CURTAINS OF THE PAST

SOLICIT

It was almost dark at that time, Toni was still running along the bus terminal in her village to find the whereabouts of Iffah. Even several times he got off the bus and asked the knek by mentioning

his characteristics along with the color of his clothes are still remembered Toni before Iffah left earlier.

When I want to make a path for myself, why are there still obstacles?

Where are you, Iffah? Don't make myself worry here…

Toni was leaning on a bus that was about to leave for town that afternoon. Without him noticing, Iffah was right behind him. It's just that Iffah, who knows Toni is chasing him there, immediately hides his head down so as not to be seen by Toni.

Why are you still chasing me? Is it not enough for you to play with my heart?~ Iffah sobbed in light of Misya's impeccable speech explaining who Toni really was.

The memory of Toni being so familiar with Milka and a little awkward to Kamelia came back dancing in her memory.

How could I not believe the words of that woman named Misya? Because that's exactly what you see, Antoni.

I don't even know why I'm this stupid? To the point that I didn't realize it from the beginning.

Iffah did not intend to wipe the tears that flowed swiftly through the segments of his eyes that were getting moist earlier.

*****

After sending a short message to Bobi, Toni did not immediately go home. He first stopped by the Arayan residence. A place where he can forget things for a moment all his problems with

meet his little princess.

“What's the problem?.” A question landed from Kemil's lips as he was tightly hugging the tiny toddler greedily in the backyard.

“I'm late Kemil.” The words are short and the eyes are a little teary. Many times he blinked his slightly narrowed eyes so as not to spill the clear liquid from it.

“You mean Ton?.” Kemil scrunched his forehead not understanding the words of his cousin.

“Just as I was about to tell Iffah everything, Misya had first messed things up.” Kemil was shocked to hear Toni's words.

Toni nodded slowly as if giving up on her current state.

“The woman, I don't know what she wants.” Kemil even looks angry to hear the name of Misya.

“Entah Kemil, I don't even know what he wants.” anymore Toni said with a tired tone.

“Milka seems to have soundly in your lap, biark I moved to room.” Pinta Kemil grabbed Milka from Toni's lap.

After delivering Milka to the room, Kemil returned to meet Toni in the backyard. He knew, at that time his cousin really needed a friend who can be invited to tell stories and listen to his complaints.

“I should how Kemil?” Tanya Toni was hoping for some advice.

“Difficulty, Ton. No one really understands a woman. But there is nothing wrong if you want to continue to fight for your love for him. He must also hear your version of the story, even if you have to be a little imposing. Believe me, if you really want her to be a mama for Milka and your children. Fight for your love, it is not too late for you and for him to know the truth.”

Kemil said so wisely convinced his cousin's heart.

“Ya, thank you Kemil. You're right, and hopefully Ghali's sister will still help me to soften her heart .” Toni exhaled with relief after hearing Kemil's words.

They continued to chat until late about many things until Toni was able to forget her complaints.

I'm lucky to have a family, I have Kemil and the others. I'm lucky to still have them. Who will forgive my mistakes, accept me back despite many mistakes, advise me and most especially for me always there when I am difficult and need them beside me.
