Afraid to Widow

Chapter II: The Past of Sahrial Chapter XXIX: (Sahrial Pratama)

"Abang Rials. Meet me at our first date spot huh. It's important."

I smile at myself reading the WA chat from Helen Amelia. The girl I dated 4 or 5 years ago. I forgot the date. For sure, I shot him in the first semester.

A lot of my friends miss, "is it a date or a motorcycle loan? Long time. Up to five years."

For those of you who are difficult for me, calm this year I will also send you an invitation. Yup, I'm determined to propose to Helen this year. In addition to buying something for Mamak and Sahrani, if you win TAT season 2, the prizes I all buy rings and small-time fiancee thanksgiving. I hope the reward is enough to achieve all my wishes.

I was in a hurry to change clothes. I was confused about what clothes to wear? Finally, my choice was to go to the maroon red checkered shirt. This dress Helen gave me also on my 23rd birthday. He must be happy that the gift is still used by me until now.

Before leaving, do not forget I use hair oil first to be neat. After my face looked handsome in the mirror, I exited the room. The Sahrani.

"Boiled, neat really, Bang. Wanna go where? Ngedate with Helen, right? I'm coming with dong."

"Cats, ogah. You'll disturb us later. Besides, you're gonna be bete because you're a mosquito repellent."

Sahrani is singing lips. "Ih, evil Rial's brother. I'm still single."

"The hunt has a girlfriend. I just joined ajakin. Let's double date."

"I am aduin to Mamak loh."

"Aduin time. My mommy has given me permission to be with Helen."

Instantly I remembered the first chat after I introduced Helen to Mamak.

"Do you like that girl?"

I was embarrassed. "Do you know what?"

"Yes youah. The Mamak who grieved you. Your eyes are different when you look at him. Clear radiated colors of love in your eyes."

"Do you believe I'm the same as him?"

"Rial, with Mamak. Mamak want you to mate with Batak girl only. Lu kan tau Batak with Minang is equally strong in custom. Batak adheres to patrilineal while Minang adheres to matrilineal. Ribet if united. Must do a procession to buy a clan first. Not to mention Batak and Minang are equally dominant characters. It is not good if the household is equally strong. However, if Rial is sure to be able to defeat all that, yes Mamak can what? Besides blessing. Mama just wants you to be happy. Helen is kind, polite, gentle, your favorite cook anyway. Remember you also have to prepare for heartbreak if the Helen family does not approve of your relationship."

Mamak lectures long times high times wide. However, my heart was convinced my love for Helen could beat everything. So I still love Helen.

I was looking for Mamak.

"Where's the food, Ran?"

"Look at the rice fields or kebon kali."

"Oh. Yeah, well, later if my mom asks me, tell me to go on a date with Helen."

"OK, ready. The reward is bringing food."

Helen is Pekanbaru. I don't know why I liked him the first time I knew him. Mungkib because Helen is a veiled girl and polite to parents.

I also left Sahrani.

The first place I dated Helen was in Simarsayang hill Padangsidimpuan. This hill has a slope reaching 45 degrees which is in the Batang Ayumi region of Julu and can be passed from Sitataring.

From here we can see the beauty of the city of Padangsidimpuan as a basin resembling a lake. There are hanging bikes and free. No wonder it is a favorite place for people to date.

From a distance I saw Helen standing near the sport I Love U. I walked up to him too.

"Hello, Honey. Have you been waiting here a long time?" greet me when I am near him.

"I'm just too."

"What are you sure to see? Yes, yes kangen. I miss you too."

"There's something I want to say."

"What?"

"But promise yes, Brother Rial do not be angry, disappointed, let alone do strange behavior."

"Yes, promise."

"Hmmm .. yes." Helen looks nervous. Maybe his heart was worried about telling the truth. "I want our relationship to be quite up here."

"What's? I'm not wrong, am I? I'm wrong with you?"

I clasped Helen's fingers while looking into her eyes. "Helen, look me in the eye."

"That's Ojan Sketch. Don't look like Ojan, you can feel nyomot. It has the right to know."

"Do I have to be like Andhika Kangen Band first make drugs so you don't leave me?"

"Don't that either. Rial's brother deserves a better woman than me."

"Jawab to be honest, there's actually another guy who made you kill me?"

Helen was silent. Not long after that she cried. "Yes, Mama betrothed me to Pekanbaru man, said Mamak my boyfriend never give certainty."

"Tell your mother, this year I'll propose to you."

"Mama can't wait to have a ghost. Moreover, the guy who was betrothed to me, will apply officially next month. If Brother Rial doesn't want to lose me, come to my house in Pekanbaru before the man comes to propose officially."

"If that's all I can say. Sorry for hurting Brother Rial. We are not meant to be together. Please leave first. Afraid to find Mama."

Helen left me alone with a broken heart. If the scene of a soap opera of a broken heart is directly dipped in the rain. The reality is hot. Is the sky not the same as my feelings? Cloudy little, cake!

***

Ever since Helen broke up with me, I was locked up in my room. I don't know how many days. Bring him to hug guling doang. I don't care about TAT season 2 anymore. There are 5 pages of doang. I entered the race so that the prize could buy a wedding ring for Helen, if my spirit was lost for what to continue?

"Rani, where did your brother go? I haven't seen her idols in two days."

"Post last date with Helen, she's holed up in the room, Mak. Maybe Helen's cut out."

Sounds obrolam Mamak I'm with Rani. Batak people must be confused, why Mamak daily language uses Jakarta dialect. She is Rohana Rambe. Lue-lu. That is because he was born and raised in Jakarta.

My grandmother moved to Jakarta to meet her idol, Rano Karno. So that you can get a daughter-in-law of the Jakarta people. Uh, I know my Mama's soul mate is Batak too. Harahap Marga.

I was also born in Jakarta. Only fitting in TK exactly 98 strategy, Sift in PHK. Our family came home. Be until now Ayak manages the rice fields and gardens of Grandpa's heritage.

Tok .. tok .

"Rial, you're still breathing, right?"

"Still, Mom."

"If so open the door. If you don't want to open it, Mamak broke it down."

I had to open the door. Momentarily Mamak glared. "Gosh, you're nothing. Very nice appearance of you. Panda eyes, puffy, disheveled hair, smell anyway. Not taking a two-day shower? You're heartbroken gini anyway."

"What a disgrace my heart hurts so much. It's males doing nothing."

Mamak bobbing head. "It's not how to break a heart. Mustnua you're getting harder to succeed. Believing you're successful, Helen will miss you."

"Boro-boro is successful, not a job."

"You'll be more active in your job."

"Send CV and diploma to offices, no interview calls yet."

"Yes already, if so while you take care of the rice fields and gardens Ayak you first."

Sieve it's the Median language 'Father'. My father was out of town selling the garden Mamak said.

"Mamak will know I have no interest in being a farmer and gardening."

"If you're not interested, why study Agriculture."

"It was because of the will. If Ayak has already spoken, what can I do?"

"Yes, it's up to you. I doain let you cepet get work so my spirit. It's not good to see you dekil gini. Shower there. Keep eating dinner."

I bowed listlessly. "Yes, Mommy."
