Bara And Arum

Hearts are Sick

Iwan looked at his brother-in-law who looked shocked to hear the words of one of the villagers sendang kulon.

"This is Bambang, right? Who helped Arum?" ask one of them there.

"Yes sir but his real name is Bara" Iwan replied. "If you may know why Arum married her impromptu sir?"

"The news is that Arum was betrothed when he was a child and last night the Azzam family came and immediately proposed until Mr. Ricky could not refuse because they had prepared everything."

"Where did Azzam's family come from, sir?" ask Iwan again.

"From Surabaya, reportedly have a hospital there. Both doctors are also" said another.

Iwan menjwil Bara's. "Mas, Mas Bara want to meet or what?" whispered.

"Did Arum do his ijab qobul sir?" ask Bara with a vibrating tone.

"It was Bambang, it was eight in the morning."

I am getting weaker hearing it. Iwan then grabbed the shoulder of his sister-in-law.

"The patient mas" whispered Iwan. "If we go home now, it won't be papa."

"We meet Wan first" said Bara firmly but Iwan can feel the sad tone there.

Iwan just nodded while accompanying Bara towards Ricky's house. There are many people with typical makeup gather and they greet Bara even though they still use the name Bambang.

Bara and Iwan also walked to the backyard where the bridal guarantee was located. Bara's black eyes were round seeing Arum actually being with a handsome man there wearing a wedding dress.

"Mas Bara.." whispered Iwan.

"No papa Wan. I am strong" Bara replied.

Both of them walked up to the guarantee and met with Ricky who looked at Bara full of regret and forgiveness. The middle-aged man could only hug Bara.

"I'm sorry, Bara. Forgive me" Ricky said repeatedly.

Bara just patted that fragile back. "It's okay sir. Means Arum's not my soul mate."

Ricky let go of his embrace. His face looked so fragile and aged.

"I congratulate the newlywed couple" Bara's smile wistfully.

Arum turned his head and his eyes immediately widened to see Bara there with Iwan. And then her tears flowed.

"Baras.." whispered. Bara approached the two brides and shook Arum's hand.

"Congratulations Rum, may the marriage direction of the marriage of the two of you" said Bara sincerely although Arum and Iwan could hear a sad tone there.

"Thank you mas. Forgive Arum" Arum said with a cry. Bara just patted Arum's hand gently with a warm smile.

"It's okay."

"Thank you. God willing I'll take care of Arum." Azzam accepted the Bara post.

Bara just nodded. I hope Azzam can be a good husband to you Rum.

After Bara and Iwan finished congratulating the two brides, they then bid farewell to Ricky and the villagers.

Before long, Iwan had run the luxury car back towards the city of Pacitan.

"Is that the Bara you helped Rum?" ask Azzam softly.

"Yes mas" replied Arum who felt sad to have to betray his lover but he also could not refuse this matchmaking.

"Thank God he can remember and be healthy again" said Azzam who had no jealousy at all in his tone.

"Yes, um."

Goodbye to Sambara Ganendra Giandra. Sorry we're not fooling around.

Bara looked at the scene all the way through his left window. His seat was already positioned half asleep and now he felt a pain in his head and heart.

Iwan who saw his sister-in-law looked broken heartedly felt pity. She only wanted her brother to be able to vent his grief but in a quiet place.

"Mas, we pray dhuhur first yes. Like in front there is a mosque" invited Iwan who is now in time to pray Dhuhur.

"I'm a bit of a Wan. Again can not think of me" said Bara.

Iwan nodded and before long the white car arrived at a mosque on the side of the road. Bara and Iwan went down and headed for ablution. Luckily the prayer dhuhur will start until Bara and Iwan can join the congregation.

After the prayer, Iwan allowed Bara to calm down because he knew how happy Bara had left this morning and even showed off her ring to be given to Arum, but even the unexpected surprises they get.

Oh God, Bara doesn't know what to say. Bara has opened his heart to a woman who according to Bara is the best but it is not for Bara.

Bara cried feeling tightness in her chest. Iwan just sat down next to him. The father-in-law would let his brother-in-law out his emotions in the mosque could at least hold Bara back from slamming or damaging something even though Iwan was sure it was not the Bara type.

Hearts hurt, O God.
