The Fate that is Overlooked

93

The atmosphere looked boisterous, I saw Ashila chasing her peers cheerfully. Ah, that boy is adorable. Her long hair that was pony with chubby cheeks made her body more full than the last time I saw her.

Me and the group shake hands with the guests and I just found out Ajeng, doing a reception at the home of his former mother-in-law first. Is that the parents of her ex-husband? should the wedding reception be held at their home?

I walked impatiently, leaving my other comrades behind, I was just so curious, what kind of man was capable of ensnaring his heart, as for me who had approached him for many years there was no response whatsoever from the petite woman.

My eyes immediately found her figure shaking hands with a woman with her left hand holding a hand that I saw like official clothing.

"Congratulations, son, Ajeng. Welcome to join us the mothers of Persit Kodim 07/01." I heard clearly the words of the woman who gave a hand.

The persit? The codim? she became a soldier's wife? all the questions are lodged in my head. Until finally the figure of the man I recently knew as his sister-in-law approached, touching his tiny hip from behind.

Jesus !!

I really am such a fool! it turned out all this time? and in this house?

My heart crumbled instantly. It's worth the reception in this house, the groom's house, and all this time? the unnatural and exaggerated behavior of her overly possessive sister-in-law, I should have been able to realize earlier ! Akh, I really did not help ! Oh God.

I stood up and only realized after someone patted me on the shoulder slowly.

"Doctors are okay?" It was Mayang who greeted me. "Just say something, Doc. It's lonely," he suggested to me.

I followed him from behind. My chest rumbled, there was pain in the corner of the heart. Unrevealed love that ends regret I'm feeling now.

"Sus Mayang, thank you for attending. Sorry for the invitation via virtual." As usual, her distinctive voice always melted my ears.

Aaahh Ajeng's.

"The evil doctor is not very patient with me, today the fix becomes a day of heartbreak in RSUD niih." Mayang's words instantly made me look up, feel insinuated as well, no, rather I was heartbroken.

There was also laughter behind me, whether since when I had entered the row of invited guests who were in line and had been standing in front of Ajeng's parents.

"Om, Auntie, congratulations." I said as calmly as I could.

"Thank you" said the two people I now alternate with Salami.

"Thank you for coming Dok Satrio." The man who is now Ajeng's husband greeted me first, and only I replied with a smile.

As usual, Ajeng always kept his sight and touch, he just fused his two palms together to the front of his chest. "Thank you Doc Sat, it's time." He said after seeing my face for no less than 3 seconds.

"Congratulations, Jeng. May you be happy always." I said with sadness, which could not cover my disappointment.

I just smiled, then passed looking for Mayang who was no longer visible nose. I feel I will not be able to enjoy the snacks that have been provided at some point, there is really no taste. It is not the food that does not make taste, but from within yourself that has made tasteless.

After a moment of pleasantry, I immediately bid farewell to the family party who was the guest picker in front.

I went home, forced to swallow a bitter pill called disappointment. The taste that didn't arrive.

Thank God the event went very smoothly without a hitch of anything, Ijab qobul that I said for the second time was completed once a breath. No repetition or mistakes. Now my marriage and Ajeng has been recognized by the state and religion. There is a sense of pride embedded in the heart, colleagues from the unity and staff of the codim, all present. Not only my colleagues, the entire extended family of RSUD where Ajeng worked was present when lunchtime arrived.

I laughed batedly when a nurse suddenly told me that today, in addition to her happy day, was also a day of heartbreak as RSUD. Lebai once they. I tightened her waist, hugged her tightly with my left hand.

Especially when Satrio, the pediatrician that I had guessed before had a taste for Ajeng came to congratulate him. People will soon find out if they see the expression on his face. It was a deep sense of disappointment, although I had only met a few times, I could see that. His own face was clear that he was heartbroken, of course, towards my wife.

I am quite proud, Ajeng did not respond so much to Satrio. Indeed, if in retrospect Ajeng is not at all good at reading someone's feelings, it is true my guess that the doctor saves the taste, just insensitive Ajeng !

I immediately thanked him for coming to our reception, which he only replied with a smile. I lyrics Ajeng expression when faced with him, he just smiled and clenched both hands to the front of the chest, thanking Satrio for the prayer. I am grateful, Ajeng can really bring himself, keeping himself from coming into contact with the non-muhram.

Finally, many times over, I expressed my happiness and gratitude after I had been patient through all this, thank God for all the favors you have given, without any exceptions.

It is true, whatever is your destiny, it will never be possible to miss you, and anything that is not destined for you, no matter how hard you try to achieve it, can never be achieved.

Humans just need to be patient, winding and as sharp as any path that goes, believe me there will be a derivative that is able to release all the emotional gases in themselves. The key is only one, be patient and be confident that God is the best planner. The plan will be more beautiful, even beyond what we think and want. Really, I feel it right now.

I stole a kiss on his forehead, without caring about the bright one immediately cheered and threw a lot of words of ridicule.

"Patience, Bar. There are still a lot of these guests."

"The love that is still single, Bar !"

The cries of envy rang out clearly in my ears yet, what do I care. Only being able to laugh evilly made the audience heat up even more ! hahahahahah

" Shame on!" Ajeng widened his eyes with red cheeks, not because of blush-on, but shame held back by my actions. And I could only chuckle, not feeling guilty at all, just getting more and more anxious to see his little face.

"Go to the room !" take me.

"Astaghfirullah, you are !" he pinched hard on my waist, then just passed by, leaving me to greet the other guests who were enjoying lunch.
