The Love Song of Gadjah Mada

The argument between Gita and Mada erupted as soon as they sat in the comfortable corner of the coffee shop. "Gita, I don't understand why you're so stubborn about this. Why can't you see the great opportunity here?" exclaimed Mada, furrowing his brow.

Gita stared at him sharply, "Mada, you always talk about career and success, but what does it all mean without love and a comfortable relationship? I don't want my life to be dictated solely by a career; I want to pursue happiness in love."

Mada sighed in frustration, "You're too idealistic, Gita. This world is not just about love. A successful career can bring happiness and stability to a relationship. You can't rely on feelings alone."

Gita rose from her chair with trembling hands, "I don't believe you can ignore feelings. Career may be important, but I don't want to pursue something that makes me unhappy. We can find a middle ground, Mada. I don't want life to feel like a prison."

Mada looked at Gita with confusion, "Middle ground? What do you mean? We can't combine two things at once. You have to choose, Gita. This is about our future."

The argument heated up as Gita retorted, "And my future is not just about a career. I won't feel successful if I lose love and happiness in my life. You can achieve success without neglecting feelings, Mada."

Mada shook his head in frustration, "You don't understand reality, Gita. You're too fixated on dreams and your feelings. I can't see a future with you if you remain like this."

Gita felt disappointed, "So, is this the end? Both of us choosing separate paths?"

Mada nodded, "Maybe this is for the best, Gita. We have different views on life. I want to move forward, and I need someone who can do it with me, not hinder my steps."

Gita looked at Mada sadly, "I hope your success brings you happiness, Mada. But I can't follow a path that doesn't align with my heart."

The argument ended in a painful silence. Gita and Mada, two hearts that had once beat together, were now separated by differences in views on career and love. The coffee shop, which had witnessed their laughter, now stood as a silent witness to the end of their story.

The bustling atmosphere of the coffee shop witnessed Gita and Mada's argument. However, in the midst of tension, a mysterious man with a faint smile sat in the corner of the room. As if aware of his presence, he reached for the guitar beside him.

The man began plucking the guitar strings gently, creating a melody full of emotion. Although initially strange, the melody soon seeped into the room, slipping between the sharp words exchanged between Gita and Mada.

Gita and Mada, initially silenced by this surprise, were soon captivated by the melody that unfolded. Their eyes met, and without words, they felt connected to the music that flowed, caressing their emotionally charged hearts.

A few moments later, the mysterious man concluded his performance with a gentle smile. The room, previously filled with tension, was now filled with a meaningful silence. Gita and Mada exchanged glances, and without words, they felt the small miracle that had just occurred.

"Gita, Mada, perhaps this is a sign that life gives us beautiful moments amidst difficulties," the mysterious man spoke with his soft voice.

Gita and Mada, now united by the magic of the music, smiled at each other. They realized that sometimes, life brings small surprises in unexpected moments, offering the opportunity to savor the beauty and depth of emotions.

The mysterious man left the coffee shop with light steps, leaving Gita and Mada with changed feelings. They realized that the argument, despite its tension, had led them to an unforgettable moment of togetherness. Music had become the bridge strengthening the bond between them, and the small surprise made them realize that love and happiness could emerge in the most unexpected places.

Several weeks passed, and the mood of Gita and Mada still felt heavy. Each tried to go on with their lives, but the shadow of the argument lingered. Gita held onto her belief that love and happiness were paramount, while Mada focused on his career with determination to achieve success.
