Between Two Love
Episodes 18.
Let's say that I'm in a town that's foreign to me. I was assigned to be here for 1 month. Away from my parents and my best friend Ana. This time I was assigned with Rudi. Thank goodness there are friends here.
" hello Rey, you haven't been able to see how you're doing, are you?" ask my mom over the phone
" yes my mother is fine" I replied tired after a long journey
" i rest first Mom is tired" I said then Mom hung up
I have to prepare everything to start activities here tomorrow. I have to adapt to the surroundings. I started to feel hungry I intended to go for food.
" Where is Rey going to take me?" Rudi from a distance seemed to run towards me
" want to eat Rud" I replied as I stopped
" i'll come with you later you're gone"
I just smiled and continued on my way to the restaurant.
Almost all of his traits and attitude were the same as Riko's. Every time I see him I always remember him. Like I saw Riko in Rudi's body.
He took my hand towards the restaurant that happened to be not far from there. I felt something different when he took my hand.
" what do you want to order Rey?
"whatever it is"
After we finished eating we did not go straight home because we headed to a small park there. In this city is quite quiet me and Rudi traced the path that began to darken. We stopped at a park. Small beautiful and neat.
" here sit" Rudi said as he cleaned the seat
" it's so quiet here so different in our place?" say
Rudi nodded "Rey you haven't answered any questions from me?"
I try to find another topic every time he asks about my feelings. I still can't accept it because maybe I still can't forget Riko and my bad events. It feels like to start a new relationship I have to be completely ready. For now I am still traumatized.
" helloooo Rey is dumb?"
Rudi broke my daydream
" i. i. i. I'm sorry" I replied in shock
I could feel his heart being disappointed, his gaze was different and began to mute.
" yaudah we just rest tomorrow start a new activity here" he said while pulling me home
**********
Today is the first day of my service here. It feels so good to be in a new place. There was a seminar from several pediatricians. There I met one of Raffi's coworkers by his name. He is a very good doctor.
" know me Raffi" while extending his hand after the seminar was over
I just smiled and shook his hand.
Looking from a distance Rudi was watching me. I also started to get nervous when I saw it.
" i'm Reyna" I answered
" are you single?" ask me
" yes "my answer shook my head
...He smiled and asked for my phone number. We also share numbers, for me there are no thoughts of sorts because we are coworkers....
...****************...
Rudipun immediately met me at my workplace.
" Rey who was that guy?"
I just smiled not to answer
" hey asked even a smile" he said with a gloomy face
" why the hell is Rud you jealous?" much
" yes" he answered, hiding his feelings
" pain is hidden, let alone jealous" I said
He tried to cover his reddened face. I immediately melted the atmosphere.
" Rud you're good looking why not try to find another girl?" much
" do you think loving someone is as easy as turning your palm?" he answered while approaching me
I watched his face carefully.
" if I'm handsome, why don't you want to be with me?"
" it's not Rud's time yet" I replied
" wait what else?"
" wait for fate to unite us, I still can't forget my bad events I'm still afraid of Rud" I replied
" i don't mean Rey I'll always be waiting for you" he said in my ear
...**********...
dret dret dreeetttt
suddenly I heard the vibration of my phone, I saw it. I saw Mom calling me. I immediately picked it up
" yes, Mom "
inaudible mother's voice that was heard was just her sobs.
" what's wrong, ma'am?" I was in a panic
" you're home now, Rey?"
" why Ma?" I was scared to cry too
" i'll tell you at home" replied the mother, sobbing.
I put my clothes on and rushed home. Rudi panicked to see me and drove me home.
During the journey I kept crying.
" you have calmed down Rey" said Rudi
I just cried not to answer.
The journey was long and I was panicking.
" when we get to Rud's journey is still a long way away I'm afraid something will happen to you" I said
" you're patient, we'll be there soon"
...****************...
When I got home I saw a lot of people there, I ran and cried I saw my mom crying. He had an accident and is dead. Mom hugged her body and I cried screaming hugging her body.
" Papaaaakkkkkk don't leave me"
Mom then hugged me tightly we cried. I don't know what else is going on with me. After my lover now, my father also left me. It was so heavy to feel it.
Rudi who was sitting next to me also shed her tears. He tried to calm me down. My body is weak and feels nothing. I fainted for a long time. I was really shaken at the time.
I woke up from my fainting and I saw Mom and Rudi beside me.
" mom ..." I cried
" we must be sincere, son" said the mother
" why so soon Mom I haven't shown my success" I said
" you have succeeded, my father is proud of you" he said
I keep shedding my tears, I still do not expect one by one people I love to leave me.
" it's Rey you who are patient" said Rudi
I'm shaking my head
He said goodbye to go home.
...****************...
"i'm sure you've gone home Rud?"
" yes, Mr. Reyna was in an accident and died so I brought him home"
"innalilahi wainailaihi rojiun anterin mama there huh Rud"
" yes ma "
Rudi's family also decided to go home. His family was very polite to me. Compared to Riko's family who never thought I existed. It feels so good to see them.
Mom talked about our relationship. I also began to be awkward with the discussion especially with the departure of the Father.
" you are patient Rey for this disaster" said his mother Rudi to me
" yes Aunt thank you" I replied softly
They immediately left my house. I feel very appreciated with his family. That fate is undeniable. When I saw them it felt like I wanted to get in between them.
Me and Mom are now living together, we try to pass this ordeal sincerely even though it feels very heavy. But we will be strong to live it strong.
" want the ideals of Mother is only one that you have not yet realized"
" what's Ma?"
" you open your heart and get married"
Mother's words made me think and be silent.
