Between Me, You, And The Past
Garden Parties

On the way Nasha just looked at the window while crying without a sound. What is on his mind at this time is only the words and every action of his parents from the past until now. And Farzan only glanced occasionally and exhaled by holding back the emotion that had not disappeared since, but now the emotion was a little knocked out and left a great tightness because he saw his Arfa like that.

So long journey now they arrive at a big house that looks simple but looks so luxurious. It was the house Farzan prepared for his little girl. He thought he wouldn't take Nasha there but somehow he took her.

“It has arrived,” said Farzan while opening Nasha's door.

“Oh, yes,” reply Nasha who was surprised because she was from earlier daydreaming.

The two of them walked past the steps that led her to the high entrance but were also very beautiful. For a moment Nasha forgot her sadness and looked at the door until someone from inside opened the door.

“Goodnight Sir,” his reply while looking down respectfully.

“Night, Bu Ti,” reply was flat with a little nod of the head.

“I ask for help to prepare a room next to the main room for her temporary place,” Farzan told Bu Ti the head assistant at his house while glancing at Nasha who was next to him.

“Good Sir, Is there anything else?” tanyanya make sure before moving on.

“For a while no,” answers.

“Good sir, I excuse me,” said Bu Ti and passed to do the task given earlier.

After Bu Ti left, Farzan invited Nasha to sit in the living room while waiting for his room to be ready for use.

“Are you okay?” asked Farzan, but he knew for sure everything would not be okay.

“Mm. maybe, haha. I apologize for my family's treatment. If because of this you cancel this plan is okay, I still have another choice yesterday, maybe the last choice you can do. Talk to everyone, after all I will not go back there again, now I just need to raise a lot of money to be able to replace the cost of school and my other needs, he said, but indeed not all can be replaced with money, only I will try not to disappoint me too much,” replied Nasha with a bitter smile and also a drop of tears that dripped. It feels really stifling, Nasha's mind.

“What do you mean?” asked Farzan again with a little snapping because he was annoyed.

“Mm. sorry sir once again sorry, I can't continue everything. I am only afraid that this will harm many parties, especially the Father and family. I do not want to add any more new problems,” he replied with a straight look that looks empty and also tears that continue to flow without any sobs.

“What's with him? Is that how painful it is? Why do I feel that pain? It was so stifling to see him restraining all the emotions that were within him. Why is he so unwilling to harm others?” inner Farzan.

“I don't want to hear anything now. Bu Ti take him to the room,” said Farzan coldly and immediately asked Bu Ti to take Nasha to the room, when he saw Bu Ti down the stairs.

Without speaking again Nasha stood up and followed Bu Ti's steps towards the room she was going to wear. I don't know his mood is very bad so he's lazy to respond to anything. All he did from earlier was stare blankly ahead.

“Please Ma’am,” said Bu Ti when opening the room door.

“Thank you Mom, sorry for the trouble,” said Nasha who was a little jolted because she was daydreaming along the way.

“Not at all Ma’am, anything I can help you with again?” ask before retreating.

“No Ma'am, once again beloved Bu,” said Nasha and Bu Ti just smiled while bowing his head respectfully to leave Nasha alone in the room.

After Bu Ti came out, all Nasha did was sit in the middle of the bed and fold her legs and hands and bow her head. Crying out. Yeah that's what he did. Lamenting the very strange life itself is difficult, as hard as he can endure by always displaying his joy or carelessness when with his extended family or friends. No one knows how depressed he is with all the wishes of his parents, all the limitations, and also his abilities that make him like an object to be compared with others including his own sister.

“Is there no other way? Now what should I do? Sister... Where exactly is sister now? I really can no longer afford to end my life of innocence maybe it was a long time ago I did. But I know it is not a solution to the problem. But I really can't take it anymore. When did you come home and take me away? Do you know I'm getting married soon? Would you like me to marry someone else? Where did you promise first? Brother never came. Brother just lied to me. I will never trust you again. I no longer believe in humans, I no longer believe,” Nasha's inner self while continuing to cry.

...----------------...

Somewhere else...

Farzan was in his study on the 1st floor. Anger still lingered over his heart. Hearing Nasha no longer want to continue the marriage, inexplicably made her very angry. Not because of a broken agreement. But there was something else he didn't know what it was.

“What the hell is he?! Why did he say that. He should be happy because then he can leave the house. But why am I so angry with him? Isn't this just so Daddy doesn't match me with two-faced girls out there. But there is something that makes this heart hurt because of it. Outside he looks no burden, in fact he is a very fragile person. Somehow there was a desire to make him escape from all the pain he felt. But on the other hand, I can't because there's still Cha there. Ahkk...why is it so hard to find you.if you were here now, none of this would have happened,” angry, upset, sad mixed into one in Farzan's heart.

