Karma Love

Scarves and Bracelets

"What a sweet love story.'' Dea commented.

''How could you really get a horseless prince like him. I also want.'' Now Una.

Don't just know how weird they are about my love story when I'm with Adji. How it feels when the love of hope is at the end of wishful thinking must be melted down with the wounds of betrayal.

''Is that a sign that you will take my fiancee ?'' Ceplos Syila's.

Sontak Syila again got a look of horror from her friends.

''I do want to, but that doesn't mean that your fiance must be either.'' Una ketus answered.

''By the way, how far have you guys come in contact ?'' Imbuh Una again by raising his eyebrows.

''What do you mean. You clearly know we've reached the engagement stage.'' Syila is back.

''Kissing, making out, or the other extreme ?'' Whisper Una again.

Directly get a look of horror from Syila.

''Nothing is. Just hold hands.'' Exhaling tired breaths.

Una is more a bar than any other. I don't know what he did with his girlfriend. Sometimes Syima sees a red mark on her neck. But lazy to talk about it. Syila felt it was her privacy.

''Syila when did you leave for the city ?'' This time Talita.

''Lusa I'm leaving.''

''Are you really going to leave ? (with a sad face). May your journey achieve the ideals smoothly yes.'' Its effects.

''Yes. How about yourself ? I will miss you guys so much.''

''Don't think about us. We each have our own plans. We support each other and pray for the best. Don't forget to always communicate.'' Dea.

That afternoon was spent hanging out with a gangmate.

''Dad.. Mother..''

''What's the matter, dear ? Come.'' Said Father.

Syilapun approached his father and his mother who happened to be relaxing in the family room.

''Tonight I slept together again..'' Melas Syila's.

''What else is it, baby ? Are you still having nightmares ?'' Mother.

''Aren't. But do not know why it feels like to linger with you guys. I think there will be a long goodbye. I am sad to think about it. Or I'll just drop it off, go to college in town. I continue my study near here.'' Syila Beber.

''You're how's this ? How could your son give up that easily. We'll just leave tomorrow. Registration has also been accepted. That's a dream, baby. Mom and Dad would be proud. Our daughter became a mature and independent princess. Enter the university of his dreams with his own values and efforts. Don't worry about us. We're just at home. The furthest to go to the market. Hihihi.'' Dad tried to comfort Syila who was starting to worry.

''There are two paths to that goal. The first instant road. You can pay someone to make your dreams come true. But it's not good. You won't know what it's like to fight. And you won't be able to taste sweet and satisfied when you reach a goal. And again, not necessarily your ideals can be accepted or useful for others. Make your life experience less as well.''

''The two paths are full of struggle and sacrifice. It's more difficult. Because it's not just the mind that's drained. Your soul, body, heart and time will also play a role desperately according to your spirit. However, it will shape your personality to become stronger. You'll have more stories and lessons in life. You will have many experiences that will continue to be faithful to accompany your life in the future. There will be a lot of stories for your grandchildren. Your work will be more appreciated according to your sacrifice. And certainly there will be a sense of pride and satisfaction.'' Advice from Mother.

''This mother has brought grandchildren.'' Syila Protest.

Basic Syila. advice at length as heard the part of the posterity only.

Finally, with all her whining, Syila managed to persuade Father and Mother to allow her to sleep together again.

***

''Wake up baby.'' Mom and Dad tried to wake up Syila.

Syila was surprised to immediately hug her mother tightly with a sob.

''Mom, I dreamt of being in a tomb. Crying with pain and full of wounds. I'm afraid Mom.'' I immediately gave him a glass of water.

''Relax baby, just a dream.'' Mother stroked head to back Syila.

''I'm afraid Ma'am.'' With the body starting to shake.

Syila finally went back to sleep in the arms of her parents.

***

Today is the day of Syila's departure. He's getting sulky. She was scared because of her nightmares. Mom and Dad tried to calm her down again. When it calmed down, the car that was going to drive them had already come, suddenly Doni appeared.

''Donnin.. What's up ?''

''I heard your departure from Talita. That's why I came here. I'm also leaving today to join my cousin who's in country X. I'm interested in going there. You take good care of yourself. Congratulations on your engagement too.''

'It's actually more precisely because it wants to try to remove you from my heart. I'll find a bustle there. And when he saw his hand, it was like someone was pinched so it hurt so much when he saw his ring finger pinned by another man.'

''Ohh yes. wahh great. there will definitely be winter.''

Syila took off the scarf that was already sweetly gripped on her neck.

''This.. Wear this.. I wish it was any good. It's my favorite scarf. I learned to knit it myself with Mom.''

'I hooked that thing on his neck. I look back at this man's face in front of me. The face that I once disappointed maybe until now he still feels disappointed. I always pray that he gets a better woman than me. Especially those who love him. Because I can't do that.'

''I brought you this too. I've been wanting to give it a long time. But I don't have the guts.''

A red velvet box. I opened it. Is this a bracelet ?

I looked at Doni.

''May you like. I bought it with my own money. That's my special order for you.'' She grinned.

''Is this not excessive ?''

''That's not how much. I'm so lucky to know you. Let's just say it's a payday because you always give math answers.'' Doni grinned while scratching his head that did not itch.

''Don't you like it ?'' When she saw Syila just looked at the bracelet, without doing anything.

''Stupid..!! How could I not like. Thanks very much. It's very beautiful.''

'No Syila. There is something more beautiful. Your smile. I'll definitely be so tormented for not being able to see your smile back'. Inner Doni.

''I put it on.''

Doni put the bracelet in Syila's right hand. Silver-colored bracelets with letter spelling engrave the name 'Arsyila' and with various crescent and star decorations.

''Syila come on baby. We will be left behind by the plane.'' Mother called.

''Yes Ma'am.''

''I have to go now. Hope your trip to Country X is good. Hopefully there you can meet your love. I'm so lucky to meet a nice guy like you. And thank you so much for the time. Take good care of yourself. I will definitely miss you.'' Syila.

Doni ushered in his departure with a prayer of hope. He held a scarf given by Syila. 'May happiness be with you always.'
