A Night Without Stars
episode 5's


There has been no word from Aruna for two days since that day. I was actually very anxious thinking about Aruna but I was confused as to what to say. How do I apologize?! Actually, the arrival of Ares made a cloudy situation, but I was the most wrong because I could not be assertive.


“Ta, many office people who talk to you, because at that time Ares made an event for you,” said Reza while sitting next to my work desk.


“Udah know. Let alone. How about it again. Later also bosen himself,” replied I am not excited.


“Why your face is tangled so, should seneng dong guy pujaan you have returned,” said Reza astonished.


“I still feel guilty about Aruna. For now he has nothing to call me.”


“So who does Nanta like?” ask Reza.


“No idea, I'm happy to see Ares. I also can't wait to see Ares again, but I can't stop thinking about Aruna, I feel guilty too.”


“Yes surely you feel bad with Aruna has long since, where deket again you are the same him. It was just a feeling of affection for me, Nanta lost a friend who is usually on the side of Nanta continues.”


On Friday at five o'clock after work I, Laras, Reza without Rani because Rani is married so can not hang out too often, go to eat to our favorite place in Braga.


“Yes, on the one hand I am happy because I can get better with Ares, but on the other hand I do not have the heart with Aruna,” I explained when the three of us were sitting casually in the cafe.


“Yes that means you're just kasian doang Ta,” explained Reza.


“Emmm, so yes,” I'm not sure.


“Yes is not good with Aruna away from Nanta so be free to connect with Ares,” said Reza.


“No can do Za,” argue Quickly. “In the heart of Nanta there is something that obstructs, so it must be straightened first so that it is calm,” explained Laras.


Around seven o'clock we were about to get out of the cafe but something caught my attention so I stopped my steps.


“Aruna!!!” my yelling.


He looked at me. “What's up?” he walked up to me as if nothing had ever happened.


“Why are you avoiding me?” ask me bravely.


Aruna looked up at his friend who was behind him, then said, “Don, you go first!”


“Oke Runa,” says to his friend.


Laras and Reza say goodbye to me to go home first.


“Yuk Ta, we should obrolin in a better place!”


I followed him walking outside the cafe. It just so happened that I thought I could meet Aruna. O yes I remember this place is close to Aruna's workplace.


But in retrospect, I dared to call Aruna, so I felt ashamed.


After arriving at a quiet place, Aruna stopped her footsteps beside the street lamp in the style of renaissance. He stood in front of me quietly waiting for me to speak.


“Aruna, why avoid me like that. Aruna really is not what you imagine. That day I did go with Ares but it was because he forced, I think by hearing his explanation will end everything~” I have not had time to finish my words forced to be stopped by Aruna. He gently brushed my bangs and closed his eyes and kissed me gently on my forehead.


“I know Nanta is a good woman, I stayed away from Nanta not because I hate Nanta, but because I know Ares is the man Nanta loves, which I can rob Nanta of his happiness. I just haven't been able to see the person I love with anyone else,” Aruna spoke softly.


Tears let me break out, wet my cheeks. Aruna rubbed my hair while giving a smile even though in her heart full of sadness for having to leave the woman she loved. “Udah Ta don't cry,” he said while wiping away the tears on my cheek. “Peach yourself well ya!” the last message from Aruna before she kissed me on my forehead once more longer than the first, I closed my eyes feeling the sadness felt all over my body. Then he just walked away. My chest tightened with the tears that forced out of my eyes, as I looked at Aruna's back that was getting away. It's getting further out of my reach. Never thought I would end up like this. During college, Aruna and I were good friends until college, and Aruna was accepted to work and she expressed her feelings for me but I was not ready. All this time I only considered him a friend, so it kept me away from Aruna. Until after my first meeting with Ares that left a wound in the heart was treated by Aruna. Never imagined that my breakup with Aruna would be this painful.
