A beautiful woman sits alone in a corner of a cafe. His two hands face up folded, resting on both elbows. While his head lowered down, his forehead rested on the back of his hand with his eyes closed. I feel the days he went through were heavy and draining of heart. His sleep was disrupted with his meal.
People are starting to find out about the news of her wedding being canceled. Every time you cross paths with neighbors in the residential complex area, it is not uncommon for anyone to whisper, gossip about it. There are also those who blatantly ask where people gather so as to make it look embarrassed in public. As well as her friends in the office, they secretly talk about Mira in the back.
What's wrong, until it has a big impact on him. In this case he is neither a suspect nor a victim. But their views seemed to sneer, judge, and bully the bitter fate that was happening to him. The pain and pain he felt. Shame and discomfort when it comes to being in front of people.
Unlike usual, Mira who is cheerful and what is as if destroyed like in the swallow of the earth. Because he is more often seen silent, moody and aloof. Even Jona is often caught monitoring Mira from afar. Mira knew that. However, he pretended not to know because he did not want any more interaction with the man who had given color in his life while scratching the wound in his heart.
"Mir, if sleepy it's not even hanging out in the cafe!"
"I've noticed you're alone here?"
"Wouldn't your problem be yesterday?"
"Or is he still chasing you?" suddenly Abiyu was already sitting in front of him with a long question.
Mira looked up while lowering her hand.
"Sister Abi didn't take the wrong medicine, did he?" ask Mira.
"Why? I'm not sick why take medicine!" abiyu.
"Statengs directly nyerocos and love questions in a row. Usually also stingy talk, why just talk a lot!" mira.
"Hahhhaha, what am I?" ask Abiyu.
"Hhhhhh....!" Mira sighed heavily while throwing her face to the side.
"Sister Abi what's here?" ask Mira.
"I'll see you here. Talk about work!"
"It's okay, I'm sitting here. Rather than you being alone, you're considered a weird chick!" abiyu.
Mira stared intently at Abiyu. Not yet had he responded, there was a woman approaching and joined their table.
"Hi, Bi. Uda long waiting for him?" ask the woman.
"No, just now! Oh yes Sheil, meet me, happened to meet here," said Abiyu.
"Sheila!" sheila said introducing herself as she extended her hand to shake hands.
"Mira!" mira answered briefly.
The cafe waiter came to offer a menu book to their face. The two of them ordered their food.
Mira was stirring a straw in her glass. And, only occasionally glanced at the interaction of the two.
It was like seeing the other side of Abiyu. Because, he who is usually irritable in talking suddenly looks a lot of talk when chatting non-stop with his friend. Even the two of them were too engrossed, regardless of Mira being there.
However, it is not important to Mira. He doesn't care about it. Because, right now all he thinks about is when the problem is finished. Once the drink runs out Mira intends to go home first. Because sabentar again he had to deliver opa and oma to the airport.
Because of his marriage with Jona in aborted opa and his oma finally returned to his hometown.
There was a chat from his mother who asked Mira to come home soon. Finally he resigned himself to Abiyu.
"Sister, I'm going home. It's been in the same WA, Mama. Assalamu'alaikum!" pamit Mira is short, clear and compact.
"Oh, yes. Be careful!"
"Wa'alaikumussalam" replied Abiyu.
*****
Day after day, Mira began to toughen and indifferent with the words of people. For a long time the people who often menggunjingnya also cape themselves. But it is not denied that his mood has not returned. He forgot how to smile and joke.
Several times Abiyu greeted Mira if she came to eat at the restaurant owned by Maya's mother. He greeted me just to give comfort. He's been in position, Mira. So that he knows what his name is broken heart is like.
However, it actually makes Mother Maya misunderstand. Mother Maya thinks her son and Mira are close. And, intend to match them. They were just ordinary talk.
****
"Sister, sit here awhile, Mother wants to talk to you," said Mother Maya.
Abiyu, who was about to leave, disengaged her intention and complied to sit beside her mother.
"What's up, Bun?" abiyu asked after sitting on the sofa next to Maya's mother.
"Where are you going?" ask mother.
"Obiasa Bun, meet you. Coincidentally Abi's friend invited cooperation to establish a cafe. And he wants to collaborate using some of our restaurant menus to make the menu in the cafe," said Abiyu.
"Alhamdulillah, the mother's child is increasingly succesful and facilitated his provision. But, there's one drawback, you're too busy making a career to forget about finding a wife."
"Sister, let's get married, the mother has been eager to see her brother married and married," said Maya mother to her eldest son.
"Hhh...! Bun, Abi will definitely get married but not now. Abi has not found the right one to make a wife," Abiyu refused.
"Aren't you close to Mira? Mommy thinks lately you guys have been chatting together, "last year.
"Me and Mira are nothing, Bun. I just sympathize with him, that's nothing more."
"That's because you never open your heart. Try to be more sensitive to the women around you. Look at them with love. How you used to be so easy to like Reyna and now you can't. That's because you keep locking your heart tight. So useless if there is a woman who approaches and knocks but you do not want to open it.
"Well what should I do, Bun. Nothing caught my attention."
"Love can grow out of habit, Bi. I would recommend a few names. Marry the woman you choose from whom you recommend. And as time goes on, you are sure to grow in love if you want to try to grow that love!" the Mother of Maya.
"It sounds almost the same as arranged marriage," said Abiyu who hesitated to agree with her mother's proposal.
"That's almost the same as ta'aruf, Bi. It's better than a blind date. What if one of them is a psychopath or has other intentions to cheat. It is better to remember some that we know the person," said Mother.
"The heart of people who know, Bun. It could have been good from the outside, but it turned out to hold a lot of mysteries in his life that he hid," Abiyu said.
"Ahh you are already suudzon so the same as everyone else. It's hard if you can't trust other people that way," Mother began to feel annoyed with her child.
"Who do you recommend to Abi?" Abiyu.
"Mega and Mira. His father Mega has repeatedly asked Mother, to match you. Mega own Mother knows that she often notices you and discusses about you if you meet Mother in Jogja."
"If Mira, Mother sees that she is a good and faithful child. You are a lot of diem and Mira a jolly child so that Mother feels you will be balanced. How's it?" ask Mommy.
Abiyu fell silent fondling the words of his mother. He was doubtful about the idea of the mother. As if there was no strong urge to do so. But he hasn't tried it yet.
Should I do what you want? Why not be sure to choose one of them. Mega was a good co-worker and we were as thought about managing the restaurant. But I'm not sure of his personality. Mega's social environment is full of frenetic, making me doubtful. Although Mira....
