Trapped In Two Choices

Pain But Not Bloodless

At about half-ten in the morning, Om Pras also returned to pick me up, I was already prepared so that no need to wait was sitting casually on the porch of the house.

"Are you ready?" Ask Pras to me who is sitting on the floor.

"Already, Tania was afraid later if om came home but not ready."

"Cieh,,!" Pras screeched he was annoyed to be called om by the girl in front of him.

Pras also went inside leaving Tania, but Tania just kept quiet, she did not want to make a problem about it, she remained patient waiting, because at that time she was so excited to go to campus.

After waiting for almost 20 minutes, Pras was seen coming out, but this time he was wearing a relaxed shirt.

"Look, we're leaving now!"

I just come along not to argue, at that time I casually went in and sat in the back seat, and there was no protest from om pras, yes I was sitting sweet in my place.

But on the way I saw om Pras' car turn into a building, I thought what is this campus?

But I saw in the building a company name, meaning not campus dong, but I was still silent and maybe this is his office om Pras, but why om Pras not down?

I had a lot of questions in my mind at the time, but only I knew, and as I was looking straight ahead, I saw a woman like a tall model, with clothes lacking materials, walking.

I continued to pay attention and sure enough, she walked closer to our car what was that woman who was waiting for om Pras? I don't know why I shudder amused myself to see how he dresses, but this America may have gotten used to it so I thought again then.

And it turned out to be true, the woman immediately opened the car that I was riding in, and entered beside the wheel, I was a little slanted, but not because the woman was sitting next to om Pras, he said, but because without shame the woman immediately kissed the cheek om Pras.

What the hell is this my mind, just stain my eyes early in the morning. I also threw a glance to the side of the glass at that time, I did not want to see the affection of the two of them.

And the woman who just got into the car turned her body towards me.

"Honey, this is your nephew from Jakarta? Beautiful too!"

I just smiled, forced a smile, somehow I did not like the woman in front of me, but she stretched her hand out towards me.

"introduce me Tasya, Pras' girlfriend!"

"I'm Tania!"

"It's his acquaintance, we're leaving now!"

"OK baby!"

And the woman was like a postage stamp, kept clinging to om pras, in my heart I thought it meant this kind of woman that my husband liked.

Husband? Those words made me smile to myself, husband only status. Slowly the car has started driving on the highway I am a little dislike with the woman in front of me who is too spoiled with om Pras, even being there I am, he said, I busied myself by opening a book about the world of counting.

Until finally the car was seen stopping in a building that was so magnificent, and said university, I also widened my smile, we finally arrived, and I do not need to see romantic drama in front of me anymore.

I opened the car door and stared at the tall building.

"Here you go, let's go inside, don't just sting there."

I just follow them, and follow them both, because I really don't know the direction and the purpose.

After using the elevator we arrived at the administrative room , and after I finished registering, I just took the test through the online line.

"Tania we're going home!"

"It's up to you."

"Can't it be?" But pras stopped his words almost he rebuked Tania not to call him om, Tania forgot that there was Tasya beside him.

"Darling, how about we go for a walk first, I want to buy something."

"okay!"

The car drove back to split the highway crowd, I actually prefer it to go home, rather than follow the two of them, but I had to obey, if only I knew the way home, I would go home, the car would stop at a shopping mall, I would come down, all the foreign faces I saw, no Indonesian face was caught by my eyes at the time.

I walked slowly alone, lazily I continued to follow where their path, and it turns out that Aunt Tasya would buy a branded bag?

"Darling, you can choose which one you want!"

"Thank you baby!" Tasya immediately hugged om Pras, even though it was a public place.

Tired of me walking away a little bit from them to a shelf containing a watch, so many luxurious clocks there that maybe I can only see, I smiled myself, I was happy, but I am still grateful for my life.

And while daydreaming about my life, suddenly someone rebuked me.

"Hi, excuse me!" said a man.

I turned my eyes to the side, and I saw a white man, tall, smiling at me.

"Yoe seem to like watch?" (You seem to like watches )

"No, I'mjust taking a look."( No, I'm just looking around)

"Look like you're an immigrant?"

(Are you a newcomer?)

"Yes, I'am come from Jakarta!"( Yes, I am from Jakarta

"OOO, then we are both immigrants, know me Alfin, you can call Al."

I was still staring at him, not yet welcoming that helping hand.

"You don't fear I'm not a bad guy "

I welcomed a man's hand in front of me, and smiled. It turns out I can find Indonesians here too.

"I'm Tania Renata, just call Tania!"

"Who are you with here?"

"Together with my om."

