JIWO PROMISE

Moving Decision

Hanifah listened to Jiwo's explanation calmly. Even occasionally he still plucks banana gapit on a plate that became Jiwo rations.

He still looks calm enjoying the banana gapit in his mouth and still also looks seriously pay attention to what Jiwo said.

Frankly, Ifah's calm attitude was beyond Jiwo's expectations.

Jiwo initially believed that Ifah would react crying lamenting the distance that would separate them, or at least surprised or even immediately cut his words about his work move to Jakarta and will reject it.

But turns? Jiwo can finish the long explanation about the plan in his head about the continuation of their relationship in the future. And Ifah remained sitting quietly in front of him with a calm face as well.

This girl is special. It can be so calm like this.

"Where do you think?" tanya Jiwo finally asked Ifah for his opinion after his explanation had reached the end of the word.

"Because of you, I will answer according to my heart and reason as a woman..." Ifah looked at Jiwo for a moment while upholding her seat before continuing.

"If it's ego, obviously I don't want us to LDR, Mas. We are only as long as corn is related and must be tested with distance. We who usually every day can meet and chat face to face, later will only be able to chat by phone. It must be heavy later, Mas." said Ifah paused his speech then looked deeper into Jiwo's face to see the reaction of the man who was nodding slowly. It seems Jiwo understands the possibility.

Feeling heavy when having to undergo a long distance relationship.

Silently, Ifah's heart is steeped in a bad taste.

"But I can't forbid you from leaving here either because I don't have the right to forbid you from growing. Moreover, there is your good intention with you moving to Jakarta. You want to be closer to your family. I can't stand in the way of that goodwill." Ifah said with a smile.

Jiwo. Not just with that smile, but on Ifah's long and open mind.

Very nice of him...

"I only ask for one thing if we will be LDR." said Ifah while looking at Jiwo seriously though his eyes still glowed quietly.

"What's that?" jiwo asked with a look no less serious looking at Ifah's face, trying to show that he really spoke seriously about the future of their relationship.

"Don't make me fidget alone in my loyalty here. Please calm me down with your news that I will always wait for at all times" Ifah said with a hopeful look and glazed over.

Jiwo's heart skipped a beat as soon as he saw the eyes that began to be covered in dewdrops.

He could barely see those sad eyes.

Those eyes are sad. Jiwo clearly saw it even though Ifah's lips were still trying to review a thin smile.

"I promise I won't let your heart-day restless just to wait for news from me. I promise you that." said Jiwo in a voice that sounded very vibrating even though Ifah also caught the tone of solemnity in the voice.

Jiwo's mind immediately floated on his story with Witri who had to end up ridiculous because of communication that was not able to run smoothly because of the bad circumstances at that time.

And Jiwo certainly does not want to repeat the mistake again.

He was lost and very painful. And this time he does not want to lose again because of the same mistake.Stupid it feels if it is repeated again later.

Looking at Ifah's teary eyes when asking for a promise to her made her heart rustle sore.

Was Witri always sad like that when the reply letter never came?

Is every day Witri restless and waiting for him to reply to his letter first?

Jiwo's heart felt ragged at this moment imagining how sad Witri's days were.

Why was he able to be that old? Why didn't he try harder to make sure the letter got into Witri's hands?

I'm sorry, Wit, please forgive me.

"Mas!" ifah's call accompanied by a small shake on his arm made Jiwo return to the real world.

How long had he been daydreaming and thrown into the memories of the past?

Memory of Witri...

"Let's daydream." said Ifah while pouting slightly.

"Sorry.." said Jiwo as he extended his hand to stroke Ifah's cheek for a moment.

"How can you look so sad?" ask Ifah with a blush face because of the fingers Jiwo elusan on his cheek earlier.

"Dreams that you'll be waiting to hear from me. Saddened me." Jiwo replied while looking down, his face spread slightly reddened showing a change in his mood that instantly felt sour.

"Not to be shadowed...That's why you don't tell me.Let me not be sad" Ifah said with a sad smile.

"I promise to be patient as often as possible with you. I will be able to call you five times a day" Jiwo said with a teasing smile.

Ifah laughed.

"Obligatory prayer is it? Five times a day." said Ifah while chuckling.

Both are just as out of words. Just looking at each other for some time.

"Later if you are there turns out to be hearts with other girls, do not be double yes, Mas. Say aja. I don't want my loyalty and waiting to go to waste" Ifah said at last.

Jiwo.

He never even thought that possibility existed.

"Although it must hurt to me, but it would be much better for you to be honest. I would really appreciate that" Ifah said again.

"There are no plans to fall in love again. Just like you, already." said Jiwo with a serious face and eyes staring fully at Ifah.

Trying to convince Ifah as seriously as possible with what he just said.

It's too exhausting to start a new relationship again.

His heart was very hard to change direction.

And the second was never in his life plan all this time.

"When are your plans for a move?" ask Ifah later. Trying to normalize the atmosphere that was a moment gray earlier.

"In the next month. But I do not know exactly when because I have not informed my willingness to be placed in Jakarta. Tomorrow morning I turn to Mr. Hasan again to announce my decision. Pray for everything smoothly huh." pinta Jiwo while smiling looked at Ifah while his hand encapsulated Ifah's fingers on the table.

"Actually I don't want to pray that let you just be here. But since I see that you are happy to return to Java, I must still pray for you. The important thing is that you are happy and I'm sure everything will be fine" Ifah said again with a grim face

"All will be well. Of course everything will be fine, dear." said Jiwo with a gentle smile. His eyes stared in the shade into Ifah's eyes that seemed unable to hold back his tears.

"Kok even cry.." muttered Jiwo sadly making the cry of Ifah increasingly heavy and Isak began to slip from his lips that had been gripped.

"Diliatin guy, Fah...He thought we would fight again." whispered Jiwo while removing the tears that still adorned his cheeks with gentle movements.

Really, Jiwo's soft touches on him from now on made him fall more and more in love with the man in front of him. And made him afraid of losing.

Hanifah pulled her face away from the reach of Jiwo's hand and wiped away the rest of her own tears.

He was embarrassed as well as when glancing around and saw several pairs of eyes looking towards him.

"Are we going home now or are we still going to take another walk?" jiwo asked after seeing Ifah had looked calm again.

"Anyway home? I have the laundry that I have soaked from this morning." replied Ifah, grimacing in shame. Jiwo also grimaced considering he also had a clothesline that must still flutter dashing in front of his room until now.

Yes, we have just returned home." break up Jiwo then who got a nod of approval sign from Ifah.

Both walk casually along to the company employee mess which when taken by foot about ten minutes to reach the karyawati mess. And plus walk again five minutes will arrive at the employee mess.

Along the way the two seemed to be able to talk cheerfully. For a moment forget the next day that might be difficult to be able to walk together like this again later.
