Sandra realizes the condition, she knows that the parents will not agree with the relationship she has. Her father wants her to have high education, and he wishes to have son in law from rich family. At least, He has equal social status from his family. The family’s rules become the decision. Sandra tries to oppose the conservatives thought, but she cannot do it. Finally, her prediction turns into the fact, her father knows about Hendry and he prohibits the relationship. He threats his daughter to be part. Secretly, Sandra always finds Hendry; her tears always roll down when she meets Hendry. Hendry whisper through her ears, he said, “Don’t cry my dear Sandra; I promise you, I’ll never leave you. Don’t you realize that, it has been for some years, we have been together, and I still remember the first time we met… It was in a blink of eyes, and I feel the love between us, and I’m happy now because I get you now and I’m still here beside you, wherever you go, I’ll always be with you, feel your heart beats and I always be there... Now I make the vow, I’ll always be with you till the end of time...” Sandra wipes her tears, she said “Yeah...I keep your promise Hendry, please don’t ever leave me”, “Trust me, I won’t” Hendry smiles in front of her face. Deep inside his heart, Hendry feels sad, he knows that it is not easy to safe the one he loves.
Hendry has brother. His name is David, David is a young and handsome boy; he is tall and has a good appearance. Many girls fall in love with him, but he is a numb boy, and introvert to the girls. Sometimes he prefers to be alone, because he feels that a poor boy will not proper to fall in love. Until someday he knew, his brother has a girl. Jealousy, hatred, and feeling loss of his brother come and sit in his heart. Silently, David becomes a stalker and he spies Sandra.
One day, David traps and threats them to be apart. They both fight about jealousy. Yes, it is because David feels jealous because his brother has changed because of that girl. The opposite thing, Hendry is confused why his brother looks peculiar. Hendry slaps him after a while, David put out his knife, and they fight. Hendry feels that it is out of his mind why his brother becomes his enemy. Hendry wants to explain why he loves Sandra very much and wants to save his love. Besides, he does not want to lose his brother too.
Hendry recalls his past, he remembers that his brother has mental problems, and it remains after their father passed away. Since they were a child, they always were together. Hendry and David just like twin. Their mother bought shirt and toys in the same types and they care each other. Hendry become his friend even he acted to be brother also. Until this time David feels that Hendry is his, no one understand him instead Hendry. Dilemma appears from his heart, should he choose one of them, but it is impossible he answers to his heart.
The next day, Hendry stares at his brother. He knows that his brother has changed and everything he sees look unfamiliar. Hendry keeps silent all day; even he does not want to see his brother. Gazing around as if there is no one around, he draws the chair and sit. After a while, he plays the guitar. David stares the brother cynically. He walks out the door, and slams the door heavily. David speaks through his heart, and he said, “Hendry you have changed, yes… you’ve changed because the girl… look what I’m going to do… huh! You’ll regret about it…” His mind is blowing around, and bad ideas appear on him.
Time passes by. David keeps his bad mission. Intentionally, he always spies what Sandra does even her activity has been listed by him. Everyday David tails her and she does not realize it. One day, David follows Sandra silently, she is walking through the small village, and she passes the small forest. Sandra is in hurry, because the dawn has come. While she is walking, she tries to comfort herself by singing and humming. Suddenly, just like a flashlight, David jumps from the tree and he drags her to the dense weeds. Sandra screams loudly. Through the weeds, David find a tree, he posses her to stand beside the tree, and he ties her hands. Ruthlessness perches on his mind; he rapes Sandra, after all, he leaves her alone. Simply reasons he does not want to lose his brother. The only one he thinks that no one understands him. He thinks that his brother who can understand him. After then, David walks away, his mind recalls his childhood, he remembers the laughter, and sadness he has shared with Hendry. Because of his mental problems, he looks innocently after doing a crime; he can act as if nothing happen toward him. He looks cold and mysterious.
The forest becomes the dumb witness. Sandra tries to wake up. With all the bitterness, Sandra goes home. Her heart breaks into a pieces, she talks to herself, “Oh God, what should I do, and you’ve already known that my heart, and soul only belong to Hendry, but right now I’m just a rubbish, his brother had raped me, even I can’t fight against him. Why did he rape me…??!!!?!, she is crying. The incident was too fast, Oh God…” Sandra cries along the night. Early in the morning, Sandra runs away from home.
On veranda, Hendry sits alone, he understands, and comprehends about his brother. He realizes that David has a mental problem. This is the reason why Hendry always forgives his brother. While thinking about David and Sandra, Suddenly, Hendry realizes that for some days he does not meet Sandra. He thinks that he has to meet her love. Without think twice, Hendry goes to the secret place where she always keeps the letter for him. After reaching the place, he found a letter. He passionately read the letter. Shockingly, his anger is reaching into his chest. In a rush, he runs to home and find out David. Hendry lost his patience; the anger has already come up into his head. Hendry shouts to David, “why did you do like that, I won’t kill you, understand that...!!!!!!!!!, but you have to know that I will marry Sandra...!!!!!!!!!” and they fight like enemy.
The next day, Hendry wanders to find his love, Sandra. Hendry convinces his heart to keep and save Sandra. He does not care even she has been raped by David. Finally, Hendry meets Sandra, and he explains everything. No matter what, Hendry redeems his vow and marry her even though his brother has made scares to Sandra. The true love will always find the way. "A Sincere love will lead the way". Hendry said
to Sandra “I always love you, no matter what…” Hendry whispered…
P.S
This is only in a brief of fiction. Perhaps, it also happens among us in different story. Sometimes, we want to do our best for people we love but ‘Dilemma’ of life has sat between. David with his mental problem and jealousy does not want to lose his brother. He thinks that his brother is everything in his life. Hendry as a brother understands that he cannot be separated with David. Besides, Hendry has his own life. He has a right to build his future with the one he loves. However, Hendry does not want to kill his brother even he knows that he has raped Sandra. This is the hardest part of Hendry’s life. Hatred, and revenge can be a point to kill his brother, but he did not do that. The value that we can catch is how can we have ‘a big heart’ like Hendry?. In reality, people still positions their thought with their ego, it is not always a bad thing, but how can we have ‘a big heart’ to receive something bitter in our lives. Hendry and David are only the description of story. Perhaps we can relate it into reality in many things of life. That is the point. I myself as the writer admit that this is the hardest part to receive something unexpected. We need to build our ‘big heart’ so that we can learn the life fully. Even though it is hurt but hopefully it can increase our patience, we can also manage our emotion, anger, and ego.
