The Way We Met's
2. Dreams of past dreams

Damn, the next door neighbor Nina's room is a newlywed couple on their honeymoon. The night after cleaning up, Nina ordered warm tea from the hotel. The plan, Nina will sip it on the balcony while looking at the view of the lake at night. Hopefully after, his sleep will be good and not too much thought that he brought to sleep.

“ Hahaha. I want to have three children. Two males and one female.” I heard a female voice.

Nina turned her head, to the right of her room, came out a pair that seemed to be newlyweds. Walking towards the balcony while the man's hand was holding the woman's shoulder.

“ Our house is small. Is it enough to have three children? Two days yes?”

“Let me accompany you until our house is wide enough for our children to play. Even if our homes remain cramped, at least we love each other. That's enough to make our lives magnificent. “

Damnit. Nina cursed in her heart.

“They don't know if there is another heartbroken girl nyruput tea here.” Nina's grouse in the heart.

“What will you call later? Abi's? Daddy's? Papa?” Said the woman in a spoiled tone.

“Hello?” Nina cursed again in her heart.

But hearing this newlywed talk, Nina remembered. He used to dream with Marco.

That night, it was quite late indeed. At 12 pm finished watching the movie, Nina did not want to go home as usual. Around the city first, through Tunjungan street full of sparkling lights. Or just cross the Suramadu bridge and back again. Nina wants to be with Marco. On the bike, they were both wondering about the future.

About choosing a bed sheet motif, looking for socks that disappear next door, or small quarrels such as putting a wet towel on the mattress. Light things about the household that make them happy. Imagine a face to face with this fun man. This patient man and great leader. Every day Nina's heart never stopped pounding because of Marco.

“You want a rich house what?” Ask Nina on marco.

“Home with us.”

“Yaela means high, big, wide, have a pool, or how?”

“Home pengen that has his garden. But we take care of ourselves. Count latian eating children.” Answer Marco.

“You rich interior how?”

“Home that makes you comfortable.”

“Why is that?”

“Kan later that much in your home. For me, if the one who serves me is comfortable I am also comfortable.”

Nina smiled at Marco's macho reply.

Sometimes they also fad through the housing that is being built. Choose which house they like best. Analyzing which house is most suitable for them to live with their two children which of course is also still in delusion.

“Kanya I will choose this house deh yang.” Marco told Nina, after circling the estate six times.

“Ih whatansi why corner.”

“Kalo in that corner we're freer. We want to have a garden with lots of plants. This will be very lush later nih.” Said Marco while pointing at the house in front of him. This time they stopped. Look more carefully around the house.

“Yang, I'm a coward. How can you choose a house in a gini corner. Bayangin in the corner is usually anything.”

“How do you work again?”

“You can play anywhere. I'll pick you up later. We go home with.”

“I love the house next to the post that. Safer I am also more comfortable.”

“Yaudah yukli.” Take Marco and restart the motor. They were still the beginning of semester two at that time.

The two of them were not looking for a house, nor were they in a hurry to get married. But they both hoped that, with the words they spoke of goodness, they would make the angels participate.

Marco has always managed to water Nina's dreams. Nina, who is shy, is much different after meeting Marco since the first grade of High School. Every day there is always hope that Nina promised and Marco always guaranteed, while helping Nina make it happen.

Now, back to the current dimension. In fact, Nina was alone, seeing a beautiful landscape with warm tea that was cold. With very cold air, without a jacket. Accompanied by a romantic chat of a couple of newlyweds. It feels like he said it to Vania last afternoon and he wanted to pull it back. Nina wanted to just jump off the fifth floor right then and there.

Nina moved in, as the newlyweds chat became more and more chaotic.

Nina laid her body on the mattress. Seeing sky-lagit. Hope to close soon. But not only the whole corner of Surabaya, the whole corner of his mind was still about Marco. Nina was crying. Never thought everything would turn out like this.

Marco, who seemed never to leave Nina, was gone. Truly choosing that woman after thousands of times Nina asked convincingly.

“Why after you take me to a brighter life, you go and make my life dim again?”

“Why after driving me to this point, the point I can be financially independent and not depend on my parents' money, you choose another way. “

“Why don't we enjoy the results of our hard work so far,co?”

“I'm wrong are you with another girl?”

“Many plans that we have not yet realized. There are a lot of places we haven't visited yet. I don't think I can afford to know you should go through the rest of your plans with other people.”

“Our journey is still long,co. If I have less you should talk. I can still fix it. I'll do anything for you.”

“Evil you co. After you made me very dependent on you. You go that way.”

Those questions just kept circling Nina's brain. And Marco doesn't have a single answer to Nina's question. Marco just said thank you and a lot of sorry.

Nina managed to fall asleep after 3 hours of crying and screaming at the situation.

On Sunday, Nina woke up at eleven. Looked at the glass window he didn't close last night. Seen from a distance the lake he was gazing at from last night.

“Maybe if the morning is more beautiful times ya” Nina murmured in the heart.

Seen from Nina's bed, Many families enjoy a vacation there. Riding a boat, trying to ride a horse, just take pictures, or enjoy a pecel pincuk on the edge of the lake. It may be beautiful. Nina doesn't know. Because since then, no more family functions for him.

Nina did not want to ride a boat or ride a horse, Nina just wanted to sit on the edge of the lake. By ourselves.

Nina took a shower and changed clothes. Not wearing any makeup. What for anyway? Nobody picked her lipstick color anymore.

With an empty stomach, Nina walked towards the lake. Wearing a thin t-shirt and jeans, Nina did not carry a jacket. Leave your wallet and cell phone in the hotel room. Nina only brought a little money when hungry. In fact, from day to night, Nina sat on the edge of the lake. Without eating, without drinking. Without clothes ready for the cold. Now his sadness reached the level of not being able to shed tears anymore.--------
