Stuck With My First Love
News from China

After my fourth year of college, I was increasingly preoccupied with the schedule of internships at the Hospital and the making of my Script. My time with Aldi has diminished considerably. Aldi has also started the preparation of the thesis. Even though he's only in his third year. Apparently Aldi wants to immediately complete the pre-clinic for four years like his mother. In the past, his mother was able to complete education at FK U*M, a leading university in Jogjakarta for four years. So that it spurred Aldi to accelerate his pre-clinic education. After graduation, Aldi wants to immediately take a medical profession program (clinical rotation/coastalism/coastal) for two years. Aldi plans to continue the work at RSUD Moewardi, the Central Java provincial government hospital.

I graduated earlier than Aldi, Chika, Lala, Agus and Benny. At graduation Aldi accompanied me. Aldi and I took a picture together.

I successfully completed nursing education after three and a half years of college. Next I plan to take a professional education program because I want to work at the Hospital.

Finally Aldi managed to continue his coas at RSUD Moewardi, as well as me who continued the Ners profession program, and did a series of health care practices also at RSUD Moewardi. Be we both wrestle with the patient in RSUD.

The experience of “dating” with koas children is very tiring and requires god-level patience because it really drains time and energy. Not to mention the routine at the Hospital that we lived made me and Aldi despite being in one building, but it was very difficult to meet.

Did Aldi and I finally date after almost four years together? Answer is…

NO. NOPE.

Because let alone think of “dating”, being able to sleep on a soft mattress at the cost is a luxury we miss so much. My schedule and Aldi just happened to never close. I mostly get a morning practice schedule, and Aldi happens to often be able to shift day to night. Sometimes up to 35 hours have been experienced by Aldi when he can shift guard in the ER. Being a young doctor or a koas is not easy. They should be the front guard when meeting ER patients. Should be ready to blame by nurses, patients and doctors consulents (call it guidance).

As long as I take the Ners profession program, I had time to get news Anti, my best friend will be married to Ilham's brother, my cousin. I am the main supporter and first they are of course happy for both of them. Although they broke up, they finally decided to get married.

I was upset, when faced with a choice, to go home to Anti's wedding or not come home. Because what I'm afraid of is that I'll very likely meet with Dedi and Daniel who incidentally were Coco's best friends long ago.

Although for almost five years, I never met them but because Dedi and Daniel also studied in Surabaya, and they (Dedi, Daniel and Anti) were on good terms. For five years, Anti and Ilham managed to hide my existence from Dedi and Daniel. Although they are in one city, they rarely meet because of their respective college activities. Only about a year ago, they often met and sometimes went together with Ilham and their girlfriends. They met after working together. So it's impossible for me to avoid Dedi and Daniel this time.

It just so happened that Aldi got a shift ration in the ER, so he couldn't accompany me to Anti's wedding. I returned to my hometown after almost five years of leaving the city. I'm back with my parents, because Anti is also close to my family. Especially now that we are going to be a big family.

Along the way, I was really upset. Uneasily. Did I hear the news about Coco after five years of our separation? Can I hear the news about Coco? What if Dedi and Daniel ask me about my sudden move five years ago?

A lot of questions swirling around in my head. My chest was so tight to imagine if until later I heard Coco was going to marry the girl of her mother's choice at that time. What am I supposed to do? Am I ready to hear that story?

Arriving at Anti's house, I went straight to the bridal room which was also Anti's room. The beautiful girl who is soon to be my sister-in-law, that day looks very charming. True said people, when married, a person's aura will be more radiant. Anti Beauty makes everyone in the room pangling. Anti is really pretty.

I'm taking Anti to the marriage certificate. When I held it, the hand felt very cold.

“Nervous An?”whispered

“Iya lah”answered

Anti's face also looked a bit tense.

“Tomorrow if married to Aldi, then you know what it feels like”ucap Anti

“Aaan anyway An?”

“Emang Aldi hasn't nglamar you?”anti Tanya

“You are the one who wants to marry today, why even to me anyway?”

