The sky tonight is so beautiful. The stars fill the dark sky. The moon shines brightly. The breeze made my hair dance in an indeterminate direction. I stood on the balcony of my room, looking up at the sky. I still think, is my choice right? Waiting for the uncertain but this heart kept asking to wait. Sometimes I feel stupid for being fixated on past memories. In fact, until this moment my heart cannot move from those memories. I don't deny it if I wait for the boy to come.
Tomorrow I will fight again with my grandfather's chosen candidate. Candidate this time is deliberately chosen the last because there is a business that I want to finish with him. This time I will not hesitate to act.
The last candidate was named Beni. Grandchild of retired general. I met him accidentally. The man hit my bike until I fell. He didn't help me much less apologize to me. He even asked me to take responsibility for fixing his car. I left because I was lazy to serve him. Suddenly he pulled me down the second time and my helmet came off.
"real girl! Don't bring a motorbike!" He talks so while laughing.
I stood up and was about to leave but was confronted by it.
"Pay to change the losses and leave!"
"I feel I don't have to pay compensation because you're wrong! I'm the one who asked for compensation!"
I walked away to my bike. When I was sitting on the bike and was about to leave, I was stopped again.
"That's arrogant! You cheap woman! You don't know who I am? I'm the general's grandson! Don't fuck with me! I can do anything I want!"
"I don't care if you're the general's grandson! In this case I am innocent and irresponsible! You are also a rich man, right? The rich should not be concerned about compensation! If it's rich, why not buy another one!"
"You! If it wasn't a woman I'd been beating up with!" p
"Why am I a girl? I'm not afraid of you! Even if I fight, I won't lose to you!"
I then kicked the man down. My motor is moving fast. I see he's not chasing me anymore. When Grandpa Krishna came home, he was furious to see me hurt. The old man even swore he would make a reckoning with the man who harmed me.
I never thought I'd see that guy again. This time I will use it to teach him a lesson. Me, even a woman can't be underestimated. Preparation for tomorrow's fight is ready. I'll keep that man's mouth shut forever.
Last night, before I went to bed I went to see my grandfather. I told him if I won this fight, I asked grandfather not to make any more matchmaking. Grandfather was silent for a moment. He seems to think. A minute later, he agreed to my request. He just told me not to forget to find a partner and get married. I just nodded and then hugged her.
This time the fight was at home. I purposely asked grandfather to invite them home. The martial arena had also been prepared in the backyard of the house.
The sun began to lean westward, soon to return to the contest. Beni's family has arrived. My parents and grandfather welcomed them. I didn't welcome him because there was no need. I was ready with my ninja outfit complete with a head covering.
They arrived at the arena. I let Beni get ready. I started warming up before the fight.
"I'm ready!"
Beni doesn't seem to be excited. The man even approached my father and mother.
"Does it matter if I fight with uncle's daughter? It doesn't feel ethical if men fight with women."
"No problem! After all, this is the rules of the game that Cicit made! So just follow! You don't necessarily win!" Bima's father just smiled at me.
"Are you afraid of me? If you are afraid please go home and do not continue this matchmaking!"
"No! I'm not scared! Of course I will fight you to get you!"
"Then let's get started! The rules are easy. Just need to knock down the opponent in any way. Who fell first he lost."
I started first. My first hit landed on his face. It seems like Beni was very surprised by my speed. Not wanting to linger, I carried out a series of attacks. My kicks and punches landed many times on his body. Beni barely had a chance to avenge my attack.
Five minutes passed, Beni's face was already battered. I just smiled happily behind the cover. I see Beni's mother is already anxious to see her son. Grandpa Beni whispered to my grandfather, questioning my behavior that was seen bar-bar. Grandpa Krishna was silent.
Beni started to attack me. Many of his attacks were deadly but I managed to field and I retaliated. Ten minutes passed, Beni's body was already staggering. But he won't give up. Since it's getting boring, I'll just end this fight with a pair of cutouts.
Brugh!
Beni's body fell. Fight's over. "I won!"
I approached Beni who fell. I put my hand out to help him stand up. The man was still holding his scarred face. I open my head cover. Beni was surprised to see my face.
"You?!"
"Yes, it's me! You said it was unethical to fight with women but when you even fought with me!"
"Have you met?" Grandpa Krishna was curious.
"The cake! Do you remember when I came home injured? This is what hurt me! No longer want to apologize, force me to indemnify, and abuse me!"
Beni just kept quiet. The man could say no more words. Beni's grandfather and parents were shocked to hear that. He did not expect his son to do so. Especially against the great-grandson, who is the grandson of General Krishna. A person who is highly respected by the Beni Family.
"What does great-grandson really say, Ben?" Beni's mother asked with anxious hope. Wishing all he heard was lies.
Beni just shut up. He did not dare to answer. Beni's mother kept asking. Finally the man made a sound too after I showed him the CCTV video at the scene. I have prepared everything.
"I'm sorry Beni, ma'am!"
Mother Beni's body suddenly squeezed and then fainted. My mother helped revive Beni's mother by giving her eucalyptus oil. Before long Beni's mother realized. The middle-aged woman apologized to my parents for her child's attitude and behavior.
I saw Grandpa seem silent. Dreary face. Grandpa Beni also apologized to Grandpa Krishna.
"This time I won't take it into account, but I hope there isn't another time! You know what I'm not, Beno! I never let go of anyone who has a problem with me! I still appreciate our friendship! You better educate your grandson again!"
"Thank you, Krishna! I will definitely educate him hard! Then we'll say goodbye!"
Finally, the Beni family came home. My grandfather agreed to my request. Before leaving the arena, grandfather hugged me and apologized to me. After that grandfather never again touched on the matter of matchmaking or asked about the men close to me.
I am grateful that this matchmaking problem is over. I can finally calm down. But that calm didn't last long until I read Grandpa Surya's message to mom. In his message, Grandpa Surya asked the mother, do you agree if Cicit will be a match with the grandson of a business partner father?
I was surprised to read the message. There was a feeling of anxiety when reading it. As if to say that I should accept the match. That was also the reason that made me have to leave. I still haven't met Ucup, haven't confirmed my feelings for him. That's why I'm here now.
Actually, there was a strange thing that I felt when I met Mr. Joseph earlier. For some time, my heart trembled and a voice sounded, "He's your soul mate!" I do not deny Mr. Yusuf is handsome according to his name. But, I have to meet Ucup. Anyway I have to find and meet Ucup to make sure of everything.
"Ucup, where the hell are you?"
