Dilemma Intersection
Chapters 15. About Someone

That day, Indira completely shut herself in the room. Even at dinner, he did not move. Worried, Mother Gisya continued to persuade her daughter to open her door.

"Darling, open the door! This is Mother, Son," call Mother Gisya.

Chequelek

Indira opened the door, her eyes so swollen from crying all day.

"Oh Allah, Dira! Why you, baby?" panic Mother Gisya.

"It's okay, Bun!" indira replied forcing her smile.

"Here sit, Mother bring you food" Mother Gisya said.

The two of them sat by the bedside, Mother Gisya painstakingly fed her daughter. Even though Indira had refused, Mother Gisya was still cool to feed her youngest daughter. A plate of food had entered Indira's stomach. Now, Mother Gisya invites her daughter to speak from heart to heart.

"Dira dear, Mother is pregnant with you for nine months. Mother is also the one who breastfeed and take care of you until now, so Mother knows for sure what you feel, son," said Mother Gisya made Indira lowered her head.

Patiently Mother Gisya waited until Indira wanted to talk to her.

"Bun, why does love hurt?" lirih Indira's.

"What hurts, son? The same story Mother," said Mother Gisya, she stroked her daughter's head gently.

"Dira loves someone, Bun. But she will go," Indira said with tears beginning to escape her eyes.

"Athaya? Is he going?" asked Mother Gisya and Indira shook her head.

Indira's answer was enough to make Mother Gisya surprised, she thought that if Indira was crying because of Athaya. But the guess is completely wrong.

"Mother does not understand dear, try Dira the same story Mother, yes!" pinta Bunda Gisya's.

"But Mommy has to promise one thing, Mother does not tell anyone about all this" said Indira and Bunda Gisya nodded her head.

Slowly Indira took out a necklace hanging from her neck, sun pendant and necklace that Mother Gisya knew it was a necklace owned by TNI members.

"I thought I'd seen Kak Yoga, Bun. Kak Yoga who saved Dira during the camp first, Kak Yoga who was able to make Dira can not escape him," said Indira.

"Yoga are you always telling the same Mother?!" surprised Mother Gisya, indeed Indira introvert but she always tells all to her mother.

"Yes, Bun." Indira cried in her mother's arms.

Indeed, Mother Gisya was very anxious with Indira. Because his daughter has not told clearly about her meeting with Yoga.

"Why do you cry, baby? You should be happy" said Mother Gisya.

"I'm happy, Bun. But he's leaving, Bun! He didn't even ask Dira to wait for him. He said he did not want to ask Dira to wait, for fear of not being able to keep his promise," Indira still sobbed and made Mother Gisya smile.

"Darling, Kak Yoga has been acting right. He doesn't want to hurt you, son," said Mother Gisya made Indira raise her head.

"You know what he said to Dira if he was Kak Yoga! Dira wouldn't have expected more, Bun. If Dira does not know he is Kak Yoga," upset Indira.

Mother Gisya just realized, now her little daughter was already growing up.

"Love, a soldier's job is tough, son. They devoted themselves to the country, Kak Yoga said it was the same as you because he did not want him to leave with regret later. He also does not want to ask you to wait, because he does not want if you have to swallow a bitter pill when the return is just a name. Doesn't Dira not want to have a candidate for a soldier?" mother of Gisya.

"I don't know if he's a soldier, Bun. If Dira knew, he would be the exception" Indira lowered her head.

"But everything Kak Yoga says is true, enough you always say his name in each of your prostrations. May God indeed predestine you two to be a match," said Mother Gisya.

Again Indira sighed heavily, plus when she remembered Athaya.

"Dira mentions her name in the do'a, and others mention Dira's name in her prayer, how is Bun?" lirih Indira made Mother Gisya smile with anxiety.

"The fool has been determined by God in auhul mahfudz, no matter how hard we say his name if God indeed predestines him not our soul mate then God will never unite you. Do not think about it, just pray with God to be given the best soul mate," said Mother Gisya and Indira nodded.

In the morning, Indira was getting ready to go to campus. When he came out, Indira had seen Athaya and his father talking in the living room. Indira prefers to head to the dining table and play with Sweta for a while.

"Sir, don't worry anymore! I don't want to see you sad" said Elmira.

"Don't discuss, brother. Dira is okay," said Indira smiling.

"You're the big brother's here, right?" elmira asked, bowing her head.

"Ck! What kind of question is that? I'm sure, Dira will be Temenin Brother here," said Indira while kissing Sweta's cheek.

Fahri's father approached Indira who was eating breakfast in the morning.

"You went to college with Dad, yeah! The same Athaya as well" said Fahri's father.

"Yes Dad" replied Indira.

"Athaya aren't you making breakfast, Dek?" ask Fahri's father.

