The Cost of Trust

The world is small

Ahmad Rifa

The mind of the man who had passed thirty years was not necessarily direction. For the sake of his devotion to his parents, he released his heart, Diandra Saputri.

Three years of knitting love with her is not a short time. He is too precious to forget. The girl of his dreams has now become the wife of Aziz, his own best friend.

Admittedly, the fault is in itself. Suppose that at that time he was firm. Fighting for his love for Diandra, there might not be an incident like this. Regret always comes too late, and love comes because it's used to it. Yes, Diandra got used to Aziz. Although I don't need to doubt his loyalty.

My girl.he who is always carefree, can always take anyone's heart. His meek demeanor was able to subdue anyone. Including Aziz, a friend who always accompanies our love story.

"In...so you forget about me? Even now you have a baby with Aziz, Di?", Ahmad monologues.

My memory floated on the day I decided not to see her again where we used to meet. Am I evil? Yes, I'm too evil. Until I could not bear to look into his own eyes that always calmed me.

That day....

A short message came in from Diandra.

[Mas, where are you going? I've been waiting for you for an hour!]

That message I read. I thought over and over until I finally got the message. In fact, I was in the same place. But I don't want Dian to see where I am.

[go home, I won't come]

Without taking a long time, the message was already retorted.

[You why mas? This is our third anniversary. You're forgetting?]

[ Go home]

[Why are you?]

Dian tried to call me. But I always refuse. His face looks panicked. He panicked in all directions.

[Go home, baby. Don't wait for me!]

[Aren't you going to pick up my phone again? Don't want to see me again?]

[I love you Di. Loves you so much. But we can't be together.]

[What's my fault? Say it! I'll fix it up Mas Fai]

I couldn't see the tears on her cheeks. His head was still looking in an uncertain direction. He must be looking for my whereabouts.

My phone rings again. Diandra doesn't give up calling me over and over again.

[When we have to separate, please meet me! Don't be like this, Fai. Tell me what's my fault? If it can be fixed, tell me. But if I can't, I'll give up!]

My time with Abah, made me lose my love. By the time Abah had approved it, it was too late. Dianku is already with Aziz.

It was still clearly reflected in my eyes when I just left it. My heart hurts to see her tears flowing down her soft cheeks.

Aziz, she's the one who's been able to make my Dian happy. I just hope that Aziz will never hurt Diandra.

If one day I hear Aziz hurting my Dian, he will accept the consequences. I'll take it back from you Aziz.

Ustadz, only the title they gave me. Ustadz is a teacher. Not the saints. I am the same, I am a human being. I cannot escape all worldly affairs.

Ahmad's car was speeding towards a fairly elite housing.

"Fai, are you home? Later tonight come Abah to Abah's friend's house!"

"Whose friend Abah is? is Abah not tired of trying to match her with Abah's friend's child?", asked Fai.

"Politely talk to your Abah, Fai!", scolded Umi.

"Sorry.!", Ahmad left his parents in the living room.

Enough, just once my stupidity. I want to make my own life. I'm a grown man. Not always I have to be restrained, even by my own parents.

May you always be happy with Aziz.

"The world is small Di!" said mama while eating soto mi which Dadan kang interra.

"You mean mama?", I asked.

"Whenever we go, God has determined who we will meet and where."

I know where my mom's talking is going.

While Aziz from earlier stood behind the door.heard the chat of two women.

"Dian has no feelings for Fai ma. Dian only loves Aziz."

"Mama knows it."

"Thank you, you're willing to give your mom a second chance."

" No need to thank me ma. Dian did all this because Dian did love Aziz mas."

Aziz saw Mama hugging her beautiful wife. She is so grateful to have a woman like Dian. Although, the beginning of her marriage went through a short process.
