Horizons

Episode 74

- Khanza

The four of us sat around a rectangular table in the dining room. I'm next to Kendra, and Talitha is next to Satriya. No one opens their voice. The atmosphere was quiet enough that Kendra's breath sounds started our conversation, "So you guys got betrothed?"

Duh, why is the atmosphere so tense anyway. If the bird is tense Mamas is cool. This lha?

My mouth that used to be chirping tirelessly is now locked. I swear, I can't see my boyfriend. His face was really bad. And when I found out what made him suddenly act so cold like this, I couldn't do anything about it. Yes, I know sooner or later Kendra will know the truth, but I didn't expect it to be this fast.

"We are indeed betrothed, but there will be no marriage" not me, but the voice of a middle-ranking man who sat opposite my boyfriend who answered.

I grinned softly, "Let's say it in front of bokap lo. Dare not?"

Satriya slightly flinched from her sitting position. His lips seemed to want to move but no sound came out. Having a large family with a military background makes the man grow in discipline and obedience. It was not that he had never opposed the wishes of the father, it was just that it was not that easy to defeat the harsh disposition of his parents. And I understand that very well.

"You guys are being betrothed but you can still date Talitha?" My girlfriend interrupted.

"Gue and Khanza never had feelings for each other. Is it wrong that I'm dating Talitha?" the commander defended himself.

Kendra turned to ask the girl who had just sat quietly in front of me, "Lo also did not know that Satriya had been betrothed?"

Talitha shook her head in a doldrums. His eyes are so sweet. Like crying but being held back.

The man who was her lover status moved closer, his hand stroked slowly on Talitha's back as if he wanted to give a little comfort. "Beb, I'm clear. I don't mean to hide from you. But I promise you, that matchmaking will never happen."

Last night, both Kendra and Satriya went missing somewhere. No one knows where the two men went. Even Mas Tristan and other TNI members always sniff their shoulders when asked where their two officers are. Just this morning they showed me their noses. With a bent face and a cold attitude Kendra met me. And here we are now, discussing the continuity of our respective relationships.

Satriya chimed in, "Gue will talk to my parents ka-"

"We've talked a thousand times, Sat" said Satriya I cut, "But what? Everything's mentality. Speech will not be able to mengelesein this. You know for yourself how stubborn bokap lo. We need action. Real action!"

"What else do you want, Sa? Fighting the old man? Rebellious as an ABG boy? Does eloping keep pregnant with other girls?"

"It may be the back" I replied casually.

"Why aren't you pregnant? If you have a child from another guy, our matchmaking automatically fails. Done right?"

I'm usually digituin. There is nothing wrong with the Commander's proposal. But Mas Girlfriend does not accept, "So let's talk! I do not care what superiors my subordinates, you once again talk to my girl, abis lo mouth" Wuidiih. The slope of the silat which this, the aura outcropping can not be dammed. So it's getting sexier for my priest candidate.

"Ayang ah ah. furious mulu from earlier. But in hindsight Satriya's speech was also yes. Try if I tekdung, will no longer be teamed-jodohin the same men afraid of cockroaches" Intention to melt the atmosphere but even dapet sharp plotting from Mamas, "Yes.iya not so. I'm just here. Sit down" I said before closing my mouth.

"Have a son that my man is afraid of cockroaches" Hm.. Ma'am Posesip ngebelain.

"Loh really, right? There's a cockroach flying a fire truck phone. Don't you know?" Not being a henchman, something's nyolot.

Talitha turned to face the man next to her, "Emang really beb?"

All that was asked was a head bobble with a flat expression. Don't wanna nag me.
