spit. Wake up, I'll say." Command again. I took out a cell phone to capture the beauty of this twilight in the lake. Smiling to see the reddish-haired bird flying around, and there are also those who perched on the edge of the lake.

My lips curled up to create a smile when I saw someone swooping down, and going up again had his food. There are also those who just drink before returning to the lumbering.

"Mhc. It's." Already." Said Amel who was sitting next to me. I smiled at him, then turned off the phone after feeling I got the picture I wanted.

"Ekhem." Deheman slowly came from the bench next to him a little far away, which made me look at the back of the man who was sitting on his back to us, looked down at his clothes, and rubbed his face.

I scrunched my forehead. Thinks. Did I ever know him? Until he wanted to see me so much? But I never knew that posture. I don't know about his face. Because that man hasn't been facing me yet. Even busy improving the appearance by combing his hair slowly which I think is neat.

I gathered strength to walk closer. Take care of it and get things done as quickly as possible. My body misses this bed. Want to fall again.

"Sorry, sir. Right away, we're here to get paid for the orders you've received." I said without a stale base. The day started late afternoon. Who wants to stay in a place with foreign men? After all, I am a married woman. Still have a fear of interacting with other men, even if it's business. Wanted to hurry up, and go home.

The man looked at me for a moment, lowering his busy hand to comb his hair long enough for a man. Then slowly twist around and perfectly see me. Smiled sweetly at me, then shifted to the end. Leave an empty place next to it.

"Do you not want to sit for a moment ? I'd like to talk to you for a minute. For payment I promise I'll pay, plus the bonus. " She said with a sweet smile, patting the empty space next to her.

Deg. My heart stopped beating to see the look of my face in front of me. But a moment later it beat fast, not because. I'm riveted. Look at a man who is no stranger to me.

"Sit tight here. There's something I want to talk about." He said again and took my hand to force me to sit by his side. "Calm down, I just want to sit down. It won't be more." Continue with a soft laugh.

I still remember very well. I used to protest a lot when she hugged, or stole a kiss. As bad as I am, I still do not want to exceed the limits of the Shari'a. Although the exact date of dating, but enough hand grip. Don't want more. Although Arfan sometimes still naughty like to steal more. A hug, or a kiss on the cheek.

"Arenfan?" Overshipped. It was the only sound that came out of my mouth. I don't believe what I see now. Can't believe the lover of heart is really in front of you now. I still haven't mastered the situation. There are so many things I want to tell you, and so many things I want to ask. But my voice seemed at a loss for words. My brain cannot think fast.

"Yes. I'm your Arfan, Thata." Convincingly.

I think my feet are getting weaker. The energy I had gathered to move on was lost perfectly. I'm really surprised by this fact. Arfanku is alive. Does he remember me? But where has he been all this time? Why would he let me wait for so many years without any news and clarity? That made me have to accept this marriage.

"Eh why?" Ask to catch my fallen body. My leg bones are perfect not strong support the weight of the body. My eyes did not move from the face that was now close to me. Convince yourself that this is reality. Not a dream or a fantasy.

"Mhc. Not the papa?" Amel's panicked voice sounded alarming. But did not approach because it got a sharp plot from Arfan who ruled him silent on the spot.

"Here sit down first." He led me to sit on the seat he had been sitting on. I didn't reject him when he led me. My brain cannot think normally. I can't tell which ones I can do and which ones are forbidden. I just let the body react as it pleases.

Am I happy? I don't know. I don't know exactly what I think. I have not forgotten my status who has now become a wife. Even more, I'm going to be a mother. But this fact does not make me refuse Arfan's sweet treatment to me now.

If only I could be patient a little more. Maybe I'll be really happy. If I choose to be patient a little. Maybe I can build a home with someone I really love. But isn't life necessary if it were? If if that happens. I chose to tell her that goodbye never existed. No need for long waits and tears . There is no need for this wedding. But baby, if only a fantasy could not be real.

"Are you right Arfan?" I asked in a choked voice, my lips trembling uncertain of reality.

Am I happy? But it turned out that anger was more domineering when I met the man I was always waiting for.

"I'm Arfan, honey. Have you forgotten me? I always miss you." It's the rock that makes my heart tremble. My eyes wet, and a small sobbing sounded. I feel him holding me in his arms. I'm not resisting.

"i miss you too Arfan. All these years I've missed you. But why did you come and say you missed? Where have you been all this time? I can only speak with my heart. My oral is still unable to convey the intent of the heart.

I can't define the feelings I have right now. There is happiness, sadness, anger, disappointment. All become one.

Seriate...

Happy reading.
