I'M A STATUE FOR YOU
THE ANGRY VOICE OF RANI

Alyn continues to notice Rani who looks annoyed talking to someone over the phone who Alyn believes is Rani's mother because Rani mentions the name Mother. Lucky Cafe is quiet because it is still working hours, so not too many visitors who can listen to the debate between the child and the mother.

"Why Ran?..." Ask Alyn .

"Dizziness me Lyn. Mom, keep forcing me. Mom just kept my soul mates. The reason is always the same, because my sister wants to get married and doesn't want to step over me. Even that young man is already on his way here." Said Rani with a scowling face.

"Why not? You are old enough. It's time for you to get married. What's wrong try to live first. Who knows if it will continue to be a match." Said Alyn reminded Rani because the older a person then it will be difficult to find a man who wants to marry her.

Fear when someone realizes he is aging and still single with the reason not ready because of this and that, while others have carried a baby, while he is still alone. He only realized he was aging and men were reluctant to approach him.

"You're the same as my mom. I'm not ready to get married, I want to focus on my career." Said Rani who is not at all interested in getting married for career reasons when in fact because Rani is reluctant to open her heart to men.

"When do you want to get married? You're still waiting for Iqbal to realize his feelings for you, right?..." Alyn. Rani herself did not know what the exact reason was. But Alyn's words seem right, Rani is still curious as to what Iqbal really feels like. His character and attitude are hard to guess.

"I don't want to marry a psychopath like him." Rani.

"Psychopath but love hehe..." Alyn teases Rani making Rani's face red.

Suddenly Alyn's stomach felt nauseous as it was being stirred. Alyn closed her mouth and ran towards the toilet.

"RANII..." Just as Rani was about to follow Alyn, the young man who was betrothed to Rani suddenly appeared and called out to Rani. Finally Rani stopped following Alyn because Rani wanted to speak frankly to the young man her mother had betrothed to Rani that Rani refused the match.

Inside the toilet Alyn kept vomiting incessantly. Removing all of his entrails, just like getting off the plane. The sweat had flooded Alyn's face. Sometimes Alyn wiped the sweat with her hijab. Alyn's head felt dizzy. Why suddenly Alyn was sick when it was fine.

****

Rani sat opposite the young man she was going to marry.

"Ran do you remember me?..." Ask Affan the man who once approached Rani first in the Fisherman's village.

"Yes I remember." Answer Rani. Rani herself is confused about where to start her conversation from. Mother has already accepted her proposal, if rejected her mother will certainly bear the shame. If in his heart feel depressed like now. This is the reason why Rani is reluctant to accept other men present in Rani's life.

Same with Iqbal. Though Iqbal always act arbitrarily to Rani but foolishly Rani was happy with the treatment of Iqbal. Who often embrace it, more precisely suffocating when embracing. Calling Rani is not by name but by gravel throw. If Rani does something that is not desired or not in accordance with Iqbal's wishes, Iqbal will pull Rani's hair.

Back again to Rani and Affan, both of them are both silent with different thoughts. One wants to go forward and one wants to go back. They both try to string together sentences from their hearts and minds to be conveyed through speech.

"You're the young man who approached me and then suddenly disappeared. The young man who gave false hope to an innocent girl." Rani opened her voice.

"I'm sorry I was too cowardly to dare fight for my feelings for you." Affan.

"I don't actually know anything about this match. Just yesterday mom told me if you proposed to me. But I'm sorry I wasn't ready, I didn't love you." Rani said softly but full of confidence. Rani lowered her head feeling sorry for the young man before her who was shocked by Rani's words. Rani knows what it's like to be heartbroken. It can even be said Rani is an expert in heartbreak. Because Rani's heart once fell as a fall.

"Ran your parents accepted my proposal two days ago. I'd be so ashamed if you rejected me." Affan said with a sad look mixed with disappointment.

"Please give me a chance to start this relationship with our friendship." Affan is still hopeful. Rani sighed....Actually Rani pityed the young man who was currently in front of her. Far away from the Fisherman's village only to hear rejection.

****

Satisfied vomiting Alyn washed her face. Then get out of the toilet. Alyn staggered as Alyn's head began to feel heavy.

From a distance of approximately 12 meters Alyn saw Rani sitting with the young man. And her face was no stranger to Alyn. Samar Alyn began to remember, he was a young man from the Fisherman's village. The young man who had been beaten by Iqbal for daring to approach Rani. Only Alyn knew because Iqbal always wore a hooded jacket, hat and mask in action was also in a state of loneliness.

Alyn once caught Iqbal doing the same thing twice in a quiet place when Alyn's parents sent Alyn to look for the whereabouts of his sister who was in installments and often disappeared since childhood.

Therefore the young men are afraid to approach Rani because some young people experience the same thing after approaching Rani. The news was already widespread in the Fisherman's village.

It makes Rani feel insecure and alienated.

When questioned by Alyn, Iqbal's answer only wants to protect Rani from people who have bad intentions, because Rani is orphaned and has no brothers, Iqbal decides to be a shield in the front guard to protect Rani. Alyn who used to love Iqbal and has not had maturity does not dare to say things that she knows for fear that the citizens will punish Iqbal. Moreover, Iqbal has a strong reason why Iqbal does not want Rani close to the youth.

Alyn walks and sits on an empty bench watching Rani and Affan from a distance. Then Alyn put her dizzy head on the table.

****

"Hallo...Hallo....Hallo-o... Who are you really?....Why always stutter me." Said Rani who got a phone call back from the terror.

"Here Ran let me do the talking." Said Affan who had extended his hand to Rani. Rani meloud her HP speaker then gave it to Affan.

"Hallo...Sorry who are you why not talk and bother Rani?..." Affan said politely.

"WHO ARE YOU???" The baritone voice from the pentecor could finally be heard clearly in Rani's ears. Rani's mouth gaped and then closed with her hands. Rani's heart beat hearing that voice. Can't be!...

"I'm Rani's husband-to-be and soon we're getting married. Please don't bother Rani anymore." Affan continued.

"YOU DIED MARRYING RANI." The voice of the terror sounded loud and gripping. Rani and Affan did not believe what he heard. Very scary.
