1 METER OF FOOT
ROMANTICISM EMYR

Emyr who had just stepped down from the second floor of his house went straight to the living room. His eyes looked at the two parents already sitting there. Moreover, he also saw the mother was smiling by herself while looking at a piece of the photo she was carrying.

"Why are you smiling to yourself?" Emyr sat on the sofa opposite his mother.

"Mama just misses Yasmin, Emyr," Mulan's mom without taking her eyes off the photo she's holding.

"Ma! How was Mama sure that, if Shanum was a friend of Mama's son named Yasmin?"

"They're really Emyr-like. Shanum's face is exactly what Yasmin used to be in High School."

"Try Emyr to see the picture?"

Mama Mulan immediately gave a photo of her memories with Yasmin, her birth mother Shanum to Emyr.

Emyr's eyes slightly glared at Yasmin's face which was indeed really similar to Shanum's.

"They're like sisters."

Mama Mulan nodded her head. "That's why when Shanum opened the niqab, Mama was so shocked."

"Where is Shanumnya, Ma?" ask papa Hisham.

Emyr stared fixedly at the mother to wait for her answer. "So he said he fell asleep. So no ashar prayers and baths either."

"Is he sick?" Emyr spoke in his heart.

Not long after the person they were talking about finally came along as well. Mama Mulan smiled at Shanum's arrival who was walking timidly towards them all.

"Here's my boy! Sitting with Mama" Mulan patted the sofa next to her.

Shanum also said. She sat down on the sofa next to Mulan's mother. "Mama has long wanted to have a daughter. Want yes! So Mama's daughter?" mama Mulan while gently rubbing Shanum's back.

"But on one condition, you have to give a grandchild to Mama," mama Mulan spoke casually while laughing.

"Yes! The requirement with giving grandchildren is to marry Emyr!" added from papa Hisham.

"How's Nak? Have you thought about the answer?" ask mama Mulan.

Emyr just kept quiet while watching what the mother was talking to Shanum.

"Tomorrow! Shanum promised tomorrow he'd give you all the answers."

"All right! Mama will wait patiently."

"Mom and papa are going out for a minute. Do you want to leave Shanum something?" mama Mulan said again.

Shanum immediately shook his head. "No Ma! Mama be careful on the road with Mr. Hisham."

"To master continue tho Nak? Papa! Call Papa!"

"Is that so, Pa?"

Papa Hisham just nodded to Mulan's mom.

"Alright, Ma! Pa!"

Mama Mulan immediately smiled as she heard Shanum calling her mama and papa.

Mama Mulan and Papa Hisham then moved from the family room to leave for a while. And left Shanum with Emyr in that house alone.

"Do you want to look around Shanum's house?"

Shanum nodded slowly. "Can!"

"Come on! I'll show you everything."

Shanum just nodded. He followed where Emyr was. While continuing to walk around looking at the entire super luxurious house. Emyr kept staring at Shanum who was fascinated by his house.

"Do you like Shanum's house? If you don't like it, what kind of house do you want? I can change it or buy a new house."

Shanum, who was fascinated by the architecture of the Emyr house building, was immediately shocked when he heard Emyr's words. "Well! What does Brother mean?"

Emyr stopped his footsteps. "I'm really serious about you Shanum. Whatever I have, I will give it to you. Even my life."

"A-actually what is Brother's job? Why can you have a house like this and also a luxury car?"

"Do you know the A.E Corporation Company, or some factories and PTs labeled A.E Corp?"

Hearing the names of the companies, Shanum seemed to remember Laila's words long ago.

"Well! Too bad I didn't get caught at the A. E. Industrial plant, Shanum. The huft! Where else do I apply for a job?"

"There are still many factories here Laila. Why the hell is it in A. E?" shanum.

"A.E it's a very big company Shanum. The branches have spread everywhere. And the salary offered also exceeds UMR. Not to mention if there's overtime and bonuses."

"That's not called windfall."

"Shanon! Why even dream? Do you know all that company?" emyr's speech disperse Shanum's daydream.

"Eh! I-iya Brother! Shanum knows the company. Even Laila tried to apply at the A.E factory but refused."

"Oh yeah?" emyr. And Shanum just nodded.

"Then what does Brother have to do with A.E? Did you work for one of those companies?"

Emyr shook his head. "I work in all Companies and factories named A.E., Shanum."

"Huh?" Shanum looked confused.

Emyr smiled at Shanum's confusion. "I own all those companies and factories. It actually belongs to my mom's family. Their grandchildren are just brothers. So now it's been handed over to Brother and Sister who handle everything."

Shanum was really surprised. His mouth was wide open behind his niqab and his eyes were fixed on Emyr. Because Shanum did not expect, if the man in front of him was really very rich.

Emyr laughed again seeing Shanum looking at him like that. "Don't you look at Brother like that. My brother is scared."

Shanum immediately shook his head to neutralize his sense of shock.

Emyr then continued his footsteps again. And Shanum of course followed him straight away. "Silver believe, if you're not a matre woman like the women who usually approach Big Brother."

"How can Big Brother be sure of that to Shanum? Didn't we just meet?"

Emyr patted his chest. "My heart can't lie Shanum."

"Honest! Big brother just first felt like falling in love like this towards women. Brother doesn't know how to say it. And how to be romantic towards women."

"I'm sorry if Big Brother's attitude seems rushed or surprises you Shanum."

Shanum still silently listened to all of Emyr's words.

"Loving you is the most beautiful gift you ever felt. So then! Until whenever Big Brother will always love you and keep you by Big Brother's side, even if we don't have children."

Saw Shanum stop his footsteps. Emyr stopped. "Why can Big Brother be so sure about Shanum?"

"Aren't you afraid to regret, if Shanum isn't the woman you think she is?"

Emyr shook his head. "No! There was no regretful word that her name fell in love with Shanum. At least Brother has done everything he can to maintain Brother's love."

"Cure the pain of love. The cure is one. Open your heart to another love. Because in fact, behind that hurt, God has prepared a love more beautiful than ever."

Shanum was silent. He did not expect, his heart felt very comfortable talking to Emyr who looked very mature in the way he spoke and also thought.

Their attention was both diverted, when they heard the voice of adzan maghrib reverberating.

Emyr then invited Shanum to enter the house, to perform the Maghrib prayer first.

Before they split the goal. Emyr suddenly said something that made Shanum stop his footsteps. "Hopefully next week, we can pray together as a couple."

Shanum did not answer Emyr's words at all. He chose to go straight into the guest room he occupied. Emyr stared at Shanum's departure until he entered his room. After that, he went into his own room.
