ELECTORAL MAN
Follow the Game

What compensation would he give me? i'm curious. House, billions of dollars, cars?

For the sake of love, he was willing to do all this. Absolutely bucin maximum. If I follow his will, he will come back to his ex-wife and I will get the appropriate compensation... Hmmmmm... That’s not bad. Maybe this is the best way. The Compensation value I get from him will probably be very useful for my parents...

I can't be stupid. I have to act smart and play beautiful. Robust. Robust... I have to be strong. End this heartache and pain. Time to make some common sense.

Tonight, I will make a decision. Hopefully this decision will provide enlightenment for my family's life. Decisions that make me think realistically. This may have been part of my life's destiny.

This harsh reality I must accept.

...****************...

I got out of the room and got ready. The bald man was sitting at the dinner table. Tumben he's leaving a little afternoon. It's already half-eight.

"For Ninis. Come, breakfast. What do you want for breakfast? there are waffles, egg sandwich bread, jam bread also exist. There's chicken porridge too."

He offered me breakfast with a nervous expression. As if afraid of being wrong or as if making up wrong. But it is clear that he is guilty.

"Tumben left noon Mas? usually early in the morning."

"Yes, it just so happens to be a bit relaxing today. Deal with client at 10."

Yesterday I left early in the morning because I wanted to avoid me! speak me in my heart.

"You're wearing a uniform. Is today coming in?" tanyakanya.

I nodded.

"Today I went to school. Bored at home. I miss the same school."

"Oh yes, about the offer that Mas Farid offered me...I decided to accept it!"

The baldy was shocked. He almost choked.

"Already, Mas. I am aware of. Love and feelings cannot be forced. So what kind of rewards will I receive?"

"I seriously want to help Mas Farid. I will follow all the procedures that Mas Farid has designed so far. For Meylan's sake, so he'll be ready to come back. And that's really a condition of her?"

"Don't think about how I feel. I have accepted all of this. Maybe this is my way of life...."

The bald man was suddenly dumb-headed as if in disbelief, but then he replied, "alright then."

That morning, we had breakfast together. I tried hard even though my heart kept crying. I have to be strong. Can't be seen crying in front of him.

I don't love this guy yet. But I had hoped to be able to love and be loved sincerely by this man. The man Bu Endang's choice was introduced to me. Who eventually became my husband. I married her with a sincere intention, wanting to build a prosperous household, wanting to build pillars of worship.

I want to make my parents happy.

My hope is so great to knit the future with him. But sometimes life doesn't work out what we want. And this is the reality of life that I have to face now. Everything is completely beyond expectations.

He took me to school that morning. At first I refused. He said, all of you. He wouldn't mind taking me first. Although awkward, I was finally willing.

All the way we were silent. It's just that, just as I was about to get off, he had a few words to say.

"Nis, thank you very much. I promise I will keep my promise. I'll make that deal soon. Thanks again. May Allah repay your kindness. You are a good woman and you will get a good man. Much better than me. Trust Nis..."

I nodded while trying to smile.

"We'll still be friends with Nis!" he said while shaking my hand.

"Yes, it's." I also shook it.

With light steps I entered the school gate. I wish there was something I could do today at school.

Seriate.
