LOVE WITHOUT SPACE
PROSPECTIVE SISTER-IN-LAW
From SEDAYU ~ JOGJAKARTA, YANKTIE congratulates reading this simple story.
"What's wrong?" whispered Abu to Mukti who followed him from behind.
"I don't want to make a fuss. I don't want to ruin Mas Sonny's marriage."
"But there's something very important that I have to say. I don't know how to say it. Papa believed in me once. I don't agree with that woman being Mas Sonny's wife." Mukti whispered too. They're still in front of the toilet.
"Why indeed?"
"He's not as innocent as Mas Sonny knows Pa."
"I could have sworn he wasn't that stupid. But I don't have any proof for Papa. He's not innocent Pa, he's aborted another man's son." Without waiting for Abu's reaction, Mukti immediately returned to the front again.
Mukti did not mention that the man was himself. Because after all in the meantime Vio's position is his sister-in-law's candidate.
Abu was confused by Mukti's words. Of course he doesn't want Sonny to get a bad girl like that.
Abu didn't want to make a wrong decision. If the woman Sonny's choice now is not a good woman, what will be her grandchildren.
\*\*\*
Sonny and Ambar see Mukti back first than Abu.
"Well to shorten the time I start. My intention here is to propose to your daughter. I'd like to propose to your daughter to be the fiance of my son."
Abu gets a kick out of Sonny's elbow.
"Cock Pa's fiancee? Get married" said Sonny.
"I don't want to be twisted."
"Patience, Papa can't love you to marry now." Abu answered Sonny's whisper also with a whisper. They are sitting side by side. Sonny flanked both of his parents.
'*Surely something made Abu's mas change as it is now*,' Ambar thought, Ambar attributed the change of Abu's plan to Mukti's suspicious behavior.
Ambar can judge that and he knows who Mukti is to Abu. Therefore when Abu talks like that Ambar can immediately judge that something is not right.
But Ambar was silent.
Menur was shocked at the change of plans that he knew Abu was going to propose and next month at most two months his grandson was getting married.
"Why did Abu change his plans? Should they be married next month or two months?" menur protests against Angga even if only whispered.
"Let the Ashes and the children set their own pace. We must not interfere" whispered Angga to his wife.
Finally the simple engagement was completed after lunch together.
\*\*\*
'*Tante why is it like gini*?' Violine Ayaka or Vio sent a message to Menur and Imelda.
'*What's wrong? Auntie is not there. Aunty did not intentionally come*, ' wrote Imelda.
'*Mukti came to my application*,' Vio wrote in reply to Imelda's question.
'*What's wrong with Mukti*?' imelda asked confused she did not know about Mukti and Vio.
'*Later easy to set up*,' Reply Menur.
'*Can I have Mukti's mobile number? I want to talk before he changes plans or even cancels these plans*, ' Pinta Vio.
'*It turns out that Mukti is Sonny's sister, why didn't Aunt tell you from the beginning that our target is Mukti*?'
'*You don't think who Mukti is and who Sonny is. Everything will be according to plan. You just do your job without much complaint*.' said Menur
Mukti number entered from Menur or from Imelda.
\*\*\*
'*I want us to meet before you return to Bali*.' Mukti reads a message from a new number with his PP face Vio.
'*Sorry, tonight we have left Kediri back to Surabaya and then to Bali*, ' Mukti replied at that time they were indeed on their way to Surabaya.
'*Cannot. If you want to meet me in Surabaya tomorrow morning. I have about 2 hours*.' replied Mukti.
'*To me to Surabaya*,' Mukti read the answer from Vio.
\*\*\*
The Abu family arrived at their home in Surabaya. They planned to rest one night in the house. Not at the house of Angga. Tomorrow night they will return to Bali.
Tomorrow morning Sonny immediately returned to Jogja because he had to go back to work, he did not come back to Bali.
Tomorrow who return to Bali is Aksa and Mukti and his parents.
\*\*\*
Mukti daydreams to remember the figure of Vio who he just met after seven years apart.
The figure of the woman he loved so much but stabbed deeply. Love and hate are without space.
People say love and hate are only separated by a thread that is very thin.
Mukti said WITHOUT SPACE.
Since childhood, Mukti did not like the face of the Caucasian girl he had been used to meeting in Bali.
Mukti likes the original Javanese or Balinese type. Mukti considers their type to be classic and exotic.
Mukti remembers when she was in second grade High School she saw her underclassman Vio. The innocent classic Javanese face immediately stripped his heart to an irregular beat when he looked at Vio.
With a lot of sense and a lot of money to treat friends who facilitate the process of his pedekate Mukti can get acquainted with the girl of his dreams.
Vio goes with his aunt in Bali. They live both. Her aunt works at a market bank, while her parents where Mukti can never find out because Vio is closed.
When many girls chase Mukti because of his good looks and wealth, Vio does not care. Mukti's trouble approaching Vio.
Mukti remembers that when Pricilla, now his best friend's wife, also liked him. Darling Mukti doesn't like the outside product.
And the beginning of the tragedy when SMA again crossed the mind of Mukti who could not sleep even though his body was tired.
At that time Mukti had just picked up a bicycle pump for a bicycle belonging to Aksa's youngest sister.
Mukti accidentally sees Vio's friend running away while talking: '*How can Vio be like that? We should how*?'
Hearing the name of Vio called Mukti approached the house that had just been left by Vio's friends with a frightened mimic. Mukti saw the front door open.
For the sake of courtesy, Mukti knocks and says hello even though the door is not closed but there is no guarantee.
Mukti comes in and sees Vio is *tired* alone.
Mukti sees Vio trying to satisfy himself. Because of pity, Mukti hugs Vio with the intention of helping him drive the girl home.
But whether it's a disaster or a blessing for Mukti. Vio was even fiercely attacking him.
Mukti who is still second class High School and still innocent, got Vio's attack like that little whiz of course woke up struggling to be released.
So it happened that things should only be done by married couples, not by first and second grade children in High School.
Mukti, which at that time was already innocent, could finally release twice because when it was just one time, Vio had not felt complete.
When all is done they both immediately leave who's house because they both do not know the owner of the house.
There are no words spoken because they have not been dating and love each other. Only Mukti really likes Vio.
Mukti immediately brought the bicycle pump and returned home, not to go home with Vio.
Since then Mukti has claimed his Vio. Mukti forbids Vio from being friends with other men.
The next incident occurred when Mukti went to Vio's house two weeks after the incident. Mukti comes to Vio's house early in the morning when her aunt goes to work.
That was when they consciously did the forbidden thing back.
Eventually they do it more and more often. It's not just Mukti who wants to. Sometimes Vio asks first. It was like a routine for them.
