The Shadow Of Love

The Shadow Of Love
Elder sister


"It's weird, huh! I don't care if you want to be my brother to protect me from all harm. But not by marrying me too. I'm still in High School, you know!" ocehku at length. 


"Nothing. I don't mind waiting for you to graduate, Shay," he replied casually, but filled with an aura of seriousness. 


"The problem isn't there. I've had a guy since last year. I can't possibly betray him by being in a relationship with someone else" I explained. 


He looked at me with a hard look. I don't know what he'll say. However, from that expression, it seemed like he was going to lecture me again. 


"You know, yes. The married person can get divorced if their soul mate is over. What else is new dating. You know, in religion we don't even allow that courtship, Shay. Sin," he said that suddenly happened like an ustadz. 


"Yes, why would you propose to me then?" I asked who deliberately reversed his words earlier. 


"I'll invite you to marry, not to date," he replied in a relaxed tone without burden. 


"Stay away. Got married after I graduated High School" I said quickly. 


"If it's, anyway, it's up to you. Want to marry tomorrow also I do not mind," he chirped without thinking long. 


"Didih, what do you think of people's children, anyway?" I asked a little upset. 


"Whatever that's called. As long as you're my wife, no problem." 


As I was about to answer his increasingly slurred speech, suddenly my phone rang. Soon I picked up the flat object and found Farid's number calling. Don't want any misunderstanding I've received a call from him. 


"Hallo," I said briefly. 


"Again what, Yang?" ask Farid. 


"Again on the beach" I answered briefly. "What's wrong?" ask me in a cold tone. I was upset with him, he was my lover but never there when I needed him. 


"Oh, who's the same?" He threw the question back. 


"My Brother's Same. Just first, yeah. Again do not want to be disturbed," concluded I who immediately ended the call. 


"Well, right. Just dated it cold. What if you are married, continue to have children? Can't imagine" said the man beside me. 


"Not to interfere, huh! Males really talked about him again," I said ketus, he just put his shoulder. 


My mind is starting to agree with what he said. Either I'm starting to wake up now, or because he's managed to doctrine my mind to agree with him. Clearly, ever since I knew him, I started to forget Farid. 


The mood is now quieter. There is only a sound that comes from the pounding of the waves that hit the beach, as well as the sound of the breeze getting louder. 


The place is also getting dark. There's only lighting from a few lights back there. The beach is usually so crowded, this time it is quiet with no one but the two of us. Either this happens thanks to God's destiny, or he's the one who's planning. 


"Udah is getting night, Shay. Wanna go home?" He offered to leave this place immediately. 


I'm starting to gamang, actually I'm still comfortable in this place. However, the late night left me with no other choice. 


"Yes, come home!" ask me to agree to his offer. 


"Jude, come on!" He got up, then stretched out his hand to help me get up. 


"You want to go home, or stop by for a meal?" tanyanya, while wearing her helmet "I'm really laper from lunch has not eaten," he continued, then felt the flat stomach. 


"Feed it, you can!" 


"Okay," he answered briefly, then immediately rode his motorcycle. 


We also passed from there. Like the deal, we stopped by the diner first. A roadside stall with a blue cart, inscribed with chicken noodles. 


"You like chicken noodles, don't you?" tanyanya after putting her motorbike next to the stall. 


"Like," I replied briefly.


"If I?" ambiguity question. 


"Why you?" ask me to come back with my eyes squeaking. 


"Don't you like me?"


"No!" my answer is short, solid, and very clear. 


"But! Really honest. Pretending to be okay?" 


I heard her lips nag, maybe she's really upset with my honesty right now. I didn't like him, but somehow my heart started to feel comfortable with him. 


He also swung a step to get into the chicken noodle shop that we visited. I keep following behind with twitching lips. It's funny he's still nagging even though we've been sitting in the chair facing. 


The seller approached us to ask for our order. He answered before I answered first. 


"Two chicken noodles eat here, of which three are wrapped. Drinking only two, esteh" he said which made me confused. 


"Well, wait a minute" replied the seller kindly. 


"Sir, I'm sorry, but there are also two glasses of water" I asked the seller. 


"By, Ma'am. A moment, yes," the seller concluded and returned to his trading cart. 


As soon as the seller was busy making our order, I looked closely at this man in front of me. I saw that he was a little misbehaved because of my gaze. 


"Why?" ask her with a nervous tone. 


"Why are you? What do you pack three chicken noodles for? Is it true that eating here is not full?" I asked a lot of questions. 


"That's for your family, yes. Mother, Father, same Masmu earlier," he replied, now his voice has returned to normal as usual. 


"Well, why buy them? I don't want you to be extravagant just to look good in their eyes" I said. 


"Yes, I'm not that poor until I can't buy your family souvenirs. Anyway, how much, anyway, is chicken noodles worth? I'm not gonna drain my wallet, either!" 


"But it will become a habit. Every time we go out, they wait for him, brother!" Unknowingly, I actually called him Big Brother.
