Love But Different
Episode Twenty-seven
" Have you been in the bag of all San's stuff?" ask mother.
" It's bun."
After three days of hospitalization, the doctor finally let me go home. It was a pleasure, at the end I went home too, bored if I had to linger in the Hospital, the place I did not like the most.
" Yes, yuk." Bring mother.
I still observe the screen of my phone, to this day since Rendi came to visit, she has not contacted me at all. I was still pensive, staring at the phone screen.
" San?" mother patted me on the shoulder, making me aghast.
" Eh .. yes bun."
" Let's go home, I'm waiting in the car." she explained.
I nodded, then followed behind my mother. Honestly my heart is sad, because Rendi has not yet told me.
The journey of my love with Rendi is quite complicated. We have been together for four years, but have never met their families. Right now, we are at a time where our relationship is opposed by both of our parents, because of different religions.
Indeed, it is not necessary that I have a relationship with someone, who is clearly different from my beliefs. But for some reason, all of that was lost to my love for such a big Rendi.
Astagfirulloh - I said after realizing that I had missteps, should not I hope in humans, and overestimated my love for him.
" Is anyone missing?" ask me while putting the bag in the car.
" No" I replied shaking.
Then mom and dad got in the car, and so did I. Dad's old car started driving away from the hospital parking lot.
On the way home, I sat alone in the middle seat, and kept daydreaming while leaning my head on the windshield. My mind drifted far away somewhere, which I must be in a mess right now, even the doctor said that I had to rest a lot and not have to think hard.
" San, why?" my mother looked at me.
" No papa bun." I'm lethargic.
" Don't daydream" said the father who was driving.
" Yes yeah." I replied.
" Bun, yeah .. " call me then.
Mother said, "Yes, why?"
" I'm going to kosant tomorrow."
" Why what?" ask mother.
" Take things and deliver the resignation letter." I replied.
Yes, at the end of the day I chose to quit my job, at my mother's behest. It seems like you really don't want me to go back there, worried that if I was still there, it would be free to meet Rendi. Although it feels heavy, I must obey.
Now, all I submit to Allah, if indeed my soul mate Rendi, surely God will unite us in his way.
" Yes, tomorrow Ical." concluded the mother, I nodded.
The car that my father drove continued to go, down the asphalt road that looked crowded with vehicle traffic.

A notification of the incoming message on my phone.
My dear - Apparently it was from Rendi, of course I was very happy to get a short message from her.
[Good night, how are you? ]
Without waiting for long, I immediately replied to him.
[Okay, I'm at home. ]
[Oh... Thank God, San I want to talk to you about something, okay?]
[Yes, what are you talking about? ]
[What do you think of our relationship?]
[Don't know Ren, I'm confused, what do you think? ]
[I'll survive San ]
[You mean Ren?]
[I'll stick with this relationship, even if my parents are against it. ]
[But Ren ] retorted I'm not sure.
[ Why? San ... I love you, I love you, I don't want anything else but you.] Answer the mantab.
After reading Rendi's message, I was a little worried. Should I be like him, who also defied the parental ban? Ahh .. I was very confused.
[But Ren, my parents disagree.]
[I will fight San, I will fight for all her, until God determines.]
[I confused Ren, completely confused.]
[Don't be confused, what are you? I hope you are just like me.]
[We go through Ren .. yes, I want to rest first.]
[Yes good night, fast healthy huh, I love you ]
[Love you more]
The conversation through a short message ended.
Honestly, I'm so happy that Rendi still wants to fight for our love. But on the one hand, I felt sinful towards my mother and father, for defying their orders to end my relationship with Rendi.
Ahh .. Is love this complicated?
Slowly my eyes began to fall asleep in a beautiful dream.
Seriate....
