“Accident? Now how's he doing? Oh, thank goodness. Did you pay the bill? Watch wherever he goes and keep me informed of his progress!” alif said to the man on the other side.
“Who was in an accident?”
Alif immediately turned his head when he heard another voice speak. He was aghast, but was soon able to normalize his expression. “My friend, Mi,” replied Alif avoiding eye contact by pretending to be busy scrolling through her phone screen randomly.
“Where are the friends? Your friend is, a lot.”
“Umi doesn't know him because I never brought him here.” Alif allowed himself to be led into the house by Uminya.
“Umi want to talk for a minute.”
Alif suddenly felt bad when Uminya said that. After sitting in the living room, Umi clasped her hands and looked into her eyes fixedly. Roman's face looks very earnest.
“Alif already have a candidate?” ask him very carefully.
I don't know how many times his parents asked this so that sometimes makes Alif become annoyed. Not infrequently—they also betrothed a girl to him, but always Alif refused because until now, there is no girl who can thrill his heart besides Dara puspita. Because the more he hates that woman the deeper he loves her. There is also a bad past, because it is too picky in finding a partner, making him difficult to find a friend. And strangely enough, his heart was even adrift to a simple girl like Dara.
But it seems like God wants something else. The intention of wanting to propose to her was preceded by another man for taking too long to weigh. Though he had established himself to propose to Dara romantically on the night of his brother's wedding reception, but was broken because Dara actually came with Chandra and introduced Chandra was his fiancee.
Long time did not answer to make Umi again said, “Not without cause we wara-wiri ask you. The main reason is because we are old. We want to see you get married, want to be able to take grandchildren from you other than grandchildren from Yudha. That's it.”
“Iya, but Alif can not,” replied Alif.
“Waiting for what?” ask Umi Ros later. “Become have a husband, son. There is nothing to wait for from Dara. She is happy with her husband.”
Umi Ros is very familiar with the story of her son's romance because it was a young man who planned to wave Dara to his son. That day, he was equally disappointed when Dara's parents said Chandra was her son-in-law's candidate. Though he had pocketed a beautiful ring that Alif bought special. And it seems that his heartbreak was not playing around because after the incident, Alif left without news for a week.
“Already, Mi. Patience first, Alif pray that Umi same Abah long life, can see my children!”
“Control your emotions, Son. Do not get used to exploding like this .. not good.”
“Don't ask that just, Umi. I'm bored.”
“Alif! Keep the way you talk to your parents!” voice from within.
Alif growled at Yudha's appearance and grumbled in annoyance, “Aargh! Everywhere is you, sickening!”
“You are so strange, the hobby is angry is unclear,” Yudha said again.
“You are also strange, your hobbies interfere in other people's affairs!” Alif passed from before them and ran towards the top locking the door of the room. He hates Yudha, hates family, hates himself and everyone in this hemisphere who never wants to understand his feelings.
“Jeran is the same Alif because lately it has become a monster,” muttered Yudha is still near Uminya. “Come, Mi, Yudha transfer to room.”
“Umi's okay, you don't have to worry. Umi knows what Umi's kids are like, son. Alif is grumpy, but he is actually a pity for Umi.”
“But earlier that brash child had dared to speak with the same veins of parents, we must reprimand.”
“Umi understands it, she is in a mess.”
Ah, Umi Ros has always been, always looking at her children from a different point of view. So broad was his thinking about deepening everyone's feelings.
“Yesterday time at Dara's wedding, Alif how?” asked Umi Ros when she was in the room.
“He looks mediocre,” Yudha replied while turning on the air conditioner.
“Alif met his two brides right?”
Yudha nodded. “But just for a while, because after that, we don't know where he is going.”
Umi sounded out her breathing. Then say a sigh, “If you think about your sister's pity, even though she had once invited Dara to marry. But Her Heart is insensitive.”
“Not insensitive, Alif's case is less convincing.”
“Yes, maybe it's one of them too.”
“If love why not be pursued from the beginning? It's too late.”
“It has been pursued, often sent-send the same package Alif from afar, but never replied. Even replied to an invitation.”
“Kok can, Mi?” yudha asked curious about the true story. Alif has only been open with Uminya. Not with anyone.
Umi recounted, after knowing Dara was engaged, Alif had been away for days and rarely went home.
For years he healed his heart pain by trying to start a new relationship with another woman—but the matter of the heart can not be forced, his love remains oriented to a Dara.
At one time, Alif heard pleasant news from Vita, because it turned out that Dara was not married until now. For three more years, Dara first completed her education in the department of Catering, just like her sister-in-law.
His spirit was flared again because he felt he still had a chance. Alif tried to fight for it again with various things. Trying to send messages, calling, sending packages, although not often, because he is prestige, he is a man who is very guarding image—which obviously he does not want to be too obvious that he is an itchy man.
Alif who was used to being chased by women before hoped Dara would do the same thing, but it turned out that his expectations were too grandiose. Because Dara still considers him an ordinary friend.
Not until everywhere his struggle, he was again broken by a piece of invitation.
Unable to be treated so, Alif immediately rushed to the city where Dara lived and said that she wanted to marry him.
But because he could not convey his intentions with better language; because he was indeed the type of man who had difficulty expressing feelings straightforwardly, he was considered joking.
As a real man, he is still trying to fight.Alif again said his seriousness before returning to Jakarta by conveying his intentions directly to Hilman; dara's father. But he even absorbed it spicy.
Alif did not say all the words that were conveyed by the man to Uminya. But one thing Umi Ros remembered, that Alif was indeed said to be inappropriate with his daughter other than Chandra. Then compared by him as good as his eyed who was almost half bald.
When Alif was saying that, Umi Ros saw her son's eyes glazed over. He really knows his son, Alif is not a gentle figure and easily filled with a thing— the saddest though. He is a very strong person. But it seems there are some other words that really hit the heart of his son, causing Alif so.

Seriate.
There is still another flashback about the conversation wktu hilman, but later I will leave if again the same debate Dara. Mobon patience, yes, management. This story is not too complicated. About how hilman, his attitude has been seen since the novel Tak Sanggup Berbagi, precisely on the night of the wedding reception Yudha&Vita.
