Allow Me to Be Happy

Chapter 4

In the morning, they all gathered at the table for breakfast. Reza who saw Andra's face as if not eagerly asked the child.

“Abang why? How can I not go to school?”

“Nothing is right, Pa.”

“Do not lie. Papa yakit has something. Try brother says same Papa.”

Andra did not answer her papa's question. He looked down at his breakfast that morning. However, she had a very small voice and could only be heard by Reza because Reza was sitting next to the child.

“Abang kangen Mommy.”

Reza who was drinking his coffee immediately stopped his activity. He also stared at his eldest son.

“Once again forgive Papa, Son,” he said in his heart.

Iseltweld

During breakfast at Julian's house, Dewi chimed in the occasional chatter of Julian, Briggita and aunty Maria. The goddess was happy to be around them. He felt the warmth of family and friends. Aaah she really misses her crazy friends.

“How are Leo, Tania and Candra there? Looks like coming home from here later I'll have to call them. I miss their madness,” Inner Goddess.

During his time at Iseltweld Dewi did not communicate with his friends and adoptive parents. Mami Lisa and Papi Arya know the news of the Goddess from Bik Asih, so Dewi is not too hostile. If for his friends, they get the news of the Goddess from Mami Lisa.

Dewi really wants to shut herself down at this time from the people who are in Indonesia. But today he wants to listen to the voices of his beloved.

“Oh yes Wi tomorrow will we take a trip to Giessbach-See? I'm sure you've never been there at all,” take Briggita who immediately resuscitated the Goddess from her daydream.

“You haven't been there, baby?” ask aunty Maria. “It's a pity that you're already in Iseltwald but haven't been there at all. The place is very beautiful.”

“The days of the Goddess were only spent by sitting on the terrace or on the balcony above his house aunty. Keep reading the book. It just continues every day.” said Briggita ketus.

“Wah I didn't expect you to be so considerate of me Bri.”

“Eh good. Not attention. I was amazed at my front neighbor. Beautiful but a lot of beautiful. You got a problem? Why run here?” briggita asked while looking into the eyes of the Goddess.

“You're right Bri I have such a weird problem. I hope you can help me to forget this pettiness,” replied the Goddess with a smile.

“Ok baby you didn't pick a friend wrong. I'm the best person right now to help you forget about your problem. Let’s rock”.

Dewi was grateful to receive Briggita's invitation this morning. As if his life is now starting to be colored again even though it is not fully colored like before. He again convinced himself to truly rise up and accept with sincerity that had become His decree.

As they promised yesterday, today the Goddess, Briggita and Julian go to Giessbach-See. A coincidence turns out the three of them have the same hobby, namely lovers of outdoor activities. Therefore they can try the hiking route from Iseltwald to Giessbach-See or vice versa. This route offers a path along approximately 5.2 kilometers on the edge of the lake with flat tracks tend to split the shady forest.

In Giessbach-See we can find the beautiful Giessbach waterfalls. Giessbach waterfalls are one of the most beautiful and largest waterfalls in the world. Giessbach Falls has a height of about 400 m and formed in 14 cascades which then fell on a beautiful lake Brienz with clear water crystal clear and covered with white snow, surrounded by verdant mountain peaks. This is a great place for those of you who want to heal. But visitors can only be in front of it because it is not allowed to play water in this spot.

After a journey of approximately 2 hours they arrived at Giessbach waterfalls. They are looking for a comfortable place to rest.

“MasyaAllah beautiful this place,” amazed Goddess.

“Thankyou Bri already want to take me to this beautiful place”.

“Eatya six months already here not where in the house mulu. You have come all the way from Indonesia to Switzerland just quietly at home. Really loss tau.”

“I from yesterday did not have friends Bri. You also never ngajak just nyapa nyapa doang during this.”

“Hi Frau. I wish you were just answering a smile while nodding. This is just a tumben want to answer my greeting yesterday.”

“Ehehee bosen I'm Bri. I think it's enough for me to get everything.”

“My love broke up before reply Bri,” watered Dewi.

Julian, who had just been a listener, asked for permission to leave for a while.

“Baby I was there for a while. My office friend called,” said Julian.

“Julian how long is Bri?” off

“Almost a week anyway like.”

“You don't plan to get married?”

“Julian has often invited me to get married. But I'm not ready for Wi.”

“Why?”

“Married is not something easy Bri. We promise before God to be his partner for the rest of our lives. We can not arbitrarily decide to end the relationship if we feel it is not suitable.”

“You don't trust Julian?”

“No, I believe in Julian. I just don't believe in myself. You yourself why aren't you married?” ask Briggita back.

The goddess let out a long sigh before answering Briggita's question.

“I'm married Bri,” replied Dewi while looking straight at Giessbach waterfalls.

“Then where is your husband?”

“At his house may.”

“Why doesn't he accompany you here? Does it matter you left it this long?” briggita asked with high curiosity.

The goddess did not answer Briggita's question. She herself did not know if the man was her status could still be said to be her husband. Didn't the Goddess already ask him to take care of their divorce.

Accompanying the Goddess in Switzerland? No. gabe. He won't want to. From the beginning of the marriage he did not want the Goddess as his wife. The goddess is never a priority. When the Goddess was at the end of her death, the man did not exist. Even when doctors wanted to ask permission to do the curing of their child, the man did not exist.

Ooh how painful the heart of the Goddess remembered him. Is a mere speck of the name of the Goddess not in his heart?

Not even her tears dripped down the Goddess' cheeks. Briggita who saw it also felt guilty because she thought Dewi was sad because of the question earlier.

“Hei Wi I'm sorry if my question hurt you. It's okay if you don't want to answer,” said Briggita regretted.

“Tak nothing Bri. I don't know why until now when I remember my heart still hurts. Almost seven months and the pain is still the same as the first time,” replied Dewi sesugukan. Her tears did not stop flowing from her two beautiful eyes.

Briggita carried the Goddess in her arms. The woman was crying in Briggita's arms. Long enough in that position until finally Dewi let go of Briggita's embrace.

“I'm sorry Bri you have to see me like this.”

“Its okay Wi. It is precisely I who apologized for my question earlier that you so remembered the thing that you want to forget.”

“Do you want to hear my story Bri?”

“No Wi. I mean you don't have to force to tell a story if it only adds to the wound in your heart.”

“I think by telling others my heart will improve a little. I want Bri back to my previous life. There is a lot I left in Indonesia. My family and my job have been my dream all along. I don't want to keep running away. I have to move on with my life.”

“Yeeah it's good. You have to stay up. Must move on quickly. Our lives are still long do not waste.”

The goddess laughed at the reply from Briggita whom she had only known for a few days. Looks like he'll fit in with Briggita.
