The Curse of Love
Part 202 I Love You Still
"Had Maya not appeared in my life, I would have been by her side to help take care of the children!!! " inner Niko with a sad feeling.
"Now to see if I should hide.Hidden like this, what a sad story of my love!!" Niko felt her chest tight with something she was trying to hold onto.
Every time she has time, Niko will visit Sania and the children even though she has to hide. His love for Sania can never be replaced even with the presence of Maya though.

"Well, when should we get married without your parents present?" asked Sania that afternoon.
"My father is sick, mah.beliau only gave permission from Kuala Lunpur."
"We are holding a simple event that matters legally in the eyes of the law and the state!!" riko said at the time.
I didn't think it would be my third wedding, if Sofwan had come on time before Riko, I would have chosen him because he was the father of my children.
But until this moment, let alone come here while the news is not heard anymore. Only the other day the Sultan brought a gift from Sofwan mas souvenir from Jakarta, when I asked the Sultan where he was, the Sultan's answer was simple.
"Sofwan's message you no longer need to wait for him, marry if there are other people who are sincere and love you.Do not wait for me because I am not a man worth waiting for."
It turns out that Sofwan never changed his nature is still the same as before and it makes me very disappointed.
Not many people were invited that afternoon. Once again I saw Sultan present at my wedding with his taboo. My three best friends and their husbands, some neighbors and an uncle from Riko who represent the wedding of his nephew. Jonathan and Juma's father were also present, but Niko did not come to attend my wedding at all. Dr Alvin and his family were also present.
When the word valid was echoed, Riko kissed my forehead and my cheeks. With her face radiant even though there was a puddle of tears in the corner of her eyes.
"I'll love you any day!!" whispered kelingaku.
"I'm sorry papah, if you know my parents didn't approve of our marriage, I'm sorry if you had to lie!!" riko whispered in my heart while tucking my forehead.
I also felt like a dream, a little boy who used to always love me everywhere, eat kusuapi, I bathed, until kunina bobokan, desperate to propose to me to be his wife.
I looked at the diamond ring that was coiled on the ring finger of my right hand. My wedding ring with Miko I hung over my wedding frame with Miko first. The sign of the ring will be proof that I still love her even though she is now in the realm of eternity.
Riko herself doesn't mind my wedding photo and Mimo stays hanging on the wall.
I once asked her if she wasn't jealous when I saw that wedding photo?
The answer is simple, "if Miko were alive I would be jealous, but now Miko wouldn't exist anymore, so why would I be jealous of the dead?" so he said at the time.
"Congratulations, papah Riko.." said Dina sincerely.
Although he had opposed my relationship with Riko, but in the end his heart was broken also saw the sincerity and kindness of Riko.
"Bah, take good care of our mother.Do not ever hurt your mother like they hurt our mother, if papah violates it, papah will face us all." Dina told Riko.
"Of course, son, only death can separate us both.Well promise not only to your mother but to all of you!!"
Jederrr.
Coinciding as Riko finished her last sentence, thunder boomed in the sky.

"Sultan...finally he married someone else???" sofwan's husky voice held back his own urge.
His eyes were red as he made a video call with the Sultan.
"Thank you for letting her be happy, Sofwan!!" said Sultan smiled even though in his heart was no less sick with what Sofwan felt.
"I tried to take it, Sultan.because if he was with me back there would be more heartache that he would receive.
Sofwan turned his gaze to another direction but the Sultan knew that Sofwan was shedding tears.
"Actually you're a good man, Sofwan.it's just possible that your soul mate to be together has run out enough to get here!!" sultan tried to encourage Sofwan.
"I've learned a lot from you Sultan, your patience, your fortitude.even if you are sick you keep trying to make love and always assume if he is my soul mate, no matter how long the journey of life brings us he will definitely return, he will be sure, and no matter how much struggle we have if we don't match, then he'll also go far away from us."
"Although difficult at first, it turns out that learning to sneak will make our lives feel much calmer."
"How long have you been in Yogyakarta, Sofwan?" the Sultan said again.
"I am not in Yogyakarta, Sultan.only Aisyah who lives there with her grandfather, I am in Batam replacing the position of Angga who now takes care of my father-in-law's company in Jakarta."
"You are grateful to have a father-in-law as good as Mr. Irawan, even though you are no longer his daughter-in-law but he still loves you like his own biological son and still gives full confidence to you to take care of his company...do not waste the kindness and trust that your father-in-law has given you, Sofwan."
"Trust will never come twice, once we betray it people will still think of us as traitors even if we try to change it."
Sofwan's face was slapped upon hearing the Sultan's words which subtly insinuated him.
"But all the words of the Sultan are true, he is a traitor of love and a traitor of the family.
However one day he will change, for Sania and her children he is still a traitor.
"Send my regards to him yes, Sultan!! Happy new life and happy congratulations."
After the phone call ended, Sofwan sat curled up in the corner of his room. Chaotic, sad, disappointed, angry constantly gathered into one filled his brain.
"It should be me who is currently sitting back in front of the ruler to marry Sania and gather together again with the children, instead of the boy yesterday that afternoon!!" Sofwan continues to curse his own stupidity.
"Fuck Vivi, well.maybe I'd be alone in Batam!! I want to forget all my past, hopefully I can bounce back from my slump."
