"You kidding? Ojo guyon To,! (Don't joke To,!)" Shela looked at Parto with an indecipherable look. I don't know, for Shela to establish a relationship is not just between two hearts.
He who always based on his mother's past, became always vigilant with the surrounding. Less harmonious how the father and mother used to be but, in the end they had to end up in the brink of divorce because of the third person. Economic factors also became one of the reasons why his father left them at that time. And Shela did not want to repeat her mother's sad story first. No, just imagining it made Shela shudder.
"Sopo sing guyon La, I'm tenanan! (Who's joking La, I'm serious!)"
Shela laughed at Parto's words. Parto was confused, thinking whether she had mispronounced or how Shela responded like that.
"To, I. you. know how many months? how many years? hmm, there haven't been two months, right? We're not that close either To, maybe mom thinks you're my boyfriend. But I can't think like I thought. Is it that easy for you to think of me as your future wife after we met a few times? To, we live in a world that needs a lot of sanity! Don't get too carried away. Ye know? to establish a relationship it must be based on likes first, do you ask me, I like you or not?"
Take a pause to breathe.
"A few times we have met is not enough for us to know each other. I said 'evidence', to answer your words that say I will not leave me. To, you know what? Getting married takes a lot of money. Not only your heart is a consideration but also an economic one. I will share my story with you a little as a consideration for your decision that says I am your future wife, My father used to leave my mother with the reason to meet the needs of the family, he went to the city of To. But, you know what my father got after he went wandering? family's destruction! He cheated on me, my mother was destroyed, I was destroyed, the family I was proud of as the most harmonious family was the subject of jokes by my neighbors and friends."
Shela started to wipe her tears.
"La.." Said Parto who felt guilty for his rash remarks instead made Shela cry. Remembering the past really made Shela tormented.
"Five years after my father's departure, he came again To. came with his son and wife. Dad came to ask for the house that my mom and I occupied. Hahaha that's funny, huh? Many years of living in the city but when I returned home even ngusir me and my mother. I hate my dad! A man like him doesn't deserve to be called a father.."
Still crying Shela looked at Parto. Parto could not bear to see Shela as sad as that.
"Two weeks.Two weeks To, me and mom had to live one roof with dad. With his wife and son. Mother had not filed for divorce, in the eyes of the law the father is still the husband of the mother. In the eyes of the neighbors the mother is a woman who often demands that the father turn to another heart. They are stupid, they can think like that! You know what kind of heartache mom has, every night she cries. I'm sick of it! Dad deliberately made my mother mentally depressed so that mom would take me away from home. I often get tantrums by the father, often snapped by his wife.frequently scrambling toys with his son! Those two weeks are hell To,"
"Embah Uti (grandmother) who did not bear our condition, finally persuaded his father and his wife to live with Mbah Uti. They want? Of course because I think dad also hesitated when looking at mom. Whether I feel guilty or unwell.I do not know.that I and my mother can breathe a sigh of relief after the move of the father and also his wife's child at that time. Mom quickly takes care of the divorce papers so that similar events do not happen again."
"La. have not been criticized if it makes you sad La," Parto rubbed softly Shela's shoulders.
"No, you should know. You should know why I have not wanted to continue our relationship. I don't want you to think I'm selling too expensive or too demanding. I just don't want to repeat my mother's bitter story.." Shela said while looking down.
"I'm sorry La. I don't think that far, I don't think about your feelings. I should have bounced back before saying those sacred words.I'm wrong here."
"To. I'm not material crazy, we live in the village. Eating rice with garem also I can, it's commonplace.but, the demands of other needs in the future certainly not enough with the capital of the heart and love right To?" this time Shela spoke very softly. There was no anger topping their conversation.
"Yes, he is.."
"We're just old. lf you know To, you're the only friend I have right now! I've never told anyone like this, I can open up to you. I don't know when I used to think you're a bad person but, I don't know, now even I'm telling the story of my past the same person I used to label as this bad guy."
"I'm a thug but my heart believes La, I'm not the man you used to think of!"
"La. thanks for believing in me, I'll be steadfast enough to take your heart."
"Yes, a lot of work, a lot of money! Success just got me married!"
Both of them laughed at Shela's words.
O Allah, my way to make this girl in front of me smile, laugh, and be happy because of me.
"To.. By the way you know who the crazy girl was?" shela asked, her mood has improved.
"No, but wait, he said his name was Meisaroh La!"
"To. I know you're a little crazy, but now I also know more. You have a weakness in hearing! Her name is Medusa To!"
Parto smiled, laughing a little at Shela's voice. It turns out that Shela is a girl who likes humor too.
"La Wedusa? goat dong?!" back they laughed just by discussing Meisya's name.
The next second, Parto realized.. Meisya, that name sounds familiar. Yes, because only last night he, Seno and Beni made the name Meisya as a trending material hibahan.
"To. I'm going home, I don't want to make you worry." Said Shela while riding her bike.
"Do you want anther?"
"No. lha you don't work?"
Hearing Shela's question made Parto realize, today she must immediately go to Pak Agus' house to drive her travel car.
"Astaghfirullah's.. Oh, my God, La,!"
"Hmm nengopo? (hmm why)"
"I was conned esuk-esuk nyang omahe pak Agus, meh nyupiri travelle. heleeh iki yo kawanen me! (I was told early in the morning to his house Mr. Agus, want to drive his travel car. heleeh this is my bad luck!)"
"Mulo duwe mpripat kui dinggoni kocomoto jaran ae, delok wedokan ngesot nyang siding dalan kok girap! (they have eyes that are used in horse glasses, look at the girls suck on the roadside kok kesenangen!)"
Both giggle. Looks like their relationship in the future will be fine but, yes mbuh! (yes I don't know).
