Want a Life of Heaven

138. the day

The days that changed were almost countless

I kept convincing myself

Drawing your shadow in my mirror

Until that day changed, not felt

My distance and your distance are slowly eroding

Being as thin as the question 'You or not?

...

The day changed, the moon changed. Ramadan is just counting the days but that is not what is stirring Agnia at the moment.

The invitation has been spread, congratulations and do'a have come from many people. Decorations, wedding dresses, wedding organizers are all set up. All busy but not with the bride-to-be who spoiled all family members, so as not to stress and nervous excessive.

Khopipah who was also busy going back and forth almost combed all corners of his house, turned a glance at Agnia. Smiling thinly. Although tired, but his enthusiasm and happiness ahead of the marriage of his only daughter beat all other feelings. Just the joy and gratitude he felt.

Agnia had just finished peeling the jicama, cutting it into pieces as her phone rang. A plate of fruits that he peeled and cut, he handed it to Akbar.

"Hello.." Agnia brought the phone to her ear.

Akbar, who was sitting not far from Agnia, stared enthusiastically, preparing to interrupt if the caller was Akmal. "Who, Ma'am?"

"Silma."

"Oh.." Akbar immediately did not get excited, choosing to refocus on petis spices accompanied by jicama, young mango, cucumber, kedondong as well as other typical rujak fruit.

The two people since a few minutes ago had a storm concocting spices, cool both while the others were busy wara-wiri.

Agnia got up from her seat, not comfortable answering the phone in the atmosphere of the house that raami like this. "Just answer the phone first."

Akbar did not respond, instead continuing his activities. Buy one by one the fruit eaten with sambal concoction. Stupid about anything else, today's weather is burning it and it can only get better with a voice in front of it.

"Well, don't jump!" Yesa came not long ago, screeching from afar. Immediately take Agnia's seat earlier.

Akbar put on a flat face, his eyes actually squinted signifying the war he lit. The hand of Yesa that approached him hit slowly, a plate of fruit that finished cut Akbar away from Yesa, deliberately provoking the annoyance of his cousin's sister.

Yesa clicked, then hit Akbar's arm. Their war began at that very moment, when others were busy going back and forth in the spacious house preparing a wedding tour.

...

Throughout the chat with Silmi, only a smile could Agnia show. Women who last day were constantly nauseous and made them go in and out of the store several times, are now nagging him. Telling him this is about the abstinence of the bride, who was initially ordinary but after being asserted lazily just continued to grumble.

"Hemh, yes, I understand booze." said Agnia, this time it was softer when Silmi forbade him to eat spicy food. Detail, right?

There was a sound there, it seemed that Silmi was content to nag him. What is clear is that Agnia does not take a headache, after being rumored to be pregnant, Silmi is indeed a few times eager to vent her irritation by nagging her.

"Look?"

[Hemh.]

Agnia nodded back, never minding the ups and downs of the mood of pregnant women. A moment of smile suddenly appeared on his face. "It's like your son is a girl." he chirped.

[You think so?"] Silmi's voice sounded enthusiastic.

"Yes, because you're so rickety, keep fussing.."

[Isn't it really that?]

Agnia chuckled, nodding faintly. "Indeed, but now more.."

[Haha, but it could be. hopefully yes.] Silmk said sounding hopeful.

"So you want a girl first?"

[Not necessarily, I surrender. Healthy origin, congratulations. But the girl's first child will be a friend to her mother. Aren't you? I need him if that's it.]

"Agree . How is it the best.."

The day with the intensity of the many telephone lines today, Agnia finally breathed a sigh of relief after Silmi shortly cut off her phone call.

It's just that not too long ago, another call came. It was from Gian. Agnia was quite surprised, for a moment seemed to think. It's been a while since the man last contacted her, about a month or maybe longer.

"Hello.."

"What's up, sister, tumben.." Agnia knew Gian was busy, until such a question came out of her mouth.

[You don't want to ask me about brother first?]

"Emh. yes, sorry Brother... how are you?" suddenly, the young man was able to put him to extreme shame with just a simple question.

Gian was heard sniffing quietly over there. [Evil! You really do not want the same brother after the fiancee of the same child.. You did not even once contact brother, hemh?]

Hearing Gian's complaint made Agnia confused, plus the word 'the child he pinned on Akmal.

[Kidding, Agnia.] The remark took Agnia out of the prison of awkwardness.

"Hemh?"

Gian chuckles. [You are. Why is it that after trying so hard you are always awkward with me, Hem?. Unlike Akmal, even that fast you are comfortable with him. It sucks.]

Not knowing what to answer, Agnia just listened while looking away through the large window of her room.

After great consideration, Agnia agreed to return to her room. And here he was, in his spacious room, which he had lived for three years. Everything has changed, paint to the order of goods. It was very different and felt a new atmosphere, there were no special memories left in this room.

The weather is blazing, like supporting the happiness that is being created in the Fauzan residence. The sky was clear without clouds, blue all the way. Agnia turned her head when the door of her room opened, one of her tanti.

In this atmosphere, all enter and exit any room without obstruction.

"Pinjem mukena, De.." Agnia responded with a nod, to then return to face out the window. Continue hearing what Gian said after this.

[And with that brother has a conclusion. As hard as any try, in the end the flower will only be successfully picked by the right hand.].

Silent for a moment, after saying softly Gian even silent to think of what. Agnia could only conclude if Gian was hurt enough by their current state, given that the man kept his taste for so long.

For some things, Agnia was flattered to be liked so. When he thought his life was ruined and had no one after Adi betrayed him with Alisya, it turned out he had Gian. But it also caused guilt for him, he just could not bear to hear every speech Gian who sounded soft and deep in his ears.

[You know what that means?]

Gian's voice again brought Agnia out of her daydream, the man's tone returning to his usual intonation.

[I decided to move on! You don't have to worry or feel guilty about anything.]

"What about Sila, Brother?"

[Emh. I don't know, I don't know about that.]

Heavy help Agnia could hear, but Gian's answer to Sila felt better. Unlike before, who did not like and suddenly changed his war.

Just wait a while longer, Gian can definitely love Sila. Agnia felt sure of that.

[But for now, your happiness is the most important.so good luck, and happy always.. hemh? It's a do'a from a sister to her sister, seriously.].

Agnia chuckles, said the seriuan from Gian tickling her. Now it feels perfect, his life that he once considered sad was not that bad. The years he spent feeling unloved have now been replaced. The barrier has been revealed, God shows if the impediment he feels is due to his own mind.

He ignored it to understand that man only needs to be patient and open his eyes wide, there is no unreasonable sadness. There is no suffering that will not change happily.

The hoopla happened since dawn, Agnia who barely got a sleep ration was hunted to wake up as early as possible. All the splashy want to see, also immediately take a shower to wait for the order to dress up.

"Have you peed, brother?"

"Hemh?" Agnia slowly opened her eyes, the question was astonishing. He is still half self.

"Fear of the event later, brother kebelet peed. So it's better now that it's a kebelet." explained the middle-aged fairy with her friendly smile, stopping her hand movements for a moment recalling the thing she just asked.

Uh! Agnia now understands why her mother and her aunt last night repeatedly forbade her to drink a lot and eat juicy fruit, maybe this is one of the causes.

A moment of silence, Agnia was made to weigh. Do not know why it suddenly kebelet after the fairy asked.
