Love in the Waiting

Matchmade

Asyila was now sitting on a park chair waiting for Vino and Erlan to arrive. He occasionally glanced at the passersby before him. Before long someone called out to him shouting.

"Mother.." cried Vino.

"Unfortunately mother" said Asyila as she turned and stood up.

"Vino kangen mother, very miss mother" he said while hugging tightly Asyila.

"Mother also miss you dear, how are you glad we could meet today ?"syila said as she knelt to align her body with Vino.

"Vino is very happy mother, from now on Vino was impatient to meet mother." he said while hugging Syila.

"Mother is also very happy to meet the handsome child mother, hmm we eat ice cream in the store yuk, Vino want ?"

"Let's go, Vino wants chocolate and vanilla flavored ice cream can?"

"By dong, let's go boy" said Asyila as she held Vino's hand tightly.

While Erlan, the man had just been silent and put on a normal flat and cold. I don't know what Erlan is thinking right now. Are you thinking about work ? Or thinking about Asyila ? only Erlan knows.

Too preoccupied with daydreaming and struggling with his own thoughts, Erlan was slightly jumped as Asyila patted her on the shoulder.

"Sister." call Asyila

"What's wrong?" said flat.

"What are you thinking ? I noticed that I was just daydreaming." said Syila

"Don't mind my business, take care of yours." Erlan said.

"I don't mean to know brother, just that I saw from earlier like I was badmood" said slowly Asyila

"Founded by women, not sensitive" murmured Erlan.

"Did you say something ?" ask Asyila

"Nothing, it's better you take care of Vino and play as much as Vino, don't think about me. I'll wait for you here." said flat Erlan

"Terakah kaka lahlah." said Asyila

Why don't you get sensitive Syil ? I'm like this because of you. Basically you have not been sensitive before. Inner Erlan.

Asyila and Vino are getting the ice cream they want. Yes, the ice cream shop was quite queued to make them have to be a little patient and wait. Now the two are walking with one of their hands holding on and the other holding the ice cream.

"Papa.." call Vino

"How did you get ice cream ? Vino happy son?"

"It's Papa, Vino is very happy because you want to meet with Vino and invite Vino to buy this ice cream." enthusiastic

"You've finished the ice cream then, Vino is indeed a smart child" he said while stroking Vino's head

"Vino can play with those kids Papa ? Vino wants to play ball too."

It was not Erlan who answered that Ashila had suddenly responded to Vino's request. " Could ko dear, you can play with the children, but remember carefully yes, do not be far from the sight of Papa and Mommy." said Asyila.

"Okay Mommy" he said by hand forming the letter O.

Meanwhile, Vino was playing and did not escape the supervision of Erlan and Asyila. The current situation was really awkward, no one started the conversation until Ashila finally opened their conversation first.

"Hmm Brother Erlan is okay ?" ask Asyila

"Siang was fine, but after lunch my mood was a mess" said Erlan

10 Minutes later Ashila returned with one hand carrying a chocolate-flavored ice cream.

"Take this brother" thrusting ice cream in front of Erlan

"I'm not Syil's little boy you should offer ice cream. I don't want to." refused Erlan

"Come on Kak, this as a powerful medicine so that Kaka's mood returns good." Asyila persuaded

"I'm upset and badmood not because I want ice cream but my mood is not good." Erlan said

"In fact, I read an article, and there explained that chocolate can restore our mood if our mood is not good. I was just helping you with that, sis, I saw you so uninspired and seemed to be holding back the frustration. So take this ice cream and I hope your heart can be a little better." explained Asyila

Erlan thought for a moment, but finally he received the ice cream and soon he spent it in a short time.

"How ? is it better ?" asked Asyila who was now sitting next to Erlan

"Yes a little better" Erlan said

"If I may know, what's really going on with Kaka ? Why is my mood so bad ?"asked Asyila while looking at Erlan

"I want to find a companion for my life and Vino in the future" Erlan said

DEG

Erlan's words slightly made Asyila's feelings and heart suddenly cramped, there was something she wanted to take out of the corner of her eyes but Asyila tried to hide her sadness.

"That's a good thing and I think it will make Vino happy if he'll get mom on the line." Asyila said with a forced smile

"Yes, my mother called me to tell me that if there were no obstacles, I would be betrothed to Papa's office friend's son" Erlan said

DEG

Erlan's statement this time made Asyila's heart throb. Erlan will be betrothed ? meaning that it means Asyila does have to step back as far as now and start slowly to forget the promise that Erlan once made. Asyila slightly turned her face away and in that second her tears fell without permission from behind her beautiful eyes.

O Allah, it is this so-called love clapping one hand ? Is this God the answer to every prayer I have ever prayed ? inner Asyila.

Asyila wiped away the remaining tears on her cheeks and turned back to Erlan.

"I'm happy if you have such good intentions, what you think is Vino's life in the future. However, Vino also needs the figure of a mother in him. I will always support all your good steps, sister" said Asyila

"At first I doubt Shil accepted the offer to be betrothed to the woman, because in fact I have also found the woman that I had always wanted, but maybe God did not predestine us to be together. God showed me if it turns out that my dream woman already has a prospective companion." Erlan said with a flat look.

"Oh let me guess, you badmood because you saw that woman with her future companion ?" ask Asyila

"Yes you're right, even they look so familiar. I actually wanted to ask who the man was, but I could already guess from the way they interacted with each other, their relationship was very familiar. So right now I'm back thinking and weighing maybe I'd better accept Mama's offer" Erlan said

"If you are fooled God will certainly bring you closer, I will pray if your choice will be the best for Kaka and Vino." said Asyila

"Sure Syil, I will learn to forget the woman of my dreams and will start to get to know the woman you will introduce later. Thank you Syil because my mood is a little better now" said Erlan

"Let's just calm, brother, the pokonya I always support kaka.. I'm so happy." said Asyila with a forced smile

You're so happy that Syil heard I'd be betrothed to another woman ? Maybe it's true that you never have feelings for me, you've found the right man for your life. Besides, maybe all this time I was too carried away and the feeling that you will wait for me to keep my promise to tie you in the marriage bond that I promised first. Can I lose this love for you Syil ? Can I forget my first love ? I can start my life with someone I don't love, because forever my heart will be filled only by your name Asyila Luthfia Gunawan. The inner Erlan who was still staring at Asyila was so deep.

O Allah, this heartache hears if he accepts to be betrothed, is this the story of my love ? Yes I can feel the pain of love clapping one hand. Can I forget you, brother ? forget the promise you made first ? The marriage bond you promised 8 years ago seems like it was just a sweet promise you made. But why do I consider it all as your promise that I need to wait for. Can I slowly step back and forget this love for you, brother ? If you knew how much my heart hurts right now, brother. Inner Asyila.

Both of them misunderstand how ?🥺
