Blind Date's
67. A Torturing Week

...67. I Hate You but I Love You...

At night Sasmaya decided to go home. Because I want to see Ranti. Since returning from Kemuning last week. She knew her mother was disappointed in her. Who chose to cancel the wedding. Whether canceled or postponed until when he himself still has not decided. Still gamam.

Last communicated a few days ago, he said if he would interview the editor in chief. Asking for prayers, also Ranti's blessing. Ranti's answer made her crisp, “Whatever the height of a woman's office, don't forget her nature. Good luck.”

From there, he intends to meet his mother after the interview.

Ranti activity monitored through Susi. He often asked the news of his mother from the house assistant. She even asked Susi to stay with her mother for a while.

The taxi stopped right in front of the house. Mom's car looks parked along with the motorbike in the garage. Ranti's son has come home from the store.

Knocked a few times. Opening the door while saying hello. When he entered the house. From his current position, Sasmaya could see Ranti was arranging something on the dining table.

Randy looked at him for a moment. Then continue his activities. Recompose the items that made him take a deep breath. Eject slowly.

“You are flanked, Ma?” approaching the mother. Sit in one of the empty seats. Because, some of them contain items that have been repackaged Ranti.

“Mau restored,” say Ranti relaxed. Without seeing.

“M-ma ...,” sergeant. Stopped because mom chimed in.

“The wedding is off. So we have to return these hand-delivered items to them.”

It's menukas, “But, Ma. Sas haven't—”

“What are you waiting for, Sas? Waiting for Gama to heal? Who doesn't know when. Even Mama does not believe in the disease that is the reason,” refuted Ranti.

He looked to the right. Spreading views.

“Do not worry, Susi is not here.” Mom seems to know what she's looking for. “Today and tomorrow he does not enter work. The employees at the store do not know about your wedding. They know, Mama has a daughter-in-law rich, handsome, good ... also dream.” Ranti chuckles cynically. His eyelids felt the heat slowly radiating. “But, they don't know the truth ..” his lips are pessimistic.

“They tricked us. Tricked you. Shame on family .. subvert the happiness of Mama and you. Assume it can all be canceled at any time, however they want without a care at all.” Ranti said while tying the handover with a ribbon full of emotions. Her tears also shed her chest that had been held back.

“Ma,” he gulps. “Sas who cancelled not them.”

Ranti looked at. “You stupid or what Sas? The reason you canceled was because of Gama disease. Psychic diseases that he said could hurt, which resulted in the accident. It was making Sas. They're looking for a reason to have you cancel.” Ranti shakes. Unbelievingly. “The pain of his hand. Not his mouth to say the wedding vows. Gama can still talk, can still sign, can still walk, can still stand, can still sit, still—”

She hugged Ranti. The mama is so happy. Complaining, “You should be happy now, not treated like this Sas. Not like this ..”

He rubbed his wet cheek. Mama was so shocked by her decision. “Sas sorry ...”

Ranti shook her head, “Not you wrong .. they. They're Sas .. they.”

Sasmaya rubbed Ranti's back. Tranquilize. This is what is feared. Mama did not accept. Once betrayed papa again raises trauma to the surface.

If Ranti wants to, it's been since she got married again. Not a few men approached. But, the worry that the marriage he lived would have the same fate as before had apparently made him decide to live alone. Ranti prioritizes her son.

Sasmaya's happiness is his happiness. Sasmaya's sorrow was also her sadness.

They break each other's hugs. Ranti wiped her tears. While he pulled the corner of his lips. “Sas, it's okay, Ma.”

Ranti thinning lips, “Mama know, you don't lie!”

He sat back.

“When your papa chose that woman, you were the least receptive. Masala mutusin your relationship, you're hard to move on. There are no other men in this world. Stupid!” teasek Ranti is upset. How can this son say ‘gak nothing’. He knows Sasmaya. So with yesterday's incident, Sasmaya must have felt tremendous disappointment and hurt.

He laughed lightly. Mama can guess it. Equally worrying each other excessively, finally making them parno themselves.

“Just Mama wants to return a hand from them. Let them know that you are a respectable woman. There's a better way to be your husband, Sas.” Ranti continued to compile the items that Gama had given during the application event.

He sighed.

