Duren Palm

Inner wound

Inside the BMW i8, Veno is trying to regulate his emotions. Several times he inhaled a deep breath from his nose and let it out slowly through his mouth.

"Quiet Veno ... facing the witch was not able with emotion. The more you fight, the harder he will try to get what he wants" said Veno, who tried to calm himself.

drtt .. drttt .. drrtt ....

Veno's phone vibrated and it looked like Ardi's name was there.

"Tumben ni ni nelfon's son" said Veno. He also immediately received the call.

"Why?" said Veno to the point to someone across the phone.

"not busy? Somebody wants me to talk about it. Now I'm again at the campus cafe," replied Ardi.

"Alright, I'll be there soon" said Veno briefly, he immediately closed the call and put his phone in his pants pocket.

"Bas on the command of the lord!" dengus Veno was upset. He drove his car to his meeting place with his cousin.

Ardi is in a cafe near the campus. He was enjoying black coffee while waiting for his only cousin to arrive.

Ardi stared at the scene outside the window.

The sky is cloudy and looks also drizzle rain began to fall.

"What other kids are you?" guman Ardi slowly.

Ardi took out his phone and sent a message to his future wife.

Ardid.

You again ap?

Riant.

K**what it is! I'm stuck with my mother again, so I can't leave the room.😣😣**

Instantly Ardi was chuckled amused to see the messages and emoticons that Rianti sent.

Ardid.

Yes don't mengedumel it donk .. ntar beautiful you ilang.

Riant.

Let alone! It's done.😊

Reading the message from Rianti made Ardi laugh out loud. There were even some female students who perpetuated the rare event with their cell phones.

"What's wrong with the ice master?" ask a student sitting at a table not far from Ardi.

"Where do I know. Maybe again chat with his girlfriend," said another student.

"Well, I have a boyfriend."

"Hmm .. maybe. Eh but if the ice master smiles so my heart melts huh."

"Hust .. don't macem the same killer lecturer. Could-can you will be in difficult pas subjects him."

The three of them stopped the hibahan and left the cafe.

Ardi who heard the neighboring whispers of the students could only smile. He was still staring at the HP screen and continuing his activities.

Ardid.

Sorry me well .. My work schedule is still very tight, so our wedding can not be as lively as others. But I promise, 2 months to come, I will make the most magnificent wedding for you.

Riant.

Ardi laughed again after seeing a reply from Rianti.

"Hahaha .. You exist. Being in touch with you makes me come back like ABG" Ardi muttered while trying to hold back his laughter.

Suddenly a man sat in front of him. Ardi's eyes, which were originally fixed to the cellphone, now turned to look at the figure of the man.

"You've come, '" said Ardi, putting his phone on the table.

Veno was just admiring, he called the cafe employees and ordered a coffee latte.

"Why are you smiling to yourself?" asked Veno who apparently had seen a smile from his cousin's face.

"I want to get married" replied Ardi in a flat voice.

"Yes I already know, papi said earlier," said Veno while looking around.

"This is the Master's order" said one employee and immediately put a cup of coffee latte on the table. Veno simply nodded and let go of a smile to the female employee.

Ardi was silent, seen drifting in his daydream. He recalled Rianti's expression when he kissed her.

I'm sure yesterday it was his first kiss, Inner Ardi.

"C!" pekik Veno tries to disperse Ardi's reverie.

Ardi flinched in shock and tried to refocus.

"You why the hell! I'm like a crazy person, you know" asked Veno in annoyance.

Veno sipped the coffee latte in front of him.

Ardi just smiled and showed the contents of the message on his HP. Veno who read the contents of the message seemed to frown as if he understood the situation that he thought felt strange.

"Your future wife is underage!" cry Veno with a serious face and wide-open eyes. Some of the students there even looked at them.

Hearing Veno's words made Ardi throw a handkerchief on his cousin's face.

"You don't want to talk, by the way" replied Ardi who was in a high tone an octave.

"This is the proof! He just called you dhe sir," Veno said while pointing at the contents of the message on the HP screen.

"He's 18 years old" replied Ardi briefly.

"Wahh .. You are crazy! That little boy!" Veno is provoked by emotions, not understanding the way of Ardi's mind.

"Outside many women who want to be your wife, but why do you choose a girl who still stinks?" said Veno who still does not believe in the decision of his cousin.

"Because she looks like Stella" said Ardi casually. He was still looking out the window.

Veno stared pushyly at the man before him.

"You're totally outrageous Ardi! You can play with the girl. Don't you feel guilty playing with her feelings? Aren't you afraid he'll find out the truth and will hate you?"

Ardi stared intently at Veno's eyes.

"I'm not going to play him. I'll love him and I'll make sure he can love me too. I will always keep him with me. I won't let Stella leave me twice. He'll never know the truth if you don't open your mouth."

"She's not Stella, Ardi! Your wife died a long time ago! Be aware and accept the truth. Stella and the girl are two different people, grab your happiness and forget the past" Veno said, trying to wake Ardi up.

"You don't know my suffering! I also want to be happy, but how can I be happy and move on if half my life is filled with happiness with good memories with Stella. When Stella left, happiness also began to disappear from me. Stella was everything to me, she was my first and last love. When I met that girl I felt like I was seeing Stella again. I'm sure I can be happy if I can get the girl." said Ardi and there was a look of sadness on his face.

Veno. He did not realize how deep the wound that Ardi had been through all this time. He did not think that loving someone too deeply would give even deeper wounds.

Both of them were silent following the direction of their minds.

"I'm sorry yes. I don't know how you feel and instead try to judge you" Veno said, holding his cousin's shoulder. He left Ardi, who was still reluctant to get out of his chair.
