TRAVELLER LOVE

The conqueror of the heart

My eyes widened as if I could not believe that the person in front of me was space. He smiled and blinked his eyes at me. Wahda who saw me dumbstruck, suddenly surprised me.

“ zahra, you why? You know Angkasa?” He attacked me with questions.

“ ooooh, iyya I know anyway but only a day”.

Opening Orientation period goes smoothly. It turns out that Angkasa is famous as the Conqueror of the heart. Yes that's according to the information I heard from the senior women. They laughed gigglingly as they looked towards space.

“Hmm. What a special thing is that strange guy!! Handsome, but still he's a super person who ngeselin” murmured me.

In the middle of the event, suddenly someone grabbed a loudspeaker. Who else. If not Space. I tried to pretend not to see her, even I pulled zahra's hand to accompany me to the toilet..

“ zahra! You stay where you” sounds out loud from the loudspeakers. I heard that it was getting more wrong. What else does he want, anyway,?

“ this time I ANGKASA will give an important announcement, I hope you guys listen to it well” he paused for a moment inviting the reaction of other students who began to whisper.

“ first. I as the chairman of the new student orientation committee asked for all new students to look for the signatures of 3 of the best students of our campus. As for the prize is still in secret.”

“ who is the best student of this campus? Zahra do you know?” Ask Wahda, he seems interested in that. Seen from the look in his eyes he seemed to be seriously thinking.

“ where I know. I have only been in this college for 2 days. Try asking the same geogle yuk” wahda just shook my head to hear my answer.

“ second announcement, and this is the most important. Right now my future wife, is in the midst of you.” He cut his words

“ what kind of announcement is this. This is orientation time. Not a family event, how influential is he in this place? “ grumbled I'm upset.

“And my future wife is zahra. I hope your friends notice him as a prospective daughter-in-law of the owner of this university”

Hah. It is fitting that space is so admired among women. Besides that, he also made money. But that doesn't apply to me. To me, Angkasa is still the strange man who always bullies me. In the line of the committee Ikihar Widia glared angrily at me. As if I did not want to choose Angkasa to be his future wife.

Why do you announce it in public. It just makes me feel more embarrassed.

“Zahras. Start our acting. “” whispered space in my ear could surprise me. Moreover, he grabbed my hand and took me in front of the other students. My face feels warm and red. Wahda who saw that, could only look at me without saying anything.

“She introduced me to everyone whether it should be up to her if you want to decide her match with Widia” I murmured inwardly. I got more and more wrong when the sky took me to the cafeteria. All eyes were on me, implying that they did not believe what he saw. Moreover, the natabene students are prettier than me, they might wonder how Angkasa might have a wife like me. A simple woman, it can be seen from what I wear is very different from Space like the distance of Heaven and Earth.

“ zahra, what do you want to eat?”

“ it's up to you aj” answered I'm still upset by what just happened.

“ want to eat meatballs?” Ask back

“ I said is up.do you not have ears?!” Answer's rude.

“I know there is no food whose name is UP” he is increasingly provoking my emotions. Immediately my feet acted, I stomped his feet violently..

“ awwww pain. Aaampuons. Yes I was just kidding” he said as he clenched his hands together. I who saw it just smiled with satisfaction.

“ we order two bowls of meatballs, two iced tea” he said to the canteen mother. I'm the one who heard that. As if not to believe a dirty man seems to like eating meatballs like me . He who saw me kept looking at me, as if he knew what I was thinking.

“you need not be surprised. BAKSO has always been my favorite food. We walked over to the cafeteria table to sit down and wait for our order. Someone I saw stepped hurriedly towards us, from the look on his face he seemed to be very angry.

“ Space, what did you mean earlier?!” Ask widia to space without a stale ado

“ was my speech less clear? I already have a wife. So I'm asking you not to waste your strength to keep getting close to me!l”

“ but our parents have already set us up?”

“ who will live me. So I have the right to decide who I choose to accompany me!” Space words. I closed my ears to what was happening in front of me. I walked over to the meatball bowl and ate it.

