BEHIND THE TWILIGHT
Ch. 47
After all the chaos today. After all the lies that had been covered up to hide their mistakes. Every action, there is always a responsibility that comes with it. So, when a mistake is in the act, can only rely on what happens in the future. Aren't some humans not enough just to be apologized for?
There is no sweet farewell. Even if it is said in a good word. Just like dusk. However, there will still be a difference between humans and the twilight itself.
Only dusk knows how to say goodbye beautifully. While humans, there are times when saying goodbye by leaving a pain. However, does not every twilight always promise something new?
Today, Bayu is determined to put an end to all the lies he has committed. Admitting all the mistakes he made. Looking for a justification is not good, but is not admitting a mistake the right attitude? Not all humans can admit a mistake, but not all humans can also accept a lie.
Just like Handoko. The father of two children who have been lived away by his wife is very, very hateful whose name is a lie. In any form. In fact, when his own favorite son did the lie, there was still no place for a liar.
The lies that broke my father's heart. To destroy a family that has been together for many years. Shred everything. Including the girl's own life. Quit School at the age of just 17, become a mother at the age of 17 years. Truly, a pleasant deed will indeed lead us to the abyss of death itself. Isn't everything happy to end in happiness?
"Where are we going, brother?" ask the girl with a look in her eyes. The girl's round eyes had been swollen from crying since this morning. Since his father went berserk and said this and that. And the girl knew, all the pain she felt today was because of herself. Because of the stupidity he did himself.
Now, Bayu and Lula are already in the young man's car. In the back seat there was already the girl's bag and suitcase, containing all the clothes that were in the large closet. Now, all of that he had to bring. Hasn't Handoko let go with Bayu? That means, there is no place for Lula in the big house. The house that since he was a child has been a witness to all his mischief. The house that holds all the memories with the Mother, the Father, as well as his twin brother who he always hurt.
"We're going to Russia."
"Russia?"
"My parents were there. We'll be with them. I'm going to work for my father's company. Starting from the bottom, becoming an OB for example." explained the young man patiently. From today, he will forget about Luna. Forgetting the girl he had already hurt, the girl who would never belong to him.
From day one, Bayu will be determined to love Lula. Learn to accept everything that is in the girl. Isn't the girl next to him the mother of his child later?
"alright. I sleep first, sister, wake up when I get to the airport." said the girl with a raucous voice.
Nodding while stroking the top of his future wife's head, Bayu then glanced at the watch on his right wrist. The clock showed at 5pm. All right, he's gonna make a flight to Russia tonight.
"Goodbye Luna, goodbye Om Handoko, goodbye memories. I hope someday you'll be able to take us back."
***
This morning Luna decided to go to school. A few more, graduation announcements will be notified soon. Just in case any other notice will be given by the teacher. Also, because Luna was asked by her father to tell the High School if her twin sister would be transferred to Overseas.
Of course, it was just Handoko's wits to cover up all the disgrace that had occurred due to Lula's actions. If not so, then smeared already the face of Handoko as the owner of a well-known company in the country.
Sighing deeply, every time he entered the main gate, his brain was always spinning rapidly. The pieces of events that have occurred over the past 1 year have always been twisted sequentially in his memory.
Unwilling to remember, also unwilling to feel the pulse of pain in his heart, Luna chose to continue her footsteps towards her class on the 3rd floor. In a moment, he will not be troubled to climb the stairs quickly so as not to be late to class. Because Class 8 High School Labschool has now been replaced to the bottom floor itself. Whereas before, the lowest floor was the floor where the Bara class and his friends were.
Ah, that young man again. The young man who could always warm his heart with just a small smile on his lips. The young man who had always been happy to ruffle his bangs, stroked the top of his head. How much she missed the young man. Although in that longing there was a disappointment that he felt.
Passing through a room with a wide open door, Luna stopped her steps for a moment. His longing for the young man now brought the girl's footsteps into a room that had become a silent witness of his closeness with two young men at once. Being a silent witness to his struggle in practicing musical instruments and singing to deliver him to the title "Vote 1" and bring a glittering gold trophy.
