Baffled

 Now I'm at Iqbal and Rara's engagement hall. I saw Rara looking happy wearing a white dress. I'm here with Bang Rehan. Brother Diego seems busy, it's been three days he hasn't notified me, nor has he returned my message.

The event began very lively, with hundreds of invited guests, also with a very magnificent room decor, and now, the time came, the men who gave a welcome. While enjoying the event, I saw a man walking out of the room. A man I suspect is the same man, who was at the scene, shortly after Diego's sister had an accident.

I walked after the man, errat, I now go in the direction that I think the man had gone. Looks like he's here to see someone. No way, he had intentionally come to the middle of this event. Especially by wearing all black clothes, as well as head coverings. So, it's hard for me to see his face.

Accidentally, I saw Brother Diego coming out of the room. What's Brother Diego doing here? What he is, hey, that's impossible. Iqbal's arrival surprised me, almost caught me trying to follow Brother Diego.

“Lin, why are you here?." asked Iqbal to surprise me.

“Oh, i-, I want to go to the toilet, but the wrong way, you yourself, what's here?.” I said lying, as well as diverting the conversation. Iqbal looked at me, maybe it sounded a little unreasonable. Because the toilet seat was clearly passed when I came here.

“I'm from the toilet, there's the toilet if you don't know,” he explained, I replied to him smiling, and pretended to go to the toilet to make Iqbal unsuspecting. After making sure Iqbal left, I just came out of my hiding place.

When I was about to rejoin, I saw Brother Diego sitting with a woman, Wasn't that woman on the field at the time? If I'm not mistaken, I remember Marshanda. They seem very familiar, anyone who sees them, will definitely think they have a special relationship. I wanted to, get close to them but I was worried I was wrong.

Bang Rehan walked up to me, and I panicked. I tried to distract him from looking at Brother Diego, because it would be a problem later. I pretended not to see my phone and asked her to help me find it.

“Bang, my phone does not exist. Probably missed the time on the spell, cariin,” I said in a slightly spoiled tone. Hearing that, Bang Rehan could only raise his hand and surrender. No matter what Bang Rehan, he could at least refuse my request.

After Bang Rehan's departure, I still saw that Diego was busy chatting with the woman, I picked up my phone, and tried to contact Diego. For a moment, he stared at his phone but after that it was left just like that.

I passed away, re-joined in the middle of the event. I'm very upset with Diego. Just imagine, he didn't call me, but he was with another woman. My eyes unintentionally looked towards Rara, it seemed like she was crying and also holding back anger. Instantly, the entire room seemed chaotic. I was made to not understand this. How not, the event that I left for a moment is still with a lively atmosphere now compared to the other way around.

The guests were busy watching what was going on? What's the matter? The feeling that I just left, when I returned everything seemed like this, why did Rara cry in the middle of her happy event!? Why did Rara's parents seem so angry? My curiosity is so high.

“i'm sorry, and sorry. Because I can't continue this. I also did not expect something like this to happen,” said Iqbal opened the conversation.

Rara ran out from the middle of the event, with tears in her eyes. Followed by both parents. Whahuh? Iqbal called off the engagement!?, but why? I'm so confused by the things that's been going on lately.

Iqbal's father looked very angry and looked very embarrassed, he left. Leaving Iqbal and his mother. The mother was also very surprised, but the difference was, she apologized to the invited guests, also trying to understand the situation of her son. Some officers, however, asked some reporters not to cover. If they remain coercive, then they will personally sue.

The invited guests also left the event, some are upset because they have wasted time with the event.There are also ordinary, erratous, meaning not to show irritation to the family. Because they know that they are only small business people compared to Iqbal's father.

Now, Iqbal's mother who spoke after being silent for a while. The wife of a famous businessman in Jakarta was trying to talk to his son. She is also the daughter of a wealthy family. He also has many colleagues. She is a strict mother who also has great respect for her husband.

I'm still standing there, looking for Bang Rehan. Which I have not seen since.

