She's my husband, brother!

CHAPTER 24. HIM AND NOT ME!

“You are sure of what you just said?” asked Mr. Heru glaring sharp eyes.

“Iya Sir, even I am very sure..,”

“Mm. sorry Pa, Jasmine to the bathroom first. Kebelet..,” while grinning Melati interrupted Aris's speech then hunted – to flee.

Bu Hilda was silent only to be able to look at Melati's back which in an instant had already disappeared. Now the view turns to Dona and occasionally turns to her husband.

Dona just dares to bow her head. His heart was pounding erratically. His mind was also raging, whether he should be happy with Aris's words or vice versa.

Because Dona still doubts Aris' love. Who exactly does he love. More and more days she feels that Aris has nothing to save her love just pity after hearing the reality about Dona.

A quiet atmosphere was present between them. The wind that caressed Dona's cheek was unable to make her shady. He kept flicking his – fingers like a man in rage.

“For this problem we should talk at home only. So later tonight I wait at home,” said Mr. Heru broke the silence that ambushed them.

“Good Om, God willing I will come with my parents as an introduction,” said Aris with a smile.

“Okey, will I wait for your goodwill.”

“Absolute Om. Then I'll go there first Om, Auntie. Don..,” while smiling Aris said goodbye.

Dona sighed softly after Aris passed. Then he said goodbye to Mama and her Papa to catch up with Melati who had not returned from the bathroom.

Not even until Dona to the bathroom, her steps must be stopped by the scenery that makes her flabbergasted. Dona quickly turned her body.

Due to high curiosity, Dona slowly walked closer behind the wall. He tries to eavesdrop on the conversation between Aris and Melati.

Dona sharpened her ears and focused on what they were talking about.

“Mel! Please, don't treat me like this.”

“I've said right, if I DON'T have any feelings for Brother?”

“And that's a lie, right?! You gave up on Dona! You are willing to sacrifice your own feelings just to make Dona happy.”

“Enough Brother! Once again I reiterate with Brother, I DON'T HAVE any feelings for Brother! Excuse me.”

Melati put her foot away from Aris. But Aris pulled Melati's hand and said, “Later tonight my parents and I will come to propose to you NOT Dona.”

Melati instantly turned her body, staring at Aris for a moment. Then Melati pleads with Aris not to disappoint the sincere Dona wholeheartedly giving her love to Aris.

“But Mel!”

“Kak! I beg. Please!” pinta Jasmine.

“But Mel, I just love you. Until whenever this heart is only for you,” said Aris.

Melati jerked her hand to release Aris' hand grip. Without answering anything Melati immediately left Aris to leave.

While Dona still covered her mouth with both hands to hold her sobs so as not to be heard by them.

After he listened to the conversation between Melati and Aris, there was a sting that rained down to the deepest recesses of the heart. Bak's been stabbed by thousands of arrows.

With tears Dona ran away from the graduation location. Directly take a taxi that happened to stop in front of the gate.

The driver occasionally looks from his rearview mirror.

“Mbak! Usually, if a new person finishes graduation, his face is cheerful, this is how the mother even cry?” ask the Driver.

“Hee, yes Sir. This is a happy cry sir," said Dina while grinning.

“Oh.. I see,” says Mr. Driver again.

“Pak! We go to the Tomb Park which is near the crossroad before the bridge yes,” pinta Dona.

“Oh good Mbak.”

Dona's gaze was deep into the clouds from behind the windshield of the taxi car that carried her while occasionally wiping away tears that never seemed to want to stop flowing.

While Melati with her parents are busy looking there – here where Dona is. They split up looking for Dona but found her nowhere.

“OK, we go home,” says Papa Melati.

They immediately walked towards the parking lot. Then get in the car.

“Assalamu’alaikum, Mbok. Dona has nyampe?” Ask Bu Hilda to Mbok Suti.

“Wa’alaikumsalam, not Bu,” replied Mbok Suti.

“H..Ma, it looks like Melati knows where Kak Dona went?”

“Where?”

“Ke grave parents Kak Dona.”

“Keep why he didn't talk to Mama, same Papa. We can all join the pilgrimage to the grave of his parents,” said Bu Hilda a little upset.

“Ma! Maybe he wants to break all his heart. He does not want to be heard by anyone,” said Mr. Heru.

“But Pa..,”

“It's Ma, let Dona. Love him a little freedom, anyway all this time he always obeyed whatever Mama said. Anything! He never denied,” said Mr. Heru.

“Ma, B.. Jasmine up first yes,” said Melati while stepping her legs.

***

Dona sat next to the graves of her parents while rubbing her navel. With a soft voice and laid out – bricks by holding back her tears she said, “Ma, Pa. see, Dona has achieved what Dona dreams of since childhood and with the best value. Hopefully this can make Mama and Papa proud.”

Occasionally there was the sound of sobs, then he fell silent. Keep looking at the three pillars lined up before him at this moment.

“Dona can only give this, and also do’a who never break - break it for Mama, Papa, and also Danish. I hope you are happy there and Dona can be happy here. Although, sometimes what we want, we expect not everything can be achieved. Maybe God has a better plan for us. Dona said goodbye Ma, Pa..,”

Dona got up from her seat, then stepped up with a sad smile she said, “Dah Danish, Big brother say yes.”

Dona left the cemetery and returned home.

***

“Sayang.. Where have you been until this hour just got home? Mama is worried once arrived – just arrived you disappeared without saying goodbye,” sergeant Bu Hilda when Dona entered the house.

“Ma.. Let Dona clean herself up first, take a break. Later if it is new..,” said Mr. Heru.

“Still Yes Pa, Ma.. Dona went up first,” said to Dona and went straight to her room.

“Is.. Papa this. Mama is worried,” whispered Bu Hilda again after Dona left. Mr. Heru just smiled.

The night that was waiting finally arrived. Aris along with his parents came to Melati's house to celebrate and convey what became Aris's wish.

Although Melati's parents are still a little confused and hesitant about her son's answer, they still welcome Aris and her parents kindly.

They gathered in the living room. After they knew each other finally Aris's father conveyed their intentions and goals to visit the Kemalya family residence.

Dona and Melati looked at each other when her father Aris said, “So our intention of arrival was to propose one of the daughters of the Father to be our daughter-in-law.” Aris's father pointed to Dona.

Melati and Dona were just as shocked back then. Melati's heart felt a little relieved, then she smiled faintly at Aris while nodding her head.

Dona smiled too. But arrived – arrived when all fell silent with a strengthening heart Dona said, “Sorry! Maybe the person Om and Aunt mean is DIA and NOT ME.”

After saying that Dona immediately ran to his room.
