BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 147: ABANDONMENT OF LOVE
Hearing the words of Ms. Melan who told Podin to tell the villagers, the women who came to the house of Podin, if Cik Melan was the future wife of Podin, he said, of course, in the heart of Podin said, this is an earnest speech, not just a charade, not just a way he did to tell the woman, these words were not just to drive away the women from their village who were many in their house. But those words had already pierced into the heart of Podin's heart, who usually considered Ms. Melan to be a financial officer at her place of business, beautiful women who are considered the smartest employees and are able to solve all company problems. Even critical moments, even during the fire in his karaoke building, Cik Melan was able to overcome all the problems faced in his place of business to the fullest. And the result is very satisfying.
But this time, Podin had another thought. Podin already thought the words of Ms. Melan was no longer funny, no longer a playword, because what he said to the village women, it turned out to feel strange on the lips of Podin. It was as if those words were directly anchored within the heart, permeating into its heart. And that means, there are other flavors that come to mind in Podin. He has begun to be interested in Ms. Melan, There is a bit of weirdness in Podin. Podin may have fallen in love with Ms. Melan.
"Pak Podin, this is I have to go home to Jakarta, to work. The taxi was waiting for me. Surely it will not be good too long the taxi stopped, because the taxi driver also needs to find money. Thank you Mr. Podin .... I order Mr. Podin to be careful in serving the women of the village, who at the house of Mr. Podin. Remember, Mr. .., they came here to have hope. Do not let Pak Podin disappoint them." said Ms. Melan who said goodbye to Podin will return to Jakarta, back to his place of business. And of course Ms. Melan will manage Podin's place of business as best she can.
"Why come home, Miss Melan ...?" ask Podin who is certainly a bit disappointed, because Miss Melan say goodbye home.
"Yes .., I will have to manage the business of Mr. Karaoke place in Jakarta. If I don't return to Jakarta, what will your business be like?" said Cik Melan who certainly reasoned appropriately.
"But .., I want to be accompanied to eat with Ms. Melan" said Podin who certainly had begun to harbor a sense of not wanting to be left by his treasurer. In his heart, Podin began to feel different vibrations. In his heart, Podin began to feel that he would miss Miss Melan.
"But, Mr. .., the taxi was waiting for me. It's a pity that he waited too long. The driver needs passengers to catch up on the deposit" said Ms Melan, who would have avoided lingering with Mr. Podin at his new home, because Ms. Melan was irritated by Podin's attitude. And of course if too long in the house of Podin, later he will be talked, will be gossiped by the women neighboring Podin in the village, especially the women who had come to the house of Podin.
Saying so, Miss Melan had already risen from her seat, and she would definitely head to the taxi that had been waiting for her from earlier. And without waiting for a reply from Podin, without waiting for the words that came out of the mouth of Podin, Ms. Melan immediately stepped out of the dining room, out of the house of Podin, and went straight to the taxi that had been waiting for him since he came to deliver it earlier.
Podin can't do much. Even Podin could not get the words out. Even the real Podin wanted to forbid the departure of Cik Melan, but that time his tongue was muddled. His lips could only tremble, unable to let out words. Podin could only get out of his house and look at Ms Melan who had gotten into the taxi.
Why did Podin tremble when he heard the words of Ms Melan who told him to say that Ms Melan was his future wife? Those words aren't true? So sincere are the words issued by Ms Melan? But why did those words seem to shackle his inner feelings? Those words seemed to have been pierced into the heart of Podin? Yes, like an arrow that glides fast and hits its target, such are the words of Miss Melan who was told to say Podin, an arrow of romance that pierced right into the heart of Podin's heart. Yeah, the arrow of romance. Apparently Podin has started getting hit by the arrow of romance on Ms. Melan.
The blue taxi sedan left the courtyard of Podin's house. Podin only looked at the departure of the blue taxi sedan car driven by Ms Melan. Podin can't do anything. Even to wave his hand he could not. His body was completely stiff like a statue. Only her lips were able to shake, mentioning the name of the woman who worked on the financial part of her business, softly without being heard, "Sik Melan ...."
"Lho .... Mr. Podin, how is his future wife coming home?"
"The girl left?"
"Kok said the future wife ... But just for a moment ...?!"
"What kind of woman is that? Cook nengok prospective husband kayak so ...?!"
"Anged, what ...?!"
"Jealous for us ...."
So booed the women of the neighbors of Podin, who were still at home
Podine. A lot of ugly talk comes out of their mouths. Of course, the women certainly did not want to be rivaled by the beautiful woman who had just left the house of Podin. And of course, they really hope to attract the heart of Podin.
But apparently, the voices of the women who mocked Ms. Melan had changed the attitude of Podin, had changed the mind of Podin, had changed the stance of Podin. If yesterday until just now, Podin smiled a lot, Podin laughed a lot, happy and excited to accept the presence of women whether it was a girl or a widow, who came to his house, who came to his house, but this time, after Cik Melan's departure, Podin saw the people in his house as despicable women, as ignorant women, as cheap women.
True as Ms. Melan said to him earlier, if the women who arrive like that are women who have no self-esteem, women who only hope to get attention from Podin, the woman who had the goal of being Podin's wife. Because they only see the wealth of Podin. And such women are not good women, not women who have a sincere heart, but they only look at Podin from his wealth. They want to get closer to Podin because Podin is a rich man. If the women could be the wives of Podin, they would expect only from his wealth, not sincere love, not a good heart.
So Podin immediately did not speak the words of the women in his house. Podin stupid, no longer take care of the women who sit in the living room chair, even on the porch of the house. But Podin went straight into the house. Podin straight to the dining room.
At the dining table, Podin opened a plastic package of crackles carried by Ms Melan who had been placed on the table. Podin wanted to know what it was. And it turns out, it's a ketoprak. Yes, Podin's favorite Jakarta food, deliberately brought by Cik Melan far from Jakarta, only to send a pack of ketoprak to Podin. But not a pack, two packs. Yes, Podin looked at the two packs of ketoprak inside the plastic crackle. Surely Miss Melan wanted to eat the letoprak together with her boss. But unfortunately, Podin has been mobbed by many women. It must be Ms. Melan's heartache. Surely Ms. Melan did not want to see the women in the house of Podin. And of course, Ms. Melan immediately left two packs of ketoprak on the dining table. Even without having time to say that he brought his favorite food Podin.
Of course Podin is sorry. Surely Podin was disappointed. Podin really blames himself so much, why is all this happening? Podin should have been able to eat ketoprak with Ms. Melan, but now the person who is expected to eat with him is already gone, has left him, although the reason will take care of his place of business.
But for Podin, of course, the event had disappointed his heart. And Podin regretted that he had made Ms. Melan angry. And now, Podin can only look at the two packs of ketoprak, without being able to eat together with the person who brought it.
Yes .., Ms. Melan is indeed a beautiful girl, a smart girl, a smart girl. Honey, the pudding has wasted that chance. Will Podin go after Miss Melan? Does Miss Melan have the same feelings as Podin? So, to whom would Podin ask for the love of Miss Melan?
Well, if Podin really wants to know about the love that is in the heart of Ms. Melan, he must hurry to go to Jakarta, following the woman who has made her heart vibrate.
