The Heart I Choose
Septian Present
He was there at a very good time, when I didn't know who to talk to, just to share the problems I was having right now. He who is willing to be a listener without asking a lot of questions and does not want to give answers if I do not ask.
Mas Wandi's problems in prison and problems during marriage, I told my family, Dad was just silent, but his gaze was like full of regret once married to a man of my own choice. Mother told me to be more patient, because she did not know what to provide a solution. Tia my sister, with a little more emotion telling me to leave the Wandi mas, don't ask my little brother, he throughout my story always clenched his hands.
Septian is the one who understands me better now, maybe because of his age, I like to get friends to confide. Sometimes he helps deliver orders, because using a motorbike, faster orders can be delivered.
"Tian your girlfriend's not mad, you keep coming?" I asked Septian.
"I don't have a boyfriend, I just broke up." Septian answered briefly.
"Neighbors like to whisper when I'm not here?" Septian asked.
"He's been asking me, 'cause you're here anyway', I said you were told to go Wandi, to help me."
If the septian to the house the front door is always open, let no one come suspicion from the neighbors. One day my mother came with Yani Mas Wandi's sister, when there was my house septian. Long time mama looked at Septian, finally she was saying goodbye with a bad feeling.
"Who is Mia?" Mama asked
"Septian ma, he used to be my cake customer now he's a friend." I answered.
"You guys look familiar, mama doesn't like mia, let alone heard Wandi, she must be very angry."
"Mia if you really want to make friends why not look for a woman, why the hell should be the same guy" said Yani.
"I can't choose a friend, brother, just why I fit to be friends with him, I sometimes ask him to send orders if far away, or sometimes help me keep Dika if I deliver the order," my answer.
"If that's why you shouldn't sell anymore, mama doesn't want you both with other men when wandi again there's this kind of problem, what people will say."
"If you still want to keep selling, no longer allow the man to come here, you have to drive your own sales." Mama gave an ultimatum
"Well ma, tomorrow I will tell Tian not to come anymore" I replied.
Yani was already engrossed in playing with Dika, mama surrounded our house, uh but this was the house of mama who was loaned to us.
"Try the back you accompany the flowers, it can be fresher," mama gave advice.
"Yes ma, later if mia no longer make orders," I replied mama while continuing to stir my dough doughnuts.
"Ma, come home yuk, later the children will soon be back home from school," sister Yani took mom home. Thank goodness I answered in my heart, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
"When grandma comes home first yes, next week when she sleeps at grandma's house yes, grandpa already misses." Mia also said goodbye to me.
"Greetings papa ya ma, also say miss mia to rani," I kiss the hand of mama.
