A beautiful woman stared at the birthday cake with a blank look. This he always did for five consecutive years in the same month and date. One hope and the same prayer, he always said to God. Wileen, this one woman who has never forgotten the figure of her best friend so far. In fact he always remembered the day of Albern's birth and always celebrated alone in silence without any figure of Albern beside him.
"Happy birthday to you, Al! wish you all the best, the best prayer I always say to God for you. May the Lord grant my prayers and also my hope to bring you back beside me. I miss you, where are you? why did you disappear? have we not promised to always be together both in times of joy and sorrow. Where are you, Al? I didn't even know you were alive or gone."
The flashback
"Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday,, happy birthday Albern,, happy birthday."
"Come, Al! Make a wish, desire what you want right now" said Wileen.
Albern closed his eyes as he offered the prayers and hopes he knew for himself. Because Albern's prayers and hopes have always remained the same, which is to open Wileen's heart to him. Because Albern loved and loved Wileen more than his affection and love as a friend.
"My prayers and hopes remain the same, Lord! I hope to be with Wileen until death do us part. Can we get out of the friendship zone to be lovers, Lord?" albern said in his heart.
"So serious anyway? may you know what your prayers and hopes are?" ask Wileen.
"The secret between me and God" Albern replied as his index finger reached over Wileen's nose.
"Funny spy, since when did you play secrets with me?" his protest.
"Later, if God granted my prayers and wishes, you would be the first to know."
"Really?"
"Yes, now we cut the cake first, huh? I want you to cut up and your first bribe to me then it's my turn to bribe you."
"Duh, how come we're exactly gini-dating guys, anyway? but no papa, because you are a friend of the taste of a girlfriend," said Wileen made Albern wrong.
They both ended up bribing each other, one plate and one spoon for both. Whatever the two of them did was like a very romantic pair of lovers. Maybe the people out there think they're lovers.
Flashback off
Wileen wept at the candle still burning, hoping that Albern would be by her side to blow it. But hope is just hope and the reality of hope is again disappointing. Wileen finally blew out the candle on the cake in the shape of a number 26.
Tears still dripped nonstop, even he himself who would spend the cake in front of him without wanting to share it with others. That's all he does every year in the same month and day.
Wileen has always been aloof remembering her happy time with Albern. Sometimes he smiled and even laughed when remembering the ignorant and silly attitude that Albern had done. But it always ends in tears and sadness when it turns out all that is just a little memory.
Wileen's parents are very worried about the strange attitude of her youngest daughter. Even Wileen's parents had intended to take Wileen to a psychologist, for fear of Wileen why.
Wileen was still pensive to imagine Albern's change since he was made with Sain. Wileen admits she forgot Albern. The time he previously spent with Albern has been reduced since Wileen became a friend of Sain.
Although Albern always behaved as if he was fine-fine. But Wileen actually felt there was something different from Albern's attitude.
A month and two when Wileen and Sain were dating, Albern was seemingly mediocre. But after that, his best friend disappeared without saying anything else. From that moment on, Albern disappeared as if swallowed by the earth.
Wileen felt very lost, although there was still Sain nearby. But Sain is not Albern, they are both different and Wileen admits Albern is more comfortable.
All this time Wileen and Albern have always been herself. No words to maintain the image, no words must behave and look perfect. Because with Albern, Wileen was able to find her true identity. Unlike when Wileen with Sain who always looks perfect. Honestly, Wileen feels uncomfortable if you have to equate the lifestyle of Sain which is said to be too luxurious.
Two years Wileen tried to have a relationship with Sain. But in the last year, their relationship finally foundered because Wileen was no longer strong following the lifestyle of science. Wileen ended her relationship with Sain. At first Sain refused, but Wileen remained adamant about separating.
Who would have thought, until now Sain always followed wherever Wileen was. Sain was always there for Wileen, hoping that Wileen would come back to him. Even in the eyes of the public, many fans think they are back or commonly said old love blooms back. Some even think they are intentionally backstreet.
Actually Wileen is very uncomfortable if Sain always follows him. Even Wileen always said in public that her status is now single. But it is useless, because Sain always makes the public think they deliberately do not publish the relationship.
Tired, of course Wileen is very tired of all this. Wileen desperately needs Albern by her side. Because he's the only one Wileen needs all along.
Wileen longs to be her old self, Wileen longs for all her memories with Albern. Up to the whole room Wileen had nothing but to do with Albern.
The gifts Albern kept neatly stored in a special closet. Even Wileen already resembles an Albern fanatic. Even the photos when they SMA still lined up neatly on the walls of his room.
How Wileen could forget Albern, if his entire room was filled with things about Albern. Without him knowing all this time, Wileen actually loved Albern too. But Wileen always denied it, every taste of it came. Because both Wileen and Albern had promised there would be no love between their friendships. But back to, the soul mate of someone no one knows.
They both felt the same love, but neither Wileen nor Albern knew their feelings. Because they are bound by their own words.
"There is no love between friendships."
It was those words that always made them reluctant to go forward and eventually chose to retreat. Because neither Wileen nor Albern wanted their friendship to be ruined just out of love.
