Stains In Love
Go away

Feby put his clothes in his suitcase. The woman could no longer stay there and struggled with adversity. He has lost everything now. Starting from his dream to marry Garry, his best friend, to his job. Now, what else could Feby expect? Right, there's no.

“I can't if I have to live around people who hate me,” murmured Feby while wiping his tears.

Getting scorn and innuendo from various parties in the real world and social media make Feby's guts squeamish. Before he loses his mind, Feby decides to leave.

The woman intends to go far away from Jakarta. He just booked a flight tonight. He hurriedly cleaned up his things and put them in a suitcase.

His activities are halted when he sees a photo of himself, Stella, and Garry. Feby's eyes stared at the picture. Their friendship used to be very close. But now everything has been destroyed and can never be repaired again.

“You have ruined my life!” exciting Feby.

Despite knowing everything also happened because of his mistake, but Feby still blamed Garry and Stella for what happened to him.

Feby took the photo, then tore it up into small pieces. Tears flowed again on her cheeks.   He realizes he's wrong, but he also thinks he's the victim in their story. If Garry hadn't chosen Stella, she might be happy right now. It was a pity that Feby was clapping his hands and now he had to cry bitterly because not only had he lost his best friend, he had also lost his beloved figure.

“Why didn't you ever pick me, Gar? Why would you prefer Stella?” ask Feby. “What's so special about Stella that you dumped me?”

Feby held onto his chest which felt tight. She kept crying while tidying up her things. The woman took a deep breath and wiped her tears.

“There's no point in me crying over them. Now, I'm going to go and start my new life. I hate you guys,” murmured Feby in the end.

After booking a taxi, Feby put on his glasses and mask, then walked out of his room.

Life full of abuse and blasphemy from the people around him made Feby unable to stay there. While pulling her suitcase, the woman left the city where her dreams had been waking up.

[Stella, I'm sorry I hurt you. Now, I'm gonna get out of your life. May you be happy because you have made me feel small in front of you.]

Stella stopped her steps. His eyes stared at the writing on his phone screen, a short message sent by Feby.

Stella's heart stopped beating. Her chest feels tight. Oxygen is lost from the surroundings. The woman did not know how to breathe or move after reading a short message from Feby. All he knew was that his body was glued to a single point as he continued to stare straight at the screen of his phone.

Feby's short message was an apology. But, in the short message it is also implied that the sentence blamed Stella for the incident.

Stella walked backwards, then leaned her body against a nearby wall. He tried to balance his body. Panicking, he could not act rationally.

“Stella, are you okay?” ask Davin who just came out of his study. The man felt worried when he saw Stella seemed to lean her body against the wall.

Stella jerks. “I'm fine. Just a little dizzy,” he said, lying.

“Come, I helped you get into the room,” Davin said. Davin can always be calm, act as if he does not know what happened, all that he did to keep Stella comfortable with him.

Davin held onto Stella's shoulder, helping the woman into her study. After sitting Stella on the sofa, Davin took the aromatic oil and gave it to Stella.

“I will make you a warm drink, wait here for a while,” said Davin then hurriedly out of his study without having time to wait for Stella's response.

After Davin died, Stella read Feby's short message. He deeply regretted his actions, feeling that he had made a grave mistake by humiliating Garry and Feby that day.

‘Sorry, Feb. I didn't mean to make you hate people,’ Stella murmured inwardly.

Meanwhile, elsewhere Garry was also dragging his suitcase down the airport area. The man looked at the ticket he had in hand, then smiled wryly.

‘Now, I'll go and won't bother you anymore, Stella. I'm sorry,’ Garry muttered inwardly.

Although Garry previously agreed to a request from his family, but all of it was not as his family hoped. The man decided to leave without anyone knowing where he was headed. Clearly, she wanted to disappear from Stella's life and reflect on all her mistakes.

Garry took a deep breath when he heard the announcement of the flight he was about to board. Before he stepped away, he did not forget to send a short message as a farewell to Stella, the woman he loved, but had hurt.

[Stella, take good care of yourself. I will go for a while to reflect on all my mistakes and correct myself. Don't blame yourself for what happened, because I don't blame you for everything that happened. I will definitely return when I feel I deserve to love you again. Sorry for all my mistakes. Good bye, honey. I will always love you.]

Once the message that Garry sent to Stella before finally leaving and disappearing from Stella's life.
