Wretched Love Story

Can you imagine if your wedding party is canceled? How do you feel if you are like that? I believe that you must be disappointed and sad. But this is true story which is experienced by my sister-in-law named Nina. Before getting married with my brother, she had bad experience about love. She ever told me about her wretched love story.

My sister-in-law comes from Majalengka. Several years ago she moved to Jakarta for working. At that time she met with a man named Rudi who comes from Medan and worked in the same office with her. Meeting everyday made their hearts beat differently, even love grew up. They were falling in love.

Two-years relationship, they tried to make a commitment. He proposed her to be his wife. My sister-in-law was extremely happy. Directly my sister-in-law told her family in Majalengka about that case and they agreed about it. And Rudi also told his family in Medan. Shortly after that, he came to my sister-in-law’s house in Majalengka to make a deal about wedding party. But there was something peculiar with his coming. He came just with his relatives, there were no his parents. Rudi told that he had already told his parents but they could not come because they were not feeling well. He explained the reason and her family understood. In the end of meeting, they made a deal about the party which was going to be held two months letter.

The time was running quickly. One day before the party, she made sure that her wanna be husband had already come to Jakarta. He told that his family and he had already come and was looking for hotel to take a rest for a while. And they would go to Majalengka next day in the earlier morning.

The time that many people were waiting for was coming. She had already prepared everything; her relatives and the headman had come. She had worn wedding gown. Everything had already been prepared. One thing that they needed was waiting for the groom and his relatives. It had been a long time but the groom had not come yet. They began panic. They were afraid that they got accident or whatever. But they still thought positively. My sister-in-law’s parents tried to calm her down but she cried out. Until Afternoon came, they still had not come. There was nothing news about that any more, even one week had passed. My sister-in-law’s family and relatives were disappointed, even she was stressed. Rudi’s family and he broke the marriage ceremony and Nina’s family of feeling.

That is so tragic. I cannot imagine if I were her. Perhaps I will feel embarrassed, afraid of people’s talk, and crazy. The man who leaved my sister-in-law does not have any feelings. He does not appreciate what he has got. But my sister-in-law is lucky getting the problem because now she can meet with my brother and continue her life with him.
