Don't want to linger. Not wanting to be lost in the past. I don't want to torture my heart constantly.
After Mr. Adrian's proposal that afternoon, he immediately invited marriage a week later.
Don't you ask how I feel?
Happy, sad, confused, scared. All of those feelings are fused into one in my heart.
The phone on the bed rang, I picked it up to see who was calling so early.
My eyes suddenly swerved, the name of the bang David on the screen.
For a while, I let the phone keep ringing without any intention of picking it up. Until he finally died alone.
Once
Twice
Three times
Until the call to five.
Right now, I am getting ready to go to work as usual.
Although my marriage to Adrian is less than a week away. But I kept up the routine as usual.
Morning to work and home when afternoon comes.
Fortunately, Adrian did not forbid either. So that I can work quietly.
This wedding is different from previous weddings that seem luxurious. This time, I chose to carry out the marriage simply. Suffice only close relatives who know this sacred moment. The important thing in living it, we can both accept and be happy together.
Enough is enough, a fancy wedding, but in it too much theatrics.
The sound of the incoming message distracts my mind. My eyes narrowed as I read the message from the David bang.
'Anna 's. Can we meet? Important.'
Whatdoes thatmean? I don't think there's anything important we need to talk about. It's all done.
'About what?' Quick reply.
It seems that Bang David is indeed waiting for my reply. The message I sent immediately ticked two blue.
'About the three of us.'
Ck. Why short reply, anyway. Not immediately at length, so that everything is clear.
Stupidly, I was still serving that guy. Sucks.
'Which three of us?'
'Let's talk about it when we meet. At lunch at the cafe near your workplace, yes.'
I no longer reply. Choose to be ready before it is too late.
After getting dressed, I immediately went out of the room to the dining table. Eat the breakfast that was prepared. This time, I was just helping my mom.
There had sat Alina in neat clothes. She looks so beautiful and sexy.
"Alina, what part do you work for?" I looked confused at his appearance.
"I was made secretary, brother." he replied casually. His hands were busy scooping the fried rice menu this morning.
I nodded in understanding. It deserves that appearance. Short skirt, with blezer pair.
Don't ask me how I look. I'm wearing basic trousers, with a three-quarter striped shirt. Just an ordinary look, of course.
Several times I learned to wear bolder clothes. I laughed to myself seeing my appearance, the clothes I just bought as a test run were only stored tightly in the closet. I don't want to wear it to work.
In fact, with a little sexy clothes suitable for me who works in the field of cosmetics.
In addition to a clean face, customers are also interested in the appearance of smooth skin. Unfortunately, I'm not even confident.
"How are you preparing for your wedding, Anna?" Mother's voice shatters the silence in this greenhouse. A greenhouse that only holds the silence and memories of the past. Silencing the voice that wanted to tell her story. That's what's going on between me and Alina right now.
However much I tried to break the silence, it always seemed to fail. Because Alina responds so lazily to every sentence that comes out of my mouth.
In fact, ever since we shared our feelings that night. It even further aggravates the atmosphere. When will this peace of heart come back?
I am tired of having a cold war with my sister.
Alina and I turned to Mom. I saw my mother staring at us in turn.
For a moment, Alina and I looked at each other. Looking into the depths of the eyeball, it could not be denied if there was a wound there.
I cleared my throat slowly, neutralizing this awkwardness. Then chose to cut off eye contact with Alina, looking at the mother who was waiting for me to talk.
"The word is simple, Mom. So .. mmm, it doesn't take much preparation. Stay fittings of wedding clothes that have not." I explained to mother in a very slow and careful voice.
I was wondering if there was anything wrong with my words.
Mom nodded, a sign of understanding. While Alina stood up, ready to step away leaving the fried rice that only ate a few mouthfuls.
"Where are you going? Your breakfast is not over." prevent mother, who was only met with a cynical look at me.
What else is my fault with him?
"Step, Mom. It's full." Then Alina passed away leaving us in a state that was still dumbfounded by her attitude.