“Friends Many Mama. There are sales managers, there are also bank managers who yesterday came to the shop for soft loan loans. Also ponakan Aunty Erna said there were working as a staff minister. There is also a customer Mama, a police officer of AKP rank. Take it easy, Mama can introduce you to them.”

Spontaneous he looked up. Seeing Ranti. “Means Mama, Sas tell blind date again?”

...***...

His steps were heavy as he got out of the car. Glued for a moment, until Sinta realized it. “Yuk!”

Sasmaya nodded.

While Sinta's husband was holding Lea walking in front.

Sinta held her arm. “Definitely many GPP friends will be here,” he said as they walked. Towards the venue of the wedding of Dina and Dani in the title.

“Not just GPP, certainly also employees of hotels, retail bookstore, magazine and newspaper,” added Sinta.

There were already several convoys of invited guests coming. Showing a distinctive smile when coming to the place of worship. Kala was greeted in front of the hotel's ballroom corridor by the receptionist.

Zoon Hotels. Yes, Dina and Dani's wedding was held there.

“Hey, shut up anyway!” toilet Sinta. As long as the two walked from the parking lot to approach the ballroom, his best friend did not respond.

“Tasks I only got here.” Sinta stopped her steps. He reflexes follow. I looked at the mother of one child in surprise.

“Tuh,” Sinta's chin pointed to someone standing not far from them. He followed the direction of his best friend.

There, which was only less than 10 meters away, Gama stood alone. Reviewing smile.

“Gue forced to hand over to him.” Sinta patted the back of her hand. Unhold his grasp. “See you in.”

“Sin ...,” sergeant. “Gue together you go inside,” prevent it. Holding Sinta's arm. Why is it like this? He who invited Sinta to come and his best friend agreed to accompany him. Why did his best friend leave him to the man. He also does not want to be with Gama. Who will be his partner. Didn't, Sinta said she would accompany him during the wedding. From the start of marriage. Then a live reception was held 2 hours later.

Because only certain people who get an invitation during the wedding ceremony. Including himself. Who was currently Dina's superior directly.

“Sin,” Sasmaya shook her head slowly.

Sinta. “We both logged in. I'm not far. We're one place. You are the same Mr. Gama. I same it ... tuh!” she turned her head towards her husband and Leah who was standing waiting in front of the ballroom door.

“Mama!” shout Lea. Makes him close his eyes. Resignedly. Unravelling grips. When Gama walked closer.

“Gue wait inside,” whispered Sinta. “Staf Zoon yunya lo candidate Pak Gama, so they will suspect that lo gandeng me,” he continued. Smiled sweetly but was interpreted cynically by her.

Did Sinta plan all this? Or just that guy. He asked for company. Even now he is just left behind. It was even deliberately handed over to Gama. An impossible coincidence, right?

He stood nailing. Looking at the passing Sinta.

Gama is approaching. Grabbing hand. Holding her to enter caught up with Sinta. With other invited guests. Mostly a friendly greeting. The man only replied with a smile.

Inevitably, he was forced to follow the man who was walking next to him. Spreading smile. To cover their status as husband and wife candidates. After this, it looks like he deserves a trophy award.

“You kongkalingkong with Sinta?” ketus. While Gama still put a smile on people who continue to greet them. Say hello to Gama. Because the man was the owner of the hotel where he was going now. Who the hell, doesn't know him.

“Who said?”

“Kan, who said I. Yes, means I said.”

“I represent Dani. You represent Dina. Dani's staff. Dina your staff. They invited us, so it's only natural that we come together.”

They were guided by one of the organizers to sit in a place that had been arranged according to the invitation.

“Please,” said the committee that delivered both.

He smiles. So is Gama. They sit side by side. “Thank you,” reply.

Just looking for Sinta and her husband. They were placed in the back row. At the end of the chair.

Sinta waved her hand, accompanied by a smile that showed teeth that looked white due to veneers.

“Narsis!” grunt in the heart. The look in his eyes fell sharply on the mother of one child. But immediately smiled as Lea waved at him.

Not realizing that the man next to her was getting restless. Cold sweats. Breathing in unusual.

The show has begun. Dina and Dani sat side by side looking from his current position. Mr. Sofyan sat in front of one of the witnesses.

The opening of the event began with the parent representatives of the two brides who gave the word welcome. Then continued the recitation of the holy verses of the Quran.

