Between Two Hearts
Completion

Jiho moved to sit next to Tiara. "Darling, can I ask you something?" said slowly.

"Yes...?"

"What is your relationship with Ferdi?" said carefully.

"Huh...? So you still don't believe me, A?

"Ah no, no. It's not like that. Aa trusts you. Just a glimpse of your relationship so close, is it true that you don't have the slightest feeling for it,?"

Tiara fell silent. He was confused what to answer? While indeed, half his heart already has the name Ferdi.

"Yes, if you don't answer. Aa. Let's just talk about something else, shall we...?"

"Why has Aa disappeared? Didn't you ever tell me? I SMS not replyed, I call too, but what? Aa number never active though! I have a heart, too, A. You never told me! Why did you hang me so long! I wanted to find you, but where? No one knows! I have feelings too, A... Hiks..."

Tiara back sobbing.

"Sorry, sorry Aa. Mobile phone Aa is missing. The day after I got to town. Aa's looking for a job here and there. The money that Aa had was just enough to eat everyday. After Aa gets a job, Aa goes home to work at the cafe. Aa find extra money. For what? For your sake... If tired, Aa can only look at your picture, and it makes Aa excited again. I'm sorry, don't tell you..."

The girl fell silent while thinking, how hard is life in the city?

Tiara saw the man leaning his body while closing his eyes slowly. Weary. Indeed, his body was thinner than before.

"You're tired, A?"

"Yeah...?"

"Where to take a shower, then rest..."

"Hmmm yeah, all right..."

He got up from his seat and obeyed the words of the girl. Tiara had a chance to see behind him talk about something with mother.

'Ah that guy, it's good. It's not wrong that you chose it for me.'

***

Dddrr... Drr.... Vibrating tone on Tiara's phone, a sign of a message coming in. Message from Ferdi.

[Home home, deck?]

[Yes, my mom]

[Jixi?]

[There was a mas, behind me talking to mom.].

[Well, when?]

[When what?]

[His wedding, hehehe] He was just joking, but why was there another corner in his heart that hurt.

[Bhhh... I'm sorry, mas.].

[Yes, I know, deck. But my feelings won't change deck. I'm always waiting for you, you might change your mind]

[....]

[deck, is it still there?]

[....]

[I love you, deck]

No more messages from Ferdi. Tiara immediately deleted all messages from him. 'Why should I be stuck between you. My love is split in two.' Her inner still feels chaotic.

"It's a break, baby... Wake Aa up when you come home" said A Jiho as he sat next to the girl again. His face looked fresher after being doused in water.

"Yes, just in my room, A"

"Hmm, alright." he said again while following Tiara's footsteps from behind.

Tiara tidied up her bed, then Jiho casually laid down on the bed.

"Sunday is also here, especially if we are official. Can be free to do anything to you, so can't wait to get married to you quickly," he said teasing the girl. He blinked his eagle eyes, teasing Tiara again.

'Huh, you man!' tiara murmured in the heart. He did not respond to his words.

"Rest first, A. I want to help you cook in the kitchen. I'll wake up later if you come home," he said to divert the conversation.

"Thank you" he said with a smile. He briefly grabbed Tiara's hand, but was brushed aside quickly, Tiara soon passed leaving her.

The beautiful girl helped her mother cook in the kitchen, it was soon time for her father to come home.

"What's up, kid? Your eyes look puffy? You had a fight with Jiho?" ask mom on the sidelines of her work.

"Yes, Mom. There's a little problem, but it's sorted out..."

"Yes, Mom,"

"Mom believe, he's the kind man you chose for you."

He just nodded. Right said mother. 'He's not a nice guy, he's definitely in full charge of himself. Maybe I'm the one who's not paying attention to him. I have to fix this all.' he willed inwardly.

"Assynoltom..."

"Waalaikum salam, I have come home." welcome mother, I follow them forward.

"Who's there?" ask father.

"A Jiho, sir."

"Oh she's home...?"

The one who was talking came out of his own room. "Sir," Jiho greeted the father and greeted him.

"What time is it, son?"

"It's 8 nights sir."

"Well, you were on the bus all night, son?"

"Yes, sir,"

"Already, already, father let's clean up first, keep us eating together," mother mediated their conversation.

"Alright, later we continue to talk again y son.." continued the father to the candidate's ex. Jiho nodded.

After preparing the meal, they ate together. Tiara saw father and Jiho eating voraciously. They must be very hungry.

***

"Where's the job there, son?" Father initiated the conversation.

"Alhamdulillah sir, smoothly. I can pay off Dad's debts. Oh yes sir, I came back here because I wanted to marry my father's son."

"Hmmm, that's good. When's plan?"

"In this week sir, want to take care of the files first."

"Yes faster is better. It is not good that you are engaged, but the neng is even closer to other men," said the father insinuating his daughter.

"I believe in Tiara, sir,"

"Hmm, you really have to trust each other, that's the key to your relationship to last."

"Yes, sir."

"Sir, Mom, Aa... I ask for the wedding to be held simply, there is no need for parties, we just have to give thanks to family and close neighbors."

Tiara interrupted their conversation. They looked as if they were full of questions. "The money can be used for other purposes, sir. Or saved for our next life. I feel sorry for A Jiho, he's been working hard all this time" he continued. They nodded in agreement.

"Well, if that's what you want. You also agree, the important thing is that you are legitimate quickly, so that you do not have to worry anymore."

The clock shows at 8 p.m.

"Darling, why daydream?" tanya A Jiho broke her reverie. Then the man sat next to her. Tiara just shook her head.

Drrr... Drrr... The vibrate sign of his phone, indicating that there is an incoming message. By Ferdi.

"Who's SMS?" jiho asked back while glancing at the contents of the message.

[What's up, deck?]

"Ga need to be baled," said Jiho firmly. Tiara put her old phone back in her pants pocket. "Honey, Aa please... From now on, please stay away from Ferdi. We're getting married, you don't have to call her anymore, Aa's here. Aa will take care of you, won't you?"

Tiara nodded slowly.

"So good old, yeah..."

"Where are you going, A? Don't you have a house?"

"Haduuh, my future wife... Apparently already impatient, Aa lives here.." his little lead made the girl blush.

"What the hell,"

"Aa to Ferdi's house first, Aa doesn't want this to drag on, Aa has to finish everything,"

"But, A..."

"Relax, there will be no fighting between us. We'll finish it off fine. Aa said goodbye first, yeah... I'm happy with Mom and Dad,"

Tiara was just a mangosteen, but deep down, worried that they were fighting.
