The Wedding
4. The Invitation

I looked at the face of Fariq who was busy driving. Today he looks very handsome, right.he is always handsome and always cheerful as usual if he met me. The song Perfect by Ed Sheeran was heard in Fariq's black X-Trail. Sometimes I sing with Ed Sheeran.

"Darling, tomorrow we'll see you?" my many.

"Yes so, baby" he answered, still focused on driving.

I nodded my head, then I clasped his hand and he responded to my hand, his grip warm.

"It's a real pleasure to you, Fariq" I said with a smile.

"I love you too, and I don't want to lose you. I'm sorry that I often make you sad" Fariq said as he stroked my hair.

"Oh, I'm happy with you" I said gently and stroked Fariq's left cheek.

My phone rang, an hour passed after Fariq drove me home, but now he's been texting me.

From : Fariq

Honey, I can't go see tomorrow, I have to go out of town with Abah. We'll watch it after I get home from out of town. So sorry, dear.

I pouted in annoyance. He's been a couple of times trying to make his way with me. But yes I'm okay.

To : Fariq

Okay, no problem. How long did it go?

From : Fariq

About four days. Don't pout so dear dong:)

As if he knew my expression at this moment, I smiled in embarrassment.

To : Fariq

From : Fariq

Yes, my dear, love you too ♥

Although Fariq and I did not meet every day, I never felt lonely. He always texted me and called me every night. I know he loves me too. That's what kept me going and always optimistic that we could get married one day.

It's been the last two weeks after Fariq contacted me, he's gone like he's been swallowed up by the earth. No news at all, last he just gave me the news that he was going out of town. I started to get anxious, because she was never absent to give me news during my dating. No matter how busy he takes the time to tell me. I sent dozens of short messages to Fariq, none of which he answered.

Has he been married by his parents? Or maybe he found something else? Was he hurt when he went out of town? Or what? I wondered in my heart.

I keep calling Fariq. Three weeks later, there was no news from him.

To : Fariq

Where have you been, darling? No news at all. Are you all right?

It was one of my messages from the hundreds of messages I sent. I was silent, as though desperate to wait for news from him.

Suddenly my phone rang an incoming message. My face is very happy because of the name Fariq listed on my phone. But when I read the message, my happy face disappeared instantly.

From : Fariq

Daisy, I'm sorry. We just break up. My parents know our relationship, they're furious. I can't do anything about it. I promised them not to see you again, not even to communicate with you anymore. I'm sorry, Daisy. Excuse me.

My hands were shaking, my tears were already rushing down my cheeks. I don't know what to do or say right now. This is what I was afraid of, it finally happened. Fariq's parents knew of our relationship and in the end Fariq left me. I don't accept. I'm not sincere.

Finally my tears broke, it hurt so much. Really sick. It felt like the happiness I had been feeling with him, collapsed in an instant.