Penghulu began to read the marriage sermon. Interspersed with laughter to ease the tension of the bride and groom.

Lips up. Hearing jokes and laughter from KUA officers and guests present. Even in the depths of his heart, it felt insinuated.

Gama suddenly got up. Leave him without saying goodbye.

Sasmaya stared at Gama's departure who left the ballroom somewhere. He thought the man was just for a moment. In fact 5 minutes passed, Gama did not return.

Ten minutes have gone. Until the ruler exclaimed, “SAH!”

He started looking for Gama. He rose as the invited guests stood to applause when Dani and Dina's wedding was declared legal. They become husband and wife.

Opting out looking for Gama's whereabouts. For 20 minutes the man had not yet revealed the trunk of his nose. The feeling is not good. Suddenly worries ambush.

Go to the toilet. Which is still in the ballroom. Niente. He did not find Gama there. Then his steps persuaded his heart to look for the man elsewhere.

The lobby. Blank. The figure he was looking for did not exist.

Toilet lobby. Hollowly. There's not a single person there. He even ventured into the toilet that read ‘gents’.

Then his steps rushed towards Gama's room. The room he had been to. So he knows where it is.

He was able to cross paths with 2 Zoon employees. Both of them looked down and smiled at him. He replied the same.

Without knocking on the door of the man's room, he looked for the figure of Gama in the room which was quite spacious after the door opened wide.

His heart is beating fast. After not finding Gama in his room. There's not even a trace of anything in there.

The suit Gama wears for example. Because that man today looks neat. Wearing a black shirt and suit.

He shook. Where else to look for Gama. Deadlocked. Maybe the guy left Zoon?

His breath is heavy. Twist the heel, opting back into the ballroom. Maybe Gama was there. He tried to brush off the bad prejudices that had crossed.

But it will only reach for the door algae to close the man's room. He heard the sound of something falling and breaking from the bathroom in Gama's office.

Not wasting time, he rushed there. Opens door. Seeing Gama being down. Bending the legs in front of the sink. They were both surprised. Neither did you think.

Gama's face was pale. Even Gama's hand refused as he tried to get closer. The man staggered towards the open closet. Vomiting there.

“Mas Gama,”. Look at what that man is going through. Concerns increased.

Nothing came out of Gama's mouth. Because this has been the umpteenth time vomiting. Just the urge to vomit due to severe nausea. Trying to rise. Sweat in the face. “I'm just a little dizzy,” he said lightly.

He helped the man stand up. Reap. Although Gama tried to refuse. Passing through a glass piece from a broken ashtray. Take him to sit on the long sofa.

Gama's palms felt cold. The man's breathing also sounded difficult. Lips vibrate.

“I have to help what?” tanyanya's confused. Seeing the condition of Gama is very worrying.

Gama nodded slowly. Trying to smile. Holding his hand reluctantly took off. He told her to sit next to the man.

“You don't scare me!” annoyed. In times of serious conditions like this, Gama joked.

Gama did not answer. It's crunching. Following the man's request.

“You need something?” Special drinks or drugs consumed by Gama for example, which he does not know. Someone who is undergoing therapy, sometimes also given sedatives. It should be consumed when the pain comes.

The leaning head shook its head and again smiled.

“Ayolah .. Don't make me panic and worry. I don't want to happen to you. I'm afraid you're why-why. I can't let you get sick like this. Why are you forcing yourself?” upset ocehnya.

Gama smiled at him.

“Ish,” hiss Sasmaya. Cobalt. His anxiety is not ignored. With his own eyes he watched Gama fight the phobia alone. How that fear hurt her physique. In plain view, the perfect and fit figure is in Gama, so that others may not be able to believe and think, if the man has anxiety disorder. Including himself.

He punched Gama's arm. “Sucks. I hate you .. really .. really hate you,” so Gama chuckles lightly.

“I'm looking for you to the toilet ballroom. To lobby. The lobby toilet. To your work room. You don't exist. I'm panicking. I'm afraid something happened to you. My guess is correct. But you're a bitch. Refusing my help, feeling strong, healthy and not needing me. I'm really sorry to be here. Though we—” his speech stopped. When Gama pulled him. Made him fall into the man's arms.

For a moment he gasped. Trying to get up but Gama tightened his grip. Say, “I just want you. Only you.”
