The morning sun seemed reluctant to show its light. Black clouds began to march, adding to the dark atmosphere. Occasionally sounding thunderous nature like an overflow of pent-up emotions.
Aleesha stood on the glass doorstep of her bedroom balcony. Staring deep into the sky, looking for where to eliminate a beam of light.
Her face was pale without makeup. Her tired eyes seemed to be talking, 'all night she was awake'. Recollecting last night's conversation with Mom and Dad.
*Flashback On
"What promise are you ?" Sluggishly.
"An arranged marriage promise, their son with the child who is still in the womb of Linda's mother if born a woman, and the child, you are Aleesha." Feeling struck by lightning Aleesha heard it.
Not a word could come out of his lips.
"Don't think too much, son, all can be well talked about." Mother's comments, when she learned of the change in the mimic of her daughter's face.
"But don't be taken lightly Bun, it's like it's already a nadzar for them." Refuting Dad.
"Is there no other way Well ?" Ask Mommy as if she is not willing if her daughter is not happy because of it.
But Dad just kept silent without being able to answer anything.
"Everything has become their covenant Bun, we can only pray for the best for our children. If I may suggest, we should have a family meeting, so you can get to know each other first." Dad finally opened his voice.
"Truely said Father Son. After all, Rose and Herman's son must be a good and well mannered man." Connect Mother.
"After the two of you met, all of you gave me back to you Aleesha, no matter what decision you made." Said Dad ended the conversation that night.
*Flashback Off
'What should I do ?'
'Should I refuse this matchmaking, or continue to accept it as proof of my obedience to my late father and mother ?'
'Then ... what about my heart and my feelings ?'
'What about all my dreams ?'
'Can I accept him as my soul mate ?'
'Even I don't know him at all.'
Did not feel the clear liquid flowing, wet his cheeks, along with the sound of vibrating mobile phone that disperse his daydream.
"Who in the morning is this nelfon." Saying himself.
A no-man's number danced on his cell phone screen.
"Hallo." Sapa Aleesha hesitated a little.
"Hallo Buk, how are you ?" Soft sounds came from the voice.
"Alhamdulillah, fine. Here, who is it ?" Aleesha asked still not recognizing who the owner of the voice was contacting her.
"Mom pretended to forget or indeed forget ?" He said, making the heart of Aleesha who was upset even more furious.
"I'm sorry, but I really don't know." Aleesha's grumbling.
"Oh ... So yes, people if they are successful, must forget about their surroundings." There was an annoyed tone to the sentence he uttered.
"Once again, I apologize. But I really don't know who you are."
Not only can not remember who the owner of the voice from there, but indeed his thinking power is being affected by his confused feelings.
Irritated, Aleesha pulled her phone, intending to turn off the red button on her central screen.
"Ichaaaaaa !!!" His shout made Aleesha undo the intention to turn off her phone.
"Keys." Sluggishly.
Only the owner of that name came out of his lips, who had a loud voice and raised his ears.
• the Fitria Keysha
Best friend of Aleesha, in the old school days. Education requires the two to separate. Keysha chose medical science to realize his goals. Although distance always separates them, but the strength of the heart makes them always reunited.
"So arrogant, to the point of not recognizing my voice." Angry Sung.
"Sorry, sorry, where did I think the terror came from. After all, you are also very intent to get me this early in the morning. Where the voice sweetened again." Aleesha replied, still with a resentful tone in her heart.
"Wait a minute, by the way, what makes the tone of my beautiful friend's voice droop weak." Goda Keysha, as if he could read the mind of his best friend.
"My phone broke Cha, fell during a visit to the village, where all contact was lost again, fortunately everyone in the world knew who Aleesha Zavira was, so it was easy to find your number back." Goda.
"You ach." Aleesha's comments were getting irritated.
"Hahahaha, don't say that..." Clumsily.
Aleesha. 'If you were here, Key, there would be a place for me to vent my heart.' The groan in the heart.
"Cha...hallo, are you still there ?"
"Eh .. oh, yes."
"What's Cha ? I'm not sure you're okay." Keysha's comments were always able to feel what Aleesha was feeling.
"I, I, it's okay Key. I just miss you."
"Haiissstt. We can meet at any time." Keysha replied which made Aleesha dumbfounded.
"You mean ?"
"From today, I'm assigned to the 'Healthy Hope' Hospital'."
"Healthy Hope ? It's close to my apartment."
"Iyes."
"What is Key ?"
"When did I ever lie ?"
It was like the warm glow Aleesha was feeling right now. For some reason, since what he heard from the father last night made Aleesha's mind fixed on his best friend this one.
"Cha, let's say it again." Mumbled Keysha, who lost her best friend's voice from the object she was still sticking to her ear.
"Eh, yes Key. I heard it. I can hear your voice." His words sounded flattered.
"What's Cha, there's a problem ?" Keysha asked to make sure her best friend was okay.
"See Key, I don't know, it's not a problem for me." Sluggishly.
"Tell me dong Cha, who knows I have a solution for you." Persuade Keysha.
'It's good that I tell you what you said last night, maybe that way you can reduce the burden of the mind in my heart.' Aleesha's heart made up her mind.
Since they were both teenagers, Keysha knows more about men than Aleesha who is more silent and shuts herself down for all the men who want to know her.
"Every night, Father and Mother expressed their intention to introduce me to the son of their friend." Aleesha said beginning the story.
Keysha listened carefully, sentence after sentence coming out of his best friend's lips. Every now and then, he reveals questions to satisfy the curiosity of the stories he receives.
"Truely said Cha's father, you better meet and get to know each other, because for Dad, what He said is a trust that must be fulfilled." Keysha's advice after listening to a long and wide story.
"Yes Key." There was a feeling of relief revealed from Aleesha's reply.
"When, after all, would an Aleesha open her heart to a man, if not introduced like this." Keysha's real scathing comments are starting to come out.
"What the hell."
"Remember Cha, the prince who is in your heart, it only exists in fairyland. So throw away the story of Cinderella in your heart." The word Keysha means to wake his best friend from a long dream.
"icha ! You're awake, son ?" Call Mother from outside the room that is faintly heard to Keysha's ears over there.
"Yes Bun." The answer is short, still with the phone lit in the ear.
"Cha, that's Mother's voice huh ? Love your address Cha, so I can play to your apartment, I miss Mommy."
"Each Doctor, I'll share my skalian lok." Aleesha replied beginning to develop her smile.
"Hold then yes, we'll connect again."
"Eh.. Cha, hello, Icha !"
Tut .. tut ...
I heard the phone sign was turned off.
"Yahh .. dead again, this habit of the child." Grunts Keysha himself.
