(POV) Galih
Fira, she is the second woman that makes my heart tremble. The first woman to make my heart shake was Zahra, daughter of Mr. Sasmito from Padang Gatah village. But several times my application was rejected by Mr. Sasmito. I don't know what criteria Mr. Sasmito wants to be his daughter's life partner.
I've always improved myself to deserve to be Zahra's husband. Until one day I heard the news of the marriage of Zahra and Dewanta, a young man from Padang Sawit village who had been living in the city. At that time I was desperate to go to Zahra who was eating at the shop of Bu Narsih. I invited Zahra to elope because I was sure Zahra did not love Dewanta.
I did not expect Zahra to reject my invitation. I salute the establishment of Zahra and Dewanta who want to get married for the sake of his devotion to his parents.
I also heard that the Zahra and Dewanta households were quite harmonious. From then on my struggle to get Zahra I ended. I'm not going to chase after people's wives' love. Now I fill my days with a focus on growing my business.
This day was a special day, where I met a woman who was able to make my heart beat faster. Though I doubt, I fear disappointment again. Honestly heartbroken left Zahra married almost makes me think desperate to end my life. fortunately there is still a little residual faith in the chest that makes me able to survive this test.
it's been a month since my encounter with Fira, the charming beauty that made me fall in love. This heart feels so missed. But I don't know where to find him. When I met him I did not think to ask for his mobile number let alone his home address.
Now I'm spending the weekend at the biggest mall in town. I bought some snacks at a bakery in this mall. After I pick out some snacks for me to make a tester
with employees.
Buugh....
A woman slammed her back against my back
Adw...
"I'm sorry I didn't mean it" said the beautiful woman behind me. I looked back because I seemed to know his voice.
"Firaaaa, how are you, Fira, never thought to meet here," said very happy because the person I missed is now in front of me. She blushed, I grabbed her hand and took her to a nearby cafe from where we met. Intention to buy some snacks for the tester I canceled. This woman is more important, she's the source of my happiness. I should be able to grab his attention.
"Where are we going, aren't we shopping?" said Fira.
"So we want to shop it's a back business, later we shop the same - the same, there's something I want to talk about," I said as I continued to step inside the cafe. I immediately pulled out a chair to sit on Fira then pulled out another chair for my own seat right in front of her. Fira you remember not if I ever said if we meet again it means we are a match," I told Fira and greeted with laughter by her.
"Because your words yesterday were just kidding, you brought me here and left our groceries mas Galih, you are really funny huh," said Fira as she passed away leaving me. I immediately ran after him.
"Fira wait a minute, I'm serious about what I said. Please sit down for a while I want to be honest with you," I said as I pulled back Fira's hand to sit back. Fira was forced to follow what I wanted.
"I want to be honest that I fell in love with you from first sight. You are the one who is able to shake my heart after a long time my heart is empty because it failed to pursue the woman I love" I said.
"So painful is your love story, it seems we both have a dark story in love. How about we just be friends first, we share each other, confide in each other, if later we feel equally comfortable continue otherwise we can find our own way, each of us, there's no bond between us, anyway" I told Fira and she agreed. I told the story of my love for Zahra that failed before docking. Because Zahra was betrothed by her parents to Dewanta.
"What you mean Dewanta is Dewanta who comes from Padang Sawit village, "asked Fira. it turns out that Dewanta who is now the husband of Zahra is a former lover of Fira.
"Dewanta is the man you love and Zahra the wife of Dewanta is the one I love. It's really like in a soap opera. Had this been in the soap opera maybe we would have worked together to destroy their marriage. But we are in the real world. I hope we don't do something like that. Rather than us destroying their household we better build a household and make good friends with them, yes no!!, "I said to Fira while raising my eyebrows while smiling at Fira's teasing. Fira just laughed in response to all my words.
"have also your idea, unfortunately I'm not interested in a household anymore. Mas Galih!!, I am a widow, so it is impossible to marry you who is a virgin. if you marry just because you want to show off happiness in front of Zahwa and Dewanta, iih, not bagget," said Fira while sneering at me. I also only laughed lightly in response to Fira's words.
"Who would want to get married because he wants to show off happiness to Zahra and Dewanta, let's spend your food we shop again. You have to eat a lot in order to be strong against the former," I said. Fira just smiled and immediately brushed off the food in front of her. After eating, we continued to shop for snacks.
"Fira, watch cinema yo, it's a weekend, usually the movie is rame," I said while holding Fira's hand to the ticketing place. Fira and I watched a horror movie. What dream did I last night, today can walk with the beautiful woman who every night is present in my delusion.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, I immediately drove Fira to her house.
"Thank you Mas Galih for today. What dream I had last night could meet and walk together until this night," said Fira.
"I thank you very much, because you make today more colorful than usual. Oh yeah what if you come with me to play my village, there is a good view, you know," I told Fira.
"Want to go to the village, but it's a pity that my schedule is crowded again. Here I replace the position of my leg that is sick so it is still a period of adjustment, how about next week," said Fira. Of course I immediately agreed to it because whenever he wanted to go with me, then I would always be ready.
"Yes already, I say yes, by the way I was not invited to enter!!, introduced to mom and dad, "my pancake to Fira.
"It just so happened that I just stayed with ART, my dad and my mom have been living in Paris since I was in college" Fira replied.
"Oh, if you just stay with ART I don't want to stop by, afraid of KHIlaf," I said with a laugh following Fira's laughter.
"If you joke funny too, besides who would want to worship you".
"So far as you want to know who he is," I said with a laugh. But Fira immediately pushed my body into the car.
"Let's go home late at night, be divided by RT sir, " said Fira.
"I even hope to be raided by RT sir, let it be married immediately, "my words while laughing, but Fira just stick out her tongue and go straight into the depths of her house.
I immediately drove my car across the highway to my apartment.
