145. Terms

One month later.

Bella was stunned when the Typhoon handed over several sheets of paper that read the requirements to be the wife of the police. Bella looked at the Typhoon in disbelief.

"This much?" Ask Bella.

The cyclone nodded and smiled at Bella.

Bella again read the terms printed on some sheets of paper in her hand.

"SKCK future wife and parents?" Bella looked back at the Typhoon in disbelief.

"What about daddy?" Bella is starting to look desperate.

The typhoon took a deep breath and sat down beside Bella.

"We're facing whatever it is. What matters is that we try first. I don't think it matters what the background of the bride's parents is. Most importantly, the future wife has a good record and good psychological. I believe you baby" Typhoon rubbed Bella's head gently.

"But, will it become a hindrance?" Bella looks worried.

"It must be a question, it's just that we have to try to convince you that you deserve to be my companion."

"What if it doesn't escape?" Ask Bella again.

The cyclone looked at Bella closely. Then, he lowered his gaze.

"What if you don't get away with it?" Bella repeated her question.

The typhoon let out a long sigh and looked back at Bella.

"I'm sure I escaped, so I asked for your cooperation to present the best, baby." The cyclone tried to convince Bella.

"What I'm asking is, if it doesn't get away with it," Bella insisted that Typhoon answer her questions.

"If we don't get away, we'll just marry siri. No need to record. I just want you, I don't want any other woman. I don't care, I don't mind how we get married. Importantly, we're trying first with the official line."

Bella returned the Typhoon's gaze with a puddle of tears in her eyes.

"You love me the same as me?" Bella asked with a smile on her thin lips.

"What to ask?"

"It has to be, '" Chirps Bella.

Typhoon smiled and gently rubbed Bella's cheeks.

"Great love. You are my life, my future, my first and last love. I love you more than anything after God and my parents. I cherish you as a woman all this time, it's proof that I love you so much. I don't want to ruin you. I've always wanted to protect you, it's a form of love that I can't tell you about" Typhoon explained.

Bella smiled, tears dripping down her cheeks.

"So fight my future wife. Present the best. I'll help you fight. Later, after submitting all the files, there will be a test for prospective wives. I hope you are ready for everything. Then, after the test, there will be a BP4R trial to decide whether we can get married or not." Bright Typhoon.

"Tests? What tests?" Ask Bella.

"Psychotes Tests, Interviews, and Health Tests. All of that is done to know the nature or character of the future wife."

"Hmmm, is there a virginity test?" Ask Bella again.

Typhoon looked at Bella, then he looked awkward with Bella's question.

"Jawab dong" said Bella who looked impatient.

"He said so" said Typhoon.

Bella remained silent.

"Indeed why? What's..."

"No! I'm still a virgin!" Bella cut the conversation.

The cyclone breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he smiled and shook his head.

"Why? You doubt it?" Ask Bella.

"Bu-bu-not that..."

"I'm really still a virgin, I'm not afraid to do those tests. You will also prove yourself later if we are married" Bella said.

The cyclone swallowed his saliva and cast his gaze far beyond the gates of Bella's house.

"Kok quiet?"

"Yes..." Bella grabs the Typhoon's face to look at her.

"What darling..."

"Bukaaaann... I believe in you very much. It's just that your language says I can prove it myself, which makes me a little embarrassed,"

Bella was silent to the explanation of the Typhoon. Slowly he removed his hands from the Typhoon's face and began to hide his red-hued cheeks.

"I'm still a virgin, anyway,"

"Here believe my dear..." Typhoon laughed amusedly and peeked at Bella's forehead.

"Yes, let's face it together. If indeed the status of the daddy becomes an obstacle, I will prove it during the feasibility test," Bella said with a look full of enthusiasm.

"That's my new future wife." Typhoon smiling.

...

A month later, Berta remained silent in his room. He only went out of the room when he was going to visit Pongki. Later, he found out that Pongki would be transferred to Nusa Kambangan public relations institute. Which means, Berta will be even more difficult to visit Pongki. In addition to distance, guard and transportation, Berta also thought about the fate of Pongki in Nusa Kambangan.

"Oh God..." He complained while rubbing his face with both palms.

Then, Berta grabbed a photo of Pongki from the nightstand next to his bed.

"Darling, hope you're okay. Tomorrow I will meet you, before you are transferred to Nusakambangan." Her muttering.

Worry, despair and longing are united in Berta's heart. Disputed or not, Berta really felt disappointed by Pongki's choice. Although Berta was finally able to understand the purpose of Pongki's decision to accept the law for himself.

It's true, maybe getting a life sentence would be futile for Pongki. It will only make Pongki and Berta more tormented. Only, the death penalty made Berta in shock. Because after all, he will lose Pongki forever.

Losing Pongki was the scariest thing for Berta. Because they once promised, when not to leave one with his other. Although death is sure to come, Berta only wants to be the one who first leaves, because he cannot feel lonely and lost in longing, if Pongki precedes him.

"I want me to die first" Berta said as he slept beside Pongki, while Pongki was still by his side.

"Why is that?" Ask Pongki.

"I can't stand it if you go ahead of me first. I was so scared when I wasn't going through the day. Let me go first, yeah..." Berta smiled with a face that looked very pleading.

"But death is God's secret. It could have been me first" Pongki said.

"I ask the Lord if I go first, and you are given long life. Are we dead together?"

"Ngawur ah," Chirped Pongki with a small laugh.

"Don't you know, baby, I don't want to ah when I get old, I'll keep missing the people I love. I'll definitely be frustrated and will stay at your grave."

"Husttt. Death will come at any time. We just prepare ourselves. Even with those left behind, must be mentally prepared and believe in God's plan" Pongki said.

Berta fell silent, and looked at Pongki intently.

"I just want to go first. Don't leave me. I don't want to,"

Pongki smiled, then he grabbed Berta's body into his arms.

"I can't promise if it's dealing with death. But as long as I live, I will never leave you. I swear, I'll ban my attitude when that happens. I love you so much. You're my star, baby how could I leave you. But if we die, we cannot control it. I can't even stand it if you go first. Sometimes, I think it's better that I die first."

"Why is that?" Ask Berta.

"The reason is the same as you. I wouldn't be able to live without you. Although I live, but I will feel dead" Pongki said.

Berta looked at Pongki's face, and then gently rubbed Pongki's cheek.

"May God plan the most beautiful for our old age dear,"

"Aamiin" Pongki said.

..

"Lord, it turns out that your plan is that I'm separated like this from Pongki, and it turns out that he's the one who's going to get ahead of me."

"Lord, can I just go first with the dead? I'm not strong... Why did you choose a path like this for me?" Inner Berta again.

..

God does not listen to what he asks of his servant. Only, God knows which is best for his servant.

But is the bad story God planned for us? Wh why?

God never plans the worst. It's just greed, negligence, lust, and so on that exist in human nature that causes bad things themselves.

For example, Pongki had been reprimanded, and he had run away from problems, until he met Anna. If only then he immediately stopped, it was possible that his old age plan with Berta would be realized like their dreams.

The problem is the greed of the man himself. Be it material problems, lust, love, and anything that is too glorified, will have a bad effect in the future.

Does God not remind us many times?
