Dhatu chose a seat beside the window and tried to hold back the pounding of his heart that began to rebel and could not calm down when they were close together. He threw a stare out so that the man could not read his heart.
"Yes, Honey. Just a week ... I will also miss you .. yes .. I love you."
Dhatu is biting hard on his lower lip. Wanting to pretend to sleep so as not to listen to the conversation of the man beside her, but as if impossible because they had just sat in the passenger seat. His originally flowery heart, had to be shattered in an instant. No matter how fast he ran from reality, in the end he could not leave. He knows a place that has no meaning. There was nothing he could do but endure the pain that enveloped the heart.
The vibration of the mobile phone in the handbag that is in the lap resuscitates Dhatu if he has not deactivated the flat object. He paused his intention when he saw Krisna's name plastered on his phone screen.
"Yes, Mas .. I have a family business," Dhatu smiled knowing that Krishna could not see it, "sorry that he did not have time ...."
Dhatu had not finished his sentence, Dirga had seized his phone and immediately decided on the call that was taking place. "The plane wants to take off. Matiin your hape." Dirga handed back Dhatu's phone that had been deactivated by him, while Dhatu could only grumble.
Dirga moves Dhatu's phone in the air because the woman did not respond. Dhatu, whose daydreams had collapsed in an instant, quickly took the phone from Dirga's hand and put it back in his handbag, he again set his eyes out the window. It was not understood with Dirga's attitude and also his insensitivity that easily incised a wound on Dhatu's heart.
"Are you guys dating?"
Dirga's questions bring Dhatu back to the real world. He turned to the man who was reading a novel that Dhatu did not know when it was in Dirga's hands.
"Which called you earlier," said Dirga closing the novel, "Is he your girlfriend?" he turned towards Dhatu and looked at the woman questioningly.
Dhatu chuckling. If he had a lover, he would not have accepted an arranged marriage with a stranger he had never met before. If he is in the position of Dirga who has a lover, then he will make both parents see how great love they have. In the end, love will win, right? He will not give up in the name of love.
"Why laugh?"
Dhatu turned towards Dirga and gazed into the man's bead of eyes, both eyes locked. "I love you."
Dhatu's words made Dirga's heart stop in a matter of seconds, then thumped. He looked at the woman before him with a look of disbelief. He was even at a loss for the words he had strung together while waiting for Dhatu's answer. About how they ended the relationship and returned to their loved ones.
"The word I love you is easy to say when you don't know what it means" Dhatu said, smiling softly, "if I had a girlfriend and I loved her, then I wouldn't be stuck here with you. Because, for me, loving it must be accompanied by responsibility. I will fight for the love I have, even if the whole world is against me. I'll let everyone know, if the love we have is real, that no one can oppose our relationship."
Dirga. A woman's words are like a knife stuck right into her heart. If the love he had for Kana was real. Shouldn't he try harder? Then why he resigned and did not make his parents see the power of their love. Now his heart began to doubt and wonder, what is love?
