Imamku Man

An Accidental Meeting

Time keeps passing. Elmo and Vero's relationship is getting better, Vero has mastered all the lessons given by Elmo related to the business they take care of together. The engagement was officially held at Vero's parents' house last month, preparing them to reach 50%, and will soon carry out a 2-month marriage contract.

Meanwhile Bima experienced a remarkable change after losing Vero. Although it had experienced a very severe loss, but all of that was used as a lesson and changed its nature to be better. Bima is increasingly religious, and often follows the study of Islamic studies in his work environment and surroundings. His career was getting bolted, and his ambition to have his own clinic was almost completed 90 %. But all of that was not as successful as his love life. He persisted with his solitude, because it turned out that his heart still could not turn away from Vero, the person he had once wasted for the sake of other women.

This afternoon Vero went to a cloth store in Malioboro area, he wanted to buy some kebaya materials for his family uniform in Sumatra at his wedding later.

Vero was engrossed in choosing to call Elmo her future husband, to ask for his opinion.

" El..are you busy?"

" Don't you care, I'm still checking some files, did you get the material?"

" Not El, so I want to ask your opinion, the material is very good, but I'm confused about the color."

" If the matter of color is up to you, which one you like, I'm the treasurer's part dear" said Elmo jokingly.

" Iiihhh you're just being asked for a joking opinion."

" I really won't protest anyway, which is important for your family, don't think too much about the price?"

" really El? Are you willing to pay a lot for our wedding? Not to mention later you have to rent a hotel again for your group to stay in Sumatra."

" You don't have to think about it, I've prepared everything, don't worry. Do I need to tell you the nominal balance of my savings?"

" Hehehe doesn't need to, I believe. I just don't feel good if you have to spend big money on my family's uniform costs."

" Vero...your family will later become my family too, so you can't hesitate huh?"

" Yes, I thank you?"

" Yeah...Yes choose as you like ", replied Elmo softly.

The phone was then closed by Vero.

And Vero again eager to choose back.

After he finished choosing some materials, Vero immediately gave them to the store clerk and then paid for them. After that Vero came out of the store, carrying several large bags of kebaya cloth and several other materials.

He continued to walk to the parking lot, then stopped for a moment to call the Elmo driver who drove him earlier. Actually, Vero wanted to ride a motorcycle, but Elmo did not allow it, arguing it would be difficult to carry that much groceries on a motorcycle. Vero's breath went down, right said Elmo was very heavy carrying these groceries, fortunately not how long Elmo driver immediately came to pick him up.

" Sir, please take these groceries to the car, will you wait a minute? there are still some things I want to buy."

" It's good" replied Elmo's driver.

Then Vero walked back to the mall, the plan he wanted to buy a tie to give to his lover.

Vero then passed through an entrance and immediately went up the escalator to head upstairs. Vero continued to walk slowly, while occasionally looking at the goods on display around him.

Vero went into the men's clothing section, then he asked the guard who was nearby to tell the location of the item he was looking for. After being told by the guard, Vero went straight to the place called earlier.

Soon he found the thing he was looking for.

Vero continued to observe the tie in front of him, various colors and various prices, ranging from the cheapest, to the most expensive. Vero continued to be engrossed in choosing the choosy, and unknowingly there was a pair of eyes that were watching him.

" Vero's? Is he Vero? Is she in a veil now?" Ask a man to yourself.

He kept approaching Vero's position, to see it more clearly.

" Yes All right it's Vero, she looks more graceful and beautiful. Vero's been almost two years since I've seen you, and this change of yours has made me barely recognize you."

Then with all his heart the man immediately approached Vero and called out to him.

" Ve.", call him slowly.

Vero was shocked by the call. The voice seemed familiar to her ears, yet Vero half-believed, what the man was that he meant.

" Ve..." He repeated his call.

After feeling completely convinced by the voice of the man he knew, Vero immediately turned his face toward the voice.

" O...?" Call slowly.

" Yes Ve, how are you?"

Ask Bima.

" Thank God Bim, you?"

" I'm good Ve."

There is a great vibration in Bima, after the last 2 years have never met Vero, it turns out that the taste is still there and never changed.

" I happened to have a meeting outside, and came back here for a while."

" Are you not working anymore?"

" I still work for Bim, but not in that place anymore, I'm now with Elmo taking care of his company."

" company? so he's a Ve businessman?"

" Yes, and I only found out after he proposed to me, because during our courtship he kept it a secret to me."

Bima was silent, it turned out that the man he once considered one eye, was precisely a great person who was able to hide his identity in front of others, unlike him who was arrogant with the title and intelligence he had.

" You're changing now Ve?"

" I'm still like Bim used to be, only my appearance has changed."

" Yes, I know, there is nothing to change in you, for you are good enough Ve."

" Just someone else can judge us Bim."

" How are your parents?"

" Thank God be good Ve."

" Yes, I haven't called her since we broke up, because I'm afraid that calling them would just be a long time ago, when I love them so much and miss them." Said Vero.

" Yes Ve, they often ask you. My sister's sister too, the most outspoken mama always wanted to call you but I forbid, because I'm afraid you haven't been able to forget your heartache with me."

" Don't Bim talk about it, it's just our past, and I see a little change in you?" Vero noticed Bima's slightly changed appearance, he kept his beard, and the cocoa clothes he wore.

" Ah I'm just learning to improve myself Ve, as you said before, don't be too busy just improving our physicality, but fix our hearts as well because it's more important."

" Do you remember Bim?" Vero said with a smile.

" I still remember everything about you Ve, and I won't be able to forget it."

Vero lowered his head while throwing away his groin. Although Vero had forgotten about it and changed his position with Elmo in his heart, but the memory of Bima certainly could not just disappear, let alone his figure was in front of him at this time. And he just needs to organize his feelings, so as not to drift in the memories of the past.

" Ou?" Call Bima.

" Yes", replied Vero, raising his face.

" How is your relationship with Elmo?"

" Thank God our relationship is good, just last month we had an engagement, and insyaalloh in 2 months we will marry Bim."

There was a pain in Bima's chest when she heard that Elmo was about to marry Vero.

" Congratulations Ve, if I hadn't made a mistake back then..."

" Here is Bim please don't talk about it again?"

" It turns out that it was true that the time in the square, you managed to get through it while I didn't. It turns out that you will soon be happy with your future husband, while I still remain like this ", said Bima slowly.

" Don't believe Bim's superstition, maybe it's just a coincidence."

" Yes.it just so happens to be real."

" Anya how's Bim?" Vero asked trying to divert the conversation.

" After I stayed, I never got in touch with him again, because I immediately changed my phone number. The last news I received from my friend in Surabaya, she referred back to her husband, but this time she became a second wife."

" Refer back? didn't she say her husband betrayed her?"

" Yes right, but how could she possibly really let go of her wealthy ex-husband Ve, she was willing to sacrifice her pride for a treasure."

" Well, I hope this time he's really happy and won't bother you anymore."

A moment later Vero saw his watch, he remembered an appointment with Elmo to pick him up home.

" I'm sorry, Bim, I'll go first, Elmo's coming home soon, and I promise to pick him up."

" O please Ve, greetings to Elmo yes, heart on the road."

Then Vero immediately passed from before Bima, Bima continued to stare at Vero's departure until lost from his sight.

" Vero you've completely forgotten me, may you be happy with Elmo Ve" whispered Bima, then took a deep breath, and canceled her intention to buy a shirt, because his mood suddenly disappeared.
