INSECURE, Love of the Past
Mementos

4 months later..

Ivan and I are completely separated now. But I've been anticipating my heart not to hurt too much until the time comes. Ivan's brother was already at the airport, he kept texting me so I would meet him there. I asked Daffa to help me get there.

Arriving at the airport, I saw Brother Ivan sitting in the waiting chair. I called her name and she looked at me. He was so happy that I came to see him. I ran over to Brother Ivan who was sitting alone.

"Sister, where are Ivan's parents? Why are you suddenly telling me?"

"My parents went there first, so I'm just leaving now. Yes, sorry mar. Mother who bought the ticket, I don't know if I left today. Thanks for coming."

"Yes, sister, I want to love this brother." I gave Brother Ivan a blue heart-shaped keychain that if at night would twinkle like a star.

"Thank you, I like it. I have something for you too."

Brother Ivan gave me a pink box tied with a matching ribbon. Ivan told me to open it. When I opened it, a necklace with a love pendant inside which had the initials M&I. The jewel in the pendant was shining brightly in view from various angles. Like a diamond on each side that reflects light.

"Sister, this must be expensive. I don't pantes for this Nerima."

"Because you're special and expensive Mar."

I was embarrassed to hear Brother Ivan speak so.

"One day when I come back Mar, take good care. And I'm gonna keep this good." Said Brother Ivan while holding the keychain in his hand.

"Thank you, brother to all. I hope Brother Ivan really comes back someday. But if indeed in the next 5 years there is no news from Brother, I have the right to make my choice."

"Yes, I will keep my promise. And I will not betray him. I hope we can be together someday. I love you Maria."

Brother Ivan hugged me tightly as a farewell greeting. It was sad to have to part like this, but fate did no one know. I put the box in my bag.

As we were being swept away in the atmosphere, a person called his name. "Van, Ivan."

I looked towards the voice, and it turned out to be Sister Kayla and Daffa.

"Van, why didn't you tell me you were leaving today? Even though we have nothing to do anymore, but I hope we can still be friends as usual. I'm sorry that you've been wrong so much."

Sister Kayla cried and she gave a small brown box to Brother Ivan. I don't know what it is.

"Sorry Daffa.. You were long in the toilet. Should I wait for you at the toilet door? Shame on me."

"Yes, yes." Daffa replied annoyed.

"Everyone, I'm so grateful to be here. Daffa, I believe you can take care of Maria. Kayla, thank you for the gift too. I can't give you anything. Sorry."

"Yes it's okay. There's another one for you from these OSIS friends."

Kayla gave one medium-sized white box to Ivan. "Open when you get there. They lost you so much, Van. We all miss you."

"Thank you all." Brother Ivan's eyes were glazed.

Sis Ivan's plane is leaving soon, and we will have to part with him. When Kayla was gone, there was only me, Daffa and Ivan. Daffa said that he wanted to go to the toilet again, his stomach was heartburn and could not be conditioned.

Stay both of us. As the situation began to quiet down, Brother Ivan pulled my hand and kissed my lips. I was surprised to get a sudden attack.. Ah, my first kiss was taken by Brother Ivan who was not my husband.

Oh God, I have sinned. Brother Ivan held my hand, so that I could not make a revolt. We closed our eyes.

Moments later Brother Ivan released his lips and also his hand that held my hand. He apologized.

"Sorry Mary, I've taken your first kiss. I can't help it because I love you and have to leave you. I'll marry you when I get back. I won't have a lover there and I can prove it."

I bow my head saying nothing. Brother Ivan held my chin so I could see his eyes. His eyes told him there were no lies. Then she said again, "I want you to be my wife Maria Maharani."

Another kiss landed on my lips. I'm just glued, why is Brother Ivan so happy to kiss me? Our status is only friends, but as if we are lovers.

Daffa came and asked me to come back soon. For the last time before Brother Ivan set out to give his sweet smile and say goodbye.

"Goodbye, baby, see you later." Brother Ivan waved his hand at me. I stared at his disappearance, and somehow came across a shadow of Indra smiling at me.

Ah, I'm a miss Indra.. But there's no way he's coming back. Unlike Ivan, even though he left but there is a possibility that he will return.

'Goodbye, brother, may we be a match.' Maria.
