engagement without marriage

Past Times

Tomi was silent for a while while wiping away her flowing tears. Sadness re-entered his heart. After she tells the love story of Abiyu and Ana, her best friend and sister, to Vina. His best friend besides Abiyu. Vina was a friend of Tomi when she was in college, all this time she was abroad to pursue a career. Vina meets Tomi and Abiyu at a cooperation project. And Vina blatantly tells Tomi that she seems to like Abiyu. Tomi who knows Vina well also supports her, she hopes that with Vina, Abiyu can open her heart to other women. It has been more than two years since Ana left, but Abiyu has not escaped from Ana's shadow.

Vina who listened to Tomi's story could not hold back her tears, what a heartwarming love story. She knows Ana, but does not know about their engagement.

"It seems like it will be difficult for Abiyu to let go of Ana, if you can show your earnestness, it's possible that Abiyu will accept you, But, never bring up her past, she definitely doesn't like it. Act as if you don't know anything" Tomi advised Vina.

"I don't know Tom, look at their story, even I'm not sure I can melt your best friend's heart, is he really that cold to women since long ago?", Vina tried to deepen.

"Not really, it's just that he doesn't talk too much, he can talk a lot if it feels right for someone, if you really love him, you can do it".

"hhhhuuuuhhh,, okay, but, may I ask you one thing?",

"what?".

"And why don't you still have Tom's partner, does it have anything to do with Abiyu too?".

"Hmmmmm,,, perhaps, I just want Ana to be happy, and Ana's happiness is in Abiyu's happiness, so if Abiyu is already happy, Ana will be happy there, she said, and that's when I'm gonna find my own happiness".

"It's amazing your friendship, I salute you Tom,,, but it's so hard to get close to Abiyu, it's like putting a shield on her heart".

" You're right, Ana's shadow is the shield, Abiyu really made Ana her protector, and that's what you have to defeat".

"You'd be willing if if I could make Abiyu take Ana off as her shield?, doesn't that mean Abiyu could just forget about it?".

"Because I knew Ana would not be happy to see Abiyu now, I was sure Ana wanted to be released sincerely, and not even made into a shield, I was sure, too, Ana does not like to be the cover of Abiyu's heart. And Abiyu will not forget Ana, because Ana is in the corner of her heart, she only needs to open one corner for others, in order to stay without having to shift Ana's position".

"It looks difficult Tom, but I will try, since I first knew him there is something that makes me really want to know him more, from his attitude to women, makes me curious".

Tomi smiled, "But I'm not going to let you hurt him, hopefully your intentions aren't just curious. I hope you can make him rise up from his past".

Tomi looked at the time on her watch, and went back to saying, "Well, well, it looks like you should leave, because I have a meeting in a quarter of an hour, and I'm never late".

"Aaaah,,, you're Tom, I got kicked out, but all right, I'm not here, I'm eating, laper, the owner of this office is stingy, too, the guest's time is only in love to drink doang,,,,huuuuh," protested Vina who was replied to a small laugh by Tomi.

Vina leaves Tomi's office and heads to a restaurant not far from there. Until he decided to walk. His car is still in Tomi's office parking lot. After eating, he took it.

Elsewhere, Abiyu was checking some files in her office. Since Ana's departure, she has been reluctant to return to Balikpapan, and has chosen to handle her father's company. Mr. Yadi wanted to retire and asked Abiyu to continue managing his company. And Hendra is still his trust in handling his company that is there.

Already more than two know passed, it seems that Abiyu still does not want to open a new page in her love life. Abiyu feels that her love has been buried with Ana's body. Even when his father and mother asked him about marriage, he was silent. Several times they asked, but Abiyu's answer was always not ready. In the end, his parents no longer asked him that question. They only wished that there was someone who could make Abiyu's heart open again.

The sun was burning today, making Abiyu squint her eyes, and seeing her watch showing at three in the afternoon.

"Udah wants an afternoon, but the heat is still very hot", muttered Abiyu alone.

Then Abiyu sat down crouched beside Ana's grave while slowly wiping the tombstone that read Ana's name.

"Neng,,, brother Abi come home first yes, later Abi brother must be here again, now it is almost afternoon,,,, I, I'm not going home first yes". As if talking to someone Abiyu also say goodbye to the tomb of Ana.

After that, Abiyu left the place.

A tomb guard who knew Abiyu well greeted him as he passed by who was cleaning a tomb.

"Have to go home, den,,,,".

"Yes mang,,, today it's so hot, my head is a little dizzy, oiya mang,,, this is for mamang", while handing over some fifty thousand bills to the mamang.

"Oh den, thank you, every aden here I am always in the money, may the blessing yes den,, thanks den,,,,,".

"I also thank you mang, mamang has taken care of Ana's grave if I do not have time to come here, thank you mang".

"The same den,,,,".

"Well, I did, I said yes, man,,,,".

Abiyu pleaded with the tomb guard and headed for his parked car not too far from the cemetery complex. A moment to look again at Ana's tomb, as if not willing to leave Ana's tomb. Then with a heavy sigh, Abiyu entered her car and immediately drove towards her house.

The tomb keeper stared at Abiyu's car departure, saluting Abiyu's loyalty to the girl named Ana. In his heart he prayed" O Lord, if they are not a match in this world, match them there".

He also returned to clean the tombs that look dirty one by one. Hopefully by cleaning these tombs, the residents can rest comfortably. That was his hope every time he cleaned the tombs.
