The Curse of Love

The Curse of Love
Part 44 The Story of the Waiting

"Where do you want to start my story?"


"From the beginning of our separation, until now..."


I stirred the straw in my glass.I tried to recall some of the memories of Miko.


Flashback****


"Sister.I want to go take my mother to Singapore, my grandmother is very sick there.so grandfather asked my mother to come home..."


I kept quiet for a while.The beginning of our time together actually I had no feelings for Miko. I consider him a little boy who loves me just because he thinks I'm older than him.


But after 3 months together, with its potent nature, its rancid nature but also sometimes able to mature beyond the age of just 15 years, finally my heart melted as well.


"How long are you going to go, Ko?"


"I'm sure today is gone, tomorrow it's back here again brother.I can't afford to stay apart with you for long..."


"Gombal.clap his shoulder with a book in my hand."


"Silver..always I was beaten.try once in a while I was hugged..Dearly so...later if I go long, brother will be lonely here."


I don't know why it was so hard to let him go. I feel like Miko's talk that will go long will come true.


I hugged her affectionately, "Miko should hurry back huh.kak Nia will definitely miss Miko very much."


"Sir Nia wants next week at high school graduation, Miko is next to big sister."


"Miko put her head on my lap.Kubelai hair lovingly."


"Wouldn't promise to always wait for Miko to return?"


"For whatever time Miko will definitely come back, because Miko's angel is here..."


That was the last day I was with Miko because when she left, she did not allow me to take her to the airport.


I waited for her until graduation day, and that's where I received the sad news from the school that told Miko and her mother about the accident.


Almira's mother Miko died on the spot while Miko was critical.


I don't know what else to do, where to follow?


I really lost my way at that moment. It may be true the saying goes.after he was not then felt lost. And that's how I feel.


Just from the mouth of the bucket my brother told my mother and father that I had dared to date and I was willing to lie, if all this time said he wanted to go to group study with friends, while going with Miko.


I was completely pinned down for almost a month by my father, so I didn't have a chance to find out about Miko.


I was sick from frustration. Until finally mother took the initiative to ask for water on a Kyai, so that I can gradually forget about Miko.


I'm still waiting for him to come back. So when Sofwan came into my life at first I didn't respond too much. Until I had to step in and persuade me to make peace with my past and accept Sofwan.

Miko shed tears hearing my story.


"I'm sorry baby.he held my hands tightly. Fortunately the atmosphere around this cafe is not too many visitors.


"You know. after the accident.I was in a coma for 3 months.in my dreams you were always present to encourage my life."


"After I came to my senses from the coma, my legs became paralyzed."


"It's a good thing my legs didn't get amputated."


"For the first year after I was conscious of my coma and during therapy on both my legs.I can only home schooling."


"The second year, I went back to Indonesia.I went to our school first and found out about you, but it was a dead end..."


"I had time to curse my stupidity, why did not secretly follow you home.so that I know where your house is."


"I'm not desperate.all the places we've been together, I'm visiting.hope I find you there."


"Until finally after a month of searching for me, my grandfather asked me to return home to Singapore, to finish my school and continue my studies there."


"I swear, if I graduate from university, I'll go back to Indonesia to find you, to find my first love that I lost."


"Until I finally waited for my bed and my prayers were answered as well, at first I thought I was dreaming or hallucinating seeing you wiping the glass in front of the office door...because you are now much thinner and your skin is blacker than it used to be."


"But I don't care how you are, because to me you are still my most beautiful woman."


"Ko..already almost 13.00, we go back yuk..I have to work again."


"But you haven't told me everything about your life story, baby.I want to hear it."


"Tomorrow is still there, Ko.I will definitely tell you a lot but later, yes.the time is not right."


We both went back to the office. " Later put me down again at the end of the road, huh, Ko?"


"Why don't you all go down in front of the office anyway, sis?"


I'm shaking. "Not yet, Ko?"


"When are you going to move out, brother? I'll definitely help you pick up the stuff."


"I haven't been to Dina's school to ask for a transfer letter."


"Do I have to ask for a letter too, brother? I looked away at him confused..."


"What letter is Ko...?"


"Letter that says you are my wife!! So that we don't get raided by the people, if I stay in your contract."


"Why do you also take my contract, Ko?"


"Who knows if I'm going home, suddenly it's a holy day..."


"Basar lebay you, Ko?"


""Stop here, Ko, let me go back to the office on foot..."


Then without waiting for his approval I opened the door and went down...Miko just shook her head to see my behavior.


"Remember the baby.you still have a story debt to me!!"


"Haduh..pada nagibih nagih event again the Miko, whereas I want all the memories of mas Sofwan will be lost.eh this I want to lift this story again."


I do not focus on my work, how long the story of my love and Miko as well as the story of my love and Sofwan mas, slice everything.


If only I had not known both and had not fallen in love with both, my life would have been fine.


But the life line has destined my life like this. I sometimes protest to myself. I am the type of person who is difficult to fall in love, but if I have loved once, then it is also difficult to forget and let go. A dozen years I tried to rise up when I lost Miko, tried my luck in love and my life in Sofwan, but it also ended the same.


I don't know when I'll find my happiness.


***Connected....


With all humility, I am with my family to apologize for all my misdeeds and caliphates.


Happy Eid Al-Fitr Day 1 Shawwal 1443 H..
