That night, the innocent girl looked sad and restless. Honestly, she was confused and worried about the decision she made. She thought about how to explain it all to her lover. Not until the heart to see the lover disappointed and hurt. But whatever reason, she had to make a decision by sacrificing one of the people she really loved. It's difficult choice.
Her mind was a mess. At that time she was on guard waiting for her father in the hospital with her childhood friend Zara and her first sister, Endang. Meanwhile, Mrs. Warsinah and the others went home to rest. They took turns. Zara takes time off to be with her best friend. She couldn't bear to leave Sri alone. And she also feels responsible for what happened. Because she also contributed to the girl's escape from the house.
When Sri entered Pak Poniman's treatment room, she saw Zara talking to Endang.
"Sis Endang already knows Sri's relationship with the man from Turkiye? Is it wrong if Sri loves that man?" Said Zara.
"Yes, I already knows, but she knows the man from virtual world, does it make sense that suddenly Sri can love him?I think it's not love, it's just admiration. Yes, it's not wrong, if we love someone. That is not wrong if they have known each other for a long time. They never met at all, how come fallen in love each other? isn't it strange?" Endang replied.
"I don't think so, Sis, they have known each other. It's Around the road for three months as far as i knows. And who says the two of them haven't met yet?
Zara has even met and talked to the man. Sri has met the man in real life, not in virtual world again. He coming to Indonesia just to meet the Sri and her family. Sri has also been proposed. Although he had not proposed directly to his parents. But at least he has proven that he is real. He proved that he really wants to take his love relationship with Sri seriously." Zara assured Endang.
"So, this man is in Indonesia now? But you can't do anything! You know that my father had a tough character. If he has decided something, we must obey it.
We can't argue right now. It's will be make matters worse." Said Endang.
"Yes, Sis! The man is in Indonesia now. He is in Jakarta. And you know about Anton? To be honest, Zara was the first people to oppose the matchmaking. Zara has memorized and know about Anton's behavior all this time. He is not a good man. His work every day is just drinking and playing with girls. Anton's victims weren't just one or two. But many, one of which is a close friend of Zara herself. Anton had impregnated Zara's friend. And what's worse, he don't want to take responsibility. He forced my friend to have an abortion. To the extent that my friend were kicked out by their parent!" Zara told Endang.
"What if the Turkiye man is ordered to come here? Who knows if my father have met him, he might change his mind and approve of their relationship!" Said Endang.
"That's right! Who knows by bringing them together we can change this situation." replied Zara.
Suddenly, Zara's cell phone rings, apparently Bahadır is calling Zara. Because he tried to call Sri's number there was no answer. Sri deliberately avoided her lover.
"Hello, Zara! Is Sri with you now? My video calls have been ridiculed. And my messages are also not being answered. I don't understand what is going on with her. I feel like she is avoiding me on purpose." Says Bahadır.
"I hope you understand her current situation. Sri is in a dilemma. Her father still insists on betrothing her. I heard that Sri has made the decision to accept the match. That's why she's been avoiding you a little." Zara said to Bahadır.
Dag..Dig..dug.. deerrrrr...! ( Heart voice )
It was like being struck by lightning in broad daylight and then burned and torn apart. How disappointed and hurt his heart was listening to Zara's words. The blue-eyed man couldn't believe this could happen. He is even willing to leave his responsibilities and cancel all meetings with his clients in order to meet his lover.
However, Bahadır realized and understood that this was not Sri's wish. She just wanted to be a dutiful son to her parents. The blue-eyed man's thinking was quite realistic. He is very mature and mature.
For a man crying is a rare thing and as much as possible to be suppressed or avoided. However, maybe his love was too deep for the innocent girl. No wonder if the man crying, because they've been in a relationship for several months. Even though he tried to hold back, immediately his cheeks were wet with tears. The disappointment and pain in his heart melted into one with his tears.
But his male instincts were dismissed about it. He said to himself, "I have to be strong and tough to accept and let go of everything, maybe Sri is not my soul mate. I know God has prepared something bigger and special ahead there. I can't be weak and hopeless. Everyone has a lesson to be learned.
But, it is undeniable that the pain and disappointment thrashed. The girl who had been thought to be his soul mate, now prefers the man his parents chose.
His heart was shattered into pieces. He thought he had to make decisions and actions to leave all of this. He decided to return to his native country, Turkiye.
Let this be a sweet and bitter memory that melts into one. His love was buried in his heart.
His muttered for strengthened his broken heart, "When it comes time to part, there's no need to grieve, that's where you see the existence of your love will be more real, because it's covered in deep longing. When you see the person you love from afar happy that's where you also have to be happy for her happiness. Life sometimes gives us burdens that we cannot lift. It feels like we've been gasping for breath. And we seem to be crushed under that heavy burden. Then we continue our lives from the previous stopping point."
In that room, an innocent girl must also strengthen her heart. Trying to look tough and hide her sadness. Bahadır had sent a voice message to her that. He said goodbye to return to his native country, "To be honest I can't leave you, bury this love deep. But what can I do, I respect your decision. I will wish you a happy life always. If fate brings us together again, I hope I see that smile on your pretty face. When we meet later, I don't want to see tears on your cheeks. Even though we were only friends at that time. It's enough to make me happy. Greetings from me to the most beautiful, Bahadır Emrah."
That was the content of the last message Bahadır wrote before the two of them parted ways. Suddenly, the girl could not hold back her tears. She went outside and sobbed sobbing. His heart also felt the same way that the blue-eyed man felt.
Moments later Zara appears and hugs her. Zara is the one who always strengthens and accompanies her in times of adversity.
"Patience, Sri, maybe Bahadır is not your soul mate. Let go of everything, expand your heart. Try to accept the reality that has happened. Ribs will not be owned by those who are not the owner. I will always be there for you." Zara said to Sri
"Thank you. You are my best friend. You are always there when I need support. I will try to let it go and let it all go." Sri answered with a sad expression on her face.
