...60. Follow Your Heart's...
“Sas, I leave Saturday morning. I can't see elo dong!” sukan Sinta on the phone. Sounds disappointed. After he told the 1-day procession he had to follow the flush, then midodareni on Friday.
“What, lo, can still be a witness when I marry sorenya.”
“Yah .. whereas I am an important person who splashes holy water into your body,” sneer Sinta.
He hissed. Then laugh mockingly, “If you love flush to me, it means you enter elder dong.”
“Definitely! In number, I am younger. But in terms of household experience, I can be classified as older than lo.”
“Ya .. yes, sendika dawuh Ndoro Putri ...”
Sinta on the other end of the phone laughed.
Today and tomorrow, he really spends his time with his family. Seeing mom and dad often together despite Miko and her mom. But that's not about. Mom and Dad were together for their reasons.
Gama said he wanted to meet his colleagues at the restaurant they had been to via message. It turns out that the man still took the job in the middle of his retirement. He shook. Remembering that man was not tired. So excited. Although the man should have prepared himself for their wedding. Yes, he can't ban it either.
Sasmaya decided to take a short walk. The day began to change. The sun also looks bright. But the air in Kemuning is very cold.
The steps stop at the park. Where he and Gama were once here. It used to be still in the form of a park that was not so big with a small river flow. Now a wider park equipped with children's play areas, such as swings, slides, seesaws and carousels.
Likewise with the small river, neatly arranged. By maintaining its natural form.
Walk more up through the path made of pieces of mountain rock. He stopped his pace when he saw Miko standing next to each other. Right in front of the waterwheel made of bamboo.
“Mbak why are you here? Not anymore in the ring.” Miko told him despite not seeing his whereabouts.
“Again want to go for a walk.”
“Again want to walk what sfor?”
“Can both.”
Both of Miko's hands that folded in front of her chest came apart. Now one hand goes into his pants pocket.
“You alone?” tanyakanya. Earlier when he asked Miko's absence at breakfast to papa, he said Miko was with her friend who also happened to be on vacation in Kemuning.
Miko says, “Biasalah.”
The corner of his lips is visible. Then slowly left his step-sister.
“We're happy to get married!” miko toilet. Make the swing of his steps stop.
“At least Papa load reduced. And Papa just focus on me,” continued Miko.
But he did not respond to Miko's words. He turned back his steps straight up.
“Mbak!” miko Exclamation. Want to say if at the top of the park there is a family of his sister-in-law. Upright. Sasmaya was already looking away. He kicked a pebble not far from his foot, saying, “arrgh!”
While further exploring the pieces of rock it passes through, the more beautiful the scenery passes through.
He thought the Banyu Mili that Gama built would not be like this. Apparently, it was just beyond her expectations. Spacious, beautiful, beautiful landscape and presenting a natural feel as creative as possible. Not yet the golf course facilities that will be built soon are still close to Banyu Mili.
The sound of someone's conversation is heard. Behind him.
“Mas Gama what is the condition?”
Steps ceased. Fixated. Hearing the figure of Gama mentioned.
“His bones are cracked! What about the others?”
What happened to that man?
“Mas, 2 more days of their wedding. Didn't we tell Sasmaya?”
“Mama, no Aunt Sas.” Kae who just came to tell her whereabouts not far from Widiya. Making pregnant women look back. “Sas .. you—”
“I heard it, Ma'am. Why Gama, where? What the hell's going on? Please tell me ...”
All of a sudden he twisted his heels. Run down the path on the bank of a small river. He followed his heart.
“Mas Gama accident. Don't worry, Sas. Mas Gama has been treated by a doctor. And there's Mas Affan and Papa there.”
How not to worry, if 2 more days is the wedding day. Her future husband is lying in the hospital.
“Mbak Sas why?” ask Miko who was still standing at the place she was. Wonderful looking at him who looked confused. In a hurry. Also panting to catch his breath.
