Second Destiny

23

A week passed, Afnan was still in a mess with the decision to cancel his matchmaking with Ayu which is now deadlocked. Somehow the Ayu family especially the two Ayu parents do not want the matchmaking was canceled even though there was an agreement before it. Mama Rana also dizzy thinking about it and again she felt guilty to see her son who again showed his grim face like seven years ago when Nayya married Risam.

Afnan tries to talk to Ayu alone. Want to know how Ayu's true feelings or desires. But Ayu refused any meeting with Afnan. Like his family Ayu has warned Ayu for this. Afnan can only dizzy himself.

Want her sense of blaming her mommy but then again it's impossible for her respect for her mommy's. My mother gave birth to him in this world.. Her mom just wants the best for her even without thinking about the consequences later.

“White, again I made her sad.” Rana said to papi Riyad who is also now just silent not commenting on anything that happened. He knew his wife was wrong because she was always in a hurry. But now if this is so then it is also free to find who is wrong. Because the important thing now is how to find a way out.

“Already. No need to blame yourself. We didn't know this was gonna happen. It's better now that we think everything's okay. We cannot continue the matchmaking when Afnan does not want it.” said papi Riyad sage.

“Mami is also thinking about it pih. But Rudi and Luvia did not understand this. Somehow they broke the agreement I agreed when applying for the matchmaking.” said Rana mami.

“For that this will be a lesson for us. That no one can be trusted just like that. Trust is hard to get. Even the agreed terms can be denied. But it also makes me confused why they do this. Not that Afnan said, Ayu also did not want this matchmaking. But now Ayu has even agreed to continue the matchmaking. It's like there's a big conspiracy.” Papi Riyad.

Mami Rana who heard her husband's words nodded, “What papi said is the same as what I thought. I don't know what changed their minds so still want to continue the matchmaking with our son.” Rana's mother was confused to think about the possible reasons Ayu's family still kekeh continued the matchmaking when she knew that their children did not like each other. But the longer the more thought never get the answer.

“Why are mami and papi confused at the thought of his reasons? No wonder why the Ayu family does not want to cancel this match. Not that my brother is already established. Already have their own business and brother has turned into more religious again. Which parent does not want his child to marry an older brother.” Said Efnan who suddenly came with Ivana behind her. I don't know why the two brothers could come together. But one thing was certain when they heard the news that there was a problem with Afnan's matchmaking, they immediately slid towards their parents' residence.

Mami Rana and papi Riyad can only smile thinly to welcome the sudden arrival of their two children. Efnan and Ivana immediately greeted their parents alternately and immediately sat on the sofa in front of Rana's mami and Riyad's papi.

“So where's Mih?” ivana asked, glancing at her sister's room.

“She's gone son. Maybe in his shop.” replied papi Riyad.

“Why didn't papi and mami say that they wanted to cancel the matchmaking with Ayu's family to us?” efnan asked, looking at the two old men.

“We don't want to burden you guys. This is our business that still has responsibility for your brother. After all you already have your own family which is certainly more important for you.” said Mami Rana.

Ivana who heard his mother's speech was hissing dislike, “Ck, what kind of words is Mih. Even though we have our own family. It's still our sister's business too. We want to see my sister happy. Honestly, we feel guilty for my brother. We've found our own family but he hasn't been up to now.” Ivana.

“No need to feel guilty deck. Brother is sincere and happy to see you guys happy with your own family. This is a life and sister love story that is like her very winding. But of course brother is happy to live his.” said Afnan suddenly came and immediately joined the parents and his two younger brothers.

“Kakak!” ivana said spoiled. Although Afnan's youngest brother had become the mother of two children but still he was spoiled to Afnan and Efnan.

Afnan was stunned to look at his two sisters who looked at him with a guilty look, “Hey, do not look at me like that. I'm doing fine. Just relax this matter is nothing to me.” Afnan.

“Ck, sister again wants to look strong in front of us. Don't hide your prestige, brother in front of us. You can cry in front of us. We promise we won't embarrass you.” Ivana said again hissing did not like to hear the speech of her eldest brother who was impressed to hide his own sadness.

“Iya brother. What Ivana said is true. You don't have to hide your sadness. It's enough you passed fine all this time.” continued Efnan staring at the brother.

Afnan who heard the words of his two sisters also chuckled, “Crust I am fine.” said Afnan.

“So's lying again.” Ivana said.

“Nak, forgive us.” said mami Rana sadly.

Afnan who heard his mother's words smiled then shook his head, “Don't feel sad mih. I'm really fine.” Afnan said.

“If it is aunty Luvia and om Rudi want this matchmaking to continue then follow it. I will continue my matchmaking with Ayu as agreed before.” continued Afnan.

“Kaakk!” ivana Protest.

Afnan smiled then shook his head, “So I don't know you're worried but it's like this sister's path.” Afnan.