“ anyways what is this woman special about me? Whether your eyes can't distinguish it” Widia said again

“It's none of your business. You can find other men who are more perfect and better than me!”

“ but I love you!” Said widia and getting closer to Angkasa was about to hug her. The lightning-fast space retreated, dodging it. I saw widia begin to shed tears.

“ is now better, you are gone from my face. Before my emotions explode!!” snapping Space. Spontaneous Widia directed her gaze at me. I who saw it felt ordinary while smiling at him. He looked at me sharply, razor sharp. I just gobbled up the food back in front of me without caring about it. I heard her footsteps getting away.

“ zahra, where is my food?” Ask Angkasa to wake me up. Yes, I did not realize that I had eaten two bowls of meatballs at once. Maybe because it was presented a tense drama earlier.

“ I ate. Who told you to just fight with Widia.” My answer is light without guilt. Hearing my answer. Space I saw smiling. Maybe he felt pretty funny about my behavior. He also ordered for her.

“ you want to nambah”.

“ I'm full”

He thinks my stomach is rubber. Can you hold that much food? Two glasses of iced tea, two bowls of meatballs have disappeared I voraciously make me feel claustrophobic because of the satiety.

“ zahra. Here's your bag missed.” Wahda came up to me and handed me my purple bag. Indeed, I did not have time to take it in the orientation place because Angkasa continued to hold me from that place.

“ thanks wahda. You want to go home?” My toot.

“ yes. You also... “ he did not continue his speech because he realized Angkasa was there.

“ yes already, I first yah” he said and passed away leaving us.

The space then took me home. Again I met widia in the parking lot. He kept looking at me with a hostile look. I just kept quiet. And not respond to it at all. The space car sped up quickly leaving the University of Angkasa Wijaya. Space brought me to a shopping mall. This time he took me to a jewelry store.

“ please show us a pair ring that matches both of us.! “ space words to the store owner.

“ well sir. Wait a minute yah!” He turned around and picked up a pair of rings for us. Space grabbed my hand and tried to put a ring on my ring finger. It seems like the ring suits me as well as space. I saw the price on the purchase note. The price is fantastic. One hundred and twenty-five million for the pair of rings we wear today. I took a deep breath out towards the car.

“ for what. You bought this expensive jewelry for me?” I asked so I sat on the car.

“ just as a symbol that we are really a pair of lovers” he said smiling.

Where are lovers from? We are just a contract couple. He could have bought some imitation jewelry for me if it was only used for that symbol. You strange man. My grunts in my heart.

All the way home, he kept trying to be nice to me. Maybe to launch that plan. I just sat quietly not budging. Sometimes he looks at me. Then turn on the music.

Listen to my lady

I'll tell you tonight

Sacred desire for you my goddess

Listen to this seriousness

The first and last

Don't you refuse and make me broken

I won't repeat to ask

This one belief in my heart

I am the best for you

Listen to the woman of my dreams

I'll tell you tonight

The sacred promise of one forever

Listen to this seriousness.

The song sounds beautiful. If only it were the voice of Space. Deggg, I'm starting to imagine the undue. Realize your zahra is just a contract wife. No more, don't expect too much from Space. I tried to shake my mind. It didn't feel like we were in front of my house. Seen from far away a luxury car parked.

“ whose car is it? Tumbens. Is that grandma's guest? Ahh, it's impossible. So far no such car has visited kemari”, I said slowly but may still be heard by Angkasa.

” Why are you talking like that? Read the mantra? So I'll fall in love with you?”

“Ciiiiihhh. Don't stray. I was just wondering whose car it was” I said while pointing towards the car.

“ oooh. That's papa mama” car he replied lightly.

“ haaaaahhh? Papa mama? What are they here for? Where does he know my home address?”

“ from the whisper of the wind!! From me lah”

“I'm not kidding Space, I'm serious.” Saying to him.

“ I'm serious too, maybe they're here to talk about our marriage” that remark surprised me so much.

“ you're kidding right?”

” Does my face look like I'm joking? We better go in first” he said as he pulled my hand into the house. Hmm, the weirder this guy is. I own the house, even he acts as the owner of the house.