“Mik, please take me to the hospital. Now!” her door.
“Lho .. What do you want to do in the hospital? Who is sick? Mbak again pinned, can't go anywhere-ma—“
“Come quickly!” He pulled Miko's shirt. Invite his sister to leave immediately.
Miko had to follow him. Though his heart and mind refused. But there was a little pity to see her brother who panicked.
“Mbak, I told you Papa first. Car keys held Papa.” Miko was about to head to the area where her family was staying. Quickly it ambushes, “don't!” disallow.
He was sure that all his family would not agree to see Gama's condition. While he wanted to make sure of himself. He saw the man lying in the hospital. At least today he can still come out, before tomorrow he has to undergo a ritual procession before marriage.
“Mbak we wear what?” miko asked after the two arrived at the pendopo where dinner was at that time.
Seeing the security resort passing by, he immediately approached it. Borrowing a vehicle owned by the security officer.
Security was doubtful at first. But by mentioning the name of Gama and is his future wife who will get married tomorrow. Security is nodding. Hand over the motor key.
“But be careful, yes, Bu?” security message to him. Shows the motorbike parked in a special area of the motorbike.
“Still, Sir,” Reply. Handing the key to Miko. “I don't want to, Ma'am who brought,” agile Miko.
Don't argue. He put the key in its place. Helmet wearing. So too with Miko. Then hurry up. Do not forget to give a horn to the security who stood staring at them. The security looked down for a moment and smiled. For him when else could be this close to his boss's future wife.
“Mbak not wrong? Why don't we use Papa's car!” Miko spoke to him. A little closer to his head.
Sure. If you use papa's car, his family won't let him go. Because it was discovered, he left Banyu Mili. Also, with a vehicle belonging to the family of her future husband. With Widiya banning it, it means the same thing.
“If later Papa is angry with me, Mbak who must be responsible. Defend me!” miko's pissed off. He does not want to be stricken with papa's anger. All this time, maybe his stepbrother didn't know. That he is always compared to the woman who rides a motorcycle in front of him. Papa said a little, “Mbakmu is diligent, smart. Your mother was .. obedient. Your mama, don't care like you. Your mother is independent ... Maqirou ... Mbakmu ..” Sasmaya has always been papa's benchmark for him.
While he did not press Miko. His mind and heart were focused on Gama. He did not know clearly because the man had an accident. It's just that Widiya said, there was a fracture in the left arm. And do not know how the condition of Gama certainly.
But he followed his heart more. That he should see Gama. Now either.
“Mbak,” call Miko.
“Mbak!” miko patted her shoulder again. “In front there is police raid.” Miko saw a sign telling her there was a riding raid.
Sasmaya began to slow down the speed of the bike. One of the officers told him to pull over. Another officer in full dress with a bright green vest told him to stand in line. With other motor vehicles.
“Happy day!” another police officer approached them. “Can you request his driving completeness letters?”
Sasmaya got off the seat. So did Miko who went down first. He handed SIM C to the officer. Which he took from the wallet, which he deliberately brought with his cell phone in it.
“STNK?” ask the Police.
He looked at his sister. Pimply. They forgot to borrow STNK motorbike so rushed. It was unthinkable that there would even be a police raid check on a street like this.
“Can I borrow his STNK?” repeat the officer. Because he did not immediately submit the letter requested by the officer.
He shook. Miko just looked at him annoyed, then said, “How-ever, Ma'am. We're dealing with the police,” he said.
“Because you can't show STNK while driving. Then we have the right to ticket. As per traffic and road transport law no.22 of 2009. Article 106 paragraph 5, that during the inspection of motorized vehicles on the road everyone who drives ranmor is obliged to show, among others, STNK or STCK and SIM. Article 288 paragraph 1. That any rider who is not equipped with a Motor Vehicle Letter and Motor Vehicle Trial Letter, can be punished with a maximum imprisonment of 2 months or a maximum fine of 500 thousand,” Bright Mr Police. Length width. And he could only gape when on the last sentence.
