Micheal Emerson's Choice
Episode 2 - Choice
"I also think he's just kidding, Angel. But it turns out he's very serious, I can't do anything about the wedding, Michael himself is going through the wedding so I let him decide for himself who will be his master," said Firda who was currently talking to Mommy Angeline on the phone.
"I feel like there's something wrong with Micheal, Fir. Since he often said he wanted to marry Arini immediately, was it possible that he was just joking at that time?" angeline asked, which made Firda immediately massage the base of her nose because she had the same question.
"Come, Brother. But Arini didn't make any comment when we came to her house, she was acting normal even when Michael expressed his desire to propose to Zenwa."
"really? So are they just friends? He usually listens to you, Fir. So ask me what really happened, I don't want her to choose the wrong one."
"I don't think Zenwa would have been the wrong choice, Angeline. She's a very good woman, her education is very good and I heard she never said 'no' to her parents."
.........
The good woman could now only cry over her chest, it was not an easy choice that was offered to her, let alone Zenwa not knowing the reason why Micheal had asked for her. Arini added that she did not say anything, even when asked about her relationship with Micheal, Arini only replied that they never started a relationship.
"Yes Rabb, your weak servant is at a loss, what decision to make, how." Zenwa's tears fell down his palm that rose to heaven, he complained to the owner of his heart about his heart being troubled and worried.
"I see, Micheal is a good man, but that's just from the sight of this ordinary man. Yes Rabb, I'm pretty sure Arini loves that guy, even that guy loves my brother, but why? Why'd she ask me?" lirih Zenwa's.
"Let's hug you if you miss me. Because we're still not mahrams, so you hug the doll first, it smells just like me."
Arini's tears grew louder as she recalled what Micheal had said, especially when she recalled Micheal's facial expression at the time. Arini increasingly tightened his embrace on the doll and he inhaled deeply the aroma of Micheal that was so attached to his sense of smell, sobs of crying he could not stop.
"I miss you" muttered Arini in a choked voice.
While the man who was missed was in the same state, his heart ached but no longer worried. His heart was confident in the decision he made, despite having to incise deep wounds.
Micheal opened the window of his room wide, he sat in the window, letting the night wind caress his body which only wore a boxer and a plain T-shirt. Micheal's gaze stared at the dark sky, as dark as Micheal's heart as he knew Arini would never belong to him.
"I can't blame fate for all this, because it's my choice."
