He sat on the seafront of Ancol after his engagement had just finished. Long breaths of air now continued to be heard from him. He did choose to be engaged to Kinan but not with the promise he just said in front of many people.
The two friends sat down and saw the waves of the sea which is now quite large, the sky is reddish and covered in dark clouds to the passage of time.The cold sea air does not discourage them to move from its place, the sun is reddish, pants are a little dirty because of the grains of sea sand that are now starting to hit the leg area.Some empty soda cans he deliberately squeezed as if to show himself who is upset at this time.
He stared far away and pensively, there was not a single word he threw since coming out of Kinan's house.His mind was too tangled to go home, it felt like time had quickly passed so that he quickly left this country.
"I see you Raff, what do you really want? On one side you want to be engaged to Kinan but on the other you want to live with him. I told you, the end of this engagement is marriage. Even though the Kinan family was too excessive and asked you to promise it was natural, they were afraid that you would cheat there and waste the feelings of his son who was waiting for you here" said Rio.
There was no reply from a Raffa, he was just looking at the surging sea.
"If you're not sure it's better to back off, never give a woman false hope. Remember, your twin sister is also a girl lest she be treated unkindly by a man who does not want her." said Antoni, since the event he had heard Rio muttering even softly, he said, he also felt a little strange because during the event Raffa just smiled forcedly.
" I know, I was just surprised when Kinan asked me to promise, it wasn't him. He's a slipper ceplos won't think that far" he said without glancing at Antoni.
He took a sip back from the rest of his soda cans and recalled a few weeks ago when Mama Navysah was still depressed.
~Flashback On~
A little boy who was the same age as his sister was now silent - silently knocking on the door of his room.
" Login. "say it while continuing to color the animation on his computer.
" Mas Raffa, it's me ". He sat on the side of the bed and took off his school bag.
" What's wrong, you play here. "
He looked at the face of Kinan's younger brother, Khaffi Adam Shafiqri.
" I'm here with grandma, just returned to school straight here with aunt Navysah" he said,
"Mas.., mm. can you paint this". He took a picture of his family.
Raffa knitted his brows in surprise, he did not know what reason this little boy had told him to paint a picture of his family.
"Close the door of his room, do not forget to lock "his order to Khaffi.
He immediately closed the door and locked it as ordered.
" Wani piro (how dare)?" raffa said with a smile.
He immediately opened his school bag and took out his tube-shaped piggy bank. " This is all mine, please paint this picture for me."
Raffa just grinned, he deliberately wiggled Khaffi's tube piggy bank." Just a little content, the sound of the coin right" he listened to the sound of the clattering of coins in the piggy bank.
"Hehehe, last week I bought a book so my savings can only be a little" he said with a cry while scratching his head that does not itch.
"Khaffi, what do you really want to say, Speak up" he said, folding his arms over his chest.
"Mas, can you forgive my crybaby brother. "he asked, "I saw what happened when my sister Kinan kissed you at home. Please forgive my brother, he cries every day. He misses aunt Navysah but is afraid of you" he continued
" I will do anything to forgive my brother. Put the information, mba Kinan likes you. I don't want to see him grieve like that "he said," I can draw even if it's not as good as a mas, I can a computer. Why do I want to help you "he said confidently.
Raffa just smiled at the earnestness of Khaffi who defended his brother desperately in order to get an apology from him. " I've forgiven your brother, I'll have him come here" he said as he turned his chair toward the computer and continued his animation.
"Can I accept my brother's feelings?" he nodded with fear and lowered his head.
Raffa knitted his brows, turned back his chair and stared intently at Khaffi. "Whatchu mean? small children should not interfere with adult problems" he said,
" A man if he speaks must dare to look at his interlocutor. Keep your shoulders and your eyes."
Khaffi immediately raised his shoulders and his gaze. "Mas, you know that Mba Kinan is always here. It's like a second home to him, whereas I'm at home always lonely there's no him and our parents are always busy working. You know the dream of Kinan being a doctor".
And Raffa just nodded his head.
"But I don't know what her dreams are yet" she said, "She wants to be Navysah's aunt's daughter-in-law, I've heard it myself when she's grieving and mocking."
Raffa only gawked at the words of Khaffi, Where there is a girl who aspires to be his mother's daughter-in-law.Since Kinan always attracts the attention of Navysah's mother even he feels left out because Kinan always sticks with his mother. Obsession that crosses the line.
"I know this sounds strange, where there are such ideals but that's the reality. Mbak Kinan is weird, chatty, stupid and whiny. It sucks not" he exclaimed.
Raffa smiles back at Khaffi's remark about his brother's annoying nature.
"But he's still my brother, even if he's not my brother I still love him"
"Mas.., can you grant her dream to be a daughter-in-law of aunty Navysah, she loves a aunt like her own mother" she said fearfully, "How about we barter, I can do this" he pulled up Raffa's chair and went on to give the animation image a color effect.
He saw in detail every coloration that Khaffi gave, quite decent for a little boy his younger brother's age. Even this is neater than the usual coloring Khaffa made.
"I learned this a month ago, usually I just play the game "he said without looking at Raffa, he remained focused on giving color to the image.
"Well, can I barter with this. Our covenant" he asked, "Don't look at my underage self, look at my ability. I'm a man who won't break his promise" he said.
"He was indeed the son of Om Shafiq, never to retreat before war. His words could be trusted" he murmured inwardly. He began to think again, when his dreams and ideals were once extinct because the situation now began to terbesit desire back to reach it again. Kinan is also a good and innocent girl, Mama Navysah also honestly wants him to be his daughter-in-law, Not bad.
He thought back, everything can go smoothly if there is a Kinan in his house. Just focus on the lectures and Kinan can take care of his family. The things he could do as time went on. The most important thing is that he can achieve the dream he has always wanted."Two faculties I must pass for my dreams" he murmured inwardly
"Well, I'll try to grant your sister's dream of becoming a daughter-in-law in this house. But there's a condition?" abugn.
" What...?"
"You're a diligent school, learn IT and animation. Later I want to make a studio and when you grow up, you have to run a business with Khaffa. You willing?"
"I can do it, I like IT too. I will study hard, for the sake of Kinan I will do anything" he said. " Nobody will know about our promise"
"Good"
"Remember, men will never break a promise." They link their little fingers as a sign of covenant.