“Wait-wait, Sir. I want to get married there is no way I am in jail because I do not use STNK. Keep my marriage how, 2 more days I want to get married, sir. Father tega!” Panicked. This is the first time he has dealt with the police. Who is not afraid of being threatened with prison. How is the fate of her marriage?
“Mbaknya wrong. Already violated traffic,” stressed the officer.
He looked at Miko. Then turn to the officer who is still staring at him.
“I beg you, Sir. I'm going to the hospital. My husband's potential accident. I don't know how he is. I ... should get there immediately. I have to see my future husband immediately,” the door is I want to leave. “2 days I want to get married. 2 days more, Sir. If you don't believe me, I can call the hospital. I was in a hurry. So forgetfulness doesn't bring STNK. This is the bike I borrowed from the security hotel. I assure you, this is not a stolen motor, and look,” he showed the back plate number. “Still active. Pay the tax is also still a long time,” cerocosnya explained. He no longer knows what to say.
The policeman shook his head. Please allow himself to go to the designated table.
His emotional control is starting to get messed up. “OK. If you want it like this. It means you don't support me getting married. Indirectly you also pray for me a lifetime. I failed to marry.”
“Mbak, Sister Sas!" Miko. Follow shook.
He wiped away his brazen tears. I don't know why his mood was suddenly out of control. Time seems to slow down. There are still 1 line of people in line to get a ticket. I don't know what number.
Almost 20 minutes in line he finally got a ticket. Give up his SIM seized by the officer. Tell Miko to ride her bike.
During the trip, both were silent. Until he arrived at the hospital he just left Miko with the helmet he handed to his sister. The pace was very fast towards the ER room. Before entering he reconfirmed the guard there. And it turns out that the man was indeed in the room which is still the same as the information Widiya provided.
Slowly step forward. His hand was about to break the curtain that became the cover as well as the bulkhead. But when he heard Gama's voice.
“I can't, Vi. I cannot marry her ...”
He eared.
“I can’t do it. I can't marry Sasmaya. I won't be able to marry.”
His head shakes in disbelief. This voice that was so fixed in his heart and so desired revealed something too painful.
Not likely.
It's just a dream, isn't it?
Damn chest that had been tight, now increased spill. Something pierced him like a dagger. Tears that had spilled due to fear of prison because his marriage threatened to fail, now added.
If the Police Officer gave me a red-slipped ticket. It is considered less cooperative. So too with Gama. Hope was forced to stop here.
The marriage will not happen.
Gama will not marry her. The man did not want marriage.
How is it different with Elena? Why did Gama treat her the same as Elena?
“Why not get married? By marrying your parents will definitely bless your relationship?"
“That's a deal. He doesn't want. And I am also.”
“If getting married has been your decision, I hope it is not a diversion.”
Slowly step back. His hand wiped his wet cheek.
“Distant before Mas Gama went to the Netherlands taking care of Pak Sofyan's hotel there. Actually Mbah Heti also ordered Mas Gama's wedding kebaya and his future wife here. But it turns out they are not destined to be a match.”
Keep retreating by smothering his own mouth to hold back the crying that started uncontrollably.
Right on the ER terrace, he turned the heel. Surprised when in front of him stood Sofyan and Affan.
He shook. Swiping away the tears that slide across the cheeks. Thudding controls his voice that suddenly choked.
“All decisions are in your hands, Sas. Papa and Gama will receive it.” Sofyan straightened out. He knows Sasmaya may have known the true condition of her first child.
He shook his head again.
“This wedding happened or not, you are still Papa's child,” Sofyan added. Seeing Sasmaya's messy and chaotic condition, he felt guilty. Has involved Sasmaya in this. “Papa apologizes,” regrets.
He could only shake his head for luck.
