Love Vania

Won't force you

Vania remained silent with her own thoughts. He is unable to speak anymore. Any rejection would never be accepted by his father this time. He just had to follow his father's words and then refuse the match.

Papa Firman moved from his seat and entered the house followed by his wife. They walked to the room to rest.

Vania and her sister are still in the gazebo. They shut each other up. Adit continued to watch his sister who was still lowered.

"deck.." call Adit to touch his sister's shoulder.

Vania looked over without answering. His eyes look so deep. It was as if anger and sadness were fused there.

"don't know what you're thinking". Adit felt sorry to see his sister. "if you don't like it, then just say you don't want to" he continued

"why should it be like this sister, hiks.hiks.." cried Vania broke in front of her brother.

"just cry, don't be held back" Adit said embracing his sister

"why should people that Vania does not know" Vania still continues to sob.

"The father confessed all this because papa is sure what is best for his children, but instead of papa saying will not force you. Most importantly, just follow what your heart says"

Vania broke away from her brother's embrace. He looked his head up into his brother's eyes.

"but brother, all this time I've always asked papa. And just this time papa asked me something. Should I reject it? I don't want to be selfish"

"no selfish words, you will live it. You have the right to decide your life. Brother will support whatever it is as long as it's good for you"

"do you know Oom Satria's son?"

Devan nodded, saying, "I never met him once during a big meeting"

"that's it, don't think about it. Now let's go in and rest, it's night.. The night wind is not good for you" asked Adit holding his sister's hand.

Arriving in the room, Vania could not sleep because she thought about her father's words. Even the more his eyes were forced to shut, the more it made him sleep.

Until dawn, Vania's eyes were still awake. He went to the bathroom to clean himself up and prepare for the morning prayers.

Vania prepares to leave for college because of the morning lecture. Previously he had breakfast with his mother because Adit and his father had to leave very early to attend meetings outside the city.

"kog's so limp, baby, are you sick?" mama asked Karin when she saw her daughter just stirring the fried rice on her plate.

Vania just shook her head while continuing to play the spoons and forks without answering her mother's question.

"keep why? because of papa's words last night?" mama asked Karin to remove the spoon and fork and put it on the plate.

Vania fell silent. His mother could tell what he had in mind.

"honey... Papa must have a certain purpose behind all this. Papa just wants you not to get too late in your grief. You're not forced to accept it either"

"but ma...."

"but what? we will not impose a will that you do not like" said mama Karin cut off her daughter's talk.

"it's been spent hunting, you'll be late" he continued

Vania finished off the fried rice that was on her plate. After that say goodbye to his mother to go to college.

Vania chose an online taxi to get to the campus. In the taxi, Vania just daydreamed in her own mind until it did not feel the taxi she was riding had reached her destination.

"take it" said the taxi driver disperse the passengers' daydream.

"i'm sorry sir" Vania said in surprise.

"Hi Van.." shouted a man from behind while half-running.

Vania looked back because she felt a voice calling out to her.

"eh you're Leo, what's wrong?" ask Vania as Leo gets closer.

"later home from college there's an event?" he asked with breath gasping for running

"no, why?

"what if you just do the job after college?"

"whatever it is, I'm following you"

"want together?"

"don't thank you, I'm with Nadya" said Vania politely.

"oo.ok"

They walk to class. The atmosphere of the campus corridor at that time was not so crowded because most of the day the classes started at noon.

After college Vania, Nadya, Leo, Arya, and Nisha set off for a nearby cafe to do group work.

Arriving at the cafe they discussed with each other and shared their opinions about the work of the paper to be done.

Tanoa Vania realized, Leo who sat opposite her often stole a glance at her. To make Leo often not focused when asked by other friends.

Nadya who saw the reverberation of Leo felt

distrustful. However, he brushed it off and tried to think positively maybe Leo liked Vania.

Their job is almost done. Shortly thereafter Nadya's phone rang. There's the name of Ms. Nia on the screen of her phone is contacting her. Nadya quickly answered the call and slightly moved away from her friends.

"who's Nad from,?" Vania asked after Nadya returned to her seat with a cell phone in her hand.

"Mbak Nia, I was asked to come to the boutique because it was so crowded"

"yes you have left already, this is also almost finished just text chat" said Vania while pointing at the type on the laptop in front of her that was open.

"continue how you will go home"

"there's going to be an online taxi"

"let my Vania be anther" Leo said, making everyone on the bench look at him

"sure?" ask Nadya

"surely so..."

"your house is opposite"

"nothing but I'm not in a hurry"

"but.." Vani hadn't finished talking, Leo had already cut out his words.

"already, once this is doang, do not refuse ya" Leo asked

With a heavy heart Vania nodded her head. He was forced to accept Leo's invitation for fear of hurting his heart and there was no other reason to refuse.
