The End of Destiny

Courting

Renata got up from the bed, walked towards the door of her room. His mother was still standing at the door.

"Mom, just say Renata is not feeling well anymore" said Renata slowly

"Son, don't be like that, meet him, talk carefully don't dodge" Mother said patiently.

"But Ma'am, Rena...."

"Have taken a shower, pity me later." continued Mom.

Renata too slid into the bathroom, he deliberately linger. After the shower he was still lazy out of the room, actually he did not want to meet Ardian.

"Rena, it's done yet, pity her long waiting" said the mother entered Renata's room.

Finally with a heavy heart Renata came out to meet Ardian in the front room.

"But long ago, wake up late ya." Ardian smile when Renata was sitting in the chair next to him.

"Yes..mas Ardian why did he come here so early in the morning?" sulkul Renata.

"Why, can't ya." Ardian was still with his smile.

"No.." said Renata scowling.

"I was here last night but I didn't see you, so.." Renata cut it off.

"Stop, that's what I'm talking about." said Renata

"But not here, we just walk." continued Renata

"Where?" ask Ardian

"Go where, the important thing is not here" replied Renata as he got up from his seat.

"Okay, now tell me where to go?" ardian asked again after the two got into the car.

"So I said whatever, where to go." Renata's face grew sullen

"Yes, but don't get mad at that" Ardian smiled.

Ardian's smile was not glimpsed at all, Renata was once again the same Ardian. During the trip, the two of them remained silent. Sometimes Ardian glanced at Renata who looked very jutek.

"When do you want it like this ?" said Ardian who was tired of the silence between them.

"Mas Ardian is selfish." said Renata suddenly.

"I mean ?" Ardian then pulled the car over and turned off the engine.

"What do you mean, Rena? " ask Ardian calmly, tilting his body to face Renata.

Renata only fell silent while lowering his head, he did not dare to look at Ardian's face. Unexpectedly Ardian held Renata's chin and turned towards her.

"Look here, and tell me what you mean" said softly Ardian.

"Every night Mom said she said that Ardian wanted to propose to me." now Renata looked at Ardian's face

"Yes, right.something's wrong."

"Yes wrong, that's what I mean selfish. Mas Ardian never talked to me first, play want to lamar-lamar aja." said Renata teary.

"I love you, Renata, so I'm proposing to you." Ardian looked at Renata's eyes.

"Why should immediately propose, if love can be dating first" said Renata who was a little calm.

"I don't like dating, nor do I find a boyfriend, whom I want to be a wife. Wife who will accompany me all my life." said Ardian more seriously.

"Yes the name is selfish, mas Ardian just obey his own feelings do not want to care about my feelings, I do not want to get married I am not ready." Renata began to shed tears.

"Rena, from the first moment I saw you I felt something strange with my heart, which I had never felt before. Your face always follows wherever I go, and I'm sure you're the soul mate God sent me." Ardian gently rubbed both of Renata's wet cheeks.

"But Ardian did know me for a while, Ardian did not know anything about me" said Renata while sobbing.

"After marriage, I'm sure I'll get to know you better, I beg you to reconsider, Rena."

Renata felt unable to accept Ardian's eyes, he then lowered his head. Her tears were still flowing, her chest was tight.

Ardian felt unable to see her cry, he grabbed Renata's shoulder and sank Renata's face into her chest. Now he felt the warm tears of Renata soaking his chest.

"Cry, Rena. if it will relieve your heart." said Ardian while kissing Renata's forehead.

Renata is increasingly unfocused at work, the burden of his mind is increasing. His relationship with Hendra is not over now he has to face Ardian's proposal on Saturday.

"Rena, focus.do not dream on." mbak Dewi reminded.

"Yes, I will try to focus" Renata replied.

"Don't till you get a warning from Mr. Anto."

"Good mbak."

Renata is really in trouble if Pak Anto his superior to issue SP (Memorial Letter).

The days seemed to go so fast, it did not feel like Friday. During that time Ardian was never absent to shuttle Renata. But today Ardian can not shuttle because there is business work out of town, as well as pick up his parents.

That way today Renata rode his own motorcycle to the office. He felt more relaxed, like today he was driving a little slowly to enjoy his journey. While stopping at the red light, someone suddenly greeted him.

"Remains, ...."

"Sir..."

"Where have you been, how have you never met?" ask Andi

"Yes, Ndi." replied Renata

"Ren, ntar lunch at a regular fruit ice shop huh?" take Andi when the yellow light comes on

"OK.." replied Renata as he continued his journey.

Arriving at the office as usual the work was stacked, Renata began to busy with files.

"I don't think you're coming." said Andi when she saw Renata coming and sitting in front of her.

"Yes come, it's okay." smile Renata

"Your smile never changes Ren, it's still sweet to make diabetes anyway." Andi

"You haven't changed either, just stay calm." Renata replied as she pinched Andi's hand

"Rena, hasn't Hendra met you yet?" andi's question almost made Renata choke.

"Yet, why?" ask Renata.

"Payments,....."

"What do you mean?" ask Renata curiously

"Lately, he's been acting strangely, never hanging out with college friends. Uda look the sad, loner again.no one dares to be close to him." explained Andi

Renata was silent to Andi's explanation, he would not tell Andi about Ardian's proposal. Now his feelings became confused again after hearing all Andi's words. His mind flew far away to the figure of that very dear person.

"Ren, I was dumb." Andi's words surprised him.

"Ehhh yes,.. Why?"

"You don't want to see him first,..."

"I, I'm a Ndi girl, prestige." said Renata fierce

"If you are prestigious, Hendra also hesitated, then when your business is finished. does he want to be hung?" andi pasrah's speech

"Emang is not good to hang like this, if only the road in place, he does not want to fight for his love to how again." Renata seemed to hold back her tears.

"Ndi, please if you meet him, tell him if he stays like this I'll open a new page and move on with my life." Renata's tears start to flow, but he removes them immediately.
