44. One more Puzzle of Life

Life is a choice

I have accepted him

choose from two people with

offering the existing asa

Do I have to hang on to this choice

following the heart

or switch to another option

following rational thoughts and desires

*******

After the meal we chose to continue together by visiting the beach that is not too far from the seafood stalls. Continuing the conversation about the Bian family.

"Papa still insisted I marry Tasya because this marriage would strengthen my position and mama is in the Danny Anugrah family."

We walked along the beach enjoying the conversation with the wind and the occasional touch of the waves coming towards our bare feet.

"If your father were acting like that. What about your mama?"

"Mama wants me to be happy in my own way. He left all the decisions to me." The beach breeze playing Bian's haircut creates a swish in my heart.

"Who asked for this match, Bian?".

"Tasya, Dia menyukai ku. Seorang gadis yang diperlakukan seperti tuan putri sedari kecil. Dia masih keluarga kakek Danny Anugrah. Gadis yang terbiasa mendapatkan apa yang dia mau. Dia sebenarnya baik tapi tidak sudi mendapat penolakan"

Ada nyeri di hati ku mendengar penuturan Bian. Cemburu kah ini?. Bian bukan cucu kandung Danny Anugrah berbeda dengan kakak kembarnya yang mamanya merupakan putri dari Danny Anugrah. Hal ini lah yang mendorong papa Bian meminta dia menerima Tasya.

Aku menyimpulkan papanya menginginkan Bian diterima dalam keluarga besar Danny Anugrah. Berarti selama ini mereka belum terlalu dianggap sebagai keluarga besar. Apakah benar dugaan ku ini? Aku ingin bertanya tapi terasa sungkan.

"Dulu saat aku kecil selalu menjadi pertanyaan kenapa Kak Danar dan Diandra sangat disayang kakek dan nenek. Mereka sering menghabiskan liburan dan berjalan bersama tapi sejak aku tahu siapa wanita di foto keluarga kakek dan nenek. Aku tahu mereka cucu kandung dan aku bukan."

"Bagaimana dengan keluarga mamamu."

"Aku dekat dengan keluarga mamaku. Kakek nenek pihak mama berasal dari kota ini. Ruko di jalan sudirman dulunya tanah kakek nenek yang diwariskan ke mama lalu oleh papa dibuatkan ruko . Masa kecil ku ketika liburan sekolah sering dihabiskan di kota ini."

"Sekarang tinggal dimana kakek nenek dari mama mu?".

"Saat aku SMA, Nenek, kakek dan kakak mama meninggal karena kecelakaan mobil. sejak mereka meninggal aku jarang kembali ke sini. Ketika papa dan kak Danar membuka usaha di sini. Aku bisa kembali lagi dan bertemu perempuan yang ku sukai."

"sorry"

"Hide sincerely unconditionally." I repeated Bian's final words.

"Yes is inversely proportional to the family of Danny Anugrah's grandfather. Unknowingly the matchmaking they arranged hurt my heart and mama. As if a condition for me and my mom to be fully accepted into their extended family."

Bian stopped his steps and looked at me. His eyes looked hurt. Of course his mother's marriage was 27 years. Caring for Danar and Diandra the son of his first husband and wife, Laura's daughter Danny Anugrah. Living side by side for 27 years but not yet fully considered a family.

"They're afraid that if they think of us as Danny Anugrah's family then there's a treasure that will fall on me. That's why I don't want to join my grandfather's company but manage the purest business of my parents' wedding treasure."

"Complicated"

"Papa remains the birth father of Danar and Diandra. Our family fortune also belongs to twin sisters. I finally decided to flee to this city. Building his own business and refusing an arranged marriage with Tasya."

"But Danar is following you." I remembered the same Danar who was in this city.

"I've said many times he's a protective brother". Danar laughed a little like me.

"The silly little brother Danar should be worried about is he who is still single at the age of three heads."

"Sister Danar is mostly having fun. Her boyfriend I used to love when I found out I wasn't Danny Anugrah's real granddaughter. Refusing me outright he chose to approach Kak Danar."

"She's so pretty" I can't hide the insecure feelings with the woman Bian once dreamed of.

"But you're awesome, baby. You're tough, funny and fun."

"Wait.. Wait for. Funny?"

"Yes, you're very interesting, honey. I will defend you, Maharani Orchid but can you hold out for me?"

Bian tidied up my hair that was blown by the wind made my heart beat fast. He is the one who draws my heart but once again I must endure the obstacles of life.

"I'll try, Bian." I finally put out a word that really represents this feeling. I'll try to hold on.

"Thank you Maharani Orchid for the opportunity you gave. I know you're the great woman I chose, I love you."

I'll try to survive at least one piece of the puzzle has gained clarity. I have to face the other pieces again.

The sky on the beach started to turn orange. The wind started to subside and I knew once again my love life had to be tested.

One day passed again with his own story.
