"Why did you approve of this matchmaking Gwen ?" asked Mirza who is currently sitting opposite Gweny. an hour ago, he asked Gweny to come to a restaurant near his office.
"You still asking?" said Gweny with a shrunken forehead.
"Tell me what the reason is." urged Mirza with her cold face.no matter if their current status is engaged.
"Of course because I like you Mir." I'm Gweny frankly "You forgot that?"
"Oh, so you ask Om Handoko and Papa to match us?" accuse Mirza, who this time stared intently at the woman with long hair in front of her.
"Hey, you're accusing me of asking my Papa to match us up?" Gweny let out a sigh of disbelief, how could Mirza accuse him like that. He did like Mirza, but he certainly did not dare to take such a step.
"Who else then?" Mirza smiled cynically.
"I don't know Mir either. I was also surprised when Papa talked about this matchmaking."
"But you can refuse right ?"
"I'm just happy about Mir." A smile now expands on Gweny's face.
How unhappy would he be if he could be with the person he loves. Although Mirza's attitude was still the same, it was even colder, and indifferent than before.
"That means you take advantage of the situation." Mirza clucked in annoyance.
"Why don't you just refuse?" this time Mirza did not answer.
"Am I wrong to dream of you being my future Mir?" gweny's face turned sad.
"I loved you long before this arranged marriage was planned." said Gweny with teary eyes.for the first time he revealed all the feelings that stuck in his heart.
"But I loved him long before we knew Gwen. Thirteen years, not a short time." but it was just Mirza said in his heart.
Silent..
Only the sound of music was played on a small stage, accompanying the silence between them.
Both Mirza and Gweny, both seem to be not talking to each other.
"Gue wants to go." Mirza said after a moment of silence.
Gweny turned with a shrunken forehead "Where?"
"Continue the study outside." replied Mirza without glancing at Gweny, her hands busy stirring the ice lemon tea that had just been delivered by the waiter.
"Why sudden ?" gweny's forehead is shrinking.
"Yes I want it now." as usual, Mirza's voice sounded cold in Gweny's ear.
"You ... are no longer avoiding me, are you Mir ?" terka Gweny was right on target.
"Gue just wants to study Gwen." said Mirza, not wanting to upset Gweny.
"Then our relationship?"
Mirza took a deep breath, for some reason it was hard to make a decision.
"Gue only goes while Gwen.it's up to you to do what as long as I'm gone." said Mirza did not care, but he was stunned when Gweny said, Gweny said,
"I'll keep waiting for you Mir."
...****************...
"Seriously you want to go ?" it was the first sentence that came out of Marko's mouth when Mirza talked about his study plan.
Mirza just nodded, then laid her body on the bed belonging to Marko. her body felt tired, after working all day. let alone her heart and mind that never stop thinking of someone, the heart and mind that never stop thinking of someone, the, which until now is unknown whereabouts.
"Breng as you are." Marko grumbled, he jumped on the bed where Mirza was laying there.
"Out of Martin, now you want to go too ? what kind of friend are you on." annoyed Marko, then hit Mirza's face with a pillow in his hand.
Martin is currently continuing his S2 in neighboring Malaysia. In addition to Alula, apparently Martin also chose to leave. Seeing the woman he loves getting engaged to his best friend makes it difficult to control yourself.
"Gue tipped Gweny." one sentence that made Marko turn then looked at Mirza who now re-energized his body with closed eyes.
"Emang si Gweny what goods maen tidip-tip." Marko sneered, but soon he looked at Mirza with concern.
"Game on him too ! you're all I trust." Mirza did not respond to Marko's scorn.
As cold as Mirza's attitude to Gweny, he still tried to be kind.Honoring Om Handoko as a close friend of the Papa.
"Udah got permission not yet from your mother" he continued with an annoyed face because Mirza just kept talking without opening her eyes.
"Nyokap must be giving permission."
Being the only child makes Mirza often feel hesitant to step up. Mama Indri who never wanted to be left alone, also Pa Sanjaya who now began to rely on Mirza in every job became another consideration for Mirza.
"One more," Mirza paused her speech.
"If you hear from Alula, tell me." Mirza stared fixedly at Marko who was now sitting next to him.
Just this time Marko saw the fragile side of Mirza. During his time with Mirza, he had never seen his best friend in such a complicated situation. He understood, it was not easy to just let go of a loved one, much less Alula was his first love. But now, Mirza is forced to accept the fact that her status has changed.
...****************...
"Ma, Pa." said Mirza to her parents in the television room. He who had just cleaned up after returning from Marko's house joined his parents.
"Eh Mir, here sit !" Mama Indri pulled Mirza's hand to sit next to her.
"Watch what ?" asked Mirza after sitting next to Mama Indri.
"Know, Mama you still like to watch drama kayak gini, but Papa drowsiness this." Pa Sanjaya leaned her body against the back of the sofa while grumbling. Busyness makes his body feel tired, but he still remains loyal to accompany his wife to watch her favorite drama.
"Lonely mom knows, there's usually Alula who nemenin Mama." Mama Indri let out a long sigh, she clearly felt the loss of Alula, the cheerful girl who always made her laugh.
"Pa, has there been no word from them yet ?" Mama Indri shook the shoulder of Pa Sanjaya who was almost asleep.
Pa Sanjaya just shook her head.
"Papa's men no one has managed to find them yet."
Apparently Alula and Pa Abhi really cut off contact with everyone.even Pa Sanjaya to wonder, why the former driver and his former personal assistant did it.
Discussing the matter of Alula, suddenly Mirza's face looks grim.
"Ma, Bc .. Emir wants to take a study in Oxford." the sentence Mirza made Pa Sanjaya and Mama Indri throw a glance at each other.
"Sudden co ?" pa Sanjaya asked with a shrunken forehead.
"Who are you with?" mama Indri's eyes began to look glassy, for some reason lately she felt it was easy to shed tears.the article, he had just lost someone he considered a child, he said, now his own son will leave him.
"Emir promise won't be long," Mirza looked at her parents with a pleading gaze.
"Emir will finish Emir's education quickly." continued Mirza.he tightly grasped Mama Indri's hand, convincing the woman who still looks beautiful at her age that she will finish her studies quickly.
"Gweny know?" Pa Sanjaya is worried about Gweny. Not without reason, all this time he considered Mirza and Gweny, both are still equally rigid. like two people who do not know each other, even though both are engaged couples.
"Gweny knew." repeated Mirza "He agreed." he stared in no direction.
"Mir, Mama doesn't want you to go." Mama Indri's sad eyes make Mirza unwell.
"Ma, once the Emir begs. Let the Emir choose the Emir's way of life." there was a sense of pain that Mirza felt when saying that.
All this time, he has always been a submissive child.anything he will do to make his parents happy.including willing to be engaged to Gweny, a woman he does not even like. But this time, he wanted to be selfish.
"Yes Ma, the Emir is also an adult." Pa Sanjaya grabbed Mama Indri's shoulder and rubbed it with tenderness.
Mirza threw herself on the sofa outside the balcony of her room.he was relieved, finally Mama Indri allowed her to continue her studies abroad.
Actually not only that the reason went, Mirza just wanted to calm down. give space to his heart which is now already in pain.
He was not angry, he was just disappointed at the situation.at a time that did not let him know the reality early.
Alula's existence is now like a bright spot that slowly begins to fade, even turning into an increasingly dark invisible light.
If Gweny is the end of his love journey, then he must begin to accept.but not as easily as that, he needs time to rearrange his heart.let Alula's shadow go away on its own, even though he wasn't sure he would be able to do it.
