Should We Get Married?

Go home

"Is everything going to be okay?" I asked Juan who was sitting in the passenger seat right next to me.

"Think positive Nan, everything will be fine

The red lion plane just landed at YIA Airport located in Kulonprogo. After picking up the suitcase in the trunk, Juan and I separated. We agreed to meet again in a week when we will go back to Jakarta. But if anything is important, he'll call me.

I took a taxi to a house not too far from the airport. Only twenty minutes from the airport if you are in a vehicle. Along the way I did not stop saying God's asthma to calm down. Somehow the reaction of father, mas Yuda and mbak Tika later. Will they be surprised, or angry when they see me?

Not felt, due to daydreaming, it turns out the taxi has stopped in front of my house is very simple. The house looked different, more shabby, probably because the paint had not been replaced and the plants in the small yard were mostly dead. There are only two big pots of bougainvillea. It molts.

Not as usual. Yuda's father and father usually paint the walls of the house twice a year. Mbak Tika himself is most diligent in tidying up the plants. He will never forget to clean the weeds, take care that the flowers do not dry let alone die.

"Assalamualaikum" I said, standing at the door. Waiting for someone to welcome me. "Assynolajet. Dad, Yuda, it's Tika!" I made more noise, while looking inside.

"Dye?" suddenly there was a father's voice from the side of the house. Apparently dad just finished tidying up the side of the broken house. "Oh my God, it seems like I'm getting no better. Now I see my daughter coming home. Astagfirullah. It must be a hallucination." Said father, rubbing his face.

"Dad ... Daddy's not hallucinating, it's Ayu yah!" I ran into my father's arms. For a moment there was no reply from father, but after he held my head, the sound of crying broke. He called my name repeatedly.

"Dye. Is this right Ayu? Oh, my God, son, come on!" Dad was crying, a bitter cry from holding back the longing for his youngest daughter. Seeing a father like this makes me feel so guilty. But at that time I was so cowardly, so I chose to disappear until I was strong enough to face everything.

After taking off a short longing, the father called the mas Yuda, mbak Yuni, mbak Tika and her husband mas Hadith. I am really happy with the news of Tika's marriage even though it has been going on since six years ago.

"You're the Yu, just disappeared. You don't know who to tell you about the wedding, mbak." Tika said while holding back tears. Even so, he still ended up crying because he was not strong enough to hold haru. Fortunately, Tika's husband was immediately on standby rubbing his wife's back to strengthen.

The atmosphere was felt in our living room. Ms. Tika told me how panicked they were when they heard from Bagas that I had filed for divorce. Even more shocking, he said that I was missing.

'we really messed up, Yu. Dad and Yuda go to Jakarta three times. Make a report of your loss to look to places that according to the story Bagas you have been to, but you do not exist.

In addition, my father also became ill. Dad dropped, didn't want to eat, lost the spirit of life. The days were just daydreaming while crying thinking about the fate of his most beloved daughter." Said mbak Tika. "Why don't you go home anyway, Yu? Mbak knew at that time the burden of your mind must be very much until finally decided to divorce Bagas. But sadly you don't want to share your story with a family who obviously loves you very much, Yu"

"Sorry mom, sorry ..." I cried in Tika's arms. "you know, if only I had the courage, I also want to go home soon, mom. But I'm afraid to be a burden on my family. That's why I decided to leave. I don't want to be a burden on dad, mom and dad anymore. I want to prove that I am not a weak person, I can also survive and go back to my life well. That's why I need some time to brave myself to come back to this house."

"Then where have you been all this time, Yu?" Ask me Yuda. "Is everything okay? It won't be easy living your own life."

"Yes mas. But thank God for the good of God to Ayu. Allah eases the way of Ayu. For eight years Ayu worked hard to prove to everyone that Ayu seriously wanted to become a doctor and Alhamdulillah finally ayu can realize this goal." I said

'

"Well, Ayu has graduated from medical school. Ayu is now a doctor!" I said. "Tomorrow if Dad is sick, allow Ayu to take care of Fatimah ya." I asked.

It was my turn to tell the family about how I finally left Bagas' life.I also closed the access so he could not search.

Meanwhile, I continued college in accordance with the ideals.until now I managed to become a doctor. "Alhamdulillah now Ayu has been practicing in the local hospital in Depok."

"O Allah Yu, Thank God, be grateful, but you must have worked so hard to make it happen.We are really proud, son!" Again, father and father Judah Mbak Tika appreciate the achievements that I have scored.

"Then how did you finance your college, Yu? considering the tuition and not a bad kid

I'm silent. I dare not say that Juan paid for it all. Somehow their reaction will be. To be honest, to be honest, I don't have the guts yet. Afraid to make this atmosphere so ugly because somehow my father and family feel here if they know.

"Yes, I worked hard. Or maybe it can be a student duty, which is clear Ayu has worked hard enough so please do not need to discuss anymore unimportant things." said Yuni reminded.

"It's okay, though. What is clear is that InshaAllah is safe" I said.

"Alhamdulillah" answered the Father, followed by the brothers.

***

I have been home for two days, but I dare not say it all. I'm afraid Dad's back sick if he knows everything to fill my free time diligently cooking, invite me to chat.

There are a lot of things I want to do, but it all takes time.

"Sir, how fatal are the mistakes of people we can't forgive." I'm fishing.

"hmmm what is it? I'm confused too." Said mbak Tika.

"If that man ever ruined our lives, but he didn't. Then we fell in love with her, How" I said that I pretended there was a Kibapeen minute.