"Wait, Alina!" I want to chase him.
"Mom, I'm leaving yeah ...." Not to forget I greeted my mother, kissing both cheeks of the woman who had given birth to us.
"Be careful." Mom smiled, patting my head slowly. I nodded then ran outside chasing after Alina who had been on the side of the road.
"Dina!" I called out again for Alina to hear. He glanced at her and threw his eyes in any direction.
"What's wrong with you?" many rush.
Alina was crying. Her tears had drenched both cheeks.
I approached, pulling his head to drown ya in my chest. Gutting his head slowly.
"Cup .. cup .. don't cry anymore. Your makeup fades later." He raised his head, rubbing his face with the back of his hand. Then he was caught with a hoarse voice.
I also chuckled, then stroked his head. Alina is still a sister to me.
A spoiled little sister and I pamper every time.
"Sister, please tell Bang David to marry me soon. I'm tired of waiting. Mother anyway, use the event misunderstand everything. That's why I didn't get married, right. Look, even Brother who married and finally not happy at all, right?" great-grandson Alina at length. With his special pouting face sulking spoiled.
"Later Brother think. Now I can't, because I'm busy thinking about wedding preparations." I answered slowly. My eyes stayed focused on him.
Alina lowered her head, both hands tugging at the bag she was carrying with her legs knocked into the street
"I can't do a lot of things right now. Moreover, Bang David is the status of an ex-husband. No matter how early our marriage was, the status of the former could not be eliminated. Later Brother try to discuss with Mr. Adrian, yes. There may be a solution." My class was long, trying to calm his heart while looking for a solution to this problem.
Apart from the bang David and Mr. Adrian there is something, as they showed when on the porch of the house. I still want to solve this problem as soon as possible. As quickly as possible. Because Alina's feelings are the stakes.
Ah yes, talking about Adrian sir, I was reminded of the message bang David sent this morning.
I promise that when I get to the office, I'll call Adrian. It's not good to talk about David's request now that I'm with Alina.
We're separated here. Alina chose to take a car taxi to get to her office. I took a motorcycle to my office. Riding a motorcycle is cheaper. Don't forget about it.
Arriving at the office, I immediately contacted Adrian sir.
"Hello, Ann." Just one call, Adrian sir immediately answered my call.
"Yes, Sir. Mmm."
"She, what?"
"When you're in Malang, what's wrong?"
"Mmm, that was .. Bang David sent me a message, asking to meet. What about Adrian?"
Silent moment. I just heard a long breath from across there. I'm sure, there's something that Adrian tried to hold and is being hidden by the man.
"Mr ...." I called him again. Can't wait for him to voice a response.
"Yes?" replied the man softly.
"Where?"
"What?"
Lho, how the hell? Get opinions again too. You guys, just forgot for a moment.
"Pak Adrian's opinion of the meeting."
"Oohs. Yeah, I'm afraid." he replied sounding relaxed.
Wow, seriously people. Suddenly acting strange. "The truth, you're okay?"
"Yes .. why-why dong. Cook, my wife-to-be wants to meet her ex-husband for nothing. How, anyway? How do you feel you I met my ex-wife?"
"Lho, what am I, anyway? So now I ask, what do my husband-to-be think. Pas knows, if the ex-husband wants to meet his future wife."
"Ooh ... Hm ...."
Oh gosh. Adrian sir got what syndrome again, anyway? This morning it's so sweet, huh.
I scratch my head that does not itch, if for a moment look at the old phone screen. Re-read the name on the screen, if only I was in the wrong contact with people.
Not Adrian, but his twin probably. Or the incarnation that looks like Adrian sir, so?
You see, Adrian sir does not have a twin. Automatic again strange like this is the incarnation out of nowhere.
Then I put the phone back in my left ear.
"Ann ..." call her soft, like a whisper in my ear.
"Yes ...."
"This husband of yours, misses you so much. Hmmm, after meeting David, we'll go."
"okay."
"Dad." Yeah."
Tut's.
The connection was broken by him. Before I say goodbye.
