The Matchmaker Competition

CHAPTER 53

A man named Arjuna Bramantio is still engrossed in the charm of the night sky. The greeting of the night light seemed to invite him to play together.

"Allah is beautiful and loves beauty (Luqman 31:29)

After completion of the prayer Maghrib Juna prefers to be alone. At first he was reluctant to accept Delia's invitation to the top. Because actually Juna had already stated to Delia that they could not continue their relationship. Although in the end Delia ran amuck at him because she felt hurt. However, he had to be firm when this time his heart was not for Delia anymore.

The flashback

Arjuna is now standing in the Shahab family residence. Talk about a problem you've been wanting to solve for a long time. Whatever the risk, he will not retreat, even if the treasure is at stake.

A sweet smile greeted him at the door of his future wife. The women he approached, the real women who hadn't told him about their feelings, the women who hadn't pinched his airways in two years, the women who showed up when he moved on.

"Sister Juna?" Say that sweet voice.

"Their address, Del." Juna replied to Delia.

"Come in" Delia offered her guests to enter the house.

"You're busy today?" Ask Juna.

"No. What's wrong?"

"Can we go for a walk?"

"Road?where to?" Ask Delia

"Find a place for both." Juna.

"Tumbens. Gawk... I'm ready first."

Juna held Delia's hand. A smile was engraved on his face.

"We do not eat at restaurants or cafes.we just sit in the garden doang. yes if there is a brother cart passing is more romantic. How's it?" Arjuna.

"Well, if that's what Juna wants." Delia and Arjuna got into the car.

Suddenly silent travel atmosphere. Juna just turned on the music in the car. The music is quite mellow according to his feelings, but do not know with Delia's mood.

"You remember one word you said in the letter. That word that used to make me steady open my heart to you, Del." Juna started the conversation.

"Which one?"

"Eighth letter. Before you go to London."

"Sorry, brother I forgot?" Delia just looked down embarrassed. There was fear in him. His hands were clasping tightly at the end of his clothes. Juna saw the restlessness. But he put his mind aside.

"Whatis that? Try saying those words." Delia asked back.

"You always say every morning there is a light that always relaxes the heart.

Every morning there is a taste that continues to roil and never extinguished.

The light that appears behind the oyster of romance.

A turbulent feeling every time you look at you.

Thanks, Del. You remember me every time you open your eyes."

The car finally stopped at the park. The night atmosphere in the park which is only visited with lights adds to the romance. Juna led Delia in the wrong garden chair. Still in a quiet atmosphere they sat side by side.

"Sister." Sahut Delia.

The sense of feeling was still a little claustrophobic after some of the problems that occurred between them. Delia tried to still be sweet in front of her future husband.

His eyes were fixed on the pitch satay cart that was walking towards them. Delia stopped my brother because she was hungry.

"Sister, I want satay padang. Brother wants?"Tawar Delia's.

Arjuna just nodded. He also needed energy to gather the courage to talk to Delia.

"Sister, I want it to be the same for Juna, okay?"

"Time and place are paused."

"ih, learn Indonesian language only .. hehehee.."

"Sok atuh, welcome."

"Aren't you getting a job yet?" Ask Delia.

"Why not just work with papa? According to sister science in college."

"Del, sister wants to be independent. My brother doesn't want to depend on your father. All this time my family and I have depended on your father. The tea factory my parents run is also from your papa, right. I want to be independent, Del. What if you can support your wife's children if you still depend on others."

"But, brother. Papa's intentions are good lo." Refute Delia.

"Yes, I know your papa's intentions, well. But why should I? why not ask your brother to continue your papa business. Moreover, Oka has five years of work there. Until she delays the marriage with Kirana." Arjuna's story recalls Oka once confided in her.

"Papa disagrees with Kirana. Papa has his own choice, brother. Just like us, papa once said that we have been dating since I was in college. Papa used to say that he had long prepared my future husband, so I was forbidden to date. And it turns out that God answered my brother's prayer when we were in a match."