“What brother will continue this matchmaking without love and liking in his? Do you think we can live without love. It is true that love is not everything and can grow over time. But with such a strong love in my heart for sister Nayya, I believe cultivating or accepting another love in my heart is very difficult. If it was easy, it would have been seven years it could have been a healer and an eraser of it. But the real thing isn't, is it? So I beg you not to play around with the feeling of kak.” Efnan.

“What brother will give up for brother feelings to brother Nayya? It was not my sister who asked me not to hate and blame my sister Nayya for the condition of my brother at that time. Then now when there is a second chance to achieve love that was released from the grasp of it, brother will just give up?” connect Ivana.

“What does? I don't understand your plan, brother?” ivana was confused.

“I want to bet with feeling again this time. I'm sure Ayu will definitely make the right decision later. She's just like me who doesn't want this match. So like this road is indeed the best way.” Afnan.

“Do not bet on things that do not have a big chance or even the odds are only small because it is just as stupid. We won't get any victory from there. That's the same as betting on an impossibility.” Efnan Timpal.

Afnan who heard his sister's words smiled, “This is the only way we can do.” Afnan.

“We'll find another way, son. We don't want you to get caught up in a fate you don't want. The soul mate has been determined but the path to reach our own is determined. Don't do that.” said Mami Rana.

“Mih, no need to worry about anything. I'm sure everything will go smoothly.” Afnan.

“What if it doesn't go smoothly. Doesn't everything fit with what you imagined, son? Until the wedding, Ayu still kekeh continued his.” said papi Riyad.

“What sister is ready to lose brother Nayya for during her. Nayya is a widow of three children. But that status has no influence. He's still Nayya's brother we know. I still want her to be my sister-in-law. Don't do this, brother. We don't want you to do something that will trap you into a destiny you don't want.” Connect Ivana.

“What did your sister say, son. Don't commit stupidity and make decisions in a hurry. Do not repeat mami.” error said mami Rana.

Afnan who listened to it also smiled back, “Afnan's decision is already round will take this matter mih, pih. You guys just believe it. This time I want to bet on fate again.” Afnan.

“Kaak!” ivana Protest.

Afnan shook his head at the sign he had already made his decision and would not change it again.

“Alright, if that is your decision. We hope you won't regret it later. You took this decision.” said papi Riyad, who was embraced by Afnan.

Finally decided to continue the matchmaking Afnan and Ayu, “Mami immediately tell aunt Luvia da nom Rudi that we agree to the matchmaking in continue.” Pinta Afnan's.

“You sure nak?” ask Mami Rana again. Really, he feels guilty about this. He seemed to be a hindrance to the happiness of his eldest son. If destiny is still not in favor of his son then believe the most sad person is himself as a mother who feels failed to deliver one child to achieve his happiness.

Afnan nodded and looked at the parents and two younger siblings with a smile. He can only pray that this time fate will take his side and everything will go according to what he has calculated, “I don't want to make you sad. You are my family. I also want to get my happiness. Hopefully this way can be a way for me to reach for love Nayya.” Inner Afnan.

***

A week later, the end after Afnan's decision a week ago to approve his matchmaking with Ayu was continued. Now everyone is busy with the preparation of the engagement, especially Ayu's family who are very enthusiastic about it. If on the side of the family Afnan has been made sure there is no enthusiasm at all. They are like water that just goes with the flow. All his preparations were handed over to the Ayu family. They only know they agree.

“Pah .. This is Ayu and Afnan's engagement invitation which will be carried out in three days.” Said Mama Fara who just arrived from the minimarket Nayya. It was Mama Fara who did the checking for Nayya's business. Nayya is only at home during her iddah period. If you go out must use his car and it was only to visit the tomb of the husband to read the surah there.

“So what engagement will it do?” asked papa Imran just glanced at the engagement invitation that Mama Fara put on the table in front of her.

Mama Fara nodded, “Hum, so it is.” Answer mama Fara.

“Already. If so, we are grateful. Pity also Afnan who has not married at his age even though his two children are married and already have children as well. Maybe it's not our daughter's soul mate either. We also do not need to be too hopeful for that.” said papi Imran.

Mama Fara nodded again even though honestly she was a little disappointed in what happened. He hopes that Afnan and Nayya will have a second destiny. She knows how her eldest daughter has a relationship with Afnan but her destiny alone does not want them together. It has all been the secret of destiny. No need to be disappointed.

“Pah, Nayya where?” mama Fara asked looking around.

“Like her in her room.” replied papa Imran.

Mama Fara nodded in understanding, “Don't until she knows this is a reward. Even though we know he's mourning Risam's death but still he can't know this news. Just let time tell itself.” Said mama Fara who was nodded by papi Imran.

While in Nayya's room, she heard what her mom and dad were talking about because the room was not soundproof. He who heard that smiled.

“May you be happy with your choice, Afnan. I wish you the best. I also missed a promise made by my husband. We have no destiny to be together.” Nayya muttered sincerely.
