Melati At The End of Hope

A decision

Episode 16's

An incoming message is on Chia's phone screen. Chia opened it, a message from an unknown number.

Between wanting to cry but also a new belief comes from Chia after opening the message.

The third day in the city, means that Chia must prepare to return to the village according to the time set by the father.

Wanting to be sad but Chia felt for what she was sad with something that she did not need to be sad, just the opposite should Chia be grateful for all this.

That night Dio was neatly prepared to meet Chia as he had promised at the cafe where they used to meet, as he was about to get into the car, Nesa came over and offered him a cup of coffee.

Nesa promised not to interfere with Dio's event tonight if Dio wanted to drink the coffee made by Nesa.

With all consideration Dio drank it, although initially there was little suspicion, considering what Nesa offered was enough to make Dio relieved by not going to interfere with Dio's event that night. What a mistake Dio thought.

coffee began to be gulped Dio, unexpectedly after a few gulps, Dio felt his head dizzy unbearably, finally he fell because he lost consciousness.

Apparently Nesa had mixed the coffee with something that made Dio lose consciousness.

With such a state of Dio, of course this was a favorable thing for Nesa because Dio could not possibly go with such a state of heavy drunkenness.

Nesa took Dio to his room, and it happened as it had done.

While Dio was fast asleep, Nesa had already arranged another plan, in addition to making Dio fail to meet Chia, Nesa took Dio's phone and searched Chia's number through Dio's message conversation.

After getting what was necessary and satisfied with his wild action against Dio, Nesa left Dio without clothes and just covered him.

The next day, Nesa sends a message to Chia that contains some portraits of her and Dio is making out.

Back to the situation at Chiara's boarding house.

Seen everything was ready, Chia then took a shower and immediately rushed to leave for her hometown.

In his room, Dio regained consciousness and felt his entire body ache and how surprised he was when he realized his body was without clothes.

He hissed irritably and held his head with both hands.he recalled the incident last night when Want to go and Nesa came to give him a cup of coffee.

Dio felt stupid for still believing the words of the crafty woman.

Now that Dio's guilt for Chia has peaked, even Dio has no hope anymore that Chia will forgive his mistake which is fairly fatal.

Chia on the way to her hometown, heard the ringing of her phone rang..Knowing the incoming call from Dio, Chia initially did not want to lift it, because it felt there was nothing more to explain.

But after a rethink Chiapun finally accepted it.

"Hello, Assalamu'alaykum" (Chia in a soft voice).

"Wa'alaykumsalam.emm Chia" (Dio with a nervous tone).

"Yes..why? (chia answered briefly).

"You came to the cafe last night?" (ask Dio).

"Considered you? gini yes Dio.I am not you who likes to break promises, so yes definitely I came.

I'm waiting for you until the cafe closes, and you know what's the saddest? it's not your absence there, but all eyes that look with pity on me." (Omel Chia without giving Dio a gap to talk).

"Okay one more, you don't have to call me anymore or explain anything else, I'm stupid enough to believe your bullshit" (chia continued).

"Chia love me the chance to see you one more time" Dio pleaded.

"No need to Dio..make what else? if only to apologize you don't have to tire of me. I'm sorry you're Dio, and I'm sincere even if you have to get out of my life." (strictly Chia).

"Wassalamu'alaykum."

Not even Dio had time to answer the greetings, Chia had already ended her call.

Dio was upset with himself, and realized that what Chia said was all natural and deserved.

Dio slammed his phone into bed.

A few minutes later, a message came in.

It turned out that from Chia, he felt relieved, but as soon as he opened up, his sense of relief changed into a more chaotic feeling than before.

Chia forwarded again all the messages from the unknown number to Dio, which turned out to be a message from Nesa.

Of course, Dio was surprised not to think Chia who knew the activities of himself and Nesa who was naked, all of it was very embarrassing.

Now Dio had completely lost hope of convincing Chia again.

After a few hours, Chiapun arrived at his house in the village, Father and mother greeted him with joy.

After sitting down to rest and eat, this time it is not the father who discusses his betrothal to the father's chosen man.

Chia told me that whatever and whoever the man she chose for her, Chia was ready to accept it with an open heart.

Hearing Chia's statement, it is now her father and mother's turn to be confused.

"Don't you mess with your words?" ask mom to make sure.

"According to mom, does Chia look playful?" Chia asked back.

"Alhamdulillah.at last I was relieved too" continued the father gratefully.

"Okay, when will Chia's husband-to-be come to propose?" chia's recoiling words made both father and mother shocked and laughed.

"His husband is already impatient for this father's son" joked the father.

"Two days they're coming here, son." replied Dad.

"Oh okay" said Chia briefly.

"If so Chia rest first in the room yeah yeah yeah, mom." Chia came to her room.

"Yes, my son, no mother's child can be tired" said the mother with a smile.

Chiapun rushed to his room.

"Oh well I feel like mom is like a dream yes" said the mother who still does not believe.

"Here you go, actually the father is still not expecting, the most important thing is that the father does not need meaning anymore" said the father with a happy laugh.

In Chia's room.

Yes, sit pensive...

"O Lord, if this is indeed a path to something that You are pleased with, give me a sincere heart and a spacious chest to accept Your provision in the course of my destiny." Chia said in her heart.

Chia was relieved that although she decided to leave Dio with her father's choice, Chia did not need to feel guilty for Dio with everything Dio had done to her.

Something bad must be let go, so that good may find its way.

Love should not make us stupid by continuing to maintain the ego, but it should know that something that continues to be forced will give birth to pains that may continue to create unnecessary wounds.
