THORNS IN MARRIAGE
CHAPTER 33 - NIGHT WITHOUT JORDAN CHATTAN
At twelve o'clock we just got to CV JAVA FOOD HARVEST factory.
For some reason, usually when traveling, the time to go home is faster than leaving. But this is the opposite.
Yesterday night the distance to Banten was only about five hours. Now when you go home it takes seven hours plus half an hour for dinner and Isya prayers on the road.
Could it be because of my thoughts and feelings as well as Boss Gege's floating? I don't know...
"Thank you very much, Boss!" I said in a raucous and somewhat hoarse voice.
"Together! Go sleep. Rest in the room. May we be much better tomorrow morning!"
I smiled while nodding. Boss Gege also looked very tired. It makes me feel more guilty.
"Don't give me such a sad face, Liana! I'm tired, but not because of you. It's pure exhaustion because of the long journey alone. But my heart was happy, my body was light and my head was also free from the migraine I had felt for the past three years!"
"May the Boss tonight sleep well!" my prayer with eyes staring at her net bead.
"Call me 'Mas', Lian! Like the first time we met at a new restaurant near that terminal!"
I'm stunned. Boss Gege's face approached. His wide hands gently rubbed the tops of my head.
"Good night, Liana! Have anice dream. Happy resting!"
"Good night, Jonathan! Happy resting!"
I entered my room and my Boss helped me close the door and passed away.
The one behind the door was just staring blankly.
I felt really tired, confused too. Now I pinched my skin from slow to hard, until I screamed softly. Worry sounded out.
This is not a dream! It's real! Boss Gege has any intention of proposing to me? Aaaa...
My heart was screaming hysterically.
Either happy, or sad.
It's all still grey to me.
It's like a dream, but not a dream. Like a joke, but the boss is not joking. And that made me believe it even more, the boss immediately asked Wak Hardi. My guardian after Papa's gone.
Pardon me! A thousand sorry, Lord! Last month I fell, fell and fell until I often complained and even blamed me for this situation. Even I almost wanted to kill myself if my faith wasn't strong.
But now.., this strange magical bin. It's insanity. Even this is out of my mind. Very, very strange and hard to believe. Boss... Wanna marry me. We have only known one week. How can love be so fast? Or the... Is this any witchcraft or anything because I am the daughter of the descendants of the famous Banten elders about soan?
"Haish!"
I pat my forehead which is a bit dizzy because of two nights of lack of sleep, lack of rest.
But suddenly I thought as if someone was reading a piece of sacred verse that sounded,
"Innamaa amruhu idzaa arooda syaian ayyaquula lahu kun fayakuun"
Means : Verily His business when he wills something He only says to him 'be it' Then be it (QS. Yasin verse 82)
I realized how powerful God's power was. No one can match. Immediately I cried sobbing to feel the goodness of God in me.
My life was dangling after Irsyad opened up his own crime of cheating on me.
My sister Genta also can not help me in financial matters especially household. We are adrift like little twigs in the middle of a vast ocean.
But I am always sure, the wrong is still wrong and the right is still right. God must show us the way, despite the weight of the ordeal.
I'm breaking down after shredding my phone in the switch plug.
For some reason, the face of innocent Jordan. We haven't been in chattan for two nights. It felt like I was missing too and felt like something was empty when I was alone.
Jordan must have said a lot of words. He must have been very anxious and worried about my situation especially after reading the message I sent early this morning saying that my father had died.
I really dropped the battery. So I decided to open it tomorrow morning only, after the dawn prayer.
Sleep is the best thing right now. I need to rest. To keep my brain cool and my heart able to accept whatever it is God's provision.
Jordan, good night! I'm sorry, not accompanying you as usual because of my circumstances. Hope you understand, man!
