Love But Different

Love But Different
Episode Eleven


After I heard Rendi's true confession, I haven't contacted her since. I'm disappointed in him, why he never told me the truth from the start. Now I feel like everything is free, the relationship I've been building with her, for over a year now feels pointless. Where will this relationship come down, while the beautiful dreams I have knitted with him. There's no way I'm forcing anything, but this love in my heart has already fallen too deep, I love Rendi but I love my Lord more. If this relationship continues, I'm afraid only the wounds we'll get. If you finally have to separate as well, because of different beliefs.


I haven't called Rendi in almost a week. Not even the messages and the phone calls, none of which I answered. Actually I can't be like this, shy away from a problem. But I wasn't ready to meet him yet, but on the other hand, I wasn't ready to lose Rendi either. Ah .. I was worried.


I continued to daydream in the kosant until Ita came home from college.


" Sani." call her after approaching.


" Yes, why?" answer me while propping up my chin.


" There's a Rendi in front."


" Huh .. serious?"


" Yes, he was in front, it was me."


" What's it?"


" You don't exist."


" Continue?"


" Yes I said there is. Meet there, kasian."


" Males." I replied briefly.


" Gk can do that. If there is a problem to be solved, not even avoid." said Ita then stepped in.


For a moment I was silent thinking about Ita's words. Actually I really wanted to meet Rendi, because I missed her too. But, Ahhhhh .... Umpatku annoyed.


" Why is it still there?" ask Ita again. " Find there, kasian." he added.


" Yes." Yeah."


Then I stepped up with a gontai. My appearance that afternoon was very messy, because I really did not want to go anywhere, so I did not make up today. And now, I want to see Rendi, I've had my bodo time with my appearance.


Upon arrival in front of the hostel's yard, I saw Rendi waiting on his bike. Then he looked at me with a flat face, and so did I.


Then I approached him.


" What's up?" I said coldly, without further ado.


Actually I can't act like that to her, Rendi's not wrong at all. But if he was honest from the beginning, maybe I could accept, although not necessarily I want to be his girlfriend. I don't know, the belief problem became a pretty sensitive thing for me.


" You angry?" asked Rendi with a sad face.


I just shook my head.


" San, do you think this is a mistake?" ask him again.


" I can't choose where and where I was born" he said.


" Why don't you be honest, Ren?"


" I'm afraid you don't want to be with me."


" Cause of that?"


Rendi nodded.


" Ren, is it possible that we could be together?"


" Maybe .. I want to fight." he insisted.


" fought? can't do?"


" Can San."


" When we finally get married, will you come with me?" I asked while holding back tears.


While Rendi was silent, I knew she wasn't so sure. Because after I heard the story from him at that time, it turns out his father was a religious leader who was so obedient to live his beliefs.


" If I'm the one who should come with you, I'm sorry Ren I can't. I love you, Ren, but I love my Lord more." I said, not feeling my tears flow and Rendi just bowed lethargic.


" Ren, what's better." I haven't finished my sentence yet, Rendi's already cut it.


" No, I don't want to hear those words."


" Yes on, now what to do. Survive it? Free Ren, we're finally separated."


" As I said before San, I want to fight with you. Help me to convince my parents." she said, staring at me in the face.


" Are you sure Ren? You can make that decision, it's not an easy matter Ren." I told Rendi.


Rendi nodded slowly.


" Do your parents accept it?"


" I don't know San. But I'm sure I can, so I beg of you, help me to convince them" Rendi continued to reassure me.


" It is impossible for God to bring us together, without any purpose or purpose, right?" rendi concluded. " So I beg you, don't hesitate." he added.


With all my dilemma, I tried to give Rendi a chance. Even though I know, it's not an easy matter. Moreover, what I know based on the story from him, his parents are both religious adherents who are so obedient. So very unlikely, they allowed Rendi to follow my beliefs. But on the other hand, Rendi kept trying to convince me until I was devastated as well. Ah .. I don't know, let time answer all this. If indeed me and Rendi are paired, God will provide convenience for both of us.


Seriate....
