36 Ikbal Disappointment 2

All the way home,

Ikbal who drives his own car, drives his car at high speed. Until Iwan and Roby are overwhelmed chasing the speed of Ikbal's car.

Ikbal's tears kept dripping, his heart was so sore, it felt so tight.

Ikbal's car stopped at the lake where he and his three best friends spent the weekend while still in school.

The atmosphere of the lake is so quiet, the originally clear sky becomes suddenly cloudy, I don't know maybe nature also understands how Ikbal's sadness.

"hhaaaahh" Ikbal shouted breaking the silence of the lake this afternoon.

"why der, why you married another man, all this time Lo refused me but Lo instead married a man who just Lo know" Ikbal ruffled his hair in frustration.

She had never been this sick, her heart really hurt to see the girl she loved so much already being the wife of a man she had just met.

From a distance Iwan and Roby only pay attention to what Ikbal is doing,

"gue did not expect Dery to marry this soon rob," said Iwan still do not believe the decision Dery took.

"yes I was also surprised, but how else Dery married." Roby remembers Dery's explanation.

"Lo samperin Ikbal is like him, only Lo can calm him down." Iwan pushed Roby.

"go try, hopefully he'll beat me" Roby walked up to Ikbal sitting on the grass.

"bal, there's nothing to be sorry about, I know Lo must be sick.

but Dery must have had a good reason why he got married so soon." Roby sat down beside Ikbal hugging his shoulders soothingly.

"we don't know what happened to Dery, we can't be angry with him." continued Roby.

"but rob, you know how unfortunately I'm the same Dery, why he's the same me. what's less I rob." Ikbal hid his face behind his arm.

"Lo no less any bal, I know Dery actually love you, but between you there is a glass wall that is difficult for Dery to pass." Roby sentence managed to make Ikbal look up.

"do you mean Lo rob? what do you mean by that? if Dery loves me why he refuses me, and now he's marrying someone else." force Ikbal

Finally Roby explained what really happened a few years ago.

"actually Dery also love lo bal, from the past in fact, he refused Lo not because he did not like Lo, but because Mama Lo asked." Roby started telling stories

"Lo still wants the first time Lo revealed Lo's feelings to Dery, but he asked for time to answer. At that time he already wanted to answer yes, but nyokap Lo came to school and warned Dery not to hope to be able to relate to Lo more than friends, I was there rob, I was there, I'm sorry you don't want your son to have a special relationship with a poor girl like Dery.

And Lo must know, Dery never refused the request of our parents, how he respected our parents so much." Roby took a deep breath considering how broken Dery was at that time.

"so Lo knew from the beginning and Lo didn't tell me I was rob, what kind of friend do you?" pull the end of Roby's collar and push it roughly. Roby just kept quiet not retaliating or defending himself, he knew the reality Ikbal was facing was very hard.

"gue can do bal, I tried to persuade Dery to make the same story Lo, but he did not want to. Dery was once more devastated than Lo when Lo nyokap Lo ngehina him, no, which makes him destroyed because of the nyokap Lo ngehina his parents. I'm sure Dery won't get married this fast without a good reason." Roby tries to calm Ikbal down.

Two bitter realities that Ikbal must feel today, disappointment multiplied in his heart.

Disappointment because the girl he loves has belonged to another man,

as well as the disappointment because of the barrier to his relationship during this time was his own mother.

Even after a long time he only found out if his mother was the one who made Dery undo the intention to want to be in a relationship with him.

"before we really know what reason Dery married secretly, we can't get angry or judge him bal," Ikbal tapped his shoulder corroborated.

"even if we knew what it was that could change what happened? not rob, he still belongs to someone else." Ikbal's voice sounded desperate.

"at least there's no secret between us." stood pulling Ikbal's hand "we're back, Lo's a mess, later mistaken for a tramp." forced Ikbal into his car. He will not leave Ikbal with this condition.

Whatever the reason Dery got married, at least if they knew, it wouldn't have changed the mass, but they could have helped Dery improve the future.
