Rainbow for Aqila
Be late

"Ren" Gempano's face beamed to see the girl coming, today he will say clearly and solemnly that his mother has approved and he will come to Renata's house

"Hi" Renata just smiled thinly and behaved normally, unlike the old days who would fuss and ask questions, have you eaten? You just got home from work? How's work?

The two of them sat on one of the long chairs provided there, facing directly on the edge of the lake, and could see the shadow of the sun from there

"How are you?" Gempano started the conversation, somehow it's awkward for both of them

"I'm good, how about you?"

"Yahhh I'm also quite good" Gempano replied, he smiled a little, the situation was not entirely good

"Good then, I want to..."

"Ren, my engagement is off" Renata, who was about to take the invitation in her office, stopped when she heard the man's words. He was silent in a mood he could not explain

"Why can?" He paused his intention to take the clear paper, maybe later, he thought

"He's already chosen to be engaged to someone else" Gempano took his breath away as he said that

"How come? Have you guys not made a deal before?" Gempano shook his head, his parents were only planning and had yet to make an agreement for this

"Sorry" Renata now fell silent as Gempano said the word

"Sorry for everything, for all false promises, for your heartache and for your disappointment" Renata pensively said, apologizing is easy but forgetting is hard, gempano's words and the pain left by the man could not just disappear from his heart

"I forgive you" Gempano turned to look at Renata, a smile rising from his lips upon hearing that

"I will try to forget everything and forgive you, even if it is difficult I will try" Renata continued

"I know that even if your mouth says that but your heart still has a hard time accepting it, but I promise to correct my mistake now" Renata slightly furrowed her brows, what does it mean to correct the mistake? Thought

"You mean?"

"I'll try to repair our broken relationship Ren, my mother has given permission" Renata looked at the man who was also staring at her

"Sir Gempano, I forgive you does not mean that our relationship will return to how it was, I forgive you does not mean we can be together again" Renata replied

"Why?"

"A damaged gas may be repaired but it will still leave marks, as well as us, even if we get back together but everything will be different from before, besides..."

"I'll try, I'll try to get your heart back if you don't like me anymore, I'll fight to get your parents back, I'll start fighting for everything" Renata sighed, again Gempano cut off his words

"In addition I will get married soon" said Renata slowly, his voice was slow. If he had waited for Gempano to say this, but not anymore, it was too late

"What?!" Gempano slightly raised his speech, did he not hear wrong

"I'll get married soon" Renata issued her wedding invitation to Galang and handed it to the man. Gempano accepted it with a tremble

"It's three more days, I wish that Gempano's brother could come" Renata pursed his lips after saying that, he couldn't bear to actually see the wound in the man's eyes, but how else? It's too late, time cannot be turned back

"Groof?" Gempano couldn't believe seeing the name written there. An error? He and Renata used to be like cats and rats when they met

"Ren, I know you might be disappointed in me but shouldn't make a fake invitation like this? Especially by writing Galang's name, you think I believe?" Gempano is actually trying to reject the fact that is happening now, his heart does not accept if Renata really will get married

"I'm not kidding, it's real, if you don't believe you can come to that address in three days, I'll get married that day"

"Ren, can't everything change? Why was everything so far off the road before" Gempano lowered his voice turned hoarse, he cried, completely cried, Renata fell silent for the first time seeing the humorous man cry

"I'm completely confused now Ren, my head is like it's about to break seeing this matter, just because one wrong move everything is destroyed" the man still lowered his head, looking down, do not dare to look at the reality in front of the eyes that women who have been with him for several years will marry other men

"Take a lesson for you in the future, make yourself a man who is firm and responsible for your choices" Renata replied, that's all he can say

"Can't it all be repeated from the beginning?" Gempano made a soft voice and Renata chuckled, he also wiped away the tears that suddenly dripped in the corner of his eyes

"Returned from where? From our relationship? I'm not some crazy woman who just cancels a wedding vows"

"Are you sure he's a good man who can guide you? You don't remember when he used to play with women's feelings?"

"At least he's a responsible man, and not a plan like you, he at least promised that he could make me happy after marriage even his parents accepted me well. About his past?, I don't want to judge people from his past because he could have changed even in less than a day" Renata's sentence became a slap for Gempano

"In addition I don't want to be a choice, a choice you choose when your first choice fails, I want to be a goal, a goal that takes priority from the beginning" Renata sighed, he stood up from his seat and held the rope of his bag tightly

"It's almost night, I went home before my mom called"

"I'm sorry, I hope you can get the best mate and learn from your mistakes" Renata patted the man on the back and prepared to leave

"Assalamu'alaikum"

Gempano pulls the sleeve of Renata's shirt to make the girl stop

"I'm sorry if I can't be there on your happy day, I need to prepare my heart and mentality so as not to cry when I see other men beside you"

"I understand, I still wish you'd come"

"Can we still be friends?"

"Why not? I would love to have a friend as good as you" Gempano smiled slightly even though his heart was hurting

"Thank you, be careful on the road"

Renata nodded, turning the girl's body of tears just spilled, the heart can never lie, he loves the man even the love is still there, the love is still there, but a belief that became the earliest foundation was lost, until everything was destroyed. He should not be like this because Gempano is no longer the man he deserves to cry for

Gempano who saw Renata's departure just smiled grievously, shattered unceremoniously, everything was too late, he took his breath and got up from there, not forgetting to bring the invitation that Renata gave

He drove his bike at a fairly high speed, initially he wanted to tell Renata that his mother agreed and asked to invite him to dinner at once as an apology, but what now? It's all too late

When she reached her house, Ratih's mother came out of the house when she heard the sound of her son's motorbike

"Where's Renata?" He asked when he saw Gempano only came alone. Gempano did not answer, he gave the invitation to his mother and just walked into the house, he was really fucked up right now

Ratih's mother was surprised to see Gempano, not usually he behaved like that, he saw the invitation in his hand

"G and R" he muttered reading the initials of the name written there

Due to high curiosity and a feeling that started to get unpleasant, he quickly opened the paper

Deg

He looked back at the door of his son's closed room, now he realized Gempano must be depressed because of this, and the main cause was that he was a parent who limited his child's choice

"I'm sorry mommy son" Ratih's mom was only able to say that, she realized that her selfishness made them lose everything
