The Sign of Love

The Sign of Love
Proposing


Junda drove his car at high speed, passing through crowded streets without thinking about his own safety. He was worried that something bad happened to his father, he was not ready to lose again this year.


For a loss, in any form, anyone, will never be ready.


When she heard her mother's voice from behind the phone saying about her father's health, Junda immediately left the living room of her apartment and Relina just like that.


Junda said nothing to Relina who looked worried to him, but she kissed the woman's forehead softly without awkwardness despite being seen by her future in-laws.


Taking a long trip to Jakarta, is a matter that requires patience and draining especially if not for facing congestion.


Arriving at the private hospital where Atmaja was treated, Junda stunned his body on a sofa not far from the bed. His father looked slumbering, while Felia-mother, he continued, was still enjoying lunch.


Between two people of the opposite sex were silent, no one tried to start a conversation because they were not close to each other. Junda closed his eyes, while continuing to hope that his father would be fine.


“Your father is too worried about you, his mind branched between work and your plan to get married, his high blood is relapsing,” said Felia after she finished eating and dumped her lunch packaging box in the trash.


Junda gave a quick glance, at the woman who was only a few years older than him. He disliked Felia, ever since Atmaja introduced the woman as a future wife, to Shasi—his grandmother while still alive.


According to Junda, the woman was too young to be with her father. Therefore, the two consider Felia to be just a prankster looking at wealth alone.


What is the meaning of Junda's blessing is very young, at that time and certainly different from Shasi, his grandmother agreed. He is only a former in-law, since the daughter who became Junda's mother died, then all the affairs of Atmaja is no longer his business.


Junda straightened his back and turned his head, while taking a breath he said. “So, all my fault, so according to Auntie?”


Felia smiled wryly and said, “No, I don't blame you, but I just .. ah, that's it. You definitely can't understand and always accuse me, right?”


“It was clear earlier Aunt said dad thought a lot about me so his high blood relapsed!”


“Not so, Jun ...” Felia said softly and slowly but Junda was still staring at the woman with the gaze of a thousand swords.


“Then?”


“I said this too because there is a reason, your father often said worried about you, he just kept repeating the same word.”


“Yes, yes it's all my fault!”


Felia opted out of the room, rather than fussing with Junda. The gentle and friendly woman also did not know how to talk to Junda, who actually loved her like she loved her own child. It's just that Junda already hates him.


The running time felt so slow even though it passed a few minutes since the arrival of Junda. Atmaja woke up afterwards and he smiled as soon as he saw Junda sitting nearby.


“You're here?” said Sanga the father whose several strands of hair had turned white.


“Dad why?”


“I'm good, just need a break. Your mother was too worried about me, so she took me to the hospital. He doesn't want me to get sick. You know, right, she always was.”


Atmaja like promoting his wife, even though such things are not liked by Junda. To him, his father's words compare his dead mother. But the purpose of Atmaja is, so that Junda loves his mother.


Junda throttled, then said firmly. “But he said dad got sick because of me!”


“Yes, I know what you mean. Let Junda say that. I did think of this kid.”


Atmaja tried to sit down and Junda helped him. The two men continued their conversation about Junda's plan and the woman named Relina. While Felia just sat quietly on the sofa without wanting to get involved at all with Junda's affairs. Whatever she thought, her husband's son would not listen to her.


Junda feels that his soul mate is near, he believes God deliberately brought him to Relina. Their meeting was always colored by events that drained Dami of energy and emotion, but it seemed like that was the goal.


From the beginning of the story of their closeness and all that happened, finally made Junda conclude that between himself and Relina need each other and if they are united then they will experience a different fate. Especially after knowing the similarities that exist, the man felt not alone living in a world with such strange signs.


Atmaja laughed loudly at the end of their conversation, even though he was sick. The man looks radiant.


“Why didn't you tell me from earlier? Ahk .. so it seems. Hurry up and apply for him.” Atmaja said enthusiastically after stopping laughing. In his heart the man regretted, had he known so much about Relina, then he would not have behaved so catically to the girl.


“Dad, she's still sick. Dad also needs to heal first.”


“Ahk, don't think Dad. When are we going to his house? Don't be long, I don't like you staying your company anymore!”


“Yes. I'm healing fast. The house is far away,” said Junda.


“Where?”


“Lampung!’


“Hmm ...”


Junda did not stay the night, though, Atmaja asked for it. The reason was, he wanted to make sure Relina's return the next day, not having any obstacles. He had prepared everything, including providing a vehicle that would deliver them home.


When Junda arrived at the rental house, it was late at night. He did not wake anyone up because upon entering the house using the spare key, he found everyone already asleep.


Junda laid himself on a long sofa, although quite large, but still not enough for his body that is high beyond the length of the chair. Tired of suffering, in a day of traveling, driving his own car, commuting between the city of Bogor and Jakarta.


Although, hunger was like squeezing his stomach, no he cared because drowsiness and fatigue were more domineering, thus making him fall asleep quickly.


When Relina woke up the next day, she saw Junda who was soundly asleep on the sofa. Pity followed his eyes because the man seemed uncomfortable with the curled position adjusting the narrow place and not according to his size.


The girl stroked her cheek gently as she worriedly woke her up. He stared at the innocent-looking face as it closed, enjoying the beautiful and handsome scenery that had already made him fall in love in memory.


Without Relina noticing, Junda opened her eyes slowly and she smiled seeing Relina kneeling looking at him in a very close distance.


"I know you love me," Junda's sudden remark made Relina surprised.