“Mother, Iqbal have someone else, sorry Iqbal,” Iqbal said suddenly. I'm still standing there myself. For some reason, finding Bang Rehan wasn't the only reason I stayed.

“We go home first, Your father is waiting at home.” said the mother. While Iqbal saw her breathing heavily.

***

My engagement to Rapun was cancelled like I promised. I'm gonna get engaged to her, but not really do it. I saw Rara looking very angry, she was crying too. Rara passed away without saying anything, Mama and Papa were the same.

“Iqbal knows, Dad must be angry, Mother!."

“We go home first,” said Mommy.

“Does Mommy really like Daddy?.” I tease Mommy.

“What are you talking about!.” said Mommy indifferently, as if not like the question I am asking. We got home and immediately walked into the house. Sure enough, I saw Dad standing with his furrow. I know, you feel so ashamed and so angry about what happened today. I abruptly canceled my engagement and Rara in front of all the invited guests, including one attended by Dad's business colleagues.

“Iqbal here you are, do you know what you are doing?, you humiliated Dad in front of our business colleagues,” said Father snapped.

“Iqbal apologizes, Well, but Iqbal does not like this engagement,”

“But you agreed to this yourself, and willingly accelerated your engagement with Rara, and now you're acting like you're being forced.”

“Iya, iqbal intentionally, this punishment for Rara.”

“What Rara has done, until you do this, you're no better than Diego!" said Father, shouting.

“Stop comparing my son to your son,” said Mommy no less snapping. I went into the room, I heard my father scolding me. I don't even care about the commotion outside. Yeah, I mentioned Diego. He's my stepbrother, we have the same father but different mother, he hasn't lived with us since we lived here. He did not have a good relationship with us either.

“Basic, abnormal child, double personality,” umpat daddy keeps cursing.

Yeah, I know, they always call me abnormal, and double-personal. When my heart is not good. I think it was Diego, he said it. My father never took my side either. We stayed together just because I was Mother's son.

I don't know why Diego did it, when I didn't do anything, I hear, they say don't let me get angry. While I don't understand at all. Diego hates me, very much. Rara knew him too. Diego came into my life, became Bang Rehan's best friend, also approached Evlyn, only to destroy me.

I know, he didn't really do it because he liked Evlyn. While in the park, he deliberately followed us, and reacted as if he was injured. I just kept quiet, I know I didn't tell Evlyn. I don't know, how he got Lin interested and considered her as sincere. I know everything from Mother.

                               

Dad was still screaming in the family room, with the mother beside him who was always patient to hear it. The relationship between father and mother is just a business.

“See what your son did, he will cancel all major investments in the company,” said Dad still yelling.

“You will make my son's life a business relationship, stop. You do it for yourself, since when do you care about him, I don't care that much if they get angry.”

“What do you know? You're just a housewife.”

“I am her mother, I gave birth to her!."

“Already I don't want to know, take your son to a psychiatrist.”

“You think your son is sick, now?.” snapped Mommy accompanied by laughter. Dad went out driving his car.

Our family relationship is not okay, other people don't know it. We seem like a happy family in front of everyone. Though in fact, Father and Mother had given up her marriage but survived because of fear that the company's reputation was affected.

“How? You already know, who, the girl?.” asked someone known is Rani.

“Yes, Mistress, it's Evlyn. According to the confessions of his schoolmates, he had a relationship with Iqbal, but somehow, now he is close to Diego. She was also once a friend of Rara.”

“Then, so you mean, now they're not close?!."

“That's right, it's because, Rara stayed away, and suddenly got engaged to Iqbal.”

“What do you think is going on?."

“I am very sorry to have to say this, this has something to do with Diego, he deliberately approached the girl, to drop Iqbal, also Iqbal really liked the girl.”

“So, what's your suggestion?."

“We make them back.”

“Alright, I'll think, you can go.”

“Good, Mistress.”

“One more, Mistress.”

“What, say, what do you want to say?."

“It looks like Iqbal hired someone to injure Diego,”

“What, what--, you mean?."

