Aurora comes to Sumi at her restaurant. The woman who remained energetic despite being pregnant was stepping casually into the restaurant of her best friend followed by Nala who always tailed behind her. Aurora entered Sumi's room without knocking on the door as usual.
"Square"
"Eh, sorry!"said Aurora immediately turned her body to want to get out of Sumi's room, when she saw Sumi sitting on the sofa single, while Hendrik appeared to confine Sumi. Even the two people who turned to Aurora had their faces very close together.
"Just in! I'm going back, okay!"hendrik said as he stood up, making Aurora undo his intention to get out of the room.
"Thank you!"hendrik smiled gently at Sumi, then moved out of Sumi's room.
After Hendrik came out of the room past him, Aurora turned her back, rushing to sit on the sofa in front of Sumi.
"Sorry, I'm bothering you again. ahem.ehem.
"What, anyway!"kilah Sumi with a face that meets red.
"Cie .cie.. who's fallen in love (falling in love)!
Hows it? Have you started to like brother, Hendrik? Looks like your relationship is getting closer. Do you want to accept Hendrik's proposal?"aurora asked looking at Sumi enthusiastically.
"I don't deserve him. He is like a shining star in the sky, while I. ordinary people will think again to marry me," Sumi smiled wryly.
"Why do you think that? Brother Hendrik is really sincere with you, Sum,"
"You knew? Yesterday as we walked, we met with coal entrepreneurs who often became our subscription first" Sumi said without responding to Aurora's questions.
"Seriously?"aurora looked surprised.
"hum. He offered me to be his wife. But not to be his legal wife. I refused, but instead he wanted me to spend the night with him. He thought I paid Hendrik to spend the night with Hendrik and was willing to pay me three times what Hendrik paid me. And it succeeded in making Hendrik angry to hit the coal businessman to sit on the floor,"
"That coal-fired businessman wants to make you his mistress? Hmh! How dare he! And of course big brother was angry, how could he not be angry if someone said that in front of him?"
"Not to be offended! It's only natural, because I'm a former night butterfly. So if they look down or look me in the eye, that's natural,"
"Sorry! It's all because of me. If Rayyan doesn't operate on your face like this, you won't experience anything like this" said Aurora, who felt guilty about what happened to Sumi.
Rayyan operated on Sumi's face to be similar to her to clear her name. But it was Sumi who had to bear the risk of being harassed by their former customers first.
"Hey! Why do you feel guilty like that? Did you forget? I was a butterfly the night before we met. Even if my face is not operated on like this, things like yesterday I will still experience. Besides, your husband didn't force me to have the surgery. Your husband just offered me. Agree or not, it's up to me. So, you don't have to feel guilty like that,"
"Then how? Will you accept Brother Hendrik as your life partner?"
Sumi smiled blandly at Aurora's question. Many times the woman seemed to catch her breath.
"If he were with me, yesterday's events would repeat themselves. I don't know when, but things like yesterday will definitely happen again, "sahut Sumi smiled.
"But you guys were like that.."
"He asked for a kiss from me before he left me. Because today is the last day we met," Sumi said cutting off Aurora's words.
"Hum, that,"
"Why? Don't tell me you can't love Hendrik! You can't lie to me. You like Hendrik's brother,"
"I'll admit, I like him,"
"Why did you reject him?"
"Because he's too good and too perfect for me. As for me, my face is just a pretty imitation, has no education, a former night butterfly. Can not be compared with him who from birth is beautiful, wealthy and graduate. I want him to get better and better than me. I want her to be happy without anyone bothering her. If it is with me, then he will be humbled and despised by people because of my status from the lower middle class and former night butterflies. And I don't want him to be treated like that. Doesn't loving it not have to have? If she is happy, I feel happy, even without me" Sumi said, sighing in her chest.
"But, Sum, he really sincerely loves you. And you're the first woman he ever loved. You're the one who made him motivated to change himself. Is that not enough to make you accept him? What if he can't be happy without you?"
"I'm sure he'll be happy. I will always pray for him" said Sumi, who was firm in his stance.
"I really don't understand the way you think and your concept of love. If you love him, why don't you put aside all the differences between you? He wants to accept you for who you are, and is willing to fight for your love. But you gave up before the war. I'm sure you've been in love with her all along. But because you think about the differences between you, you kill your feelings that are even just growing. Right, what did I say?"guess Aurora who made Sumi smile bitterly.
"I sacrificed my life to see my mother and sisters happy. Even though I have to suffer in order to make it all happen. But I'm willing. Seeing the people I love living well and smiling happily is enough for me. The sincerity of their love and affection for me is precious to me. Therefore, I am willing to do anything to make them happy. One day you'll feel what it's like to sacrifice your happiness to see your loved ones happy,"
"You're really in love. Your words have become so poetic. But you still don't want to accept him. You're really stubborn,"
"Don't talk about it anymore! My decision will not change, even if you persuade me,"
"As far as you are! As a friend, I have given the best opinion and advice in my opinion. Whether you accept it or not is up to you. There is still a chance if you want to change your decision. Do not let you regret later on because of wrong in making a decision. Regret comes later, because if it comes first the name is not regret but registration. And don't let your regrets become a pain!"aurora took a long breath.
Aurora no longer knows how to advise and support Sumi to fight for her love. Because as a friend, Aurora can see clearly if Sumi loves Hendrik. And Hendrik also looks sincere on Sumi. But Sumi is too discouraged by all her flaws and unwilling to fight for her love.

...Love may give you a wound. But, injuries will make you more mature....
...He who cannot accept your love does not mean to be a hindrance to your future....
...If letting go is a choice, then love teaches us the meaning of enduring and letting go....
...There comes a time to let go and let go, because the heart cannot be forced....
...Loving her is a time when her happiness is more important to you than anything else. You are willing to suffer just to see him happy....
