Regret Room
Coming With Wounds is also Love

Although he returned home battered by Atikah's father, Bima can breathe Lebas now. It'sit's okay. He was deliberately not willing to fight before, because he had to accept the risk of Legowo. Bima walked with calm steps out of Tika's house even though her own face had appeared swollen. Just about to get into the car, Atikah splashed into the man's arms.

"Brt ... You can't be like this to me! What's my fault, Bim so you can cancel our wedding?"

"I'm sorry, Tika. I know it's hard for you, but if I keep the marriage going, you're the one who's gonna be tormented."

"No! I'm sure there's something that makes you finally cancel our wedding plans, right? You love me, Bim! Aye right? Just like I love you!"

Bima shook his head then released Atikah's embrace slowly. He held the two shoulders of the woman who was still crying bitterly in front of him.

"Atica ... I'm sorry, I just realized that I don't really have such deep love for you. It sounds selfish, but it hurts more if we get married but you're not happy. I just don't want it to be too late."

"lik! You love me! But it was the presence of a woman named Seruni that finally knocked me out of your heart! Aye right? Yes, Bim! Confess, Bim!" insist Atikah while tugging at the front of the leather jacket that Bima wears.

Bima closed his eyes for a moment then stared at Atikah with all the guilt. But he has to be firm with himself. It is better for Atikah to be sick now than later by forcing the marriage between them to continue.

"Well, listen, I'll make a confession to you. A sin I committed in the past."

"Does this have anything to do with Seruni?" ask Atikah with a narrowed look.

Bima nodded.

"Yes, Tika. I'm the son of a bitch who used to snatch away Seruni's chastity. I was the one who made her life fall apart all this time. I was the one who had mercilessly braved him ten years ago when he was seventeen. He was in school at the time, Tika. She's my sister's age. I'm the man who made it so cold."

Atikah released her grip on Bima's jacket, but her gaze was clear. Atikah.

"That's over, Bim! It's already passed! Leave it! I love you no matter what you've done in the past to her! I don't care, Bim! All I want is you!"

Bima shook his head, he could not obey Atikah.

"Atica ... Really other than because I had to take responsibility for what I had done to her first, to be honest, I had already fallen in love with her. I love her, Tika. I want to fight for it."

"Dam!!!" Atikah screaming.

Bima had to let go of Atikah who kept shouting like a person in pain. Both Atikah's parents came out and pulled the girl in. Bima himself could only be silent for a while, then in the end he went back into the car.

Bima stepped quietly after parking her car in front of the alley. Some middle-aged women who often sat on the steps near the rented looked surprised Bima who looked battered.

"Seruni Search, sir?" ask a mother.

"Yes, Mom. She exists?" Bima said kindly and asked.

"There, Sir. Just got back from the bar."

Bima breathes a sigh of relief. It will not break the steps anymore. Even though Seruni continued to reject him. Even if Seruni would still hate him.

Bima knocked on the door a few times. Seruni's voice was frying something, it seemed like the girl was cooking. Then there were footsteps. The door opened and Seruni appeared with a home dress and hair that was smeared just like that.

"What else do you want?" asked Seruni coldly, he saw the wound on Bima's face at a glance, had been filled but remembered the incident ten years ago, obviously the wound was deeper. Seruni was still standing between the doors, not even fully opening the doors.

"There's something I want to talk to you about, Run."

"There's nothing we need to talk about."

"I'll wait for you until you talk to me."

"Go home, this slum is not your place" replied Seruni again.

"Run ..."

"Back home!" hissing Seruni.

"I'll see you again someday."

Bima turned around but he had not yet gone any further, Seruni saw blood flowing from between the man's head. Seruni's heart grew even more filled, he suddenly felt the same pain. His eyes radiated concern although hate was still domineering.

"Bima ..." call Seruni finally made Bima turn her head. "Here you go, I'll treat your bruises and wounds."

Bima smiled slightly, feeling very happy because Seruni was willing to hold back her steps. Bima felt in vain he was beaten all-out by Atikah's father, his arrival to Seruni contract of course because of love even though all with wounds as well.
