PREMATURE
My day is better than yesterday. I am thankful that I am finally healed.
But I didn't calm down because of Ara's last chat.
I'm getting ready to go to the office.
" lady... Papa walk first... I take a break, don't do homework. Let Papa ma the kids settle in." I kissed my wife's forehead before leaving.
"Yes Pa... Be careful on the road. But today Papa just came out. Papa don't get too tired first huhah..." Pipin my wife is greeting me.
I nodded and left.
I'm heading for the town square. I didn't go straight to the office and it just so happened that Rahma was also training at the town hall.
I parked my bike, and I sent a message to Ara. I haven't heard from Ara in 2 days.
"Mom...."
My message has not been read by Ara when I saw her active online.
I waited, I intended to buy cigarettes but I paled because I remembered Ara's message. Hmmmmm....
Finally I ordered a warm orange drink, as Ara often advised.
Coincidentally near me sitting, there is an angkringan stall.
Until the drink I ordered came, but Ara did not also read my message.
I ventured to call him. Three times it rings just connect.
"Nova ..."
"Yeah Pram... How are you doing? You healthy?"
"Yeah Ar..." I want to see Ara but I'm afraid that Ara won't take my video call.
"Thank God... I'm so happy to see you're Pram's healthy."
I'm silent.
"Pram...."
"Yes Ar ..."
"Kok diem ... How is Pipin's condition?"
"Thank God... I'm glad Pram's horrified."
"Someone wants me to talk about."
"" Yes, Pram...I'm horrified."
"and ... I didn't understand your message at the time. Whatchu mean?"
"Pram.... Sorry me. I'll clear everything up Pram."
I just kept quiet, hearing what Ara's excuse was.
" Prim... You said, feel my love with your heart. Now I want you to also feel my love with your heart."
"and ... I want to see you, I want to see you when you explain everything...Please..."
"But Pram..." Ara said but I immediately switched to a video call.
At first Ara did not accept it, but eventually Ara accepted it.
Ara was crying.
"b... I know and can feel your love, your love. Why should you write such a message. Hmmmm... "
Ara wiped her tears and looked at me.
"Pram's... You know and can feel my feelings.... I had to do this all Pram. You used to say, what is the evidence that I love you. You always say that my feelings are just emotions for a moment even you say that I'm just obsessed. Yes.... It's time I proved that I really love and love you." Ara then lowered her head.
"Ar. You don't have to prove anything Ara...I believe." I looked at Ara's motherly face. I wanted to hug her but yeah...
" When you were sick yesterday, I was afraid that you would go far away from me. I love you, Pram, I love you very much. I'm afraid of losing you. But seeing you healed, I'm happy because you can still see me, can stay beside me. Understand Pram, this is all because I'm afraid of losing you. Let me keep my promise to God, Pram ."
"But Ar...I ..." I haven't finished talking Ara's cut my talk.
"Pram's...This is our destiny."
I looked at Ara who was crying.
I know and can feel Ara's love and affection for me. Well I understand.... How heavy Ara said all this.
"Pram's... I don't want us to walk around feeling guilty in the name of our love and affection. I hope you understand. Let us leave everything to God's word. "
"Yeah Ar... I-i understand... " I said.
