Red Rose-Love In Three Countries

Email from Indonesia

 

"Yes, we'll just wait how Jae-woo and that woman next."

"But we should also help them a little, give them a proper reason to meet each other, something that cannot be denied. In this world there are no coincidences, not even encounters are coincidences, but destiny."

"Later on I'll think again, you take it easy, as long as Jae-woo likes that woman, I make sure he can have her."

"Remember to keep this promise, dear."

"Well, for you and Jae-woo, as long as you're happy, whatever I'll do."

Ting....

A message goes to Yijia's Email account.

Yijia immediately checked her phone, and opened the text box in her Email.

Assalamu'alaikum wr.wb

Hi Syifa, it's Dimas. I hope you haven't forgotten this village guy like me, he....

Syifa how are you? fortunately, that time asked for your email address, he....

We miss you so much here, Syifa.

Without you, everything doesn't feel the same, this heart is completely empty. Yijia smiled, reading every thread of the word Dimas wrote, amused and funny, that was what she thought because Dimas was trying to seduce her.

Yijia continued to scroll through the email plan from Dimas, until she came to a word....

Dear Syifa, this is Auntie. Auntie here with Humair misses you so much, I hope you're okay there.

Syifa, Bibi loves you so much, so do the people in the Village, they miss you so much too, we look forward to your return dear.

Oh yea... Yusuf and Bi Asih also greet you, said *they, may Syifa always be healthy and happy there. They miss you as much as we do, Syifa.

And Ustadz Rahim will marry tomorrow, with Fatimag the son of his Master. Even though you can't attend, Ustadz Rahim hopes Syifa will give her do'a and blessing, at her wedding tomorrow.

There are many things that Auntie wants to write down, and reveal to you, but it seems like enough to get here first. Bibi didn't mean to burden Syifa by sending this message, Bibi just wanted Syifa to know that we were here so expecting Syifa to be back soon, but we also understand that Syifa's responsibility as a grandchild is paramount. For that we can only convey our feelings, even if it does not materialize. May Syifa be healthy and happy always there.

Greetings from all of us here

Wassalamu'alaikum wr.wb*

Not feeling Yijia's tears begin to flow, wetting her face, her lips trembling withholding her sobs. He smiled bitterly, feeling very grateful for getting so much love, but also feeling sad because the man he liked would get married tomorrow.

"Lord...What kind of auction is this? why is it always my heart broken. I've always defeated destiny, every man I like, goes to marry another woman. Is this a coincidence, or a curse for me?" yijia muttered to herself

After her crying subsided, Yijia wrote a reply to Dimas and her aunt in Indonesia.

* Assalamu'alaikum wr.wb

Wa'alaikumussalam

For you Dimas

First of all Syifa said many thanks to Dimas, you are a good friend and always friendly, Syifa loves you all very much.

Wa'alaikumussalam for his greetings, also say my greetings to the villagers, Syifa here also misses you.

Hope to meet again someday, with happiness.

Aunty, Humair, Uncle Amat, Syifa misses you so much. Thank you for your understanding and all, for all your support and prayers. Syifa really apologized for not being able to return now.

May Auntie, Humair, Aunt Asih, Brother Yusuf, Dimas and all always be healthy and happy.

Happy new life, and may the marriage be smooth tomorrow, for Ustadz Rahim and the future Wife. Sorry for not being able to attend, hopefully being the family of Sakinah, Mawaddah, Warahmah.

Forgive Syifa, for not being able to write everything down.

"Yijijiah? you why?"

Jixu suddenly entered Yijia's room dalsm, she immediately sat down beside Yijia who was crying in silence.

"Jixu.hiks...."

"What's wrong? is there something that makes you sad?"

"I'm just missing Bibi in Indonesia, they've been really nice to me."

"What's so good? what about me, am I not good?"

"Jixu. It's not like that, I miss them because now we're no longer together. Not because you want to compare...."

Yijia had not yet finished her words, Jixu hurriedly cut her off.

"Yes, I know, I'm just kidding. Don't grieve Yi, they will understand, they must also wish Yijia they were happy here." Jixu tried to comfort Yijia, she felt sad when she saw her cousin crying.

"Thank you Jixu, you've always been there for me. Oh yeah, you're not working today?" yija said as she blocked the tears on her face.

"I'm going to work, but there's something I want to tell you. "

"Something? what's?"

"So Dad ordered you to go to the company. He said there's someone who wants to see you, so we'd better get together today."

"Who? is it really important?"

"I don't know, Yi. Now you better take a shower and get ready, Dad's gone first. I'll wait for you downstairs, finish the breakfast and leave." Jixu explained as he walked away, out of Yijia's room.

"Hufh.... What's wrong? so curious." muttered Yijia while walking into the bathroom.

After finishing the bath and served, Yijia immediately went to Jixu who was waiting for her in front of the table.

"Sorry, long time?" Yijia was sitting next to Jixu

"It's okay, take it easy, we still have 5 minutes before we leave."

"Oh well."

"Yes, eat breakfast first, don't daydream."

"Yes bringel."

.....

"Auntie, we're leaving first."

"Yes, be careful on Yi road, Jixu.

"Yes Mother, we're leaving now" said Jixu as he got into the car, followed by Yijia who was tailing behind him.

"Ah... children are now adults, sooner or later they will surely start to find their own way. I must prepare to let them go, build their own families, later." muttered Jixu's mother, her eyes twinkling, accompanying the departure of the car that took Jixu and Yijia, away.

"Jixu, I'm nervous."

"Calm down, Yi. No one's gonna eat you there, let alone be with you later." Jixu lightly stroked the back of Yijia, who was sitting beside her.

"justified? but I'm still scared, what if I get the wrong word?"

"Mispeak also, does not mean it can not be justified, Yi. Come on relax, there I am, I will take care of you."

"Thank you Jixu."
