Father's Choice of Sort

Cross Arrival

" San, get out the spout !" Nurul said after finding out who came to see.

" Who is coming ?" Ask Sandra reluctantly. He had no intention of dealing with people at all.

" Don't ask much, sneak out...." Pinta Nurul made her curious.

" Yes yes.... Not very excited !" Grieved Sandra.

" Can you walk by yourself ?" Nurul asked who was still afraid of Sandra walking while staggering.

" While.... "

" Oh, be careful, slow down !"

" Your !!!! You think I'm out of what kind !" Shouted Sandra annoyed.

Nurul chuckled amusedly hearing it.

" Sandra ?" Sapa Gilang after seeing Sandra.

" Mas Gilang why are you here ?" Sandra asked in surprise.

Sandra and Gilang finally chatted together. Nurul pamit made tea because he did not want to eavesdrop on their conversation.

" I'm so sorry about your mother's passing. I'm sorry I just got here now, I just arrived from abroad this morning." Silang.

" It's okay, thank you." Reply Sandra stiffly.

" You.... Are you okay ?" Tanya Gilang who saw Sandra look pale and not excited.

" Of course...." Answer Sandra again.

Both feel awkward chatting. It had been a while since they had met after Sandra's rejection on campus that time. After that Sandra did not hear from Gilang anymore. Now the man who had stopped in his heart suddenly reappeared.

" I think you're lying. Anyone can see how you are now San.." The handsome man said pity.

" The strong.... I'm sure you can get through this."

Sandra let out a long breath hearing that.

Shut up.

" How's your relationship with Al ?" Ask Gilang afterwards.

Sandra scrunched her forehead. Why did Gilang ask about his relationship with Alfian ?

" Don't get me wrong, I'm just asking..." The unpleasant word Gilang was stared at like that by Sandra.

Sandra did not answer. His eyes then returned sad.

" I want a divorce from her..." Sandra said softly.

" What ?? Divorced ?? You sure ?" Tanya Gilang was shocked.

" Why am I holding on to him ?" Tanya Sandra then told me about the beginning of the incident that befell her mother.

" Mm.... I reckon.... Al is not entirely guilty. Please consider again." Gilang said after hearing the story from Sandra.

Sandra was surprised to hear that from Gilang's mouth. Aren't they both enemies ? Last meeting Gilang also expressed his desire for Sandra to divorce Alfian. Shouldn't Gilang be happy now to hear his wish was achieved ? But why is Gilang just like defending Alfian ?

" You're surprised ?" Saying with a smile.

" You must be thinking why I say that. I'm just telling you the truth about Sandra, regardless of how bad our relationship is. From what I heard from you just now, Alfian is innocent. Her intentions are good, she invites you to visit because she may think you miss your mother or she wants to make you happy with it. I can assure you that she doesn't know about Rena coming to see your mother. As evil as Al is, he will never put anyone's life in danger. I'm more sure if Rena is making it up, I know she was a very cunning girl. For the sake of getting whatever he wanted he was willing to do anything even if it was harming or sacrificing others." It was clearly Gilang who saw Sandra's confused face.

" you.... Don't you hate him ?" Ask Sandra to change the subject.

" I just wanted to thank him. Because with yesterday's events I became aware of what love is." Gilang.

"I want to tell you a little bit. After your college days, I was so devastated and did stupid things that hurt myself. Fortunately, Dias came to see me..."

" Mas Gilang also knew Mas Dias ?" Cut the curious Sandra.

" Of course... Dias and I grew up in the same neighborhood since childhood. He introduced me to Alfian so that the three of us would be friends." Gilang smiled to tell.

" Mmm" Timpal Sandra who was a little surprised to know.

" I went on. That day Dias said many things... Of the many he said, only one word made me slowly realize something. I was stunned when Dias said about fate. Yes Sandra.... Destinies..... It took me a while to understand. But then I put together events after events that have happened before. It was only then that I understood why all the efforts and efforts I put in to get you back then had never worked. I can't fight Sandra's destiny.... While Alfian who is not interested in you at all, who always does not do good and often treats yourself arbitrarily just easily get yourself as his bride even though he does not want it. Then I thought, should I keep chasing something I can never reach ? Not Sandra... I will never be able to fight against destiny. Regardless of how God makes you a couple, you are meant to be together. So slowly I adjusted myself. My parents then told me to take care of the business that was overseas. Incidentally, maybe God gave me a way to forget you."

" Short story I went abroad. But I never once could forget you. I've always been overshadowed by your smile, your jokes and also your innocence. But strangely, there is no more pounding or pain in your memory. There I began to realize that the real feeling I had for you was not love, but affection like a brother to his sister. I just wanted to protect you, to take care of you... Wanted to keep seeing you smile happily .... It doesn't matter who your owner is." Said Gilang smiling happily. Now he's relieved to be able to explain all that to Sandra.

Sandra just silently responded. Do you have to be sad or happy ? He used to tell Gilang to forget himself. Now..., when the man in front of her only has feelings of affection like to a sister it makes Sandra a little disappointed.

" Sandra's.... No cry..... Sorry if there's a wrong word I said. " Said Gilang who was a little panicked to see Sandra shed tears.

" No mas... I'm not sad, I'm crying because I'm happy for you. I can finally forget." Sandra said she was lying.

" It's not so Sandra... I can never forget you, but I only realize my true feelings for you. I'm still the same as I used to be, I still love you. I promise I won't let anyone hurt you. I'll always be there for you like a brother who's ready for his sister." Clearly Crossed.

Sandra smiled wryly. Disappointment hurts more than injury. But he did not want to regret what he had said before.

" You want to be my sister ?" Ask Gilang expectantly.

Sandra wiped her tears. Then looked at Gilang who was looking at him seriously.

" Of course I would..... I'm grateful that Mas Gilang wants to be Sandra's sister." Sandra.

" thank you.... I'm so glad to hear that. Then you should promise your sister this ... "

" What promise ?" Ask Sandra.

" You have to promise me that you'll always be smiling and happy. Sertaaa.., obey all these words of your brother." Gilang.

" Mm.... How about ?" Sandra pretended to think.

" Okay.... I promise." Sandra.

The two of them smiled together.

" Because you promised, now I want you to obey my request. Now I want you to eat a lot." Gilang. From earlier he saw Nurul who was standing not far behind Sandra giving a feeding code for Sandra. Luckily Gilang immediately responded to what Nurul meant.

" But mas.... Sandra's not tasteful." Said Sandra lazily.

" It was a promise. Must be kept.... Nurul...? Please take food !" Shouted Gilang who pretended not to see Nurul giggling without a sound.

" Siaaap boss. The food is coming soon." Sahut Nurul excited.

Not long after, Nurul came with two sweet teas and a plate of rice and side dishes.

" Let's eat..." Gilang Order.

" But mas...."Sandra looked reluctant after seeing the rice in front of her.

" No buts ... The shop has to eat a lot. Here I bribe." Gilang snatched the plate held by Sandra.

Sandra finally said. Gilang bribed him with pleasure. Several times there were happy laughter from both. Nurul also looks relieved because Sandra finally wants to eat right.

But they don't realize that Alfian saw them. He clenched both his hands while staring furiously. Right, Alfian has just arrived with Dias. Because they were busy laughing until they did not hear and realized the arrival of Alfian.
