Stains In Love
Do You Love Me?

Stella looked up at the sky from the balcony of her room. His body he rested on the iron trellis fence while one of his hands held a cup of coffee. Stella smiled faintly, even the bitter coffee that she usually hated now did not taste so bitter after she got the vile betrayal from Garry and Feby.

He sips his coffee while recalling the events of that night, the night he caught the affair between Garry and Feby. Her heart was breaking into pieces every time she remembered how hard they could do such a thing to her. The two people she trusted the most after Ane and her parents, managed to stab her in the back and break her heart until she didn't even know if she could collect the pieces of her heart back.

Drrt ... Drrt ....

Stella took the phone from her pajama pocket and immediately raised the call because the one who called her was Ane.

“Halo, Brother Ane,” said.

“Hello, Stella. Are you going back to the village?” ask Ane.

Stella patted her forehead. Last afternoon, he hurriedly booked a plane ticket and went to the airport after Ane left. After that, he did not have time to tell Ane at all about his return to his homeland.

“Kak Ane, sorry I forgot to tell Ane. Last time, after Ane Kak came home actually I immediately booked a ticket to go home and now I am home,” reply Stella while chuckling small.

“Gosh! Why didn't you tell me? If you know that, right, I can take you to the airport,” said Ane.

“I was in a hurry, Brother. I'm afraid Garry's coming to my boarding house. That's why I immediately booked a ticket home,” said Stella.

“So, Garry doesn't know yet that you're home?”

Stella breathed a heavy sigh. “Entah, Brother. I don't want to think about Garry right now,” he replied.

“I understand, Stella. You calm your mind first. Once your mind is clear, then you can make a decision. No hurry. Decisions taken in a hurry rarely end well,” explained Ane.

“Iya, Brother. Brother Ane take it easy. I know what I'm going to do, kok.”

“Alright, I'll hang up first. Bella is sleepy, I will read her a fairy tale book first,” Ane replied.

“Good, Brother. Tell Bella I miss her.”

In the past, Garry's warm embrace was always able to eliminate the cold he felt. However, now all that is very impossible to happen because Garry who is now no longer the Garry he used to know. There was Feby between the two of them.

“Ck! Why am I still thinking about him? It doesn't matter!” stella grumbled, scolding herself.

He went into the room and laid his body on the bed.

For hours, Stella tried to sleep. However, he could not close his eyes at all. Although drowsiness had been occupying him since earlier, still he could not sleep. On the contrary, he was now staring at the ceiling of his room with two eyes wide open.

The clock has now shown twelve o'clock at night. Stella picks up her phone from the nightstand, then looks at dozens of short messages and missed calls from Garry. Actually Stella could not bear to ignore Garry, but if Garry alone could hurt him then he must have the heart to ignore Garry.

Finding Garry calling her back, Stella put her phone next to her pillow. However, because Garry did not stop calling, Stella finally raised the call.

“Stella, where are you? Why didn't you tell me you wanted to go home?” garry said even before Stella had a voice. “You know, I was so frustrated that you couldn't be contacted. Do you think it's nice to be ignored like this?”

Garry continued to rummage indistinctly, making Stella so worried because it was obvious that the man seemed to be drunk. He was worried about Garry.

“Stella, I'm so sad. I'm disappointed in your attitude that has changed like this. Where's the Stella I used to know?”

Garry's question made the anxiety that had been felt by Stella yawn without rest. Stella recalls the reason for turning out like this because of the betrayal committed by Garry himself.

“Do you love me, Gar?” stella asked without replying to Garry's question.

“Of course I love you. I even love you so much, Stella,” reply Garry without hesitation.

Stella was silent for a moment, closing her eyes when she heard Garry's reply. Tears dripped from the corner of her eye. He smiled wryly. The love Garry gave her would never be enough to heal the wounds in her heart.

“If you really love me, then you should be able to prove what love you mean,” challenge Stella, then turn off the phone unilaterally.
