The Sign of Love
Junda Save


Relina nodded, while Junda was speechless with unmoving eyes from staring at Relina. He did not believe what he heard and considered the words of the woman before him to be mere jokes.


Instead Relina was very serious about her wishes, she guessed that maybe Junda had already thought about this before. He approaches Relina, while the confidant of his family marries a woman who does not have the same mark as him.


“Marriage is not a game,” said Junda showed its seriousness.


“I know, then are you worried about your family?”


“Not like that.”


“Then what is it like?”


“How about your family.”


Relina picked up her bag that had been lying next to her. “My family is fine. They will agree with my decision. I got married and I got married, not them. Why worry?”


He took a cell phone and a book, out of the bag, then looked at some events, meetings, reviewing projects and others. All of Relina's schedules are self-constructed by adjusting her work and coworkers.


The matter of going out and marriage should indeed be discussed together, therefore Relina should find the right time to visit both her parents. Outside of all of that schedule.


Relina frowns on reading all the agendas, she will have time to go to her hometown in about three months. He let out a long sigh while looking at Junda who was still fixated, it seemed like the man was thinking very hard.


“What do you think? I have about three months to go home, and it's still a long time ..” said Relina showing a sad look on her face.


Junda rubbed Relina's cheeks gently, pondering about her decision to comply with the wishes of the woman she loved. He remembered his journey to get to this point, where by his free will they could be together without the usual quarrels.


Even now, Relina calmly invited her to marry, at a time when she was desperate and decided not to marry anyone even though she wanted the girl to be her lover.


Junda was once determined to have a serious relationship with, because she loved Relina, but also loved Shasi. His grandmother had sacrificed a lot to be with him all this time. He did not want the old and now sick woman to suffer any more.


“I know, you think of Grandma, right? Calm down, I'm just proposing and not maxing you out. I thought we could get married without your grandmother knowing. That's also if you really mean it.”


Junda was in a dilemma now, everything Relina said was true, it would all be easy if she meant it. His heart returned like two horizons that were split in two. One side wanted Relina regardless of the myth as well as her Grandmother, on the other hand she did not want to make Shasi sad because of her.


“Good. Comeing! Let's try to make a plan. In three months I'll come with you home. How?” Finally that was the best sentence Junda could say. Yes, why not try to start and plan something instead of continuing to resign without doing anything?


Just plan, set targets and dreams, and with what happens in the future, it is by God's power. If in the end all is not realized, maybe God does not want to.


Relina nodded and smiled satisfiedly.


“A minute, yes.” Relina left Junda alone in the room. He went to the restroom because of something he had to finish immediately.


While Junda enjoyed the drinks provided at the table while circulating his gaze. Suddenly her eyes rested on Relina's agenda book on the table. He smiled because he thought the girl was careless already letting the note go.


‘Ck! Is he not afraid of people's agenda books'


His eyes suddenly narrowed, as on one sheet where he saw his name written there.


‘Save Junda, what does it mean?’ thought Junda as he flipped through the Lembata and no other record gave any hint of the meaning of the writing.


‘Did she think I'd be gone, but why?’ thought again.


Relina returned just as Junda closed the agenda book and made Relina smile shyly to the man who dropped the view like he was expecting a fret.


“Are you done?” ask Junda ketus.


“Ya,” answered Relina briefly and sat down beside Junda, looking at her agenda book in hand.


“Now explain what this means? Do you think I'll be gone now?”


Relina certainly did not understand what Junda said, until she furrowed her brows while taking her agenda book from the hands of the man sitting beside her.


“What should I explain?” said. He felt he had written nothing, which could offend Junda. He quickly picked up and looked at the book sheet by sheet, who knew that there was something left behind or indeed he wrote something that offended someone.


Junda showed the sheet on which his name was written.


“This?” rina asked when she saw the writing that Junda meant. “Inj is nothing, I just ...”


“I don't need you to save! I am not a child or a weak person who needs help!”


Relina wrote those words when she heard the mythical tale of birthmarks on Junda, which was thought to bring misfortune. Then spontaneously he wrote it down as empathy and a reminder that the man did need help.


Yes, help in the form of immaterial that can make the man no longer despair in relation to women. No alibi can save his family's trust.


Relina almost shed tears as she saw Junda standing up, rising from her seat. He felt that there was nothing wrong in his writing. Moreover, he had not explained anything about the writing to her.


Actually it is an expression that he is ready to be a lover and wife, if Junda really mean in loving him. To him a myth is a myth and about the truth, no one can be sure of it.


It all depends on the fate and destiny of God, even if they are destined to be together then whatever myths get in the way will mean nothing.


Junda stepped out while wearing his helmet, and said. “On me loving you, forget it. Assume I never said it. Especially about marriage ... That will never happen!”


After saying so, Junda left Relina just like that.


From the window of the room, Relina stared at the departure of Junda who left the house by riding his big motorbike, at high speed.


‘Maybe not a match. Ah ... Forget it’
