Believe In Me

            On a sunny morning in Jakarta. Yeah, like usual this morning is same with the morning before. This morning David asks Lucy, his new girlfriend to go to the park. Every Sunday David allows himself to take a walk in that place just to enjoy life. That place becomes an unforgettable memory for David, memory of losing his girlfriend Winda.
            Six months ago on Sunday at around 9, unexpected thing happened. When they were sitting on a bench that located at the corner of the park, enjoying the beautiful view among the big city. At first, their talk was full of laugh, but no one knew why suddenly Winda silenced a moment, liked she was thinking about something. Her face showed that she was very worried.
            “Are you okay, Winda?” asked David
            “ Oh yeah, I’m fine.” Answered her with a bit shocked tone.
            “You look worried from your face, Why?”asked David again.
Winda shaked her head. “No, noyhing.” Answered her.
            “Hei just tell me what’s wrong?” said David with no hostage.
            “Ngg, David, looks like we should end our relationship.” A sentence that was very unexpected out from his girlfriend’s mouth.
            “Why you said that?”  asked David with a bit emotional voice.
            “The main thing that we have to leave each other. We must forget our relationship that we have build all this time. Can you look other woman that is better than me.” Said Winda.
            “What is the meaning of this? Don’t said whatever you like!” said David angrily, holding Winda’s shoulder.
Winda then hugs David tightly while she’s crying, “I’m sorry David, I must go.” said her. Winda left David, but he holds Winda’s hands. She tried to leave him, however David let her left.
            “Wait!” shout David from the far, but it was too late. Wiinda has gotten in to the taxi she called.
            Since that time, David always contacts Winda again, but the number isn’t active any more. David then looks for her in her apartment, but he hasn’t found it until now.
            Six months later, this time David has a new girlfriend, Lucy’s the name. a women with beautiful face, easy to smile, and so kind like Winda. David met her while he was walking in this park and accidentally they bought ice cream together.
            In this park they walk without a single bit of bored feeling. They finally stopped on a bench, place where David and Winda separated. Yes, they are talking about activities that they have done this week, laughing.
            Between the laught, suddenly someone approachs them, a woman that never be forgotten by David, Winda. She looks so neat and brings a travelling bag. David stands up from the bench. He then holds Winda’s hands, without looking about the condition around.
            “Winda, where are you all this time?” asked David with bright eyes.
            “You shouldn’t know that.” releasing David’s hands.
Lucy doesn’t want disturbed their meeting, finally she left that place.
            “Ngg, I will buying ice cream.” said her then go.
David looks like doesn’t feel that Lucy is near him.
            “I think it will be our last meeting.” Said Winda.
            “What do you mean for the last meeting?” asked David with emotional voice.
