Akara Longs for the Waiting

74. Day Continues to Pass

The day goes on. It's been almost three months since she broke off her relationship with Kai. Meysa who is difficult to forget Kai always tries to open her heart to everyone who approaches. But the relationship always runs aground whenever the men convey good intentions to continue the relationship to a more serious level.

Either Meysa who suddenly felt unsuited and rejected the good intentions of the men. In fact, he had been scolded by Faza for refusing a proposal from someone who came home.

“If you don't like the same person don't love the hope that you end up rejecting like this too!" As soon as Faza snapped at him in annoyance when one of the young men from the next village who had been close to Meysa came to propose.

“Sorry!" and Meysa can only say that one word. He also did not understand at all with himself who seemed to play tricks on the hearts of others. Meysa felt like she was the most evil person.

Does it have anything to do with Kai? Or can Meysa never forget the shadow of Kai? I don't know, only He and God know.

This Sunday afternoon Meysa came to Rena's house. Her best friend had just arrived from the city of her husband, Erza had just dropped her off a few hours ago and would return later that night. Without knowing if Erza and Rena came with Faza.

This is the marriage of Rena. Every weekend she would spend time with her husband. Because the work makes both of them must establish a long distance mariage relationship aka LDM. Starting from Monday to Friday and can only have time to meet on Saturday to Sunday. Whether it's Erza who stays in their village or even Rena who is invited to go to the city of Erza.

“Then this is the story of how you can quickly have children, every week back and forth. That's why one gave up so that it wouldn't be hard to meet!" as soon as Bu Fatma who dizzy to see the relationship Rena and the daughter-in-law.

“Erza who asked to move here or you who gave up Rena, move and follow your husband!" And finally Buk Fatma gave advice so that one of them would like to submit a transfer of duties.

However, the suggestion was not approved by Rena and was rejected outright. “No, I don't want to live there. If Erza wants to, she's the one who moved! If not, we'll just put it this way!"

Fatma's Buk could only shake his head at the answer from Rena who was so stubborn. He also could not get too far to interfere in the household affairs of the child and his daughter-in-law.

As for Meysa and Rena, the friendly relationship between the two women was nothing to try, still like before even though one of them was married. Meysa and Rena still often meet and spend time together like she was a girl before.

Not infrequently Ms. Fatma asked Meysa for help to persuade her son to want to make a decision that did not make them have to establish a marriage relationship like now.

“Still mending LDR-an before marriage rather than LDR-an already married, hmmmnt!" seloroh Meysa who is currently accompanying Rena to water her vegetables in the garden behind the house. Since getting married, his best friend has become fond of cultivating vegetables, such as the activities of most mothers.

“Ren's sin, don't mind what the husband said!" remember Meysa after hearing the story of Rena if her best friend rejected Erza's invitation to stay in her city.

Rena who was watering the plants let out a long sigh. He stopped his activities and turned to Meysa.

Rena placed the ancient kettle-shaped container and then stepped towards Meysa who sat on a wooden rod that had been transformed into a chair. Before starting to tell the story Rena turned to the house, making sure no one was there. Afraid of anyone hearing their chatter, especially if her husband heard this. Rena doesn't want Erza to misunderstand.

Meysa who saw how Rena wanted to tell important things seemed to frown thinly, curious about what her best friend wanted to say.

“What?" meysa whispered quietly while bringing the body closer to Rena.

“I'm lazy to stay with Ms. Asmi, know for yourself how she is!"

Seeing Rena's depressed face made Meysa concerned. He knew what the nature of the land of dispute was like. However, soon Meysa immediately raised a question to Rena.

“Why? Is he one of Zolim's in-laws?" meysa asked to make sure, not wanting to be prejudiced. Because Asmi liked Rena. Rena is her dream daughter-in-law because Rena is worth her family and has a noble job according to Asmi's mother. Unlike him who used to be rejected when he had not yet established any relationship with the child.

Rena answered Meysa's question by shaking her head.

Make Meysa ambush quickly, “Keep?" tanyanya.

“So really can't be called zolim, because he just wants me to come with his son, live there together."

“But yes know for yourself its nature it is like a land of dispute!"

Meysa seemed to chuckle at the mention that Rena pinned on the in-laws. Even so he understood what Rena was afraid of. Although Asmi ma'am liked her very much, it is not impossible if one day she will behave ugly if Rena makes a mistake. And to avoid that, it was true that Rena decided not to stay with her in-laws.

“Just like this he has often shown an angry face because we are in a marriage relationship like this, especially later if we stay together." Rena complained to Meysa. According to him, only Meysa can be the right listener, because if this reaches the ears of mamak, it could be that the relationship between the two besan will stretch. Rena doesn't want that to happen.

Although Ms. Asmi has a land dispute character, she does not want the relationship between Mamak and her mother-in-law is tenuous. Rena wants everyone to be safe.

“But Erza knows what the reason why you don't want to stay there?!"

“Know Mey, Erza also understands. That's why he wants to give up, he said let him move here."