“Yes, that's what I managed to investigate, I'm worried, the girl is also Diego looking for who is the culprit behind the accident.”

“Good, please arrange my meeting with the girl.You too, please sort this out, do not leave a trace.”

“Good, Mistress, I'm sorry.”

“Bang Reyhan, I'll be home late. Pick up yes!.” I said while still at the gate.

“Ok, stay connected, “lord princess” I'm truant now!."

A guy came up to me, and it scared me a little, because the school was already deserted. The entrance hours have already begun, and I am late. But I gave myself up and kept thinking positively, that the man was not a bad person.

“Are you Miss, Evlyn?.” asked the man.

“Iya, who are you?."

“Someone wants to meet with, you. Come with me!."

“Tapi—,” my word is truncated.

“Quiet, I am not a villain,” I trust with the guy, and follow him from behind. I got in the car after the guy opened it for me.

“Sorry, who will we meet?."

“A minute we arrive,” he said, and we stop right at a cafe, which is not far from the school. I was introduced to a beautiful woman. I seem to have seen it before, but I forgot, he smiled when he saw me coming. The man said goodbye after delivering me.

“Please sit down,” the woman said.

“You don't know me?.” asked me. I'm shaking. Because I don't remember where I met him.

“Oh yes, you certainly don't know me. This is the first time we met,” he said kindly with a smile.

“I'm sorry, I stole your time! Me, I heard you were close to Diego?.” he said.

“I need your help!.” he said now turned serious.

“About what?.” manyu make sure.

At 08:00 I went back to school. I feel like I'm no stranger to that woman, but who? I think I've met him. Wait a minute, isn't she the woman at the party? That means she's Iqbal's mother, but why, she asked me to stop trying to figure out who was behind her accident, Diego. Why, he said it was dangerous. Could it be that he knew who did it?, but wanted to cover it up. Ah, but that's impossible.

What confused me the most, was when he said, Brother Diego and Iqbal are half-siblings. They have the same father, but with different mothers. Since childhood they were not close. Since they lived there, Diego decided to leave the house. His father loved him very much, but not Iqbal.

Why do you think Diego could meet you? Do you think it's a coincidence!. No, it was planned. He came into my son's life, he wanted to tease him, he would snatch away anything that made Iqbal happy. He was spreading something that I didn't think was right, he said that Iqbal was like a psychopath, he was a double personality. Iqbal has an unstable emotional problem.

You know, how I feel as her mother? The woman started crying as she told me everything. I know, Iqbalku was depressed, but he didn't say anything, he always appeared ordinary, as if nothing happened. My poor son.

You know, his dad even told him that. He asked me, took him to a psychiatrist. People think Iqbal has a psychiatric problem and should be dealt with immediately. But you know, I know my son better than anyone.

I even heard the news, that they m they spread the news is not true. Iqbal was the cause of the accident that happened to Diego. They say that Iqbal did it intentionally. I even thought it was possible, but after I investigated further it turned out to be an accident. Iqbal didn't do it, he wouldn't do that to his brother. I hope you can help Iqbal when no one believes him. Can you help me? Diego is not what you see, I hope you are not wrong in deciding.

He told me everything before he left. I don't know, I don't know what to do, they didn't tell me anything. Do I have to decide on Diego? Or do I have to wait until it's all over? I know, my feelings for Iqbal are still the same, but Rara. Didn't they get engaged, although Iqbal eventually canceled everything. But that does not mean that the seed of love is already growing in their hearts.

I'm really confused about everything, I don't know what I'm gonna do. I try to remove all the burdens of the mind that bother me, however, I will still go through it all, doesn't life always have problems?.

I'm waiting for Bang Rehan to pick me up, but he hasn't come yet. I sent him a message to pick me up. The clock is 01:30, I tried to contact Bang Rehan again, but still no answer. While the sky looks cloudy, and soon it will rain.

“Go home with me, Lin!” Iqbal's haggling that came up from behind.

“No need, Bal, I'm waiting for Bang Rehan. Anyway, she came back again,” reject me smooth.

