From Brother to Mother (Om Dik )
Friendship

Love is indeed unique, man will never know to whom his heart is tethered. To whom he will make a choice. Just like a man who always believes that he will survive for a lifetime. But who would have thought, that love brought him to a heart that might indeed be destined for him. A heart that welcomes him openly though unconsciously from when.

When Ariawan was an adult man old enough to marry, he once believed that he never had the slightest desire for women. Even he had accepted that he was a homo, but he insisted that the deviant behavior should not be done. Luckily, he was a moral man who did not feel normal. Its nature that remains firm holds the norms of immoral and social should be in the thumbs up. Although he sometimes admired a handsome man around him, but not once he wanted to try to establish a relationship with fellow men.

Today, he admits proudly that he is not gay, he is a man who is in love with a young girl. The girl he used to consider as his responsibility, and he never thought he would be able to have a special taste towards the girl.

He walked down the street with his courage. If he used to be so reluctant to blend in and be so closed to the outside world, then now different, he enjoys everything in this world. His awkward feelings towards women had already vanished since he decided to recover from the trauma. And suppose he is reborn with a new heart, soul, life and hope.

His meeting with the Goddess yesterday that accidentally made Dika even more excited. She was sure that the Goddess was a good girl, and the girl must have been thinking about all her words. Dika will not force, but Dika know that Dewi is not a selfish girl, Dewi will certainly attach importance to her friendship compared to her love for Dika.

" Dad, what was that smile of his own? what the hell is it? " ask Misha curiously.

Currently Dika was accompanying Misha painting in the complex garden, the little girl who asked to paint the scenery there, and Dika happily accompanied her.

" Ah, I'm just happy, can't you? " answer Dika

" That's fine, but Misha feels different Dad" said the little girl who was still busy mixing the colors she wanted to use to paint.

" What difference do you try? " ask Dika

" Well, it's different Dad, Dad, you rarely smile when you're outside the house" said Misha, he already knows how his father, who's not, therefore, if there is something different from his father, then he will immediately ask directly.

" Hemmm, you are indeed Father's Son "Reply Dika who shuffled her daughter's hair with anxiety.

" Ih, my father's hair is so messy "misha's nagging, but Dika responded with amused rascals. Having a daughter is so much fun, she thought.

" Dad, Emmm Mama, how have you been different lately? " said Misha, apparently the girl was also very attentive to Brother who was soon to be her Mama.

When he smiled gently, he understood that Misha was the most with Delia, maybe now the little girl felt lost the cheerful figure of Delia, because for a few days Delia was often alone.

" Mommy's doing a lot of college work, baby, so we have to understand, and I'm sure if your mom has finished her college work, then Mama will come back to play with you, and,, so you're patient well." obviously Dika.

Lucky Misha is a very obedient girl, so it is not difficult to make her understand.

Somewhere else. Delia had rushed to go home, today was so tiring because the lecture from morning to afternoon.

Delia also did not have time to talk much with her friends. And still like yesterday Dewi still ignored him, even though Delia had tried to greet him first.

But, a miracle happened. When Delia wanted to ride her bike and was wearing a helmet. The goddess ran and called out her name.

Delia thought it was just a hallucination. But when the Goddess was right in front of him Delia felt that this was a fortune.

" Dewi, are you running? " ask Delia

The goddess tried to catch her breath

" Huftttt, do you have time? I want to say " said the Goddess with her breath still severed

" Of course there is, where do we talk? " asked Delia, she had already taken off her helmet.

" There alone" pointed Dewi on a wooden bench located right in the campus parking lot.

Delia and Goddess walked together towards the bench earlier. And after they sat side by side, none of them let out a sound for a few seconds. There was still silence between them.

" Ommm, Del "

" Goddess "

" I'm sorry I'm Del, because it's too selfish" said the Goddess finally

" It is precisely I who apologized to you Wi, even though accidentally, I have hurt your feelings" said Delia.

The goddess smiled sincerely. He held his best friend's hand.

" Delia, I'm aware that this feeling can't be forced, that even if you're not going to be Om Dika's wife, there must be another woman who can make her fall in love, and,, My feelings for Om Dika are one-sided, and Om Dika has put a very high limit before I go too far, which means how hard I try to get Om Dika to be interested in me, still, in the end I will be rejected, because basically Om Dika never took interest in me " explained Dewi, even though it sounded so calm, but, but believe me the Goddess is trying to hold the pain in her heart.

But once again the Goddess strives to be mature in accepting all the realities of life. That what we want is not necessarily what we will get.

" You're lucky Delia, to be chosen and loved Om Dika in unexpected ways,,, and maybe you are indeed the right girl chosen by God to accompany Om Dika until old "advanced Goddess again

" Even the wedding was still the Goddess's plan, everything could still change, and I hope you will try even harder, really I am not making sacrifices,,, really,, but I want you to fight for your feelings, maybe one day, Om Dika will open his heart to you" said Delia, she had thought of this before, that he will support Dewi to fight for the heart of Om Dika.

" Then how do you feel, do you not have the slightest feeling towards Om Dika? " asked Dewi, she was a little hesitant with Delia's statement. He was sure if Delia must have a taste of Om Dika, well although not as big as her feelings might be.

Delia was downcast, being asked such a question suddenly made her mute. I don't know why when it comes to his feelings he has no answer.

" Delia, I've given up and been sincere with my feelings, and you don't think about that anymore, you can continue with that wedding plan,,,, you know,, then I will be the busiest person later " said Dewi, the girl is now more cheerful. It was as if he had completely let go of all his feelings and ego yesterday.

" Dewi,, I'm sorry "Delia can no longer speak, this time her tears escaped and she'd run down her cheek .

Dewi and Delia hugged each other. Now they forgive each other and accept each other's destiny. There is nothing more beautiful in this world than friendship.

" Please don't refuse Om Dika Delia, I'm sure you won't find the same man later on" Dewi said after they've taken off each other's arms.

" Yes I know, and maybe I'll reconsider" Delia said

" No more deliberation, do you want a crazy woman like that Dance? "The goddess began to flirt

Delia shuddered in horror at how there used to be such an aggressive woman approaching Om Dika.

" Ish, amit amit deh, let no more such woman be around Om Dika "

The goddess laughed at Delia's shuddering reaction in horror.

" Or do you want a sane woman like me to approach Om Dika? " Dewi blinked his eyes, it felt like he liked to tease his best friend

" Goddess... "

" Therefore, don't be pretentious and refuse, Om Dika that's a lot of incar, so my advice you should be as soon as possible so that you can take care of Om Dika from crazy women like Tari, so my advice is that you should be as soon as possible so that you can be halal so that you can take care of Om Dika from crazy women like Tari, or a sane woman like me, hahahahah "Dewi laughs, it feels good to tease her best friend.

" Alright,, all right... Tomorrow I will take Om Dika to KUA and "reply Delia that makes Dewi laugh more.

Delia was very happy, finally she could see the joy of the Goddess who was like before. A few days without greeting made Delia as if she had no spirit.

But this afternoon, as if everything had returned to normal, the magic sided with Delia. The goddess finally returned to what she was and preferred to express her feelings.

Actually, that was not what made Delia relieved, She missed the cheerful Goddess so much, and her longing seemed to be treated with the presence of the Goddess back at her side.

" Dewi, I love you so much "

" I love you too, Delia.. "
