Johan's Disappointment

Johan widened his smile when he had set foot in his uncle's village back. We'll be with Laras soon. Her thought.

" Let's go Johan to Uncle Aji's house first." Papa said.

They went straight to Aji's house, papa Johan misses the atmosphere like this.

" Assallammualaikum." At once Johan and his papa mama say hello making the one in the house come out in shock.

" Wa'alaikumsallam." A smile of happiness emanated from Aji's face.

papa Johan and Aji hugged each other, they did not see each other for a long time.

"Why don't you come here first?"

" It's a surprise." Answer papa Johan.

They ended up sitting off tired during the trip and also chatting the reason they came here.

" Why did you bring your parents here?"

" As Johan said Uncle, Johan will bring papa and mama to propose to Laras."

Aji's face had changed completely, sad as it emanated on her face.

" Johan you're patient, son."

Johan fused his eyebrows at the words of Uncle Aji that he did not yet understand.

" What does uncle mean?"

papa and Mama Johan listen to the talk of her Son and also Aji.

" Pamankan has advised you many times but you don't want to believe."

" I don't understand what uncle means."

" The barrel is not a good girl. He betrayed your sincere love Han, Today he will marry one of the rice maids in this village."

" It can't be uncle." Johan's face had changed completely. Not believing but there was a disappointed look at his Uncle's words.

" And you know, for the sake of getting property he is willing to marry a man who already has three wives."

papa and Mama Johan are also shocked to hear the story of Johan because it is very different from the figure that Johan talked about so far.

" Already, already and yet he tore your letter after reading it. Uncle has also tried to talk to Laras nicely but he doesn't care."

Johan immediately ran out of Aji's house, in a hurry he ran towards Laras' house.

"BYE. . .SAH. . .SAH. . ."

Johan heard the voice of the man who witnessed Laras' marriage, his feet trembling in disbelief with what he saw and heard.

Johan's tears trickle for the first time for the sake of a girl he loves.

there are a lot of questions in Johan's mind.

Wh why?

wh why?

Wh why?

And there is so much that cannot be expressed. Johan went from nowhere his feet stepped. Johan could not make a move.

While at Aji's house she tries to explain to Johan's parents.

" As I said before on the phone, she's not a good girl. Fortunately Johan is not a match with him, if not pity later Johan."

" I feel sorry for Johan pa, for sure his happiness is gone after this, when he was really excited and enthusiastic to bring us here."

" Aren't you guys going to get Johan."

" Yes, but he refused."

" Maybe not this time, once he finds out who Laras really is."

"Not anytime soon, Johan's disappointment will need time to heal." Said Johan's father wisely.

Long ago Johan did not return, They were afraid Johan would make a scene in the Baras ceremony, Aji soon followed but he did not find anything. The Laras event has been completed but there are still many people who sliveran.

Aji immediately searches elsewhere but does not find Johan. Aji returned worried.

Johan was still sitting quietly in the mosque, after praying he complained about what was in his heart. Johan could only give up being unable to do anything more.
