My Choice of Woman

Episode 52

“Ray, have you ever been in love?

Ray's eyes were round, the question Farah had just uttered was successfully stirring up his memories. Ray had fallen in love for the first time with a beautiful girl named Anneline. That feeling had faded in time, although Ray had met Anneline in Zen City, still felt it had been destroyed, destroyed without rest. And now Ray is in love for the second time.

“I am just like humans in general, feeling in love with the wrong person,” replied Ray.

“Means you are luckier than Adam, presented with many choices in this world. You can choose women as you wish. Unlike Adam, he can only fall in love with one woman. He was also not presented to choose other than mother Eve.”

Ray nods to justify the statement from Farah, it is true that we humans now may be much more fortunate to be able to choose the criteria at will. But Ray just wants Farah.

If you had known Farah, I would have wished you to be the mother of Eve who was only meant for Adam, and I also wished that your Adam was me. I also want you to be bound to my shoulder blades in the sacred bond of marriage, both as a man and a woman.

“Is he in Cafe Numa?” ask Akmal on the phone.

“Iya Mr. Akmal, he had been here to find Mr. Ilham, but now the lady has left. I prevented him from leaving. And now this city is going through a mild storm,” replied Cafe Numa manager across the street.

Go where Farah went.

“Pak Akmal, there was a man looking for the lady. It's like I know him. He was Rayhan the picker of the largest construction company that was very famous in the City of Milepolis. He also came to this cafe shortly after the lady left the cafe,”

What's up!? sir Ray is also looking for Farah's mother in Numa City? Did I not hear wrong?

Akmal hung up his phone. He still can't believe that Ray is really – really chasing the wife of his boss.

Akmal hurriedly searched for his boss's phone number, he tapped quickly on his phone screen. He tried to contact Ilham.

Akmal put his phone close to his egg.

“Why has Ilham been so hard to contact lately!” Akmal snorted in annoyance, he felt anxious about the state of his boss' household.

Suddenly Akmal got an idea. He was confident that his idea would succeed in getting his boss to return to Milepolis. He was struggling with the laptop that was in front of him at this time. His eyes were sharp looking for the files he needed.

“I'm sorry Farah, I have to do this.”

Rain had subsided, but cloudy still adorned the sky of Zen City, Ilham decided to rest in a beautiful green garden. He had already surrounded almost the entire eastern Zen City.

Ilham had planned to search for Anneline in the southern and northern Zen cities. He breathed a long breath into the air. He encouraged himself that he could find Anneline. But it's not that easy. Now his heart and logic are at war.

I'll find him, there's three days left.

Hearts encourage the owner who is tired of his search.

Why exhaust yourself to look for women who have no news this six years.

Logic shouts presumptuously to awaken the owner that want to follow his heart then there will be regret in the future.

Anneline is the most special woman, Logic!

You forgot Heart, the woman you thought was special disappeared six years ago. Do you still consider it special Heart?

You need to understand the heart. Didn't his passing break you? Until now your owner still feels the wound?

For that I seek logic! I want to see him! I want to meet that special girl!

Why bother to seek the Heart? Didn't our owner bond with a much better woman than that woman named Anneline?

Listen to Logic! He was bound to the owner because of the force! Just so you know Logic, on my field there are no seeds of love growing between them!

That's because you don't realize it the heart! You follow the wrong ego more than you follow me! You're following the roar of our possessor's past! Remember the ego that controls all until your eyes are closed!

Silent Logic! My owner doesn't want that woman! He just wants Anneline! Just Anneline!

Do you want to eliminate the fact that the woman with him is now bound in a sacred bond! Don't follow your selfish heart! Do not follow the ego that will make our owners destroyed and too sick!

Inspiration took a deep breath. He was too confused what to do. He was getting tired of this situation. And the fact that in these four days, what he did seemed to be in vain.

“I want to find him,” guman Ilham.

For the umpteenth time the heart sided again with that stubborn ego. Inspiration is still ambitious to find Anneline in Zen City.

Inspiration saw a grandmother walking slowly carrying her merchandise on her back. The grandmother was now resting on a park bench close to her current position.

“I'll buy some of his merchandise,” guman Ilham. He walked towards Grandma.

The grandmother was selling boiled corn, she looked exhausted because it had gone far enough.

“Nek, excuse me. I want to buy corn stew.” Inspiration smiles and speaks politely.

Unexpectedly the look of Grandma's facial water was directly sumringah, he deftly put some boiled corn into a plastic bag.

“This is for his wife huh Nak?” ask grandma that.

Ilham was a little surprised to hear the word ‘wife’. He had not seen Farah for a long time.

Ilham nodded. He handed some money to the grandmother.

“Sorry son, I have no change,” said the grandmother.

Ilham smiled, he indeed deliberately overstated his money for the grandmother, “His return is for the grandmother only.”

The grandmother looks happy to hear what Ilham said, “Thank you son, Grandma pray that the relationship will last, launched her recovery and if you do not have a baby can be synchronized. Amin.”

Inspiration only nodded.

The liver! Listen to the prayer that Grandma just said, don't cover your ears!

I heard the logic!

You know the Heart? Now in the mind of our owner there is a woman named Farah not a woman named Anneline!
