Love But Different
Episode Twenty Eight

*The number you are heading to is off* that is how the voice of the operator tells you.

The message I sent to Rendi, none of it was repaid by her. I called her number many times, but there was no answer.

Where's Rendi?

And I wanted to tell her, that two days ago, Arman, my co-worker came to the house with her parents, she proposed to me. Apparently mother and father had accepted Arman's proposal, of course my heart was broken, I thought ....

Is this like the end of my love and Rendi's journey?

Where is Rendi now, when I need her, but she just disappeared. Didn't he already tell me, will fight together until getting the blessing of both parents. So, where is he now, why haven't you contacted me again?

Rendi, where are you going? Have you forgotten what you said? - I keep crying as much as I can.

Now, my status and Arman's been engaged ever since mom and dad accepted her proposal. Our wedding will be held in one month. I hope Rendi comes, and dares to meet both of my parents. But it turns out, hope is only hope, Rendi who I love just disappeared.

" Sani's? " Call mommy makes me jerk.

" Eh .. Yes mother, what's wrong?"

" Arman will be here later, for your prewedding photos." Mother said.

I just nodded slowly. Now, all I leave to God, if Arman is my soul mate, may I accept all of this with a sincere heart.

" Mother and father have also prepared the decorations and tents, later you just choose what kind." Say mother again.

" Yes bun ... " I said smiling blandly.

The arman? the man I had never counted before would be my husband, the man I did not love at all.

While Rendi? the man who had been my girlfriend for four years, now turned into a stranger, who disappeared without any news.

" Oh yeah, what kind of stuff do you want to make sovenir?" Ask mother.

" It's up to you, what matters is good." I'm not excited.

" Loh, you are what the hell, who wants to marry you, not mother."

" Sheep if that's bun."

" Yes, you wrote in the notebook." He said and then stepped in.

* zst ... Zzst .... "

A notification of whatsapp message came in on my phone.

* My dear *

Apparently it's from Rendi.

[San, sorry if I haven't heard from you in a while.] As soon as I read it.

[Where are you Ren? why it suddenly disappeared]

[Sorry San, I'm too busy.]

[Ren .. do you know, I've been proposed to someone else]

I typed the message while shedding tears.

[Congratulations yes ]

The reply to the message from Rendi really struck me. Why Rendi actually gave me congratulations, should not she be sad or even angry, but why this turned around.

[Ren, aren't you angry? are you not sad? are you trying to prevent all this?]

[Sorry San, that's not my right. You've been proposed to someone else, which means I have no right to interfere in your affairs. Honestly, I'm sad, disappointed and angry, but what can I do? Besides praying for you to be happy, with your parents' choices. Thank you for all this time San, thank you for giving me happiness, I love you]

My tears broke, I cried as much as I could on the back porch of the house. I don't care if anyone sees me crying.

Oh my God .. why does it have to be like this so, I really did not expect, if me and Rendi had to part in a painful way.

A relationship without the blessing of parents should not be continued. But, is it possible that I can accept Arman, just as I accept Rendi. Can I love him, like I love Rendi? Can I forget Rendi, while the shadows of our memories together, will always be remembered and unforgettable.

Oh Reny ...

Tangisku.

Seriate....