Meysa breathed a sigh of relief hearing what Rena had to say. This friend is not wrong choose husband, Meysa even knows very well how Erza mature attitude in dealing with every problem. Erza can certainly handle this. It calms Meysa down as her stubborn best friend falls in the right hands.

“Lucky you have an understanding husband like Erza!" lirih Meysa with haru while hugging Rena.

“Solah herself why you didn't want to be with Erza!"

Plaque...

Rena's words made Meysa release her best friend's embrace, then throw her punch in Rena's arm. Makes Erza's wife snort.

“Could want to think of the country!" meysa protests don't like it.

“Yes, yes sorry!" exciting Rena.

Meysa twisting lazy eye, “Luck we are legitimately! If I were someone else, sure you'd be jealous knowing Erza used to like me!"

Now Rena is behind meysa's head. “But you're my best friend, not someone else!"

“So there is no reason to be jealous!" concluded Rena while folding both hands on the chest.

Makes Meysa chuckle. I feel lucky to have such an understanding friend like Rena.

For a moment they were silent, Meysa was seen busy checking the phone after hearing a notification coming in at the district panel group. After viewing the information on the grub. Meysa's hand was moved to open a message from someone who until now always made her heart pound.

Message from Kai! The name of the contact who was once 'Star' was now changed to 'Him'. I don't know what it means, only Meysa and Author know(🤭). The girl then opened a message from Kai which turned out to have just commented on her WhatsApp story.

Him: What are you working for now?

Meysa really can't express how she feels when reading a message from Kai. Although it has broken up, he and Kai still often cheat, although not as intelligent as before. This is indeed the first time he published his work as a panwaslu since it was officially inaugurated three months ago, a few days after the wedding of Rena and Erza. So, it was only natural for Kai to ask that.

^^^Meysa: So Panwaslu Subdistrict^^^

It didn't take long, Kai immediately replied to his message quickly.

Kai: Oh Yes, yes,

_______________________

Meysa who was seriously replying to chat with Kai did not realize that from earlier Rena had been reading the chat.

"Hmmmmm!" Erza's wife let out a long breath. Now his eyes are looking straight ahead.

Making Meysa who heard that immediately put the phone into the pocket of her pants and turned to her best friend.

“If you still like each other it is back, do not cats like this!"

Meysa's forehead shriveled thinly. He did not understand Rena's words.

Rena took a deep breath when she saw Meysa's reaction, who either pretended not to understand her intentions or she did not understand.

“How many more people do you want to hurt, Mey?"

Rena's words made Meysa bow while exhaling quietly.

“Do not give false hope to others just to treat your wounds. Their kasian is just an impingement just because you're trying to shut off the taste of the person you can't completely lose the shadow of! If it's still love that says, don't torture yourself with an expensive sell-off!"

Rena is really a slap for Meysa who has been busy venturing open crocodile farms and give hope to others just to cover the wound and heal themselves. He was just trying to remove Kai's shadow from his life in such a way.

However, instead of succeeding, he only wounds the person he rejects after he gives hope. Meysa felt very guilty. He doesn't even want to do this, he wants to get serious and start a new life with someone else. As hard as he tried to forget, then as hard as that shadow Kai tore down his defenses, so he was always at the intersection of a dilemma whenever someone came to want to be serious.

He doesn't even know how Kai feels about him. Whether the man still wants it or has found a replacement. However, remembering the face of Kai who smiled sincerely every time he asked her to wait and survive always managed to make him say no if asked if ready to marry the person who came to propose.

Even Mamak once took the time to come all the way from the city just to attend the proposal of his daughter at that time. However, instead of agreeing, even the rejection he gave. Meysa's family was embarrassed because her daughter was labeled as having played tricks on the hearts of people's children.

“Mey, if you're not ready to get married don't tell me yes if anyone wants to come home!"

“Poor people to the point of feeling humbled."

“Our family is also ashamed of this, son!"

So Mamak and the Father advised him since the arrival of a young man whom he rejected at that time.

Since then he has been a material gibbah in the village. He said the one who rejects someone else's proposal will be a spinster. Meysa was also considered too picky.

A series of recent events that suddenly infiltrated in memory made Meysa look down lethargic. He could not answer Rena's words. Making his best friend to take a huffed breath.

“Keep your relationship sam Anca how?" sergeant Rena, who made Meysa's forehead wrinkle.

“Relationship with Anca how?" meysa was confused. Somehow Rena even considered him close to Anca, even though his relationship with Anca was nothing more than a relationship of friends and family.

Rena clucked in annoyance. “Don't pretend to be stupid, Mey. Who doesn't know that Anca likes you!"

“Know where?" cut Meysa doesn't like it. Because he did not feel at all there was a special relationship between him and Anca. These days they are close, but just friends, just like the relationship they were when they were little. Meysa thought it was a natural thing, especially He and Anca still have a close family relationship.

“Sok knows!" meysa protests don't like it.

“Jeez, many already know. Just wait, soon surely his family will come with good intentions!"
