“Trust me, whenever, our greatest enemy is no one else. They are not really those we think are more or nothing more than us. Because our biggest enemy, is ourselves.”
“How successfully we suppress our ego, it will be the determinant of our success in living every thing in our lives.”
“So, if you continue with your plans, not only you and your relationship and Brandon are ruined, but also with your parents' relationship.”
“You know how Brandon is. Even because of that as well, he preferred his past which for him would much more make him happy. Although he is aware, the future that has been loyal to him, many times superior to the past that will cause many injuries, if he really fights for it.”
“You are beautiful, you are educated, you are smart, and you have everything. But if you can't control your ego, what you have really means nothing.”
“Logikanya, although I do not tell, home people even mamahnya know, you who brought me. Just because of this alone, Brandon will already go berserk.” Aini ended her speech by continuing to be calm.
Another with Aini, in the middle of the atmosphere in a car shrouded in darkness, Lanterns sitting in the middle passenger seat, it was very unsettled.
“Ya Allah .. I love Brandon. I really love him. I really just need him. Even if he does not have smallpox and I am not prohibited near him, ... I really want to hug and take care of him!” inner Lantern.
The lantern realized, acknowledging that everything Aini said was true. The problem is, Lantern deliberately detained Aini because she was too confused how to make Brandon so that her future husband still chose her.
Regardless of everything, the driver who brought them was really confused by the intention of Aini speaking at length like earlier, in addition to Aini who did not mention Lantern or Brandon with a special call. As if, Aini and the two had a special relationship. Which Aini is Brandon's past.
“Masa anyway? How can?” thought the driver who secretly so watch Aini and Lantern through the rearview mirror above it.
The driver thought something was wrong. As if, everything Aini said was indeed true. That although Aini is Brandon's past, although Aini is not much better than Lantern, both in terms of physical, educational and also social status, including wealth, wealth, Brandon will still choose Aini because Aini is much more comfortable.
In another place, in his room, Brandon, who was feeling very unwell due to his pain, woke up and sat down.
“Duh ... This is no one let alone Aini, yes?” lirih Brandon who then sighed.
Brandon's body that returned to feel carefree as well as high fever, was already sweaty. Brandon was getting frustrated. Because in times of illness like now, what he wants to do is just spoiled to Aini again. The problem is, the situation is highly unlikely. Not just because it's night. Because their status also makes them have to keep their distance.
“Partially, it looks like Aini is asleep. This day alone, Aini until not eating just to keep and take care of me.” Brandon was frustrated. “Sick like this so not free. Want to talk to papah mamah also again must be postponed. Not just because of my pain. Because my voice alone until it runs out really not left, his inner” again.
Not wanting to trouble Aini anymore even though Brandon missed her so much, the young man decided to drink the rest of his medicine that adorned the special box. There were still three rations of medicine, and he drank one part of it.
“Sekangen this .. hopefully early in the morning, so I can see even with you again, Ni. Sleep tight, yes!” inner Brandon.
Imagining Aini's shadow all day taking care of her, Brandon felt very happy. A sincere smile continued to decorate his handsome face which was now very pale full of sweat.
Now, suddenly Brandon's memory is decorated Aini's confession, this afternoon.
“At that time, I was almost forcibly married by my father, to Jaka. But when Ijab kabul, I managed to escape. Using the bride's kebaya, I've managed to escape to the pesantren. I deliberately looked for Mas, but he said Mas did not exist. Then, I look for Mas to the workshop Mas work. Some even say that Mas went to Jakarta.”
“The problem, has not been able to confirm again, the Jaka people who came to follow and finally found me, reported that father fainted ..”
“Bapak ended up dying of a heart attack. The effect I'm blurred. But before he died, he underwent intensive treatment in the hospital and cost no small amount.”
“Jaka and his family offer marriage as barter. They said they would pay all hospital fees including funeral costs and everything, as long as I want to marry Jaka.”
“But because I refused, they deliberately ensnared me with a large interest loan. I who had no other choice, was forced to accept the interest-bearing loan until I was wrapped up in a lot of debt.”
“Eight years passed, Jaka already has two wives, but he is still trying to marry me relying on the loan I did and until now I am still great-grandson.”
“Last, my reason for going to Jakarta is also still because of it.”
The story that Aini told Brandon, only up to that. Because even though Brandon asked in detail and even forced, Aini did not want the story. I don't know what really happened, but one day, even if necessary, Brandon will make a special retaliation to Jaka.
“Ya already Ni .. Now I've taken the medicine. I'm gonna take another break, so tomorrow I can take care of our relationship. Bismillah, in the future, we'll always be together, Ni. Amen,” Inner Brandon who gradually curled up in the middle of his two eyes that were already completely closed.
In another place, the car carrying Aini and Lantern, finally stopped. Their car was already in front of the garage of a magnificent house and no bigger than Brandon's parents' residence.
All Aini knows is, it's Lantern parents' house. The lanterns brought her home to her parents. Aini was not taken to the house that Brandon and Lantern would later occupy after the two were married, as Lantern requested permission from Chole's mother.
Someone ART has come out at once to take a bag or a lantern supply place.
“Mbak, take this Mbak to bed with you, yes.” The lanterns just left. His already battered mood made him unable to behave properly.
Aini was stared questionably by ART named Marni. “Mbak new, yeah, Mommy? What is from the office?”
Aini who is no less confused said, “From the mas house Brandon.”
“Oh .. yes already, come with me.” Marni walks first and Aini follows soon.
“Somewhat will happen. In two days, I've been moved to two different houses. Bismillah,” Inner Aini.
