When Destiny Chose Me
Of the will
"Mhc. I asked for this dress, yes, this dress is very beautiful. Fitting in the body of my future daughter-in-law. Try to see, My daughter-in-law looks very perfect, no" said Mama Sinta while continuing to look at me.
I just smiled wryly. Between happiness or not. I'm going to marry a man I don't love at all. And worse, that man is the brother of an ex-lover who until now was still so loved.
Soon enough, Mama Lina who probably understood the expression immediately walked towards me. Whispering something that makes me have to take a slow breath.
Don't just smile wryly like that. You have to look very happy. Remember your father's life and death are in your hands. So, obey what I ask
Those words were of course instantly able to make both of my eyes feel extremely hot. How not, the father he always made bait to threaten me. Threatening what he always wanted.
Honestly, I feel like I'm really tired of all this drama, but inevitably I have to be strong, strong for my father and also my college which is still in the middle of the road.
"Yes, Ma. Mama take it easy, Ale will do what mama asked" I replied slowly and could only be heard by mama.
"What's jeng? " ask mama Sinta to mama Lina.
"Oh no jeng. I just confirmed Ale's hair" he replied and sat down on the sofa there.
Not long after, Brother Alkan who had just been changed in a white suit came out of the next room, Both my eyes were amazed to see him who did look very handsome, he said, He's even more handsome than Kenzo's brother. Unfortunately, he had to lose his sight for reasons I still don't know.
"God willing, he is not only handsome, but very handsome.He may have been a perfect man who was the target of all women" my inner being continued to stare at Alkana
After that, Mama took my hand and asked me to stand closer to Alkan's sister"Geez, you guys fit in so well. Very cool" said Mama Sinta with a smile.
"Yes loh jeng, Alena is very compatible with Alkan" said mama Lina who also commented
"Yes dong jeng. Alena is indeed fit to be Alkan's companion. One is handsome, the other is beautiful" exclaimed mama Sinta again.
Without me knowing, it turns out that there has been more than an hour in the boutique trying some dresses and kebaya to be used during the ijab qobul event. I don't know what kind of party Sinta's mom had planned, but when she saw the dress and kebaya she bought, made me conclude for sure the party will be very festive. Sultan is free.
"Ma, I didn't go home right away, Alena still wanted to see my father for a while" I said deliberately in front of Sinta's mother. Because I know that I said when there was no Sinta mom, it could be that Lina's mom would forbid me to visit dad, For the reason that I have to finish the homework that I didn't have time to do this morning.
"Yes can be dear, Mama immediately went home yes" replied the mother who sounded very sweet.
Though I know why he said so sweetly, It must be because at this time there is mama Sinta among us. Gosh, honey, there's a wind what my stepmom speaks so softly.
Hearing that made me clench my hands tightly. So all this time Mama Lina told her friends that her husband was dead. It's the same as saying my dad's gone.
I want to feel like I'm counting on Mama Lina, but I'm still trying to hold all this down for dad's sake, for the sake of the only parent I still have.
"We'll see what I can do, Ma. After I came to my senses, Ale made sure that mom and sister Larisa would feel what you've been doing to me all this time" my mind as I stared in another direction.
Because Mama Lina gave me permission, with wide strides I immediately got out of the boutique, before Mama Lina changed her mind.
I ordered an ojek online as usual, because indeed the money I have is not enough for the cost to the hospital and also the cost of going home. It didn't take long, the motorcycle taxi driver came.
"According to the application sir" I said while installing a helmet.
"Ready neng"
This afternoon the road is not too jammed. So that my path to the hospital can be said smooth without any obstacles. It's been a week since I've been looking at my dad, the last time was when I had to end up not eating for two days because I had challenged what my mom had forbidden.
Remembering that made me put a lot of hate on Lina's mom and Larisa's sister. The figure that used to be so good instantly turned evil just because of the treasure.
20 Minutes later, I've arrived at GAJAH MADA hospital. One of the biggest hospitals in my place. I entered the hospital with quite wide steps, with the aim to reach my father's room on the second floor immediately.
After arriving there, I stared at the face of the father who was still faithful close his eyes tightly. I sat down and held my father's hand tightly.
"Dad, be aware. Ale needs dad a lot, Ale please wake up for Ale's sake. Ale is lonely, Ale is tormented" I said as I continued to look at father and clasped his hands.
Seeing the father's condition like that made my chest feel very tight, as if the oxygen supply was very difficult to just enter and penetrate the ronggaku.
The shadow of the past when I could still feel the affection of my father and mother just passing by, I really missed those moments. A time when my life felt so perfect. Like there's no gap.
"Dad, Alena what should? What should Alena do so that Mama Lina and sister Larisa do not always threaten me by unplugging all these tools. Why do you have to write down all the wills on behalf of Mama Lina" I said again.
I took a deep breath as I remembered the will of money that my mother Lina had shown me. I have not loved me all this time
