Halal Me With Your Parent's Ridho

100. An undertaking

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

POVS. SETYO

I was able to start a new life, yes after the rejection I tried to make peace with the circumstances. I try to clarify it, as long as he can be happy with anyone I will be happy. And I began to reorganize my life, drowning myself in work is something that makes me quickly forget that. My mother arranged an engagement for me that I inevitably had to agree to because I couldn't bring her back. Silly actually, my family didn't want it but I don't know why now they want me to be with him.

But the rice has become porridge, it is too late he deserves to be happy even though it is not with me. Next week my training will be over soon and right on my return by then my engagement to the title. I should have been happy because I got to the point where I tied a girl with a bond to marriage. But deep down in my heart, I don't feel it.

I went home to be greeted with all my family members, and the woman who for some days will be my fiancee. Although a few months ago I let her down but in fact she now wants to get engaged to me again. A smile always lingered on her sweet face, even occasionally she looked at me with embarrassment, which made me feel even more strange.

" Finished faster than expected ? " Ask when we got a chance to talk together.

" Yes, everything is made of lightning. " I answered while looking at him.

" After this, what can you do ? "

" Placement somewhere, can be closer or further can be in the country or abroad. " I'm honest.

" About us ? "

" It's all set with our parents, I'll accept all their decisions. "

I saw his face sparkle as I said so, another with my little heart that did not accept but what I could do. Everyone at home was really busy preparing for the event, I accidentally heard something from people who were chatting in the kitchen.

" Lah Iyo Mbak Salamah mantu Ra gibberish - bullshit - eruh di tehanne jare ike bojone Syam. "

" Laiyo, ora eruh moro - moro Sham nduwe bojo. "

" But sinter Syam golek bojo, bojone ayu kalem fit karo Syam. "

That's how we thought it was from my brothers who were making some cookies in the kitchen. Syam is my cousin's brother despite his age under me, but according to tradition I have to call him 'Mas Sham'. He is a capable figure in everything in terms of physical he is quite handsome. About the job is certainly the dream of every woman a TNI soldier and I heard she also completed her Doctor's education. About wealth he was fairly successful with the many efforts he had. It was only fitting that he get a special girl considering all his achievements.

But not many know if my relationship with her doesn't look as familiar as the outside. Although when we meet we will greet each other but there is the same thing - the same we hide. We were once involved in a problem, and it made our relationship tenuous. The woman he loved so much preferred me compared to Mas Syam who at that time became his lover. Since then, our relationship has only looked good on the outside.

" Le, have you made a list of names you're going to invite ? "

" Not Buk, I follow ibuk only there is nothing that can be invited this is also still Buk fiancee. " I replied when my mother told me to make a list of names - the names of anyone I wanted to invite.

" This is the engagement of mu lo Le, ojo koyok Syam eruh - eruh directly ngowo bojone mulih ujug - ujug. "

" Wes married Tenan to Buk, Mas Sham ? "

" Uwes Le's. "

I don't know why I was a little curious about who Mas Syam was married to, suddenly my curiosity just appeared. I usually don't want to know much about it.

Because of my high curiosity, asked everyone about who the figure who became Mas Syam's wife but they did not want to answer and their answers were the same.

" Something fitting until the fiancee will meet, wong as hard as a boy promise jare arepe teko. "

And it makes me even more curious, one person I haven't asked Mrs Denti for sure she knows. And I'm sure he'll answer my question, too, unlike the others, which just makes me even more curious.

" Mom wants something. " I was confronted with a question when she entered the house after picking up Jasmine.

" What is it, Spirit really is it ? "

" Who is Mas Syam's wife ? " Let's be curious.

" Tomorrow you'll know for yourself. " I got the same answer again, and it made me even more curious.

