From inside the house, we sat with our parents, while Sani was watching
TV, suddenly the sound of the motor stopped in front of the house, we looked outside who did not know
who came. It turns out that Geral, the male villain I once loved came with everything
the memories that came back brought lightning as fast as lightning struck the entire chest space
it had begun to collapse three years ago and was now again shaken with shock
the book tried to calm me down, though,
“You still think about it, right?” It was a statement, not a question, and was spoken with
a little bit accusing. Sani woke up to see me standing up all of a sudden.
“My sister is always irritating me”. “Well, after all, he's entitled to
accuses. In fact, he has a right to be angry. Only, he wasn't angry.
“I don't know,” I answered honestly.
“Huuuuuuff”. I sighed, then smiled sadly.
“It seems like whatever you do will not be able to remove itself from your heart,
don't you?”. Ask Sani in full Tanya.
“Even after these last few months,
“I've never seen a big brother call with a guy”. He did not continue his words, and
I was silent, they both were silent. I don't know what to answer, because I am
looking for answers hidden deep in my heart. The man entered with
say hello, and we invite him in as a guest would.
“What's the hell you want to come here?” Ask mother gently.
“No buk, want to play, want to see the family situation mom”.
Sani nyaut quickly.”Want to play or want to play Sri?”
The man smiled.
I entered the room and did not want to know about the man. I've been advanced
hurt made him.
But because I was curious, I peeked through the home's fintiling curtains, I willingly climbed up
in the chair just to hear the talk.
“I want to reciprocate Sri buk”. Geral said to my mother at the time. I'm a little listening
geral said, I answered in my heart, from behind the curtain”Enak you just back”, after you rob happiness and leave memories., Honest
indeed, I still love him, until now I have not been able to find his replacement.“.
Right, it was just three years ago, the first time she and I met, when she said
that she likes me, and I confess that I still haven't opened my heart to
whomever. And at that time, he understood. He understands all my past, my fears
the deepest, and my wounds that have not healed.
“And in the meantime, I will accompany you.” he said at the time.
And that was three years ago, three years a long time, after that time he stated
on the phone and said he loved me, after I received him he did
left me with someone else there. Who is not hurt.
I was called by my mother to leave the room for a while.
”Sri, let's come out for a minute, this is son
“Geral wants to see you for a while, he wants to go home he said”. Hearing that, I went straight
exit room. After I left the room, it turned out that Riko, my classmate at the college came
coming home, I didn't know that Riko, coming home that day, he didn't call me before, he said,
I often communicate with Riko, it's just that I don't respond too much.
At that time Riko came alone with flowers in a small bag that he always carried.
Coincidentally, Riko and Geral became close friends during High School, they were one Team in Futsal Pesantren.
Riko, I don't know what it means to come home. Geral and Riko sat down.
“How are you Geral, healthy”. Ask Riko with a smile.
Yes ni Rik, I just returned from Jogja, so some days I'm home, later messing around
home yes?.”
“Siap, Riko's toilet.
Riko is an alumnus where Geral attended college in Jogja, just because Riko's parents moved
the task then Riko more choose to move campus also at STIKES where I am studying now.Geral, with a sad tone to say something serious, said something serious,
“Sri, I want to talk seriously”, in front of Riko he said that, and I feel uncomfortable because
there's Riko there.
“I want to reciprocate with you Sri,”. I was silent and Rikopun did not comment much. I'm sober
from the very first time deciding to get into a relationship with him will only be full of
wound. There is nothing good about this relationship. Love is too blinding, and this
a story that goes on for a long time.
My meeting with Geral happened about six years ago. I'm a funny new student
funny thing. Admiring him for being able to play ball, you could say he hates me (this is a confession
from Geral himself). I'm not sure since when our relationship turned into
dangerous, perhaps from that moment the closeness with Geral begins.
Segabai single girl who has long not established closeness with any man, seduction
and Geral's crush feels intoxicating. Even with the awareness of Geral's status
in fact, a futsal player does not make me afraid to retreat. I was hypnotized
by him. I asked Geral why he wanted to play with me. He answered
don't know. Maybe it was because of my jutek nature that he felt challenged. I retaliated with
kidding, maybe karma because you hated me so much in the beginning. Geral just laughed
and turned the question to me.
“What made you want to accept me?”. I was silent for a moment, and just answered
“I don't know how love works, but I've fallen deeply in love
you”. Connecting with Geral is not easy. We have to be good at hiding, though,
dating secretly, even pretending to be ordinary when in the cottage. In the beginning
the beginning of my closeness with Geral, I harbored guilt towards Riko After all
I was a woman. Who knows the man who likes me. I can imagine how much
it hurts Riko to know our relationship. That was what I had in mind at first.
The longer he knew Geral, the more he displayed an attitude of disharmony
relationship . Geral has often fought with me. The classic, the problem of dissatisfaction
financially. Sometimes I get confused as to what the story should look like. If you want to be honest, my little hat is excited to hear the story. I dreamt of being able to
someone who is proud. But my lips always spoke differently in front of Geral. I
always smart-ass advising Geral. But for the last three years we lost contact not
never got in touch again, and now suddenly come saying want to reciprocate, the sense is still
so sore. That's how my relationship with Geral repeats itself every day. Till news
it came like a storm in my heart.
