Little Story About You
CHAPTER 1: THE CONFESSION OF LOVE
The noise coming from the bedroom door suddenly woke Abel from his sleep at six o'clock a little less this morning. Abel pulled the blanket over rather reluctantly as the sound from the door of his room grew more and more. With a lazy step towards the door of the room, Abel opened the door, immediately the girl was surprised until she was dumbfounded to the back feeling a strong enough impact from someone in front of her.
“Abeeell's. I finally got it with Ray.”
Abel. Something urgent matter forcibly slipped into Abel's heart for a moment. Still frozen, all he felt was a shock to his body from the carefree embrace of the girl in front of him at this moment. Slowly the arms of the two unraveled and Abel's gaze was still empty.
“Lo hear me not anyway, Bel?”
Abel regained consciousness after feeling his face cupped. The girl tried to develop a smile, faint, but full of meaning that was not conveyed by words. Abel could only feel the next thing, after he was dragged forcibly onto the bed, sitting on the edge.
“Tante Arini love me blessing directly when brother Ray frankly, he ngaku already shot me.”A red tinge and a happy hue emanated on that face, making Abel in the midst of his pain even able to hide the hope that was finally empty within him.
Cousin, Cindy.
“Congratulations yes. How can? How's the story?”Abel forced a smile and voice to keep sounding normal. Abel looked at the girl before him at this moment, who was instantly grasping tightly onto his hand.
“Inget wedding time for Afreni?”
“Ooh.” Abel nodded.
“Gue will be asked to be his bridesmaid.”
“Iya I remember kok.” Abel smiled faintly, for he was not chosen to be that part. He and his parents were just guests that day. With Cindy and the girls parents, they are treated like part of the family by the bride's family.
“That day I was betrothed to the same brother Ray.”
“That. Pantes. So that day was the beginning.” Abel nodded weakly.
“We have promised. Anyone becomes the owner of Ray's first brother. One of us should be able to accept reality.”
Abel nodded back. “Yaudah please.” The girl also acted indifferently. “Gue also no longer likes the same brother Ray. It's a while back.” He rose from the edge of the bed, to the table beside the head of his bed, to gulp some water there, so that his interlocutor was behind him. I meant to cover up his feelings.
“Gue has plans today with brother Ray.” Cindy's words just stopped Abel's bustle. The girl put her glass of water back, but it escaped her attention, until it fell down, spilling its contents and the shard shattered into pieces scattered on the floor.
Cindy stood up for a moment. He approached and looked at Abel anxiously.
“Yes for Abel! You're all right?” Cindy made sure of her cousin. The girl looked at the astonished attitude of Abel. He seemed to have just realized the great influence of his words to Abel about his relationship with Ray. “Lo must be shocked. Sori yes. But brother Ray has been assertive, he said, he does not have any feelings for you, other than brother or friend.” Cindy said with a regretful look and a soft voice.
Abel held desperately the pain that was seeping into his chest and smashing into his inner turmoil. He also hid the feeling of unwavering disappointment in his heart at this moment. Ray and Cindy have destroyed the feelings of affection within him simultaneously. Putting their feelings aside for themselves. He doesn't think he's an important part of them anymore. It ignited the anger and hate in him on those two people right now.
“What plan?” Abel turned to look at Cindy. He tried desperately to stay focused on the one figure in front of him.
“Lo still angry with me?” ask Cindy carefully.
“Long if I said I wasn't angry. Yaudah went with Ray. Wait for lo.”
Cindy's face turned bright with Abel's usual reaction. Without any suspicion anymore. “Concidentally, brother Ray also wants you to come.”
Abel surprised. He was quiet long enough. Just responded.
“Ngak ah. I'm kind of a mosquito repellent again.” His words clearly looked irritated.
“Cute by yuk?” Cindy seduced Abel to come along. Shaking the girl's arm with a smile. “Pliiisss.”
Abel also sighed. Being unbearable. “Judah. Where?”
“Now. We are waiting in the living room.”
Both Abel's eyebrows raised. Bummer. “Kak Ray is also already below?”
“Udah.” Cindy patted the back of Abel's hand.
“Buruan.” He said, and came out of Abel's room.
Cindy tears Abel's eyes simultaneously on her face. Since then he had been holding the pain desperately in front of his cousin. Abel immediately wiped away her tears which was a form of pain and disappointment in her heart on one man outside, or even both.
