One Love Two Beliefs
Very Stuffy

"Abang won't force you, Deck! If that is your decision. Brother will try to understand and take it." Abbas paused his words while taking a deep breath.

"Wish you were happy with the decision you made. Maybe if you were in your position, the same decision would be made. Parents are everything, while peacocks are still healthy we must make them happy before we escape their responsibilities."

Abbas's words made Anna more guilty. Abbas is more prudent to accept his decision. Right now even Anna who felt unwilling to let go.

"I'm sorry Anna, Bang!" that's all Anna can say.

"This is for you! Maybe this is the last flower Abbas can give, because someday there will be someone to replace your brother to give it to you." Abbas offered a white rose to Anna every time he met. Because the white rose is a symbol of purity. Abbas interpreted it as his holy love for Anna.

Anna looked up at Abbas, their gazes met.It was very obvious that the look of sadness was on Anna's face.

"Don't cry, your eyes are getting invisible then." Abbas chuckled as Anna's eyes grew narrower when she cried. So did Anna despite the slight implied smile but Abbas could always shift his grief.

"Help your happiness, Deck! Honour the parents who raised you! Your Papa's choice is very appropriate." Abbas stood up from his seat.

"Abang accepts all your decisions. But, Brother apologizes if removing your name in the heart is not easy. Just one day for you, but not enough time to forget you, Dek! May you always be happy with me!" Abbas cupped his hands in front of his chest, saying goodbye to Anna.

The stern face of Abbas was seen with Anna. But not with her heart still trying to accept Anna's decision. Abbas understood without Anna talking about his situation. Seeing Papa Reno's condition, maybe Abbas will also do the same with Anna.

Abbas turned to leave Anna.

As Abbas walked a few steps, Anna called him.

"Bao... Wait!" Abbas's move has stopped.

Anna removed the hook on the necklace she was wearing. The ring that Abbas gave him felt he had to return. Anna thinks it's precious to Abbas.

Anna walked up to the man who was looking at her still with that look of love.

"It feels like Anna has to give it back." Anna thrusts the ring she put into the necklace.

"Anna is not a woman who deserves it, Anna believes that someday there will be other women who deserve it."

Abbas raised his palm, and Anna placed the ring on Abbas's palm.

Abbas grinned bitterly, hoping to put the ring on before Anna's parents when her sermon was received. Hope is only hope, now with a heart sore and tight in the chest he must accept the reality he can.

They can't be together.

"Thank you, Deck! Forgive you that you've been disappointed all along. Maybe we're not fools. Excuse me brother, Assalamualaikum," said Abbas, bowed and turned and walked out of the cafe without looking back. Since one he turned his head, it would be difficult for him to leave.

Anna put her hand on her chest. It felt like he was squeezed, tight as if he could not breathe at this moment. Seeing the departure of Abbas, the man who until now became the owner of his heart.

Anna was sitting limp on the sofa squeezing her front clothes. Very sick, he could only sob without being able to regret his decision.

Forgive Anna, Bang...

Sorry to disappoint Bang Abbas.

Anna loves Bang Abbas, and whenever your name will always be in Anna's heart.

Anna said in between her silent sobs.

On the other hand just one table away from where Anna was sitting was currently blocked by a bamboo carved wall, a man heard clearly everything Anna was talking to Abbas.

The man smiled bitterly too. I want to get close to Anna. The woman he has liked all this time. Likes his cool attitude, talkative asks him a lot. The teenage girl who always goes with Abi and Umi when picking herself up at the boarding school.

Am I your choice Anna? You choose your Papa wish means you are ready to accept me to replace that man in your heart!

Inner Darren continued to stare at Anna who was sobbing. Darren could see how devastated Anna was after Abbas' departure.

Darren was accidentally at the cafe. Daren came out of Papa Reno's room wanting to catch a quick breeze and buy coffee as the reason. Darren promised to accompany Papa Reno tonight.

Seeing Anna walk into the cafe, Darren thought Anna would come to him but it turned out to be something else. Anna slightly turned to another table. The tables that were positioned right beside Darren, they were only blocked by the bamboo walls. The girl approached a man. Darren knew the man.

"Abbas..," murmured Dareen.

There was no intention to eavesdrop on Anna's conversation. Darren was about to leave from there when his coffee order was ready. But hearing sobs from the girl he likes, Darren sits back down, knowing what he's doing wrong.

Curiosity appeared, especially when he knew the man who was with Anna at the time.

Selfishly if I want you and hope to replace him in your heart.

Darren thought when he found out about Anna's heart. Darren has not yet decided to propose to Anna. He respected Anna's decision to ask her to be patient, because Anna was about to solve a problem first.

Turns out this is your problem. You refused his sermon before accepting my proposal.

Darren understood what was happening. He thought back to Abbas's words with him this morning. Business colleagues who had just signed a cooperation contract with him said, coming to Surabaya while diving drinking water, visiting the construction of his business and picking up his soul mate.

Darren waited until Anna's crying subsided. After that he stood up and approached Anna's table.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Anna!" darren's greeting surprised Anan.

Anna quickly wiped her tears. Though it has dried up, leaving only the eyes moist on her beautiful face.

"Waalaikumussalam," replied Anna nervously.

"Can you sit down?"

Anna nodded slowly. "Please!"

"Is there anything you want to tell me?" asked Darren a little urgently. Though only a question of stale bases, Darren already knew what happened but he did not want to ask Anna directly. Darren wanted to know, Anna who is still the same as Anna who used to be, immediately told him anything.

Anna nodded slowly and looked doubtful.

"Mas Darren still wants to continue this matchmaking?" ask Anna.

Darren furrowed his brows, he thought Anna would tell him about what happened with Abbas. But it turns out another.

"Why ask like that?"

"Anna's application immediately if Mas Darren does, Anna is ready!" cetus Anna's.

"Are you sure of what you said? There's nothing you're hiding from Mas?"

Anna looked up at Darren. Her beautiful face looks so swollen from crying. Darren saw that the joy was gone, the sweet and cheerful look he always got from Anna as if it were not clear. All that is married is sadness and resignation.

Anna shook her head slowly. "Anna's problem is over, now it's time for Anna to carry out Papa's wishes, right?"

Anna was again bowed down unable to show her face for too long.

"If this is your wish, Mas will propose to you soon, Abi and Umi will come to see your Father."

Degs...

Anna's heart had to stop.

He looked up again at Darren.

Just a slow nod that Anna could give to Darren.

So soon I had to bury this feeling.

Bang Abbas's... Forgive Anna..

After this Anna must learn to accept Mas Daren.

Whether you can or not erase your name in my heart, Bang...

Anna held back the tightness in her heart. He must be strong to hold back his tears. Anna didn't want Darren to ask her much.

Anna's patience is a test of love we can't guess.
