The red car drove through the streets. Both are still silent. Rachel then tried to open the conversation.
" Hem.. Emm.. So look, I can't marry a Dzikra. Because I'm married, and now Dzikra is sick, his legs are paralyzed, he has nothing to take care of, his mother is dead, his father is dead, too, now she lives at home with her stepbrother and stepmother. You must have understood it here."
" Just continue the story, I'll listen to it."
" Okay, so you have to marry Dzikra because at the moment his condition is emotional, very unstable, he can not accept the reality. In addition, the stepparent's treatment of him was not good. How's it?"
Hera only kept her eyes fixed on the road she passed, and sighed. Without looking Hera said:
"You know so much about him, you love each other, why did you leave him?"
Rachel did not immediately answer Hera's question. He stopped the car. Then she turned away a smirk.
" You don't know the business of love. Sometimes love has to sacrifice. Love does not seek happiness."
Hera who heard the statement immediately turned her head, full of question marks.
" We've arrived, let's get down, it'll all be clearer if you get out of the car."
Limb Rachel while pushing the car door.
Hera followed Rachel. They walked into the restaurant.
Rachel walked towards one of the tables that had been occupied by a young man who used a crutches. Rachel greeted the young man.
" I'm sorry to keep you waiting so long."
The young man turned his head, revealing his smile which was returned by a smile by Rachel. Hera who was there was just riveted, her heart pounding, had not seen the young man for a long time. Now the young man glanced at Hera, full of astonishment.
"Why is he coming with you"
Hera was gawking, her heart was completely shocked, and she just gulped and said inwardly.
Whah!! don't let him not know about this marriage. Omoo Rahel, don't embarrass me, if you embarrass me, I won't help you again. Now do I introduce myself or how, God help me.
" Ah she is, you know, this is Hera. He liked you a long time ago, and I think he fits you. You must marry her, this is an order from your mother. And grandfather also asked your brother to find a future wife, according to grandfather you also have to get married."
" I don't think tonight's chat is that, I'm asking for the reason you're married to my sister. Why did you marry her, WHY! WHYWHY! the emotions of the Dzikra enslaved.
" I can't wait, you and your father-in-law had a pretty bad accident on the day of the wedding, and my mother and father didn't want to cancel the wedding. When you were taken care of I was forced to marry your sister. I don't want to disgrace my family if I fail to marry." Said Rachel while sobbing her hands cupping her face.
" OAHARRGH!" dzikra's hands clenched and hit the table hard 'BRUK'.
Hera who had no time to sit just stood in front of the table watching these two lovebirds who were angry. Hera was just silent, her mind was confused, and her stomach had already started to sound.
Kryuk kryuk kryuk
His voice was so loud that the two angry lovebirds glanced at him. Hera who was the center of attention only smiled shyly.
" Emmm hehe, " said Hera ashamed.
*****
Hera ate her food voraciously, as she had not had time to eat dinner after teaching. Dzikra and Rachel remained silent. The atmosphere is very quiet. Hera didn't care about it, she was already quite embarrassed earlier. The silence was solved by the sound of Rachel's cell phone. Rachel grabbed him immediately.
" I think I should go home, my husband is looking for me. Now I have fulfilled my obligation to find you a future wife.This is the request of my mother-in-law and grandfather. I'm sorry I had to go." Rachel grabbed her bag and walked away from the restaurant.
Dzikra once again smashed his hand into the table many times. Make Hera stopped from eating activities. Hera's inner voice just said.
Hera got up from her chair to take care of her meal, but Dzikra glanced at her.
" Where are you going?" Dzikra.
" Mm.. I guess you want to be alone."
" Sit down, finish your food, and we'll talk." Dzikra.
Hera who heard his words, immediately sat back down. Thought Hera: Hmm Dzikra is quite calm too now. Thankfully, I hope he doesn't hit the table again. Then I will eat quietly.
***
The atmosphere became silent as Hera had finished her meal. A word that no one was thrown from Dzikra, he just kept his eyes blank. Hera saw him become pity.
Dzikra was a man he loved very much. The shadow when the High School crossed, he had secretly kept a love letter in his Dzikra. Then Dzikra suddenly sent a message to his phone saying 'I love you Ra'. The sentence made Hera flowery for a week, but after that spread rumors of Dzikra made up with Rachel.
At that very moment Hera was drowning, crying all night. Hera ventured to ask Dzikra the message. Turns out he just misunderstood, Dzikra said what was wrong by saying 'dear', I was just messing around. If we were a soul mate, I would have come to you when I was 25. Suddenly, Hera's daydream breaks down as Dzikra asks a question.
" Where are you now?" ask Dzikra.
" Hm, I became a teacher in a private institution" replied Hera.
" Oh, so. Why would you marry me?" ask Dzikra.
" Em,"Hera could not answer.
" If you have no reason not to marry me. I'm gonna get you in trouble. I have no possessions, the company is held by my brother. I'm an unemployed man. You still want to marry me?" again Dzikra asked and explained his situation.
"Yes, I'll accept it, we can still live, I'm not idle," Hera answered the question without thinking much more.
" Hey, I'll be your husband, I should be able to support you," this time Dzikra was upset.
" Hey, you can work after you've recovered, plus lots of jobs. You don't always have to be a Director or a Boss." Answer Hera.
" uh.. You don't understand. Can you guarantee I'll heal? it's been almost 3 months I've been paralyzed" said Dzikra
" I can't guarantee it, the key is you're sure it will heal" Hera said.
"Alright, I can't guarantee a decent life for you if you marry me. I'm evil, I'm funny, I don't love you either. Let's get married without having to love and we end when we get bored" break up.
" You think marriage is playful" Hera said.
Dzikra mute, silent a thousand languages. His gaze was never directed at Hera who was in front of him.
" In that case, you who made the decision to live with me, do not regret it later," said Dzikra.
" I wouldn't know that regret, if I hadn't tried it" Hera said.
" I'll propose tomorrow." Dzikra got up from his seat. Cuddled by a stick. Hera could only see the young man's back, which was getting further away from him.
Wait Dzikra doesn't know my house how he's going to my house tomorrow.
Hera runs in search of Dzikra but Dzikra's car continues out of the Restaurant Parking. Hera just took a breath..
SERIATE....
