SYAHDU (Contract Sleep Friends)
Reason for breaking up

It all makes sense now. Why does the girl look so discouraged. It turns out that he broke up with his girlfriend. Although Arga was also surprised, even though they had just gone on an excursion together. What did the man do to Syahdu? The girl was crying at the station last night, but her boyfriend came to the class this morning without any problems. Really weird.

Arga now stands not far from Syahdu. The girl sat on the floor as she continued to stare blankly at the open glass window.

Syahdu bent his knees, drowning his head above his knees. Arga could see that shaken shoulder, surely Syahdu was crying again. She wanted to embrace Syahdu, helping the girl to be calmer. But, he knew the girl must have refused. He abandoned his intentions and allowed Syahdu to shed tears while he did his job.

Syahdu slowly wiped away his tears, and began to read the message from Wicak. His heart was as slashed, the man continued to send him messages with many question marks there. The reason that Syahdu gave was nonexistent. Naturally he wondered, but Syahdu did not have any reason other than his dirty self.

That reason will never be revealed because it is a disgrace to him. Enough he asked Wicak to just accept the decision, it was definitely the best decision according to Syahdu.

Syahdu could not hold back his tears. The water was still hanging on his chin, then dripping onto the screen of Syahdu's phone. Quickly the girl wiped her tears even though she did not want to stop.

Syahdu hugged his knees again, then muttered to himself.

"Patience, Syahdu. Be strong. Time will turn around and you will recover soon. Yes, you will recover, as will Brother Wicak. There will be a day when you will meet with a flat feeling for each other."

He cried again when he heard his own words. Apparently, he is not that strong to be ordinary to Wicak even in mere words.

A few hours passed. Syahdu was lying on the bed. Arga has finished his work. He saw that Syahdu had closed his eyes even though tears were still on his face.

The man lay down next to him. Pull the blanket over both of their shoulders. He kissed Syahdu's forehead gently before he finally fell asleep near the girl.

...🍁...

Arga wakes up as the sun starts to rise. He was shocked when he did not find Syahdu next to him.

"Shahdu!" Call Arga, but there's no word. The girl disappeared because wherever Arga searched, still did not find her.

TRINGS!

It's Syahdu's phone. His phone is still on the nightstand. Arga checked the phone that had just received an incoming message. It was from Wicak, Syahdu's lover whom he still keeps his picture. Even the name of the man is still included with the heart mark. Are they really breaking up?

Arga tried to read the message from the screen without opening it. He was just curious about the reason for the breakup of the lover who had been dating for 7 years.

'Syahdu, please forgive my mistake. But please tell me. Come, talk. I'd like to meet. Explain to me everything and I will change for you.'

Arga put down Syahdu's phone again. It turned out that the man himself also did not know what was the reason for Syahdu deciding it.

Arga looked back when he heard the door open. Syahdu came in already full of sweat with Popi. He went straight to the fridge and drank the water in the bottle.

So, he just got a sport? It was only the first time Arga saw Syahdu wake up earlier than him. But clearly the reason Syahdu sports is because of a breakup.

They entered this morning. Syahdu had already left before Arga. The girl reached the campus slowly, looking back and forth hoping not to meet Wicak. But alas, his hand was immediately grasped tightly by Wicak.

"Shahdu."

Ah, the girl's body instantly squeezed. What he avoided met.

"There's nothing to talk about, brother, I can't be the same sister." Answer the girl quickly. He tried to let go of his hand but Wicak grasped it tightly.

"It can be like this, Syahdu. I don't want to break up."

"But I want us to be happy, brother."

"Why, Syahdu? Tell me why." Tukas Wick.

Shahdu looked at that face. He held back tears that began to stagnate.

"I'm not in love with my sister." Answer Syahdu with a bow.

"liks. You don't lie, Syahdu." Wicak Sahut. "Say, Syahdu. What's wrong?"

Syahdu looked at Wicak deeply. "I'm not wrong."

"Yes, trus? Why are you like this, hm?" Wicak gently stroked Syahdu's head. "If there's something you don't like about me, you should say. Not to break the relationship between the parties. Come on, let's talk about it." said Wicak in a very soft tone.

Finally the tears flowed. He can't hold it anymore. "I-I'm not good for brother."

"Shahdu, what's not good. You're very kind. No one knows you better than me. Don't make excuses." Said Wicak firmly. That made Syahdu shed more tears.

"Udahlah, brother. Our relationship cannot continue. My parents don't agree with our relationship either."

Wicak exhaled slowly. "So because of that?"

Syahdu. He began to think of what else he would use so that Wicak could accept it.

"I want to break up, brother." Syahdu slowly released Wicak's hand. "Our relationship cannot continue. Please follow me, Plis, don't make me feel guilty any deeper."

"Wrong by what, Syahdu? I need a reason. Your reasons are too meaningful. What's actually going on? Are you being forced by my mother?"

Syahdu shook his head quickly. "Neither is meaningful. It's from the heart." Syahdu wiped his tears again. "brother please don't call me again. I don't want to and won't answer your sister's messages again."

The lizard breathed. "You want to break first? Wanna rest? how long, I'll do it. But not broken up, huh? I understand that if you need space, maybe I take you away too often, so you're bored. I-so, right? I understand that's exactly what happened. It's natural, because we've been seven years. But it's not breaking up, is it?" Persuak Wicak's.

Syahdu took out a brown envelope and a jewelry box from his bag, handed it to Wicak.

"Sorry, brother. But I really want it all to end. Ii'm sorry. I can't continue our relationship. May you be better than me." Syahdu then left.

"What's? Syahdu, wait."

The girl ran away, leaving Wicak with a feeling she could not describe. It turns out Syahdu really wants to separate just like that. But that is precisely what makes Wicak more tormented and can not let it happen just like that. He will continue to fight for Syahdu for his life.
