True Love
Stay

What an exhausting day. Hiro's face was so clearly hinting at that.

"have you come home?" my broom

"yes, a lot of work today" Hiro replied as he walked to the room

"go take a bath. I'll warm up dinner" I took a thousand steps towards the kitchen

.

.

.

Nowow. We both sat at the dinner table. Intentionally not having dinner before. I want to eat with Hiro.

fix things bit by bit...

"don't wait for me for dinner, or you'll get sick" Hiro asked

"it's okay, I just want to eat with you"

"really?"

"yes"

"we'll have dinner at the restaurant tomorrow"

"really? in what order?"

"i want to talk about something serious"

"seriously? why not now? why wait for tomorrow?"

"i still have to prepare my mind"

whahuh?

mentally prepared?

what exactly does Hiro want to talk about?

I just want us to start over

whatwant?

The day awaited. I was busy standing in front of the mirror. Giving my best performance. Hope our relationship will improve after tonight.

tok tok tok tok

The sound of knocking on the door. I rushed out. It was confirmed that it was Hiro.

Hiro's eyes seemed round when he saw me emerge from behind the door. His face flushed slightly until he finally turned his eyes. I was very happy with his reaction.

"you're beautiful tonight" Hiro praised as he invited me to sit down

"thank you" my face flushed

"just pick the menu. I'm following you"

Not long after the waiter came. I chose some of Hiro's favorite menus as well. Then the waiter left.

"what do you want to say?" I was curious

"we eat first?" Hiro asked back

"i'll die of curiosity if I wait to finish eating"

"alright"

Hiro took a few deep breaths. It takes a lot of courage.

will he declare love?

"Esta..we just end this marriage. anyway you never loved me before. You can chase after the man you love after this. I'll set you free"

a.what?

end marriage?

he asked me to get a divorce?

what joke is this!?

I was preparing myself to open a new page

and what did you give?

"what...what are you saying Hiro?"

"i know the man you love is Rico"

"but our marriage"

"it's okay.I'm quite happy with that status, but you also deserve to be happy with the person you love"

"wait. I don't understand. You gave up on me? just like?"

"it's not so. It's been over 3 years and you showed me my position for you. It's fine. I'll always be your protector"

"wait"

"sorry. I don't mean to confuse you. I have to leave immediately. there's a business trip for one week. after that we'll go to the civil records office"

Hiro standing. Then walk away just like that. Even without looking at me. The surprise that even defeated the Hiroshima bomb.

is this April mop?

but it's June...

It's been a few days since dinner. Feeling fucked. I had no intention of leaving the room. Even the prepared food was lazy to touch it.

I don't know if I should be happy or sad.

Wholeheartedly resolved to open my heart with Hiro. But..why is it like this?

"Hiro?" lirih I called her name, hoping she was sympathetic and asked how I was doing

"do I bother you? you seem to be sleeping"

"yes" I was disappointed.even she didn't notice the difference in my tone

"forgive me again. My return is postponed"

thank goodness, there is at least a little time stalling this divorce.

"the file is ready.if you meet Richard he will give us our divorce papers.anytime you have time"

Glug

*are you crazy!

what exactly do you want Hiro

don't you know how bad my mood was after that night?

you think I'm happy with the divorce you're talking about?

.

.

want to feel like pulling your hair so that strange thoughts fall out of your head

.

.

Hiro don't go

please just....

maintain me*...

"enjoy your time.You can pursue your love at any time"

Hmh!

.

.

.

Meanwhile, in another part of the earth. With a very sad view outside the window. Hiro took a deep breath.

I'm sorry

I didn't even have the courage to meet you

it'll be hard to let you go if I see your face

it's for your happiness, Esta

I know what we did before was wrong

I took advantage of your situation at the time

ii'm sorry...

"Sir..are you okay?" ask Henry Hiro's assistant

"i'm fine" replied Hiro Lirih

"oh yes, Miss Esta's bodyguard reported that she did not leave the room for a few days, nor did she want to eat"

"what?"

what exactly are you doing Esta? don't hurt yourself

isn't he the man you love?

why is your attitude like this?

it's gonna be harder for me to let you go...

.

A month has passed. Time goes by very fast. But until now. Hiro never showed his nose in front of me. Even in this town. Makes me feel angry and miss. For the first time.

he doesn't even call me anymore

what am I supposed to do?

I am a widow now

Aye!

An idea suddenly flashed through my mind.

is not this his will

I'm gonna really go see Rico and everything's gonna be done

you must be happy that I did this, Hiro

A suitcase and a passport. I intend to catch up with Rico. Just like what Hiro wanted.

I was really on the plane. Fly into the country where Rico is chasing his dreams. He must have been very surprised.

Doctor Nina greeted me at the airport. His face is so bright. It was as if he was welcoming his own daughter.

I even forgot about Nina's father and doctor at the lake

"what wind brought you here. Esta?" ask Dr. Nina while hugging me

"just want to get some fresh air" I replied

"did your father know.you came here?" he asked, opening the car door, I shook my head

"later I'll call him"

Instantly I remembered the relationship between Nina's father and doctor. Very complex. Is this the real truth?

"i know you must be confused, I'll tell you everything I know" Nina said, smiling at me
