Waiting for First Love to Return
Fhoto Frame

Marta according. Aided by his brother-in-law to prepare the food he had cooked.

"Whose man is he?" Ask Brother Ina on the sidelines of his busy life.

"The city people." Marta was proud. Who wouldn't be proud to have a boyfriend like Johan? I'm rich, handsome, sholeh again. Although sometimes very indifferent, but there are times when the attention is excessive.

"It looks rich huh? The car's a mantab." Guess Brother Ina who answered a strong nod by Marta.

The car parked in front of that makes Ina and her husband come directly to the house. Wonder who is visiting.

"Your wealth is good, but most importantly it is faithful. Understand where and where his wealth will be taken. Not just collecting property, but forgetting the rights and obligations as a Muslim. Many people are rich, but less loyal to women. Prefer foya-foya." Brother Ina advised.

"God willing, brother. Although I don't know very well about her life, I'm sure she's a good person. Sholeh him brother. And I'm sure I'm loyal too."

"It's good that way."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Yes, he was called to eat together. Bang Bagas hasn't had lunch yet to know." Brother Ina's orders.

"Walking out to eat at home. Why not just go outside?" Cibir Marta, but still obedient to call guests.

"Jajan napkin? I have so much food like this." Answer Brother Ina relax. Though it is again economical, because her husband is not yet payday time.

Martha called to invite her guests and brother to eat. There is no rejection. Even though Johan and Abah had eaten, they were told to eat again. It has started the afternoon. It's approaching the real time.

Johan seemed to pay attention to the tivi room which displayed many photos. In the guest room, there are no photos at all.

Marta approaches as Johan pauses to look at the childhood photos of Marta and her family. Photos taken while his mother was still there. While abah and bang Bagas are still walking while coolly telling their own stories.

"It's me when I was SD. Still cute, right?" Said Marta approaching, and pointed a picture of herself at the picture framed on the wall. Johan only saw Marta, then his attention returned to the photo again.

"This photo was taken two months before Ummi left." Marta added to save the sadness of remembering the mother, but still forced a smile to strengthen herself. Not unwillingly. Nor did the umminya go first. It's just that sometimes longing comes uninvited, which makes the heart sad when remembering it.

"I used to stay the same, right? Keep it cute and sweet, also clothes are tomboyish. So don't make me change." Marta laughed at the picture of herself as a child. "But I promise you, you'll learn to be feminine like a sister." Said Marta again who stood side by side with Johan, and eyes stared at the same photo.

"Sister?" Johan muttered. Because the focus of Johan is not a picture of Marta when she was a child, but a teenage girl who was smiling broadly standing next to her.

"Yes. This is my sister who got married a few months ago. And this time he didn't get to be here. He has many orders, he said. After marriage, she opened a cake business. Plus now she's pregnant young, so take care of her health and condition a little." It was clearly Marta who made Johan gawk in disbelief. Surprised by Marta's explanation.

"This is your brother? And he's actually married? And she's pregnant?" Johan was a little jolted to know that fact.

Johan remembered very well with the face of the teenager who was photographed. It was the same face as the photo of the teenager who had always been in David's office desk, as well as the photo of the teenager who filled his cousin's room. And that's the guy David wanted to meet by the lake.

Turns out he's married? How would David react if he knew this? He must be very disappointed. Inner Johan thought about the fate of his cousin's sister's romance.

"Yes. He's already married. It's a wedding photo." Answer Marta and point at the frame next to her. Johan followed Marta's index. But the face of the bride in the photo is not very recognizable by Johan. The bride photographed was an adult, also polished makeup. Looked sad and smiled forcedly. When teenagers are cute and natural. No makeup at all. With a big smile and no burden.

"So. My unmarried son lives. And God willing, I will be finished. We will just get married. I wish I could marry happily, the man I love. Without a burden like this brother. " Hope Marta, and it seems sad to say the end of her sentence.

"What's he doing?" Ask Johan curiously. "What burden does he have?"

"Ah, the story is long. " Marta answered, not wanting to talk about her brother.

"David?" Marta asked who was answered with a nod of the head by Johan. Martha remembered the name. The name Johan called his cousin's brother was similar to Arfan's brother. Even David was the first name of Kak Arfan.

"Eitherway. But what I believe is now that Tasya is happy. She is now pregnant . Do you have love in your marriage? Sometimes love can be defeated by the one who is always there." Marta was full of confidence.

"Is that really so?"

"I'm sure so."

"Did your family know David's brother?"

"That's very familiar. He used to come here a lot. But now it looks like brother Arfan has forgotten about us. He looks foreign now."

He didn't mean to forget. But I forgot the memory. Inner Johan.

"Keep, your family knows you're still David's brother? Or Arfan?"

"I never told you about the same thing." Honest Marta.

Johan seemed to think and nodded slowly. Then hush. They were still standing looking at the wall which was displayed some photos in silence. Busy with their own thoughts.

Johan thinks of the fate of his cousin's sister's romance, who hopes a lot for her first love. Only now Johan saw his brother David the spirit of pursuing love, and it appears his own smiles see the photos that he actually had long ago. Johan also hopes that his cousin finally finds happiness after a long time choosing himself, and focus on work. Johan is happy to see David finally coming back to life after finding the woman he was looking for. But this reality?

While Marta smiled faintly reminiscing about the stories immortalized in the frame. Ummi remembered. Mi, adek bring girlfriend adek lo. If ummi still exists, ummi would be happy to get acquainted with the man of choice adek. She's good, mi. He is also sholeh. His name is Johan, mi. Next time before marriage, adek must invite him to pilgrimage kemakam ummi. Marta said in her heart. And wipe his glazed eyes in view of the warmth of ummi's affection.

"Johann, Martha. Let's eat." Call the following bang Bagas. It may be too long to wait for the two of them to arrive.

"Eh, yes bang." Martha said to her brother who was behind her.

"You why? Silently-dwelling see the photo?" Tanya Bang Bagas walked over. And followed by looking at the photos he had memorized. But Johan and Marta had turned around ready to go to the dining table.

"Can't wait to wear a wedding dress?" Ledek bang Bagas who saw the existing picture .

"What the hell is bang? Ayok eat. Says you haven't had lunch?" Martha ignored her brother's words. Johan smiled in response.

"That's why I finished college. " Bang Bagas still did not stop flirting, also walked in the middle of separating the scene with Johan.

"What the hell is this? How did you say that anyway? What was Johan talking about?" Looking at the changes to the two men who were next to him.

"Your eyes can't lie." Replied Bang Bagas, while Johan just shrugged his shoulders do not know knowing. did not feel explain anything to Abah and Abang Marta.
