Between you and me
Decisions
"I've never felt in love, she's my first love, she's the one who can make my heart flutter. But what should I do if both of my parents reject bi." Dennis says. And tears flowed slowly from her cheeks. Sadness was very visible on his face. Aunty can feel the sadness felt by the employer who has been in care since childhood.
"Prophey Mas Dennis. Remember the words of old man Dennis, if this is all for the good of the mas and the descendants of the future. Not that Dera is not good, but it's not right to be Dennis' mas companion."
"Bi, I just found out what it's like to be in love, and now I just know it doesn't feel blessed." Dennis paused for a moment, putting together the words he wanted to express. "I'm afraid bi, I'm afraid of hurting Dera's heart. I don't want to see him sad bi" He continued in a stammering tone.
"The longer you hold, the more pain you feel, Dera. So it's best not to be delayed to say it again"
"Bi, is ending my relationship with Dera the only way?" Dennis asked, hoping there was another way besides breaking up with Dera.
"That's the best mas" bi Inda's words dashed Dennis's hopes of staying with Dera. With a troubled mind, Dennis left for college. Who knows by meeting his friends he can momentarily forget his problem.
Dennis's class is over. Lecturers who are scheduled to attend are prevented until the lecture is delayed. Thank goodness, inner Dennis. His mind is not focused. Ari and Feri are already waiting for him at the campus park. The two friends were no less busy with Dennis. But because Dennis said there was something important he wanted to say, they immediately took a moment to meet Dennis.
"Waah Denn, you look thin yeah" Ari said as soon as Dennis approached them.
"Sama Denn, hopefully we can both graduate" said Feri. "By the way, what do you want to tell us?" Reciprocity.
Dennis also told his heartbreak about talking to his parents this morning. Ari and Feri are seen silently listening carefully to Dennis' every word.
"I know this must be hard for you Den." Said Feri after Dennis finished his story. "You're the first time dating to be hindered blessing" Feri then fell silent. "But I'm sure the Dennis I've known all along has good thoughts. I know you can handle this problem well" he continued. Dennis was silent trying to digest Fery's words.
"Yes Denn, although it's your first experience dealing with a problem like this, but we're sure you can get through it." Added Ari.
"Remember Den, no parent in the world wants to see his child disappointed and sad, believe that they do it for the good of his child. Maybe now you feel devastated, but rest assured that one day you will be grateful for the decision of your parents at this time" said Ari again. "Try to remember, you used to be very excited to want to hike with friends in the complex. But both of your parents banned it for reasons of erratic weather. You are sad because all your friends are gone and only you are not. But what happened, when they arrived at the location, suddenly the weather was not friendly and finally the climb was canceled. That is one proof that the parent knows best for the child even though sometimes what they think goes against our will." Said Ari.
"Den, we believe you can make the best decision." Said Feri. "If Den stays up, we'll always be there for you" he continued, patting Dennis on the shoulder.
