Melati At The End of Hope
The heart of Nesa
Episode 28's
At that time Nesa and Chia chatted ;
"Chia! can you tell me something about you? Oya you do not call me mbak dong, we are the same age, continue to speak me you just let more familiar. If you use 'my' language it's like a very formal." Nesa.
"How much dong, what story do you want? okay, I'll call you Nesa." Chia replied giving her warm smile.
"So I'd like to say...!" Nesa was silent for a while, gathering the courage to tell Chia the most hurtful thing and her feelings.
"What?" Chia asked who was ready to listen to Nesa's complaint. The one who with the airy chest he received as a friend, although the unpleasant experience about Nesa Chia never experienced.
"Dio left me and also cut off his relationship with me. Although I knew my relationship with Dio was only one-handed, Dio did so only because of a demand from his uncle and aunt, as well as at the request of my parents. But accepting Dio's decision, even if it made sense, I still felt devastated. My heart has not been able to accept this fact Chia." Nesa said.
Nesa's tears poured down her cheeks, this time she no longer cared about her prestige. It really blew his grief in front of Chia.
Chia listened to Nesa's story carefully. As a fellow woman, Chia understood very well how Nesa felt. Chiapun held the hand of Nesa who was still crying, without saying a word.
Chia just stared pityfully and empathized with the poor woman.
Nesa hugs Chia and sniffles on Chia's shoulder. Chiapun returned Nesa's embrace and rubbed Nesa's back to calm her down.
After Nesa felt calmer and more relieved, she let go of her embrace of Chia. Chia gave a smile that signaled Nesa to stay strong in accepting this bitter reality.
"Sometimes, we have to feel pain first, to then get happiness as long as we are willing to be patient.
What we are happy with is not necessarily good in God's view and vice versa." Chia said she hoped Nesa would be more sincere and stop pursuing something that makes her more hurt.
Then Chia quotes one of the meanings of the verse in the holy book of the Quran.
"You may hate something, but it is good for you, and you may (also) like something, but it is bad for you; Allah knows, and you do not know.
(Al-Baqarah 2:216)."
Nesa's heart was touched to hear what Chia had to say.
"Never despair of God's grace and help. He has the best answers and solutions to every problem we face" Chia continued.
I don't know what miracle? but listening to what Chia had to say, made Nesa's heart much calmer.
"So tell you what should I do?" Nesa asked for advice from Chia.
"I don't have any solution to this." Chia replied which made Nesa look down frowning a sign of disappointment.
"But God has!" Chia continued again, and made Nesa raise her face to look at Chia.
"Give up all that we cannot reach, only to God. For all that is in God's grasp, it is impossible to escape." Chia's words are absolutely right. Nesa realized that she had been very far away.
"I don't mean to patronize you. But as a fellow woman, I understand how you feel, and I can only remind you, Because with God's permission we too end up being friends." Chia said, who worried that Nesa would be offended and felt patronized.
"No Chia, I don't feel patronized. I was just smiling and feeling cared for, everything you said was really Chia. I was too selfish to hold on to something I should have let go of, I ended up getting hurt by my own grip." Nesa smiled as she took a deep breath.
"Don't be sad anymore! if God breaks our hearts, maybe God is jealous of us because of what we do or because we remember too much of man than of God." Chia added while smiling to see Nesa who was now starting to accept.
"Thank you, Chia. If there wasn't you, I might have killed myself for not being able to carry out all this." Nesa said smiling.
Chia nodded her head and smiled.
"Udah ah nangis continued from earlier." Chia teases Nesa, and they laugh.
From the conversation it makes Nesa and Chia more familiar like friends who have long known.
"Laper's not crying?" Chia asked still in a soft tone.
"Hehe, yes, laper is also mostly crying." Nesa said with a small laugh.
"Let me guess, surely you haven't eaten since yesterday?" Chia mocked Nesa while pointing her index finger at Nesa, and raised an eyebrow twisting her eyes.
"Hahaha ah you ledekin I continue, but really I have not eaten." Answer Nesa.
"Well, what if we cook?" Chia megajak Nesa cooking.
With enthusiasm Nesapun agreed. They cook fried chicken, vegetable soup and sambal. Chia teaches Nesa who can't and has never cooked.
The activity made Nesa forget for a moment her heartache, occasionally Chia laughed at Nesa who was afraid of splashing hot oil when learning to fry chicken.
Really fun. It turns out that all this time Nesa was too fixated on pursuing Dio's love which was getting away. Until he forgets that there are other things that are also fun in this life.
The unnecessary things made Nesa's heart and heart crumble, scattered.
After cooking, Chia washes dirty utensils, while Nesa carries and arranges the food they have cooked on the table.
After that, Chia and Nesa ate both of their meals.
"Emm very good" said Nesa when tasting the food.
"Enak right? eat full to be happy". Said Chia who saw a happy expression on Nesa's face.
Without hesitation Nesa devoured her food quickly, Chia laughed amusedly at Nesa.
"Slowly you will choke" Chia said with a laugh.
"Hehe, it's so good." Nesa said as she continued to eat.
"Good food and hungry stomach condition, really clop" said Chia who was greeted with laughter by Nesa.
Eat it done they do.
"Alhamdulillah is full" said Chia while piling dirty dishes and she was about to put in the kitchen.
"Let me wash." Nesa said she was holding Chia.
"No need ah, the guests were told to wash the dishes "Said Chia forbid.
"Please, yes! you didn't tell me, but I wanted to learn" Nesa pleaded.
" Yes it's dech if you make it, so it's good I haha" Chia chirps.
It was a different day for Nesa. He was happy to know Chia who turned out to be the only person who would listen to Nesa's complaints at that time.
