Not as Beautiful as His Love Poems
Not your soul mate

"Hm, hm, hm... " Lena hummed cheerfully as she combed her hair in front of the mirror. The sound of a car entering the house across there. Lena rushed to the window to take a peek at the Sultan who was coming home from work.

"Home home" he said and took the books he had put on his desk. While passing through the living room, his father and mother who were watching TV were amazed to see him.

"Where are you going on these nights, Len?" asked his father confused.

"You want to do the same job, Sultan" replied Lena cheerfully.

"Would you like to learn that?" asked Pak Hadi confused towards his wife. Seeing Lena looking neat and a little dressed up. Madam Mila just shrugged her shoulders while sighing.

About half an hour, Mr. Hadi and Ms. Mila who were still busy watching TV, were amazed to see Lena who came home crying.

"Well, why else, Len?" ask Mr. Hadi confused and worried.

"It's hard, yeah." replied Lena as hiccupping as she ran into her room.

"Is it so difficult to cry?" asked Mr. Hadi was very confused towards his wife. Madam Mila looked confused as well.

"Lena... Mom came in, yes, " said Miss Mila while knocking on Lena's room door. He went in and found Lena crying while wiping her tears. His hand held a small box in his lap.

"What's wrong with you, son?" mom Mila asked while sitting next to Lena, on the side of Lena's bed.

"Mothers... Huweee... " Lena took away her mother's arms.

...***...

In the campus earlier, the lecturer gave tasks to do at home. So, tonight I plan to study with Kak Sultan. While mode too. Hey, he... I've been getting a little dressed up and trying to look attractive. To the extent that my father and mother were confused to see my behavior.

From leaving the house to crossing the street, I hummed. I rang the doorbell and was greeted by Bu Raisa, the Sultan's mother.

"Assynoltom... "

"Waalaikum... Oh, Lena... You want to study with the Sultan, huh?" ma'am Raisa asked kindly while looking at the books Lena brought.

"Yes, aunt. His Sultan's brother has gone home, right?" asked Lena pretended not to know, but she had already peeked at the Sultan who came.

"Yes. Come on in." said Ms. Raisa let Lena in.

"Where are the Maya, auntie?" ask Lena suddenly.

"They're in their room. Wait a minute, Len. The sultan's taking a shower."

"Yes, aunt." said Lena while sitting in the guest room.

"Oh yes. Aunty.. don't bother, yes." Lena told Ms. Raisa not to serve anything. But too late, Ms. Raisa had brought him a tray of drinks and a small cake. Along with that, the Sultan also came out wearing casual clothes and slightly wet hair because he finished bathing.

"Tante lives first, yes." said Ms. Raisa after finishing putting treats for her guests.

"Yes, aunt." said Lena cheerful. Smile at the Sultan. The Sultan's face looked sour.

"Hhh... Which one would you like to ask?" said the Sultan calmly while sitting across from Lena, even though he was actually ogah-ogahan.

The Sultan is smart. He could always answer things that Lena did not understand. It is not wrong again, because of the intelligence of the Sultan, Ardan asked him to work in their family company. The Sultan also had a very important position there. With the existence of Ardan, coupled with the existence of the Sultan, the company can grow even more rapidly.

Because of the preoccupation with seeing the Sultan who is still seriously explaining, Lena unconsciously daydreams to see him. The conscious Sultan Lena did not listen to his explanation and instead daydreamed, stopping his talk.

"Like brother... Oops!" Lena involuntarily muttered and immediately closed her mouth.

"What?"

"No, brother. I didn't mean to say I liked my sister... Oops!" close his mouth again. Glanced Sultan, of course the person in front of him put on an unhappy face.

"What's on your mind? You can say you like other people, while you've been betrothed to your parents."

"Sorry, Len. But this time I must be firm with you." Inner Sultan.

Lena's eyes widened, not expecting to suddenly hear a rude speech from the Sultan.

"Your parents have had a hard time setting you up. You should understand that it's for your own good. You should have followed their will. Especially dad. Just so you know, you're still lucky your father was alive after the accident. As for me, I had to lose the figure of the father that I loved because of the accident as well. You're lucky, Len. Follow what they want." said the Sultan.

Lena speaks a thousand languages. He looked at the Sultan with pain that infiltrated his heart.

I'm rejected.

This is what I'm afraid of. I remember about Alika. Alika who was immediately rejected by Bram this afternoon. Now, I really know how she felt back then. Be ill...

Because of my heart pain, I immediately stopped studying and rushed home. I almost fell because I tripped on my own leg. My death foot is in action. Hiks, I look so pathetic.

My feelings were empty. Unaware these tears just flowed down. Real hard. It was hard to touch his frozen heart like ice cubes. I can't make him melt because he's a stiff freezer tub whose contents are frozen. Could it be that his heart was already cursed by the snow queen?

In fact, I have liked it for a long time. To the extent that I went to high school where he studied first. Anisa and Grace were also dragged along by me. Until I also went to college and took the same major as the one he chose first. He realized that. Why did he reject me? Why would he even say that to me? I just like it, so what's wrong?

Lena was still hiccupping her mother. Madam Mila was only speechless to hear Lena's story while rubbing Lena's head to calm her down. He held onto the poem he had just heard from Lena if it was not made by the Sultan.

"He's not your soul mate, son." said Miss Mila. Lena who heard it, the more tears flowed.

...***...

The Bram family. In the family room, Bram sat leaning on a sofa. His face looked grim, occasionally he could hear a heavy sigh. He remembers Lena again.

Though he had worked hard to calm Lena, but Lena even easily forgot all her sadness when talking about the Sultan.

"Hhh... Maybe he was so. He seemed unaware of my feelings. Who wants to be fooled by him is me, not the Sultan." Inner Bram nelangsa.

Suddenly his mother's voice broke Bram's daydream.

"Bram, look who's coming" said Miss Dona.

"What are the nights coming here, Al?" bram asked in surprise while confirming his sitting position. It turns out that the one who came was Alika.

"I want to apologize about that one afternoon, brother. I didn't mean to say that." said Alika, her face looked very sorry.

"Yes, not papa. But, you should be apologizing to Lena not to me. Don't repeat that"

"Yes, sis." said Alika while nodding obediently.

"Ouch... Alika this. It's beautiful, good, obedient again." said Miss Dona happy while stroking Alika's hair. Alika blushed in embarrassment.

"I'm not like your father's choice of woman. Uh... You like him too. Wonderful mother." said Miss Dona grunt. Bram just stayed quiet.