“Alright. I will try to remove all the flavors I have for him. I'm gonna run this wedding. It wasn't just drama or a breakup, it was marriage that took us to His heaven. Marriage should not be played. And if one day I meet Cha again, I hope he also has his own happiness,” said Farzan again.

...----------------...

A few days later...

Nasha doesn't know anything. He thought his parents were no longer angry. He thinks they've changed, in fact they're not all the same.

The event continues. The two families have known each other. Nasha has also been fitted with a diamond moon-shaped pendant and stars and rings on her left fingers by her future mother-in-law.

“Still yes Arfa. You already want to receive your child Mom, hopefully all launched until the day h yes,” said Zetta

“Iya Tan.. uh Mom means, I should say thank you because Mom wants to accept me in the Mom family,” said Nasha who was initially still rigid to call Zetta (wife of Zeroun), which is also known as Zetta, but he tried his best not to let her down.

“You are also Mom's child now, so don't hesitate anymore. And from today you come with Mom to the house until the time of the wedding,” said Zetta again, because in fact the Farzan family already knows all the problems that occur. Be it about the agreement until Nasha's own family. Nasha didn't know what else to say, so she just nodded her head.

Event after event went well. The series of events ended with a meal with a large family. Farzan's extended family, of course, because Nasha's parents had gone home first along with the invited guests. Maybe they are still upset or do not care, and Nasha tries to be ordinary with it all, but maybe when she herself will cry again.

“Ga thought I was the first Arza to marry. Though who has been dating my son Ema,” said Zetta's twin sister, Zenna.

“Yes we will also follow Ma, just wait for the play date,” replied Ema.

“Haha.. Na's.. Na.. you are always like that, when you used to marry me first I just don't get angry,” replied Zetta. Although their age is no longer young, but every time they meet there will certainly be an important fight, when they just meet they embrace like teletubbies plus a little spice drama from them.

“You always do if you meet, fortunately Zeroun and Gerald want to accept you like that,” said their mother Jasmine.

“Mother mah is always so,” sulk them both together.

“Mama equal Teteu rich little boy,” taunted Ema.

“Mom same Ateu mah has not been strange Em fight that time, if far away kangen until crying but have met at the beginning of a hug but afterwards rich gini debate mulu haha,” continued Farzan mocked and others laughed because of it including Nasha.

“Nah it dong Kak Sha laughing. It looks more beautiful if it is rich in gini,” said Aletta's sister from Farzan.

“Iya Sha, keep laughing, son. inget pesen granny, if until Farzan berkatin you and make you sad, you look for grandma and grandma will make you never meet again with the person who hurt you,” Jasmine told Nasha. Farzan's family mostly calls him Sha because it's easier to remember only Zetta and Farzan call Arfa to him.

“Hemm.. yes grandma, I will inget said grandma. Thank you grandma,” said Nasha with a smile. Wanting to hug Grandma but I was awkward and embarrassed, Nasha couldn't bear to cry but still she could stand it.

“Ke Grandma also loh yes, we will protect you if he does throw a tantrum. You calm down,” said Cerry Ibu from Zeroun.

“Makasih Grandma.. Mm.. can I hug you?” nasha was doubtful.

“Surely can dong dear, here,” reply Jasmine and Cerry together and they cuddle threesome. If anyone sees her it may be like a grandmother who is very dear to her biological grandchildren. Only a granddaughter. But indeed because this family loves each other, a small debate does exist only that it can be resolved for a moment and in their families far from the word envy or envy of fellow families. What their parents teach them is that they are the same and make no difference. Be this family always get along well and there is no misunderstanding with each other because communication is important, every month they always get together to always establish good communication.

“Duh ko I sirik yah, Kak Sha hugged grandma same Grandma very easy, whereas we only sometimes like hard to hug them, kudu lebaran first new hug,” said Aletta, said, because indeed every meeting they just shake hands, the reason is because they are both not comfortable if they have to hug if they meet, even if they are with their respective husbands they never miss hugging.

“Ya gapapa, this is granddaughter kok, if you guys are a display so gausah in the hug,” reply Jasmine.

“Yes, you can only hug just Lebaran, ordinary days apply only to Sha aja, absolute decisions,” said Cerry.

“Huh.. elders are never wrong,” says Ema.

“Hahaha,” the laughter of all those who were there for hearing their granddaughter sulking at her grandmother.

The excitement continued until the time showed the number 20.30 pm and then they returned to their respective homes, except for Nasha who returned to the house of Zeroun and Zetta.