“ this is my home. Without you telling me I would definitely enter”

“ Yes, soon this house will be my home too.”

“ what do you mean?!” He didn't answer me. He used to get me into the house. I breathed a heavy breath. But follow him in. When we arrived at the living room. I saw Aunt Elisha and Om Agus talking to Grandma, it looked very serious.

“ Assalamualaikum” say we are together. Those who were talking turned their eyes towards us.

“ exactly once you guys have arrived. We're talking about your wedding date?”

“Wedding date?!!” We screamed and looked at each other not understanding.

“ yes, your wedding date. You're Hana's granddaughter? This is a good sign” said om agus while looking at me.

I'm getting less and less understood. Do they know each other?? I told myself to ask.

“Sorry to om. Do you know my grandmother?

“Oh of course I know him very well, he is a friend of my late mother. He also donated his kidney to me. I owe him my life”

Again I am more confused. Kidney donation? So all this time grandma often complains of stomach pain because of that?. What else is this?? I was getting less and less powerful standing, as my sight faded. And I collapsed too....

Slowly I opened my eyes. Now I am in my bedroom. Now I see Grandma looking anxiously at me.

“ you why son? How you feel. Is it a little better?” I nodded slowly.

” zahra. Forgive me, for not telling you from the beginning. That's because grandma is afraid, you will worry about grandma later” he said while bowed. I don't know what to say. My tongue was mute, I was mute at the time. Only tears can speak. I grabbed my grandmother's shoulder and hugged her..

“ forgive om zahra, I do not know what om said earlier made you like this” said om Agus.

“ is okay om. Om not wrong, I just a little shock” said I while smiling to om agus.

“ I am grateful to be reunited with ma'am hana. And it turns out soon we will become a family” he said while smiling towards the Space.

“ aunt please, you take care of zahra's health. Three days later you will have your wedding. Faster better.”

I can only bow down lethargic. Soon they left my room. Only Space still stands, I don't know what it will say. He walked towards me.

“ zahra. I'm sorry I've taken you further and further into my troubles. And now our parents will marry us. But believe me, I didn't know that they would act this far”

I just kept sobbing and shedding tears. I'm getting married soon, but it's not the marriage I dreamed of. Marrying someone I don't love and love. What kind of marriage is this? So what about my future? My lecture. But all for grandma's sake, at least I can still make Grandma happy by agreeing to this marriage.

“ zahra, if indeed you do not agree with this marriage. I could have canceled it” he said while wanting to step away from me. But I took his hand as I could.

“ space brothers, I do not want this marriage. But I'd rather not see your parents and my grandmother grieving over this. That's why I'm willing to marry you.” My speech.

“But how is zahra possible? You don't love me. We just got to know each other. What about your heart. I bet you already have someone in your heart!” I took a deep breath hearing the words of Space. I remember one name that filled my heart long ago.

“ I did love someone but he's not for me. I also can't possibly keep wanting it because she loves my best friend” I tried to open up to Space. He should know this anyway.

“ but I've tried to bury my race deeply. I will try to rearrange my heart. Opening a new page for the happiness of grandma”, I looked up at Angkasa.

“ then what about you? Is this what you want?” Tanyaku later.

“ anything for the happiness of my parents.” Answer's short. It turns out he was a pretty devoted child to his parents.

“ then why don't you accept your match with Widia?!” I'm trying to figure it out.

” Hmmm, that's an old story. I'm not interested in women like widia”

“ widia beautiful girl, rich, from a distinguished family. What is her lack?”

“ someday you will know it yourself zahra. Now we better focus on our wedding plans. We just follow their request, I can no longer think of anything. But you don't think I've fallen in love with you well!!”

“ you will definitely fall in love with me. I'm pretty enough.” My confident soul exploded so hard that Angkasa was carried away and then looked back at me with a gaze that was difficult to interpret. He's really very handsome. It is fitting that students on campus call him the conqueror of the heart. A bit too much anyway! But the truth is, he is so perfect. Why did I come back to praise him????
