A black long-sleeved shirt paired with a suit was worn by Jonathan, he sat on the edge of the mattress squeezing his fingers in worry. The janyungnya was not care when he realized this was not one of the good days for him.
Erin is married today and she is confused whether to be present to be one of the guests who congratulate her or choose to stay silent. There was the sound of Andika calling straight into her room without excuse.
"You ready ? Let's go." Invite him but Jonathan did not immediately stand up, even the look of his face looks frustrated.
"I don't know if I'm willing or not to see him with another man." Jonathan said, which surprised Andika.
"Don't tell me you still have a taste for Erin ?." But Jonathan replied with a nod. "You're crazy, she's getting married now and being somebody's wife, you better forget it soon."
Jonathan sighed, he should not have told Andika that the squeeze for Erin was still the same and strong tips but should be destroyed immediately. "I know I was wrong." He moved and tidied up the suit he was wearing. "Let's go, see her get married will wake me up soon."
*****
Erin's wedding already seemed crowded with guests present but the groom's entourage had not yet arrived, Andika was watching her cousin so as not to do anything.
"Whatever happens you must be steadfast." Message before ijab qobul event held.
The sound of the groom's car and the accompaniment of a large family goes inside. Before long Erin was accompanied by her mother out of the room to the main place, ijab qobul where the ruler was ready as well.
White kebaya with neat hair ornaments make Erin look very beautiful. That timid smile made his appeal increase, they were sitting on the same chair facing the head of the head.
"Erin is so beautiful." Rani who sits next to Andika is happy and sad, now friends play everywhere has first stepped into the guarantee while she herself has no partner.
"She's beautiful." Jo replied in a soft voice. "We're so close that it feels so far away." His game in heart.
Penghulu previously checked everything so that no one was missed after that the bride said the ijab qobul. "Where are the witnesses...why ?."
Jonathan was about to open his mouth and say it was not legal, but on the other hand he could not bear to see Erin's smiling face and could not possibly mess up the show of the girl he loved. Eventually, he chose to give up and let go.
"WELL." RIGHT." Saying all the guests present was no exception Jonathan. He must be willing, must be steadfast and must be sincere when the ruler sets them up as a couple.
Erin and Raihan now change positions and sit on the stage that has been provided. Some of the guests queue up to shake hands while others choose to enjoy the dish first while Jo does both.
He did not move, his gaze was still fixed on Erin who had officially become a wife and Jo had to be willing but let him be satisfied looking at Erin today and had to step forward tomorrow day, he said, try to move on and accept new people.
"No tasting the food ? It's delicious." Andika tries to distract Jo because her cousin seems very sorry.
"I'm not in the mood to eat." The answer.
Andika also does not appetite if seeing Jo is currently sad, she can still afford to buy the food itself neat today Jonathan became his responsibility so that nothing. Many heartbroken people who do reckless things, of course Andika does not want Jo to do that.
"It's up to you to stay here, but I want to go home." His word.
"Alright but we must greet and give a greeting to the bride first."
Jonathan nodded, they went up to the stage in line like the other guests. Seeing the beloved wnita become queen a day sitting next to another man instead of her, Jo's heart was like being sliced by a knife and salted, a pity.
"Congratulations on your marriage, may you always be happy." He said softly with all the remaining strength Jonathan had. He wrote saying it didn't even forget a smile of patience on display.
"Let's go, I don't have the energy to be here anymore."
"Well I'll take the car."
After leaving the place where Erin married instead of going straight home, Jo even asked Andika to go to a lake that the four of them had visited during High School. A pocket dalm wallet was taken and a small photo which is a memory of the youth that Jo saw.
"Time goes by so fast it turns out, I miss this place." Jo noticed the place that turned out to be a lot of change, the water that was once clear so he could swim there already looked turbid and filled with moss and dried leaves that fell.
"You're right, that photo you're still keeping."
"I keep it so that every time I see it then I can remember that I was happy even for a while, when I was abroad never even though I forgot the memory of the four of us, the four of us, mom and Jihan."
Andika looked forward, many pohongs were uprooted due to drought and also leaf litter. "It's a pity but one day if you're happy then the people you care about will be happy too."
Jo smiled wryly, he rubbed his face then grieved even though no tears came out. "You know Mama and Jihan love flowers so much and want to be part of a flower until they forget to go home, and Erin came with a rainbow but I forgot I was lightning so we couldn't be together. I thought I'd found a place to go home, but I forgot I had to walk."
"Trust me, everyone will be happy in a different way and sometimes not as expected."
"Hopefully you're right because I've started to lose my spirit and even I've forgotten how to be happy."
