Not as Beautiful as His Love Poems
At last...

Lena and her parents are at their favorite restaurant. The restaurant of Mr. Ibrahim. They sat at a table with Mr. Ibrahim, Mr. Dona and Bram there.

They're talking about Bram and Lena's wedding. Although, only one person who is silent with a face that looks not like, that is Miss Dona of course.

This afternoon, Lena's father and mother were shocked and happy when Lena decided to accept the match. They immediately contacted Mr. Ibrahim and the man decided he wanted to discuss the wedding tonight. Lena to the surprise, why must the response be so fast.

Now, when their parents discuss the matter of marriage, Lena just fell silent in her place. Bram was sitting across from him. Bram smiled at her, seeing from his face that Bram was very happy.

"Is this right?" inner Lena was worried, suddenly her heart started to doubt.

I've been thinking about it for hours. But, why does this heart still feel pain as well? Is it really okay?

I don't know why this heart is still unwilling. I don't want to let go of the people I love. But, if I continue to hold on, I will also languish.

Everything is like a simalakama fruit. The more persistent I chased after him, the harder it was for me to reach him. But, when I wanted to take it off, I suffered even more. Love is always a dilemma. Some are happy, but some are miserable.

Mommy said, she is not my soul mate. But why is this heart still hesitating? As if there was hope waiting. I want it to be that way too. But what is power. He is not my soul mate.

...***...

This morning, again Bram came home to take me to the campus. His face was glowing, implying happiness. I tried to show him my best smile so he wouldn't be disappointed.

We had breakfast together, ate mother's food that was worthless. I laugh every now and then, hearing the jokes of my parents and him.

But... Is this right?

After breakfast, we say goodbye to my parents. I saw my mom and dad looking at me. Maybe they are overwhelmed?

As he walked out the door, these eyes unintentionally stared at the person. Over there, it just so happens that the person also wants to take his younger siblings who are still in school at High School. He also accidentally looked at me. My heart became bitter.

Is this right?

I saw Brother Bram extend his hand to me. But, this hand hesitated to welcome the outstretch of his hand. Brother Bram looks at me softly, maybe he knows that my heart is still hesitating.

Once again doubt has infiltrated me. Doubt that disturbs the heart. Toying with a heart of pain...

Nah!

I can't be like this. I can't be selfish, because there's a heart waiting here. I have to step forward. I have to strengthen my resolve. I took her hand, she looked happy.

Maybe this is right. Maybe this is what's best for me.

I will take my love off and open a new page with the love that is waiting for me. Tethered and ready to dock.

Oh God, strengthen my resolve. Just one of my doors. I just want to be happy for a new day with him holding my hand.

...***...

On the campus, Lena's friends excited to see Lena and Bram holding hands. His friends immediately surrounded them.

"What's up? He said it was just a friend... But, how about a hand?" anisa smiled with a smile.

Rosi and Emi smiled happily looking at them. As for Grace, she was only silent beside her friends. When he saw Lena, he looked completely wrong. He is the most pail of his mouth.

"We've decided to get married" Lena said with a cheerful smile.

"really? When?" asked Anisa, Rosi and Emi were shocked in disbelief.

"Waaah... Finally. " said Lena's happy friends.

"Sorry, yeah. I can't linger, because there's work. I go first." said Bram while looking at his watch.

"Yes. Be careful, sister." said Lena smiling cheerfully as she waved her hand at Bram. Bram was stunned to see it, his face instantly blushing red.

"Duh, is my face a tomato?" batin Bram panicked while running towards his car. Bram's car is out of sight. Anisa suddenly made a sound.

"Mh... Lena's. You're not papa, are you?"

"I'm not papa. Why are you doing that?" said Lena smiling at her friends who look sad looking at her.

"We were shocked. After that, you suddenly said you wanted to get married that way." said Rosi.

"Did something happen, Len?" ask Emi timidly.

"Hhh... You're these. When I refused the match, you were angry. But when I said I wanted to get married, you were shocked again. There's nothing. I've thought about it. Like you said, maybe this is what's best for me" Lena smiled. His friends smiled as well as saw Lena who was willing to open her heart.

"So, you have to come later" said Lena reminded.

"Of course, we will definitely come" said Anisa, Rosi and Emi enthusiastically.

"Well, Grace?" anisa asked suddenly towards Grace.

"Eh? Oh. I-iya.." replied Grace stammeringly.

"Why are you, Grace? Shut up." said Grace confused.

"Yes too. It's not Grace who's the biggest freak out of us, is it?" ask Emi.

Grace looks misbehaved because Anisa, Rosi and Emi are looking at her with question marks.

"No papa, Grace. You are not wrong. Thanks to you too, I realized that life is not about me. But there are others" said Lena smiling at Grace.

Grace fell silent. A second later, his eyes looked teary.

"Hiks, Lena... Ii'm sorry. At the time, I didn't mean to say that." said Grace. She suddenly started crying while hugging Lena.

"Yes. I know, I know. I'm sorry, too." said Lena, patting Grace on the back. The others were confused to see the two of them.

"Hey, what's wrong? What are you two doing?" ask Rosi to be confused. But, there's no word from Lena and Grace.

"Well, why are you two?" ask Rosi again to Emi and Anisa.

"I don't know, ah" said Emi crying and hugging Lena and Grace. Anisa is also following along. The two of them had no idea what was going on between Lena and Grace.

"Hey, did Grace say the same to you, Len?" Rosi was still asking again, she still had not given up.

"Let's talk about it. Yuk, we're in, yuk. We have class." said Lena calmly as she took her friends to walk into the campus area.

"Well, what is it? What the hell is it? The story now, dong. I'll be curious." force Rosi. But Lena won't say it.

Far away, there seemed to be someone who looked at them hatefully. His face was flushed red, shining when he was angry.

"Could be him. Watch out for you, Lena. I will make your life suffer." he said fiercely.
