Again feeling overwhelmed. Even Alvaro considers it a curse. If Alvaro knew Galang himself had created this curse, would this little boy hate himself?
He smiled with irony.
"Makanya Papa can not break the promise yes, so as not to be cursed." added Alvaro again.
Galang then nodded.
"alright. Papa will not break his promise. Now better get Papa's champ to rest. Get well soon, then we'll meet Mama." Answer Galang
Alvaro nodded excitedly. He closed his eyes and looked at a smile.
Galang again rubbed the head of Alvaro while looking at him gently.
''Forgive Papa, Son. It's all Papa's fault. Papa made your mother go away. Papa promised he would try to find a way to get us together again. But it doesn't seem like it's going to be easy.'' Galang
...****************...
It has been more than two months that Nayla is living her new life without Galang and Alvaro. Every day he spent taking care of the store. Sometimes he will also come to the boutique owned by his sister Melly who is in the central city just to see check and see the situation of his sister.
Recently he had opened another branch outside the city. And it makes him so busy that it treats his sadness and loneliness a little.
Nayla is grateful, her business continues to crawl up and her two younger siblings also already have their own business. He also has several partners who have invested in the system of sharing results, so that in a short period of time, he can open other new branches.
Yep. You could say his life is now quite well established. He has a decent place to live and a vehicle. It is also very decent and also a vehicle. He is also highly admired and an idol among his employees. Nayla is relieved, despite not being Galang's wife anymore, but she still lives well and is respected by people.
But Nayla does not deny that she sometimes feels empty. He enjoys each day with solitude, there is nothing to share. Since waking up in the morning, except at the boutique, Nayla always spent time alone.
Nayla lost, of course. He felt empty. His days are not perfect without Alvaro and Galang. But Nayla doesn't want to dissolve into a slump, something she has let go of, she's determined to let it go too.
If Galang and Alvaro are not meant to be with him, Nayla will try to accept it all. He will not mourn his fate again and continue to move forward.
Then Nayla remembered the figure of Sarah, her old friend. The only friend Nayla used to have, a cheerful girl who was sincere and what she was.
Nayla really misses him.
Somehow now, Nayla is eager to meet her friend. But he doesn't know where Sarah is now. His old contacts could no longer be contacted.
Nayla is determined to find him.
Sarah was the only person who cared about her first. But then Nayla disappears and never contacts her again. Nayla feels guilty and owes her an apology.
Nayla has to find the girl, no matter what.
Nayla got out of her car with a bit of hesitation. Then his feet moved towards a simple rented house that currently looks lonely.
The old rented house was Sarah's residence six years ago.
Nayla had gone to the restaurant where they worked, but Sarah had not worked there for a long time. He also went to some people he knew while he was still working with Sarah. But no one knows where Kara works now, nor do they have Sarah's contact number.
Then here comes Nayla now, she comes to Sarah's old contract, hoping that the girl still lives there. Although it is likely that Sarah has also long since left the contract, Nayla wants to make sure. That place was the last place he had in mind to find Sarah, after which he did not know where to look.
Nayla stepped closer with anxious expectation. In his heart he kept saying do'a so that his friend was still here. Then when Nayla's hand was about to knock on the door, the door suddenly opened and a girl was standing with two garbage bags in her hand.
They were both facing frozen bodies. Their eyes were both staring at each other with indescribable gazes.
Bruuk!!!
Suddenly, the trash bag that the girl was carrying slipped out of her hands, making the contents in it fall apart on the terrace floor. His mouth was slightly agape in disbelief. His eyes were not blinking.
"Nayla?" he mumbled in disbelief.
"Sara...." Nayla greets her best friend with teary eyes.
"Nayla's... Are you really Nayla?" ask again.
Nayla simply nodded with tears beginning to seep.
"Ninya..." Sarah bumped into Nayla's body and hugged her tightly without caring about the trash she stepped on. Her cry broke, Sarah sobbed while hugging Nayla until her body was shaken. Nayla also returned Sarah's embrace and cried no less loudly, They both dissolve in feelings haru.
Then the two broke each other's embrace.
Sarah watched Nayla from the tip of her foot to the tip of her head, Her hands still tightly holding Nayla's shoulders.