"Del, is that your prayer too? what have I been feeling you've been feeling?"

Delia raised her eyebrows. The arab-faced girl improved her sitting. Still by eating satay padang as well as overcome the clumsiness with questions Juna.

"Eat the satellite first, brother. Entar satenya nangis lo in PHP-in." Delia diverted the conversation.

Juna finally devoured the satay that was in front of his eyes. Although his heart began to fall because of their relationship is not clear.

"Sir Juna didn't like that spirit? Satay is not good, yes. It's good, brother, I'm just eating it." Delia watched Juna as if she had no appetite for food.

"Enak, it's Del." Juna replied a little relaxed.

Del, do you love me?"

Delia who was about to put a spoon in her mouth suddenly snarled. The 25-year-old woman looked at Arjuna meaningfully.

"Why did you ask that?"

"Because I've been struggling all this time. Missing someone who has been ignoring me for more than a year. You never showed me how you really feel about me, Del."

"Sister.it's not clear that I welcome your feelings by accepting this match. If not I've been against it for a long time."

"You accepted all of this because of your father's mandatory request, Del. Not because I really welcome my feelings from your deepest heart. I'm human too, Del. has limits on patience. And my patience is at its peak."

"Is this because Dira's sister said so?"

Juna didn't budge when Delia brought up Dira. The man delayed his gulp and then looked down weakly.

"Del, I.."

"I don't think I know between brother and Dira there's anything, Hah! Big brother should have realized, Dira had already chosen another man. It means brother claps one hand.

And now you're talking about feelings? Brother once thought of my feelings when brother gave artificial breath to Dira. No brother! Brother never thought about my feelings when sister expressed feelings for Dira on the night of the proposal. Up until now brother didn't make a decision when to marry me."

"Del, than we hurt each other. We better deal with all this. I'm tired, Del. I am tired of our relationship. Honestly, I'm like I miss the moon. Sorry, Del. I can't continue our relationship." Juna lowered his head not daring to look at the girl before him.

"Del, I'm sorry."

"Sister wants to cancel this match, right. I can't decide all this. All decisions are on my dad, not me. So if you want to finish this, tell papa." Answer Delia.

Juna clenched his hand. Everyone has to go to Delia's dad. Are they not the ones in relationship. But why did Delia's parents set the motion of love.

"Del, this is what disappointed me about you. Why is every move we set on your father? Will you be like this all your life? I understand you would say that it's your father's affection for his son. But once you studied independently without the intervention of your father.

Oh, yes you said for two years not to tell your papa. You said you wanted to be independent of their involvement. That you can be independent but now you're still sheltering behind your papa."

Delia put down the rest of her food in a slamming tone. He didn't seem to like the direction the man was talking. His body was upright straight lined with satay carts. The woman placed the blue note on the cart table. His steps left Arjuna, before long there was a voice after the feet behind.

"Are we not broken up? Why are you still chasing me?"

Delia continued to tease Arjuna who was following her. But the figure behind him just kept quiet and continued walking. He let the woman nag at will. Because Juna understands Delia's mood must be not good.

"Selfish brother!"

"I don't just think about myself without thinking about my feelings. Brother knows all this time I have always been loyal to Brother Juna. But why is this a reply for me.

Brother likes Dira just for a moment, because we're far away, right? Brother try to remember the sweet memories between us. Even though what we live all this time is not dating. Is it that easy now that you're changing hearts?"

Juna deliberately did not refute Delia's remarks, but before they entered the car Juna held Delia's body.

"But you're selfish too, Del! You never countered what I did all this time. Is it wrong to look for the sure? Is it wrong that I love a woman who definitely reciprocates my feelings?"

Delia smiled grinningly "Is Brother Juna sure Dira has the same feeling? If she loves Juna, she won't accept Rian's proposal. Here the pity is not Dira but Juna's sister."
