THE WORLD IS SMALL

Karin walked down the street in City A, a very new city to her. Only armed with a few clothes that he got from his old rental and meager money that was always in his small wallet. Still grateful, in his small wallet there are still ID cards and ATM cards that can make him survive temporarily.

While wiping the sweat from her forehead Karin walked along a fairly busy street. Karin sat on a long bench right in front of a cafe called Cafe Alea's.

It was late at night, many shops were closed. The road was deserted, only a few cars passed by.

With a lonely heart Karin still sits alone.

Still confused, Karin took a piece of paper from her pocket. He looked at a piece of paper with the address of his best friend in college.

"It's very difficult to find this address ... where the phone number is not active, and the money is running low again." complained Karin, looking at the passing vehicles in front of her.

Karin took a deep breath. Karin was determined to immediately leave the city of N, leave her lingering pride there, and forget everything, especially all about Aska.

Thinking of Aska, Karin's heart was a little disturbed. The image of Aska playing in his eyes, what when Aska was spoiled, sulked and angry. All of this made Karin's heart even more tortured and sad.

"What happened to Aska when she found out I left the house, was she angry, hurt or even happy because she could continue the engagement without any more obstacles." Karin's heart shrank at the memory.

In the album opening on her cellphone, you can see several photos of Aska there, Karin smiled sadly as she stared at the photo of Aska lying in the grass looking at her, and himself in a half-squat kneeling position with his face turned toward Aska's.

What a very romantic sight as a couple.

"A lover? Isn't he the one who doesn't admit it? Why now by looking at the photo, ahe thinks Aska is her lover?" Karin smiled bitterly at the thought that had just entered her mind.

Karin closed her eyes, it was getting late in the evening, but until now Karin had not found the address that Karin was looking for. Her body and eyes felt tired.

"Karin? "Call someone with a female voice calling his name. Karin opened her eyes slowly looking at a girl with a face right in front of her.

"Karin? Is it true you Karin? "Asked the girl again as if she could not believe her eyesight.

"Alea?" Karin replied, shocked that she couldn't believe that in city A she could meet Alea, who was none other than her college friend and also the younger sibling of Edo's former lover. Karin hurriedly got up from her seat and walked away from Alea who stood dumbfounded.

"Karin! wait! "shouted Alea while grabbing Karin's arm that was running fast. Karin stopped her steps, she glared at Alea.

"What else, isn't it my problem with your brother already resolved? I can't believe in this city I have to meet you!" Karin hissed while releasing Alea's grip. But Alea held Karin's arm firmly.

"For you, the problem with Edo may have been resolved by Karin, but for Edo and me the problem is not over yet. You are really unfair to Edo, you only listen to Citra, haven't you listened to Edo's reason? " clearly Alea defended her brother.

"What other reasons should I hear, the photo evidence is clear. Never mind Alea, I have to go now, think of everything as an old past. Karin answered with a cold face, and tried to release Alea's tight grip.

"Sorry Karin, I won't miss this opportunity, while I meet you. You used to just disappear without hearing anything from us, I have to explain now. After that it's up to you, you can leave without me preventing you again. Please give me some time? "Said Alea with a pleading look.

Karin looked into Alea's eyes, which looked sad there, and it made her feel bad.

"Okay, after you explain, I'll go and you don't stop me anymore!" said Karin with a cold gaze.

Alea nodded her head quickly. He let go of Karin's grip, and pulled Karin's hand into the cafe she had seen earlier.

"Alea's Cafe's" does this mean that this cafe belongs to Alea? "Karin's small heart wondered.

"Sit down Rin." Alea invites Karin to sit on the red sofa close to her study.

"Explain now, I don't have much time, I still have other things to do, "said Karin a little restless because it was getting late.

"Karin, what you heard from Citra was part of the story untrue. Edo never betrayed you Karin, only one mistake, didn't dare to be honest with you for fear you would be angry. Edo and Citra are not really dating, Edo is just helping Citra break up with her boyfriend. You know that Citra is Edo's best friend from junior high school, so when Citra needs Edo's help to act as his girlfriend, Edo will do it, as long as you don't know. But the basis turns out that Citra betrayed Edo's trust, he did not think that Citra would actually destroy your relationship with Edo. You know Rin, Citra did it all. It turns out that all this time Citra loves Edo. "Alea's story was long.

"Then the photo?" asked Karin a little sarcastically.

"Including Karin's photo, Citra tells Edo to make her boyfriend more convincing, Citra asks Edo to take a romantic photo with her, and unfortunately Edo believes in Citra's plan again. Actually Edo had rejected it at that time, but because Citra begged while crying, Edo couldn't bear it, especially considering that Citra was his best friend since junior high school. " replied Alea, honestly and it was obvious. And Karin knew that as long as she was friends with Alea, Alea had never lied.

"I'm now asking you Karin, if you were Edo Brother, your best friend asked for your help because there was a problem, what would you do? " Asked Alea, staring at Karin's eyes which began to fade.

Karin's heart was shocked, her memory drifted to Aska, wasn't her relationship with Aska also just a play, because she wanted to help Aska where her life would not be long. And what if what he did know Edo. "Karin's heart shrank, guilt lingering in her heart.

"I don't know anymore, what you tell me is the real thing or not." Karin answered without answering Alea's question, which seemed to tease her.

"You really know I am Karin, I would never have lied to you, if at that time you didn't hurry away, I would have explained to you. " Said Alea while grabbing Karin's hand.

"And don't you want to know the current situation of Edo Karin? Don't you want to know what happened to Edo after you left?" Asked Alea, staring into Karin's eyes closely, looking for the love in Karin's eyes if it still belonged to her sister.

Karin was silent, her heart began to feel restless. Really guilt began to attack his heart. In the past, her heart was really hurt by the story of Citra, who cried sobbing in front of her, a thousand words of forgiveness from the mouth of Citra for having a relationship behind Karin. Especially when Citra shows a photo where Citra kisses Edo on the cheek, it really makes Karin's anger at its peak. Especially Edo, who was silent when his anger overflowed, even when Karin beat him up.

Karin took a deep breath while massaging her temples.

"Why at that time Edo was silent and did not immediately explain it to me?" asked Karin, still trying to survive with her reasons.

"You know for yourself how when you are angry, Edo is silent because he sees you are very angry, that's why Edo intends to explain when your emotions have subsided, unfortunately you quickly disappeared. You remember Rin, you beat up Edo at that time, maybe at that time Edo beat you with one blow, because we know, because he's him we can master taekwondo. " Alea reminds Karin. Karin's chest tightened even more, remembering what she had done.

"Alea, I'm sorry. I know my sorry word is definitely too late, but I'm really sorry if that's the case, "said Karin with a regretful heart.

"Apologize to Edo, not me. Because the one who got hurt the most here is Edo." replied Alea with a sad face again. Alea's eyes were filled with tears.

"Please tell Edo, I'm sorry about all that happened." Karin's low voice earnestly.

"Even if I tell Edo now, he won't understand Rin. "Alea's voice choked with muffled sobs.

"Indeed, why can't Edo understand Alea? What's wrong with Edo? "asked Karin, her heart starting to pound with guilt.

"It's been a year since Edo has been in Rin's Mental Hospital, "said Alea, sobbing sadly.
