A DIVIDED HEART

Episodes 114. William's Engagement

The night is approaching, bringing a life that is actually reluctant to move on. The star has shone alongside the moon giving it a bright color in the boundless sky. I myself was still silent, staring at the red invitation that was now lying on my dresser, once again a rough breath blew, airborne carrying the tightness that I felt. Again I asked my heart, is this true, is this real and am I no longer in love

If asked how my heart is tonight, surely the answer is only one, sick, that's it. But what would I be sick for if at first I was the one who thought too much and bought time, and if anyone asked me what I wanted, I would answer, I just want to repeat that day, the day William asked me to come back to him I will definitely answer yes and I will try to give my best

He was kind enough to accept myself back and even waited for me tirelessly, only I was too selfish and then my selfishness made me sick again

"Agnes!" I heard Dad's voice calling along with the knock on the door

"Log in, Dad. Unlocked" Dad walked in and approached me who was still sitting at the dresser

"Why don't you come down, are you sick?" Dad put the back of his hand on my forehead, he had dinner alone this time, I who was asked to go down since earlier refused to move in even daydreaming unclear

"Agnes is fine, Dad. Agnes had eaten in her office before she came home"

"Yes, rest, you must be tired" I nodded

"Dad" called me to him who had now arrived at my doorstep, he turned his body. I ran over to him and hugged the middle-aged man. I came back crying, the tightness and pain that I felt this morning broke

"What's up, Nes?" I showed Dad the red invitation, he accepted it, read it

"We're just ordinary people, my daughter. We can't decide who we're going to be with, we can only try and the results are decisive. Just accept everything with sincerity, if you are a match then you will be together no matter how but if you are not a match then it will not be forced" Father rubbed my back

"Do you still have feelings for her?" I nodded

"Deliver him, is not the highest point in love is to let the person we love find his happiness, whether it is with us or not. Just pray, may the two be happy with the choice this time"

"It's all Agnes' fault, if only Agnes had been unselfish it wouldn't have been like this" Dad smiled

"There's nothing to blame, you act that way because you have a reason. If you are strong then come and pray for him directly, but if not strong then just pray for him at home"

"But Aira, ah I mean Willy's potential fiancee is our employee, Dad. And I feel bad the day if it doesn't come, surely they'll all think if I can't turn away from William" I said

"Isn't that how it is?" daddy's tease me

"Ayaaaah" and Dad smiled again

"I want to forget it but it's very difficult, Dad" I continued, wiping away tears

"Situation won't change if you don't face it, Nes. If you want to forget everything then come, face this bitter reality before you finally get the sweet thing"

"Think carefully, whether you want to go there or not. Or are we going there together, how?" bargain Dad

I shook my head, "Dad must be tired, even more so tomorrow Dad must also go back out of town again" He nodded and then left my room, I saw the middle-aged man's back, and I saw the middle-aged man's back, he always understood and understood me. I objected to his idea, not without reason but I think he was too tired to face his now hard work, he had to go back and forth out of town to finish a job that I didn't really understand

...*******************...

I was already in the car, I decided to go to William's engagement even though with many considerations that I still count. Doubt is also still in the front row, he still asks a lot of things, my steps are a little stopped and then step back

The house with white paint looks magnificent with two pillars towering on the right and left sides, bright brown lights lined up neatly along the iron fence that surrounded the house and illuminated the spacious courtyard filled with various types of plants and also flowers

I parked my car among the cars that had already arrived at this place. I went down and then tidied up my favorite red dress, I made sure the makeup I was wearing tonight didn't fade by taking a quick look at the screen of my phone that I took from my party bag

I walked into the house, right there in the living room of the house. The living room which has now been fitted with a very luxurious engagement decoration, the entire decoration is silver complete with red roses that are strung with a large enough size and form the writings of William and Aira

In the living room that was quite spacious it was not so many people at the moment, either had not come yet or indeed only those who had come at this event

"Mrs Agnes!" sapa Aira who tonight looks very beautiful, silver long dress and also the matching color hijab she wears tonight, really beautiful and fit in her body

"Thank you, Mom. It was deigning to be present tonight" a happy smile flashed on his face, but he did not realize what I was feeling now. The memories of the past go back to my mind, my engagement event with William was not much different from what I saw tonight

I just nodded and returned his smile, he invited me to meet his parents, I followed and obeyed him

"Include, Mom. This is my father and this is my mother" Aira continued, I then met them. They are very enthusiastic and also look happy, do not forget they also thank you for accepting Aira work and also thank me for wanting to be present at this family event

"Together, Sir, Mom. Aira is a smart girl, though, he was very competent and able to follow what our company asked for and about my arrival at this event is a form of appreciation to the employees in our company that we are all family"

"Thank you once again, it's true that Aira told me that her boss is very nice and also beautiful" praised Aira's mother and I responded with a smile, up to this point I could still endure and stand tall among the people present in this place, although sometimes the mind asked to leave but the heart still wanted to stay. I've been watching this place but I didn't find William, I don't know where he was this isn't the show

"Aira, the show is about to start" the person I was looking for finally found, William approached us all and held Aira's hands gently. William who looks dashing in a suit of color matching with his lover, his face looks clean, his hair neatly arranged and from a distance not too far away I can smell his perfume. Up here I tried to hold on once again

"Let's say basmalah before the evening begins" and everyone says bismillah to begin the sacred evening

"Today's evening ceremony was not only an engagement but also to celebrate Aira's nineteen-year anniversary" Once again I heard the voice, the voice said, a familiar voice, I thought, and when I saw him, it turned out that the one who spoke was Mr. Andreas, he was right by William's side with his wife and a friend of his

Birthday cake with candles forming nineteen figures was now in front of Aira, all speech was thrown from them all. William is no exception, he also gave a gift that is either what it contains, the gift is neatly wrapped in a red gift wrapper in the shape of a heart. I can still hear and enjoy everything loud, although once again the memories of the past are spinning and I also remember if today is also my birthday, a quiet birthday and not even any celebration

"Next, let's see the core events of tonight's series of events. Let's please William and Aira pair the rings from each other's fingers" the two approached and William grabbed a box that he kept in his suit pocket and before long the ring had been attached to his second finger, applause was so boisterous accompanying this

Here, I was no longer able to withstand what I had been holding back since. Finally I decided to leave there without saying goodbye or talking to anyone, I waltzed and drove my car away from the event

Tears suddenly spilled, representing what I felt. I drove my car at the speed of splitting the cold of the night that I thought was hot. From a distance I saw a bright beam of lights and a loud horn echoing in my ear, a second later I faintly heard some people calling my name and shaking my body, next I don't remember anything
