Hold on or let go!

Eps 176s

Wibi and I got off the bike into my stepfather's yard. His car is no longer in the yard, it means he has left for the village office.

"Assalamualaikum, mother...mom..!", cried Wibi calling mother.

I ran a little to keep up with this little guy.

"Glambeach!"

Asih came out to welcome his eldest son and youngest child.

"Mother, Wibi walks the same way Mba Bia!", said Wibi cheerfully.

"Oh yeah, where's the walk? Why not talk to mom?", asked Asih while holding the youngest.

Wibi.

"Ngga, Wibi wants the same mba Bia. Beautiful!", said Wibi praising me.

"Well, I've got a rival. You are not beautiful anymore?", asked Asih to Wibi.

"Beautiful, but more beautiful!"

"Geez, learn from where the hell is the talk of already rich big boy?", I asked squash pinching Wibi's cheek.

"Wibi wis gede mba. I'm not wetting Mimi's milk with a pacifier. Isn't it Mom?"

''Hwum.iya, I've babbled her later again. Now you wash your hands, continue to eat breakfast!", Asih said to his two children.

"Where is Mom?"

"Yo, school is Bi."

"Owlah Iyo, lali I'm Mom!", I said laughing softly. I followed my mother to the dining room. I forgot to wash my hands first. There are more viruses he said!

Wibi was still in my mother's arms, and she washed Wibi's hands.

"Mom, Wibi was a chicken porridge maem in front of the market. Wibi doesn't want maem ah."

"Wibi really ate mba?" asked the mother. I also agree.

"Udah ma'am, really."

"Malah in payin same eye Sri, Mom!", said Wibi again.

"Mother Sri Febri?", asked my mother. I nodded again.

Asih looked to be breathing out. He remembered very well how Bu Sri insulted her cheating self. Until Bia who became a victim because his views were wrong. Do not want to blame Bu Sri too much, any parent wants the best for his child. It's just that Bia's case, it's really not appropriate. Asih is not entirely bad like the rumors circulating. The proof, her husband believed to be the head of the village again. If indeed he was troubled, there was no way his citizens would return to give him trust for this village.

"Yes, there's breakfast first."

I also obeyed my mother's orders. Wibi, he's playing in the backyard.

After breakfast, my mother told me to take a shower. Fortunately, the size of my clothes and my mother did not differ much, so I could borrow my mother's clothes.

"Sir, ta' kandani sedelo!"

(Nduk, I'll tell you for a second)

"Yes Mom!", I sat in front of him and combed my hair. But my mother grabbed the comb, then stood behind me. Combing my long hair that is not too straight because it has long smoothing faded.

"Your hair doesn't want to be straight anymore?" asked the mother.

"No ma'am, what do you do. No one else saw it. Huff....Bia aja Alby can still betrayin Bia."

Asih stopped his combing activity. But it was only a few seconds. He went back on.

"Actually..you still love is not the same Alby nduk?", asked the mother. Without a doubt, I nodded. Right, I do love Alby. Maybe even until this moment the feeling still exists. But my disappointment is just as great.

"Yes Ma'am, Bia's in love with Alby. But it's better we have to be sandy, right? Let's not hurt each other anymore."

I held my shoulder from behind.

"If that's the best thing, pray. Because the decisions you make are not easy decisions."

"Yes, Mom."

"Mother listen, Alby's wife is sick. Eum...no praying bad-bad nduk, if he really dies do you want to go back to Alby?"

I'm silent. Why do you ask like that?

"Do not know, Mom, about the age of God. And that future is still a secret."

"If you are given the chance to unite again someday, how?", read the mother again.

"Kok nanya's mom that's it anyway? I don't want Bia to separate from Alby?", I asked while pursing my lips.

Mom chuckles softly.

"And mom said, whatever your decision is, I'll support it. I just asked nduk! Yes ... maybe now you have started to move on and yes. It seems Febri is also ready to wait for you."

"Astaghfirullah Ma'am. Bia Gini-gini is Alby's wife."

"Yes, I know that. Mother's children are good children and wives."

"It's not enough, ma'am, the proof is...."

'' Don't go on, I know what you want to say." After that we both laughed.

"By, Mak wants to hold a four-monthly event. According to Mak's count, the fall of the seventeenth. You have time!?'', asked Mak as they all ate breakfast. Mak is feeding Hartama.

