Saint Regis Block I
Amara felt his steps were very heavy, he was like eating the fruit simala kama. A difficult choice, like a thief struggling with conscience
A cold sweat drenched his nape, but with remaining courage he pressed the bell in front of Bagas' house. The bell sound let out a loud voice, the remaining courage suddenly vanished from him. Amara decides to leave quickly before Bagaskara leaves the house.
His move to leave was still lost quickly with Bagas who had already left the house and saw it.
"Mara" Bagas called her
Amara stopped her steps and turned to look at Bagas who was staring at her.
He then stepped slowly towards Bagas. After the two faced each other, Amara tried to stay calm and open the conversation
"I happened to pass by and wanted to return your camera".
Bagas expression looks flat without saying anything with the words of Amara, he looks at the cloth handbag Amara brought.
Amara handed over the cloth handbag and Bagas saw the contents of the hand bag, the pocket camera he gave to Amara 7 years ago. "I want to tell you something Gas, I'm sorry I left".
"You don't have to say that Amy" (Amy is Bagas' call to Amara)
"Please let me finish my words Gas"
"Really Amy you don't have to say anything".
"I've waited so long for this opportunity so let me finish it" Amara replied.
Bagas relented and kept quiet to listen to the words of his former lover.
Bagas still remained silent and just smiled flatly, he became a good listener for Amara and let her continue to speak without interrupting until Amara finished speaking.With a choking voice Amara again continued her words "I came here actually to tell you I'm sorry for leaving you without saying goodbye, I'm sorry for not being able to continue my relationship with you, I'm also sorry for never asking,Sorry for being like this.I'm sorry for never apologizing to you". Amara stopped her speech from feeling guilty and lowered her gaze from Bagas who this time smiled without a flat expression."Can you berate me or scold me now?I feel worse if you shut up".
Bagas smiled and said "I'm glad to meet you, how can I be angry with you Amy?".
Amara did not expect with Bagas attitude that looked normal and did not scold him, there was no grudge in his eyes all looked normal without anything happening. Though if he was in the position of Bagas he would definitely berate Bagas all-out.
"How about you make me your signature macaroni chicken soup. I've long and longed to taste it".Said Bagas. Amara nodded with a haru feeling it turns out that until this moment the mainstay cuisine was still missed by bagas.
Amara entered the Bagas house not much changed, only some furniture that has changed and paint the gray walls that were once white and the kitchen that looks modern
"you wait in the middle room, I will prepare the ingredients" said Bagas.
Amara noticed a sofa that still looks finished sleeping someone because there are blankets and pillows that are still not neatened. "Does your mother live with you Gas?"
"No, he doesn't live with me".
Amara had just sat down and turned on the TV when someone who had just walked out of Bagas' room admonished her kindly.
"Yes amorous?"
Amara became surprised and immediately stood up to see a beautiful woman reprimanding her.
"Amy I forgot to introduce Meylan' said Bagas who just came out of the kitchen.
"It's nice to meet you'Bagas always told me about you Amara. I finally got to meet a historical figure" Meylan said
"God! I must be from the dark days of Bagas" replied Amara who suddenly became awkward.
Meylan only laughed faintly at Amara's reply.
