Love Is Hurt (Wedding Polygamy)
Season 3's. Must forget.
Nara POVS.
I saw Mas Bintang coming in with a young girl. I don't know who that girl is? His face looked familiar. I smiled wryly, just yesterday Mas Bintang said he loved me so much and did not want to part with me. But this afternoon I saw him holding the young girl's hand. It was as easy as that Mas Bintang reneged on a promise he made himself.
"Already, don't look at it for long. Later you even love him again" whispered Brother Rimba.
I glanced at Brother Rimba. I think from earlier Brother Rimba did not pay attention to my direction. Turns out he saw what I saw.
"I just saw it, brother," I said.
It would be a lie if I said I didn't love Mas Bintang anymore. I still love him very much. Even that feeling still exists. It's just that the wounds and pain she was trailing in my chest had become ingrained. So that I didn't have a chance to anchor this feeling to her.
"We continue to eat, Brother," asked Naro.
I can see if there's any emotion embedded in Naro's face. He looks angry even though I don't know what makes him angry.
The three of us continued eating and were occasionally interspersed with light laughter and short chatter. I know that from then on Mas Bintang looked at the table we were sitting. If time could be re-established. I chose not to know him if in the end Mas Bintang only left wounds that are difficult to treat.
Why is there still some taste in the chest? When he just left. Can I survive without her present, I God conveyed my longing to her. Necessity tasting the radar of love between feelings and forgetting. I have to choose one of them. Whether we like it or not, this is how life's destiny brings us to the meeting point.
"The jungle."
We all turned towards the voice that called out to Brother Rimba.
"Daughter," muttered Rimba who I can still hear.
The beautiful woman dressed as a full-fledged office man walked towards us. This woman is a stranger, I've never even seen her before.
"Daughter."
Rimba stood up to greet the woman. And the woman hugged Rimba in front of me and Naro. In my heart I asked, who is this woman? Was he the one in Rimba's past? Or Rimba's girlfriend? And this again, why do I feel a little dislike to see her hug Kak Rimba aggressively.
"How are you?" tanyakanya.
"As you can see" replied Rimba. "Let's sit down, eat with us," she asked later.
"Thank you." The woman sat beside me.
"Oh, meet my friend Nara" said Kak Rimba introduced me.
A fella? Am I just a friend? Said Brother Rimba he loved me long ago? Why don't I like it when he says I'm his friend.
"And this is his sister, Naro," continued Rimba later.
"Hi, Princess." The woman extended her hand towards me and Naro.
"Nara," I replied.
"Hi, I'm the Princess." He also extended his hand towards Naro.
"Naro" Naro replied without welcoming the Princess' hand.
The woman was immediately clumsy. Naro is very cold and difficult to guess. Even though I have reprimanded the planetary language of the nine Solar systems, he is still as usual.
"When did you come here?" ask Rimba. Why does Kak Rimba's gaze seem different to this woman.
"Yesterday. Sorry for not telling you. I know you are busy" replied the Princess.
Why do I feel suspicious about their relationship? Kak Rimba's gaze on this woman and this woman's gaze on Kak Rimba both have a sense of each other. Why would I know? Because I once felt his name fall in love.
"It's okay. I know your busyness," said the woman while stroking the arm of Kak Rimba.
"Thank you for understanding" said Rimba smiling warmly.
Me and Naro were silent to the conversation of Brother Rimba and Princess. Even though I wonder who this woman is? I'd love to know. But I'm afraid Rimba is offended and misunderstood.
"Papa Mama, how's it going?" ask the Princess to Rimba.
"As usual. They are still living abroad" replied Rimba.
"So you're alone here?"
Rimba nodded as she occasionally put the food into her mouth.
We finished the food ordered by Rimba.
"Rim, after this can take me a minute?" princess Pinta.
"Oh sure," replied Brother Rimba smiling.
"Ra, you're home okay, right? Later for our project, tomorrow we continue, yes?" said Kak Rimba.
I just nodded without refuting or even refusing.
"Yes already, then. Brother and daughter first, huh?" He rubbed my head with his darling.
"Yes, brother" I replied.
I stared at the backs of Brother Rimba and the Princess who were away. They don't look like ordinary friends, who exactly is that woman?
"Sister," call Naro.
"Yes, Ro?" I looked towards my sister.
"Who the hell is that, brother? How can you not do it once?" ask Naro.
"Sister doesn't know either. Maybe a friend, could be a girlfriend or ex," I said.
"Yes, let's go home" I asked Naro.
"Yes, Brother."
Naro and I walked out of the restaurant. I smiled wryly when I accidentally saw Brother Rimba open the car door for the princess to enter. What sweet attention it is, but it managed to make me jealous? Is it wrong for me to be jealous even though I have not loved Rimba? He said that he loved me but he did the same to other women.
"Sister." Naro rubbed my shoulder. "Let's go in." He opened the car door.
I nodded and went inside. Along the way I did not speak anything, my mind drifted and languished somewhere? The meeting with Mas Bintang earlier, like uncovering old wounds that are difficult to heal. Then seeing Kak Rimba meet a beautiful woman is like making me jealous.
Breathe out as much as possible. Though I have tried to open my heart to Kak Rimba and forget Mas Bintang. However, at the same time I had to be broken by the fact that the man I considered to be a wound-treater was actually infusing a wound.
"Already, Brother. Don't think too much. Positive thinking alone, maybe it's his friend Kak Rimba," said Naro calming.
A fella? I don't know, I don't think I believe in friends. It all starts with friends and then being a couple. I'm not angry to see Rimba's sister close to anyone, it's just that I'm opening my heart to him hoping that he really convinces me that Brother Jungle is a man I deserve to choose after separating from Mas Bintang.
"Did Brother like Sister Rimba?"
Seriate...
