Devotion of Love

The Office

"Well, get this letter! Read it carefully. If you agree, sign it immediately. So I can process it!" agam said softly, Tika looked up to look at Agam.

Tika took the file from Agam's hand. Tika looked to have furrowed her brows. There was a sense of disbelief when he saw Agam hand over the file that Tika had been struggling to wait for the past two years. After reading the letter. Tika signed all the files without exception.

"Why don't you ask the contents of that file? Don't you want to demand something from me!" said Agam coldly, Tika shook her head slowly.

Tika would not ask Agam anything. Agam's decision and decisiveness that Tika had been waiting for. If Agam could decide now. Then why else would Tika ask or demand? Because Tika's biggest demands have been met. The life Tika wanted would happen. There is no need for drama that will prolong the problems between them. The day is all over, whether for a while or forever?

"I don't want to demand anything from you. One thing I want to know. After all this time I've been waiting for this file to exist. Today you suddenly handed it to me. Without wind or rain. I should have asked, what is the reason behind your assertiveness!" tika said, Agam walked away from Tika.

Agam stood staring out the window of Tika's office. I remember the farewell that happened between them. After that time, Agam began to ponder. He thought of Dirga's words that suddenly made him realize. Long before they got married. Tika and Agam are always at a crossroads. But Tika was always wise in thinking. While Agam is always weak and slow in deciding. A much older age, does not guarantee Agam is able to think mature. Because all this time Tika who is always calm and firm in deciding the problems between them.

FLASHBACKS

"Kartika Putri Anggara, the sweet hijab girl who likes twilight. May I sit beside you!" agam said while sending a smile towards Tika. Seen Tika nodded slowly, confirming Agam's words.

"Please sir, no one forbids!" tika said kindly. Then back down, actually until this moment. Tika never saw Agam's face in detail. Tika always looked down when faced with Agam. Tika never looked at Agam, because she could not look at what was not her faith.

"Why Tika? Why did it end like this? My sincere race, defeated by filial piety to the old man!" said Agam lirih, he turned to look at Tika who remained down. No response from Tika. He remained silently lowered his head, as if there was an answer under his feet. Tika tries to find the answer behind Agam's nervousness.

"Sir Agam, there is nothing wrong in our story. No one gets hurt, if we are sincere for the sake of filial piety to parents. There is no reason for us to be devoted to our parents. Although we must bury in a love story that has not yet begun, but real love is embedded deep in the heart. Because our parents, never need a reason when raising and loving us. Should we return their warm embrace, by leaving them. Go to love, establish a new relationship by forgetting the old relationship." said Tika lirih, Agam just lowered his head without being able to speak. Tika's words tore at her agitated heart. His love for Tika is real, but the sacrifice of his parents is also undeniable.

Doubtful weighing, will survive on his love or filial piety to his parents. But Tika's wise words, opened her heart's eyes. If it is inappropriate as a child. We forget our parents' love just for the love we just felt.

"Sir Agam, you are an educated man. You are also a teacher, without me explaining for sure Mr. Agam felt. How difficult is it to educate our students? How did Mr Agam teach us? To serve our parents and teachers. So why is it now that Mr Agam seems to have forgotten the teaching? Mr. Agam is lulled by a love that does not necessarily make you happy. While both of your parents obviously only want your happiness!" tika lirih said while putting on a thin smile without looking at Agam. Although Tika never looked at her, but Tika felt that Agam was always staring at her. Agam listen to Tika's words, but somehow his ears seem deaf? His sight was unguided and his mind was far-flung? Agam like a body without life, empty and dazed thinking of a love story that ran aground before it began.

"When in your silence is kept the simplicity that is now the reason I love you. My love for you made me realize. How precious you are. The simplicity of your thinking makes me change my affection for you. With my love for my parents. Wake myself up if my love doesn't clap one hand. A simple view of you who would rather go. Rather than survive, if it only hurt my parents. Make my heart's firmness with you bigger. I'm not going to beg you to fight for this taste. Actually my race and your race are the same, but we only need more time to win it." said Agam Lirih, Tika nodded slowly.

"Sir Agam, now dedicate to your parents. Rest assured that if I am made from your lost ribs, then one day I will return. We will be united in the sacred bond of marriage. But if I come back later, you're dating another woman. Remember that in every breath of yours, there was once a sweet, twilight-loving girl who liked you. The girl who hopes to be your mistress, without even wanting to hurt your parents." said Tika explained her heart. Agam nodded understanding Tika's every word. Now this is the best path to choose.

"When I will be faithfully waiting for you. I will hold my heart for you, I will assure myself that you are all I have been waiting for. Go if it's your best, I'll be here waiting for you. I used to be able to fight for you in the third of my night, now I will fight in silence to wait for you. Thank you for reminding me of my time with my parents. I'll make them see your sincere affection. I'll prove to them that you are the encouragement of my life." Agam said with a smile, even though the pain felt so deep.

"Sir Agam, I don't expect any promises from you. Let the soul mate and time answer all these flavors. I wouldn't have been hurt, had you been waiting to find another woman better than me. Mr. Agam deserves to be happy without burdening your race for me. Pak Agam imam salatku, lecturer when stupid. I admire you may your happiness be my happiness." said Tika. A heartfelt prayer for Agam, the man he loved. But it will be hard for them to be together.

"I won't be burdened by my promise to you. If my happiness becomes your happiness, then your pain becomes my pain. Remember me in your every bow, guard your heart for me. Remember there are faithful men waiting for you here!" said Agam, Tika nodded slowly. A promise made without expectation of certainty.

FLASH BACK OFF

"Your words many years ago. Teaches me the ropes of a soul mate that will never go wrong. I began to realize, however hard I tried to survive with you. If Allah SWT wills not. It will all be in vain and only hurt you. I haughtily acknowledge the maturity of your attitude. Now I am fully aware. Life has to choose and I choose to let you go. So that your heart doesn't get hurt any deeper!" said Agam firmly.

"Thank you, I have fulfilled my request!" said Tika lirih, then signed the file given by Agam.

"Aika!" call Agam, Tika looked up to look at Agam. Tika saw Agam focus on looking at her.

"Why do you want to be so separated from me? Does this have anything to do with anyone else?" agam said, Tika shook her head.

"I don't want to live as an ungodly child. Your parents deserve to have you completely. Those who raised you, I should not fight with them. Even though the breakup was wrong, it persisted by disappointing your parents. I'll never be able to. As a wife I hurt your mother, but as the mother of Hanif. I'll be the one who gets hurt. Meetings and partings are inevitable. But brotherhood can never be broken. Mas Agam may not be my husband, but I will be able to be your sister!" tika said, Agam lowered his head.

"This is the happiness I have destroyed with my old attitude. The warmth of your call, the thrill of my heart. Thank you Tika, at least I feel the happiness that once disappeared!" agam said, Tika nodded slowly.

"The trial schedule will be there in the next week!" agam said, Tika nodded with a smile.
