The Journey of Love Hara

Crushed 1

Not felt, time passed so quickly.

...16.45...

This afternoon, Hara had just dropped out of her afternoon class.

‘If I go home now, maybe I can come together with mom, dad, and brother. But, if I go home in this state of heart, it can make my relationship with my family more broken,’ said Hara in a heart that is busy calculating whether to go home or not.

When Hara was thinking seriously, suddenly there was someone who was embracing her shoulders.

“Think what, anyway? Seriously very from earlier called until not horrified?” tanya Renata is followed by Regis and Shera.

“Duh, Ta. Can not si, not ngagetin a day?” said Hara who was a little upset with Renata.

“Ya out, you think what the hell until we called earlier was not horrin, Ra?”

“Gue again thought, mending home now or I go straight to the restaurant where my family dinner, huh? How do you think?” in disbelief at Hara's serious-looking words, Regis, Syera, and Renata could only stare at Hara with a look of disbelief.

“Ra, how come?” said Renata who did not know about Hara's problem.

“Long the story, Ta,” reply Regis while holding the hands of Renata and Hara and invite them to stop by first at the usual cafe where they gather.

Arriving at the cafe, Regis immediately ordered the food and drinks they used to order, while Renata and Syera immediately chose the place where they used to sit.

“Em, Gis, I don't use food. You know I want to eat with my family,” Hara told Regis.

“Eh, Hara. Want coffee usually?” said El who turned out to be preparing someone else's order behind the coffee machine. Feeling unfamiliar with the atmosphere, Regis frowned hinting at what was between Hara and the Barista, El.

“Ah, he's my acquaintance. Because a few days ago I came alone here without you guys,” explained Hara who knows what is in the mind of her best friend.

“Ah.. So only once do you dateng himself directly invited to acquaintance with him?” pointing towards El.

“Name El. El. She's not. Do not be complicated, let's sit,” said Hara, “oh yes, coffee as usual. Thanks, El,” he continued to El who was replied with a sweet smile from his cross-face.

Hara pulls Regis to a place that has been chosen by Syera and Renata, while Regis still continues to fuss and question Hara's meeting with El.

“Regis! that's not what's important now. I don't know what exactly for a few days I'm not here,” snapped his sister who immediately made Regis' mouth shut and did not say a word.

Without further ado Hara tells Renata about her problems with Mario, plus since then, Hara's relationship with her family, and Hara's relationship with Mario deteriorates. Renata understands the situation his best friend is going through. For a moment he fell silent and thought about how to solve this problem without anyone feeling harmed.

“Ra, actually if you want to discuss this problem can only,” Renata began to give his opinion.

“Here the betrothed is brother Nia and Mario, while lo dating Mario for 4 years. Why is the match between Nia and Mario not changed, so you and Mario? After all, the betrothed still remains the same, namely the children of your parents. Want it sister Nia or lo, is not the same?” for a moment Hara dwells thinking about the words of Renata that had been unthinkable by Hara because she was afraid of the problem.

“Come, Ta. Actually since there is this problem, I did not really think of a way out, because I have resigned. I know my papa's nature. It will not be easy to get him to change his opinion. Thanks to you guys who have always been there for me. Later I try to make this talk the same as my parents,” said Hara a little relieved because getting a little enlightenment.

Shortly after, their orders arrived. Regis, Renata, and Syera try to comfort Hara with their spare change.

Hara lifted her coffee glass and found a piece of paper that read ‘sangkasif mbak kopi’ with emote smile. Yes, from whom else if not from the handsome barista and have a cross-face that makes the appeal even greater. Reading the writing, Hara's lips revealed a small smile.

“Guys, I go first, yes. Like my parents have arrived at the restaurant deh,” pamit Hara to his friends.

“To which restaurant, Ra? Let us drive you home?” said Regis, who directly showed his male side as a male.

“Lo can also be like a real man, Gis,” Syera said.

“So you mean, all this time I'm not a real man, so?” laughter was heard from them.

“Ndon't need. Nearby, at my family restaurant near here. Yaudah, I walk first, yes,” said Hara leaving her friends. Not to forget, he approached El who was still behind the coffee machine and gave a piece of reply paper that read ‘makasih. Mas barista also his working spirit’. Reading the writing, El smiled widely. Smiles are rarely found by people, and are rarely given to random people. He was still staring at the back of the woman who was slowly starting to move away.

Shortly after, Hara arrives at the restaurant run by her family and immediately searches the VIP room. When Hara opens the door, Hara is shocked to discover that the dinner she thought was a dinner between Hara and her family, the reality is a dinner between two families who are continuing the conversation about matchmaking.

Hara was still standing in front of the door, confused whether she should go in or not. However, Hara chose to enter, remembering the manners her parents had taught her since Hara was little. Hara then sits in the only seat left, which is between Mario and Nia.

“Em, Nia, you better take a seat with your sister. Because it's not good, if your brother is between you and Mario, right,” said mama Mario who was greeted with an uncomfortable face from Hara and his cold smile given to everyone in the room.

For a moment, Hara was still wondering what decision would be given regarding the matchmaking. But for some reason, his belief in the continuation of the match was greater than the cancellation of the match.

“Yes. So, Herdian and I decided on Mario and Nia's match. The name is also matchmaking, maybe most of you do not have feelings for each other, but later when you get married, the feeling of love will also present itself,” said om Haris explained.

“Means, Om?”

“I mean om, what?”

“What do you mean, pa?” said Hara, Mario and Nia who hapir simultaneously.

“Wah, your tumben can be compact like this. So, the point is that the match between Mario and Nia has been set, even the date of your marriage has also been decided. 1 month from now, your marriage will be held, and your marriage will be held,” is obviously Haris who makes Hara more destroyed.

“Can't dong, pa. Mario loves Hara, not Nia. And Mario just want to be with Hara, not Nia,” protests Mario to his papa.

“What?” said papa and mama Mario who apparently still do not know this problem.

“Om know, Mario. But this matchmaking is between you and Nia, and om can't easily turn Nia into Hara,” Herdian explained.

“So, Hara was invited to dinner Just told to hear the announcement of sister Nia's wedding with Hara's own boyfriend?” hara said in a cold tone, the eyes that tried to hold the clear grains back in sight. The tightness in Hara's chest came back.

“Congratulations, Sister Nia, Mario. Hara finished eating. Hara wants to go home first, tired,” said Hara who immediately wanted to leave the place with that atmosphere. The atmosphere that for the umpteenth time made his feelings shatter into pieces. Hara ran away from the restaurant, which was met with heavy rain outside the building.

Hara sobbed in the pouring rain that battered the city that night, blasting away all the pain she felt.

Unknowingly, the body that had sensed the swiftness of the raindrops, slowly the rain did not feel falling on his body. Hara raised her head, staring faintly as she was covered in tears, a male figure standing holding a clear umbrella to protect Hara from the rain.

...‘Like a helper to her, the man was involuntarily always present when Hara needed someone. Yep. That person is the barista, El’...
