Tomorrow my brothers return to their respective cities. Simultaneously they say goodbye, of course Sewah cries. He will be lonely again. Especially now that Disa is leaving. What if I get married too. Who will accompany Sambarah. The night before Disa left, she gave me a letter.
“This is from someone who loves you so much. And he will be faithfully waiting for you. Sorry if you have misunderstood our closeness. To give this letter only he did not dare let alone express his feelings for you. That's why he always harbored his love. Hopefully this is the right time for you to unite.” Disa left me alone in the room.
I shuddered to hear Disa's words. All this time there was someone who loved me and was faithfully waiting for me. Who her? Why I never realized. I opened the letter. Two pieces of paper from the book. Not very romantic. The writing is not neat either. Why do people like this love me. Expressing love is not brave. The letter is not romantic either. There is no sender name either. Who exactly is he. I read slowly, trying to live out sentence by sentence.
You may be surprised when you get this letter. Sorry yes, only through this writing can I express my feelings. A feeling I've had for years. You remember, when we were little we liked to play house-house even we were always a couple as husband and wife. At that time I promised that we would be a couple forever. Even though at that time we ourselves do not know what love is, but have tied the promise of living together forever. You are finally with Jodi. A new neighbor who lives next to my house. Honestly, I was so jealous because you always played with him. You forget me when you make new friends. Especially when he said you were his girlfriend and he forbade me to play with you again. Do you know what I did? I cried all day in my room. How much you mean to me. But you've instigated Jodi's words, so you're hostile towards me for no reason.
Time passed until I had a boyfriend and you moved to Java. Whereas when you say goodbye, I want to ask for your address in order to meet when we grow up. Jodi's blocking me again. He took my time to talk to you. Year after year passed. The feeling is still there for you, but we've lost communication. I thought you'd forgotten me and never come back.
But do you know how I felt when we met at the station. Even though we didn't know each other back then, there were feelings that pushed me to meet you. A feeling that makes me want to get to know you more closely. And the story of stealing mangoes is the medicine that makes me remember you all the time. Do you remember what happened when we stole the mango? I said, “This wound will heal soon, because I already kissed him.” At that moment your cry turned into a very sweet smile. Although I honestly feel very disgusted to smell the wound. Hehehe…. That promise is back in my memory. But I don't have the courage to approach you anymore. So I approached Disa and told her everything. My hope was lost when I heard your stories from Disa. At that time I could only stand by watching you get hurt and owned by someone else. In my heart at least I still have hope to continue with you even as a friend. I will still be your loyal friend even if you already have someone else.
But then Disa forced me to reveal everything. Cana forced me to fulfill our childhood promise. And it is only through this writing that I dare say I LOVE YOU. And I hope that promise will be made soon.
My Greetings Always for You.
I can't believe he remembers that promise, but I never took it seriously. I kissed the letter and held it tight. Then lay staring at the ceiling of the room, hoping to meet him in dreamland. A feeling of happiness accompanied my sleep.
In the morning the big families of Sanu and Disa are ready to leave for Jakarta. Followed by Om Gunawan's extended family. One by one the cars started to leave the yard. But suddenly Dayat got out of the car.
“What's up?” Ask Dad.
“There's a miss, sir. Excuse me.” Dayat answered while running inside. Not long after, Dayat got out and got in the car.
“Cage!!!” I ran over as he opened the car door.
Dayat turned around, waiting for me.
I stood right in front of him. “I wait for your appointment.” My smile widens.
Dayat smiled, nodded, and got in the car.