"Hmm, you've been in America a long time?"

"Just two days"

"Are you walking here?" ask Alfin

"Yes I'm also in college here, it's been three years."

And we continue to talk at length, because om Pras and tasya have not finished shopping. It turns out that brother Al lectures in the same campus with me, only different majors only.

And brother Al is also a friendly person to make us so familiar quickly, Tampa I realized from afar om Pras was watching me.

"Tania!" I turned my body.

"Om Pras, om and Aunt Tasya are done shopping?"

"Already dong Tania, you see I've brought a lot of stuff!"

"Hmm, I know."

"Tania, is this your aunt and om?"Ask Alfin

"Yes, I know this about Pras and his girlfriend tasya."

Tasya immediately extended his hand towards brother Al, but another thing with om Pras, instead put on a flat face, and did not welcome his hand, brother Al. And so as not to be awkward I immediately melted the atmosphere with a little joking.

"Sister Al, Tania doesn't like shaking hands with strangers, I'm sorry!"

"OOO okay, no problem."

"Better we go home, don't get too familiar with strangers!"

"Honey, let it be, Tania's gonna need a friend here, there's no way she's just living alone without a friend." Said Tasya with his powerful voice.

"We're home now!"

"Sister Al, Tania comes home first!"

"Okay, be careful on the road, see you later on the campus."

I just smiled back at the words of Kak Al, and immediately ran after the little om Pras who had walked first.

The atmosphere in the car was silent for a moment, no one spoke, let alone me who was only used as a mosquito repellent there. The car continued to drive and came back to a stop in front of his office Aunt Tasya.

And om Pras looks not yet run his car even though Tasya has long walked into the office lobby.

"Om, why haven't you gone, is Aunt Tasya going to be back with us too."

"You think I'm the driver, move ahead!"

"But, Tania is more comfortable sitting here."

"This is my car, I can manage who's gonna sit where."

With annoyance I went down and sat in front, but with my face bent, I was annoyed that only two days om Pras had seen his fangs, fierce!

"I don't like to see your face like that."

I turned my gaze, but still with a face that took away, and looked towards om Pras, why time and situation turned me into a stubborn one.

"Next time do not get along with a foreign man, you do not know life here, I talk like this because it does not want to happen something the same you and papa can be very angry."

"Yes Tania understands."

"Why don't you just call me brother like this guy, why should you?"

"Because it's more appropriate to be called om, if Al's sister is much younger than om, so there's no way Tania would call om."

"Have sat down and been silent, don't keep arguing."

I went back to silence, not saying a word until the car was parked perfectly in the yard of the house om Pras, I immediately went down and ran into the house leaving om Pras alone.

I immediately found Bik Siti, and told her what I did today, bik Siti just smiled to hear my story while cleaning the dining table.

Because I was too focused on talking to Bik Siti, I did not see that om Pras had entered, after finishing telling me I went back to the room and changed my clothes with casual clothes, so I could not see, long dres without arms above the knees.

I went back down to the first floor, and it turns out that the om is still sitting in the living room, I also intend to go out to the terrace only.

"Tania!"

"Hm."

"Where are you going?"

"You're going to the terrace om, can there be anything Tania can help you with?"

"I want to talk to you."

I walked over and sat down on the sofa beside Om Pras. I can't always pick you up when I'm in college, so these few days every afternoon I'll take you around the area so you memorize the way home and can bring your own car."

"Bring om's car?"

"Well, what are my words less clear?"

"Not om, but Tania can't bring a car, don't just have a motor car Tania never had."

"It's sad that your life is so sad, it's worth it that you're willing to marry an old man like my father."

I was silent, the words om pras this time somehow felt so painful, even though the fact was that I had agreed to marry Mr. Sanjaya instead of om Pras, at that time, but what om Pras said is that I got married because of my miserable life and I want to live to be rich.

It's all not true, but I know everyone would think so, my eyes feel hot, but I try to hold them back.

"Tomorrow you will learn to drive, I will register you."

I was still silent, I did not dare to say anything, because I still held back my tears that were already at the end of my eyes.

"And one more thing, don't you have another better phone, it's like a wreck."

I was still silent, looking at my hand which at that time considered the phone that my mother had bought for me, that day my heart was painful but not bleeding.

"Tania, I don't like it when I'm talking and you just keep quiet."

This time the voice of om Pras, shocked me, his high and firm voice made my tears escape by itself, I lowered my head and tried to wipe away my tears.

The sound of om pras also made Bik Siti come to the living room. But Bik Siti did not dare to say anything just staring at me. I am confused will I be able to survive with people who hate me?
