Melati At The End of Hope

Dilemmas

Episode 14

Morning in the Village...

The wind that beats the rhythms of branches, leaves and trees.

tickling spoiled with a swab full of tenderness

accompanying the rome patters while sending vibrations on the lips that then create a smile.

Chia stared out the window of her room, enjoying the familiar atmosphere.

Impregnating the remains of the broken heart fragments, he closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

"O Lord, forgive me for making You jealous until You break this heart, forgive me who may neglect to remember Your name until this makes me fall down in prostration to beg and face You."

Chia pondered and tried to remember again. Perhaps he does remember too much of man than he remembers the Creator, his tears melted.

"Son let's have breakfast first, wait for the same father at the dining table" said the mother in front of the door of Chia's room.

"Yes, Ma'am, Chia's coming" Chia replied from inside her room.

Mother's father and Chia were gathered at one table again, a situation where their spoons and forks clashed together to create the rhythm of knocking on their plates.

"So how'd you try the cake?" ask dad on the sidelines of their meal.

"Alhamdulillah father, everything Chia can handle well, yes even though it takes a little extra energy, understand Chia has not been able to recruit employees to help Chia" Chia concluded with a smile.

"Daddy says mom, dad's son is great.hehehe" dad prides Chia on mom.

"Yes obviously dong sir, who was his mother" said the mother did not want to lose.

The warm-tempered gaduh was also present at the dining table.

finished eating now they sit in the guest room.

"Daddy is healthy, right? Chia asked.

"Have dong.see father can already sit with the father's son again" said the father while waving laughter.

Chiapun replied with a smile full of relief.

"Son.if you have a request you can" asked the father seriously.

"Hehe daddy-dad! yeah, well, what the hell is so serious?" ask Chia while joking.

"Chia's grown up, it's worth getting married. Dad wants you to marry a man of your choice." explained dad briefly.

Instantly Chia flinched.

"Serious dad?" chia said make sure.

"Oh yes dong.masa for my favorite son kok kidding." reply father again.

"But yeah, Chia's still....."

Dad cut the conversation

"There's no but-but again son, the father's decision is unanimous, the father has not calmed down before you marry the right man." asserted the father again.

Chia just silenced to turn her eyes to mother as if asking for a defense, but her mother only fell silent without refutation.

"Mom.." said Chia.

The atmosphere that had originally melted full of warmth was instantaneously quiet and a little stiff.

"Dad! already dong, give Chia time to think first. "Mom said to dad.

"let's have a week to get ready!" Father's decision is not negotiable.

Chia stared blankly, saying goodbye to her room.

it was as if I read mother's intentions.

"Have not to think, at first he was like that, later if married also healed" said father confident.

"Isn't it too fast? I'm worried about our son why." Said mother upset.

"Yes, it used to be so is the mother when the mother's parents chose the father as the mother's soul mate" Father chuckled softly hinting at the victory.

"Ahh this father, always so" Ketus mother while leaving father in the living room.

"Huh basic woman. At first it does not want, expensive selling, long time can not be far." Dad shook his head while holding back his laughter.

In Chia's room.

It felt like I wanted to cry, but her tears couldn't come out.

Sometimes he stared pushyly, looking at a watch and a bundle of prayer beads that he was going to give Dio.

His steps staggered him into a drawer where he kept a sweet memory that Dio gave him on his graduation day. Chia read the letter again, the dam of tears that had been welled up finally spilled, rushing to wet the piece of paper he held.

Chia squeezed the paper and threw it into the trash.

Chiara was raging full of questions, was it really an unjust life, or was he who was not ready to accept the situation. But amazingly, he could not be angry or hate his parents nor could he immediately erase his feelings for Dio even though Dio had disappointed him.

Chia is in a dilemma!

Chia laid her body on the bed, so she did not feel she began to sleep.

Chia's worried mother stuck her ear to Chia's bedroom door, trying to hear and find out what was going on in her son's room.

There was no sound in the room, Chia's mother slowly opened the door of Chia's room that was not locked and saw her son was asleep. Chia's mother closed Chia's room door and walked away.

In a distant place in the city, Dio waited for news from Chia, and wondered why Chia had not informed her, but when saying goodbye to return to the village, Dio had asked Chia to renew it.

A woman who was none other than Nesa suddenly sat on Dio's lap and teased him, he poked his hands to Dio's neck and kissed Dio's forehead, cheeks and neck.

Dio got carried away but soon Dio immediately regained his senses and shook his hands and pushed Nesa's body.

Nesa, who was shocked by Dio's attitude, was upset.

"Why are you, baby?" nesa asked with an annoyed face.

"Why are you? what do you want huh?..." Dio turned the question around.

Nesapun open to hear Dio's question.

"You still ask me what? yes, obviously I want you to dong dear." replied Nesa while buttoning the shirt over Dio that was open.

"You can avoid me, but I have a thousand ways to always be close to you. And remember! I have video evidence of our dear"., Nesa threatened while leaving Dio.

"Ahh.dasar crazy woman." Shouted Dio while ruffling his hair.

Dio clenched both of his hands, and smashed against the wall until his fingers were injured and bleeding.

Poking his forehead against the wall, Dio remembered his promise to Chia.

Dio's tears were no longer strong....

"I'm sorry my daughter's master.

In addition to the situation, there was Jamal who was sitting and smiling while showing his eyes on a photo.

It looks like a portrait of a girl who is enthusiastically practicing martial arts there.

Yes, it was a portrait of Chiara, the woman who was secretly able to conquer Jamal's heart.

"In a path of destiny I don't know, may you be there." Jamal said in his heart.