Geral diYogyakarta's,.Sad for sure, but I can't do anything either. I
asking Geral will be taken in which direction this relationship is going. In the end we agreed
ended it. I don't want to, however much I really love
Geralds. I let her go.
Do you think that this story ends here, of course not. I
I feel destiny is playing me. He called me back, and told me, I
I felt like I was going crazy for a long time with this situation. He's the last three years he's never
calling me, until he suddenly came looking for me. I asked why, Geral just said he was
missed me. What I can do when he says that. I realized deep inside my heart,
I miss Geral too.
When distance is no longer a barrier, my encounters with Geral are not very frequent, Still
I have to be careful. Geral often reasoned overtime to me.
Suddenly today came. I was surprised because suddenly. At home he just
shut up and hug mom tight. I know she's crying because mom's shoulder looks wet. I
waiting for Geral to calm down to tell me, I was at a loss as to how. And
we heard Geral's story. He regretted leaving me alone, but whatever he was
tell me right now, I don't trust Geral, she betrayed so cruelly, she said,
After hearing this story, I cried? Of course not. I'm more overpowered
emotion. I was angry at Geral with all his hypocritical words. More than that I am angry at
myself who had foolishly been immersed in endless love for so long
almost seven years. I relayed my message through Riko, not once did Geral dare
to look for me, anytime. And it's true, between hate and love it's so thin.
For Geral, you started it until you finally loved me. Now I'm going to end up loving you until I finally hate her. Because Riko doesn't feel good
with Geral, Riko undoes her intention to tell her what she meant.
But soon after, Riko asked for permission to go home early and said,
“I'm going home,” while greeting mom, and I saw a little paper fall down
his seat, the paper fell as Riko stood up. And Riko didn't know that the paper was falling.
I intend to take it after Riko and Geral get home.
“Sorry mom, I have to go first. Hopefully tomorrow if there's time I can play here,”
He muttered softly while tossing a piece of paper onto the table in front of me. I
glanced slightly. A printout of his return ticket, with three hours to go. I
gasp, but don't react. I know because Riko's father is a soldier, so
Riko follows wherever her father is on duty and moves on. Our college is going to be over, though,
just waiting for Graduation. So not worried, will not interfere with college because
indeed I'm finished, just waiting for Graduation.
“Ya, son Riko, be careful on the road.” Said mother while patting Riko's back slowly and mother
go straight into the house.
Not far from the courtyard of the house, Riko turned towards us because she heard Geral ask
Then Geral asked me, “Will you return it to me?”. The pain was too painful just
to forgive the mistake he made, I fell into the valley of his love by two
kali, and I don't want to be the fool that goes in three times. Whatever he is
tell me, bow down even if I don't care. I told Geral to just go home
“Just go home Ger, free.”
“I want to sleep, please go home”
“Your words are stale, I'm tired of hearing them from your lips. “
“Better you just go home” I said loudly. And finally Geral came home.Hard Geral asked me to reverse, Riko was still standing there, looking at me, maybe half
I wish I would stop him from leaving. And refused Geral's request, but I didn't
prevented it. And I also did not accept Geral's request. Maybe he already knows, because
like me, he also knew that I was a proud man, who sometimes
act not on logic or the heart, but on the ego.
For a few minutes he was silent, silent like that, then finally he picked up again
the sheet of paper prints out his plane ticket, then steps towards the door and exits.
Geral also took part at that time also along with the departure of Riko. We shake hands and
pray for each other's happiness. Geral's been at his house a week, maybe
during the week Geral would often stop by the house. They both left
each's place. Without ever turning around.
And during that time, for two hours I just kept quiet, it was unclear what I was thinking. I
start to remember, lifting the paper that I had seen falling. I read the paper, though,
Again, my ego wins. In fact, I'd love to say that I don't want him to leave, though,
I'd love to take that printout sheet and throw it in the trash can, I
she wants to stay here and be with me. Something feels wrong with
riko's departure. It's not that his departure means I'll never see you again
with him. We can still send each other e-mails, phone calls, even I could
catch up with him if I want. Merely, will my ego allow me to do so?
Would I be able to dare to call her first, send her an e-mail
mail first, ask how you are doing first? Because all my knowledge of me
on its own, the answer is no. And as far as my knowledge of him is concerned, he may
I have given up the one who is unable to accept it only because of a wound in the
the past that I have not been able to heal.So, why do I feel as if there is a large rock that clogs
my esophagus? Why do I feel like I want to cry, which hasn't been for years
I do, since I understand that love can also destroy? Why I want to
ran after him, saying I didn't want him to leave, begging him to stay..
You see, there's no way, right, I'm in love not with someone I've only known for six months
the past. I've known Riko since High School, only he just communicated
intense with me since six months ago. It can't be, right,
There's no way I'm going back to Geral, he always doesn't have time for me, and I don't
too often hurt by her, she disappeared for the past three years.
