The Forgotten Asmara

Life is a choice..

One month later...

The iddah agatha period is over. Malik's family meets agatha's family.

Afrizal took a deep breath, looking at his daughter agatha. Agatha just looked down and answered nothing.

"Atha, think again, son? We're all waiting for your decision." Afrizal stared fixedly at agatha and alternately stared at the byan.

"Tha, everyone here agrees if we get married. Abi, umi and om afrizal have agreed. I wish you had the same goal as us." Byan let out his voice.

"Tha, umi's really hoping..." Andryani recalls byan's words. Malik nodded his head slowly, saying nothing.

"Life is a choice, all decisions are in your hands.." Byan stared fixedly at agatha, agatha raised her head upright.

"Life is a choice? You say that? Okay..." Agatha took a long breath. "I chose not to marry you byan."

All were shocked to hear Agatha's decision.

"Agatha????" Andryani looked at her son-in-law in wonder.

Everyone was silent, there was no sound in the room anymore. Everyone has heard agatha's decision. Byan tries to convince Agatha.

Today the byan family came to Agatha's house to propose to her. Everyone gathered in the living room. All have agreed to marry agatha to byan.. Agatha.

Afrizal, malik and Andryani stared at each other. Now the three of them left the room leaving agatha and also byan.

"Tha? Maybe you should think first.. I know this is not from your heart, then know you love me tha.. I beg tha, trust me. My feelings for you are sincere.." Byan pleaded with Agatha by looking fixedly at her eyes.

"You never get tired, do you?? This is the second time I have rejected you! But you didn't give up either?? I don't love you byan." Agatha insisted.

"Tha? is it because of that woman?? You've changed your mind??" Byan intended to discuss romance.

"No, not because of him. But because it's my own choice. I want to be alone first..."

"That... I love you tha, I beg you!!"

"Are you not ashamed?? What do people say out there later?? You are a soldier, while I.... I am widowed byan!! Moreover, I am a widow of your own brother!! You should understand that!"

"I don't care about your status tha! I just want you! I don't care about people out there!!"

"Byan, please respect my decision. Please forget me.." Agatha began to shed her tears.

Byan moved from his seat, he immediately hugged the body of agatha tightly..

"I'm sorry I hurt you, please give me a chance to correct all my mistakes. I'll make you happy, tha.."

"Take off me byan!!" As much as agatha tried to rebel but byan did not let go of her embrace.

"Tha, marry me..." Byan said softly.

Agatha nodded her head slowly,

Agathapun finally agreed to the desire byan. Until agatha's cry broke...

🍒Asmara

These past few months, I've never seen a byan again. Which he usually visits his company in Jogja once or twice a week, but now he is not seen again.

Asmara has tried as much as possible to express and eliminate my memory of byan, but until now I have not been able to do it.

Today after returning from college, I intend to shop for monthly needs at the supermarket near the office. During this time my mother was shopping for home needs at the traditional market, but sometimes I also help my mother meet the needs of the house.

At this time the mother's catering business has improved quite a bit, now the mother already has two employees who often help her.

Even without the help of a father, who knows where he's going at the moment. Mother is able to rise from her fall. I should be like my mother. But my current feelings are the same, still can't remove the byan from my heart. Though it is very clear, byan has rejected me, maybe now byan has been with agatha and happy in Jakarta. I was too stupid to expect it.

"Asmara??" A voice that does not call me.

"Sir juna??" I concluded a little smile greeted him.

"It turns out you're here.."

"Yes sir. Father is here too. What do you want to buy?" Tanyaku.

"I'm shopping my house for a monthly basis."

"Oh, same I'm also shopping monthly sir."

"Do you mind if we shop together??" Juna looked at me. I don't know why Juna asked for such approval.

"May sir." Reply potluck.

I was about to take a bottle of drink, when I grabbed it, the hand of the juno also grabbed it. Juna's hand was above mine.

"Oh, sorry mara. I'll take the other one.." Juna pulled his hand towards the other drink.

"What's wrong, sir, i. This is for you." I feel bad. Why do our minds want the same drink and that drink is the only one.

"No mara, I'll look for another. Just take it for you.."

"Ah, I don't want this either. I'll just take the others, sir!"

"Why mara? this drink is one. How will people be taken?? Don't let you regret it." Juna smiled a little. Juna has been showing me her smile lately. Not like he used to be so jutek and flat.

"What's wrong, I've let it go if someone else takes it. There are many others I can choose from.. I also felt unfair to my father. I better take the others. Let it be for someone else!"

"Emm, okay... Let the drink be taken. Maybe someone else needs it more than we do!"

"Yes juna sir is right, leave it to those who need it more. Don't be greedy..."

"Racus?? Haha you're mara, there-there's nothing!"

We looked at each other and laughed together..

Just because of a bottle of drink, we discussed this. Things that I think lead to my own feelings. I know you're happy with agatha byan. But I'm sorry if I haven't forgotten you until now.

I just hold it tight in my heart.

After she finished shopping, Juna offered to take me home. I didn't feel good about rejecting it until I agreed.

Juna turned on the radio in his car. Until the mellow song accompanied the silence in the car.

"Mara, how are you feeling right now??" Juna opened his voice.

"My feeling is fine sir."

"Are your feelings the same for him??"

"To whom, sir?"

"To mr. byan! who else is it to? It's impossible for me, isn't it??"

Why is juna talking about this? And why would she attribute my feelings to her as well? I don't get it.

"I'm sorry sir, I haven't forgotten it yet. It turns out it wasn't all that easy. Talking is very easy, and the action is very difficult!" I don't know why I dared to be honest with him. I was never like this. Tell my heart to others.

"Hmmm... You need another way to get over Mara!."

"Another way? Mean dad? What way?"

"The way that can really help you forget it."

"That's not all easy sir...." My eyes turned red, my memory began to return to Byan. The more forgotten, the feeling was even clearer and my memories with Byan even more swirling in my brain.
