Edward sat in a chair outside the room, his face white. In his head, Elsa's shadow swirled like a film being played back. There is a glimmer of hope that Elsa can be saved. The doctor said that Elsa was lucky to be taken to the hospital so the hope to be saved was high. Alena sat beside him too with a pale face. She was silent and did not dare to say anything until finally, Edward said to Alena.
"I love you and you love Nizam. George loves Elsa and Elsa loves me instead. What kind of love game is this?"
"I think one of us shouldn't be selfish. Someone has to give in," Alena said carefully
"Who has to give in? Me against Elsa or Elsa against George? Or why don't you give in to me?"
"Edward. You are very nice to me. From the beginning, I just thought of you as a close friend. There is a big difference between us. One of them is faith. There is a lot of pain that will be caused. Whether it is your parents or my parents. There are two beliefs under one roof for me. it's not that great. I can't possibly move into your faith and I also absolutely don't want you to convert just because of love. For me, Love doesn't have to sacrifice our most essential rights. Something that started with unhappiness won't work out in the future. " Alena took a deep breath, then continued her words.
"I really love Nizam, love him very much. But what Elsa did to you I will never do. Even if it was for Nizam. I do not want to sacrifice my own life. So great sacrifice Elsa for you and this is no joke. He sacrificed His life. A sacrifice that is ridiculous in my opinion. Hasn't the door to your heart knocked for Elsa? "
Edward paused.He sat leaning against the wall. Waiting for Elsa to be handled by the Doctor made time seem to be running slowly. He tried to digest Alena's words well. He remembers when in high school he was involved in a motorcycle accident. Elsa was the one waiting for him day and night. When his father and mother were often busy outside because of work, Elsa was the one who accompanied him. Elsa always makes her lunch. Elsa always entertained him. Why should I be so selfish? What Alena said might be true. I can't be selfish. Edward said to himself.
"Edward in my country there is a proverb in the Javanese language. Witing Tresna Jalaran Saka Kulina. Which means love will grow along with frequent encounters. If you continue to be by Elsa's side and feel grateful for Elsa's love for you, why should you destroy yourself? and your family by loving me who clearly doesn't love you. "
"But Alena, what if Nizam doesn't love you?" Edward still insisted.
Alena stared at the hospital wall in front of her. What if Nizam doesn't love him, what? But at that time in the apartment, Nizam clearly said that he loved her. But earlier in the Bar Edward said that Nizam asked Edward to take care of her. Then what does it mean for Nizam? Alena Reflected on her own feelings by understanding Edward's question. Then answered quietly.
"If Nizam didn't love me, I still wouldn't have made you my life partner. Maybe I would go back to Indonesia and marry an Indonesian."
Edward looked at Alena and looked into those black, lake-like eyes. Seeking the truth in Alena's words.
"Is it true that you are not going to marry one of us?"
Alena's eyes widened. "What do you mean by what you say? I don't understand."
"Alena. You know how much I love you. I will not stand it if you marry Justin or Jonathan or whoever is in the same position as me. I can die of jealousy seeing you with them. But if you marry an Indonesian or even with Nizam my heart. doesn't hurt too much. "
"So how do you decide?" Alena stared expectantly.
"All right Alena. For the sake of my love for you, for the friendship between me and Elsa. For the great sacrifice of Elsa. I am willing to try to live this love with Elsa."
"Oh .. Edward, I'm so happy." Alena hugged Edward happily.