Ray was a friend of Junior High School and High School and a neighbor of Abel. The man was close to Abel and Cindy since the age of adolescence. The three are friends together despite Ray's age of two years above the two girls. The closeness of the three made them for years harbour special feelings between men and women. Although Abel is aware, Ray's attention is only focused on Cindy completely since long ago, ten years ago. But Abel never seemed to realize if in the end the two made the decision to become lovers. Leaving him alone with a hollow feeling in his heart. Losing cousin, friend, best friend, sister, and first love in her heart. At once broke Abel's dreams and dreams while getting to know Ray.
***
Abel regrets his decision!
He walked and stepped alone ten steps behind Ray and Cindy who were busy talking and joking during the trip even to arrive at the tourist park. The girl looked at the two people in front of her at this moment, as if intentionally destroying herself deeper and deeper, ignoring her ever-worsening feelings.
Her tears welled up her eyes until they fell slowly over her face. The girl immediately erases before Ray and Cindy realize her chaotic circumstances. Grasped tightly on his sling bag rope, as soon as his gaze was fixed on the ice cream merchant not far in front of him, he hurriedly pulled over to buy, on purpose, let Ray and Cindy continue on their own path without him. If indeed his presence was unwanted, then he would go willingly. Stay away if it's better.
“Es the cream one, Sir.” Abel orders while making sure Ray and Cindy keep going, deliberately making herself lag far behind. He was tired of having to be the last one between the two. He also did not want the two of them to know his sad feelings in the face of the bitter reality in front of him at this moment.
“Cokelat.” Answer's short. Just point it at the ice cream box.
“This is the ice cream, Neng.” The merchant offered to Abel.
Abel receives ice cream and hands over the money without asking for change. The girl instead headed down the opposite path to Ray and Cindy in a hasty step, but after feeling quite far away, a single voice from in front of her immediately stopped her footsteps suddenly. Abel Terenak's.
“Abel, what do you want? Why do you behave like children do not want gini? ” sounds disappointed from Ray's voice. Staring at him.
Abel tried to calmly look at Ray and Cindy who had been standing side by side in front of him a few steps. Abel is aware that his attitude is childish, but who is the girl who is able to see the man she likes with other girls?
“Lo angry with us right?” cindy's voice rattled, piercing right where Abel kept someone who never looked at her once.
Abel gave a small smile until suddenly so laugh, sounding a bit forced indeed. “Buy ice cream, but don't know you're on the road.” Said reasoned.
“Long.” Ray immediately denied the sharp reason Abel just now.
Abel's laughter stopped for a moment. The stiffened sharpness on Ray's face, made Abel well aware, the atmosphere had turned tense. Highlight the eyes of the man looked disappointed and angry at Abel's behavior without hesitation. Making Abel silent no longer dare to make his voice a decibel.
Cindy pulls Ray's arm and joins Abel's hand after they face each other. With her own feelings aside, Cindy allows Ray and Abel to come together. His eyes said he did not want to be selfish to let his cousin suffer. He enjoys being with Ray.
“You can both. I'm okay.” A single smile was imprinted on Cindy's lips, and even the sound of her shakes, it wasn't hard for Ray and Abel to catch her.
Suddenly Abel pulled his hand, looking at Cindy furiously. “What do you mean?!” abel's voice is rising.
“Gue know you love Brother Ray.” Cindy said in a weak voice and looked at Ray who was frozen looking at her.
“No need to know.” Reply Abel is full of pressure.
“Gue. We used to fuck each other.” Cindy too.
Abel's eyes blocked, implying the anger within him to Cindy. But his voice was trembling, holding back the crying. “Lo is the same as me. As if I were a beggar of love, if not for lo, brother Ray would not turn away. That's your goal, right?” the girl pressed down on every word spoken to Cindy, along with a clear layer of force-piercing gushing out from her eyeballs.
“Gue sincere.”
“Udah enough. I went.” Abel directly penetrated through the remaining distance between Ray and Cindy, leaving the two silenced in their place. Throwing the origin of the ice cream in his hand. Resisting the emotional turmoil of the humiliation Cindy had done to him, right in front of Ray, the man she loved. Abel felt so low because he indirectly conveyed to Ray, if he harbored unusual feelings for the man.
The sound of Abel's cry drowned out the sound of his car engine and vehicles passing by on the surrounding highway. The tears of disappointment, anger, hatred and all the emotional turmoil that seethed from within him. Tearing it apart, killing his self-sufficiency that persisted due to his suffering.
Abel wiped away the tears in his face with the back of his hand, his shoulders shaking and there was no strength for his hands to hold the steering wheel. Making it even accidentally slammed the steering wheel to the left to cause a sharp squeaking sound from the tire, in a split second, the front of the car had hit the road divider. Abel could still feel his body limp, his vision slowly blurring and ending in darkness.
