It's night time
when Brenda arrived at her mother's house. He parked his car in the yard, then
enter after greeting mom with a bland smile. Brenda to her room and
let go of all the turmoil of his heart. He threw his body on the bed
with glaring eyes. His heart was completely uncertain.
There was a knock on the door from outside.
“Nda... open the door..” call mama.
“Before a while, Ma...” Brenda got up from the fall opened the door.
Mama smiled faintly as the door opened and looked at Brenda in the shade.
“You haven't had a shower?”
Brenda shook her head slowly with a tired facial expression.
“Why you? How come his face is so haggard?”
“Nothing, Ma,” replied Brenda briefly.
“Then you take a shower first. Mom is waiting for you in the living room. Today
Dedy came to propose to you,”
Brenda was surprised by widening her eyes.
“Dedy proposes to Brenda?” firm with a frown.
“Iya, Darling.. Don't let Dedy wait too long. He's been since
ashar's waiting. Mama wait under ya,” Linda moved from Brenda's room.
After the door closed again, Brenda let out a heavy sigh. He's not at all
thinking about Dedy's proposal which is considered too early. Brenda rush
clean his body and change his clothes. A few minutes later he came out
met Dedy and some of the people he was with.
“Nda...” greet Dedy while standing.
Brenda's eyes circled around the living room. There are two men
and two women wearing a headscarf. There were several boxes brought
them. Don't know what it is. Brenda's smile looked stiff and cold. Then
he sat next to his mother.
“Nda... Dedy wants to propose to you. We as parents only listen
your decision,” papa Brenda starts the conversation.
“Iya, Nda.. Mama also wants the best for you,”
Brenda bowed.
“How, Nda...?” ask Dedy later.
“Do you have to be this fast?”
“I won't wait long, Nda..”.
“Alright.
requests you must fulfill,”
“What is it, Nda?”
Brenda took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly..
“The problem I am facing right now is so hard and hard to solve
by oneself. I've used some money to pay off my debt and now
I have to give that money back. Can you pay off my debts?”
“I can,” replied Dedy steady.
Brenda looked at Dedy with determination and conviction. He wonders
in his heart was Dedy really the soul mate God had given him.
“I will meet all your needs, Nda..”.
Brenda scowled her saliva, but said nothing. He looked at the second
his parents who were just smiling a sign of agreement.
“How, Nda? You accepted my proposal?”
Brenda flinching. He just enjoyed a bathin defeat
within him. Is this really the love he chose? Is that man really capable
guiding him in the family?
Brenda shuffled from her seat towards the room. It should be muffled
all the emotions of his soul were shackled by the words of marriage. Married to
a man whose status is unknown.
Mom knocked on Brenda's door, mother,
then enter after being invited. Mama looked at her daughter's face with a sting. His face is the same
it does not describe happiness.
“What's wrong with you, actually,
The nda? Dedy has proposed to you, what else have you contemplated?” Mamamenghampiri Brenda and sit in
beside him.
“Hhhh Brenda sighed
There's not a shred of love in Brenda's heart,”
“Nda... Love can be you
clean up after you get married. Many people are also happy with a marriage
parent,”
“Maa... It's about the heart.
Love cannot be used for a marriage. Brenda is confused
facing all this,”
Mama tried to make sure
back to Brenda's heart.
“Try you guys approach first
from this moment. Maybe that love will grow as you plan your day
wedding, or order invitation card,”
Brenda moved from her seat
towards the room window. Look at the mango trees growing in the yard
neighbor. Then he sighed heavily while looking at his mother.
“Brenda will try, Ma...
Is this just Brenda's feeling,”
“Mama sure you have love
by Dedy. He is a handsome man and has a good job. Him
a doctor, Nda..”.
“Brenda knows, Ma. But good looks
it doesn't guarantee everything,”
“Already, Nda... Not you
predilection. Mama wants you to get married to Dedy. When you order
invitation card? Wedding dress and wedding ring?”
“No plans yet, Ma.
Maybe the day after,”
“Alright then. Mama
want to prepare a dress for your wedding day and all tell
kinsmen,” Mama out
from Brenda's room. He was very excited about his daughter's marriage. Yet
Brenda was very hard to accept the man.
Brenda notices the wedding ring in the storefront with Dedy. Again, he was not comfortable being around
Dys. Maybe it's because they don't see each other all the time, or feelings
Brenda is confused thinking about Maryati's money.
In the middle of Dedy
picking and pinning a wedding ring, suddenly a woman
young approaches them and crashes Dedy all out. Brenda was shocked and confused. Turns out
the woman was Dedy's wife who was abandoned in the city of Padang with a
his two-year-old son.
The woman grabbed the ring
which will be pinned to Brenda's finger, then rebuke Dedy emotionally.
“You're okay, Ded?!”
“Ratna?” Dedy's eyes widened
seeing his wife's presence.
“You want to marry a woman
this is?! Where's your responsibility, Ded?! I'm your wife and this is our son.!”
Brenda gnashed his spit
stay away from Dedy. He looked at the woman with a kalud.
“Ratna...? What are you
do here?”
“You asked me? As
a wife I have an instinct that you fuck around here! Eyebrows
the basket! I don't want you to remarry, Ded!”
After hearing the noise
from Dedy's wife, Brenda steps away and leaves. His heart was so sore.
Brenda thanked me for
knowing who Dedy really is. In the cab that took him home, Brenda
moody and sad. His eyes spread to make a puddle of clear water.
