My Bow to the Destiny of Love

Ardian Baskara 3's

"I do not demand that you be by my side, with me at all times. But at least you are there when I really need you. When I was down and needed friends, there was nothing to strengthen me but Amira. The woman I love so much. He's the only one who cares about me. That's why I'm so hard pressed to leave her now."

"What's so special about that woman, son?"

Ardian smiled cynically. "But ask what's so special about Amira? It's obvious that Amira is special to Ardian, Pi. He was the only one who always cared about me. Ask me if I've eaten anything yet. Ask me if I am healthy. Asked me about my position when he didn't see me around Campus. You guys are my parents, did Papi and Mami ever ask me those trivial things?"

"That's a trivial thing, Pi, Mi. But the question really is something special for an abandoned child like me."

"We didn't abandon you, Ardian. Even though we were never next to you. We always meet your needs. So there's no reason you say we abandoned you." Ms. Renata got up with overflowing emotions. "So your mouth when you talk! Just as polite as parents, so we're not disappointed to have a child like you."

Ardian laughed at his mother. "I can't do that, Mommy. You yourself never taught me how to be civilized to parents. How will I be polite, whereas manners are never written in the dictionary of my life."

"Arm..!" Ms. Renata approached Ardian, and..

Plaque..!

"Remissed..! Get you out of here! I don't want my son to be any more heartless when humanity sees you're careless." Mr. Sucipto directly dragged his wife.

"Just leave Mami here, Pi. Papi himself said that. Papi wants to solve all the problems I have tonight." Ardian wiped his tears again.

"I'd rather go than listen to this ungodly child's dirty words."

"Huh? Mami said, I'm a bad boy? I'm the son of the ungodly or Mami who deserves the title of the parent of the ungodly?" Ardian chuckled, but his tears flowed again.

"Yes, maybe Mami was right. Your son is a bad boy. I forgot to tell you. I'm guilty of using the money you gave me to buy illegal goods."

"Stop, Son! No, don't tell me anymore. Yeah, Papi was wrong all along. Please forgive Papi, son. From now on, Papi will fix all those mistakes slowly." Mr. Sucipto clasped his wife's arm tightly so as not to make any more comments.

"Thank you, Papi's been willing to realize Papi's mistake. Now I want to rest. You guys come out if you want to see me better tomorrow morning." Ardian immediately shifted his body to the middle of the bed. Pull the blanket over his entire body.

That morning the atmosphere at the dining table was completely silent. Only the sound of the twang of the spoon of Mr. Sucipto and Ardian were earthy, filling the silence. Ms. Renata just stirred up the contents of her plate without any intention to taste it.

"The food will not run out if it is not eaten."

Ms. Renata raised her face. She looked at her husband who was looking at her sharply. Last night he cried after Mr. Sucipto scolded him all out. Her eyes were swollen from crying too much.

"Take your breakfast, Renata. After that compress your eyes so as not to look too swollen."

"How come? it looks so prominent."

"You go to treatment every week. How to compress swollen eyes you do not know? So what is millions of money for? Didn't you notice what the salon did to you?"

Ms. Renata silently listened to her husband's nagging. Sniffing by himself without sound. Only his mouth seemed to be kamit indistinct.

"If you speak clearly. Why is your mouth kamit not clear like **** chicken."

Ardian held a smile at seeing his mama. He knows very well the nature of his mother who does not like to be criticized. Moreover, his papa speech sounded a little slovenly. Surely his mother was holding back the annoyance that had been boiling in the crown.

"Ardian, tell your mom how to compress puffy eyes because most cry."

Ardian just glanced at his papi. Back to feed the rice, one big mouthful into his mouth. Chew the rice slowly. Intentionally making the two old men in front of him wait.

"Well, why ask me, Pi? I don't memorize things that smell like women. Instead of busy asking here and there, use om google aja all that can." He said after gulping water.

Miss Renata seemed to think. "Lazy nulis, ah."

"If you are lazy, use voice. That's it, use any complicated event." Ardian got up and left the dining table. Breakfast is still plenty. However, the two old men just kept silent to see their son's departure. They do not know, whether it is the habit of Ardian who likes to leave food or not.

"Hear the advice of your son." Said Mr. Sucipto after a long silence.

Miss Renata took a deep breath. "Mm. Mami will ask Mami's friends."

"Don't say later! This afternoon we will go to the house of our future daughter-in-law. What Mami wants, looks bad in front of the Chayra family later. Usually, Mami always looks the maximum in appearance. What's wrong, obey the child so that the problem is quickly solved." Mr. Sucipto got up while leaving the dining table.

Miss Renata just grunted. It was a bit of a surprise to see her husband's very cold attitude change lately.

Ardian stood on the balcony of his room. His hands tightly grip his phone. His eyes look empty. He repeatedly contacted Amira. However, the girl's phone number is inactive. It seemed, she did not mess with what she had said a few nights ago. If he were to leave his hometown. Continuing his studies in the land of people.

Ardian ruffled his hair. He looks frustrated. He had no hope for Amira anymore. Several times I heard heavy breathing. It seemed, the freedom he had all along would truly be over.

Ardian still did not believe in his fate. Is she really going to marry Chayra Azzahra? The question was repeated on himself. A woman who has never been in the type of woman of her dreams. A woman who is far from her criteria. The woman he really doesn't want. The woman he really hated. The only woman who dared to oppose him and insult him.

"Sad...!" Ardian grumbled. Recalling how Chayra refused to shake hands with him back then.

Tired of ruffling her hair, Ardian sat hugging her knees. A few times taking a deep breath.

"What dream am I up to my fate apes like gini.." He said as he looked up at the ceiling of his room balcony.

"Amira... Where the hell is it..? Did you really leave me? Are you not in love with me anymore?" Rubbed his face violently.

"What is so special about that friend? Everyone says, I'm really lucky to get him. But, why do I even feel the loss of having a partner who looks like that. Interesting where to try. Yes, if you see it in it anyway, very interesting people. But that is the nature that I do not like. I hate him, the Pokonya. You could've told me to love her, Mir. Crazy you know that you know very well, the woman who became my taste is like how."

Ardian got up and approached the balcony guardrail. His eyes stared deep into the highway. Where are the crowded vehicles. His eyes implied pent-up anger.

"Lho don't dream that I will make that friend happy, Amira. Don't you know, with me marrying her the revenge will be dashed. With this marriage, I will continue my revenge on her. I will make him suffer. Very much suffering." Ardian clenched his teeth. His hands clenched tightly, describing how much he really hated the girl named Chayra Azzahra.
