THORNS IN MARRIAGE
CHAPTER 67 - MAKING CHOICES

"My intention here is to ask again the seriousness of Jonathan proposing to Liana. Like two months ago, I told you I'd come here for your relationship!"

All quiet. Everyone listened to Wak Hardi's words that were so charismatic.

"Sir...!"

"Liana. I wanted to ask Jonathan first. Is his intention still as big as two months ago, or has it changed over time?"

I can only swallow saliva.

Wak Hardi cannot be denied the firmness of charisma. And I saw Jonathan also sitting quietly a sign he had everything ready.

"My heart, it's still like the beginning, Wak! L am... Likes Liana. Everything was. Personality and its properties. All Jonathan admires."

I'm downcast embarrassed.

I don't really care about Jordan's feelings anymore. I'm sure, my feelings this time are somewhat protected Wak Hardi as an intermediary. Wak can certainly find a way out of our problems from this love triangle.

And who gave up. I don't know. Or maybe, back off both. Wallahus.

I believe, if the soul mate is not going anywhere. For it is in the hands of the Almighty God.

"Geezer! I'm Jordan Ardian. I'm Gege's brother Jonathan. Although we are different father, but my love for him should not be doubted. I am also a friend of Liana Elementary School. And I.love Liana. I love him, Wak! No more no less."

"You mean, you too..have the same feeling as your brother Jordan, young man?"

I gasped when Wak asked me something serious. But Jordan nodded clearly.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Do you know that your brother applied to me in the village two months ago? When Liana's father died?"

"Sir, in this case Liana is wrong! Liana is guilty. Neither Jordan nor Mas Jonathan knew of it. Liana covered it up from them!" as defending the two brothers who are so gentle tell the truth to Wak Hardi.

Of course I'm ashamed of myself. Especially here I'm the culprit. Until this chaotic triangle relationship occurs.

"Hhh... Good. Wak could already see the red thread. Now Wak asks, was Jonathan disappointed by Liana's behavior? Subjectly...Liana has done no good by being in a relationship with your sister too!"

"It's not just Liana here who's guilty, Wak! Me also. I know, Liana lives and works in our factory. But I covered myself up if I was Gege's brother Jonathan! I'm contributing to Liana's mistake!"

"So what now? You three have to decide, and how it ends! Have there been any more talks before?"

I'm down. Merem*s-rem*s my fingers are cold because my heart is pounding incoherently.

"We... Waiting for Liana's decision, Wak!"

I can't lift my face. I'm shy and scared.

"Liana! A young woman should not be widowed for too long. Wh why? Because he is worried about his condition that can cause world slander. If you get married soon after the end of the iddah period, there will be men who guard and protect you from such things! Do you understand what Wak means?"

"Yes, Wak!"

I examined every sentence after sentence Wak Hardi said. All true, all true. I really need to end this. With my pure feelings from the heart, who do I choose.

"Sir...!"

"Who did you make the choice? Jonathan or Jordan?"

Wak Hardi's stern question made me bow.

"Even if God gives us trials in the household, even to the point of breaking your heart, dreams and love yesterday, it does not mean that your character and habits must be changed, Liana! You must think you are innocent, honest and loyal to your husband. So you're labeling all the men in the world the same average, so you can easily play with men's feelings. Is that so?"

"Genta once advised Liana like that, Wak!" sela Genta makes me drown my face even more in bending.

"No, Wak! It wasn't Liana's intention to be that kind of woman. By Allah for the sake of Rosulullah, Liana swore. It's not..."

I started to sob, even though my head was still down.

"Jordan, is a friend of Liana Elementary School. We met again because of Liana's encounter with the kind-hearted Mama Tiur. In the past.., as a child Liana is a cheerful person who likes to talk bluntly as is. Frequent bully and body shaming Jordan. Reuniting after 20 years, it turns out Liana's bad luck is her karma may be. Liana who is fat, round even being a woman who was dumped by her husband for having an affair. Liana was embarrassed. Not feeling good and wanting to change yourself by being a good friend. Lianas... Always trying to be there for Jordan! But it turns out destiny brought Liana to meet the boss Gege Jordan. He was a good person who helped and brought Liana and Genta to this house. To work in his factory. Strange events keep us close. Even closer when the boss thinks Liana is the bearer of company fortune. We got along with each other because please help each other. Boss Jonathan introduces Liana a new world, the factory gets a contract of cooperation. We were both getting closer until when Papa died, Boss drove us to Kampung Page Papa. It's all getting real. However, Liana has not answered Jordan and Boss Jonathan's marriage invitation. No one answered Liana, Wak!"

"Now...., what's your answer?"

I swallowed the saliva. Sighing for a short breath while looking at Jonathan.

"Mas Jo...! Ms. Bianca is now divorced from Mr. Jacky. What...mas still has feelings for her? This is my chance. Bianca is now a widow!" I said to Jonathan.

But the grown man just shook his head.

"That's just a story of the past, Liana! My story and Bianca's, it's been a long time. No more hope of being together."

"But..., Mas love him khan?" ask shy. But I must know his heart.

"Here, yeah. Ever since we cut off the relationship, there's nothing left, Liana! Why ask that? Are you afraid I'm still harboring more feelings for Bianca?"

I didn't answer. Just down. Long-silent.

"Jordan..."

"Yes, Liana!"

"I'm sorry. I used to be mean to you. Maybe even to this day still doing evil to you!"

"You've said an apology so many times, Liana! Never mind. It was just a normal child's delinquency! I've forgotten the past too!" jordan answered making me sigh again.

"Jordan, I'm sorry. L'm... I want to receive your brother's proposal! Hik hik hicks...! Don't get me wrong, Jordan! Don't hate me! I accept it not because he is more established and more everything than you. No, Jordan! But I feel like Jonathan knows me better lately. He knows me. Everything was. Background of my life. My favorite in the past. Jo even knows what I am. But that doesn't mean you're no better, Jordan. Nah! You are a very sweet friend. We're in chattan every night. We're close and familiar until the video callan. But.., i, I,... I now choose Mas Jonathan to be my companion! Hik hik hicks..."

I am so scared of my words. But I have to be honest with my own feelings and also my growing guilt if I don't make a decision.

I dare not look at Jordan's face. Just looking down with tears streaming down her cheeks.
