The Sign of Love
About Ane

Dion hesitates to tell Ane the real answer. But he then thought that what became the trust of Junda and grandmother of his mother, had nothing to do with him at all. So, had Ane known and conveyed to Relina, it wouldn't have been a problem since the most important thing for her was that they were both fine.

“It's just a myth, for some people strongly believe it is true, but for others it's not necessarily, right?” Dion said in the end while continuing to drive. Ane nodded.

“Iya,” Ane replied as she turned to Dion.

After that Dion also told about the beginning of the birthmark that Junda had. He told me everything without anything covered about his grandmother who trusted him so much that she was afraid that Junda would make a mistake. Until now the old woman forbade Junda close or have free relations with women, who do not have the same sign as her. He was worried that Junda might cause death.

Ane was stunned by what Dion said, until her mouth opened. Ane covered her mouth with both of her hands, she was completely in disbelief. What kind of coincidence is this? His inner.

Ane then thought that Relina had the same, even so striking, crescent-like white mark, but there was also a circular, very large snake-like mark near the elbow of her left hand. All this time Relina always covered it because when the children first, she was always ridiculed by her friends because of the sign. Even now the girl still has the same habit, always wearing long clothes that can cover her hands.

Ane initially just wanted to say that by chance Relina had the same mark, but was undone. At that time he thought it was useless for Junda or his family to know about Relina, because the girl did not like Junda, let alone she would leave and they would not be able to meet again.

At that time the car that was riding Ane stopped and Dion said, “nah, have arrived, I can not take you to the room huh?” Dion still remembers the incident of her being questioned by several mothers in Ane's boarding room.

Ane nodded and got out of the car to pick up the suitcase containing her clothes in the trunk. He had no chance to say anything more, but he understood one thing, that myth, was never the same in every place and community that believed it.

In his native county, Ane had never heard of anything like Dion said. Either because there was no matter telling him, or he did not know. To him the myth he heard was terrifying.

Dion sees Ane carrying her suitcase walking around the car, suddenly feeling unbearable to hurt her heart. Dion got down and took the suitcase from Ane's hand. They walked into the boarding house. Ane let Dion do what he wanted, carrying his suitcase up to the front of the room. He did not want to argue, until he reached the door, Ane opened the key. That's when they came back with a very close position.

“You sure you don't want to follow my offer?” Ask Dion.

Ane nodded, signaling she was convinced, rejecting the kindness and opportunity Dion had given her for her chair.

“So, you still want to work in Junda company?”

Ane nodded again, opening the door wide, taking her suitcase from Dion's hand. But Dion kept him. The man looked to the right and to the left, pulled Ane in and stood behind the door. Just then she stretched out one hand to the back of Ane's head and brought her own head closer, then lowered her head and kissed Ane's pink lips. It was a possessive kiss, as if Dion wanted to suck out his lips.

Ane could not fight back, or it would invite suspicion. Finally he just accepted passively. He inhaled the scent of the man and suddenly he felt comfortable.

‘’Crazy, this is crazy!” pekik Ane in his heart. After a while her breath was almost gone, Ane pushed Dion's body out of the room and rubbed her lips with the back of her hand.

“Thank you, Sir. Already delivered me.” Ane said without looking at Dion's face, as she was very embarrassed and closed the door immediately.

‘What I just did, stupid! He must be angry and will hate me!’ inner Dion.

*****

Relina stands in the port of Merak Banten waiting for the entrance ticket line to the Ferry which will take him across the Sunda Strait, to the port of Bakauheni South Lampung. It is a small strait that separates between two phenomenal islands in the archipelago, the island of Java and Sumatra.

He was about to go home, meet his parents for a while, after which he would go again to Martapura. All the trips he took by bus between cities.

Comfortable circumstances, a pleasant life, not necessarily can be easily, but there is a price to be paid.

Suddenly his phone rang, making him successfully open his eyes again and reflexively he took the flat object from inside his bag. His eyes were wide open when he saw the phone ID that was on his phone screen. It was Junda, at that time Relina turned off her mobile phone. However, his mood became strange, as soon as he finished turning off the phone, his heart became sick.

“For what else he called me, I don't want to go back to work on him!” Relina spoke to herself.

He intends to break his relationship with Junda, to punish him, but strangely his own heart hurts from it.

‘Oh, Lord ... Why am I?’

Almost two hours of time was used to sail across the Sunda Strait. Finally, Relina, set foot on the island of Sumatra or precisely at the tip of the island, namely South Lampung where the port of Bakauheni is located.

From there, he took another inter-city bus to the largest terminal in Lampung Province, Rajabasa. From this terminal, Relina only takes two hours to get to her hometown.

After two hours passed Rina also managed to find a bus that would take her to her hometown, Tanggamus. The village is located on the beautiful mountain slope.

When he was in school, he often went to climb the mountain with his friends. Along with the times, now the slopes of the mountain, has been filled with plantations. Tanggamus looks arid forestnha has been plundered by humans and farmers who open land for plantations.

More than two hours also finally arrived at his hometown. Both his parents also welcomed him with joy but in addition to the welcome, of course, the questions that came were endless. Relina excuses herself because she came home at an unusual time. A year ago, Relina and Ane were going home on a holiday but now it is an unusual time.

“So you've seen your Uncle?” like that Reni said while commenting on Relina's life journey after being fired from her job.

Two women of different generations were sitting together in the living room. His father has not returned from trading, while Royani, his younger brother left with his friends, does not know the arrival of his brother.

“Why didn't you say the same to Mom?”

“I don't want to think of Rally.”

“You're. Continue to consider what your mother if you do not want to be frank with your problems.”

Relina has Ane, she's the place to complain all this time. Although his mother and family were warm people, he still did not want to trouble them.

Relina finally thought positively that her decision to not be frank with her mother over what she was going through, made her have a good experience. He made his own decision to work at Danu's place and it turned out to be the best way because that way, Relina could learn a lot about coffee and could now help that uncle to start his business again.

“I'm sorry, I, Buk. Not that I don't want to be honest with Ibuk, but as long as Relina is still able to handle it on her own, it doesn't feel the burden of the mind Ibuk.”

“What are you talking about?” Renita hugged her child gently full of longing.
