Tonight the sky is full of stars, but not for a dreamy man. The man was sitting in a park not far from his home. No matter the dark atmosphere around the park.
But the man was engrossed in his turmoil. His eyes were focused in one direction, but his body was still not in line with his heart.
Ilham still chose to stay in the park, after his father begged to forget siti, accepting the woman of their choice. Papa also said he would marry the woman. An unnamed woman, a woman unknown what she looked like.
Tomorrow he and his family will go to Sukabumi. To meet the woman's family, the day after she no longer belongs to Siti. But it belongs to another woman. Ilham tried to contact Siti, apparently active her phone.
"Hello, you. Where are you,ti?"
No answer, just silence. Inspiration is not discouraged, repeatedly tried to contact, but not lifted.
"Ti, please answer! Where are you!"
"Ham" Siti's voice sounded out crying.
"Ti, let's meet. I want to talk about us."
Silence has no answer.
"Ham, the day after tomorrow I'll marry papa's chosen man. I'm sorry I couldn't keep our promise. I'm sorry inspiration."
"Ti, where are you getting married? Let me follow up."
"Sorry, ham. I beg you to understand my situation. We're not a match, ham. I'm sorry, ham."
"After this far, you can easily talk like that. Where you feel, ti. I'm disappointed in you, ti. Okay if that's what you want, the day after tomorrow I'll also marry the woman my parents chose."
"sorry"
ilham slammed the phone, kicked everything nearby. His heart was broken after getting a call from the city. His body felt weak, then again landed his butt in the garden chair. Crying out! that's all he can do right now.
Aaaaaaaaaarrrrgggh
ILham POV
I feel a deep disappointment right now. You asked me to end our relationship. After days of disappearing, you suddenly called asking me to marry another man.
I can what ... I'd love to catch up with you,ti. I'd love to catch up with you to stop your wedding plans.
Do we have to end up like this? Do I have to let you go for the umpteenth time?
This afternoon, papa announced that he would marry me to his friend's son in sukabumi. I don't know why I feel like there's a hidden plan from them. What's their plan? I don't know myself.
Just called me and informed me of her wedding plans with her papa's chosen man. Shock! that's certain. After the long journey of our story, it must now end like this.
Do I have to catch up with him? I don't know where Siti is.
Ti, wherever you are. I hope you know that I'm still waiting for you here. Hope you say that there is no matchmaking in your family. Wishing you to say "inspiration please follow me?", but you forbid me from following you.
You know,ti! It hurts when you ask me to forget what happened between us. As I waited for your news, I went to the apartment for days but your family wasn't home. Suddenly you called and told me you were getting married.
Even more surprising, my father forced me to marry a girl I did not know.
I can what ... invite you to elope! But don't you hate that. I still want to fight with you, ti. I realized that I was not a perfect man. I was a bad person in the past. My image is already bad in your family's eyes.
Zreeet zreeet
I stared at the mobile screen. See who's calling me. Mama, she must be worried waiting for my news. After that I had a chance to argue with papa about the impromptu marriage.
"Ham, where are you, son?"
I heard the tone of anxiety from my mother's voice.
"Ilham at the park near the house, ma."
"Back, kid. Mama knows it's hard for you. You just want to think realistically. Don't get hung up on the uncertain, son."
"It's easy to say that. Papa's choice is also uncertain. Please, ma I'm tired!"
"The woman of our choice is certain, ham. Because he did not reject this marriage plan. Mama's sure you'll like it.Now you go home, mama wants to talk."
I left the park on foot. Because the location is not far from home. 10 minutes walk directly to.
I stared at the fence of my house. Occasional long breaths, trying to solidify the steps to get into the house.
"Mom"
Mama has welcomed me in front of the house, brought a snack and then invited me to sit in the gazebo in front of the house. I sat next to my mom enjoying the snack in front of my eyes.
"Pam. After marriage, you want to see a doctor. Who knows, you are not barren. There could be a problem in your health."
"Goddessa, ma. But does that woman want to accept my condition? I'm afraid she's asking for a divorce."
"Originally you can give him understanding. Mama's sure she can take you."
"Mom have a picture of the girl? What's name?"
"none. Name's Lina. Ham, hopefully this will be the last one, yeah, kid. Mama doesn't want to hear anymore you're chasing another woman after marriage. Now you want to ask me something?"
"What, ma?"
"If you are barren. Then who impregnated Raisa?"
"I don't know, ma. Raisa knows about my shortcomings, but she came to hold me accountable."
"Keep Jihan?"
"Yes, ma. Jihan's sister has admitted that she's pregnant with another man."
"Basically, women have a nrimo nature. Accept any lack of his partner. But most of those who do not accept the lack of their partners are men. Most of them just want to be understood but do not want to understand the situation of their partner.
Mama hope when you get married later you don't do that, yeah. Don't repeat the mistakes you used to make."
The mood tonight was suddenly quiet. Mama hugged me tightly, the words from mama meant a lot to me. In the past, boro-boro I got scorn, there they were very angry with me. Until papa Pramono silences me.
Mama, Papa, the inspiration of the promise will be a good husband. Forgive the inspiration that has disappointed you so much.
Siti, maybe you're right. We're not fools. The proof to this extent that our relationship, you and I still end up with someone else. We've been trying to fight for our love, ti. But it seems like God has other plans.
I opened my phone to send a message. A message that indicates that I sincerely give away siti for another man.
"Assalamualaikum, yes.
Congratulations on a new life.
May this be your last marriage.
Marriage is the gateway to entering a new stage of life, and you have just entered it. With full sincerity I pray that your life will be happy forever. It could be the SAMAWA family forever.
Ting
I saw a double check mark, it indicates that Siti has read it. Tucked there's a chest tightness, maybe you'll call me lebay. But that's how I feel right now.
"Thank you, ham. Hope you get my replacement."
I read the reply from Siti. Quitting! Yes, I have resigned. It's not that I don't want to fight, we've fought. But it seems like blessing is not on both of us.
