...The Three Eden Women Dizzy...

...****************...

How not to get dizzy if three women are talking to express their taste to him. As a man, Eden could not make a choice. For now, he was still holding the ring that would be fixed on his ring finger Anggun.

Daeng Guru who is His Father Anggun felt as if he was being played by Eden. Though the success achieved Eden so far thanks to the overflow of Science from Daeng Guru. Eden became one of the successful entrants overseas because of his expertise in making Phinisi.

Guests no longer enjoy the pantun chants, dishes lined up on long tables have become a sight to behold. Because the whispers of the guests had disturbed the happy day that almost that night to invite Daeng Guru to come, standing between three women and one man in the spotlight whispered guests questioning who the woman who had just given Eden her old clothes was. Graceful not only wanted to be angry but the ring that was still inside her box that she was holding was dropped right under her feet Eden.

"Eden, who are those two women ?" Daeng Master questioned the two women who each stood before him.

Resky who before the arrival of Miss, he still looks relaxed, sitting in a chair that is so close to his seat Eden. However, when Resky saw Miss coming by carrying her clothes Eden and heard her talking full of sentiments. He stood up from his seat, taking the same position, parallel to Miss.

Resky knew and understood that his love for Eden was longing. He just felt the feeling of falling in love after Eden was not with him. Hence, he did not want what he had already expressed to Eden to mean nothing after the presence of Miss in this event.

Daeng Guru questioned it again to Eden, "Eden, who are the two women ?. Answer, don't be dumb, you want to let me down or you want my son Graceful to cry because of you. My son, love you so much so don't break his heart, if those two women are your past, don't let them both come back into your life. You already have me, have Grace and have my family. Not good Nak as a man back to the bleak times"_

"The two women had been gloomy, they had long since passed, they were gone or indeed it was not fate to live with them. Now go ! meet Anggun, he is indeed quiet but once he is angry then you will be kicked. Daeng thought, you know how graceful it has been"_

Eden only realized that he was being reprimanded, advised by Daeng Guru. When he was about to turn his body and wanted to walk past the many guests who had witnessed the excitement. Resky pulled his hand and said, "Eden, what less am I. You may leave me here and go see your candidate but at least answer the question you once told me that I repeated in your ear."

The same thing happened, this time Missing which reminded Eden.

"Have you forgotten ? back then, we were still in your village, that night, I still remember it clearly. Monday night accompanied by small waves under the sky Karumpa, you expressed half the taste that is in me that I cannot tell you. You who open it, you who give me spirit, you who with your attention, you who with your shame, speak that you love me"_

"Have you forgotten the beautiful expression that that night not only my bones were hiding from the skin of your eyes but all my movements were hiding among the stories that began to open the dark cloths of the night that's. I couldn't answer, I was nervous, I still remembered as much as possible, I stood up from my seat, I said to go home first. With a feeling that floats, then I answer you that I love you too"_

"Until the end, I decided to return to Makassar. Bringing our hope to the family, even as I was about to return to your village with my Phinisiki, suddenly obstacles came to me. Everything, I'm sure, you'll still remember Eden including the end of the relationship we didn't want to happen, parting at pier_"

"The incident at the dock, I was wrong ! I was wrong for coming to conclusions too soon until I told you to leave. A few days after the incident, I came back to the dock just to find the woman who at that time claimed to have you smear. I met him, that's when I just found out and realized that I had made a mistake that you didn't deserve to forgive. The woman told me that all her words and confessions were lies. That woman is just obsessed by her ex-boyfriend who looks like you"_

"After I heard the explanation, I looked for you. I asked every porters on the dock, I asked every seller on the side of the road. They gave me your address, they showed me the way to meet but what I felt. I am not strong enough to meet you, I am ashamed, I was wrong !. Until I decided not to see you. But once again Eden, since then, I realized that the decision I had taken turned out to be wrong. Your dress that I gave you the day you wanted to have your engagement with Anggun was the day I came to pick you up"_

"Love, love, our affection, still intact Eden. I am tormented by regrets that do not give me time to tell you, forgive me !. You must be wondering, why until now your clothes are still stored. The reason is that your heart and my heart are still tied to each other. You don't have to answer, you don't have to speak yes, you don't have to convey all the burdens inside you, just be the man I used to know in your village. That way, I will understand that Eden who today wants to be engaged is not the Eden I used to know. Except for the other Eden, the rich man whom many City women wanted. The Eden I used to know was the coastal youth who always accompanied me every day to school, who always praised me every day"_

"Even the compliments are still in my ears, remember when you carried me. I'm sure you won't forget because that's where it all started. There, I began to get along with him, there I began to see the face of a man who was so sincere in giving me help when my feet were tired"_

"Eden, if you want to go see Anggun, go ! but don't forget, here I stand waiting for you."

Resky continued, "Don't forget Eden, here I expect you to come back !."

All the invited guests were made ka'o by the confessions of the two beautiful women. Eden did not look happy to hear Resky, Missing, expressed her umpteenth feelings, even in front of the crowd, something had happened without her guessing.

Just be right. Daeng Guru who seemed to have emotions immediately slapped Eden. What Daeng Guru asked and he said as if not heard by Eden. The Anggun family not only endured endless shame but sadness.

"You don't know thank you ! I made you what you are today. After you became a person, you wanted to betray me and did not want to choose Graceful my son as your future. Where they were when you were in trouble. Only me, Anggun and my family gave you more attention. Tell me now, do you not want to choose Graceful or do you want to cancel this engagement, Eden ?." Daeng Guru firmly on him.

However, once again only an empty eye gaze could speak answering Daeng Guru's question. Eden, sitting between two prostrations, seemed to be experiencing a trance that shook his soul.

If I choose the best woman...!
