Love In Sketches
Apply Intan


Arya stood in front of the door of Mama Dewi's room. He took a deep breath before raising his hand and knocking on the brown-painted wooden door.


Geck. Geck. Geck.


"Ma, Arya's coming in Ma." Arya then opened the door of her mother's room. Mama Dewi was sitting on her bed.


"Ma..." Call Arya. The young man landed his body on the side of the bed.


"What's up, Arya?" Ask Mama Dewi lazy.


"Ma, Arya doesn't want to get married yet. Let Dika get married first." Said.


I don't know today how many times Arya begged like that, hoping the mother changed her mind.


"You're an adult. You're old enough to get married, Arya. And Mama won't let Dika get married on your appeal." Firmly that middle-aged woman.


"But Ma, who should Arya marry? My relationship with Mega is over." Arya said, a look of confusion on her handsome face.


Yesterday Arya had told me about what had happened in Paris to Mama Dewi. About Mega who has betrayed him, and making out with other men. But it even made Mama Dewi laugh in her heart. Mama Dewi was so happy to hear that.


"Who told you to marry that woman? My mom never liked him before. You're the one who's so crazy about her, and always asks me to accept Mega." Seloroh Mama Goddess.


From the first he did not like Mega, because his clothes are always open and also his attitude is in a sense of disrespect. Mama Dewi also wondered why her son loved Mega so much. If only because of her beautiful face, many women are much more beautiful than Mega in the eyes of Mama Dewi.


Arya just silently heard the lecture from her mother.


"Your mom used to forbid you to be in a relationship with Mega, but you kept pushing. And see now what the outcome is? That woman was willing to sell her body just for the sake of career? Is that the kind of woman you used to defend desperately and want you to make a companion for life?" Mama Dewi continued her talk that further cornered Arya.


"Sorry, Ma..." That was all Arya could say if her mother had spoken at length, she did not dare to argue. Mama Dewi let out a long sigh before continuing her words.


"Mama has chosen a woman who suits you. And you're gonna marry her." Said later.


"What Ma?!" Arya jerks. His mother's words were like lightning in broad daylight.


"And you can't refuse. If you refuse, it means that Dika cannot marry his lover. And his son will be born without a father!" Firmly Mama Dewi with a threatening tone.


"Ma, but..." Arya was about to raise a protest, but Mama Dewi's sharp gaze seemed to silence her mouth.


"It used to be Mama who obeyed your desire to keep dating Mega. And now it's your turn to obey Mama's wishes, you must marry Mama's chosen woman." Mama Dewi's words are indisputable.


"You better get ready, we're going to Intan's place and tomorrow we're going to propose to the woman you've chosen." Mama Dewi continued as she woke up from her seat. Arya could only waste a heavy breath.


"Yes, Ma." Reply Arya pasrah.

Arya grudgingly stared at the white gold ring she was supposed to give Mega that day.


"Mega, why did you betray me just for the sake of your career? I have been faithfully waiting for you. I've even prepared a wedding for us..."


Six years is not a short time to be in love. Mega is her first love. Arya loves Mega and vice versa. But everything must be destroyed and end just like that because of Mega betrayal.


"Actually who is the woman Mama chose for me? And why is it so easy for you to like her?" Inner Aryan. During her relationship with Mega, Mama Dewi never once showed her love for Mega. But now suddenly Mama Dewi says she already has a candidate for her.


"Sister!" Call Andika from behind the door. Arya put the ring back in its place.


"Yes." Yeah." Arya answered while opening the door to her room.


"Shy, so excited." Arya screeches.


"Of course I'm excited. I'm gonna propose to my Intan." Andika said with a big smile on her face even though she still had some bruises there. A very annoying smile for Arya.


"But your marriage can't happen." Cute Arya.


"certainly happened. Because Mama's going to match up with Big Brother, and tomorrow we're going to propose to that girl for Big Brother." Andika said. Arya just stared at him flatly while cursing at his sister inwardly.


"He's the one who's making trouble. I'm the one who should get married."


"Sister, there's no need to curse me in the heart like that." Said Andika who seemed to know the contents of his brother's heart.


"Let's hurry." Andika pulled her arm Arya to follow her steps. Arya dragged her feet lazily while continuing to curse her sister inwardly.

A car appears to enter the yard of the house that looks beautiful. A minimalist house painted sky blue, with white rose plants on the right and left sides.


"White rose? Mega's favorite flower. Hah, why does such a little thing still remind me of Mega?" Inner Aryan.


Forgetting your first love is hard, not as easy as you might think. Moreover, Mega still contact him and consider their relationship is fine.


"Let's get down." Said Mama Dewi, disperse the shadow of Mega in Arya's mind.


"Yes, Ma." Aryan Sahut.


"Andika is coming." Muttered a young girl named Intan, she was waiting for Andika's arrival behind the window. Previously Andika had told herself that she would come to propose with her family.


Andika along with Arya and Mama Dewi get off the car.


Geck. Geck. Geck.


"Assynoltom..." Andika said hello.


"Goddessalam..." Answer Intan while opening the door.


"Andika's..." Sapa Intan with a big smile.


"Mom..." Andika returned that smile, time seemed to stop for the two of them. The lovers looked at each other and ignored the surrounding situation.


Mama Dewi and Arya who stood beside Andika were stunned by the behavior of the two lovebirds.


"Hey... Oi... Why are you guys looking at things like that? Did you forget we were here?" Mama Dewi cut off the eye contact of the lovers.


"The new ABG base is in love." Cute Arya. Andika only replied to him with a flat glance.


"Sorry, sorry Auntie." Intan said, he felt bad for his future father-in-law.


"Intan, meet my mother, Mama Dewi and this is Arya's sister." Said Andika while introducing her family members. Intan kissed the back of Mama Dewi's hand.


"Continent, Aunt."


"Intan, Brother." He introduced himself.


"Please enter Auntie, Brother Arya." Intan opened the door wider.
