About the Heart

Our Promise

My Sunday night, now no longer desolate. There was a lover, who always accompanied me, on this long night for these young people. Not unlike the night the week before, even tonight, Dion spent the night with me. The difference is, tonight we are not only two, but three with Kristy.

Aye ... Dion stayed here from last night. She got the mandate from mom to be my bodyguard and Kristy during Mama's trip to Surabaya. He attended the wedding procession of the son of a friend of the mother as a child.

''Chris, when is Mama coming home?'' my many.

There's no answer. I wait .. wait ..and there's no answer. Hmmm .. Just deserve it! Kristy is fiddling with her laptop with Dion. They, if it's focused like that, I nagged even nagging will be ignored.

Not wanting to be seen joining, I finally stepped into my room. I opened the door leading to the balcony. There's a clear night sky up there. One, two stars began to accompany the moon that had emerged from his quarrel. I looked at a star that reminded me of the figure of the father I always missed.

Papa, you can't worry about me anymore. Now, I no longer lack affection. There's Dion who has replaced you by my side.

Before this, there was someone who was so sure to take care of me. Convincing me to replace you by my side. I trusted him so much, I hoped so much for his promise, until one day he left me for no reason, Pa.

*He just disappeared, cut a gaping wound, the same wound you left when I needed you.

Www* ....

I shed tears. The tip of my eye filled with water droplets that began to brighten my sense of sight. Remembering Papa is my weakness.

Pa, do you believe that Dion will always take care of me? Will he not leave me like Mas Rud?

I took a deep breath, I looked at the sky that was starting to be crowded with stars that were starting to scatter.

Wh-tok-tok!

My door was knocked by someone out there. I hurriedly wiped away the tears that formed creeks on my cheeks.

''Can I come in?'' ask Dion's familiar voice.

I walk towards the door. ''I'll be out.'' A moment later, I could already stare at Dion directly before my eyes.

''Why is it that this hour has entered the room? Are you not feeling well?'' Dion fumbled my forehead.

He watched me inside. ''Why are you crying?''

I work my eyeballs to clear my eyes so they don't look red. I looked down to collect my smile. ''No 'pa 'pa, Di, I just want to rest.''

Dion. ''Come on, come with me!''

I did not refuse a single word of his invitation. I followed her steps which I realized were towards her room.

What's he gonna bring me here?

I slowed my steps. Feeling uncomfortable having to go into his personal space even though it was in my own home. Dion stopped and turned around, when he realized what I was doing. ''I just want to take you to see the night sky from the balcony.''

I run again, my steps were stopped. My fingers are still hooked in his fingers, making me unable to keep a distance too far from him. Arriving at the balcony, Dion immediately pulled me into his arms. He hugged me from behind, his head he rested on the recess of my neck. ''I told you, I won't let you cry, let alone in front of me.''

I looked for the most comfortable position in his arms. Throwing away the sudden turmoil that had shackled my mind. The fear of her sudden loss just burst out, making me unable to hold back tears. I feel weak thinking about it.

''I want you to live your day happily. If you are afraid, then scatter yourself in my arms. If you're sad, tell me all your race. You are my life, my dear. I will do anything and everything to make you happy. Give me a chance and trust to make it all happen.'' Dion kissed my head gently.

I kept quiet, I hung my happiness on him. That's why, I was afraid that one day I would lose my back. I don't want that to happen, so I cry.

I'm down. Dion grabbed my chin with his finger, he pointed my eyes to look at each other with his beautiful eyes. ''I will immediately justify you, in order to immediately take over the duties of the deceased papa to look after and make you happy.'' Dion gave me a warm kiss on my forehead.

I held my embrace. ''Always by my side, even though I scold you, even though I make you jealous, even though I have bored you with my potent attitude!''

Dion returned tightly to my embrace. ''If I could leave you, I wouldn't be by your side right now, honey.''

I don't know what got into me, I suddenly shower him with my kiss, on the right cheek, on the left cheek, and. I looked at her face, I noticed her seductive lips. I tiptoe and ....

Dion kissed my forehead first. ''I told you, keep this until I justify you!''

I smiled seductively. ''You say your defense is starting to collapse?''

Dion rattled the hair at the top of my head. ''Come on, get out before I change my mind!'' He grabbed my finger and took me down to the living room.

"Still late in the afternoon too, already alone in the room, '' Suara Mas Rendra welcomed my presence and Dion.

Mas Rendra's words did not make us tempted to answer him. We are used to those bad words. I was actually interested in the presence of my best friend, who was none other than Mas Rendra's fiancee, Maya. I hugged a friend who I didn't meet yesterday at the office. While Dion chose to sit on the sofa next to Mas Rendra.

''What's wrong, suddenly stopping by? no more news, I asked.

Mas Rendra swallowed the chips that were in his mouth. ''Near by doang, are we interrupting your pleasure?''

''I stopped by, Sa, I haven't played here in a long time. Uh, I know there is Mas Dion too.'' Maya said.

''This is my second home, Dion replied.

''Not married yet, woy. Don't play nginep-nginep!'' Mas Rendra reminded his cousin.

Kristy came with a tray in her hand. ''Mama asked Mas Dion to stay here to take care of me and Ms. Rosa, really, Mas Ren.''

Mas Rendra sipped the tea that Kristy had just served. ''Wow, Mama was wrong. You are in danger if you take care of Dion.''

Maya and I chose to dissolve into our own topic of conversation. Letting Dion, Mas Rendra and Kristy with their chatter as well. I turned my head, as Mas Rendra called my name.

''What's up, Mom? Why see me like that?'' I asked when Mas Rendra showed his full gaze.

''You're nothing, aren't you, same as him?'' mas Rendra asked as he pointed at Dion with his index finger.

I see Dion seems relaxed about his cousin's accusation. He looked at me, waiting for what answer I would give to Mas Rendra's perverted question.

''Why-whoever, Mas. Dion is a normal guy. Anyway if Dion does not do anything, I will ask for anything.''' I replied casually.

I saw Dion smiling satisfied with my answer. Let alone occasionally tease Mas Rendra, negative thinking continues, anyway, same Dion, my girlfriend who is full of defense.

''Tonight, we will stay here, my dear! I am afraid my cousin is khilaf.'' said Mas Rendra who was greeted cheerfully by Maya.

I heard Mas Rendra's babble, feeling amused myself. Strange brotherhood, just say if you really want to nginep. Use the reason of fear we are trapped.

Mode!