After I thought about it I'd better fall in love with that person every day
asking for my news, every day accompanying me to chat, vent, or just simply
send SMS good morning and good night. People who know me more than I do
by myself, know what my favorite foods are, my favorite colors, and my favorite movies are. Persons
always answering my phone even at three in the morning, which always worked for me
smile with his jokes even when I'm sad and want to cry, then
proudly said, ”You see, I can always make you smile, right?”
I mean, what the hell, is special about all that? Nothing, right? So why do I feel no
comfortable like this?. Two hours later, I began to realize that there was a piece of paper that I had
pick it up from under the table, and I go into the room and read the paper I have on my shoulder.
In shock, I read it with wide eyes, eyebrows raised up, heart
thumping fast, hands feet shaking, blood rushing “will you merry me” the writing
it made my life feel happy instantly.
I swore in my heart, grabbed my motorbike key, then ran out. Hope so
plane's late. Hopefully the check-in queue is long. Maybe he looks a little
suspicious, maybe the name is a bit smelly *****, maybe the trunk is stuck by the officer
safety. I half expected the razor to be one of the sharps that was forbidden
to bring. But finally he left too, It's been two hours that Riko's plane still hasn't left, without thinking long me
take the motor that is behind the house, clothes are not replaced, jacket is attached upside down, and,
“nak, what's up, why rush?”. Mother's question I don't mind either. I'm gas-tapping
motor and go to the airport. Thirty minutes from home to the airport,
once at the airport I ran no longer care for many people, running through the crowd
the person, sticking his head out onto the monitor screen showing the departure, lengthens
neck to look around for someone who wears a black shirt and colored trousers
khakis. There aren't.
Desperately, I looked towards the monitor, seeing that schedule
the departure of the plane he was boarding was flickering, saying “boarding”. I
swearing again in the heart. For the next ten minutes I remained wandering indefinitely
direction, until I finally heard a noise, indicating the plane he was riding already
takeoff.
I opened my eyes, trying to hold back the tears that were about to fall. You see, people
with an ego like me it is forbidden to cry in public, right? Though it seems my heart wants to
screamed, and my steps grew heavier. Slowly, my sight was obscured by the water
eyes that start to float. I reached into the bag and realized that I had forgotten
carrying my sunglasses. Why does this day seem so bad to me? I tried
remember the date and day; is today the seventh day of March ?
Then suddenly, someone behind me called, “Hey,”
A voice that I know very well, a voice that belongs to someone who always answers
my phone was even at three in the morning, which always managed to make me smile with
his jokes even when I was sad and wanted to cry, then with pride
said, ”You see, I can always make you smile, right?”
With fear and disbelief, I turned around.
And there he stood, smiling at me, the man in the black shirt and the trousers
coloured ash.I unconsciously stepped towards him until the distance that separated us stayed
several meters. I looked at her in disbelief, and damn, the tears that had been hard since
I finally fell too. Strangely, I don't care. I really don't
cared. At that time, everyone around us, and the fact that we were in
the airport, and I was crying in public, completely forgotten by me.
There is only him and me. There is only us.
He smiled again, and shrugged and lifted the flower he brought back
say ”Will you be my last happy?.
I smiled, and laughed hoarsely.
Then he opened both arms. And I ran towards him.
Unknowingly, I hugged her, Riko who I always ignored now became my last happy.
Riko did not follow her father, but Riko proposed to me in front of my mother and my father at that time
aslo.
That day turned out to be very happy, I thoughtlessly accepted straight away
her proposal, because I know, Riko's been after me for a long time but I didn't pay attention to it,
his attitude and actions I know, Riko is a good boy, I have never heard of
she was dating someone else, so now love grows for her. We didn't
rush in finding a life partner, but also do not just sit still to
wait around. We do not rely on our own efforts, but also involve God in
every process. The first thing we need to do is to pray. Praying
we believe and put our desires under God's feet. When we
pray and express what you want, there will be joy that comes. Praying nonchalantly
it means that we who hope to have this soul mate only pray and stay at home. Prayer and
ask God to take us to the right people. The way God is so unable
guessable. There are people who can mate while in angkot. Someone has met with
his soul mate at the airport.
Ask God to guide us every step of the way in our search for this life.
Surely, God will provide many opportunities for us, until finally we find someone who is right for us. We allow God to guide us
the journey of our lives, He will lead us to the right people, at the right time
and at the right time. Marriage is a sacred relationship. When we
liking the opposite sex without maturity in the heart, then this relationship can turn into
an unhealthy relationship. Waiting is necessary if we are not ready to move
towards the wedding. To get a partner, we need patience, also wisdom to be able to
know this guy. Again, always put God in the first place in life
we're. Correcting our relationship with God first is a step we must take
do it before we finally know the soul mate. Because we know very well that humans can make
we're disappointed. Our soul mate can also be disappointed.
However, if we put God above everything, even our spouse
it is disappointing, believe that God will give you joy and peace
in everything we do. . ⁇