“But the rain fell soon, Lin, the possibility of Bang Rehan also did not come,” invite him once again. I also agree to Iqbal's invitation, besides he is right, Bang Rehan is not necessarily coming.

On the way home, it suddenly rained. Although it was marked by overcast and strong winds, and I knew it was going to rain, but I didn't know if it was going to rain now. Because the rain was heavy, we were forced to find shelter. It looks like it's going to rain a long time today.

“Still waiting for Bang Rehan, nih, Lin,” said Iqbal while laughing. I laughed with him too. We stared at each other, long ago. Until I finally dared to ask.

“Bal, may I ask?!” I said I looked at Iqbal.

“Ask what?” say Iqbal again.

“Bal, why—“

“Gue cancels that engagement?” he said cut my words. I just kept quiet hearing that.

“If you mind answering, yaudah gapapa,” I said to Iqbal.

“Gue, not really a fiancee like Rara, that's all I do, Lo!”

“Make me?”

“Iya, make Lo, after all Rara has a guy she is estimating,” explained Iqbal.

“Trus the commotion?” ask again.

“We have talked to them, we met intentionally, so already know.”

“Oh yes, by the way, who is the guy that Rara is taking.”

“Not He told you too!”

“Oh, but thank God, your problem is over,” I said see Iqbal.

“Iya, Lin, you stay only who has not,” he said smiling hearing his own words.

“Means?” I asked as if I didn't understand. Without the rain stopping, we continued on our way home.

“Lin, there's a rainbow! beautiful,” said Iqbal looking at me.

“The rainbow?” ask me who didn't see anything.

“In your eyeball, Lin,” he said smiling.

“Song times, Bal,” said I joined in smiling looking at Iqbal's behavior.

Arriving at home, I went down from the bike, of course, did not forget to say thanks to Iqbal for ngantarin. When I was about to walk in, I accidentally crossed paths with Rara. Rara seemed surprised to see me, as well as me. I'm as surprised as Rara is now. Why did he come home when I wasn't around? what the hell is he doing here?

Rara and I were both awkward to start a conversation. Seeing that, Iqbal deliberately melted the atmosphere by saying a little joke, which could melt the atmosphere.

“Eh, Former, why are you here?” iqbal said to Rara.

“Apaan si Bal! i, just, again have the same business Bang Rehan!” rara was nervous.

We haven't spoken in a long time. I know exactly how Rara is being honest or lying. I even know how he was trying to cover something up. And I'm sure, right now Rara is trying to cover something from us.

I looked at her in full sight, but just then, suddenly Bang Rehan appeared from behind and said if Rara left her phone, and Bang Rehan came out to deliver her.

“Weh, very good, Adeknya himself in lupain,” I said on Bang Rehan .

“Ayodeh, Dek, henfon I was law, so don't know what Lo said,” obviously Bang Rehan.

“She, Lin, can't believe it!” now Rara is speaking.

“Yaudah Bang, explain everything to Evlyn inside,” I said, then passed away to go inside the house, and wait to interrogate Abang Rehan in the guest room.

“Waah, she's terrible,” said Rara who I had heard.

“Yeah, I go first into,” Rehan said to both of them.

“Yaudah Bal we go home, why do I look like it.”

“Can explain to me, have any relationship, Lo. same Bang Rehan?”

“What's clear, Evlyn will be Adek-in-law, I!”

“What? so he means, Lo, same Bang Rehan, dating!”

“Yes, many names Lo, bal. I went home alone, I happened to bring a car here!”

“Udah apologise my tablets, Dek!” bang Rehan said lazily.

“Trus why is Rara here?” manya curious.

“Yes, there is a similar affair with me,” said Bang Rehan gave an excuse.

“Ok, but the point is, I don't want to, Rara so my sister-in-law,” I said indifferently and stressed on the word in-law.

“Yes Allah, Dek, why the Lo,” he said annoyed at my words.

“People point . don't pack comma,” obviously me again.

“Iya, Princess, yes,” he said agree with my words.
