30 Days of Pick Up a Mate
Disconnecting

"Then let me keep this love in my heart, forever" Okky pulled Kina's hand still on her cheek, kissed it, then placed the palm on her chest. Until Kina could feel Okky's heartbeat beating fast.

"Don't forget, God is turning back the hearts of men"

"Yes, I will bear the pain of this feeling, until Allah uproots it. Pulling out this feeling or taking my life first" he sighed, "Ki, what do you think, all parents assume that they are free to determine their child's way of life?"

"Everything that parents do for their children must be well-intentioned, it's just that sometimes they forget, forget to ask whether their child is comfortable or not, happy or not. Sometimes we as children forget, forget to think about the feelings of our parents. Acting as we please, walking as we please. We forget, there are them, our parents that we have to take care of their feelings. Man is wrong and sinful, but we have God to shelter, sigh and lean on. What determines our lives is not parents or anyone else, but God, fully the power of Allah azza wa jalla "Kina breathed a heavy sigh. He remembered his relationship with the father that was getting further away.

"You know, since I was a child, I was never allowed to have my own life. Dad always forced his wish, everything had to be as he wanted. Sometimes I'm angry, rebellious, but I can do anything but obey even by force. I need them, I can't stand on my own feet yet, I need the facilities and comfort they provide for me. You know, I used to be quiet crying, wanting to go karate, like my schoolmate. At that time, I was still Junior High. Dad won't let me, he says I don't need to be strong, I just need to be smart. Because I'm a candidate for leader, not a bodyguard" Okky smiled blandly, at a glance given how hard his father was on him.

"But inevitably I have to thank my father, for his hard upbringing, I can look after and protect the company and the two women I love so much, he said, after my father left us, we arrived. When friends my age are busy love, busy looking for friends, busy hanging out, I've been busy with corporate affairs. People are amazed to see me, he says I'm great. They don't know, it's like dying, giving up, if they don't remember Okta and Mommy hanging their lives on me" Kina rubbed Okky's arm, she was amazed at the man.

"But you're great, my one-day boyfriend is really cool. I became proud of myself, could make a man as great as Mr. Okky fall in love"

"After this, I will give my life to Mother. I'll do everything he wants. I. I belong entirely to the mother" Okky lowered her head, she cried. Kina hugged him, rubbed his back. "Thank you for this one happiest day Ki, I love you"

"Yes, same" that was all Kina said.

Like a dream, the love story ends one sweet and bitter day.

……

Okky went home to her parents' house, walking in a shunt. His soul has been considered dead, now lives his body that is ready to be controlled by his mother in full.

"Sister..isn't okay?" Okta approached the listless-looking Okky, causing him to worry.

"Mother is?" ask Okky. He ignored Okta's question.

"So, you've eaten?Want anything?"

Okky stroked Okta's cheek, "No, thanks. What's your content, healthy right?" he looked at his sister's big belly which looked funny.

"Alhamdulillah be healthy sis"

Okky and Okta walk hand in hand, towards the living room where their mother is. Okta just kept glancing at her brother who was silent like a zombie. Her chatty, nosy sister and likes to invite her to argue to make pregnant women upset, now changed. He was silent, his gaze was blank, his face grim.

"At last you go home, here sit, mother wants to discuss about your marriage with Erika. Remember, you've agreed to marry Erika you know, don't make Mother disappointed"

"Whatever makes you happy, I will. Whatever it is, my life belongs to the mother" he said. He's resigned, won't fight.

"Sister.don't do this. Mother, please don't force Okky's sister" Okta clasped her brother's hand.

"She's perfect for sister, Okta" Okky smiled blandly

Okta shook her head, her eyes glazed over. "But brother is not happy, I know brother forced. Mother, pity brother, he has sacrificed a lot for our family" Okta cried bitterly. Crushed his brother's body and hugged him tightly. "Sister has the right to be happy, sister must be happy" he said with sobbing sobbing sob.

"Okta's heart, you're pregnant" Okky hugged her back.

"Sister loves Kina right?" whispered in Okky's ear

"Ssttt"

"Not very polite anyway, there are mothers but you whisper whispers"

Okta did not say, he chose to return to the room. He wanted to spill his tightness, imagining the feelings of his older brother, who could not be with the woman he loved

"What the hell is that kid, so sensitive" murmured the Queen Mother. "So, when are you ready to propose to Erika. Mother had said the same diana, Erika's mother. They accepted this match. Erika is in love at first sight with you. How not to fall in love, the mother's son is handsome and dashing like this"

"Have the job title and money too" Okky added, with the intention of insinuating.

"Erika is not a matre girl, her family is not as rich as us. But he sincerely accepts you. You'd be proud to have a wife as beautiful as her, people would envy you"

"Yes, everything you said must be true. Because you want me to be happy" Okky again quipped.

"Have you eaten?"

"It has. Okky can rest?"

"Kok ask that, if tired yes rest there, since when should rest should permit mother?"

"Since this moment, because my life belongs to my mother" Okky moved on, leaving the Queen Mother confused. His son is not as usual. His words were full of satire.

"Is it true Okta said, Okky is unhappy? So she really loved her secretary, but I didn't want Okky to marry Kina. I don't want Kina to rule Okky, I don't want Okky to forget about me. Yeah, Erika's much better. She's also very considerate of me" Suri monologued. Trying to find a justification for what he forced on his son.

Okky spread her body, looking up at the sky room. There is no spirit in him. Even just to take a shower and change clothes he was reluctant.

Kina has been like a part of him.how not, the girl was with him most of the time for the past two years. Managing all his needs, being a friend to confide in, being a friend to discuss, there are times when happy or difficult. There was always a quinine at every step. So, it would not be easy for him to remove the name of an Okina Princess from his life.

Not long after, Okky's eyes began to close. Dreams in the tiredness of life. He really slept without changing his clothes.