Stop stepping, staring at a large shiny white object. Then, he sat his crazy ass in front of the big thing. Pressing the keys slowly. Making his sense of sadness re-emerged with various feelings that struck. Sad, longing, happy, disappointed, all mixed into one. Although he tried to approach with two young men at once, but still there was only 1 young man who managed to win his heart. The young man who was somehow in his current condition.
Turning a song intro, the girl's eyes then closed while singing the song that was viral. A song that truly illustrates his heart at this moment.
Until now it has not occurred to me
I've given a taste to people like you
If I hadn't convinced myself in the first place
Speak the perfect word, not as well as I thought
I won't take your momentary love
What about me loving you?
Who come give hope, then go and disappear
Unthinkable to you, my heart broke because of you
Without a reason, leave without saying goodbye
I won't take your momentary love
If I hadn't convinced myself in the first place
Speak the perfect word, not as well as I thought
I won't take your momentary love
What about me loving you?
Who come give hope, then go and disappear
Unthinkable to you, my heart broke because of you
Without a reason, leave without saying goodbye
I won't take your momentary love
Damn, I met with love
Fooled your speech and manner
As if I love me
Satisfied you're cheating me?
What about me loving you?
Who come give hope, then go and disappear
Unthinkable to you, my heart broke because of you
Without a reason, leave without saying goodbye
I won't take your momentary love
The song that should have been sung with an emotional beat has now become very beautiful when sung with a softness. There was a heart so scratched in every lyric of the song that the girl spoke.
Is correct. The girl who has now dropped her heart to Bara actually felt doubt after yesterday hearing all the reality from Bayu's lips. Doubtful, is the taste given by Bara true that it is love? Or, just because Bara targeted her? Make it a bet?
"Crazy! It's so cool!" pekik Laras while clapping loudly.
Looking, slightly wiped away the tears that melted in his eye peluk. Luna then smiled happily when she found her best friend suddenly coming. However, when he saw the young man behind the girl, the smile shed instantly. His memory returned to Bayu's words yesterday while in his home. How was it when the young man said that Leo was the cause of the bet. Cause he was played by 2 young men at once.
"Why are you crying?" asked Laras with a sad feeling. Remove the tears on the girl's cheek slowly. Thinking, surely the girl missed Bara who was somehow in her present state. Laras also did not know about the situation of the former Chairman of Osis.
Luna stood up from her seat, then stared at the young man behind Laras sharply. "Leo, why are you so mean to me?"
The one being asked is of course confusion. Not knowing what he had done to make the girl in front of him angry.
"What am I really doing?"
"Lo who told Bayu to be equal to make mein I bet right? That bad you are the same as me? I have a mistake what the hell is the same Lo? Do you think playing with your heart is a fun game?" the girl's fawning with tears that were seeping out.
Two men in front of him. Which man did not expect if the prank bets he did actually bring disaster to a beautiful girl.
While the woman peels because she does not believe in all the lies that Leo did. Staring at the young man softly, thinking whether Leo approached him too because of a bet?
"Luna, I'm sorry!" leo said firmly. Quickly swerve towards the girl to explain more details.
"Luna, Lo should know. I made that bet between Bayu and Bara. But, after Bara found out that Lo his son Om Handoko, Bara decided to withdraw Lun. And I agreed to that by making Bayu the winner. But, Betu desperate to continue this bet even though Bara does not accept it. Until finally, my friends really fell in love with Lo."
Luna was slightly jolted, although her heart continued to feel tremendous pain. "Fuck with love! I never thought it turned out Lo and the two friends Lo was really low! Sell your heart and yourself for a cheap bet!" the girl then leaves Leo and Laras in the music room. It was quite the pain he felt.
While after the departure of Luna, Laras now stared intently at the young man who had occupied the highest throne in his heart.
"Am I also the target of Lo's bet?" ask the girl in a clean manner. Afraid, if the young man's answer would hurt his heart.
SERIATE...
