Between Love and Traditional Java

Showdown

"You have nothing to do with that woman anymore" Danial's father said as he was having breakfast together. Danial put down his spoon. Mama Danial looked between the two.

"Why then?" Danial asked.

"Dad didn't like him?" Danial continued his words.

"He's the first kid, you know what our family's custom is, and I don't like him." Dad Danial's firm.

Degs.. Danial pounding. He had just found someone who was in frequency with him. But there is always an obstacle. Custom to be the trigger.

"I love him well, we can find a way out," Danial pleaded.

"Stay away from him immediately" Danial's father left the dining table.

"But yeah, we can talk about it all right,"

"Don't be stubborn" Danial's father slammed the door of his room. I don't know why Danial's dad was so angry. It cannot be disputed or discussed. Danial rode apitam as well, violently he grabbed the key of his bike.

"Look down first," Mama Danial grabbed her calming hand. Danial brushed it off and walked out. He turned on his motor and drove fast towards the beach. He occupies the gazebo where he first asked Dyana out on a date. It's a long way to see what it would be like if Dyana knew. Thought garbled. He will open his heart after the injury caused by his parents. And this has to happen again.

The Flash Back

"Ge, we can't continue this relationship" Danial severed Gea.

"Why Dan?" gea's tears brushed.

"My father doesn't approve of our relationship" Danial clasped Gea's hand, reluctant to let go.

"Oh yeah," Gea sobbed, Danial hugged her.

"I can't repeat my brother Ge's mistake" Danial still clasped Gea's hand, he was fragile as a man. He failed to please the people he loved. Instead he did not want to see tears fall from the woman he loved, even he who made the cry. He was disappointed in himself who could not keep Gea's smile.

For years Danial tried to forget Gea. He tried to calm his heart by not connecting with women. He just focused on working. He lost control of himself. He felt that cowardice had made Gea hurt and abandoned her.

Sometimes Danial is still a video call just to ask the news, it feels heavy to take it off. At first Gea still responded, until Gea was tired and decided to really end, which means Danial must stop hoping. Gea doesn't want Danial to call her anymore. Where Gea knows the connection won't come to a goal, and it's a waste of time. After that Danial tried to approach some women, but nothing was in line.

Later that night, his friend created a grub in whatsapp. He scrool-scrooled the screen and paused on the profile picture of the woman in red who smiled sweetly, according to him. He ventured to get her acquainted.

"Ping" said the greeting to be his first chat. Confused to start. After the blue two ticks that indicate it has been read, Danial impatiently expects a reply.

"Who?" the woman replied briefly.

"Danial," he accidentally smiled to himself. A few minutes passed and there was no reply. Danial typing again.

"Can't you get acquainted?" he is waiting for a reply.

"By, I'm Dyana,"

And some reply texts passed, he felt he had found the right person with just a fleeting chat. I don't know why he thinks like that. He tried to approach her slowly. He feels comfortable just by answering chat even though he has never met. I don't know where this feeling came from. Suddenly comfortable and wanted more.

“Good morning, don't forget breakfast, later die.” Danial sent another text, he knew the interlocutor was humorous, so he deliberately joked.

Briefly after many topics were discussed, he knew Dyana did not have a partner. He was determined to get Dyana, make her his own.

For the first time he met Dyana at home. He invited her at the first meeting. He is happy when his efforts are not in vain. He was welcomed by the Dyana family, and of course Dyana who said she wanted to try to open her heart to him.

Flash back off

"I'll fight for Dyana" Danial was determined.

"Le, your father is hard," his mother stroked his back.

"But ma, I've lost Gea, I've been trying to get her out. Now there's Dyana, why ma, is custom always a barrier to my happiness?" Danial resigned. What if he had to face a move on for the second time, he never understood would hurt as much as he did.

"Your father strongly believes le same custom, he is the head of the village, which must uphold the previous ancestors. The crowd asked your father for help in finding a good day of marriage, what people said later. Understand le," Mama Danial advised.

"But ma, there must be a way, we can find another way right ma, I love Dyana," Danial hoped.

Mama Danial stroked the back of her last son. He was very sorry but there was nothing he could do. She knows her husband's character. Moreover, if you have to oppose custom, it is very heavy abstinence.

"You're your father's hope le, you can get through it, get rid of him." Mama Danial exited the room, leaving her in solitude.

"Can't this be changed?" Danial is at war with his soul. On the one hand he wants to be with Dyana, on the other hand he is afraid that custom will bring doom later on. Because his parents are very fond of tradition. He was confused to choose what steps to take. He does not want to be a bad boy. But his heart was not willing to let go either.

Danial got up from his bed, standing in front of a glass window. He looked at the fish swimming in his little pond. The pond he deliberately made because Dyana tau really likes fish. He plans to show it to Dyana on her birthday. Where the fish have grown. He prepared this surprise with great love. Who would have thought there would be such a problem. A problem he never imagined, because he knew, he had been lured to the sweet girl who is now his idol.

"It's my fault" Danial regretted and punched the wall hard. Blood flowed between his fingers. He no longer cared about his pain.

Flash back on,

"I'm going home tomorrow" Dyana told me.

"Well, need to be picked up?" I offered myself.

"No, I can take the bus,"

"What don't you want, why go home?"

"My sister's getting married tomorrow, I'm asking for an impromptu leave, so I can't see you either, I have to go back as soon as the show's over."

I thought at the time, he was a second child, so I didn't consider anything to express my feelings and have it. Unexpectedly, I had misperceived. She's the first child, her half-sister is getting married. I didn't know him very well yet, but it was the feeling of wanting to be close to him that made me want to fight for him and get him at that time. So that I don't question his family's genealogy.

After we were together in the first month, I only found out he was from a broken home family. The stories he told in his life made me want to take care of him more. I want to fill the void in her. It changed her sadness all this time. Replacing the affection of his father who has long been pulled over. He always smiled at the world. Give him happiness in his life. He's that simple, can make me always want to be in his days, spend time with him.

She's an independent girl who never complains, does she always? Is the first child always stronger than the others? He experienced a lot but the joy never escaped his face. Dyana, how she can smile tells her story of the pill, she laughs though hurt, making me admire her even more. He never showed his tears in front of me.

"Jalanin a long time ago" Dyana said, which excited me. My intention of wanting to have it finally materialized.

"Why do we have to be the ones that separate us?" inner Danial unraveled again. The old shock that always seemed to come again, he regretted being in this feeling. He fell in love in the wrong circumstances. Not on time.

***

"You're the first kid?" Danial asked Dyana.

"Yes, why?"

"Whoa, just ask," Danial was guilty. He couldn't have told Dyana this. On the other hand, he loved her very much. He remembers when he tried to get it.

"Jalanin aja, baby it can not be instant," Dyana said to me, over time I rely on it more and more. Missing him every day, always wanting to meet and be by his side. Different cities become distances, only via the sound that treats them. Every moment you want to meet, it is always a day that is always anticipated and can not be forgotten.

Not too long ago he enjoyed this with Dyana, but his father kekeh forbid it. Danial is determined to fight for Dyana at all costs. Because this started from a misunderstanding he had not thought of. But she wanted to end it with beauty. Such is the love that does not know who falls, what it looks like, and how it will travel. Hopefully he can be united later.
