Stuck With My First Love
Love Full of Elbow

Unexpectedly, someone came holding my shoulder from behind. I looked towards him. It turned out to be her mother. The middle-aged woman had been standing behind me. I tried to shake his hand but he pulled me. He hugged me while shedding tears.

“Mama wants to talk to Vivi. You leave us for a minute yes nak”ujar mama.

“Alright”said Coco

Coco left me and her mom.

We sit in chairs. He held my hand while holding my face occasionally.

“Im sorry aunt..Aunty's been guilty of a lot to you and Coco”

“Tante no need to apologize..It's also my fault” I said blame myself

“No..you are not guilty at all”

“All this is because of my selfishness.have made my own son suffer”.

“You don't know what suffering he's going through because of my stupidity” He keeps blaming himself.

I tried to calm him down. I cuddled his body which was beginning to age.

Then he started telling stories.

As soon as I got to China, Coco called me. My phone is inactive. At first Coco didn't suspect why I was so hard to contact. He started contacting Dedi and Daniel to find information about me. How surprised he was to know I had moved, and no one knew where I was.

Almost every day Coco and her mother fought because her mother was irritated, all she thought about was me. Because according to her mother, her love for me was just an ordinary monkey. Her mother admitted she was very unhappy with Coco's attitude that always stood up for me and thought about me.

Finally one day, his mother fell. Said that it was the young man who asked me to leave him. Hearing that, Coco was furious. Just this time, he saw Coco get angry like that.

Maybe because feeling guilty about me, made me decide to break our relationship unilaterally, Coco continued to blame herself. Moreover, he knew, he could not return to Indonesia.

The following days were like hell according to his mother. Coco kept shutting herself in the room. He won't eat. He doesn't want to talk to anyone. His soul seemed to be shaken.

All the ways to get Coco out of the room. His mother was afraid Coco could go crazy over this. He also consulted a psychiatrist.

Once, unbeknownst to his mother, Coco attempted suicide by drinking insect venom. Fortunately, someone found out, and immediately took him to the Hospital.

I was shocked to hear that story. He tried to kill himself?

It was a turning point in his mother's life. All his life, only this time he saw his son like that. Coco who is usually cold and indifferent, even to her mother, to the point of trying to kill herself just because she loves me. He then realized that I meant a lot to his youngest son's life. He realized his mistake and promised to bless our relationship.

After Coco woke up, she told her that she could return to Indonesia but on one condition, she had to finish her studies first. His mother promised to help me find information about my whereabouts. He can also return to Indonesia during his college holidays. Coco did not believe her mother at first. But with Caroline's help, Coco finally wants to trust her mother.

From that story, I knew Caroline was a friend of her second sister who also majored in medicine in China. Caroline is a Chinese-born Indonesian whose family lives in Solo. It was from Caroline that Coco was finally willing to continue her studies and finally got a job as an Architect there.

During her college, she kept going back and forth between Indonesia and China, only to be able to find me. But I was lost in the earth. Coco was desperately looking for me. Dedi and Daniel always helped him but it didn't work.

“Next story, you ask Coco” yourself

“Tante is very grateful, finally you can be reunited again”

“Tante bless your relationship”pap mama

“Thank you aunt” I said then I hugged him.

“Tante go inside first. you guys soon follow into ya”.

“Iya aunt”I nodded

Her mother went back into the ballroom. Coco. We sit back.

I hold his face. All the suffering she has endured because of me. Makes me feel so guilty.

“Surely you are there suffering because of me. I'm sorry my” regretted everything I did to her while crying.

“I never thought you'd be that close”

“If anything happens to you at that time, I will definitely not forgive myself” my tears flow back

He wiped my tears. She smiles.

“What has my mama said?”

I told him back everything I heard from his mother.

Then he started telling me that he actually knew I was in Solo a year ago. Since the wedding of Anti. He also came to the wedding. But he chose to hide, and looked at me from afar. He knew that I moved because I didn't want to see him. He won't lose me for

the second time, he chose to hide.

He also told me that he met Anti, right after I came home from the wedding. He knew that Anti was my only friend. Therefore he asked Anti to tell him everything he knew about me, especially after his departure to China five years ago.

At first Anti didn't want to. He declined. Because Anti promised me he wouldn't tell anyone where I was. But seeing Coco was so serious to me, it ended up being Anti-collapse as well and told me everything.

It was from Anti that he finally found out my address in Solo. He also knew I never dated during college and after work. Even though Aldi, the classmate who used to like me, shot me a second time.

I was surprised to hear Coco had followed Aldi to Surabaya. And again, talk to men. Coco still kept her conversation with Aldi a secret.

After finishing all his business in China, finally six months ago, he decided to return to Indonesia and settle in Solo.

“So you know I work for doctor Caroline?” much

“At first I didn't know. It's just a coincidence that when you applied to be a nurse at Caroline's clinic, I was there at the time.”

“I'm sure this isn't a coincidence. This must be the answer to the prayers I offer every day

“So our meeting, at your sister's house back then, wasn't the first one?”

“Simply, you look so calm”kataku

“Don't you arrange for me to replace Aisyah then?”ask me curious

“You think..I'll miss the chance to meet you just like that?”the answer made me feel overwhelmed

“I don't want to lose you a second time..That's why Me and Caroline manage all this” she said as she held my finger tightly.

“Then why did you lie about your marriage? About this engagement?”ask me curious

“All this is Caroline's idea.she convinced me, that you will surely know your true feelings if I do this all”

“Proven right..now we can be with”ucapnya at length

I'm nodding.

“And now…"

He got up from his seat, and sat down in front of me.

"I'll ask you..”.

He took something out of his pocket. A ring.

“Will you marry me?”

I'm appalled. I didn't think he would propose to me here.

Of course I want to.

“I want” replied me.

He kissed the back of my hand. I'm so moved.

He put the ring on my finger. My sweet day. Just like before. But now he proposed to me.

I'm so happy.

My dream with the man I love has finally come true. It has paid for all the tears and suffering we have experienced so far.

We finally got together. In a love full of twists.