"You're really Nayla, my friend, right? Not a ghost?" sarah asked with a reassuring expression.
"Where is the spirit of heaven in this room, Sarah." sergeant Nayla.
Sarah was glaring.
"You disappeared for six years, Nayla. I looked for you here and there but still couldn't find you, I thought you were dead." she said, sobbing back.
"It turns out you're alive and well, not lacking anything. Once you didn't tell me and let me be confused looking for you. You bad girl!" again with angry tone.
Nayla was silent and felt guilty.
"I'm sorry.." he said.
Sarah grunted in annoyance. Then he removed his grip from Nayla's shoulder and crouched down to pick up the litter.
"Oh, get in there. I'm going to throw this trash into the garbage dump first. You have to explain everything to me. Watch out, if you lie again, end your history!" Sarah snapped at Nayla ferociously.
Nayla grimaces at the sight of Sarah.
Sarah still thinks of him as a friend. Nayla is happy to hear a fierce sentence from Sarah, because it means Sarah still cares about her as she used to. Nayla was worried that Sarah would be as formal and polite as when she treated strangers. And it turned out that his worry was not happening, Nayla was really relieved.
Then Sarah quickly put back the garbage that she had dropped, then brought it to the garbage dump for disposal.
Nayla obeys the words of Sarah, who tells her to go inside. He also sat in the guest chair while observing the entire room carefully.
Nothing has changed. The atmosphere of Sarah's contract is still the same as Six years ago, as if this room does not experience a change of time.
Nayla's heart slowly warmed. Comfort immediately spread to his body and mind. Meeting Sarah made it seem to go back to the so-called 'house'. Nayla realized that Sarah was the real family for her besides her two sisters.
Nayla would scold him mercilessly if he made a mistake. But on the other hand, Nayla is also the only person who cares deeply about her when she is in trouble.Sarah who always nagged her as well as sarah who was willing to do anything to help her.
That was their friendship first. Warm and sincere. Nayla is grateful to be given the chance to meet again.
Sarah was still staring at Nayla with an unpredictable gaze, Her face showing more than one expression. Angry, sad, and disappointed. That feeling was now mixed in his heart.
Nayla has recounted the reason for her disappearance Six years ago. And what Sarah just heard really took her by surprise.
Her best friend was raped and then forced to marry and disappear afterwards because she was already pregnant. Although of course Nayla did not mention the identity of the man who impregnated her.
Sarah is angry at the man who has forcibly snatched away Nayla's honor. Then he was disappointed in Nayla because Nayla did not tell Sarah all her troubles. Sarah feels that Nayla doesn't trust her and doesn't consider her a friend.
"I suspected something was wrong with you then. But you're really mean because you don't trust me. If you tell me, even though I can't help much, at least we can face that jerk together." Sarah then said with a sigh.
Nayla was still silent and lowered her head.
"I'm sorry.." he said.
"You know Nayla, when you disappeared, I was really like a crazy person. At night I was looking for you. To the extent that I was fired from the restaurant we used to work at because I didn't go to work often." Sarah looked angry and upset.
"Even I asked the police for help. Every day down the river that used to be a place for people to kill themselves, afraid if in fact you turned out to have killed yourself. And you know the craziest thing "Sarah paused for a moment and looked at Nayla.
Nayla could only stand still and look back at Sarah with question marks.
"Every time a young woman's body is found, whether in the city or out of town, I will come there to see it. I want to make sure that the dead are not you. I really hope you're alive and coming back. I'm so scared, Nayla.... I don't want to lose my best friend." Sarah was crying again. This time it sounded sad.
Nayla could only lower her head while crying.
"I'm sorry, Sarah. I am guilty.... I don't think about how you are doing with my decision to leave secretly. But really back then I had no choice. I can't get you involved because I think it's better." Nay said as he sobbed.
"Now you can scold me as much. You can also hit me. But don't cut ties with me, Sarah. You're my only friend and family besides my two sisters." continued Nayla
Friend is a figure who is always there in joy and sorrow, who does not hesitate to extend help. In friendship there will surely appear small ripples such as strife. However, the hostility will not take long to get back together soon.
