I never thought at all that the business opponent Ravi told me was a man from my own past. This body felt frozen when faced directly with Surya who had been long enough never heard from again.
Flashback.
When we were in High School, Surya and I were a couple who were famous for their achievements because we both always stood on the school podium every time we received the report card. Until we got a degree from a student who idolized me and surya as 'The Best Couple of The Year'
If I get champion one then Surya will stand to my right as the one who gets the title of champion two. Although sometimes our position is reversed when the man with a typical smile looks like him, standing dashing became a common stage in our school first. Me and surya are both in the same special class precisely the IPA department, because we are both very famous for having the same intelligence and also the same hobby that is reading in the library room.
Even the beginning of our commitment to tie the rope called courtship ala young people also occur in the library room, the library, when suddenly Surya declared his love when I was still faced with a thick book in front of my face.
“Saras, we've been close for quite a while, and I also fit in every time we walk with you, even though we spend almost every day in this library! I feel like we go out every day on a date in the library and I'm happy to sit with you like this!”
Surya suddenly grabbed my finger which was just holding a book and then by looking at my face while directing his body right to me, the young man stared at my face so long that I felt really embarrassed and very groggy.
I never had a date because I thought it would be a waste of my time to study. While I want to be a successful person, so that one day can make my parents happy, where We and our family always run this life full of poverty. Even I went to school in a place as popular as this only rely on scholarships that I get because of my good learning achievements to make the school give me pocket money and also book money.
While Surya, a nomad from the other side of the country and who I know is the son of a sultan, Tajir is twisted yet simple, that's what I love about him. But there's no way I'm accepting him while we're like the earth and the sky, I have to be self-conscious about it.
Surya's face immediately emitted a deep disappointment But for some reason, the young man clasped my hand again and placed it on his chest and part. Surya shook his head with a faint smile embedded on his lips.
“You must be lying just to reject my love! Try to feel my heartbeat, I always feel this heartbeat beating faster every single one of us! Am I wrong to fall in love with you, Saras? Am I wrong to want to spend time in the future just with you?”
I really want to feel I immediately scatter this head on his chest that field but I try to brush off all the flavors and also show a smile that must be accompanied by a headband.
“I can't date first, Surya. Really, I just want to learn and learn so that later can change my family's economy for the better. I'm tired of hearing my mother insulted people just because we were poor. I was tired when a friend wanted to play at home but after seeing our hut they were disgusted to come in! I became a successful person, Surya ..”, I said for various reasons that make sense according to my living conditions.
“Then let me always hold your hand and be your companion so that we can achieve success together! Be my lover and we will both reach our goals by helping each other because I love you so much!”
I will never forget the way Surya spoke in expressing his love.
“Hello, how are you, Saras? Uh sorry, Ms Saraswati?” surya asked that immediately made me jerk up from the beautiful story about our past.
