JIWO PROMISE
Let go
"Is your boyfriend really going to propose to you next year?" jiwo asked Lily as they sat alone on the front porch chewing on Lily's orange peel.
"Said Robby. But we haven't discussed exactly when. Hopefully by the end of next year" Lily said as she glanced at Jiwo.
"Why do you want the end of the year?" ask Jiwo curious.
"Yes who knows Mas Jiwo want a proposal first in the beginning or middle of next year marriage truss. I don't have to step in (before, jump over) Mas Jiwo" Lily said with a smile.
Jiwo grunting.
That's another language.
Yesterday his mother, now his sister.
"I was not overstepped, either. Just relax." said Jiwo with a careless face.
"Isn't it really papa?" ask Lily happily.
"Mmmmm." Jiwo replied while nodding.
"Later ask for an expensive step." said Lily with a worried tone.
"No! Seikhlasmu. Just make a formality sign excuse me for getting ahead, right? But if you are a polite sister, you must know how to appreciate the kindness of Masnya who want to be stepped over" said Jiwo while chuckling evilly.
Lily pouted looking at him.
"Anyone wants expensive things." Lily's whistle.
"No! Who said I wanted to ask? I'll say your seikhlasmu." said Jiwo while holding back a laugh.
"But Mas said I should know how to appreciate you. Cook I appreciate you with a stepdriver a set of clothes?" lily was upset.
"Lha keep you want to give me a step what will I guess? A chopper?" ledek Jiwo's.
"The house on the helicopter runway wants to?" hail Lily with spirit.
"Your girlfriend is the sultan? Why do you want to give such a fancy step? The house that has the helipad?" jiwo asked a little surprised.
"Not! Robby is an architect. Later let the miniature house that there is a helipad as well as a helicopter for the stepping step" said Lily while chuckling to make Jiwo annoyed.
Lily grew increasingly laugh at the annoyed face of her brother.
"Mas Jiwo did not have to think about my wedding expenses. Mas Robby said our family should not be out of expenses at all later." said Lily casually shifted the discussion from stepping to the cost of marriage.
Jiwo
Which really is?! Usually, Javanese women will certainly pay their own fees for their reception.
That's why Jiwo began to think about preparing funds for Lily's wedding reception later.
Although it may not be luxurious but at least worthy and memorable for the once in a lifetime event his sister.
"The family is rich like Robby" Jiwo said with a smile.
Deep in his heart he is grateful if Lily's soul mate will be enough.
At least his sister is more guaranteed life later even though Lily is not a type of materialistic girl.
Life also requires financial comfort. That's a reality that can't be denied.
"I think so." said Lily again.
"His parents know you're not rich?" ask Jiwo then.
"Know. I was invited to dinner to meet his parents and asked about our family. As I always say, we should always be honest. Yeah, I told you what it was." Lily answered while chewing an orange.
"They want to be like you who's just a building's coolie?" ask Jiwo curious.
"No." Lily replied grimacingly.
The deg!
Jiwo's chest rumbled later.
The poor are often looked down upon and rejected.
Sometimes life just wants to see someone is rich in treasure. I don't want to see the other side of someone. Whether it's his intelligence or his good manners. Good intelligence and good manners are also wealth. Not just treasure.
Sometimes life is unfair.
"If Robby's family doesn't want to be the same you why are you with the PD planning a wedding next year?" jiwo asked, starting to frown
Don't-don't Robby will take his sister eloped
"Because now Robby's family has accepted me." Lily said with a smile of relief.
"Couldn't you? You're told why his family is welcome?" ask Jiwo curious.
"Told to prove that I deserve to be Mas Robby's companion." Lily replied briefly.
"How?" jiwo asked in pursuit.
"Yes by showing good attitude and education. Keep a good name. I am also independent, can work well. That's all." Lily replied calmly.
"That's it?" jiwo didn't believe it.
