The charm of Janda Kembang

Part.3

Two months passed, today is Sisil's graduation day. Dina steeled her heart because she graduated alone without being accompanied by her parents. Dina walked into her campus auditorium.

There is envy when he sees his friends accompanied by his parents or lover. But Sisil had to accept it, his papa was never willing to understand the wishes of his children.

Sisil was named as the best graduate of the year, with a near-perfect grade and also the fastest pass. Claps echoed in the Ruany auditorium, but Sisil only smiled wryly. Why become the best graduate if two weeks later he will get married.

All was meaningless to him, all his efforts had vanished when his father told him to go home to marry the man of his choice.

Although Sisil once loved his papa's chosen man so much, it did not make him happy. Because he thinks time can change a person. He no longer knows how his ex-girlfriend is.

After graduation, he walked out of the auditorium alone without a friend without a boyfriend or parents.

"welcome Sil.kamu is indeed the smartest mother student" said lecturer Sisil

"thank you ma'am" Sisil said trying to look happy

"oh..ya...ibu forgot...yesterday mother had got an offer from several companies for the best graduates, are you interested?" ask the lecturer

"i'll think about it later ma'am"

"sad you know Sil if it is missed, there is even one foreign company that is building a subsidiary in this country also you know." said the lecturer of the supervisor "later you send via email only yes.any company that offers you a job"

"well mom thank you"

Sisil walked back down the aisle, nobody cared about him, everyone was busy taking pictures celebrating his graduation. That was what Sisil felt, even his tears were already welling up in his eyes.

"Sisil" shouted someone calling his name as he waved his hand

"d.he..." Sisil quickened his pace and approached his two best friends

"goodbye, Sil..." Nadia kissed Sisil's left and right cheeks

"congrat...Sil..doain so that I may be overtaken.." Febi hugged Sisil

"where's next? Graduated or married?" Sisil smiled wryly when he mentioned the word married

"pass it.." said Febi who knew Sisil was not okay.

"let's celebrate your graduation.I've booked a place and photo studio.we celebrate three today" said Nadia.

The three of them followed Nadia, riding in a car to Nadia's photo studio. After taking pictures they also ate at a cafe not far from their campus.

"when did you come home Sil?" ask Nadia

"maybe the day after Nad.." said Sisil in a sad tone.

"the patient.yes Sil.." said Febi.

"the medicine that I promised I have prepared.later please remind me yes.." said Nadia.

"what's Nad going to be?" asked Sisil who was thinking far ahead

"you tell me, I'll send it to your house" said Nadia while drinking orange juice

"just always contact us if there is anything Sil, we are ready to help" said Febi

It was not without reason that Nadia and Febi offered to help, they were both children of rich people, they could easily help a friend who needed anything.

"i will always remember you" Sisil forced his smile.

.

Today Sisil has packed his things, he has been saying goodbye to his boarding mother and also his boarding friends. It was hard to leave the place that for three years had been the place to spill all the feelings in his heart.

"this is the medicine I promised Sil" Nadia handed me a box of concoction drugs "if you forget to take it you will not get pregnant but do not exceed one week because the effects of this drug can last up to a week" she added

"i'll go first, Nad..." Sisil wiped the tears that fell on his cheek

"be careful on the road, keep contact with Sil..." Sisil just nodded then he dragged his suitcase out of his boarding house.

Sisil intends to stop by his sister's house located on the outskirts of the capital before returning to his home.

An hour's drive, Sisil arrived at his sister's house. Sisil dragged his suitcase into the courtyard of his sister's modest home.

Tok.dok..

Sisil knocked on her sister's door. Before long the sound of the key was played, then the door opened.

"Sissile...!" said the man who opened the door to his brother's house

"sister Devi..." Sisil hugged his sister.

"you are the same who came here..ayo enter.enter.." said Devi.

"tight sister" Sisil observed the house

"oh.husband at this hour is still in the office, while the children at the house of brother-in-law Sil..." Devi looked happy

"sister.can I ask you something?"

"what's that?"

"what's your happy brother?"

"for sure Sil's happy brother.Why ask like that?"

"papa betrothed me brother with his friend's son" said Sisil sad

"just keep papa that way" said Devi annoyed

"i can't refuse him brother, brother knows for himself how papa, especially with the condition of the mama who is so, I became completely wrong" Sisil tears escaped just like that

"you're patient, Sil.sister, pray your best" Devi gently stroked her vibrating-looking sister's back.

"sister.can I ask for help?"

"what's Sil?"

"i have important papers and some of my belongings in this house? I don't know why I have such a bad feeling" Sisil said

"sister will help you, but you don't have bad thoughts, you have to keep the spirit of living your life, brother believes God has a beautiful plan for you" Devi tried to comfort her sister. Devi realized she couldn't do much to help her sister

"thank you, brother..." Sisip hugged his brother.

"but sorry Sil.kakak can't come to your wedding, brother is afraid papa will disturb the life of brother and sister's small family" Devi gently caressed Sisil's sobbing back in his arms

"iya brother...Sisil understood" Sisil parsed his embrace and wiped away the tears on his cheek.

He realized that he was alone in facing his problem. Sisil will try not to have bad thoughts. He wants to fight with his life, whether he can or not, Sisil will still fight for a better life.