Not satisfied I was really not satisfied with Denti's answer, why he seemed to be hiding something from me. I open social media goods times from there I get something that makes me curious. I saw his posts on some of Mas Syam's young social accounts but there was nothing I was looking for he didn't post anything about his wife at all. Wait a minute I'm like no stranger to the photo of the prayer beads she posted a few days ago with the caption 'When you're away, half my soul is left with you ' Since when did he become such a figure my inner self while laughing as coolly.

It's why it's no stranger to me, I try to remember it again and then I click the photo and I zoom. And there's a familiar letter to me "NKB "of course I know the initials. It was even the prayer beads I gave her, and I carved those initials there. I'm still trying to think clearly and there's no way they're .........

Czechs .........

" Set, let's go down Lenni's family has come. " Mr Denti called me.

" Sir, come in first there's something important I want to ask. " My words were serious without taking my eyes off the lighted lap top screen.

" Yes later, but now we go down first. It's not good that they have to wait long. "

I did not answer Ms. Denti's words, but I looked at her with a look of seriousness, She knew what my gaze meant to her, so she entered my room approaching me.

" What else do you want to ask ? "

" Who is Mas Syam's wife, just answer honestly. "

" I think with this view you already know the answer. "

I screeched while throwing a glance, I inhaled deeply - in the air so that it filled the entire lung cavity, - my lungs. Honestly, my breath feels tight, if my guess is true.

" Dance ? "

Who answered a nod by Mbak Denti, I immediately rubbed my face rough. It felt like my blood was boiling for sure now my face was already flushed red due to the emotions I felt. Madam Denti got closer to me, then patted my shoulder slowly.

" Not to be regretted, this is indeed the destiny that you must live to be wise and mature in dealing with this. Remember he has rejected you means he does not love you, let him be happy with his choice. Moreover, Mas Syam is our brother. "

I can't answer anything, but I can still nod in response to Denti. I told Drunk Denti ahead first I later because there was a message from the company obviously me when it was just my reason. I took my phone and I called someone, and then I just met Lenni's family.

" I'm sorry it seems like this engagement has to be pushed back first there are things I have to do, just got a call from the company tonight I also have to leave. " That's what I said, which made everyone fall silent.

I saw that they all looked disappointed, especially Lenni who was always smiling and occasionally stealing glances at me. Now his eyes seem very disappointed with me, but I don't care. At exactly 21:00 I left the house, dragging a suitcase and backpack that I carried on my back.

" Are you gone in a long time Le ? " Ask my mother as I passed by the living room full of all my family members.

" Not necessarily Mom, it could be a while. " I answered firmly.

After saying goodbye to all my family members I drove my car to the city of Malang, which I know is where he is now. It didn't take me long to be in front of a two-story minimalist house, according to the information I got here where they lived.

It's been two days that I've been following them wherever they go, but all that time they've been together, and a little bit of it adds to the pain in my heart. Yes, although I cannot deny that he looks so happy, and Mas Syam treats him very well. But I should have been there, not Mas Syam or anyone else.

That morning, they left early in the morning, from the clothes they were wearing it seemed like they were going to attend a party. My car followed the car they were riding, sure enough my guess they stopped at a parking lot that was prepared for guests to visit. I should be able to sneak in, maybe they'll be separated and that's my chance.

When the entourage - the accompaniment of the manten came I slipped into the crowd among them, no one recognized me until I entered the tent of celebration. My eyes continued to go through every inch of the place to find it, after almost despair I finally found it yes he was sitting alone, wait where Mas Sham. It turned out that the husband was sitting a good distance away from him with his cousin brother who always attached to him.

I watched him from afar, when he stood up I followed him maybe this is my chance. He kept walking towards the back of the house, I'm getting really happy this is going to be a fortune to me. When she came into the bathroom I waited for her behind the invisible wall. A few moments of sound system that is quite blaring and the sound of a dangdut biduan make everyone there crowded come to the front. The universe is really supporting me.

Let me be selfish, let me be immoral, let me be unethical. Only one goal, realizing our dream that was delayed. Is it wrong if I want to be like that ? Maybe this is the only last attempt I can make.
