That night, the blue-eyed man was silent and sat on a sofa chair in the corner of his bedroom. In front of the window pane, he was pensively looking out the window. Accompanied by light rain that night. The rain water collided with his heart that was upset.
Still fresh in the memory of a love story that ran aground because of an arranged marriage. Separated by distance, space and time. The blue-eyed man was still lamenting his fate. Twice he was in a serious relationship, but eventually ran aground in the middle of the road. However, the one that made the most impression was with Sri, an innocent girl from Indonesia. The intention of the heart is serious and wants to marry the girl immediately. But, fate said otherwise, he had to swallow the bitter pill because the lover he loved so much and hoped for chose to give up and end their relationship. Because of the reasons of herparents' arranged marriage.
Although the love story has passed. Even though they had separated, the man still hoped that a miracle would come. He wished he could reunite with the girl from Indonesia.
Sri often appears in his dreams. Only Sri's face existed in his thoughts and dreams. As if there were no other girls in this world.
"O creator of heaven and earth, you are the owner of the hearts of many hearts. You are the one who turns the hearts of your servants. On this dark night, with stars in the sky. I beg..! I mourn.. I'm sad..! Can you grant my request this time? When the heart is attached to the idol of the heart, no one can fill the void in my heart except for the one I love. Only Your love and compassion make me strong as I am today. But, there are still millions of hopes and dreams that are my strong desire that I want to return to this idol of my heart. May You grant this request of mine. Make Our meeting and union the most beautiful and greatest thing. Making everyone who witnessed it also dissolve in happiness for our united love." Bahadır screamed praying in his heart.
Suddenly his mother came into the room which broke the man's reverie. His mother then said, "Hala uyumadın mı canım? Ne oldu?
("You haven't slept my dear? What happened?")
"Hayır..! Hiçbir şey Annem!" The answer was short.
("No..! There is no my mother!")
"Ama, bu gece üzgün görünüyorsun canım?" said his mother.
("But, you look sad tonight my dear")
"Ofiste biraz sorun var. Ama merak etme her şey düzelecek annem." Reply Bahadir.
("There's a bit of trouble at the office. But don't worry everything will be fine, Mother."
"Evet, anladım." His mother replied as he walked out of his son's bedroom.
( "Yes, I understand.")
At that time, Bahadır covered up his feelings. He didn't want to make his mother sad. Suddenly he heard his cell phone ringing. Zara contacts Bahadır just then.
"Hello..! How are you, Zara?" said the man.
"Alhamdulillah, I'm fine! So how are you doing? Have you gotten married? Sorry to disturb you at this time of night." Zara said while turning on the air conditioner in her bedroom.
"Alhamdulillah, I'm fine too! How's Sri? Has she gotten married? It's been a long time since I've heard her voice! Zara? Why are you silent?" Bahadır said with a curious face.
"Not yet! Sri is not married. It's just that she is engaged to Anton. Bahadır! Don't you want to get back together with her? Don't you want to fight for your love? Bahadır..! Please..! Open your eyes..! Sri will never happy if She married Anton. Bahadır.. Please! Just listen to what I have to say this time." Zara said excitedly.
"Yes, it's true! It's true that I still love her. But, didn't you listen to her words? She said that she would do whatever her father wants. It's not her fault Zara! I want to fight for her. But don't you think about the second feeling her parents? What if They think I made Sri a child of disobedience? Do I support Sri to disobey her parents? My mother always taught me about the importance of being dutiful to both parents. Even if it was yourself you sacrificed. Even if it will torture or hurt your feelings. Devotion to parents is the main thing. Especially to Mother. Do you think this heart of mine didn't break when I left it and came back here? Zara..! I'm broken to pieces. But, in my brokenness I still have to look at the people around me. Especially my family especially my own mother. I saw my mother getting older day by day. I don't want to burden her with my problems that I should be able to go through and deal with. My mother wanted me to marry the woman of her choice. I can't refuse it. As is the case with Sri. She can do nothing but accept and surrender. Unless her parents approve of our relationship. The blessing of my parents is the most important thing for me, Zara." Bahadır said, expressing that the feelings he had kept to himself had finally spilled out.
"Okay! I understand your current condition. I'm sorry Bahadır. I just feel sorry for you two. Especially Sri, my childhood friend. Anton actually already has a child from a woman from his past. That woman's name is Clara. The woman demands that Anton take responsibility for his child. However, Sri doesn't know all of this yet. I honestly want to tell her this, but I'm afraid for the safety of Sri's parents. Anton is a man of temperament and is reckless if something doesn't go his way. He can do anything, even if it hurts people," said Zara.
"You better tell everything to Sri, before it's too late." Bahadır replied to Zara.
"But, what if Sri doesn't believe my words? It seems Sri has started to open her heart to Anton." Zara said to the blue eyed man.
"Isn't it better to try first than not at all? You will be even more guilty if one day something goes wrong or you don't want it. Try talking to her!" Bahadır replied to Zara.
Bahadır is indeed a good man and devoted to his parents. It is evident from his words to Zara. He is not a selfish man thinking about his own feelings. Bahadır also thought about the feelings of Sri's parents. Even though Sri's parents did not approve of Sri's relationship with her. Bahadır still respects Sri's parents.
"Okay Zara, my eyes are sleepy! I'm going to sleep first okay? Tomorrow morning I have to go to the office early. I have important business to finish soon." Bahadır said to Zara.
"Okay! Good night! Thank you, see you later." Zara replied while hanging up the call on her cellphone.
"It turns out that there are still good and patient men like Bahadır. If you weren't my best friend's former lover, maybe I would have married you Bahadır. But, unfortunately you are Sri's lover, my own best friend. I don't want to change and ruin my friendship with Sri. And even I want you guys to reunite. I really admire you Bahadır." Zara muttered in her little heart.
