EL NATH (Glorious Regrets)
Chapter 4 Behind the Tragedy

The Flashback

Reading house Star Light.

Tiara works in a reading house owned by a man named Orion. The man whose wife was named Bintang, one of Nath's brothers.

Tiara sat at her desk, near the entrance of the reading house in the two-story shop. Tiara is still inputting the data of the newly purchased book.

Dert. derr...

Phone's vibrating. Tiara opened the incoming message on her phone.

📩Kak Reyfan

See you in 2 months, Tiara.

A short message that broke his heart. His heart is beating great. A short message from a man named Reyfan. The man who almost took away his chastity.

Reyfan is the older brother of Reyga who studied abroad. While Reyga is his best friend, his partner and also his love. Reyga died of congenital heart disease that he suffered from since childhood.

At the end of his life, Reyg made him have to promise. "Married to Reyfan. Mother wants you to be her daughter-in-law, Ti." Reyga's weak voice made Tiara's tears even more dripping.

"I'm..." Tiara wanted to refuse, but was unable to continue.

"Promise for me... I love you so much."

Tiiiittt's... The device next to Reyga's bed rang loudly as her heartbeat stopped.

"Reygaaaa! Gaaaaah!" His cry with his hands shook as Reyga's hand grips slowly slipped away.

"Dreamy, neng!" Someone surprised. Ethan is one of Nath's best friends.

"Just get in." Grunts and re-inputs the data.

"Nobody here?" Ask the man sitting in front of her. Ethan asked his friends who would usually come to this place.

"There's no bang. No one is missing one. Maybe it's the rain." Answer Tiara.

Outside, the rain had just stopped. Ethan Mapir came here because he thought one of his best friends was here.

"Wanna go home?" He asked as Tiara tidied up her bag.

"Yes." Yeah." Answer's short.

"Ah, yes. It's 5." Ethan showed me his watch. This reading house is closed at 5 pm and 5 minutes before 5, visitors are already in need to get out of this right.

"Barng me?" Bargainly.

Tiara thought for a moment. Not bad either, irit fare.

"Emmmmm... But I'm going to the TPU on X Street, Bang." He said because he was going to Reygah's tomb. I don't know why Reyfan's message made him feel uneasy. He wanted to complain to the owner of his heart, the late Reyga.

"You nyekar?" Ethan asked curiously.

Tiara nodded.

"OKAY. Lets go! But I stopped by the shop for a minute, yeah."

Ethan drives a car and he stops by for a while to a store that looks more like a minimarket. Ethan carried 2 plastic bags. One bag contains alcohol-containing canned drinks and another contains a canned bottled refreshment drink for Tiara.

When he arrived at the tomb, Ethan gave him one of his plastic bags. But unfortunately, Ethan gave the wrong plastic bag. He gave her a plastic bag containing her alcohol.

"Be careful bang. Thank you." Thank you." Tiara lifts the plastic Ethan gave her with a fluffy smile.

Tiara entered the tomb area that was no longer unfamiliar to her. He often comes here if he misses. He crouched down beside the tomb, touching his headstone while offering a prayer.

Reiga did not like flowers, until he came just by bringing prayers and longing that he had.

"Hi, Ga." The smile she showed.

"How are you?" Tears began to pool in her eyes. Look at the name of the man who stopped him two years ago.

"Happy in there, right, owner of the heart?"

"Heheheheh. I still want to call you that, Ga!"

"I miss hearing you call me, sweetheart." Tiara wiped her tears.

"Thank you, I've been in my life. Fill my day with color."

"Makes me feel special."

Tiara was silent for a moment. He pulled the weeds over the tomb.

"He's coming in two months, Ga. I'm confused." Tiara tries to tell Reyfan that he is coming home.

"His return last year, he almost took away my honor, Ga."

"Then what else was it? I have no proof, Ga. Same mom I believe in, but what about your family?" Tiara sobbing.

"Free me from that promise, Ga. Even though your mother still expects me to keep my promise."

"But I'm afraid, Ga. I'm afraid to look into your brother's eyes. I'm afraid, the treatment is unpredictable, Ga."

Breess!

The rain suddenly fell. Tiara panic. "I'll go home first, Ga." Pamphitt.

"I love you."

Tiara immediately left the tomb and ran towards Ezra's house. The house he lived in three months ago because of Zoya's request. The housing complex is only about 300 meters.

Tiara walks under the rain. He lamented his life. What would he do if he were to marry Reyfan. Men are rude and behave as they please.

Tiara shifted the gate and found Nath coming out from inside the house with her worried face. Nath, his rival flavor friend.

Tiara took a shower and changed clothes and went into the room. He was still thinking of Reyfan's ghost-like message floating in his brain.

"Two months away." Mumbled slowly. Tiara was currently sitting on the bed. "Damishhh!" He scratched his head violently.

"I'm like an egg at the tip of a horn counting down to fall immediately." Tiara again monologued.

"I have to say father and mother, if Reyga's family came to propose to me, they should reject it, at least postpone it until I graduate school."

"Ck! I don't even know if I'm going to college this year or not."

"But let it go. Reyfan waited for me to graduate. And that way he'll marry another girl."

"Tiara, you're smart." He smiled praising himself.

"Again, what am I afraid of. I still have a father and mother who love me. They must have put my happiness first."

Talk to yourself, in a quiet room with the sound of rain that still sounds syahdu. Truly, irrefutable proof of combo.

Tiara laid her body down after finding a way to avoid the man named Reyfan.

"Ck! Thirsty!" His complaint touched his dry throat.

Tiara wants out, but she lazily argues with Nath. The man would definitely ask at length times wide asking for his explanation.

He didn't want to meet that nosy guy right now. The man who seems to still be watching TV because the rain has not subsided, so he can not go home.

And his eyes were fixed on Ethan's plastic bag. Tiara took out a canned drink from inside and sat on the floor leaning against the side of the bed.

First hiccup. "Whiteh." Tiara stuck out her tongue. "Why is gini weird? But it's delicious." its value is in the drinks that go in his throat.

First can of toilet. "Again ah!"

Continue the second can. His stomach started to feel full, but his mind started to relax. He slowly started to forget about Reyfan.

He remembered Reyg. He was upset, why a man as good as Reyga had to quickly leave his life and Reyfan the jerk had to replace him.

Tiara went back up the third can and then she cried. Nath gets into the room and the unwanted incident happens.
