LAILA (The Girl Who Seeked Justice)

Episode 52's. Three Months

"Stop, brother. My legs are tired.." laila complained.

His legs felt sore and was not able to accompany the rhythm of Attar's steps like running it. Hearing Laila's village, Attar stopped his steps. His firm grip was also released. Attar chose to fold both hands in front of the chest. His eyes also stared at the carefree water ripples blown by the baby.

"Why did you break your promise....?" laila said later.

Getting that question, Attar's attention immediately shifted. Attar's eyes looked at Laila's beautiful face. Without a hint of distraction. This made Laila angry. The pretty girl turned her face away. Avoiding Attar's sharp eyes.

"It's not me. But you're the one who broke the promise." said Attar.

"I...??"

"Yes. Try to remember. Shortly before you go abroad what do you promise me?"

A moment Laila glared. He tried to retrace the memory trail as Attar had requested. Lama Laila tried, but nil. Laila nodded slowly. His eyes did not look at the man standing before him.

"You said that you'd continue your seriousness when I proposed to you on my return from surgery. I'm tired of waiting, La. Your promise is not real. Because I took the initiative to do this through your father..."

"By exploiting past events...?"

"Past incident...?"

"Yes. The moment your father saved your father and mother's lives. Isn't that?"

"Whatchu mean? I love you without those frills. I sincerely love you. Even without it, I still love you"

"But I don't love my sister." said Laila Lirih.

Attar. He was sure and understood very well what words had just come out of the lips of the girl he loved. But as calm as possible Attar tried to face Laila. Attar is trying to be as mature as Wijoyo expected, the commander and father of the girl he loves.

Attar grabbed Laila's hand. The tall body was seen letting his knees play with the green grass. Yes, Attar was crouching in front of Laila. The officer's eyes were fixed on the girl he loved. Attar hopes his treatment will get a positive response from the idol, Laila. But instead of getting attention, Laila actually hinted disappointed. And Attar is doing what he has to do.

Finally Attar ventured to once again express his feelings while convincing Laila of his true love. Old Attar spoke this and that. Especially about the seriousness, sincerity and commitment that Laila wants to build with. And finally...

The clear thread that has been poking both eyes of Laila is now a success in freefall. The thread drenched his cheek and right on the back of Attar's hand that still held Laila's hand.

And the officer gasped for some clear hairs on the back of his hand. The man's eyes again stared fixedly at Laila's wet face.

Deg.

"Is that how Laila accepted my love? Is it because of Oemar Barraq? Has Laila found her love for Barraq? If so, what should I do?" inner Attar.

"I know how I feel. I'm just confused what to do. I'm waiting for Brother Barraq for the continuation of this love story. Yeah, God. Please love me.." Inner Laila.

Attar releases Laila's hand. So slowly. The officer also stood up. It was after learning of the failure of his attempt to convince Laila, the girl he had loved for a long time.

"I'm sorry, I. Just look. I'm giving you a choice. Three months is the time for you to convince your heart. If the love you seek is found before three months, then I will be glad to let you go. But if you don't find it, then you have to continue our marriage. Deal...?"

Laila looked silent. Only his eyes were staring at the face of the man before him. There was an element of disbelief at the end of his gaze. Seeing that Attar nodded steadily. He tried to convince Laila.

The girl who had just obtained her beauty seemed to think. Laila twisted her body, turning her back to Attar. His hands crossed his chest for a moment.

"How's it?" attar.

Although it was a difficult choice, Attar tried to do as fair as possible for the girl he loved.

"Deal.." said Laila later.

"Good.." said Attar.

"Why do you agree, Laila? You'll have my heart torn apart every time you remember Oemar Barraq" Attar's inner self.
