The morning breeze blows from the hills that are filled trees and some cypress trees, the sun slowly begins to reveal its form, the moon's shadow is still faintly visible above the sky, flocks of birds fly with a hasty whistling sound, some farmers and traders begin to be seen passing by to start their activities, some of them greeting or just throwing warm smiles at each other, children are also seen riding ontel bicycles together to go to school. Everything seems to be normal activities as usual.
However, from behind the small room, where the walls of the room are decorated with paintings of a famous from Persia, Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi, a woman can be seen, her body is quite small, her fingers are very small, long but cute, her earlobes are quite wide, her lips are thin, very thick eyelashes and long straight black hair.
The woman known by the name Anna looked gloomy, her chin drooped like a rose in autumn, the candlelight in her eyes began to dim as if it would soon be extinguished. Mr. Umar and Mrs. Layla as his parents were unable to console him. It is true that someone who is hurt because of love is quite difficult to make peace with himself, his heart and mind are often at war which is almost endless.
For a month Anna was silent, her world was only limited to her bedroom. The wound that Anna felt was deep enough. The deep wound that Anna felt began when she was waiting for news from her lover for three years but suddenly received news that her lover had married another woman in her overseas lands.
Every time her college friends visited Anna, they could no longer find Anna , who was known by people as a cheerful, humorous, and friendly woman. Everything disappeared in an instant, the smile that Anna gave to every friend who visited her was only a fake smile. Days passed, there was still no change from an Anna. There have been many surprises given to Anna by family and friends but to no avail.
"Where is the figure of Anna that we used to know?" One of his friends said when he visited Anna at night,
“Friends, don't feel at home in wounds and heartache . Your life path is still long.are Your tears too precious to cry over someone who betrayed your white love and loyalty." Andi joined in to motivate Anna.
Every word of motivation that came out of her friends was only answered with a smile with a straight face without saying a single word by Anna. Until Andi said on the way when he came home from visiting Anna, Andi said, “I've run out of words to motivate Anna. I don't know who else to quote someone else's words so that Anna can rise from her slump”
“Let me talk to Anna myself.” Said Tommy
"Are you sure, Tom?" Andi asked
“There's nothing wrong with me trying right?... Just pray. I prefer Anna to cry than to hide her sadness with a smile in front of us. Tears when you are sad are tears of honesty for me," answered Tommy.
Finally, Tommy turned back to Anna's house by taking a taxi. Upon arriving, Tommy found Anna sitting alone on the back porch of the house, Anna crying and laughing. Then Tommy approached Anna.
"What else do you want here?" Anna asked while wiping her tears
"Do you still remember when you motivated me before because of the same story as you, hurt and down because of love?" Ask Tommy
Anna no answer. stared Her blank eyes far up into the sky devoid of moon and stars.
"You once told me that love doesn't always end with a happy smile. Sometimes love teaches us what pain means, teaches us what loneliness and emptiness mean. I also want to say this to you," said Tommy, squatting close to Anna.
Hearing Tommy's words, Anna cried again and said, "Help me Tom?"
“We both idolize the Sufi figure Maulana Jalaludin Rumi, a figure who fills your bedroom walls. You still remember when the two of us often quoted the words of Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi that wounds are places where light enters the human heart. You still remember what Rumi said that we are a happy universe. Come on, don't torture yourself, enjoy every event with an independent heart. If life is suffering, let's interpret it with positive things. Why is it that when you are left by your lover, you don't eat that you are being abandoned but you are being released from the clutches of bad people." Tommy said while holding Anna's hand.
Anna's crying was getting worse. Anna hugged Tommy.
"Anna, sometimes life isn't about finding solutions but about accepting and surviving." Tommy said while wiping Anna's tears
The End
