The Red Bridge 16 February

Keep the Promise

Tiara sat on top of the sports hall's stands, after running around the field with Inara. Tiara just kept quiet, since coming there wasn't much to say.

"You why? if there's a problem with my story." asked Inara.

"Yesterday, Brother Satria did not come. He just sent, a kebaya for next year. Ask me to tie up first, or get engaged. And his marriage will be, waiting for me to graduate from college." replied Tiara.

"That's a long time ago, why fiancee first. If you're a soul mate, if not how?" inara.

"That's exactly how I haven't talked to Mom and Dad. Then Satria Kak has not been able to be contacted, why I look like you are a lot of curiga LDR fighters" said Tiara.

"Surprisingly what ? if you do, he still has communication, then how do I communicate."

"According to you, Daddy and Mommy agree no huh? although I know Kak Satria very well, I have to go to college first."

"You try, talk to Satria again."

****

Tiara arrived at her house, her parents had not returned home from the office. Father and Mother Tiara, is a PNS who works in different sub-district offices.

"I tried to call Satria."

Tiara tried to contact Satria, the phone several times in reject. Tiara decides to call later, but Satria calls back.

"Hallo Brother." said Tiara.

"Why deck?" ask Satria.

"Aren't you busy?"

"No, this is sitting near the post. Why the deck? is there something important?"

"About white kebaya brother."

"Why don't you like it?"

"It's not so, brother, for fiancee is not too fast? we're still married long."

"No matter what deck, you want to tie it up first."

"I haven't spoken to Mom and Dad."

"Talk again, you tell them, to our intentions."

"Yes, I'll talk about it."

"Later on, I love you."

"I love you too."

"Mother's father, Tiara wants to talk" Tiara told her parents as they relaxed in the living room.

"What are you talking about?" ask Mother Lydia.

"Dad Bund, yesterday Kak Satria by letter and phone, said he said next year ask us fiancee first, you know now I graduated High School. Father and Mother, how can you not?" tiara replied while asking.

"Fiancee? if the term is fiancee, you must get married immediately" said Mr. Agus.

"No Dad, you don't have to get married fast. That means Satria's sister, we're fiancee first, just married her later if I graduate college and already get a job."

"Darling, Satria didn't say it to Dad. Not that Satria has Dad's number, why do you talk to him the same?" mother of Lydia.

"Maybe this is just a conversation between us, later if it is close to just talking to Father and Mother" said Tiara.

"Where's Dad?" ask Mother Lydia to Mr. Agus.

"Where else, you have just finished your lecture" replied Mr. Agus.

"Thank you Daddy, Mommy." said Tiara happily.

****

"Dad, doesn't it matter to the fiancee? fear when already engaged, even ask for marriage. How is college?" mother of Lydia.

"Hopefully not, but his son wants to do it again, next year Bund is still a long time. How will both of them want to? if you want to get married, then let Tiara here first to finish his education" said Mr. Agus.

"Yes, Dad, it's up to you."

****

"Dec has eaten?"

"His sister, if you've eaten?"tiara asked, while on the phone with Satria.

" It's decked out, and eating it isn't good." Satria answered from across.

"There's no you, so it's not good." replied Satria laughing.

"Sister, just make people worry."

"Hahahaha, don't take it seriously."

"Sister, Mother's father agrees. If we are, next year fiancee first, but not directly married. Because Dad's the same Mother, I want to finish college."

"Dear baby, I understand. Brother just wants to, we're tied up first. Since big brother is serious as you deck, big brother doesn't want to lose you."

"So don't be naughty." said Tiara.

"Daddy is the same, don't be naughty."

*****

Satria stared at the window of his room, the speckle of rain fell from late afternoon to evening.

"Drink here, I make warm chocolate" said Alam.

"Thank you." said Satria, receiving a glass of warm chocolate.

"I see, she's a loyal girl. He's straight, he'll never turn. His love is so great, for a Satria. I saw a look of disappointed faces, longing that can not be channeled." said Alam.

1 year later

Tiara and Satria's engagement ceremony, held on February 16, the extended family of Pak Agus and Mother Lydia were present, and invited several neighbors.

White tents, chairs and carpets stretch from the gate to the entrance, which is in the magic of the Wedding Organizer in magic like a minimalist luxury decoration.

A happy day for Tiara and her family, a beautiful moment where her daughter will be proposed by the man of her heart's choice.

Tiara wearing a white kebaya, a gift from Satria is now sitting waiting for Satria and his family.

"Tiara, where? he said it was on the road." said Mother Lydia.

"True son, guests have come" said Mr. Agus.

"Prophey Mother's father, they are on the way" said Tiara, his heart was panicked.

"Tiara, call dong" Inara whispered.

"Already, I tried to contact not in the lift, my chat is also only read."

Mr. Agus and Mother Lydia were restless, almost an hour they did not come. Some even went home first.

"Dad, Mother is not good." said Mother Lydia.

"Please Bund, we wait another hour" said Mr. Agus.

Tiara tries to contact Satria, but her phone is off. Tiara's heart grew agitated, as she was unable to contact Satria.

"Mother's father." call Tiara.

"Where's son?" ask Mr. Agus.

"The phone can't be reached" Tiara replied.

"Good, how's this Bund. Is Satria only playing our son, God if it is true that he had once." said Mr. Agus.

Tiara was glazed over, the family began to panic. Tiara could not stem her tears, Mother Lydia immediately wiped away Tiara's tears.

"Don't cry in front of a lot of people, when all is gone. You can cry hard." said Mother Lydia.

"I'm ashamed of Bund, if it's true it doesn't" Tiara said.

"Calm down, if you don't come. There must be a reason why this can happen, we are calm first do not panic." said Mr. Agus.

For almost two hours, the Satria family had not yet arrived. Mr. Agus and Mother Lydia looked at her daughter, and Tiara nodded her head to end the event.

"Father will announce, if the engagement event does not happen" said Mr. Agus.

"Yes Father, right said Mother and Father. Sis Satria is not my soul mate, and it is proven that Allah keeps me away from him" said Tiara.

"God willing, you will get more than this" said Mother Lydia.
