Between Love and Traditional Java

Mount Bromo

Danial Pov's,

I don't want to disappoint Dyana, but I also can't possibly be disobedient by opposing both my parents. What a burden this thought. I want things to go just as well as they should. But peace is not on my side anymore.

After the events that my sister experienced, I couldn't if I had to repeat them. As much as I love Dyana, maybe the best step is to take her off. Can it? I didn't want to disappoint my parents either. I just want to see Dyana happy. What am I supposed to do? Can I be selfish?

"Le, there's Andi and Dicko outside," a knock on the door rang out.

"Oh, yes, I did" I got up from my bed, went out to meet Andi and Dicko. They were already in my living room.

Flash back on,

"Hallo nak Andi" Danial's mother's voice was loud on her phone.

"Yes buk, what's wrong?" Andi was polite.

"Can help please comfort Danial," Danial's mother voiced her request.

"Emang Danial why buk?" Andi was confused not knowing what was happening.

"He cracked up a little night with his father, and Andi knows Dyana, right?" Danial's mother began to explain her point.

"Yes buk, I know, Danial's girlfriend right?" Andi made sure and had started to know where the story would go.

"You know Danial's father was very against him, please help comfort Danial yes," Danial's mother did this for her son.

On one hand he wants Dyana to be his daughter-in-law. But the will of Danial's father can not be denied anymore. Neither can he do anything.

Ms. Danial recalled how Dyana was very polite, sweet and beautiful. When she was sick and hospitalized, Dyana came to see her. At home, they are also friendly and do not hesitate to help. Ms. Danial saw Dyana was really good, not just imaging. Maybe a mother's instincts are sensitive. Feel with the heart rather than logic. He had loved Dyana too without realizing it.

"Yes buk, I understand, I will go to my mother's house," Andi understands Danial's current condition.

"Thank you son of Andi" Danial's mother ended her call.

Flash back off,

"What do you guys do this early?" I yawned and dropped the body on the sofa.

"Jalan Yuk, why try at home doang," Andi also dropped his body beside Danial. Dicko has been at war with his cell phone. Gaming addiction has mastered it. Wherever the quota comes from smoothly he can not be separated from his phone. His hands were too busy pressing the screen to shoot.

"Where are you going?" Actually I was a little lazy to respond. But my feelings also need to be diverted for now.

"Ke Bromo aja yuk," Dicko chimed even though his eyes focused on the screen.

"By tuh," Andi assented.

"Gue take a shower first," I got up to grab a towel in my room.

Before long the motorbike had penetrated the road, along with other vehicles. Andi and Dicko brought their own bikes. I also drive myself. My mind is on Dyana. How I had to be evil again, hurt her feelings again, broke her hopes again. I am a very disappointing man.

We have entered a vast sea of sand. I put my bike around him. I don't feel like stopping. I was just trying to calm down, enjoying the smell of morning dew and the roaring wind. Although my mental is very disturbed.

I look at the top of Mount Bromo high. I think Dyana and I have this distance. Then there was only silence within me.

"Eh. has been here is still confused," Andi accompanied my motorbike that drove slowly.

"Stop yuk first," Dicko who was behind shouted.

I pulled my bike over, took off my helmet and leaned behind a tree on the edge of the mountain. Stepping on the sea of sand that imprints the wheels of my motor.

"Don't want to interfere in your business, Dan, but if you are not allowed, mending I don't think continued," Andi patted my shoulder cheering.

"Where do you know I have a problem?" I was a little surprised by Andi.

"Ah lo, we are right how long anyway, you tuh if his face is bent rich chicken tyren that, must be the problem because bucin, nothing else can make you upset other than love," Andi confused looking for an excuse.

"Yes Dan, if you've been bruised it can be severe if disappointed," Dicko confirmed while nodding.

"Thank you, having your rich friends is really happy," I feel like they always know when I need them.

Dyana Pov's,

"Why are you yung?" Upil asked me, when he saw me riled up.

