LOVE WITHOUT SPACE
COMMUNICATION AND LOYALTY
“Ma, Pa,” says Ayya.
“In front of Mama and Papa I also talk. I don't want to be told later I only dare to talk behind Mama and Papa. I received Mas Mukti's words just now. I received this ring not as an engagement ring but as a gift from Mama to her son. After this maybe my relationship and Mas Mukti will change but we will not immediately go out and let alone fiancee. No Ma. I had to erode my trauma a little bit. If Mas Mukti would be patient in accepting me, helping me to recover my trauma, maybe I can start accepting him as my future partner. But if Mas Muktinya do not want to be patient, then please do Mas Mukti find a more appropriate for him. I can't promise anything Ma. But I promise I won't accept anyone else.” Ayya paused her long sentence. Mukti breathed a little quiet turns out he was not rejected instead asked to help Ayya eliminate her trauma.
“Don't Mas Mukti talk to Mama like this. There were four others who once said it would be serious about me. Two of them Mas Mukti already knew. One said the second meeting he had brought chocolate and a bouquet of flowers the other immediately said he wanted to bed him he had come to Badung to bed me Ma, Pa. But I refused because I was traumatized. Maybe if there is no such trauma, I have chosen them because they have already expressed love with me and the other two I do not need to tell you.” Mukti knows all the men who take her seriously because she observed her time at the cafe yesterday.
“Maybe as time goes on there will be many people who state like that. I hope and should be Mas Mukti can understand that. Supposedly at the age of Mas Mukti, Mas Mukti can reduce his emotions to be angry because what I often find Mas Mukti likes to be confused if I am approached by other men. He would instantly act unreasonable Ma. Once, Mas Mukti deliberately made me unable to accept guests. All day long I was busy working together because Ajun came to the studio,” Mukti smiled wryly considering how crafty he was back then.
“Truly immature, how do I want to make him my priest if his behavior is like that?”
“Mama don't understand how you are,” said Ambar.
“Yang Mama asked you both to grow up. The key to the household is only two: COMMUNICATION and LOYALTY.”
“From communication and loyalty later there will be trust, openness, holding back emotions and many things that will continue to follow the two main things.”
“Communication key is also what makes us one family becomes stronger because at that time we miscommunicate. Between Papa and Mas Sonny also with Mukti. Once communication is smooth, everything is open and we can unite against Eyang Menur also Vio.”
“So Mama asks from now on you both dampen your emotions and you both find time to talk in maturity. That's my advice for this morning before you leave for Bali.”
“True as your Mama said, the key is in communication. All this time Mama always muffled everything alone. My mother endured the pain alone. Mama, Papa doesn't know that what Menur said was a big lie. It was a mistake that we were both not open to communication. So we ask that mistakes be a lesson for both of you. Tell everyone, find a solution together. Do not get like we are almost divorced because of your presence and almost believe also because of his behavior eyang Menur.”
“Iya Pa's. I will learn for it,” Ayya said.
“I'm sorry I did Pa, because my presence is like gini,” said Mukti.
“You are not wrong. That is our destiny. And as Papa said, find a solution to your problem by talking. The key is just talk,” Abu said.
“Thanks ya Pa,” says Aya. They also went out of the room.
