The Shadow Of Love

The Shadow Of Love
Followed me


My guess is true. Again I get a bad attitude from my beloved mother. More and more days, it seems that the old woman is no longer reluctant to say something painful to her own child's lover. 


Even though my heart felt tight and poignant, I was still trying to strengthen myself. This time I'm more convinced to let Farid go. Maybe we are not fools. 


"Mom take it easy, Mom. Tasya is still High School and Tasya is the last child. There are still some unmarried women and girls. So, I can't possibly step over them," I replied without the slightest trepidation. 


"It's good that it is. I don't disagree, but to marry you is still too young" he said. Maybe he's starting to realize that what he said is hurting people's children.


"Tasya here also just stopped by, really! Now I want to go home because I have to work too" I said, trying to smile, even though my heart really hurt. 


"Wait for Farid first?" tanyanya, now her attitude changed. 


"No, Ma. Tasya has asked to pick me up, Mas" I replied lying. 


"Oh, yes, I have. Just where's your masmu?" ask again. 


"My mom's waiting there, Mom. Tasya saying goodbye first," I concluded deciding to leave there without waiting for Farid. 


After saying goodbye I immediately came out, then hurriedly put on shoes to quickly leave this house without being caught by Farid. The old woman was still looking at me with an unpredictable expression. But I'm sure, there's not the slightest bit of regret in him for being so bad to me.


I rushed out of there. Not wanting Farid to catch up to me, I decided to go the opposite way to the road we were on. I ran through a row of houses in the village. Until when I reached the rice field, I fell because my legs were very tired. 


As I cried, suddenly there was a hand stalling before my eyes. I looked up to see who the owner of the hand was. 


"Sister!" I cried when I saw the sturdy body of Risqi Brother standing before me. 


Because I never received his hand, Risqi finally knelt down. Holding both arms, then helping me to stand up. 


Now, we are meeting each other. Without further ado he grabbed my side body so tightly. He even rubbed my back to calm me from the crying. 


"Dec, I know you're sad. But can you hold the cry first?" asked Risqi, who I thought was only trying to tease me, but when I let go of the embrace and looked at her face, there was no joke from her. "It's not good if it's crying in the middle of the gini rice field. Later on I think brother who knows you, what else we are in the village people," he continued that now makes me realize. 


I who do not want to make a sound prefer to answer with a nod. Risqi's sister directly took me to her motorbike. He got on, then started his motor. After that, I went up to the door. 


"Handle, Deck. Brother is afraid that you might faint on the street," he said, looking worried for me. 


At least my mouth wasn't open. But I kept obeying his orders. I hugged her waist tightly, then the motor drove off after Risqi made sure I was safely seated behind her. 


During the trip I was silent. Actually I really want to bring out all the feelings in my heart. However, I knew, if I told her that, I would cry. Our position is still on the road. 


"Sister followed me, huh?" ask me after successfully mastering myself from sadness.