The seventeenth?

Alby put down the spoon. Then I looked at Mak Titin.

"Does Alby have to be on the show?"

Silvy's starting to fret. Alby would have objected.

"Yes, it's good. But if you're busy, don't go along."

"Alby's going to Bia's village."

Silence, not even the clink of a spoon is there.

Alby took a deep breath.

Hartama stopped chewing, Titin stopped feeding, and silvy himself fell silent.

"Trial?", Mak Titin parroted.

"Yes, that day is coming soon!", Alby stood up from his stool and walked out of the room.

Silvy froze in place. It's all gonna happen soon. In the past, times like this were all Silvy wanted. But now? He felt his chest tight.

Hartama doesn't comment on anything. His guilt can no longer change anything.

Long ago, Hartama once said. He's not going to separate Alby and Bia. But Bia's gonna leave Alby alone. And ..yeah, this is what's happening now. The three people were busy with their own thoughts.

Regretting is no use.

"Sister!", call Anika to Seto who is currently in charge of picking her up.

''What deck?"

"Kak Seto knew Bina a long time ago?"

Seto furrowed his brows. Staring at the young girl beside him. It is fortunate that Dimas sampe is in real company with this cute girl.

"Yes, you know. Not knowing very well. If long time no yes since Dimas same Bina aja anyway. Why deck?"

Anika shook her head, "Don't want to know."

"Why don't you ask yourself to your dimas?"

"Gga ah, I think I'm jealous again."

Seto reviewed the smile.

"Jealous is natural deck, his name is former meet again. But, deck Ika mah believe me. Your Dimas brother has no feelings for Bina. Believe me!", said Seto trying to convince the girl.

'Koe owed me a big amble Dim! Wes belani your crew Nang ngarep'e cah iki', inner Seto.

(You owe me the same. Belain you in front of this child)

Anika pursed her lips, just like a child.

"Who did you miss, brother Bina what brother Dim?", asked Anika again while changing her seat to face Seto who was behind the wheel.

"Ask Dimas aja yes, Sis Seto did not want to follow!", said Seto. Anika just complained disappointed.

I who joined no work chose to sit in front of the cashier stall. Not too many today. This is no longer a meal.

I open the photo gallery on my phone. There's a few photos of me and Alby left.

First photos of us dating. Because the photo is in the lowest position. I didn't erase everything.

My Alby is handsome! Eh? My alby? Not anymore!

Suddenly there was a feeling of longing in my chest. Yes, I miss him very much. Suddenly my tears melted. I was in a hurry to get rid of it, I was afraid that someone would see it.

But the more I removed, the more my tears flowed. I remember, two days before the trial began.

Is Alby coming? Will he come back to defend me again? Or...Dreams he's yelling me really happened?

Or... Maybe he won't come! And that will ease our separation!

With hesitation, I unblock Alby. When I unblock it, a series of messages from Alby came in.

I haven't read the messages yet, Alby called me.

Lift it? Nah! Lift it? Nah!

I closed my eyes. Put my phone on the cashier's desk again. Not stopping, I was shedding more tears.

Lek Dar approached me in a hurry. He hugged me so tightly.

"What's wrong?", he rubbed my head that was immersed in his arms. Slowly shaking while sobbing.

Lek Dar picked up my phone that rang giving rise to Alby's name. He understood, his nephew was still upset.

"You still can't catch Alby, Bia!", said Lek Dar still rubbing my head.

"Bia miss Alby lek, miss hiks...!"

Lek Dar took his arms off me. Then cupped my cheek.

"Speak! At least with you being able to hear his voice, your sense of kangen is reduced."

But I shook my head.

"Bia was afraid of Lek's wavering!", I said softly still sobbing.

"You're the one who unblocked her, right? You know the risk will be like this!", Lek Dar looked at me.

"Thank you, tell me everything you feel. Tell him you miss him, tell him that goodbye is best for both of you so that no one else gets hurt. Remove all that is your burden Nduk. Reveal all. After that, the decision is in your hands! Are you going to go back to him, or will you release him for the good of all!"

I'm holding Lek Dar again.

My phone rings again, but this time it's not from Alby but Febri!

*******

Who'd you like Bia to call, Alby or Febri?

About...How good???

The painful longing can still see it, but can no longer have much less touch it. Uuuh....🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
