Sad Night
The color of the clouds and the sky was getting darker, the moon began to appear with a yellow color that was increasingly visible as if it was shining towards the earth, of course not as bright as the sun that shone with such a dazzling light. Tonight, the spotlight from the street lights was even brighter, making anyone who passed by the street not afraid to walk under the lights, including a girl who was crying while walking on the side of the road. She was really disappointed with what her boyfriend had said.
It was the truth that the girl had been waiting for her lover to tell her. And what did it turn out to be? The truth also hurt him. That girl was Belvina who had run from the beach and was now far away from the beach. She was crying, under the dim light of the streetlamp and the stool on the elongated chair near the spotlight. bending her legs and resting her arms on her knees. Burying her face between her knees.
“Hiks.. hiks.. hiks.. hiks..”
The sound of crying sounded more and more pitiful, making anyone who passed by might indeed feel pity. But even those people chose not to care and continued on their way. Belvina also raised her head, wiping her tears, trying to neutralize her emotions first.
“I’m such a fool, why didn’t I know about this earlier? I never thought negatively about Gifer before. But it turns out that God let Gifer be owned by someone else overnight, hiks… hiks… hiks… I’m so disappointed in him.” Belvina’s monologue was still with tears flowing from her increasingly blurry eyes while her hands were clenched into fists and banging on both sides of the chair. Even though it would cause red marks on her own hands because the impact would hurt. Belvina wiped away her tears again and tried to calm herself down, even though it might not work.
“I’m going back to Kendal tomorrow, I want to avoid Gifer, yes, it’s better for me to avoid because Gifer will belong to another girl, even that girl is already pregnant with Gifer’s child. Oh my God, this is so painful for me.” Belvina said while holding her left chest. Her tears didn’t stop, they even increased. Belvina immediately wiped the tears away and encouraged herself.
“I have to be strong, it doesn’t matter if I live without love, isn’t life going to go on? I will live without loving anyone. I will close my heart to whoever it is, yes, I have to.” Belvina said, after that, the girl stepped her feet onto the asphalt road, and tried to walk slowly even though she was barefoot. Belvina could still remember the road to her apartment. Walking through the chilly night accompanied by the falling petals of the tabebuya flowers around her.

On the other hand, Gifer tried to find Belvina using his car. Even the bag and books that he had bought from the bookstore were still left in Gifer’s car. Belvina didn’t bring anything when she moved away from Gifer. Gifer was also getting worried because he couldn’t find Belvina. Gifer thought Belvina was still around here, but he was wrong. He searched for a long time, but didn’t find the girl at all.
“Where exactly are you, baby? I know, you must be very disappointed to hear the truth…” Gifer smacked his lips, still driving and occasionally observing the roadside, hoping he could find his beloved. But to no avail, he still couldn’t find Belvina.

Anggi had just returned home and was escorted by Ian to the front of the apartment, Anggi waved his hand at Ian’s sports car, intending to turn around and waltz into the apartment. When he was about to turn around, Anggi found a girl he recognized. Her brow furrowed to make sure in the dim street lights. Anggi tried to sharpen his vision and sure enough, it was the girl he recognized, Bevina.
“Is that Vina? But, why is she not wearing any footwear? Her hair is a mess, and oh… could it be a ghost? Ah, no… it can’t be a ghost right? Duh, I’m getting goosebumps.” Said Anggi, who further retreated her steps without taking her eyes off the girl who started approaching her.
“Yes, that’s right Vina.” When the girl approached, Anggi held her shoulders because she was worried that Belvina would get hurt.
“Vin, it’s you right? What’s wrong with you?” Belvina looked up at the panicked Anggi with a furrowed forehead. Seeing that Belvina’s face was full of tears made Anggi even more worried.
“Vin?” Vina brushed off Anggi’s hand on her shoulder, turned her face away without saying anything and walked towards the elevator. When Anggi wanted to follow Belvina, a deep voice interrupted him.
“Anggi!” Called a man with a well-built body that wasn’t as tall as his girlfriend but whose face was both sweet and handsome.
“Gifer?” Anggi, who was still confused by Belvina who went home on foot without Gifer, and suddenly the sweet man came after Belvina got into the elevator. So strange, isn’t it? Anggi was still frowning in confusion. Gifer walked over to her and handed over Belvina’s bag and books that were left in Gifer’s car.
“Here, please give it to Vina.” Gifer still tried to smile a little even though his own heart was still hurting because Belvina was disappointed in him. Belvina who rejected him like at the beach earlier.
“Why don’t you give it to her yourself, Gif? Wait, what’s going on between you guys? I’m confused, you know. Belvina went home alone but you didn’t take her? You went out together. Are you guys having a fight? “Gifer, who was flooded with questions from Anggi, smacked his lips while averting his eyes.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“It’s nothing, really, Gi. Just give it to her, I’ll go.” Before leaving, Anggi pulled Gifer’s hand.
“Answer my question first, then you can go!” Anggi said with emphasis and bulging eyes.
“It’s none of your business, it’s just mine and Belvina’s problem.”
“Vina is my best friend, if I find out you hurt her, I won’t hesitate to beat you up! Not that I’m interfering, Vina’s parents entrusted Vina to me to take care of her, if anyone else hurts her, then that person will have to deal with me, including you!” Anggi threatened. Inevitably Gifer had to tell Anggi why.
“We’ll talk, but not here.” Gifer said.
Anggi nodded and immediately pulled Gifer’s hand towards a children’s playground that was already empty of visitors. Gifer sat on a single swing, and Anggi sat on the bottom of a slide. They were close to each other.
“What did you say to Belvina that made her cry?” Anggi asked curiously.
“I told her a truth that I’ve never revealed before.” Gifer said while bowing his head, while Anggi glanced sharply at Gifer.
“What truth would make her cry like that?” Gifer swallowed harshly.
“Earlier, I met Kiano, my former business client, and Nara’s brother.”
“Nara? That girl who always tried to harm you?” Gifer nodded.
“So what?”
“Kiano said that Nara is pregnant with my child.” Instantly Anggi’s eyes bulged.
“What? But… you didn’t do it with Nara right?” Anggi guessed. It was also hard for Gifer to reveal this to someone other than his girlfriend. Gifer closed his eyes before raising his head to stare at Anggi’s two black beads.
“I did it, Anggi.”
Anggi immediately stood up from his sitting position and…
PLAK!
