Albern and Lily
Kalbu

Zivanna stared at Darrrel without saying anything. The reality that the man had presented to her was completely unimaginable. He never really thought that Darrel would prepare all that to propose to him.

"Darrel, I ...." Zivanna was about to say something, but was stuck in her throat.

"I've said everything, but of course I can't force you if you really don't want to continue our relationship. In fact, all this time I was always wondering, what did you see of me until you chose me to be your partner. I've always been afraid that you're not really aware of what you're doing. I'm afraid that one day you'll realize that I don't have anything, and then regret choosing me." Darrel muttered as he sighed rather heavily.

"No, Darrel. Please don't say that" Zivanna said.

"I don't know what else to do to make you believe and believe me, so now I'm taking my parents to propose to you. But if you can't trust me, I can't force you, Zi. I can't be like those upper-class men, who don't have to fight too much to give you comfort. Even just to propose to you, I had to make you wait so long. I know, it's my fault ..."

"No, Darrel. I was wrong, I'm sorry." Zivanna's cries broke instantly. He really felt guilty for having misjudged this lover.

Zivanna thinks Darrel is not serious with her, so she continues to buy time when she wants to ask for certainty when their relationship will be inaugurated. It was unthinkable for the girl if Darrel was struggling as hard as he could to give his best for her.

"I'm sorry, Darrel. I was wrong for doubting you" said Zivanna again with a slight sob.

Darrel did not answer, but his hand stretched out and gently rubbed Zivanna's head. I don't know when exactly in love with this girl, but now it feels like she can't if she has to live her day without Zivanna. Darrel never imagined a world where Zivanna wasn't with him. When Zivanna says she wants to end the relationship and open up to the man who likes her, Darrel's world is about to collapse.

"I'm the one who's sorry. I can't give you certainty until it makes you worry yourself" Darrel murmured later.

Isakan Zivanna was getting to hear Darrel's voice just so soft. Now he feels really mean and selfish for thinking Darrel was just playing him.

Darrel sighed once more. He gently rubbed Zivanna's head and allowed the girl to spill all her misery. Until finally, Zivanna began to control herself again.

"So how? You still want to end our relationship?" ask Darrel.

At once Zivanna bought and hit Darrel's arm in a row. Of course Darrel just let it go while slightly thinning his lips.

"And you said it yourself" said Darrel with a slight tease.

"You said no, right?" Zivanna won't lose. He was a little annoyed and put on a sullen face. It could be that the usually flat and minimal man of this expression teases him at times like this.

"You said that yourself, why are you angry?" god Darrel again.

"Not funny, Darrel." Zivanna snorted while throwing her face the other way.

The corner of Darrel's lips slightly raised looking at Zivanna's face. Again he rubbed the head of Zivanna gently.

"I love you, Zi," murmured Darrel softly.

Zivanna's body froze instantly. Just this time he heard Darrel express his feelings.

"Zivanna, I love you. Is that what you want to hear?" darrel said again.

This time Zivanna did not stay silent. He drew closer to Darrel and was about to scatter towards the man. But then ....

"Zivanna!"

A voice that was loud enough to make Zivanna jump backwards, failing to hug Darrel. Thankfully, he was not released.

"Ma-Mama?" Zivanna muttered somewhat stammered.

"So this is what you call talking about something?" zaya asked sharply as she walked closer to Zivanna and Darrel.

"N-no, Ma. Darrel and I were just talking" Zivanna said in self-defense.

Zivanna glanced at Darrel in a somewhat panicked manner. But apparently not only did Zivanna feel that way, Darrel looked the same. But they haven't done anything yet.

Zaya folded her hands together while giving a rough breath, before finally approaching the princess.

"Lake in!" zaya's orders while dragging Zivanna away from Darrel.

Zivanna who was still in a shocked and panicked mode, could only follow the mother with resignation. But a few steps later, Zaya stopped her steps for a moment and turned her head back towards Darrel.

"You're in, too, Darrel! Do I have to tell both your parents that the conversation about your marriage was canceled?" ask Zaya to Darrel no less sharply.

"Ja-don't, Aunt. I'm entering now" said Darrel as he hurried to leave the place. He stepped quickly past Zaya and Zivanna, thus entering first into the Brylee family residence.

"Come on!" Zaya pulls back Zivanna's hand and drags her beloved daughter inside as well.

Arriving in the family room, Zaya again changed the look of her face to be soft as usual. She guided Zivanna to a seat, before she herself also sat down next to her husband. Darrel is also seen sitting between his parents.

"Have you finished talking?" ask Aaron to Zivanna.

"Yes, Pa," said Zivanna slowly. He glanced at Zaya, afraid that her mother was complaining about what was going on out there.

"What are you two talking about out there? Wouldn't it be better to talk directly here?" This time Kara, Darrel's mother asked.

"They're talking about something very important. So important, to use the language of the heart," said Zaya while glancing back sharply at Zivanna.

Darrel who heard that immediately grabbed the teacup presented before him and gulped the contents down to the toilet. Zivanna pretended to see the beast flying across her face and patted the beast. Of course, it makes Aaron and both Darrel's parents become a little confused and surprised. Honey, nobody opens their mouths to explain what's really going on out there.
