Breaking the Promise
Regretting stupidity

“Woi, wake up!” Jo wiggles Malik's shoulder.

These days, Malik is in his best friend's apartment. Only Jo where Malik complained. Malik admitted he was a coward, but repeatedly Jo reminded to fight while there was still time before the wedding day arrived. However, Malik is reluctant to fight for Angel on the grounds that he does not want to embarrass Radit's family who are like second parents to him, as well as Adrian who is like an older brother to him.

“Lik, it's Angel's wedding day. You can still cancel. Cepet to Bandung!” Jo said at exactly fifty in the morning, he woke up his best friend.

“Gue dare not Jo, what they say if I know the cause of the cancellation of Adrian's marriage. I must have been at the party too.”

“Cemen you, really dah, I have a really cowardly friend. Precisely with you like this, Angel is more confident that you are not in love with him.”

Malik woke up. “Gue love equal Angel, Jo. I can't live without him.”

“Yes is so that proof is. There are still three hours to make it to Bandung.” Jo cheers on his best friend.

Malik remained silent.

“Pocket! Ijab Qabuln eight o'clock right?” Ask Jo.

Malik nodded. “About Jo ga?”

“Hurry, two hours nyampe, sunday morning smoothly really. Anyway, usually the marriage contract is not on time, surely ngaret-ngaret bit. Lu Speak, don't use the brakes!”

“Spirit, Lik.” Shouted Jo.

Malik was excited and immediately took his jacket and car keys. He rushed to start the engine of the car and drove at high speed. Right as Jo said, this morning the streets are still deserted.

An hour later Malik had his car pedal almost full. It's like a man driving a car. Why did that courage come today? For some reason two weeks earlier, he had no guts to meet Adrian or Radit and say that Angel was his lover? I don't know?

In Bandung, the Sun began to shine. Angel with Ella and Dawn set off for the wedding hall. Angel came first because it would take quite a long time to make up. Hendra and Enin followed.

An hour passed, the makeup on Angel's face was almost done.

“Wah, you are so beautiful, Ngel.” Said Ella who was neatly groomed.

“Angel, Ouch Enin's grandson is beautiful.” Praise Enin again.

Angel just smiled wryly. He still hoped Malik would suddenly come and pick him up.

“Aa Adrian family has arrived?” Ask Angel.

“Not yet, but he said it was already on the way. You're tense huh?” Ask Enin.

Angel lowered. “Ngga coke, Nin.”

“Completed.” Said the perias who decorated Angel.

Ella held Angel's hand.

“You're ready right?” Ask whispered softly.

“Every ga ready, Bi. But it does have to be ready.”

“If suddenly he comes. How?” Ask Ella again.

At exactly seventeen minutes, Adrian came with the group. He was greeted with marawis accompaniment and other sundanese customs.

Right at that hour, Malik exited the Bandung toll road. Now he passed through an ordinary road that was already quite crowded. I don't know why the road to Angel's wedding hall is a little jammed.

“Ah, this is jammed what the hell?” Malik muttered while hitting the steering wheel.

“Cepet road.” Malik said to himself.

At exactly eight o'clock, Adrian sat in the groom's seat ready with pak pengulu and Hendra sitting opposite him, plus the two witnesses sitting next to Adrian and Hendra's side.

Angel went out with Ella. Angel looks very beautiful with a bridal makeup that fits right on her face. Adrian was made not to blink when he saw Angel was walking closer to him.

“Aware Adrian, your love is only for Alya, there is no other woman in your heart besides her.” Adrian muttered, awakening his daydreams and taking his eyes off Angel.

Angel and Adrian will hold a marriage contract at the mosque located on the second floor of the building, while the recipe will be held under the mosque. Dila deliberately rented a large building with a large parking lot, because they were from a well-respected family.

According to the map on his phone, Malik found the location of Angel's wedding building, there was already heard the ruler was about to give a speech before the qobul ijab began. Malik parked his car.

“Eh, sir the car is not straight yet.” The parking attendant said there to Malik.

Malik ignored the cries of the parking lot. He continued to run, because the parking lot is quite far from the mosque. He got to the first step and climbed up the stairs quickly.

“I received the marriage and marriage of Angel Agnita Princess Binti Hendra Kurniawan with the dowry paid in cash.” Adrian's voice was loud and clearly heard on the mosque's loudspeakers.

At once Malik's body weakened, even though he had climbed the last rung of stairs. He looked at the beautiful face of Angel who was sitting down in a direction far enough away from him.

Angel shed tears when, Adrian said the qobul hijab loudly and without any mistakes. Everyone who saw Angel crying, just thought Angel was moved because she married in a motherless state. Though he was crying because he was really sad, he thought Malik really did not come and did not fight for it.

Right at the main door of the mosque, Malik was sitting limp. He cried as it happened while prostrating. He wept over all his stupidity.

“Angel, really I can't live without you.” Malik said while hitting his head and crying.

In the ranks of the Adrian family seats, Berlin captured the figure of the son who was in the area outside the mosque. Malik raised his head and caught his eyes. Quickly, Malik turned his body and went straight down the stairs. He rubbed the water that soaked his cheeks.

Arriving at the car park, Malik yelled again and kicked his car.

“Aaaarrrggggg.”.

He regretted his stupidity. He regretted his cowardice. He regretted the time he had wasted with Angel. He regretted why he did not marry his girlfriend immediately. He really regretted everything that happened now.

“Stupid.. Idiotically.. Stupid.” Malik kept hitting the steering wheel of his car, sometimes making a horn sound.

“What's the matter?” Ask one of the parking attendants who was standing quite far away from Malik's car.

“Tau tuh, people stress times.” Reply to another parking attendant, the parking attendant who asked Malik to clean up the parking lot.

Then Malik started the engine of his car. He left the place in an unclear direction. Where is he confused?

Malik passed through a park. He sat down and stopped there, looking at every passing vehicle as well as the back and forth of people walking. Malik's mind glazed over, reminiscing about his good times with Angel. She is the only woman who can break her heart. The only woman who makes her life more alive. And, the only woman who gets rid of her fatigue in times of fatigue.
