Prison of Love

First Meeting

#40

“Who is it, Naya?”

I'm still opening the trunk of the car replied Abah without looking at her, “Who's what, Bah?”

“Who's man?”

DEG!

My heart is beating fast. I immediately took my bag and closed the trunk.

Half ran after Abah and immediately my steps stopped.

Oh my God, Hengky!

What the hell is he doing here?

My face suddenly turned pale, I hurriedly ran towards Hengky then shouted loudly, saying,

“Hey, Bro! Ooh... want to take on group assignments yesterday huh? Wait here.”

Anyone would know if I had trouble opening the door at this time.

With my trembling hands, the door lock always misses.

The corner of my eye caught Hengky who was being misbehaved. He seems confused as to what to behave. Suddenly meeting Abah might make his brain instantly blank.

Finally open!

Half-running I headed to the room, snatched the task of the group who had no idea what course and what date it was and rushed back to the front.

“What's your name, Son?” Abah patted Hengky's shoulder with a smile.

“Sengky, Om.”

I panicked, while looking at Hengky I as if to say, “Duh... why call ‘Om’?! Call Sir, Iaaangg!”

“Have been here often?”

Me and Hengky automatically looked at each other. My eyes reflexively stared intently at him, giving a warning code.

“Newly this time, Om. I was wrong in someone's room, Om. I guess Naya's room is across, don't know this one.”

Hengky smiled stiffly, he turned his head towards me, “This is his job, Naya?”

“Eh yes. This..”

Ah, goddamn. Even small children will laugh at how bad our acting is. Hengky who kept smiling stiffly and I kept pressing the index finger and thumb simultaneously.

Abah laughed, he patted Hengky on the shoulder again,

“It's hard to get close to Abah's son? Abah's son is not allowed to date. If later Hengky is ready, may later after graduating from college, after getting a job, come home. It is not necessarily accepted anyway.but at least it is more dignified than continue to hope, is not it?”

Hengky scratched his neck, he slightly lowered his head then smiled while looking down. He was caught red-handed.

“Home Hengky where? Here too or how?”

“Gak ngekos, Om. Coincidentally my home is about ten minutes from here.”

“Good. Be careful on the road yes.”

“Eh?”

Without looking at me, he walked to his car.

I don't think I recognized that car. He was using another car.

Ah, naw. Already screwed.

“You like Hengky, Naya?”

Abah asked as he entered Kosan.

I immediately caught up with Abah, poured her a drink and sat a little far away from her,

“No, Bah..”

Abah laughs softly, “You think you can lie to Abah?”

I'm downcast, feeling very guilty, “Sorry..”.

“Inch don't blame you, Naya. All normal people must feel attracted to the opposite sex. It is an essential thing that everyone must have and will feel.

However, you also must have known that God has written the name of your partner, all you need to do is improve the relationship with Him alone. For if you love because of God, your love will never be extinguished.

If you are drunk with love like this even the sky will not be wide enough to stem your feelings, not wide enough to shout his name.

But you know, there is no better solution for two people who love each other than marriage.

Since you are currently unable to get married, then the only solution is to hold her back. Abah knows it's very hard to hold back the feeling of love. Abah used to be like that.

But believe in Abah, the result will be very sweet, commensurate with the struggle that has been done.”

Abah came down and turned to me, “You are not tired of being so?”

I know Abah teased me. He laughed and then stood up immediately,

“Where is a good place to eat? Abah hungry.”

“Change... if... if Hengky who came to propose later... according to Abah how?”.

I dare not look at Abah's face. I turned my eyes down, my hands pressed down on the edge of the shirt.

“That doesn't want to precede destiny, Naya. We leave everything to God. God knows best for you.”

"If...Naya like not married even though it is mature age how, Bah?”

Abah laughs. He shook his head while walking out of the room,

“If you are not married, then you have not found the right person. Simple it.”

I pursued Abah's steps, snatching the bag and the door lock, while locking the door I could not resist denying Abah's words.

After I turned around, Abah smiled and stroked my head,

“Naya, even if you are 30 years old and are not married, understand that you are entitled to someone worthy.

Your soul mate will not be confused with anyone, stop fidgeting and continue your life until he finds you.

Age is just a number, Naya. While maturity is about how you behave.

If you consider thirty and unmarried to be a failure, then remember Abah's words well, that failure is only God's way of saying, ‘be patient, please, I have something more for you’.

It is not easy to be patient, but, indeed anyone who is patient and diligent he will bloom like a flower, will be beautiful like a full moon, and amazing like a butterfly.”
