Not as Beautiful as Angan

Not as Beautiful as Angan
Before the yellow stale curls



"Why Buana ma'am?" Cempaka doesn't understand.


"He promised you, son!"


Sahut bu Sekar, the look in his eyes implies a hope.


"He only promised mom, whether he kept it or not. Still worrying, not sure mom. While the Ocean, he did not make promises, but he immediately gave evidence" Sergeah Cempaka.


He felt that his mother would not allow him to accept his love for the Ocean.


"Indeed, this sa'at Buana has just promised, but he has long known and close to our family" said his mother.


"Although it is near, it is familiar. If he breaks his promise?... Who will lose mom?... Especially now his family is also like those who avoid us. Momana also at that time I said hello, she did not answer him, instead she ran away from me, is that not enough?... This mother how the hell?" Cempaka became upset with his mother's attitude.


The happiness he had just felt with the arrival of the Ocean, was now instantly melted with the words of his mother.


Unfeeling, tears filled both of her eyelids. Sadness and disappointment began to permeate the recesses of his heart.


"According to mom, you have to wait for the decision from Buana, then you can receive the Ocean. Let it not be a dispute" said Bu Sekar.


"Mother, I'm not Buana's wife yet, I'm not. Why wait for a verdict from him?... Between me and Buana there is no bond yet... Uhk... Uhk..." Cempaka could not hold back his tears. She was disappointed with her mother's attitude.


"Even if there's no bond yet, but he promised us, son, you have to understand that"


Gently, Bu Sekar reminded his son.


"He took another woman to his house, Mom.


That's why I also accepted Samudera as my future husband. I don't want to wait for an uncertain promise... Hix... Hicks..."Reveal Cempaka with his sobbing cry.


"If you don't agree with the Ocean, it's okay, I'll marry in the place of the roses only!... Hix... Hicks..." Cempaka again.


The wound in his heart that gradually began to dry up, was now torn back. Now gaping again, causing extreme pain.


"Try to understand my son,


our family with his family Buana is familiar, it is close. I don't want that closeness to be destroyed"


Said Bu Sekar again, he still tried to convince his son.


And, Cempaka still did not want to follow the advice of his mother. Because, he had felt hurt by Buana. Who deliberately avoided him. And had deliberately brought another woman for his future wife.


"Mom should understand ma'am... Hix... Hix... My heart hurts, Mom!... Buana has broken mom's promise!... By bringing another woman into his house... Hix... Mean... Hix... He has forgotten me... Hix... Hix... Just because of Hiks... Our families... Hix... It's close, I have to wait for him... "


Said Cempaka while continuing to cry wailing.


The ocean took a deep breath. He was confused by the attitude of his mother Cempaka.


"Ma'af before mom, if I think, Cempaka's words are true. There is no bond between them, there is no yellow janur curved as a sign of a wedding party, it means... They're just friends, there's no seriousness yet. So, why wait for an uncertain promise?" Slowly the Ocean finally let out his heart.


He also disagreed with his mother Cempaka's opinion.


"Now this is how it is, son! I want to chat first with his father Cempaka, how good about this problem" said bu Sekar finally decided.


Maybe let the Ocean say goodbye soon to go home.


"Where's your dad going?" Ask Ocean.


"At the mosque, usually at eight o'clock more recently returned home, after praying Isya congregated" Sahut his mother Cempaka.


"Oohs... Well then, I want to say goodbye first mungpung not too late. Cempaka, God willing I will come again"


Finally the ocean came home.


"I'll wait for you" Cempaka said.


"Assynoltom..." He said as he came out of his house bu Sekar, after which he shook hands and kissed his hand bu Sekar respectfully.


"Thank you, Cempaka" said.


Cempaka stared at the departure of the Ocean with a sense of uncertainty. In the face of the back of the Ocean, until lost in the swallow turn.


With the disappearance of the Ocean from the sight of his eyes, there was something missing also in the heart and soul of Cempaka.


"Protect him, O God!" Slowly do.


"Treid-job!... Enter son!" Call bu Sekar.


"Yes mom!" Cempaka with laziness.


The front door of his house was closed. He slowly walked into the house, into the living room and then into his room.


"Yes Allah... Why does her attitude continue so?... Why is he waiting for Buana?... Do you know how Buana behaved to me?... Oh Allah... Show me what's best for me... Give me strength, O God" he muttered with his feet behind the door of his room.


His eyes looked far away from nowhere, his mind was stumbled on his speech and attitude Bu Sekar earlier.


"It looks like you wouldn't agree if I chose the Ocean. What do I have to do, God?...


I no longer want to be the same man whose attitude is like Buana, who just casually reneged on his promise" he muttered again while taking a deep breath.


"Treid-job!... Seruni, where's your brother?" Ask Bu Sekar to Seruni who is watching TV in the living room.


"In her room ma'am!" Sahut Seruni's.


"Tokay!... Toks!... Champak!... Out son!.. I want to talk" he said.


"Yes ma'am" Sahut Cempaka slowly.


"Must want to talk about the problem earlier" he murmured.


Lazily, Cempaka opened the door of her room.


"Yes mom, what's wrong?" Cempaka leaning on the door frame


"Help me ready for the food, sister!... Then your father will come" Take Bu Sekar to Cempaka.


"Yes ma'am" replied Cempaka slowly.


Cempakapun out of his room, then followed mother to the dining room.


On the dining table, it has been neatly arranged food and plates in each place.


"What's not mom?" Cempaka asked in wonder.


" Mom lied to me let me out of the room" Bathinnya.


"All of. Actually I want to talk to you" said Bu Sekar while sitting in a chair.


"Ooh!..." Cempaka answered very briefly. He could already guess where his mother was talking.


"So you went straight into the room, you were angry with mom?... You don't like what mom said?" Ask mother. Maybe Bu Sekar was offended, because Cempaka went straight into his room.


"No ma'am, no" Cempaka tried to convince his mother.


"Alright then, later after eating we talk about this with your father" said Bu Sekar.


"Yes ma'am" Sahut Cempaka slowly.


He was actually very lazy to talk about the matter. It won't be wrong. Must be mom and dad forbidding me to accept his Ocean proposal.


My mother and father must have told me to wait for news from Buana. The news is clearly uncertain.
