Intan was still crying as if beside the navel of the mother who had left her first to face the khalik.
"Tan, come on, don't cry anymore. I know you're very sad, but I believe you won't like it when you see you dissolve in this grief, either," erland is still trying to calm down the beautiful girl he has taken for granted like his own sister.
"I'm afraid, Bang, I don't have anyone. Hicks..." Intan further strengthened her embrace at the man beside her. Ah, if only the man could accept her as a lover, then he would definitely ask to be married so that the fear soon disappears.
"Already, already, Let's go home now huh. You don't need to be afraid, think of you as your own family. Have you forgotten that we are now both orphans. Brother has also been living alone all this time, you and your mother who you consider as your own family," Erland explained to the woman.
"Bang, why do you still think of me as a sister? I want to be your lover. Why can't you open your heart for me a little bit?" intan said releasing the man's embrace.
"Tan, Brother can't," Erland replied firmly.
"Why can't you, Bang? Does he have a lover?" tanya Intan looked worried.
"Yes, you already have a lover. Brother can't hurt his feelings, and of course you won't want to be cheated on" said the man honestly.
Suddenly, Intan's tears fell again. It hurts to hear the honest sentence, but he must be able to accept the reality.
"Thank you, you're honest, I don't want to be cheated on, but I'll wait. If one day you are not happy, please open the door of your heart for me. Because Samapi at any time is only my first and last love for me," said the girl tearfully.
"Daddy, don't talk like that. You can definitely get a much better man than you. Open your heart to another man, you are nothing short of nothing, you are beautiful and you are..."
"Enough, Bang! I'm a woman who has a lot of shortcomings, because otherwise, you can't choose another woman," he explained.
"But it's a matter of feeling, Dek, because you used to think of you as just a little brother." Erland was still trying to explain for the woman to understand.
"Yes, I know Bang. Sorry to make you uncomfortable, but please let me love you even if this feeling is peerless" Intan said trying to toughen up while wiping away her tears, though his heart ached deeply for what he heard from a man's honesty.
Intan immediately went ahead of Erland who was still fixated there. The man let out a heavy sigh, he was confused what to do? Feelings cannot be forced.
***
Three days after the departure of the mother, now diamond has begun to resume his studies at the university in the city. Still mingled in his memory about the honesty of Erland who admitted that he had had a lover of heart.
Intan tries to stay calm and behave accordingly. It was enough to hope too deeply. He will still love, but that love will be neatly stored in his heart.
"Morning, Deck!" exclaim someone while aligning his steps with Intan.
"Yes morning, Bang. Going to college?" ask Intan to the man who still dominates her heart. The man who had been so kind and attentive, but all that was limited to the attention of his brother to his sister.
"Yes, have you had breakfast?" asked Erland who is still as usual, that's what makes Intan more deeply put feelings. Not willing to just be considered as a sister, but also not want to ruin his happiness. Intan tried to be sincere even though he did not know how to get rid of the man's name in his heart.
"Already, Bang," he answered briefly.
"There's no need to apologize, Bang, because here I'm wrong. I can't control my feelings, but you don't have to worry. I will try to accept all the facts. May you be happy" replied Intan trying hard.
Erland only sighed deeply with a look of guilt on the beautiful woman. Actually nothing is less. She is beautiful, smart, and very friendly and also good-natured. But back again, this is about feeling, his heart has been attached to a woman who works as a famous model.
As usual they wait for the busway to get to the campus. They are indeed one campus, but Erland will soon complete his studies, he is in the preparation of the thesis. While diamond has only served five semesters.
Tin! Tin!
The sound of car horns disperse the daydream of the two people who are waiting for the busway fleet. Understand those who live in simplicity. Erland and Diamond are smart students, so they get scholarships at the same university.
"Honey, yuk together" exclaimed someone from inside the car who stopped right in front of them.
"Nindy! Tumben really you nyamperin me?" erland said to the woman who had been confirmed as his lover. Actually they have been in a relationship for a long time, but somehow Intan completely deadlocked information about the man if he had a lover. Did Erland purposely hide from her in order to keep her feelings?
"Yes, because today I'm free makul, so can nyamperin you. Come on, let's go in!" bring the beautiful woman with a charming smile.
"Ah, but I brought my sister. It's okay, isn't it?" asked Erland who could not bear to leave Intan alone.
"Yes, it's okay. Come inside!"
Erland invites Intan to come with her, but the girl refuses, it is better to go alone on the bus than to see the couple's affection.
"Come on, Intan, you'll be late" said Erland still trying to bring him.
"No need, Bang, I'll take the busway. That the bus has come, I first yes," reply Intan who immediately entered the fleet loaded with many passengers.
Erland was still glued to the girl's departure. He immediately got into the luxury car of the lover.
"Well, you're dumb, honey?" ask Nindi to the man.
Indeed, since hearing Intan's confession a few days ago made his heart slightly disturbed, of course there is guilt and heartlessness. But he has promised in his heart to always keep Intan until anytime.
Erland was still feeling the trust of her mother, Intan, before she breathed her last breath. The mother asked him to protect and keep the diamond until anytime. Hopefully, Intan will soon get a man who is much better than him.
Seriate....
