The Thorny Journey
Tastelessness

Yana further keeps her distance from her lover Badaruddin, Yana does not want to be disappointed one day what else with the rejection from Badaruddin's own parents.

Badaruddin who knew with the changes Yana tried to make their situation as usual, Badaruddin still sent a message to Yana even though it was slow to reply, unlike before Badaruddin's message was what Yana was waiting for every day.

"Yana Assalamualaikum?" greeting Badaruddin via message on the blue app. Where they could spend hours replying to each other's messages.

Today no longer, Badaruddin's message was not immediately reply, even the blue application account owned by Yana was not active.

After waiting for a few minutes there was also no answer, Badaruddin finally stopped hoping and returned to his usual work activities.

Yana who already knows every hour of rest will send a message, this certainly makes Yana sad, Yana deliberately closed her blue application to avoid contact with Badaruddin.

About Badaruddin had worked back Yana reactivated the blue application, sure Badaruddin sent him a message, but Yana did not intend to reply.

At night Yana closed her Abahan stall which had become Yana's responsibility, with the help of her son Azham, Yana's work felt fast and easy to close.

"Umi...do we need to shop tomorrow, our goods are exhausted a lot?" asked Azham who had seen a lot of their stock was up.

"Yes Azham, tomorrow Umi wrote the goods, now Umi is too tired, after all it is too late, we better go home." said Yana while cleaning the stall clean.

The distance between the house and the store is not too far, they can walk if they go home Abah, now Abah Yana is often sickly due to the influence of age that has not been young again.

Once at home, Yana's smart device in her bag immediately rang great, like knowing that Yana had reached home.

Yana reaches for the smart device, it turns out that the caller says 'Abang Bada' Yana has no other way but to answer the call.

Yana swiped the green button to the top of the screen.

'Assalamualaikum Brother?' yana replied as soon as the call connected directly.

'Waalaikum salam Yana.' said Badaruddin who smiled as soon as his call was raised.

'You why did you not reply to Brother's message earlier?' Badaruddin continued to hit the question on Yana who was still exhausted after returning from her shop.

Yana continued to look for reasons so that Badaruddin did not feel hurt by the answer that Yana would give.

'So much work Brother, many goods in the store that run out so ngak had time to reply a message from Abang earlier.' Yana deliberately took the excuse that her son said earlier.

'But after Brother entered work again you are active right?' ask Badaruddin again.

'Yes.' sahut Yana brief. 'And you can reply to the message of Abang earlier.' said Badaruddin with a face that had turned sad, Yana could not see the face of Badaruddin but Yana knew her lover was sad by listening to his voice.

'I thought it was useless also I reply, right Brother has entered work, already not discussed again yes, now we're talking about this, it's more than enough.' Yana deliberately made Badaruddin not be discouraged by his cold attitude now.

Yana will make Badaruddin distance himself from him little by little, Yana does not want Badaruddin to be a child who is ungodly, before Yana knew Badaruddin was a child who was very obedient to the orders of his parents.

'Iya Abang.' said Yana flat.

In Yana's heart it can be concluded that Yana no longer want to continue their relationship, Yana will find her own life path for her life, for her Badaruddin will be a memory that was ever present in her life.

The phone line is cut off, Yana dissolves with her own thoughts while Badaruddin continues to find a way so that her parents can accept Yana as his daughter-in-law, clearly Badaruddin did not return to the village as they had planned before.

By the morning Yana began to prepare to go to the Abah stall, before leaving for the store Yana will prepare her children first, they will go to school, before Abah Yana who sent, he said, ever since Abah's health declined Yana took over sending her own son to school.

Just up to the door of the store suddenly the smart tool Yana reads, indicating there is a message that entered in the smart device.

Yana just glanced at a glance, there was a message from someone who Yana did not know, but Yana ignored it first, the plan Yana will reply after the shop du open.

'Do I know you?' reply Yana on incoming message.

The message was read in a short letter.

'Hi!' that's all Yana read.

Without waiting for a long time the message is immediately replied again by the sender.

'You don't know me, but I know who you are and where you are now.' he said.

'If you know where I am, where do you know me?' yana Reply

'That's my secret, will remain my secret.' replied the sender again who Yana thought was a man.

Furthermore, Yana no longer responds to the man who kept her identity secret, Yana deletes the message earlier.

Yana's relationship with Badaruddin increasingly bland, there is no sign Badaruddin will get the blessing of his parents, that Yana concluded with the attitude of Badaruddin who was indifferent to their relationship.

Badaruddin only asked Yana to be more patient again waiting for the blessing of her parents, and Badaruddin promised to keep his promise to Yana, namely Badaruddin will still marry Yana no matter what happens.

Another with Yana's communication with the sender of a message that is already known named Munzir, Munzir is a close friend of Badaruddin himself, they sleep in the room even sometimes as hard as possible, Badaruddin did not know between his friend and his lover intertwined a good communication between the two.

'So you're a widow, aren't you?' ask Munzir to Yana.

They communicate every day through messages, Munzir never called Yana and vice versa, they are only limited to sending messages.

'Yes.I am a widow of two children, my children are both boys.' continued Yana again on her message.

'What is the reason that Badaruddin's parents did not approve of your relationship?' Yana gawked at the message Munzir had sent.

"It turns out that many people know that Abang Badaruddin's parents do not like me" inward Yana herself.
