I LEFT LOVE

CH 12

"Via, looks like this time mama can't help you. You have helped me to leave here, with your Papa's character like that, it is impossible for you and Rian to be together," said Bu Rini who sat beside Via.

"Rian may not love Via too much, Ma. If Rian does love Via, Rian should not have delivered Via back home" said Via with teary eyes.

"Maybe you're not a match, Via. Expand your relationship, if it has to end. Accept the soul mate that Allah sent for you believe Via, the soul mate who Allah sent for you must be the best. Maybe you love Rian now. But what you think is good is not necessarily good according to Allah, But what is good according to Allah, must be the best for you,"

"Maybe right now, you don't love Andre, but if Andre is your soul mate, you refuse as hard as you can. You will definitely stay together. Accept everything with iklas Via." advice Bu Rini.

"When is the time, Ma?" ask Via pasrah.

"Two weeks away, the legislation has also started to spread today," replied Ms. Rini.

"Ma, is mom happily married to dad even without love?" ask Via.

"At first, Mama also felt the same way as you feel right now, but as time went on, Mama tried to open her heart to your Papa, especially with Papa's personality is hard like that, it is not easy for Mama, but Alhamdulillah in fact we have been together 25 years and Mama is happy to be your Papa's companion, even though we often disagree." said Ms. Rini.

Via looked at his mother and tried to smile.

"Mama, what a great woman. Strong against Papa who is stubborn and always wants to win alone," said Via.

"Papa's heart is hard like that, but actually his heart is very loving. Papa just wants what's best for us, the people he loves. Papa is very stubborn when it comes to the happiness of your children. As you remember, from you little, Papa always chooses nothing to be the best," said Bu Rini again.

Via hugging her mother and crying again, maybe now is the time to let go of the loved one. Via had never been in love before, once in love now Via must be willing to release the love of peace. Because Rian who is persistent with his stance to establish a relationship must be with blessing. Rian does not want to marry Via without the blessing of Via's parents.

Two weeks later

Everyone is busy preparing for the wedding. While Via was still pensive looking at his phone, waiting for a reply from Rian.

Yes, Via sent a message to Rian and told him that soon he would marry Andre.

"(Today's the last chance, for you Rian. If you love me, fail this marriage. You can tell Papa and Mama that I am pregnant with your child, so my Papa will cancel this marriage, and will marry us)," Via chat for Rian.

"(Rian, please reply to my message. I really hope today you come and foil this marriage, Yan. I beg Yan, save me. I don't want to marry Andre.)" Chat Via for Rian.

But it turns out that until the event will start, Rian did not reply to the message sent by Via.

"Via, the ijab qobul event is about to start, you should get out immediately" said Bu Rini.

"Ma, does Via really have to marry Andre? Via doesn't love Andre, Ma. Via only loves Rian," cried Via broke.

"That's it Via, don't cry! your make up will wear off! Do not show your sadness in front of the guests who come Via," said Bu Rini to divert the conversation.

"Ma," whined Via

"Via, if you really feel hard going through all this, just go far. Don't ever come back to this house Via, Mama can't bear to see you grieving like this. But Mama also can not do anything for you," said Bu Rini sobbed.

"Ma, sorry Via. Maafin Via, for making Mama sad. Please forgive Via." said Via wiping tears Bu Rini.

Via wiped his tears, and restyled his makeup back, before finally Via came out to do the qobul ijab.

But before Via came out, once again Via saw his phone which turned out there was no reply to a message from Rian.

Now Via sat beside Andre, and in front of the ruler, Andre said a sacred sentence that made the two become husband and wife.

"How about, witnesses?" ask penghulu.

"Well," since the phrase "Well" was spoken since then also the status of Via has changed, no longer single. She is a wife of Andre. A man who is not loved.

Via's tears, as if they could not stop flowing. Throughout the event, Via did not stop shedding tears.

Andre realized all that, but Andre was selfish enough to keep marrying Via despite being aware. Via doesn't love himself.

"Sister, you're patient brother! Tia will always pray, hopefully you can get the happiness of your brother, even though not with Rian's brother," said Tia hugging her brother. And now they both embrace. Tia knew how much her brother loved Rian.

From a distance, Rian shed tears seeing Via alongside other men, Rian recalled the times when Via tried to approach him on his first day of college, Rian also recalled how finally Via expressed his feelings for Rian.

Rian is a young man from the village who hopes that his life will change for the better by studying in the city, since the beginning does not expect to date anyone. But Via's persistence to get Rian's heart, makes Rian finally also fall for Via.

It's not that Rian doesn't love Via, it's just that Rian's difficult life in the village makes him afraid to love women and afraid to start a relationship.

And it turns out true what was his concern all along, their love will definitely get rejection from the Via family, because from the beginning Rian had seen their differences that were too far, like the sky and earth.

"Andre, right now. I'm your wife, but I don't love you" Via said on their wedding night.

"I know you don't love me. But now, like it or not, you are my wife" replied Andre.

"Yes, I know that. But I wish you could give me time. I can't do it right now" said Via shedding tears.

"Via, I will wait for you" replied Andre about to kiss Via's forehead, but Via dodged.
