Between Two Hearts
Invitation

"Please, stay away from Tiara!" jiho said without further ado as he reached Ferdi's official house. His eyes were full of emotion.

"If I don't want to, what do you want?"

And suddenly Jiho pulled the collar of Ferdi's shirt and pushed it all the way to the wall. He clenched his hands ready to punch. Ferdi close his eyes and "Dduuug!!" Wasn't it! Not his best friend (former) who was punched but the wall beside him. Ferdi opened his eyes, he saw Jiho was very frustrated.

If it wasn't for Tiara, it felt like she was eager to repay him. Yes, as much as Ferdi could temper this anger, he did not want Tiara to get hurt. He didn't want Tiara to cry because of her selfishness.

"You know? Tiara's the only one I have. Back away!" jiho said back, which made his chest ache.

"Why? I also have the right to love him" Ferdi said, not wanting to lose.

Jiho looked at Ferdi with dislike.

"Before the yellow janur curls, I'll keep going!" ferris again.

"Since when?"

"When has what been? You don't need to know! That feeling just grows. Tiara likes me too. I'm sure it is!"

"Hhhhh, that's impossible!"

"Why is that impossible? You're the only one who can't accept the fact that your fiance likes me!"

"..."

"You're missing so, who's got him? Me!!"

"..."

"You don't know how she felt all this time? He's hurt, you're lost and now you're back. He must be confused!"

"..."

"Why are you quiet, huh? Guilty feeling?"

"I was wrong! not telling him. But he's still my fiancee. Back off...!"

"Have you asked about her feelings? And who did he choose?"

"Yes...! He agreed to marry me. So back off, don't call him again." said Jiho who made Ferdi a little surprised.

'So there's no chance for me? Don't you have any feelings for me, Dek?' Ferdi's chest felt torn apart, it felt sakiiit once.

"Good! I'm going to back off, but just remember, once you make her cry, I don't hesitate to take her back from you!" tukas Ferdi really mean it. His feelings were chaotic.

'Yes, this time I will give up but no other time.' Inner Ferdi just kept convincing himself.

"Yes, I'll definitely make her happy!" jiho said later. Anywhere passes just like that. Ferdi knew his feelings were as chaotic as they felt.

***

Really tonight, Ferdi can't sleep. His feelings are so fucked up. 'Can't be this fast? Don't you have any feelings for me?'

[Sir, are you really getting married?]

Ferdi sent that short message to Tiara. Long time no reply. Ferdi sent another message for her.

[Sir, please answer SMS.].

After a few minutes, Ferdi's phone rang.

[I'm sorry, ma'am... ]

[Why? Are you getting married?]

[Yes mas.].

[Then what about me, deck? Don't you have any feelings for me at all, deck]

Long time, there was no reply from him.

[Sir...?]

[Sir, whatever happens will be waiting for you]

'My feelings are fucked up right now. Does Tiara feel the same way? He must be worried, right? Lie, if he doesn't have any feelings for me! Aaaarrrrgghhh, I miss you very much, dek.'

***

A week had passed, without any news from him. Ferdi knew Jiho must have banned him. My mind is screwed, he doesn't care about the messy official house like his disheveled appearance.

"Mas... Mas Ferdi.." call someone from the outside. Ferdi opened the door. He saw that Mr. Hasan was already standing at the door. He smiled greeting the man despite his disheveled appearance.

"Yes? What's up, sir?" asked Ferdi later, with a feeling of laziness that was so entrenched.

"It's a mas, there's an invitation."

"From who?"

"From Toha, mas."

"Oh yes thank you," I said.

"Yes, Mas. Excuse me first," said Mr. Hasan, he passed away.

The deg! Ferdi's mind became confused. He knew this would happen. Ferdi saw two name carvings on the invitation. Married: Jiho & Tiara.

He should be happy that his best friend is getting married. Ah no, she's not her best friend since they loved the same girl. He's his rival, and now he has to give up?

'No! Nah! Is there not the slightest chance against me? Oh, myGod.....'

***

The next day, in honor of Mr. Toha, Ferdi attended the wedding. The girl was very beautiful dressed in white kebaya, simple yet elegant. She's prettier than usual. She smiled happily with the man of her choice. If you can be honest, there is this corner of the heart that still hurts.

"Hi mas, how bengong aja from earlier? Interested in Neng Tiara?" reprimand Mr. Hasan, the neighbor here while grinning.

"Ah this father!" sahut Ferdi was wrong.

"Neng Tiara is beautiful, Mas Ferdi came late anyway, so first the tuh people, hahaha" he said again, Ferdipun just a little laugh responded.

Some residents here do know Ferdi's proximity to Tiara. That was because the young man often stopped by his house or the road with him when necessary.

"There samperin, soon the neng was taken to the city."

"Huhuh? What's?"

"Lho, Mas Ferdi did not know yes, after they were married, Tiara neng wanted to be taken by her husband to the city" said Mr. Hasan again.

This time Ferdi's heart was pounding uncontrollably, between anger and disappointment. So he's leaving?

Ferdi turned his head and looked at him from a distance, accidentally meeting their eyes. 'You still hold those feelings to me, right?'

"Oh yes. Yes sir, I say yes, I want to see Mr. Toha first. Come, sir...."

"Oh yes, let's let's Mas," he continued.

Ferdi approached Toha sir who was standing among the invitations who came. The wedding is quite simple, but the guests who come are quite a lot.

"Sir, congratulations on the marriage of the father," he said while greeting Mr. Toha.

"Yes, kid. Come on boy, eat first and meet them." said Mr. Toha.

"Ah, no need sir. I was in a hurry to have business. Greetings to them yes... I'm leaving now yes, sir. Assalamualaikum," said Ferdi to the middle-aged man. Heart's broken.

'I'm a coward?? Yes, maybe you could say that. Really, I can't watch them linger. If anyone knew, today my feelings would be broken. I don't know what to do either. Feels hollow.'

Ferdi's not going in any direction. It felt like I was once gone from this village. Leaving all feelings including her. But he understood very well, he still had responsibility towards this village. Ferdi can't leave his job here. The people here are all nice and make it comfortable. It's like finding a new family here.

Ferdi passed through several rice fields, observing the vegetables that grow there. The girl's face flashed again in her mind. He smiled sweetly, his cute and cute behavior made him unconsciously arched the smile.

It was heartless to leave him without a word. Soon he grabbed his phone and sent him a message.

[Congratulations on your marriage, dek. I hope you can be happy with her. Sorry I couldn't see you in person.]
