Grasping Taste

Heartbroken

"Abi, isn't Mariska apologizing? It's only natural that he's angry. She loves you so much, Bi." said Mama Nuri by chasing Abimana to get out to the parking lot.

"Mama said it was natural? For example, Aruna is not the girl that Abi loves nor should she be, Mariska makes trouble at someone else's party." explained Abi, she felt astonished by what her mother thought. Still justifying what the girl did.

"He just loves you, Bi. Mama sure it was not Mariska's intention to mess up someone's party." martial Nuri, she still did not accept Abimana to blame the girl of her choice.

"It's hard to say the same, Mama." Abhimana got into the car and waited for her mother to come in. Learning from many things, Abimana is now more assertive with her mother.

My son and mother purposely went together. Nuri comes to Tita's event because of the invitation of Tita's parents while Abi is indeed friends with Tita.

Nuri did plan to take her home with Mariska, after the party was over. Of course, that was only Nuri's reason for Abimana to be close to the girl who was the daughter of one of the officials in this city.

"Cassian Mariska, Bi. Because of Jeng Rosa, Mariska was cornered by many people." continued Nuri before Abimana turned on the engine of his car. Nuri was unable to suppress her son after what happened, but she still wanted to try to persuade Abimana to accept Mariska.

"So I don't care, Ma." Abimana then drove her car to drive Mama Nuri back home.

Silence, in the car no one had said a word. Although his son was indeed impressed calm, but Nuri understood how stubborn Abimana was.

Abimana was silent with a million anxieties. He knew who the man who took Aruna with the batik couple. Ah, again his feelings are getting worse. The bad thoughts made him unable to focus anymore. He should meet Aruna immediately and clarify everything.

They spend a little time relaxing and eating afternoons (because Sabda and Aruna have not had lunch yet). After the tension that occurred, Sabda did want to make Aruna forget for a moment the events that might make her shock. Moreover, they do not have time for the name dating.

"I think we got the wrong costume, Mas. We are seen by many people because our clothes may be strange" said Aruna who is increasingly uncomfortable. The two were spending time to look at the twilight at a port.

Sabda simply smiled in response to Aruna. The girl in front of him made the man who was very talkative did not want to enjoy anything but the beauty of Aruna.

Such a beautiful twilight and the blowing of the wind that felt strong did not make the Word lulled. Just Aruna. A girl who can take her world.

"Beautiful." muttered the Word while looking at Aruna so deeply.

Aruna who heard the faint murmur of Sabda instantly stopped her ice cream spout. Then stared intently at the Word as if asking about what the man in front of him had just said.

"Mas, what did you say?" Finally Aruna asked when only getting a smile answer from the thin lips of the Word.

"No, the weapon is beautiful." continued Sabda make Aruna just bearded and back to spend the ice cream.

"You happy, Run?" tanya Sabda was still staring fixedly at the girl in front of her.

"Happy. From a long time ago, I actually wanted to date like a teenager in general. But, I'm afraid of dating, afraid of falling in love and I'm afraid of being betrayed" Aruna said. He put down his ice cream bowl and then turned his head towards the sea.

"So you've never been in a relationship?" The question of the Word only Aruna answered with a nod.

"Come on, we're home! The air's getting cold." Word moved from her seat, while Aruna was still staring at her as if she was still at home despite the wind getting dating.

"Night rush. I don't want to, you're sick!" Sabda clasped Aruna's hand, both walking towards the parked car a few meters away from where they were eating. With Aruna, Sabda's courtship style is indeed different, he can not do many things like he used to do with his former lover.

"Sabda megantara, I'm more and more convinced by my choice. Maybe this is what is called a soul mate. God made my heart believe, when I was worried about a relationship not too long ago. Marriage to me is not just love, but choosing the right man." Aruna monologues with her feelings.

The round eyes with plump fur continued to stare at the Word walking next to him, the man slid his big fingers and grasped them so tightly.

When Sabda glanced at him, Aruna replied with a smile and a happy twinkle, until the lips of Sabda showed a faint smile. They decided to go home and leave the port.

This afternoon, like the two, Sabda had stopped his car at a mosque that was not far from their housing complex, it was because Aruna whined fear of the deadline for Salat Magrib.

After Salat Magrib calmly Sabda returned to drive a car to enter the alley where his house was. A really nice trip because it can restore the smile of the angel.

A white Pajero was already parked in front of Aruna's house. And the owner was still standing leaning on the body of the car. Abimana's face looked lethargic, even a tinge of uneasiness he could no longer cover.

"Mas, give me a chance to talk and finish everything with Mas Abi." pinta Aruna when she saw the Word stared intently at Abimana.

Abhimana's presence made the Word unhappy. He did believe in Aruna, but however Abimana was a figure that could not be underestimated by the Word.

"Don't take too long and as necessary" said the Word filled with emphasis. The word is too possessive.

"Yes, Mas. Thank you for believing in me." After saying that, Aruna then got down from the car of Sabda. Even so the Word did not want to move. He was still observing Aruna until the lover invited his rival in and sat on the porch of the house.

Meanwhile on a tiny terrace decorated with orchid plants Abimana and Aruna sat opposite. For both it is difficult to start a conversation. Both of them are starting to look very awkward.

"Run, I want to apologize for what happened at Tita's party."

"We're not getting engaged, Mariska's just bullshit." continued Abimana. His chest was pounding which would continue the next sentence.

"It's okay, Mom. Hopefully in the future is fine." Aruna replied.

"Again, I did not take Mas Abi. And God willing next month I'm getting married, Mom. So, it's just Mariska's prejudice and hopefully it has no effect in the future" Aruna said so smoothly, the burden felt lifted already even though she had difficulty starting to say it. But, the events at Tita's party make her convinced of the decision to tell Abi the truth.

"Run.. You're lying, right? Do you know him for sure, Run?" Actually what Aruna said was not a thing that missed his estimate. 'Married' Abiman could hardly believe it if Aruna would do it that fast with someone she just knew.

"Yes, Mas. I'm sorry!" lirih Aruna's. He was unable to look at Abimana's sad eyes, the usual soft-looking eyes were glazed.

How devastated Abhimana was to hear all that. His soul seemed to leave his body after hearing Aruna's confession. Aruna is the girl he adored and loved for years.
