LOVE IS A CHOICE

Part 2

It really surprised me

“ haa.. satria, you have returned “ I stand looking at him with a smile as well as let out tears of happiness, how not someone I have missed all this time has returned to me

“ draak...” drop the glass cup that contains the tea. But these eyes still looked at the knight, and the footsteps seemed to refuse and continued to lead me to walk to him and even my hands began to hold him tightly. I wept happily seeing him, my gratitude to the almighty God for bringing us together and I held the hand of the knight as a tangible form that I did not want to part with him .

“ zahra, calm down let's sit down first nak” I heard mother's voice calm me down

“ zahra, satria must not have said anything to you about abil” said mother satria

“ abil? What auntie mean? Abil who? “ in wonder and mention back abil's name

“ is actually the person in front of you right now is not a “ knight said the father of the knight firmly

“ om this is impossible, this is satria om, right ri? “ my words and refute the words of the father of satria.

I saw the knight just looking at me without saying a word, his expression was not at all a show of happiness like me. He was as usual when he saw me and moreover the way he dressed like he was really not the knight I knew. The first lady approached me and held my hand as if to talk about something that would hurt my feelings again.

“ like this son, the knight had a twin brother named abil, memeng not many people who know about our son this one. because when we want to move to this city, we will not be able to move to the city, abil was also accepted as a soldier and sent out of the area to study and serve there hm….. Sighs

“ and we can only meet him if we go there nak” said father satria. Hearing that, this heart was broken to the brink, but I had to calm down first and ask him directly what the person before me was not really a knight

“ ri you are really satria ?” I approached and I looked deeply into the eyes of the knight and I hope that all the things his mother said were not true

“ sorry zahra, introduce my name abil, I'm her brother satria” while extending his hand. I stood up and walked slowly as if away from her, mother pulled me and took me to sit back. In my heart I kept blaming myself for not being able to stop the knight at that time, and thinking that my fate seemed to be swayed in the vast sea without direction or purpose. How depressing. The memory of him replayed first our dear nicknames ri and ra. ri for the knight and ra for my name zahra it was a pleasant moment.

I took the letter and read it.

To my dear ra

I knew this might happen or it might never happen. Oh, I hope

But one thing is for sure I will always love you however and whatever you are, and before I go out of the country for the demands of the job, I want to tell you something. Hmm. You remember when we were in the garden that if I didn't I would've found a replacement for me before and I hope you would accept him and love him as much as you love me. I don't know why I can talk like this, but I just want to give you the best.

And I finally found that guy. He's my brother, brother Abil, I chose him because he will take good care of you. I want you to be together if I'm not in this world.

Greetings and I hope this letter really doesn't work later unless I'm really gone.

“ zahra now all options are on you “ said aunt ryani

I take a breath back. The words of the last verse letter if I am right do not keep ringing in my ears feels torturous and disturbing.

“ this is actually we are worried about what will happen later, let alone your wedding invitation has been spread. We are also very sad about the passing of the knight because I am also his father. But wherever satria now om always pray for him” said om toni wisely. Though I knew in his heart it was so painful to have lost his son.

“ zahra I know this is heavy for you, but you have to think about it carefully son, because this will determine your future” looks once the eyes of the mother begin to shed tears, and I can't stand to see my mom cry, especially because of me. But what dayaku shadow satria keeps appearing even now, the words that once told me that before he died he would definitely find a suitable person for me first but at that time I did not discuss it, because I thought the guy was just joking at me and teasing me.

But what happened today was already proven, he went and found a replacement for him. If I knew this, I would have told him from the beginning