The wedding room located in the backyard of Anti's house is very beautiful. Anti and Ilham deliberately chose the concept of a garden party for their wedding party. Especially for a wedding event. Because the event was so sacred. Anti and Ilham wanted their marriage to be memorable, accompanied by those closest to them.

Kak Ilham that day looked dashing with Javanese bridal clothes that he wore. Anti walk to the marriage contract table. There was already the father of the ruler of KUA, Papa Anti, my father became a witness from the brother of Ilham, while from the Anti side who became a witness was his grandfather.

The wedding ceremony was very solemn. I feel like I got carried away. Tense follow when Papa Anti as the guardian of Anti shook the hand of Ilham's brother, then the sentence of ijab qabul was spoken very loudly by both.

“I received his marriage and marriage, Rianti Kalila Zahra bint Ahmad Syarifuddin with the dowry of a set of prayer tools and gold jewelry was paid CASH”

When the brother of Ilham with one breath, with a loud and confident voice recited the phrase ijab qabul, making all those present there happy, too, when the sentence “SAH” pronounced the witnesses and the forerunner of the second marriage.

There is a feeling of relief, haru and happiness when the sentence ijab qabul successfully pronounced brother Ilham. Unknowingly made me cry. Because once again, the dream of getting married with Coco was actually present at that time.

After the wedding ceremony, the two brides who have now officially become husband and wife who are two important people in my life go hand in hand to get congratulations from relatives and closest people. When I approached the two, I cried. I hugged Anti. And made Anti cry too. Ilham's brother even scolded me.

“You know Vi..come even make Anti nangis”seru kak Ilham busy removing Anti tears so as not to damage his make-up.

“Ya sorry..I was touched by sis..finally you guys married also”ucapku while wiping my tears.

“Congratulations Yes Anti pity”ucapku on Anti

“Call brother Anti.now he's your brother-in-law”ucap brother Ilham reminds me

“Iya.iya..Congratulations too, brother..Well you know yes the same Anti”ucapku at the brother of Ilham

“Kak Anti” exclaimed brother Ilham again corrects how to call me.

“Iya.iya.iya.baru also married how many minutes.galak sih”gerutuku.

“Udah here.picture first”kak Ilham pulled my hand then we took a photo of three with me flanked in the middle.

I was happy to see the happiness of Anti and Ilham's brother that day. The couple smiled happily, making me smile with both.

And finally what I was afraid of happened. I met with Dedi and Daniel.

“How are you doing now Vi? Long time yes we did not meet” said Dedi

“Iya.ya..how many years has it been? four years? five years?” ask Daniel

“Five years”kataku with a smile

“Wah..old also yes?”reply Daniel

“I'm fine”

We talked three. We have not met for a long time. Apparently they are still the same as before, not much has changed. Still as funny and silly as the last time we met. Five years ago. Suddenly a question caught me. I want to know about Coco.

“How to.coco Newspaper?”

When I said that, my heart was beating very fast. Between curiosity and fear is what I feel.

“Coco yes? I heard he was happy in China” said Dedi

“Iya.he is at home there” Daniel added

“Do you guys never exchange news? You were his girlfriend?” ask Dedi

“Oya, last I heard that Coco is getting married” said Dedi

“Iya.I also got the news” Daniel said

“You have no problem with that Vi?”ask Dedi

Again I just smile.

“Thank God he was happy there. Say hello to him”

“I met Anti first ya”I also say goodbye to Dedi and Daniel.

“Can I ask for your phone number Vi?”ask Dedi

“Sorry yes, anytime we chat again”kataku then leave Dedi and Daniel.

I knew sooner or later I would have heard the news too. But what I didn't realize was that he was still filling my heart. He still holds my heart and feelings. Upon hearing the news, my heart ached.

After Anti's wedding, I went back to Solo. Actually, Dedi and Daniel asked for my new phone number, but I didn't want to give it. I don't want my phone to sound all of a sudden, and I hear it again after a long time. Not to ask me how I am. But announce the wedding. Moreover, they say in the near future he will get married. I don't want to. Let me with my fond memories of that Coco I loved five years ago.
