I'm Growing Old But I'm Afraid of Getting Married
story part 33

Intan felt something stir in her heart. It's like it's very hard to leave the village he's been living in for the last two weeks.

Intan stared at the window while paying attention to the view of the village that was so beautiful in the eyes.

" Mom!! someday if diamond is successful, what can diamond buy a house and live in this village?". Intan asked her mother who was busy chatting with her father in the front seat.

"why not, baby!! This is my hometown, after all your grandmother and uncle also live here, so as long as it's a good thing mom and dad will support your decision baby!!.

Hearing her mother's words, Diamond felt relieved.

"thank God, then!!.

" but son!! Are you all right? Why has your face been moody ever since, something's been bothering you?." Mrs Ratih asked because she saw the unhappy diamond coming back home.

"go ma'am!!." intan sighed.

After that, the atmosphere became quiet, diamond no longer made a sound.

Intan looked out through the car window.

Faintly looking at Fatih who was standing on the side of the road while waving his hands towards him, as if he had been waiting for diamonds to pass through the road.

"coach!!!." Intan muttered in his heart.

"Well, stop first!!" intan asked the hero to stop the speed of his car.

"what's up, son? you feel nauseous?". Mr. Hero thinks diamond is nauseous and wants to get out of the car.

"well stop for a moment, it's a fatih mas waiting for diamonds on the side of the road!!!."

Mr. Hero looked at the rearview mirror but there was no one across the street who was meant by diamond.

" just stop for a minute!!" she asked her husband to stop.

Then the hero parked his car right under a coconut tree on the side of the road.

after the car is parked, diamond then gets out of the car and looks in the direction where he saw fatih standing.

"the feeling was there, I was gone!! Kan it's all rice fields can't be as fast as that mas fatih hide, weird!! what am I wrong to see ya!!." diamond did not see the presence of fatih who he believed was standing while waving at him.

"where is intan? No one is there!!" said the hero

"maybe diamond is wrong look yeah!! intan apologize, let's go again!!. Intan and pak hero got back in the car, while bu ratih since then still in the car.

Then they continued on their way to their home in the city.

In the car, the diamond is daydreaming and still facing out the window.

"butt!! Don't daydream, son, mother, so worry about you." mommy admonished diamond who kept daydreaming and didn't speak a word.

"is there with this father's son? Why suddenly become quiet like this!!!." said the hero sir but diamond remained silent.

Intan closed his eyes and fell asleep.

It did not feel they had taken 2 hours to finally reach their residence in the city.

Intan woke up from her sleep as soon as she heard the soft voice of the coach who woke her up.

"intan darling!! We've reached my son, let's rest in your room, your mattress and pillows have missed you!!.

Intan smiled and got out of the car and went straight to her bedroom which she had left for 2 weeks.

"ahh we finally meet again my soft and comfortable mattress!!" diamond lay down on his soft bed.

he stared at the ceiling of his room and accidentally saw the shadow of Fatih smiling at him above the ceiling of his room.

Soon enough, Diamond woke up and spontaneously woke up from the bed.

Intan ran out of the room to meet his mother and father who were still sitting in the living room watching television.

"momuu!!! Ahhhh!!! please diamond!!!." Diamond ran out of the room.

pak hero and bu ratih were shocked then bu ratih hugged diamond and asked "What's the matter dear? Why are you, son?.

" Something's wrong, ma'am!! Just now diamond saw the shadow of mas fatih on the ceiling of diamond room!!.

Mr. hero and bu ratih looked at each other as soon as they heard the words of diamond.

"has... Ha.... You are hallucinating son, where can fatih suddenly appear on the ceiling of our house, while the trip here alone takes hours son!!!" said the hero sir

"iihh father how the hell!! Intan seriously, it was there!!.

Intan felt very confident about what he had just seen, then diamond invited his father and mother to go to his room to check the truth.

"mending mom and dad see for yourself!!.

"all right let's go to your room!!." Said bu ratih

They went together to the diamond room to confirm the truth.

Intan hugs her mother while walking to her room, while pak hero becomes the front guard.

Mr. Hero entered the diamond room and saw nothing there.

"so where is fatih hiding?." pak hero asked intan.

"it's up here, yeah!!." Diamond pointed at the plain ceiling without any noise.

"butt!!! diamond!!! Looks like you're too tired, son, now just rest!!." bu ratih told diamond to rest.

"but!!! Ah never mind, well then diamond wants to sleep first." diamond back lying on his bed but this time no longer staring at the ceiling.

Mr. hero and ma'am train then go out of the room and let the diamond rest.

"what really happened to me? Why does a fatih always appear before me!! Am I starting to like it? No diamond, it's impossible!!." diamond continued talking to himself until he finally fell asleep.

In the afternoon came the sound of someone calling the name of diamond from outside.

"assalamu'alaikum!! Intans.. Intan are you home?." the voice of a woman who seems familiar to diamond.

Then diamond came out of his room, he saw his father and mother were no longer in the living room. "maybe the same mother was a soybean father also to the point of not hearing the voice of people calling.".

Intan opened the door and saw a beautiful woman wearing a hijab standing at her door, she was Cindy's schoolmate.

In addition to widia, diamond also has childhood friends named Cindy and Lia. They used to play together in school when they were in elementary school. But when growing up they have met less and less because of their respective activities.

Intan only often met with widia, because he married the people of one village.

Today is the first time diamond and Cindy have met again.

"cindy!! This is really cindy, right?" said intan in disbelief

"assalamualaikum intan, how are you?" said cindy

Intan then hugs Cindy without answering cindy's question.

"god, what a dream I just had!! Let's go in the cin." Intan took Cindy into the house.

They shed the longing because they had not met for years, because Cindy chose education outside the city and made her rarely go home, even almost never come home.