"It's a loh, tumben no message from Danial, usually every day should be ngabarin," I went back and forth to check whatsappku.

"Still sleeping yung, still early in the morning, too" Upil tried to make me think positively.

"Where is it possible? He didn't do anything" I started to get upset. Because he's not usually like this.

"You're so possessive of yung," Upil finished his bread.

"Yes, go up, open a shop!" bring Lutvi to me.

I put my phone in the nightstand. While working all hp should be collected. As usual, I did my routine. Sweeping, display, stocking and displaying new items, serving customers so on. Until the break time arrived, I immediately took my phone and then returned to the dormitory.

I saw my WA again, no message from Danial. I'm getting curious.

"Why the hell is he?" i muttered.

stok.. The sound of knocking on the door sounded, I turned my head and it was Lutvi who just bent her head.

"Remain the Pill, come in" I told Upil to come in.

"Have you rested?" I asked while finishing combing my hair.

"yung yung, first shift too, just that I came out for a while," Lutvi sat down beside me.

"Where to tell him yes, I'm getting confused," Lutvi deepened in her heart.

Flash back on,

"Vi, can you ask for help?" Danial sent a message.

"What's up Dan, why are you WA me?" Lutvi is confused because Dyana said Danial is difficult to connect with.

"You'll see my Dyana WA story, yeah," Danial wanted to let Dyana down on purpose.

"meaning? you want to make Dyana misunderstand me?" Lutvi's a little upset. He does not want Dyana to think things out and even ruin their friendship.

"No, that's not what I mean, I don't actually intend to let her down, but.." Danial was confused as to how to start.

"But what? don't make my best friend hurt anymore" Lutvi replied to Danial's message with an angry emoticon.

"I'm really asking for help with you, I love him so much, so I don't know how to break it, my father still cheesy forbid our relationship, I can't give more hope to him right? It hurts me too Vi" Danial shed her tears while expressing her feelings, unbeknownst to Lutvi.

"I tried yes," Lutvi replied to Danial's last message.

Flash back off,

"I don't have the heart with Dyana" Lutvi's dilemma.

"Should I tell him? Making him misunderstand and disappointed in Danial?" anxiety struck his heart.

"Danial still hasn't called you Na?" Lutvi started the conversation.

"Not yet, don't know where," I tried positive thinking.

Lutvi pretends to be lying down and scrool her phone screen.

"Eh yung, Danial is going for a walk again," Lutvi felt guilty for acting like that. He showed his phone to Dyana.

"Not in my story, she has my privacy?" I wondered after checking my phone.

"Hmm. don't know I'm yung," Lutvi put down her hp. Lutvi felt so guilty.

"My message is not in return," I tried to smile at Lutvi. Lutvi was just quietly confused as to what kind of behavior.

"After yuk yung's work, maybe he's busy, later also ngabarin you," Lutvi diverted Dyana's mind for a while.

"But it's not usually like this tau yung," I reluctantly kept my phone back.

I walked with Upil to my place of work.

"I'm not calm yung," I still feel strange with Danial's attitude. Not usually he did not membuhungin me, and instead this he memprivasi me from the story. This is not the usual one.

"Could he not want me to bother him?" i'm guessing.

"But I don't usually meddle in his affairs either, nor do I forbid him from going anywhere, even with his friends." I struggled with my increasingly curious mind as I got no answer.

"Already yung, don't think about it, maybe he wants to be alone" Upil advised me.

"But we don't fight, our relationship is good" I'm sure nothing happens between us.

"Already, yuk yuk work, my spirit," Upil hugged me for a moment, and returned to his workplace.

From a distance Lutvi sees Dyana who is just pensive behind the storefront. Stooped his face with his chin. Quiet with a raging heart and a wandering mind.

"I'm sorry, yung" Lutvi felt guilty for knowing the truth but had no intention of telling Dyana.

"Maybe this is the best among you yung," Lutvi continued his path.

"Hopefully you can let each other go," Lutvi was moved by the love story of her best friend.
