Life is a choice

I have accepted him

choose from two people with

offering the existing asa

Do I have to hang on to this choice

following the heart

or switch to another option

following rational thoughts and desires

After the meal we chose to continue together by visiting the beach that is not too far from the seafood stalls. Continuing the conversation about the Bian family.

"Papa still insisted I marry Tasya because this marriage would strengthen my position and mama is in the Danny Anugrah family."

We walked along the beach enjoying the conversation with the wind and the occasional touch of the waves coming towards our bare feet.

"If your father were acting like that. What about your mama?"

"Mama wants me to be happy in my own way. He left all the decisions to me." The beach breeze playing Bian's haircut creates a swish in my heart.

"Who asked for this match, Bian?".

"Tasya, he likes me. A girl who was treated like a princess from childhood. He's still Danny Anugrah's grandparents. A girl who is used to getting what she wants. He's actually nice but doesn't want to get rejected"

There was pain in my heart hearing Bian's words. Is this jealousy?. Bian is not the grandson of Danny Anugrah in contrast to his twin brother whose mother is the daughter of Danny Anugrah. This is what prompted Papa Bian to ask him to accept Tasya.

I concluded that Bian wanted to be accepted into Danny Anugrah's extended family. This means that they have not been considered as a big family. Is this really my guess? I wanted to ask but felt sad.

"When I was a child, it was always a question of why Brother Danar and Diandra are so dear to grandparents. They used to spend holidays and walk together but ever since I found out who the woman in the family photos of grandparents is. I know they're grandchildren and I'm not."

"What about your mother's family."

"I'm close to my mother's family. My maternal grandparents are from this city. Ruko in sudirman street was once the land of grandparents who were handed down to mama then by papa made shophouse . My childhood when school holidays were often spent in this city."

"Now where does your mom's grandparents live?".

"When I was in high school, my grandmother, my grandfather and my brother died in a car accident. Since they died I rarely came back here. When papa and brother Danar opened a business here. I can go back and meet the girl I like."

"sorry"

"Hide sincerely unconditionally." I repeated Bian's final words.

"Yes is inversely proportional to the family of Danny Anugrah's grandfather. Unknowingly the matchmaking they arranged hurt my heart and mama. As if a condition for me and my mom to be fully accepted into their extended family."

Bian stopped his steps and looked at me. His eyes looked hurt. Of course his mother's marriage was 27 years. Caring for Danar and Diandra the son of his first husband and wife, Laura's daughter Danny Anugrah. Living side by side for 27 years but not yet fully considered a family.

"They're afraid that if they think of us as Danny Anugrah's family then there's a treasure that will fall on me. That's why I don't want to join my grandfather's company but manage the purest business of my parents' wedding treasure."

"Complicated"

"Papa remains the birth father of Danar and Diandra. Our family fortune also belongs to twin sisters. I finally decided to flee to this city. Building his own business and refusing an arranged marriage with Tasya."

"But Danar is following you." I remembered the same Danar who was in this city.

"I've said many times he's a protective brother". Danar laughed a little like me.

"The silly little brother Danar should be worried about is he who is still single at the age of three heads."

"Sister Danar is mostly having fun. Her boyfriend I used to love when I found out I wasn't Danny Anugrah's real granddaughter. Refusing me outright he chose to approach Kak Danar."

"She's so pretty" I can't hide the insecure feelings with the woman Bian once dreamed of.

"But you're awesome, baby. You're tough, funny and fun."

"Wait.. Wait for. Funny?"

"Yes, you're very interesting, honey. I will defend you, Maharani Orchid but can you hold out for me?"

Bian tidied up my hair that was blown by the wind made my heart beat fast. He is the one who draws my heart but once again I must endure the obstacles of life.

"I'll try, Bian." I finally put out a word that really represents this feeling. I'll try to hold on.

"Thank you Maharani Orchid for the opportunity you gave. I know you're the great woman I chose, I love you."

I'll try to survive at least one piece of the puzzle has gained clarity. I have to face the other pieces again.

The sky on the beach started to turn orange. The wind started to subside and I knew once again my love life had to be tested.

One day passed again with his own story.