I shook my head, then smiled to imagine that Adrian was putting on a sullen face. Must be adorable.
"Look, Ann. Whiny. What the hell is it, anyway?" Nadia's voice cast the shadow of Adrian in my eyes.
"Repo." I murmured, throwing a lidha at him.
"Damn it!" We laughed together. Not waiting for long, we have been busy with each other's activities, getting the job done.
***
Right now, I'm sitting in a chair opposite Bang David.
Somehow I look at him now. However, it seemed that the man was keeping a lot of trouble in his head. His face looks very tangled, especially with the view of the sideburns on his face that somehow from when not cut. Adding an old impression on his face.
I smiled amusedly at his current appearance. Usually, this man in front of me always looks neat with neat clothes. Don't ask me what it looks like, I said it didn't. If the man is very handsome. Sure oes.
But not with today. His face, ah already forget how the current David bang looks. Big boss David with a face.
"What do you want to eat?"
Yes, in front of him has prepared a food menu here.
"I'll just drink. No more appetite."
The man looked up, then narrowed his eyes. "Why not eat? A diet? Heh. Even when you marry me, you don't eat. Why is it now as if you are torturing yourself towards your marriage?"
Eh? What's the business of trying? I was half-dead hearing her sneer. However, considering not wanting to linger in dealing with him, then I also refrained from too venting emotions.
"Better, just go straight to the point. There's something important about what makes Bang David want to meet me?"
Yes, I sometimes say formal sometimes also relaxed to him. Between my words and mine, call it according to the situation I face.
"I want to eat first, hungry. From last night not eating." he replied in a weak voice.
It's so sorry for him.
"I'll just drink, Bang." I answered in the end with a soft voice.
"Didn't want to eat? I paid, really."
"Yes, just drink. I also really don't want to eat right now."
"okay." His hand called out to the waiter, then mentioned his order.
Not long after, our order arrived. The man ate voraciously, occasionally glancing at me. And then put a mouthful into his mouth.
"You want to taste? It tastes good, you know. Not too inferior to your cooking." Bang David held out his spoon to me. With your mouth open.
I'm shaking. The eyes imply grief. What's wrong with her? Please don't shake my defenses. In fact, my heart still could not bear to see him like this.
I just kept silent, waiting for him to spend his meal greedily. He looks like he is short of food. As he said, from night out he didn't eat.
"Quickly finish the food on my plate. Or do I need to order it again?" he put the spoon on an empty plate.
"Is your brother still hungry?" I just want to know.
He's flailing. Then slowly say. "I just want to be with you longer."
"Ah." I'm hissing. If he had said that first, when I was his wife.
A wife who always adores her husband, of course I will be very happy.
However, right now there are two people whose happiness I must guard against. Alina and Adrian.
"So, what's Bang David talking about?"
"Hmmm, it seems like you want to rush once, huh." He chuckles that I think even sounds forced.
"I have to work again. In a moment, the break is over."
"Sin ...."
"Yes?"
"Are you happy now?" I told Tidka to believe her question. "I mean, are you happy now. Soon you will be married to Adrian. Do you feel the same way you did when you were waiting for your days to marry me? Is same?"
"What kind of question is that? Of course I'm happy."
"Yes, I understand." Bang David nodded his head repeatedly.
"Oh yeah, when is Bang David going to marry Alina. I don't want to yes, if you hang your feelings like this." I said with a demanding tone. I hope this man in front of me understands how important Alina's happiness is to me.
"Ah that. Does that girl's happiness mean a lot to you?" tanyakanya.
"certain." I answered the mantab.
"Ah, for that reason it is also what makes you not want to forgive me. Because Alina won't let me go. All right, if that's the case. I will marry your beloved sister soon. And let us be tormented together. Because I am so sure. Anna still loves David. But unfortunately a David is no more valuable than an Alina."
I'm speechless. My mouth is tightly clenched. There are so many words I want to say to him. Unfortunately, my tongue is muddy, just opening my mouth I can't afford.
