On the way home, Gustin asked. A letter from who is in his hand. And who are the two men who often come to his old house just to ask his whereabouts. Gustin remembered very well that all this time Gustin did not have many close friends let alone men. All Gustin has is Nino and Sisi. Gustin's move came to a halt as Gustin guessed who had come to his house.
"Yes Rabb might be Sandy and Mr. Rendi. It is impossible that they. Why is Sandy looking for me. Maybe now he is happy with his son and his wife. Don't be so stupid, Gustin." Gustin murmured in his heart. Gustin immediately sped up his steps to get to his home. After arriving home Gustin saw Nino Papa and Mama were gathered in the family room.
"Assynogaic"
"Goddessalam.." Answer them simultaneously.
"Tina here you sit down first no one wants Papa to say."
Gustin immediately complied and sat down beside Nino.
"What's the matter Pa."
"Your wedding day will be fast. Not one week away but two days after Nino and Sisi's wedding. You don't mind Tina."
"Of course not Pa. But Pa, if you can figure out why Tina's marriage is accelerating Pa."
"Because of the dense work of Papa and also your future husband. Papa can't leave Papa's job for too long. Sorry yes."
"Already Pa. No papa, Gustin just sorted out how good it was."
"Thank you, baby."
"Yes Pa...Oh Ya Ma what with the face of Mama's most handsome son." Gustin said to the Mama and looked at Nino's dark face like a cloudy sky.
"Don't you know Tina she's referring to not being able to meet her idol for almost a week."
"Wah.why Mama's son is childish. Isn't the day after tomorrow you can continue to stick to your heart adoration huh."
"Hey.why did you say I was a child. You don't know what I'm feeling, Tin..."
"GERMAN..." Ketus Gustin as he moved from his seat. And headed straight for his room. While Nino was still nagging nonstop.
"See Ma Pa. Never been kind to me. He said it was always spicy."
"It's No...It's not what Tina said that's true." Papa said with a cynical smile. While Mama Lily (Mama Nino) chuckles at the words of her husband and daughter's son.
"PAPA.see Ma even Mama's beloved husband defended her. Isn't there just one person in this house who would defend me Ma."
"Allah, give the servant patience to face them." Nino said while holding both hands like a real person praying. Mom and Dad laughed at Nino.
Since the arrival of Gustin in this family has indeed given a lot of change. The house always feels colorful whenever Nino and Gustin throw jokes and taunts at each other. And all of that makes Nino's parents who were once a little stiff become warmer and more affectionate.
Gustin sat on the floor and leaned against the side of his bed. Gustin took out the white envelope from his pocket. With a thumping heart Gustin pulled out a letter from inside the envelope.
Dear my love
Assalamualaikum...
How are you, dear. I don't know what to ask you. I just hope this letter gets into your hands. Five years I've been looking for you and always waiting for you but God doesn't allow me to meet you. Please forgive my mistake first. I should have told you about my problem so that**you**does not go from my side. My parents used to betroth me to his best friend's son. And I can't refuse it. Because there was something that seemed to be covered from the female family I told Rendi to find out about the woman I was going to marry. And sure enough when the day of kabul Ijab will soon begin a truth revealed. The woman I married was pregnant with her lover who had left her. They've trapped my family. I wanted to feel like I was sharing that with you. But I really can't hurt your heart. I immediately went to look for you after my troubles were over but fate said something else. God tests our love again. When I came you went somewhere. My heart was broken then and there. My once world was colored as if it had become dark without light. Even then I was looking for you to reach your residence in Jogja but again I had to be disappointed. You left when I knew where you were. For years I have been looking for you. The love and longing in my heart grows all the time. I can only hope and pray that God will still give me a chance to meet you. But again I lost to the message of fate. My love and longing are still the same as before. I have always been tormented by my race. Now I must learn to let you go and accept everything sincerely. Not that I want to forget you nor give up on my waiting I just learn to surrender and wait for the answer of my every prayer. I'm sorry I hurt you. It is time that I live my destiny. Because maybe you weren't made for me. May you always be happy wherever you are. I will always remember you as the only woman who has reigned so long in my heart. My love and my longing for you is always contained in my every prayer.
***Sandy***
Gustin's cries broke instantly. Gustin's hand hit his chest. Gustin's chest was so tight his heart hurt so much. Why it has to be like this. What kind of destiny will he live. At the time Gustin was sincere in accepting everything that happened and tried to open his heart by accepting a marriage that was only three days away. Now Gustin is slapped by the fact that the person he has loved and longed for so much also has such great feelings for him. The person he loved was also tormented just like him.
"What should I do, Lord.Why is it like this. I've been hurting him all along. He still loves me as much as I do. Sorry, brother. I have to learn to forget you. I couldn't hurt my family. I'm sorry for that." Gustin said with tears streaming down his cheeks.
While Sandy who was about to get off his car almost fell if Rendi was not beside him.
"You're not papa sir."
"No Ren. As usual, my chest feels tight...I know he loves me so much, Ren, maybe right now he's missing me. Or maybe she's crying right now."
"Already sir don't think too much about staying a few more days Mr. Sandy will get married soon."
"Yes Ren...I hope there will be happiness after what we've experienced Ren..."
"Yes, sir.just entrust everything to the Creator." replied Rendi while packing Sandy's body into the house.
