Tarnished On The Bride's Night

He Must Know Who I Am!

Because he was uncomfortable with the surrounding conditions, Alif stood up to leave a group of pious people around him.

Alif did not bother with people who were looking at him because he became the earliest participant to leave the assembly. Perhaps some worshippers also consider him a rogue youth who does not like to listen to religious advice and kindness.

This fact made him isolated. Stranger to yourself and his feelings lately have completely changed. Especially since he did a vile thing to a girl on his first night—which then made his days become unsettled.

“If they knew it would definitely kill me.”

Alif had intended, one day he would definitely surrender. But if she had made sure that Dara was a widow and only loved her.

Alif thought being in a holding cell for five or ten years didn't make him too old. Stupidity with people's judgments towards him later, what cares about them?!

All of this was due to his error, incited by someone's mouth. He's Jack, one of his close friends who can be said to behave a bit misguided.

“Supposed to find a wife first, just woke up home,” said Jack one day at Alif's house. The man who was the same age as Alif was looking around the house building in vain because no one occupied it.

“Lantas if you can be placed where?” Alif responded.

“Oh yes, yes?” Jack then thought. There was also a truth to what Alif had said just now.

Then he went back to the core problem they were discussing since then. Not intentionally talking about it, just a coincidence. “Yakin, do not faint after seeing our loved ones with other men?”

“I was invited,” replied Alif staring blankly.

“You can reason.”

“I want to see it for the last time.”

“Yes, an Alif to the same love women. There are still many beautiful girls out there, Al!” he was a little jolting at the end of the sentence. Jack is anxious because Alif becomes no longer exciting because of a woman who does not know herself and is not sensitive to the feelings of her friend. Because of his father, he became such a pathetic figure.

Jack is back. “I even envy you because many are chasing without having to bother. Try if I? Just look at it, women do not want.”

“But Hilman said I was not worthy of being with his daughter,” Alif said later. Face pale. Very pale and alarming. Ever since being insulted by the old man, he could almost never smile again. Alif completely forgot the last time he smiled, because the words hurt her so much and made her lose confidence. 

“Forget what that old jackfruit said, Al!” jack said he did not want alif to constantly fall. But it seems useless—because no matter how he gives advice, it will still never be able to solve the problem because it is about love.

“I was quite shaken,” Alif said after a while later.

“Try to start a new relationship with another girl. Perhaps it can patch up your pain.”

“Have been repeatedly, but instead I feel guilty myself for simply thinking of them as an impingement.”

“I'm sad to see you, Al. Hopefully quickly move on, it's scary to see your face so. You are actually cooler if you can take care of yourself and try to live happier.”

“I want to be like this so that no girl likes me other than ..” Alif hangs up his lines letting Jack figure out for himself which woman he means.

“But in fact?” Jack stretched out both hands.

Alif nodded confirming the words of his best friend, “Do you think I look very bad?” pause for a moment, he added, “in any terms.”

“Other people might think so. But to me, you look ordinary.”

But on the sidelines of the conversation, suddenly Alif's mind was fixed on the figure of Chandra and Dara who would soon be happy. “Arggrgrgrgrh! I really don't want Chandra to have my girl. I can't imagine his goddamn body touching him first, damn it!” his curse.

Alif shakes. I disagree with Jack's words. He realized that the door was closed from the beginning. And Alif regretted—why only found a dead end.

“What do you do if there is my post?” alif asked while pointing at his friend's chest. “Please use a feeling. Imagine if Tone your lover, married to another man.”

“If it is about Nada, of course I will take it. Surely I'll fuck her first so she has no choice.”

“It's crazy!” alif said immediately with a jerking tone.

“I just answered your question. What harm? Everyone is free to argue.”

“But you said just now, not all we can have.”

“This is about Nada, Al. Tone everything to me.”

Alif sontak. “Means we're the same, stupid!”

Jack then grimaced. It turns out that making friends is always easier than living it.

Right on the night of the reception, for the first time too she downed an illicit drink that almost made her lose her sanity. In order not to get too late in its destruction that night. 

Actually Alif did not really want to carry out this crazy mission even though he was so vengeful to the old man.

But he was again irritated because when he finished meeting Dara, he was immediately expelled by security because he was suspected of making a mess. I don't know who told them. But Alif believes this has something to do with his and Hilman's previous meetings.

Alif could not resist his embarrassment anymore because he was kicked out in front of a lot of people. Yudha and Vita did not know because they were busy taking care of their children elsewhere.

Alif's emotions are uncontrollable, likely due to the influence of alcohol. Late at night Alif returned and invited cooperation with the people in the. At first they insisted on refusing, but the currency always ruled above everything else until finally the tragedy actually happened. Which then turned his life path in the other direction.

***

It's been Dara lying all night. But now his body is more powerful than yesterday morning. Last night, he was also able to swallow food little by little. It was likely that if his condition continued to improve, tomorrow he would already be able to get out of this cramped and boring space.

It is true what healthy people say is expensive. But maybe there is good luck in getting sick to stay away first with Chandra who is currently behaving very annoyingly.

“Let him be confused looking for me. I'll stay away from him as he wants,” he murmured. “Now I have to sell expensive. He should know who I am. It was as if he treated me this way. Just be careful if he is sick, I will definitely reply!”

He had indeed deliberately blocked Chandra's number for quite some time. That's why Chandra can't reach him.

“Good morning, Miss Dara,” greet a doctor and also a nurse who entered by bringing at once breakfast and medicines that must be consumed this morning.

“Morning too, Doc, Sus,” replied Dara.

“It's been kind of good, Bu?” ask the doctor while checking his condition. Checking tension, heart rate and basal temperature.

“Already, Sus.”

“Tension is good, the heat has also started to drop.” The doctor lifted his thumb. “Crains take medicine yes, eat a lot so quickly recover.”

Dara nodded, “Thank you, Doc.”

Shortly afterwards the door was knocked followed by a twisting knob, revealing the face of the man she had contacted yesterday afternoon.
