...Being Lied...

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

A successful village boy in the city of Makassar is a pride in itself but not on matters of the heart.

"Do I not deserve to love a woman of my own choice ?. Every struggle I make to get my love is always the suffering I get. The marriage that her family had arranged was longing but because of my stupidity, it was void by leaving this pain for me."

The emotion that had been perched in his chest room, he overflowed in his house. The entire house in the living room collapsed without a remnant.

Gondrong who was there tried to approach Eden in the hope that what he said received and could accept this reality.

"Sir, I apologize in advance to you ! But if you can, you better forget Miss. I'm concerned about what you're experiencing. But, by slamming these items, you will not feel calm or even miss going back to you. The hurt feelings, in fact, still metamorphose on the principle of his development uniquely."

"Shut up !" I don't want to hear anything from anyone else. I just want to, miss not breaking this relationship." With those uncertain eyes, his hand reached for a 10Rx10R photo that was displayed on the top wall of the television. "This photo must be destroyed, I don't want to see it."

"What do you want ?" Ask Gondrong. "Don't Sir ! Pity that photo if you want to throw it again."

"What does he care about me ?. I've been trying to take care of the relationship between us, but she chose to believe what she saw. This photo is a memory on his boat, back then, he was leaning against my chest when the sun was about to sink. He said he would take it, I told him too. Now, there's no point in this picture being in my house, I'll always get sicker looking at this." The answer to the gondrong for a moment had taken the photo on display. Even the television that was under the photo, also became part of the story that was destroyed.

"Sir, it's best that this matter be addressed calmly. If you are angry, people around your house, tonight will be more wondering and they will consider you as a man who has no self-esteem. The Father is not angry, and if you want, tonight, I will take you to a place. In that place, tonight, you can forget about this matter in just an instant."

Without thinking long, Eden was silent for a moment but his breath went up and down. He then threw the photo he still held just like that with one shout so loud.

"S I a a a l !."

He then sat down to calm his mind, holding his head, scratching his head even though it was not itchy. Slightly raising his face, Eden asked the gondrong "what is that place ? And where is ?."

Actually gondrong did not intend to bring Eden to the place he intended but because seeing the noise he made did not think it, gondrong offered him.

"Quick ! Answer. What place is that ?. No need to answer if you don't want to tell me. let's go to that place !." His orders while taking his car keys.

In that unpretentious and displeased heart, Gondrong did not have much respect for his actions. Gondrong seemed to think seriously that what he directed at Eden, do not reap his anger again. Because the place in question is none other than the place of the night woman.

Both of them are now in the car. The clock has shown at 03:02, which means it will soon enter the prayer time.

From the beginning, his car came out of his house. There was only language and unnaturally inclusive sentences Eden took out of her mouth. He grumpily does not stop, his tongue is not tired, at the end Eden will say "Long, do not break our relationship."

"Pity of Eden !" The voice of the heart beat with a long hearing from every bittersweet sentence of Eden.

"Where is this ! If I take Eden to that place, maybe I won't be able to account for my actions." He murmured himself while looking for the best alternative to calm the turmoil in him Eden.

Gondrong then loosened his intention for the future of Eden. He pretended to complain of stomach pain to divert the emotions still overflowing in him Eden.

"You, what the hell ? You said we wanted to go somewhere you said. If your stomach ache suddenly, what is the solution ?. Don't joke."

"Seriously, Sir. My stomach hurt suddenly. Maybe the influence has never eaten this. I think it's nausea but I think it's also bloating, this is sir."

"Gondrong, gondrong. Why not from home, your stomach feels pain. This must be done this way just felt. Don't-don't, you're just pretending to be sick."

"No, Sir !" Seriously, Sir. "My stomach is suddenly hurting. Ouch... Sir, it hurts so much my stomach. Time to pretend."

"Hii.., you are just there. He, we stopped at the pharmacy first."

"No need to go to the pharmacy, sir. I just want to go home to my house. For two days, I've never been home. My wife and son are waiting for me from yesterday. Actually from yesterday, I'd like to go home but there's no chance of getting permission to go home."

"Say you want to go home just did not dare permission so you said you want to go to that place, right ?. I'll take you home but tell me, where you mean, where's the address ?."

"It's time." Gondrong in his heart. "Sir, may I be honest ! Actually, I lied to you about going to that place. I just don't want to see you dissolve in sadness by slamming things in your own house. It is indeed ! Not my stuff, but by slamming everything that belongs to the Father, will not be able to fix the problems that have occurred. As people have just followed you, quite concerned with what you are experiencing. I, want him to be more confident that there are still too many women out there that you can get. Missing is one of those beautiful women who wasn't meant to live with you."_

"I'm sorry, sir ! Because I lied to my father. That's my intention, I don't want to see you getting late with this. Indeed that love, sir, gives strength not weakens. Love gives a smile not an emotion, although problematic, love will never disappear from his heart Father. For example, out there, there are many people who are left either married or still in a state of courtship. As they part, they rise again only to enjoy life tomorrow. Relax and don't care too much about love decisions_. Father, it should be so, especially the Father is an established person. It's easy for you to get a woman let alone get love from a woman who loves without seeing who you are."

Very influential. The strand of advice that he put into his heart Eden, able to divert situations that did not side with him. Regret began to appear on his face, Eden realized that what was said by gondrong is a determination in the relationship.

"I must rise, endure to rule tomorrow's life. Gondrong, thank you very much ! you opened it and showed me the way. You're right, out there, there's still a lot of women waiting for me, I don't have to be hurt by the decision to miss."

"Well, so dong, sir !" I'm grateful to hear that, sir. Alhamdulillah ! You can control that emotion."

"So to be honest, that stomach ache of yours, it was also a lie anyway ?."

"Hehe.., yes, sir."

"Yes, it's !" I take you home yes but because we want to enter the prayer time, we stop first at the nearest mosque. After that, I'll drive you home."

Whatever Eden's efforts, only he himself can understand the state of his heart. Maybe gondrong managed to beat the emotions in him but not in his mind.

Wait for the sequel
