THE STORY OF HEROES AND DEMONS
Prologues

Singing the song 'Peace' from a local girl group, women in white veils danced on stage, with a tambourine from goat skin that was loudly asked for forgiveness. Move forward, backward, left, right and turn. They are like members of PKK mothers who do Poco-Poco gymnastics at weddings.

"Greetings to the invited guests of the bride and groom, welcome to the wedding reception of master Andrea Dovizioso S.H and miss Rea Ardiana, please enjoy the dishes available." The MCs's voice resounded clearly on the reception building's speakers.

Among the crowd everyone was full of happiness, at that time, I just sat down glumly in the corner of the room alone, even with the sweet cake still I chewed, glittering eyes wanting to cry holding the bitter that was in the throat.

This is where right now, the wedding of a woman I've loved for five years, and ended up on top with someone else. This is a reality that must be accepted, though few wish that all was just a lie.

Sitting quietly between a piece of cake, mineral water, invitation cards and the happiness of a woman I can't have. I realized that there was no hope after fighting hard for Rea's happiness. And now I am nothing more than an invited guest.

Recalling the seven years of love stories I have fought becomes a remnant of past memories. A teddy bear that shows how much I feel for Rea. Valentine chocolates I've been preparing since August. Or I practice vocals because Rea loves karaoke.

Everything I have given is now a piece of garbage and ready to be recycled.

I seem to provide, as a man, or as a man....

To say that ideals are important things to realize, is all just nonsense. I tried hard at work but my love ended up in someone else's lap.

I just want the future of both of us to be better. But it's all over....

'What's wrong...'

'I or this world...'

Everyone smiles happily, they laugh about the past, or bring their adorable wives and children.

As for myself, Shut up, sit down and enjoy a sweet cake but not swallow, it tastes bitter, really bitter, when it comes to accepting the fact that Rea left me to marry someone else.

"It's lucky that the man named Andrea, the two of us who used to fight to date Rea, now ended up hopeless."

"Do you know, we're both like fools running all the way to the finish line, and there, at the end of the road, the champion is neither me nor you, but someone else."

Between me and Noe were two losers who ended up in the same place, only I still had time to hold Rea even though it was only Five years .

I feel trapped at the crossroads of time, when people are walking into the future, I am alone trapped without knowing where to go. On a path called life, getting lost, repeating the loneliness of my own life, when love gives two answers, between clapping or clapping one hand. I have lost a hand that can always be held tightly.

"Hope all the invited guests to congratulate the bride and groom."

Heartbeats are getting irregular, I feel afraid to show my face in front of Rea's eyes, even I can imagine how happy he is smiling, while I do not know what to come here for.

She's a beautiful woman who made me fall in love, ah .... I'm really ashamed to admit it, the shadows about him are still lingering in the memory.

It was as if just yesterday she was grasping my hand, a touch of soft skin, and a kiss of very charming pink lips.

The smell of perfume is like a flower

I can't just forget it....

Love is cruel, I want to leave this place and disappear for good.

That promise, the promise he said when it rained in February, I remembered every word of his lips.

"Hey, if we get married later, I want to have three children with you."

What is it?, the five years I dated, everything about him I knew, He realized, if I was not a representative of the people who could only promise and forget.

But why?, there was another ring that was coiled around the ring finger and not from me, while I sat on the bench, watching him smile. I'm sick, I'm envious, I'm angry, I'm ashamed, I'm stupid, I'm who?, I ?....

"Ryan, Ryan.... Hurry up, Rea won't wait for you to stand there, there are still many guests who want to congratulate you."

That's right, this is the last point where I have to be willing to let Rea go from my miserable life.

I'm not who he is now, he's with the man, the man who dares to make sure promises to make him happy.

Unlike me who is this loser, if indeed love can make him live, then what good are people selling rice.

If winning love makes everything happy, why am I working so hard for her.

I am a fool, a fool, until whenever I am a fool who feels stupid for admitting myself to be just a fool.

These footsteps were very heavy, to just stand up and congratulate him, I wanted to leave here, but I was a man, at least, congratulating is not wrong.

Even though I think so ...

One last step before I see it, I pray, if the meteor shower comes, then it falls and destroys this marriage. At least many people say that the prayers of the persecuted are always answered, I assume, I am one of them.

But it's definitely not possible, as the weather forecast says that it's a sunny day, lucky for any couple to date in the park.

"Rea congratulations, on your marriage."

I really don't understand why I congratulated her, wouldn't it be better to say 'If you have plans for divorce, just call me', that's better.

Pretending to smile like a fool, my heart has been broken since receiving their wedding invitations.

"Ryan I...."

"I see, you can't wait that long. I'm fine, you deserve to find your own happiness."

She was extremely beautiful, even the angel that descended from the sky was still like a doormat cloth if juxtaposed with Rea. Those beautiful eyes, I could no longer look at her, the dimples on her cheeks, I could no longer touch that, and Rea's smile, was no longer mine.

What's best of all this, nothing. There was nothing I expected with Rea's happiness, except a gift of sovenir in the form of a glass containing a photo of the two of them.

I'll wipe the man's face and I'll change it with my own picture.

It's unfortunate that my fate, I'm envious, very envious, if only all this was a dream, I want to wake up and forget it.

I really became a pathetic man.

On the way home, walking away like a dazed person, unable to distinguish the colors of red and green, continued to set foot until the glare of light came from the side.

"Will I die ?.... Whatever, I never thought I was happy now... It would all be a lot easier, I wouldn't have to spend money to buy a rope and hang my neck on a mango tree, at least my family would be compensated from accident insurance, this is a little better. I don't want to regret."

My view turned blurry...

I can see people crowding around, do they think I'm a spectacle, please don't take pictures, I'm ashamed.

It was Rea, he came !!?. But I can't hear what he's saying.

Her white wedding dress is dirty with red. 'ahhh why she cries, it must not, a bride must smile.'

I know that all this is going to end, I tried to wipe her tears.... Just briefly.
