The Cost of Trust

The Part 111

Tok.dok....

"Fai, Abah wants to talk!"

Fai opens the door to Abah. But, he turned again to the front of his room window.

"What is Fai?", asked Abah.

"There's nothing Bah!", replied Fai, still looking out the window.

Abah patted the shoulder of the only boy.

"Do you have any more doubts?", asked Abah.

"No Bah. Fai is ready to propose Mika!", said Fai slowly.

"Then ? Why didn't you come out? We're all waiting for you!"

"Tadi ... Fai has come out Bah, it's just that seeing Aziz so tightly grasping Dian's hand, there is pain in Fai's heart."

"Don't you say that you've been sincere Dian with Aziz?"

"Yes bah. Fai is happy to see Dian happy."

"Your job now is to try to love Mika, your future wife."

"Mika did the same thing. He was trying to forget his feelings for Damar."

"What?" pekik Abah's.

"Have you seen the graceful woman who was with this image? She's the woman Damar wants to be his best man. Fai and Mika just feel the fate of Bah. Even we force ourselves to try to love each other, even though we ourselves do not know. So far, we've only tried to be close and open to each other."

Abah was silent to hear his son's curse.

"If only at that time Fai did not leave Dian ya Bah. Fai won't be this sick as he forgets Fai's girl."

"Son, sorry Abah . Abah doesn't know that if you feel like..."

"It's the bah, forget it. Fai still wants to be alone. We leave in an hour, right? Leave Fai alone."

Fai turned his back towards the outside of the window.

With a careless step he meets Aziz and his family below. His eyes turned to Aziz and Dian. They look very happy. If he used to be unselfish, forcing his will on Rifai, maybe Fai was happy with the girl of his heart. Rifai is too submissive to be a devoted child to his parents. Regrets always come at the end.

"Where is Bah?'', asked Umi.

Instead of answering, Abah looked at me. After that, he answered the question.

"Fai hasn't come down yet. Abah's worried, she's gonna change her mind again." Abah answered without shame. Abah thought they were the closest people to Fai.

Mas Aziz looked at me with a look of what it was.

"Umi will persuade him!", exclaimed umi.

"Free Mi, we'll never listen to Fai."

Yes, umi is aware. Fai was indeed closer to his Abah in his appeal.

"Aziz?", call Abah.

"Why bah?", asked Aziz.

"Do you allow Dian to persuade Fai?", asked Abah hesitantly. Aziz looked at me. As for me, I just shook my head. I don't want to make a mess here. How could Abah have such an idea? And I'm sure Aziz won't allow it.

From before we left, he was in jealous mode. How could he allow it?

"Aziz allow the bah, but.regardless of Dian only!", Aziz replied while looking at me again.

I shook my head slowly.

"Sorry, Dian can't. Anyway, why should Dian? There is a mas Aziz or kang Dadan who might be able to persuade him. They're very close."

"That Dian knows, you must be feeling bad about your husband. But please Di, Abah think only you can persuade him. Abah doesn't want this plan to fail, son! Please, you reassure Fai ya Dian!", said Abah pleading.

I'm not flinching. Why should I? Am I not happy with this plan, too?

Mas Aziz grabbed my shoulder.

"Dek, please Abah. Fai will definitely hear your words. You don't want Mika to be disappointed, do you?", asked Aziz.

"But mas...".

"Yes mas!"

"Mas trusts you. You can definitely persuade Fai. You said yourself, if you want to help Mika fight to love and be loved by Fai?"

I'm nodding. Yes, I want mika and Mas Fai to love each other. Although it takes time. But, will try to unite them. I don't understand my own feelings.

"All right!", I finally agreed.

Mas Aziz smiled hearing the 'want' answer from me.

"But, will anyone accompany me to talk to Mas Fai?", I asked. Heran, they all shakes.

"Ish...you are so evil!", I said with an annoyed grunt.

"Where's Fai Bah's mas room?", my question.

"Well, turn left the door white." replied Abah.

I stepped in with hesitation, too. This house is so luxurious. Inversely proportional to the costan mas Fai at that time. He's a rich kid who pretends it's hard just to get me! But he managed to ruin my feelings.

Saying bismillah, I tried knocking on her bedroom door.

Tok.dok...

"Acute singles, I want to talk!", I said behind the door.

Fai, who was still looking outwards, immediately gasped and stepped his feet to open the door.

"Dian?"

"Can I come in? Uh, wrong. Let's just talk outside!", I said.

"Speaking what?", Fai waltzed into his room.

I said I was talking outside. But why did he even enter???

Wouldn't want me to go into his room. I deliberately opened the door to her room wide. In order not to be slandered. Especially this at my ex's parents' house.

My eyes looked at Fai's room. Spacious, comfortable and luxurious room. Inversely proportional to the cost first.

I stepped closer to the table near the wardrobe. This it?

"Mass? It's a doll....??"

"Yes, I still keep it."

There were dolls, a clock, a picture frame with pictures of my hands and Fai's mas, and other memories. Three years is not a short time. We wasted that time just for things that never would have an end.

"Why not throw it away?"

"When will I throw it away!", replied Fai briefly.

"You've been doing mas since, we've been waiting for you since."

"I'll be down later."

"Aren't you going to talk to your other relatives first?"

"For what? What matters is you."

"Why with me?"

"Are you glad I'm going to marry Mika?"

"Of course it is. What is the question mas!"

"Is there not the slightest taste in your heart?"

"Forget it! Let's get out!"

I stepped out, but Fai's hand prevented me.

*******

Not mahram, don't hold Rifai....

What next, huh?????