"Yes. That's it." Lily answered reassuringly.
"So seriously?" jiwo was still unsure.
"Yes! Why don't you believe that?" ask Lily back with an annoyed face.
"It's not difficult the conditions" Jiwo said later.
"What?" jiwo asked, lowering his voice.
"There will be a pre-marital agreement on property. How about tomorrow we just want to discuss" said Lily in a lower voice.
Treasure remains the main language.
"We who do you mean? Are you your future father-in-law?" jiwo asked, getting a little upset.
"Yes." replied Lily as she looked at Jiwo timidly.
"They're worried you robbed their son's property, aren't they?" jiwo asked with a bitter chuckle.
It is sad that his heart hears this.
Do you think poor people approach rich people just to drain their wealth?
Do they think the poor are always afraid to see the sheen of the world?
We are low in their eyes, O God...
"Aren't you offended by the pre-wedding request?" ask Jiwo again.
"Nope!" answer Lily steady.
"Part of the motivation I want to marry Mas Robby is also not willing to drain his family's property. Even if Mas Robby is not rich I still want to be with him as long as he stays like Robby who has a personality that I know all along. I fell in love with her personality and her spirit of work, not her father's wealth" Lily explained.
Jiwo gave his thumbs up proudly.
"It is important not to let your pride trampled on just because of the treasure" Jiwo said later.
"For sure." said Lily while laughing confidently.
"Mas Jiwo really does not have a wife?" lily asked after the two momentarily fell silent.
Jiwo shook his head steadily.
"Daughter?" ask Lily again.
Jiwo back to shake.
"Still enjoying a broken heart?" ask Lily again.
Jiwo this time looked at Lily a little in shock.
"Who said?" jiwo asked while smiling wryly.
Enjoying a broken heart, right? Ls i?
"Mbak Rini never told me about Mbak Witri..."
"Stttt..stop...! stop that!" cut Jiwo did not want Lily to continue her sentence.
"Why?" lily did not accept it.
"No need to say that anymore. It's over." Jiwo said quickly.
Lily caught the change in her brother's face.
Despite trying to be calm in front of her, Lily knew her brother was muffling the turmoil.
"Hopefully get a replacement, yes, Mas" said Lily at last.
"Aamiin." said Jiwo later.
"Have you ever tried to live with someone else?" lily asked later, with a little fear.
Afraid to be considered too presumptuous to interfere in his brother's personal affairs.
"Dare to accept anyone. I haven't finished cleaning my own heart. It is not fair to accept someone even though our heart space is still occupied by others" Jiwo said in response.
Lily nodded in understanding.
Means right, right,. Mas Jiwo is heartbroken. Poor him.
"Mas not yet sincere?" lily asked, asking deeper.
"Should be sincere, Ly. I'm trying really hard. If I'm not sincere it means I want to fight the fate line" Jiwo said slowly.
"Can't prayer change destiny, Mas?" lily asked as she looked at Jiwo seriously.
"Yes. And since the first time I always pray Witri get the best in his life. I always try to make myself better every day so that I can be the best for him. But it turns out that fate shows that there is something better than me. Someone who is now a companion of Witri is the best for his life. And it wasn't me. The best for Witri is her husband" Jiwo said softly, and sadly.
"Mas sure Mbak Witri has got the best?" ask Lily.
"For now, yes. I keep praying he always gets the best." replied Jiwo.
"Mas still praying for Ma'am Witri?"" ask Lily in astonishment.
Jiwo nodded while staring in surprise at Lily's shocked reaction just now.
What is wrong with praying?
"Why? Is something wrong?" jiwo asked while looking at Lily.
"How can you let him go from your heart if he is still in your prayer? Though the core of all hope and memory is always in prayer" said Lily made Jiwo stunned.
"Take him off your prayers, Mas. Pray for yourself. Someone already has it in their prayers. Her husband had it in his prayer." Lily said, making Jiwo even more stunned.
