Anesta And Mahesa

Hope On Miracle

After calling Mahesa, I called my mom. Not to make my mom second. But usually in these hours mama is busy. Sure enough, I had to call many times and be picked up on the umpteenth ring.

"Ma, I'm graduating next month. Mama get ready to come here"

"Yes, what date is Nes' graduation?"

"Let me tell you again Ma, the important thing is that you prepare everything for your departure here"

"Will you go straight home with your mom?"

"No Ma, there's still some business I need to get done. I don't think the diploma is finished either"

"Oh, yes, I have. It's not because you're close, is it?"

I was silent to hear Mom's words.

"No. Not because of that"

I don't talk to my mom much. I hung up the phone shortly after asking about my sisters.

I'm circulating my eyes looking for Dea. My eyes even met the figure of Muli who was present here, she was with Dea. Muli came over and hugged me tightly, congratulating me.

"I'm glad you could graduate and graduate soon. Pray I can catch up with you next year huh"

"Amin, the important thing is that you get the spirit of the script".

"If you need help telling Li, don't hesitate"

"Seriously no need to hesitate?. Where am I being treated?"

"Yeeee, that's not what it means!"

"Okay, look at it this time, who wants to be treated to choose a place. It's up to you to Li"

"Yes, I chose the place"

"When? Later tonight?"

"Oh, of course not Muli dear, it's Jo's allotment. I made a deal with him"

"Tomorrow? Don't dong for long"

"OK, tomorrow we go three. We haven't gone all three ways in a long time"

Tonight Mahesa and I met, after a few days of communication we were just on the phone.

He wants me to focus on the exam in order to get the best results. So tonight I miss him a lot.

Maybe this is how it feels when a bride who is frowned upon not to meet first with her lover until the wedding day arrives.

When I saw her coming, I already wanted to hug her right away. But I can't do it in front of Dea and Muli.

Eventually Mahesa and I chose to go to the city park instead of being dumped. We just wanted to spend the night sitting chatting while enjoying the boiled beans.

"Tomorrow I'd like a temporary graduation letter to start looking for a job here"

"There are some companies I'm going to apply for. I hope to get a job soon"

"I have the same hope as you, because I don't want to lose you"

"You mean so much to me Anesta"

"Actually when you reported your approval my feelings were mixed. I'm happy but I'm also afraid of losing you"

I touched her face and gently rubbed.

"You'll never lose me Mahesa"

He hugged my shoulder and my head fell on his shoulder. Look, that's enough for me.

One month later

I've dressed up for my graduation, and so has my mom. From morning I was in the salon.

Today is one of the special days of my life, so I want to look beautiful and look different by wearing a bun and kebaya.

It's my second day here, but I haven't met Mahesa.

"I'll see my mom at graduation. After that I'll see him again in your room".

"Ma, meet Mahesa" and Mahesa shakes her hand and says her name.

Mama smiled kindly and nodded.

"Come, son Mahesa, we're going to start the show. You're sitting next to aunty, right?".

When I saw them walking together, I breathed a sigh of relief. I know you wouldn't be so unfriendly to Mahesa in a place like this. I know mom very well.

Mama was very kind, but she was very firm in her principles.

Arriving at the boarding house, Mama and Mahesa chatted casually as if there was no problem. I just watched them without saying much.

"Sir Mahesa, already know that Anesta is the biggest aunt"

"Aunty. Anesta said it"

"Mahesa, do you know that there are tribal differences between the two of you?", Mahesa nodded.

"Aunty hopes Anesta has also told you that aunt objected to your relationship"

Again Mahesa just nodded. Then it says "But I love Anesta aunt. I hope my aunt will bless our relationship"

"Tante knows you're a good kid Anesta chose you. But the problem is you're different. Aunty can't approve"

Me and Mahesa just quietly listened to mama talk, I also had no interest in cutting off the talk of mama or denied mama at that time. Let it go, there comes a time when I'll talk to mama.

Not long after Mahesa left, I drove her away until she was gone from my sight. I want to hold her or just hold her hand. Calm his heart with my touch. "Mahesa, everything will be fine"

After Mahesa came home from the room, Mama started talking about it in the room.

"What the hell made you stick with him? Not wanting to obey your mother?".

"He's nice ma, I've always felt comfortable around him"

"That's not enough Anesta!. When the time comes you will realize that love and comfort will not be enough to keep you in the marriage!"

"We don't want to marry Ma yet, Mahesa is still in college"

"But the ultimate goal of marriage isn't Nesta?"

"He is not the son of the sultan, still in college, different tribes with us. Then why do you stick with him?. You have to ignore my mom's message! ".

"Let's see, in two days, Mama's home. You come home. About grades and diplomas let Dea take trus sent to you"

"Mama doesn't want you getting close to her. Anyway mama doesn't agree you're dating Mahesa!."

My mouth is tightly locked, I don't want to talk to my mom. Which in the end only makes us argue with each other.

I feel too tired. Right now all I want is sleep. I just wish there was a miracle in the next few days. So I don't have to go home with my mom.

*****

"Sa, you don't have to come here tonight, do you?"

"Why?. I just wanted to talk to your mama so she'd know me better"

"The time is not right Sa"

"Last noon after you came home, my mother was angry. He expressed his disagreement"

"Right now I feel tired Sa, tired physically and emotionally. I don't know how else to say it"

"You said the process would be very long. We have to be ready to face it. You said we should fight for our love. As long as the man is worth fighting for"

"Am I still a man you deserve to fight for?"

"Yes", I held back my tears.

"Are you still willing to fight together with me?"

"Yes Mahesa. Right now I have something to tell you. Hear me! "

"Mama, take me home in two days".

Mahesa was silent, there was silence between us. I know he's not ready for this news.

"Why so fast?. And you're gonna agree with mom's decision?"

"Only when a miracle can change my return. Right now I only wish for a miracle".
