Allea
Chapters 21. Love is Unrequited

Four Years Later

The morning was the happiest day for all students and final students at the University of Berlin Germany. They won because they have succeeded in being on the edge of achievement in education.

With her graduation gown and toga on top of her head, Allea smiled smugly at the bright sky. He breathed in the fresh air that morning, then swallowed it slowly.

Not felt, eventually Allea will return to Jakarta. Soon he will meet the people he loves, including his girlfriend Ryan.

"All, finish this you stay in Germany looking for work or return to Jakarta?" asked Cleo, one of the citizens of Jakarta as well.

"Gue back to Jakarta. The people in my house are waiting for me. If you're alone, how?"

"I think I'll stay in Germany. You know for yourself, don't you think I've died a long time ago. Last month, I was caught up with me. Let alone I'm an only child, so I better stay here" the girl told me.

Allea nodded in understanding. She still has a complete family, though her birth mother has been gone for years. However, he was lucky to have Veins even though only as a Connecting Mother. However, the lady's kindness was extraordinary and was exactly the same as Allea's biological mother.

After the graduation ceremony, Allea immediately booked her return ticket to Jakarta tomorrow afternoon. Then, he immediately packed all his things. In the middle, his phone rang.

"What time do you leave from the German airport?" ask Ryan from across the street.

"Even o'clock I've started the flight. You picked me up, didn't you?"

"If, for example, it's okay?" ryan asked while teasing his girlfriend from behind the phone.

"No, dong. Remember, you've denied me when I wanted to go to Germany. So, this time you have to pick me up."

"Indeed, this one girl is just demanding. Once more, "say Ryan. However, Allea did not press. He just laughed a little with Ryan's protest.

Allea and Ryan ended their call. The girl continued to arrange all her things. Handle the door of the room opened, he saw Cleo come in and sit on her bed. Yes, Cleo was Allea's roommate during their stay at the campus dormitory.

Allea did choose to live in the campus dormitory to maintain her safety. Although many people know that Germany is one of the safe countries, but still the girl feels safer if there are around the campus with other students and students.

***

After six months of Allea leaving for Germany, Iqbal decided to stay with Andre and Vena. Iqbal's life is no longer as lonely as it used to be after the departure of his biological father.

After deciding to marry Vena, Andre had already considered Iqbal as his own son. In fact, the middle-aged man had already prepared a single special room for Iqbal to occupy. It's just that Iqbal still thinks a lot.

"Already, Ma. Tomorrow it's Ryan and I who are going to take everything before Ryan picks up Allea at the airport.

"Just Mama and Papa leave everything to you and Ryan. We are sure, if all will go well," said Andre while waiting for the return of his son who has spent years living in the country of people.

Iqbal went into his room, he looked at his picture with Allea on the nightstand. Apparently, his feelings that have been around for a long time still exist today. He managed to keep it neat without anyone knowing.

The feeling was guarded and kept neatly in the depths of the heart. He knew Allea would never reply to him, but he felt fine.

"I don't think, All, you've been gone four years of my life. During that time, I did not see you, but the feeling could not be lied to if I still keep the same taste for you. In fact, I don't know until when it's all there and gone. I used to see you same Rangga, after this I will accept every day see you both the same Ryan."

Iqbal looked at the photo of Allea. It was true that everything was clearly still the same as before and it was visible from the look in his eyes that looked at the photo of Allea. Never changed even one bit.

Iqbal put the photo back on the nightstand. He spread his body with eyes staring at the ceiling of his room.

It is true, people say, if the world cannot be controlled forever. The love that we want to have, will not always work.

Long time ago, before papa Iqbal died. He always made the world his own. Living free as he wished, although Iqbal was basically a good boy. He can always choose which love he wants to have, but not this time.

He cannot have the love of Allea and this is what is called that not forever the world can be conquered. For the first time, Iqbal must save his own love without reciprocation.

In the middle of Iqbal was daydreaming, one notification from his phone came in. Iqbal opened it, it turned out that it was a message from Daren. "Tap the kids to get together. You're coming, right?"

Iqbal just opened and read it, after which he closed the message again. Since the incident Rangga betrayed Allea and broke up with the girl, their friendship is still tenuous. There was no sign that carried them in kindness for all those years.

"It's just that Iqbal is the same," Daren told one of them. Then, Rangga just kept silent saying nothing, while they all still know what causes the relationship to be tenuous to this day.

"Rangga, you don't want to try to open the path of your friendship with Iqbal so good again like six years ago?" daren and the others agreed.

"Gue doesn't want to think about what I don't want to think!" In fact, even today Rangga does not want to admit his mistake. For him it is very natural to have a relationship that runs aground in the middle of the road because it feels bored.

"But, in fact, your relationship with Rhea is also not okay. Look now, you're not the same as Rhea. Rhea is cheating behind you, Bro," exclaimed one of them.

What they said was true. If Allea and Rangga end, not a match. But it was Rangga who had cheated, who could not keep the heart for one person only. He prefers to play with fire, until finally the fire burns itself as well.