"Thinking that he had breakfast, dira called Athaya first," Indira moved and approached Athaya who was engrossed in her cell phone.

"Eat first" said Indira made Athaya raise his head.

"I had breakfast, you finished your breakfast. After that we go together to the campus," Athaya stroked Indira's head but she immediately walked away from Athaya.

After breakfast, Indira went to the campus with his father and Athaya. Indira was more silent, while Fahri and Athaya's father continued to talk.

"So what's your relationship planning going forward?" ask Fahri's father.

"All right, Om wait for your good news!" father Fahri's words pierced the recesses of Indira's heart.

They have arrived, Athaya and Indira say goodbye to Fahri's father.

"Om me first, yeah! Classes are about to begin, Assalamu'alaikum" said Athaya.

"Yes, watch out Athaya!" said Father Fahri.

"Dira went to class first, Dad. Assalamu'alaikum" said Indira then kissed his father's hand.

"Student study, yes!" father Fahri and Indira nodded. Indira stared at the departure of the father's car.

Just now Indira was about to step foot, suddenly a motorbike stopped in front of him. A man who is very much missed.

"Syafa, may I take you to be a bad student today?" ask Dirga.

"It doesn't look bad" replied Indira.

Dirga swiped a helmet in Indira's head, carefully Indira riding Dirga motor.

"Where are we going, brother?" ask Indira when the bike starts to go.

"Ke gasibu," answered Dirga made Indira amazed.

"Well, we're going to Gasibu, brother?" ask Indira again.

"It turns out it's true, someone said you were chatty too" said Dirga smiling.

"Ck! So tau means the person," said Indira made Dirga laugh out loud.

They both really enjoy their togetherness, during the trip Indira can smile and laugh freely. Now they have reached the front garden of the gasibu telkom, Indira down from the Dirga motorbike and Dirga helps Indira release his helmet. They went hand in hand, Dirga bought two bottles of drinks and fried food that were nearby. It's not really a date like other young people.

Dirga opened a bottle of drink and gave it to Indira.

"Thank you, sister," said Indira received the bottle.

"I should be grateful, thank you for always remembering me, Syafa," said Dirga while looking at Indira's face.

"Oh yeah, why are we here, brother?" Indira was still curious about the reason Dirga.

"Someone said he was starting to find his love in this park. They're waiting here for each other, this is a historic place for them. And I wish I could find my love in this garden. Carving the same history," said Dirga made Indira pensive.

Indira did not understand the meaning of Dirga's words, until Dirga said something that made Indira's heart beat fast.

"I love you, Indira Myesha Kirania Syafa," said Dirga made Indira turn her head.

"What do you mean, brother?" lirih Indira when she saw a ring in Dirga's hand.

"I love you, can I borrow a little necklace I gave you?" dirga and Indira asked nodding, she handed him the necklace she always carried with her everywhere.

Dirga put the ring into one with a sun pendant and a TNI necklace bearing her name.

"Syafa, I really love you. But I will never ask you to wait for me, someday if God allows then the ring will be installed in your sweet day," said Dirga made Indira can no longer hold back his tears.

"I don't understand, Brother! Really don't understand" said Indira.

"I'm horrified, Syafa. Look at my eyes!" dirga pinta.

Their eyes met, could be seen love radiating in that gaze.

"Do you believe in a soul mate? If indeed we are a match, we will certainly unite in a sacred bond, Shafa. For now, live your life happily. Don't keep on remembering me, which could end up hurting your heart. But enough pray for me in every bow and blow your breath" said Dirga.

"Are you willing, brother, if I end up having to be with someone else?!" ask Indira.

"Syafa, love doesn't have to master. If finally you have to be with others, the sign is that he is the best mate God has given you. So I beg you, do not let these beautiful eyes shed tears let alone me as the cause," Dirga gave understanding to Indira.

After a long time pensive, finally Indira nodded and Dirga kissed Indira's forehead. His love was very sincere for the girl, Dirga then took Indira to Camp Earth Jatinangor. They enjoyed the natural beauty of it both, as if the world belonged to just the two of them. Indira did not even heed the call from Athaya that had been dozens of times.

"I think I want time to stop right now, brother. I don't want to be away from you" Indira said.

Time continued to pass, until it did not feel the time had shown at 7 pm. Dirga escorted Indira to the front of the Mirda and Elmira dormitories.

"Good night, Shafa! Don't forget to smile and pray for me" said Dirga.

"Be careful, Brother! Rest yes, thank you for today," said Indira.

"I should be grateful, thank you for being a bad student today. But enough today, yeah!" dirga.

"Ready! Carry it out," Indira said as she saluted.

Dirga drove his bike to return to Barak, someone smiled looking at Indira who was smiling happily.

"Indira, you are a precious treasure to me. Whenever I'm alive, I'll take care of you with all my heart and make you smile happily,"
