A Friend From the Past

Section 18

“Elin marry Angga “ says Dirman's father suddenly

“What do you mean talk like that” asked Elin who was still shocked by the father's words

“dayah know Elin there is a Nabil mas well, and Elin also loves mas Nabil. Then why should you marry a man whose name is Angga” she replied by holding back tears

“sorry son, but it's the decision of father “ he told the child

“why ya? Wh why? Though I know that Elin has long been in a relationship with Mas Nabil. What should Elin tell her” said Elin who had started to shed tears

“Elin also does not know who Angga, Elin does not want to marry him yah”

“sorry son, but this is the decision of father and father sure this is the best for you” said the father before moving to his room

After the departure of the father, Elin cried so badly in the Mother's arms. He was confused what to do, he could not argue with the father but he was also confused how to say it to the lover.

“Bun I have to what now” he said in a raucous voice

“Mother is also confused dear, but later Mother tries to talk to father about this” said Bunda Wati, in fact she is also confused by the decision of the husband

“how about mas Nabil later, Bun “ racau Elin

“you have calmed down first, calm yourself yes, later Mother try to talk to father first.everything will be fine dear” said the Mother who calms the eldest daughter.

“you first enter the room, break ya” connect Bunda Wati again

After successfully calming her daughter, Bunda Wati went to see her husband to talk about this problem.

Mother Wati opened the door slowly, she saw the husband was on the sofa with a book in his hand. She approached the suaminyan and sat her body beside her husband.

“Mas.” call him

“Hmmm” without allowing his gaze towards the Wife

“Why did Elin get married to Angga ?” ask her husband

“Because it was a decision mas” replied him

“but I know, Elin has been in a relationship with Nabil. After all Nabil is a good person, has Nabil been disrespectful to us Mas” asked gently

“during this Nabil always respect us, he is also good. What made you separate them? they love each other and now you ask Elin to marry someone else, why mas?” resounding

“Reply budi” replied with those two words

“reply?, what kind of favor mas?” ask again with a soft tone

“mas can not explain what kind of return the deck, which obviously mas have a debt that can not be paid with money and only this mas can pay it” replied Dirman's father

“then mas would sacrifice the happiness of our son” he said with his tone

“mas does not sacrifice his happiness, it is mas sure that they will be happy” he said relaxed but serious

“how mas can be sure” asked Bunda Wati

“we will know later deck “ he said softly

“the obvious decision mas can not be contested and the problem of Nabil maybe they are both not matchmaking. And we just pray Nabil gets a better soul mate from our daughter”

While in the other room

Elin was still crying by hugging her knees and burying her face in the middle of her knees. Not knowing what to do, so he overflowed by crying because his brain could not think for now and also to strengthen his heart.

It had been three more hours, Elin was crying in such a position without any intention of changing her position. Now Elin began to move to the bathroom with tears that continued to flow rapidly.

Chequelek

Open the bathroom door and start to go inside slowly. He stopped himself in front of the bathroom mirror. He looked at his face from crying earlier.

“What should I say to Mas Nabil, why destiny always plays me like this. What my life will indeed continue to be played by destiny.” Inwardly

"what else will happen to my life, why should it always be played like this her inner” again

"would I be strong through all this?" that phrase alone crossed his mind

"Astaghfirullah, what do I think of "he muttered

After content to match himself in the mirror, he immediately completed his goal to go to the bathroom. Twenty minutes passed, and now Elin was ready in her nightgown. Although he himself does not know if he can sleep comfortably and soundly as usual.

He laid his body on a mattress with his back facing the ceiling of his room, his gaze straight and if seen like an empty mind.

But make no mistake even so Elin continues to try to strengthen her heart and try to make peace with the situation. And how will he speak to Nabil the beloved. Long he dissolved in his mind, until he fell asleep by himself.

 

......................

The morning light burst into Elin's room and the sun was bright but not as bright as Elin's mind and heart at the moment, because his heart was clouded and his mind was in a storm.

Today, Elin shut herself down because she would not be able to concentrate on her work. So he took a day off to think about it. But not forgetting, he continued to pray for guidance with what he would do next.

Tok.dok.

There was a knock on the door, and soon someone entered it.

“kakak is fine right?” tanya Nadya who was only answered by her brother

“kak, out breakfast is ready” said Nadya

“iya” the answer is short

“ brother what the heck was invited to say the answer is that, basic maemunah” grumbled Nadya, actually Nadya no such intention, she just wanted to entertain the brother

“whispering Jah” he said annoyed

“ out, breakfast now Maemunah “ he said furious because the brother was still standing by the window

“iya” replied as he sauntered away

After the departure of her brother, Nadya's tears fell unstoppable. The brother now shows the cold side, indeed Elin often shows the cold side and if talking will be spicy. However, his attitude was only shown when he was in a state of heart and mind was not in line and also when he was angry.

“hopefully brother is always happy, however later” his inner while waltzing away following his brother
