Short Stories Romance
STARTING FROM ZERO, HUH?
Tonight I'm preparing for dinner with Monic, my boyfriend. We've been dating for about five years. Our meeting started from first grade High School. Me and Monic were juxtaposed as queens and kings for our army.
Monic is indeed beautiful, it is only natural that the queen predicate falls on her. I did not expect that initially only paired in school, it turned out to continue until now.
Monic and I did not go to college. We choose to work to be independent, because we only come from a simple family.
We have been working for two years. Tonight, I'm going to propose to Monic on our anniversary date. Romantic right?
“Honey, I'll pick you up now! Get ready, huh?”
I sent him a short message.
I wear a slim fit shirt and suit to make it look official but not leave a trendy impression. Darting R25 to Monic's house.
Tong!
I pressed the bell. Not long the door was open.
“Night, Mom? Monic is there?”
“There, please come in!” his mother said, and then opened the door wide.
Step in to meet the heart. I had a beautiful ring set up in a small red box that I hid in my pocket.
Seen Monic is sitting on a cream-colored sofa, she looks beautiful by wearing a pink baby dres.
“Night, Darling? More beautiful,” my bro to Monic.
He smiled without answering anything. What's with him?
“We leave now, yuk?” take me to him.
“Wait a moment again, yes?” pinta Monic's.
I sat on the sofa with a happy heart, because tonight I will formalize the relationship with Monic through engagement. I was ready to do the wedding whenever I wanted.
Tin tin!
The sound of car horns.
Not long after a grown man came to us. Who her? Is that his father?
“Know, Nav. This is Om Indra, my future husband,” said Monic who made me grumble when he heard his words.
“Indra!”
The man extended his hand.
“Naveen.”
We shake hands.
“One more month we are getting married. You're coming, huh?” said Monic who seemed to ignore the pain in this heart.
Expectations that are not in line with reality. Everything was a mess with a broken heart.

Drive vehicles in the dark of the night with accompanying raindrops. More crowded when the motor breaks down because it runs out of gasoline.
“Gosh! Aarrrggghh!!!”
I held my head and slightly ruffled my hair in annoyance.
I had to guide the bike until I found an SPBU that was far enough away.
“Gasoline, Full Mbak!”
“OK! Started from zero huh, Mas?” he was friendly while smiling.
After the gasoline is fully charged. The SPBU employee said the nominal amount I had to pay.
“How about, Mommy? I pulled the bike over because there was a line from behind.
The wallet in the pants pocket was not there. Mobile ‘pun forgot to bring. Oh my God, how am I supposed to?
“Sorry, Ma'am, my wallet is missing. My phone is also left behind, how should I pay?”
It's also impossible if I say go home first to take the money, surely he won't believe it.
“Ya already, Mas wait for my working hours to be completed. Just a little bit more. Later we go home together to take the money Mas left behind.”
Doesn't he believe it?
“Alright!”
I looked at the woman's face. When there is no customer his face is sad but when there is a customer, he can smile kindly as if hiding a wound. I don't know.
Finally the work is done. He entered the room while I sat on the bike. Not on purpose did I reach into the pocket of a suit.
“What is this?” I took a small box in a suit pocket.
“Ring?” My eyes are rounded.
I have an idea, I'm gonna pawn this ring on him. Tomorrow I take it again to make up for it.
The woman also came out of the room. He was seen wearing a jacket and a sling bag, then coming at me.
“Ayok!” bring him.
“Shortly, how about I replace with this as a guarantee? Tomorrow I bring the money back. Can?”
I gave her the engagement ring.
“Asliah!” steady answers.
Sreettts!
Suddenly a black car has blocked my bike. The door opened and a charismatic man descended from inside.
“Ci, I'm sorry. I don't want to marry him!” said the man who just got out of the car, while holding the left hand of the woman who works at SPBU.
“You must marry that woman, Mas. She's pregnant with your child!” answer the woman.
“I just love you, Ci!” A sharp eye is shown by the man.
“Sorry, I already have a future husband. He proposed to me today!”
The woman showed me the engagement ring I was about to give Monic.
“But-“ he said stopped.
“Ayok, Babe!”
The woman suddenly climbed into the back seat. Without a second thought, I darted away from the man. Although in a confused heart, with the call 'Honey' that he suddenly said.
Along the way, I saw from the rearview mirror the tears that kept flowing down her cheeks. Poor thing. That was my initial feeling when I saw what happened to this woman.
I parked the bike and gave her a handkerchief.
“Skyu!”
He began to rub the water that had soaked his cheeks.
“Why crying? If still dear why not just reverse it?” my many.
“There may be a man who has impregnated another woman. So, he chose to marry me? Of course I refuse! However, he must be responsible for his actions," he explained.
Silent.
Maybe he's heartbroken, just like me. Why do I feel sad when I see this woman crying? I forgot the wounds in my heart. Injuries when Monic prefers another man to accompany his life.
“Oh yes, whose name is Ma'am? I'm Naveen,” I said as I reached out.
“Suci!” he answered while taking my hand.

As time passes. Not felt, whether it was the day I had established a relationship with Saints.
I have bought a new ring for Saints. Tonight I decided to propose to Suci at Monic's wedding without her knowledge.
“Ci, I'm going to your house now!”
I sent a short message to Saints who have now become my lovers.
Darting R25 to the Holy House. I decided to propose to her tonight. In just one month, this self had already established a heart for him.
The saint had been waiting for me in the front seat of the house. She looks beautiful with white dres with floral motifs that make her appearance more graceful.
“Ayok!”
“Nav, are you sure you're taking me to your ex's wedding? I'm afraid that-“ said it stopped.
“If why?”
“If you have not moved on from him,” connect Suci.
I smiled and told him to get on the bike. Saints are now sitting in the backseat, we are streaking under the star-studded night sky.
“Ayok down! Do you want me to carry?” I said when I came to Monic's wedding ceremony.
With her lips tapered, she got off the bike.
I tightly clasped the hands of the Holy Bold and stepped into the assurance of Monic, the former.
“Congratulations, yes?” my words to Monic and the man who is now her husband.
“Still,” he replied with a smile.
I looked at the sullen Saint as Monic smiled at me. Could he be jealous?
I pulled Holy hands onto the stage. Now that I and the Saints have come face to face, with a new ring that I have prepared.
“Ci, I want our relationship to continue in the underwriting. I want to prove to you that I've moved on! I want to have a new relationship with you. Like the slogan at your workplace START FROM ZERO, YES?”
I knelt down and presented the ring that was in the red box to her.
“Will you accept my proposal?” my words were greeted with cheers from the invited guests.
“TERIMA ... THANK!!!”
The voice of the one who encouraged me.
Finally Sacred nodded, he had been willing to accept this engagement ring.
Perhaps, there are times when an injured heart can be treated by a heart that is equally injured. May the fabric of our sacred love be anchored in the temple. Unite, live happily until the azal takes life.
