Not a Curse
141. Toying Destiny

"Ma-you mean Mami??" Beca's eyes are already glazed. It was as if he was denying all the negative thoughts he had in his brain.

"Well, you're patient. Your marriage can not be continued because Yovi has died in an accident while traveling here" This time Via just answered clearly what really happened.

"What??" It wasn't the screams or shocks of surprise that came out of Beca's lips. But the sound of a wailing describes destruction.

"Patience" Via still hugged Beca even though the bride-to-be had no reaction.

Beca was still frozen and silent. Only the melt of my tears was able to represent all of his current feelings.

"Well, is this true??" Viola asked as unreliably as Beca.

Erland just nodded then walked over to his wife. The news clearly makes sadness for them. They had known Yovi for so long, where perhaps they did not feel shocked and lost.

"No way!! This is not possible, is it??" Beca looked at Vino with nanar. It was the man who brought the news for the first time.

"I hope so too Beca" said Vino, who could not hide her sadness.

"No!! Surely Brother Yovi just ran away from this marriage. So he made excuses like this to avoid me. Isn't that Vi?? Do you know for yourself if he wants to marry me not for love?? He must have left because of that, right??"

Beca's words immediately made Via and Vino frown. They felt there was something Beca was hiding about the marriage.

"Be calm" Via grabbed the shoulder of Beca who was still sitting in front of her dresser.

Beca shook her head loudly while continuing to sob. A sense of tightness attacked his chest at this moment.

"Where can Vi calm down, Brother Yovi has left. I'm not anyone else. He is what I wish to be my family. But now there's no more. I feel completely alone in this world Vi" Beca could not help but endure the pain in her heart. Fear of solitude in this world.

"Don't talk like that. You still have all of us. There's Mami and Papi, Mami's kids are there for you too. Now that you calm down, we wait for the next news. Just pray for Yovi" Via wiped the tears of Beca who had made her make up messy.

Beca is back. Many are attacking his mind now. Including his fate after this. What if she's pregnant, who's willing to take responsibility. While he himself is not possible to abort his fetus if indeed he contains the seeds of Yovi.

Beca also recalled Yovi's recent changes. The man seemed to be welcoming their wedding. Everything Yovi prepared with all his heart. Even Beca wasn't that enthusiastic.

"Vi, why would Brother Yovi be like me Vi?? He said he would learn to accept me and love me. He said Yovi's sister will make me his last woman. All of those promises I held firmly in my heart. But why is that promise being taken away??"

Viola and Endah could not help but cry when they heard Beca's story.

"You know Vi, lately Brother Yovi is so sweet. He really treated me like a woman he loved so much"

Again the word that came out of Beca was able to make Vino, Via and also Endah wonder. Looks like there's something Beca's hiding from them. However Vino did not see any reaction from Viola and Erland.

"He's paying attention to me. He always uttered sweet words. He even took me a picture when we fit a wedding dress two days ago. He said it was for memories. He had this kind of memento that he meant Vi. Maybe he had a premonition before. But it all just makes my heart hurt Vi" Beca again sobbed by patting her chest that felt tight.

"Maybe if he refuses me or doesn't want to marry me. I'm not gonna get this sick, but this time I can't stand Vi's pain"

Viola could not get out any words. He just sobbed on Beca's side. He knew that his best friend had never been in a relationship with anyone. Only this time did he get someone who was willing to accept it but also instantly made it crumble like this.

"Now where is Brother Yovi Kak?? Take me there!! I want to see how she is, sister"

Beca asks Erland and Vino to take her to Yovi.

"Well, you better not go there first. Think of your condition like this. We don't want anything to happen to you" Vino said.

"But, sister, I want to see it. Please, take me there. I have to meet him, maybe for the last time. I beg you" Beca clenched her hands in front of her chest.

"Bang, let's take Beca to the hospital. He has the right to see Brother Yovi" Viola disagrees with Vino who forbids Beca from seeing Yovi.

Beca also has to see for herself how Yovi is doing right now. She is the most unfortunate woman at the moment.

"All right"

Eventually Vino agreed to Beca's wish. Without thinking about her current appearance, which was more like a festival participant who had walked from the morning on the appeal of a bride, Beca immediately followed Vino to her car.

Erland and Viola also follow Vino and Endah who take Beca. They all went to the hospital where the victims of the consecutive accident that hit Yovi earlier.

"Aante!!" Beca saw her mother Yovi sitting on the floor alone.

"Reca, O Allah Beca. Yovi ca Yovi" Mama Yovi immediately hysterical when she saw Beca who came still wearing her wedding dress.

The middle-aged woman who so kindly accepted Beca was now much more devastated than Beca. His only son died right in front of his eyes.

"Tante, Brother Yovi where is Tan?? Beca wants to see Aunt Yovi. Beca still couldn't believe that Beca hadn't seen it herself" The two women hugged each other in hysterical cries.

"You're patient Beca. Ikhlaskan Yovi" The new man's voice coming with his shirt stained with blood made Beca speechless.

"Om, is this real??" Beca asked still with high hopes.

"Tell him so that his way is wide. With your cries and Mama's like this. It will only make Yovi's path obstructed. Papa does not want Papa's proud son to lose his way while seeking the way to God"

The middle-aged man looked even more resolute despite the apparent deep sorrow in the look of the old eye.
