Married to a Prospective-in-Law

Platitude

The ringing from the phone woke me this morning. With a lazy movement I grabbed the phone but still with my eyes closed. I just stuck it in my ear after sliding the green button using my instincts.

"Assalamualaikum Ra" that voice I first heard.

I was stunned for a while when I heard the voice of the man who accompanied me for some time recently.

Immediately a smile appeared on my face with eyes still closed.

"Hallo Ra, you heard my voice"

But the voice greeted me again and I soon realized from my mind that was not fully aware.

What is wrong with me, I can forget what happened a few days ago.

Immediately I turn off the phone and wake up.

I saw the clock perched in my room already showing six o'clock a little less.

Astaghfirullah fortunately I was coming monthly guests, otherwise I would be late to fulfill my obligations earlier.

I breathed a very cool morning air after arriving at the school where I shared this knowledge. It feels so fresh and comfortable.

But the comfort did not last long because there was a voice reprimanding me.

"Bec...

"You can't bother me" I said turning lazy eyeballs as a form of diversion.

Yes a diversion simply because this heart is still pounding when it sees and is adjacent to him.

"Why did my phone call turn off Ra?" Ask Mas Hara again without caring about my words.

"What else do I need to hear. Will it be after I hear all the explanations that you will be able to change what has happened?. Aren't. Whether after I hear your explanation this pain in the heart will heal. Aren't. The answer is no" my speech is able to make mas Hara silenced and able to stifle this heart again.

As much as I can endure this sadness, but when it's ahead I become fragile helpless.

"I beg you while I can still speak and speak well please listen to me. Please help me to get out of this heartache by not contacting me and never intentionally appearing before me. Please help me with that. Think of it as a form of your help to me as a form of separation from our relationship" I said and there was no response from him.

Mas Hara just kept quiet but looked at me very deeply. Immediately walked towards my room while enduring the tightness that so squeezed in this chest.

That's how I did today with all my might trying to look good in front of my students.

I came home with a body that felt very tired, maybe also because of the burden of the heart that adds to this fatigue.

But my fatigue grew by seeing a car parked in front of the house and I knew very well whose car this was.

I immediately stepped foot and when passing through the living room my ears were greeted with chatter

"that's how fate nak Hara, we don't know and can't choose. Yes destiny is destiny and we can not miss" the words of the father who was shown to Mas Hara.

But the words also seemed to awaken me, but pain still dominated this heart.

"Rara is so, don't worry as time goes by she will be able to make peace with the situation. It looks like he is hard with a high ego but in fact he is so fragile especially when disappointed." said the mother who is embraced by the father.

"We hope that Hara will take responsibility. And Rara's problem she'll get better with time. So do not take heart "this time the mother who nodded her head sign agreed with the words of the father.

"Thank you to all and all this time about Auntie.I feel accepted in this family without conditional. And I am also very grateful to have known you guys even though there will be no family ties between us." said Hara bowed down unable to hide her sadness and sense of completion.

"we're going to be a family, son. You can still play here whenever you have time. But for a while wait until Rara's pain is completely healed because after all we have to keep his feelings" said the wise father and able to calm everyone who heard him.

"Bec....
