Dilemma Love Friend
episode 22
"Ma! Can Riri talk to Mama?" Riri ventured to talk to her mother-in-law about Iyan.
"Riri said what, honey?" mama Alvi looked at Riri gently.
"Anu Ma..."
"What's up, baby? How nervous is that?!" mama Alvi hugged Riri who looked confused.
"Eee.. ma, Riri apologized in advance. Bang Iyan's.. aanu..."
"Iyan why?" asked mommy gemes to see Riri's behavior.
"Anu Ma's... Bang Iyan.. ngajak Riri marry!" finally by mustering all his courage Riri finished his speech.
Mama Alvi's flat expression makes Riri's tongue feel cheesy.
"Did Riri accept Iyan?" ask mama slowly.
Riri shook her head, quickly.
"No, Ma. Riri is not ready to forget Erwin and Riri does not want to be angry with Mama Riri if Riri receives the Iyan bang" said Riri honestly.
Unexpectedly, Mama Alvi laughed amusedly at Riri's words.
"Mommy's not pa-pa, is it? Sorry Riri Ma, if Riri is wrong? Irving..."
Riri was speechless as she quickly hugged him tightly.
"Riri Riri's happiness is in Riri's hands, not in Mama's. Riri deserves to be happy. Mama's sure Riri won't forget Erwin because Ray's with us."
"Erwin will always be in our hearts. Erwin wants Riri to be happy. Mama, Papa, Sarah and Rani also want Riri to be happy. And if Iyan could make Riri and Ray happy, we would all support you." mama kissed Riri softly on her forehead.
"But Riri is not yet convinced by Riri's feelings for Iyan's bang, Ma. Riri felt unworthy to be with bang Iyan."
"Let's choose, Ri. Like the song you sang the same as Iyan." Sarah appeared from her room. Hugged Riri who was bowed quietly.
"Find a man as good and sincere as Iyan hard loh, Ri. One in a thousand." said Sarah.
"Anything can't be compared to Iyan." Sarah said to her husband who had just come out of the room.
"What?" Bima looked at the confused women who were sitting at the table eating.
"Five a husband ever left me when I was pregnant Audrey" said Sarah, glaring at her husband.
"I was out of service at the time, baby." Bima defended herself.
Sarah sneers.
"Huh, still losing the same Iyan. He was willing to not go outside for the sake of nemenin Riri check the content and take Riri to teach. Though he's not Riri's husband." spray Sarah.
Bima.
"Already. We're talking about Riri not listening to your quarrels." mama.
Sarah looked at Riri.
"You better think about it, Ri. Iyan is a rare guy. Sister Sarah assures you there must be many girls out there who hope to be Iyan's wife. Cook you want to let go of a guy as good as Iyan?" Sarah tries to influence Riri to accept Iyan.
"Mama also agrees with Sarah, Ri. Iyan was a good boy and never cheered. Iyan also told me how mom and dad if he likes Riri."
Riri looked at her in-laws in disbelief.
"When, Ma?" ask Riri.
"Since mom asked him to look after you."
"Well!!! That's kan..."
"Yes. ever since he helped you who almost got hit first." replied mama kalem.
"That time Mama asked for help Iyan to be Riri's bodyguard. At first he did not want to, afraid that Riri was angry he said. But finally Iyan confessed that Riri was his first love."
"Seriously, Ma? Has she ever been in love before?"
Sarah shook her head, amazed. Just this time he met a guy of Iyan's age who just fell in love.
"Iyan and Riri used to be childhood friends. Iyan said, Riri when he was a child when asked who his girlfriend was he must have answered his girlfriend babang." obviously mama made red cheeks Riri.
"Who is that?" ask Sarah, kepo.
"The branch is Iyan. Riri's little call for Iyan."
Sarah looked at Riri with a smile. Bima just bobbing heads, amused.
"At that time Riri was still a child Ma, did not know what a courtship was. Riri taunya just bang Iyan who is good with Riri" said Riri, holding back the embarrassment.
Sarah and Bima laughed. Riri just grinned, embarrassed.
"It has. You better think again about Iyan's invitation to get married. We all agree that you will accept Iyan. Because we know who Iyan is. You must know Iyan well, right, Ri?" mama stroked Riri's head, soft
Riri nodded slowly Brother Sarah patted Riri's shoulder slowly.
"Think carefully. This is not only for your sake, but also for the sake of baby Ray. At least he had a father figure he had never seen. And remember, as long as it's in the womb until Ray was born only Iyan he knows." said Sarah.
Riri pov's
Long time I was pensive trying to remove the banter dihati. Mama's words remind me of my childhood with Iyan's babang.
the flashback
"Yan, the river ahead is overflowing. How are we gonna cross later? The bridge was invisible, submerged in the flood." bang Andi told the babang who was waiting for Riri to collect forest fruits.
Friends who participated in the forest that day seemed confused because there were some who were not good at swimming, including Riri.
" Gini aja, bang Andi first swim there and tie a rope in a big tree there. After that the others crossed while holding on to the rope." the gap gave a solution that was nudged in agreement by other friends.
One by one the children managed to cross the river. And when it was Riri's turn, the little girl was just squatting gawking at the river that was flowing quite profusely due to overflowing.
"Come on Yi, it's your turn to cross." Babang held Riri's hand to hold on tightly to the rope that was already available.
"Care down, bang. The water is so heavy. What if a crocodile shows up?" ask Riri plain.
Babang smiled.
"Let's not be afraid. Let babang gendong Ayi. Babang kan pinter swim. Ayi hugs a fast babang huh?" persuade the crossbar while holding the small body of Riri who immediately hugged him tightly.
And after they managed to cross the little Riri did not even want to come down from the sling. Be the babang carrying Riri until home and resigned to be lectured by his mother for inviting Riri to play with the forest. Though the real gaping followed Riri to the forest and took Riri home.
flashback off
I am am ticklish myself when I remember my childhood which is not much different from my High School.
High School time I often trouble Erwin, my late husband, while the small time babang that I always bothered. Whatever my mischief must be the gap that became the growth.
🎵Trapping the road away
set the direction I want to go
put me on one event
which makes lara's heart
Near you I am calm
your eyes are full of questions
the mystery of life will disappear
happy at the end of the story?
Love.refreshing my heart.
don't want anything to take you
my instincts said I didn't want to repeat them
losing love, losing love,
the heart is lifeless
I uphold your advice
love him who loves me
the heart that used to sail has now been pulled over is not our lives finally to be happy
Love.let there be.
let the past pass
life is just a story
stories about leaving
and the abandoned
The love...
