...Not a Loser's...
...**********...
Tired, tired of deciding who to choose. Everyone present at her engagement ceremony, watching the event was off due to the fuss over Eden's behavior, the attitude she should have decided to make her choice to Graceful. Instead of weighing to choose who fits and who doesn't.
This time, he spoke in front of everyone. His face was filled with rivets, in his heart there was no love the most beautiful since he lived suffering in Makassar.
He began to stand up, then with all his spirit, trying to stabilize the look on his face.
"Listen to all of you, ever since I experienced the failure of love and erratic life in this Daeng city, suffering excessively, being conditioned like that, I have forgotten who the woman I love is. However, every time I try to throw away the feelings that always come bothering me, I always can't"_
"I was defeated by a promise I once held. Promise, for some, is just a word that may mean nothing but to me, it is more than my life. More than anything, more than my belief today, I still keep it among the flying, unbound kites of the heart. Doesn't depend but feels touch every flesh on my body"_
"Are you all present here when you promise yourself, it's easy to forget ?. Reply ?! for me to also answer who I should choose from these three women. Graceful, Resky, or Missing. They, to me, are charismatic and hard-spirited women, always an inspiration in my heart in understanding true love."
Eden's question silenced the commotion of the guests. Daeng Guru looked increasingly angry, so great was his emotion that the plate of food behind him was taken and then thrown into Eden. The atmosphere was getting hotter, Eden just said "thank you Daeng for giving me knowledge so that I can until now."
"You're so brave, you're shameless. With great difficulty I gave you everything. What is lacking, your first capital when you make Phinisi ship, I am the capital. Once you are established, rich, and have everything, you easily say that. If I had known from the beginning that you didn't seriously want to get engaged to Anggun, from the beginning I would have married him to the Sophist youth who had come to propose to him. Just because I remember you and Anggun has known you for a long time, he has considered you as his partner so I rejected the proposal"_
"Why didn't you say it from the beginning. Though you know that Anggun has been proposed by other men. If from the beginning you say it, of course I will not choose you. You let me down Eden, you really pissed me off. Then what's the point of a party being made in my house if all the invited guests have known that you want to cancel this engagement. You village boy, don't know how to return the favor, open your eyes and look me in the face, who would you see if not an old man had helped you."
Not better, but far from expectations. The guests who had been silent now re-cheered after seeing Mr. Daeng Guru so angry at Eden.
"What do I want to say when my speech is cut off like that, Daeng ?. Though there are still things I want to talk about, Mr. Daeng has cut off my conversation. I really appreciate Mr. Daeng, I hope so much for Anggun that she will be my wife in the future. Although maybe I will answer Anggun is what I choose but my soul mate is not the one who determines Daeng. Today's engagement will be many tears that fall because between hearts, Daeng knows for himself, there is a wounded heart."
"O o oh, so you think of the hearts of the two women rather than think of my feelings, the feelings of Grace that are worse than them. You are not consistent, seen from the time you buy the engagement ring, you try it on many ring fingers of mall employees at that time. I'm just this old man, never saw a young man buy an engagement ring and try it on a lot of fingers"_
"Yes Daeng. Daeng said right, only losers like me can't choose between them who's still in my heart. Originally, I wanted to tell everyone present here, Daeng and I invited the guests for a similar purpose but this time, it was, I want to tell Daeng that I choose who chooses me, Daeng"_
"As for Daeng, it's up to all the guests to judge me as to what. For now I want to go home, I won't choose anyone. Whether Graceful, Resky, or Missing. For me, they are women of the same beauty, the same kindness, Miss is a great girl carrying Phinisi, Resky is so while Anggun is the daughter of Phinisi master. Rather than me here, it says loser I better go home. Daeng, say my words to Anggun do not cry because I am not a young man who deserves to be mourned"_
"And for all the guests who took the time to be here, I'm sorry ! this is beyond expectations. I never thought that the engagement party we were having would be like this"_
"Resky, miss, they're not wrong !. They just tell me the truth. However, it seems like many disagreed and immediately came to the conclusion that I would accept one of them. Though not necessarily, now the age of more and more Edan, even though there are many Edan. But for their feelings for me is the same feeling Gracefully given me"_
"Once again I'm not a loser. The loser was the man who wanted the love of these three women but I wanted to determine my choice to whom my heart would be anchored. Like the Phinisi-phinisi I just made, anchored in a quiet state in the harbor."
Daeng did not believe what you said Eden. What trust do I want to give you again so you don't say that. Though you, in my house I have considered as my own son. You are free to go in and out of my house to meet Anggun but it turns out to be in vain. Just the scolding that my family now gets. Think again if you do not want to continue this match. I won't feel like losing you if you cancel this engagement but you will keep in mind the kindness I once gave you. Before Grace draws her heart from within you, you should realize that what you say before your guests is a mistake."
Eden was bowed by what she had just heard. Perhaps this time, Daeng Guru's words had pierced his heart. Even so, he still remains worried.
"Daeng, once again forgive me !. For now I want to go home first. Let this guilt, I reconsider at home.
He walked to go home. The two women who were so expecting him also came out with him until all the guests shouted at the three of them.
"U u u..., they're in cahoots, Daeng !."
Free heating Daeng Guru. Daeng Guru with emotion, sadly, he lowered his face in embarrassment. He went into the house to his daughter's room.
"Eden, you're a love loser !."
