When the Heart Speaks
Chapter 63 Happy road Ari

I stepped up, and chose to go into the room, my intention to help Papa take care of my invitation.

I was sitting on the bed, I really never thought this would happen.

Ari who I almost forgot in my life, who I never remembered in my day, tonight..Ari came to propose to me when I was one step away from becoming Dion's wife.

Why Ari came when I learned to make peace with my heart and circumstances.

"Lord.. Strengthen Me, express my heart.don't worry about my choice anymore..."

I rubbed my face slowly.

****

2 Weeks after Ari came to my house,

"Dec... Today I can't pick you up...."

Dion's message as soon as I just opened my eyes.

"Yes, I'm on the bus"

Quick reply.

I hurried to get ready for work, because Dion couldn't get me to work, which meant I had to leave half an hour earlier.

After breakfast, after,

"Dina's leaving, Ma..."

"Lohs..Dion hasn't come yet, Din,"

Said Mama wonder.

"Ma Bus, Dion can't pick up,,"

"Oh.yeah, be careful..Oh yeah don't forget your leave application, and another one...Invitation do not forget ! "

My mom reminded me.

I glanced and nodded.

10 Minutes wait, finally the bus majors where I work passing by, the,

I immediately climbed up, and at the time of choosing a seat, someone whose familiar face waved and told me to sit next to it, with a slight confusion I approached it.

I sharpened my memory, and my smile expanded when I knew she was Linda, a past-time High School teacher, and she was also Ari's best friend.

"Hay... Linda right??"

I pointed at him with a smile.

He nodded, though,

"Dina What??"

Ask,

"Well...well Lin, how are you?? where have you been all this time?"

"I work outside Din City, only a month ago Me and my family came back here"

"Oh...how are Bambang and Vishnu?"

I asked our best friend whose house was close to Linda because they were neighbors.

"Ohh, if Bambang He is now in Taiwan so TKI, if Vishnu He is now in Bogor already married Son 1"

Obviously Linda.

"Are you married yourself, Lin??"

I'm so thankful to be married, my son 2 Din. Oh yea...I didn't think you were the same Ari broke up, I thought, You guys are going to be a match.

Linda looked at me.

I smiled

"His name is not yet Lin's soul mate...Want to be flanked again, As powerful as we hold if God says not a soul mate, then it will certainly be released too, right? oh yea...This is an invitation for you and your husband, come yes.. Mid-next month I'm getting married, sorry... Not yet written his name.got thought about meeting here, accepted yes"

I took out an empty invitation from my bag, deliberately I brought more, afraid There are those I have not put the names of friends in my workplace, it just so happens that today I will spread the invitation at work.

"Alhamdulillah.welcome to Din....I must have come..."

"Oh yes Din.. I still can't figure out what happened to Ari, it's tragic yes.kasian is still young!"

"Genesis?? What happened to Lin?? If the problem between the two of us, it's all his destiny"

I try to guess.

"Don't...."

"Didn't you?? so what happened?

Urge me, at once my feelings become unpleasant.

"Well, don't you know Din about Ari's accident 2 weeks ago?"

Linda looked at me seriously.

"Huh?? an accident...You're serious Lin?!"

I don't believe it.

Linda nodded.

"Continue.how's Lin doing now??"

I held Linda's hand and shook it, hoping I'd get some good news.

"Ari died Din..."

Said slowly.

"Died??"

Instantly My body felt limp, sweat suddenly poured out, my eyes were wide open, my palms were smothering my mouth which was almost screaming in disbelief.

My eyes warmed up and within seconds the clear halo slid freely, with a sudden throbbing pain in my heart.

"Are you serious, right, Lin??"

I'll tell you again to convince Linda just now.

Linda nodded.

"When it happened Lin....Where??! and how did that happen?

With tears in my eyes I slightly turned my body facing straight towards Linda.

And Lind started telling stories.

"It was a few days before the incident, we had a chat... At that time, he asked me some models of rings,"

The...!!!!

My heart beats hearing Linda's first sentence,

"Could that ring be what Linda meant?"

My mind remembers the night Ari came to propose to me with a ring inside a love-shaped red box.

"When I asked who the ring was for, she just smiled and said pray for Him to be accepted. After that day, I never talked to him again, until that night, after Magrib, when Me and my husband wanted to go out with the children, we met him in front of the house, he said, He looked neat, fragrant and lively, when we asked..He answered He wanted to end the adventure, smiling He was saying goodbye. Before long He left we left, and I did not expect, it turned out He really ended the adventure of his life, and retired forever, around 9 pm when we came home, the house was crowded, a lot of people, curious we came and it turned out Ari was stiff with a wound on the head..Hiks..hiks..."

Linda could not help but cry, remembering that night.

While I myself have already shed tears, my chest tightens my throat as if suffocated,

I could say nothing more, shadow by shadow the events of the night were twirling in my head, was Ari really in an accident after coming home from my house, and He also said goodbye to me..

It was still clearly recorded in my brain how sweet the last smile he gave me when saying goodbye, his own eyes as if hinting that tomorrow I can no longer look at, warm fingers when holding my hand to be the last touch, even still ringing in my ear the last words he said as a farewell to me.

"I say goodbye, maybe not just from your home, but from your heart and longing.."

"Allah Ari.... It turns out that you are not only part of my house, from my heart and my longing, you are part of this world forever.."

I said softly, with tears pouring more and more.

Me and Linda were stunned while holding hands to strengthen each other.

I wanted to tell Linda about that night, but my tongue felt heavy, so I chose to shut up.. Let this be just my story and Ari will be my last memories with her.

Goodbye Ari.may you be quiet in the lap of the divine..

My prayer for you, who was once the most beautiful part of my life, is the first love I will always remember and remember...
