Marriage Ends in Love.

Chapter 2 #Reason

November 25th, 2019

As usual at 5pm on Saturday my class was no evening class, and Mas Ardy invited me to enjoy Sunday night together, she invited me to her house just to chat with her parents usually Sunday night like this mbak Lena Her sister will be there along with her husband and children.

"So quiet" I asked Ardy

"Ga know, the tumben mas was from the office directly pick up adek on campus"

As usual if there is no one at home you will only chat in his house where it is usually used as a place for mothers selling Vegetables in the morning. Her mother Mas Ardi sells vegetables and makes cakes if there is an order. While he worked as security at a hotel not far from his home.

"Bathing first yes already we are looking for new rice fried mas payjian"

He said to me while entering the house.

Not long after he came out with a shirt and the smell of perfume as crazy as it was, I just shook my head and said

"Why are you saying it, Mas?"

Smiling at her teasing knot.

"She said her boyfriend hasn't had a bath"

He answered while grinning the horse for enduring the pain of my pinching.

15 Minutes later

"Nasi goreng pack ati 2 ya bang" mas Ardi ordered our favorite fried rice both in a favorite place.

"Dek mas want to say something, this concerns our relationship, arguably good news can be said bad news"

Say Ardi and make me slightly pull my eyebrows up. As if asking what news this sweet man will tell me. Almost 5 years we were with him was a sweet man in my opinion, he was always polite, never angry and always mature and independent even though it was irritable to talk.

"What news? don't tell me I'm getting married?"

Answer me with a smile and put my fried rice from earlier I was almost done with greed.

"Mas rose from the office but on condition that the mas have to move the duty deck for 2 years to the Palembang branch after that can reapply here if there is a branch here empty field coordinator position nya"

I was silent still thinking about what the words were and considering what would happen to our relationship if Ardi really moved the task.

"What do you think of the deck?"

Ask me about Ardi.

"Daddy same mother how mas? klo they agree I think this is an opportunity for a career mas. Opportunity doesn't come 2 times, mas,"

My answer must be while staring at his face a little sad maybe how many days he often overtime at the office.

"Father same mother is up to the same mas, but klo mas take this opportunity we become LDR loh deck."

He said while looking back at me while putting the last mouthful of fried rice on his plate.

"Mas today is already sophisticated there is already an android can video call, right? answer me.

"Alright klo so mas take yes this opportunity.possibly early in the year mas moved his duties"

"Mudah2an is the beginning of success mas ya."

My prayer while holding his hand. I know very well this Ardy mas is eager to be independent and economically established considering his mother and father are just ordinary people.

December 30th, 2019

Tonight I went to the house of Ardi mas because on the 2nd Ardi will leave for Palembang to his new place of duty. that's the company where mas Ardi does have a career level but should follow the rules where 2 years to the area that is not domiciled.

"Loh ma'am, where are you going with me?" mas Ardi asked his mother and father who seemed to be preparing to leave in a hurry.

"Mother and father want to go to your house mbak Lena, chat in the morning, do not have a nice night to see the neighbors ya Mas."

Answer and message mom to mas Ardi.

"Did Lena have another fight with her husband?"

Looks mas Ardi frowned and massaged her like dizzy

"Maybe there is a mas event, there GI bath I wait here aja, ga so help packing the goods yes mother same father message chat in the morning."

I said with a smile while looking at my phone.

Finished Ardi mas bath, rainy day heavy wind, and accompanied by lightning. Coincidentally the terrace of the Ardi mas house is only about 2 x 3 which makes rainwater enter the terrace. Mas Ardi took me into the living room because my seat began to splash rain water.

"Sir, can you ask for something?"

Ask Ardi to me while holding his tea glass.

"What do you ask?"

My answer to him is that now his sitting position has moved to my side.

"Nearly 5 years we're dating we've almost never been like people on his general courtship, his, can you ask for something in a moment, and you'll be on assignment in a new place and away from here maybe a new year can go home."

Speak at length which began to make me wonder what will be asked mas Ardi all Dating in general discussed.

"What is the origin of don't kiss and who leads there."

Investigate me while looking at him with slightly bulging eyes.

"Give me your kissing please, I just want to have memories and the spirit of mas to return to the deck. Five years we dated mas ga never demanded but tomorrow mas go far and long can not mas mas feel like a friend2 mas feel with his girlfriend?"

Ardi looked at me expectantly.

I took a deep breath. long enough I kept quiet while playing the tea glass in front of me. I still remember very well the message my mother had when I was going to college

"Ran., Mak knows you're no longer a child, Mak can't keep an eye on you 24 hours because you're here Mak in the village, but Mak just reminded her one-on-one treasure of us women is our honor and sanctity Ran.

So Mak e please keep it well klo not halal do not ever approach her. later the beginning is just hold-hold, after that later rise again to the kisses, it must be increased again. please take care of this Mak e mandate. we have self-esteem and honor then it is guarded lest you embarrass your mother and family in the village"

"Mas can't ask for another, I know from the beginning, even when I entered college mas already I tell Mak e's message to me wait until I finish college then we married klo mas want more than this"

I clasped Ardi's hand tightly. Indeed, as long as we are dating only limited to holding hands. Or on the bike I never hugged his waist like most young people, because I was well aware of the message of mother to keep the good name of the family.

Mas Ardi just kept quiet and did not return my hand.

"Let's wait for the end of next year mas end of next year I will try to finish my thesis and then we can go to the halal stage."

I said to Mas Ardi seeing him just staring blankly ahead

"Yes it's not what2 mas know your stance, pray easy mas2an no one teases mas there"

He said while glancing at me.

"Oh... So you have a plan there to find something else, right?? look out for Lo mas Lo prayer...."

I said while pinching her waist which made her grimace in pain

"Ouch ouch.. sick deck.... "

Mas Ardi grimaced in pain.

February 2020

I haven't been able to contact Ardi for a month and he hasn't contacted me.

I saw that the social worker was not active either. The WA story was never active.

Suddenly a new account added me to my Facebook friends. I saw her name Melinda Ardiansyah and I saw her profile picture with a guy I knew and disappeared this month yes it was mas Ardi and my friend in High School but different classes Melinda.

They were photographed on the bridge I saw there inscribed AMPERA Bridge . My heart was broken, my tears were flowing without me asking and I cried without a sound.

Instantly I went straight to the library which I think is currently a place that can be safe, for I covered up my grief without anyone knowing. because if my friends see my condition this way they will be curious.

All this time I never cried in front of my friends and I and Ardi did not ever fight. but this arrives2 I have to see a photo of Ardi mas who is so friendly with Melinda while I myself never was.

Satisfied how many days I've been crying over Ardi without being explained through a photo I know what happened why he did not reply to my chat why he did not contact me. This is the answer, and I remember the message of Ardi when going to take the bus to Palembang

"Dek, mas is actually disappointed with adek. just a kiss can not be given whether less sure klo mas is so loving you all this time. Almost 5 years we're dating but we're like there's no physical contact like teman2 mas"

He said while drinking the mineral water I gave him.

"Mas, I understand the feelings of mas. I want more than kissing. But can mas we just get married?"

Ask me.

"If married mas can not yet deck, the income of the mas is not fixed mas also already already take bank installments to buy a house, know for yourself mas from the first want to buy a house so when married already have a house, let's go to the bus counter already until mbak Lena already tell you."

He answered while moving from the sidewalk bench.

I understand now maybe I can't give her what she's asking for when she's leaving for her new job.
