Athena
I'm Willing

Late at night, Athena still looked at the ring in her palm. The same ring, given by Raga a few months ago as a sign of her seriousness in their relationship. For almost 8 years they have been in love, giving each other support, giving each other affection in a gray relationship, not as lovers. They just live it as it should, until it comes to the stage where Raga really asks Athena to be a part of her life. The drama continues, where Athena's doubts about herself just appear, until it takes a long time then she solidifies her heart to start life with Raga.

Satisfied looking at his ring, he put it back in its place, and put it in the nightstand drawer. He slept on his back while staring at the ceiling of his room. Sleepiness comes by itself, until the girl is sound in her sleep.

✨✨✨

Athena was ready with her casual clothes on, her unraveling hair made her look so beautiful.

While waiting for Raga, he told his mommy if today he would give an answer to Raga's proposal a moment ago.

Mommy Al's

Whatever your answer, mommy is always with you, supporting all your decisions, wishing you the best. Hugging away from mommy. Mommy is waiting for the answer.

Athena smiled at the reply to a short message from her mommy. Alda is a figure that is so warm, able to make people feel comfortable and safe while in his arms.

"It's really happy" said Raga, who was standing looking at Athena.

Athena looks up.

"Have you come?" ask her with her face.

Raga chuckles.

"Udah. Yuk"

Athena stood up from her seat, following Raga to her car.

"Where are you going?" ask Raga.

"To a beautiful place" answered Athena ambiguously.

"The full address where is The?"

"To your apartment" replied Athena.

"Alright Mrs. Mahendra Arunika"

Athena chuckled at Raga's words.

"Ga, I'm gonna make some cake. Can you stop by the minimarket first?"

"Byeah, The." answered Raga.

Raga then stopped her car in front of the minimarket. She entered Athens with the minimarket.

"You still like my steamed balls, don't you?" ask Athena.

"Always like it, The"

"well okay. I made him that one" said Athena.

"Make whatever you like."

After shopping for ingredients to make a cake, they went back to the Raga apartment. As usual Raga would embrace Athena's shoulder as they were together, or at least the man would hold Athena's hand.

"I'm staying at work, isn't it okay?" ask Raga.

Athena who was taking out the ingredients of the cake nodded.

"Yes, it's okay. There work, collect money for marriage"

Raga chuckled faintly at Athena's words.

"Of course, miss. You will work hard to make money and immediately invite you to be a wife" Raga kissed Athena on the forehead before leaving the kitchen area.

Athena cheerfully began to claw and mix the ingredients of the cake. He sings very softly, following the song he plays on his phone.

Athena's intention to make a steamed sponge changed, she made a cake so that it could be decorated at will. He wrote the name Raga on one of the cakes, also drawing cartoon anime that he could.

Athena also made orange juice for Raga and brown ice for herself. He certainly did not forget to clean the kitchen and the equipment he used earlier. Then he went to the family room and sat next to Raga.

Raga quickly awaits her iMac, and embraces Athena's shoulder.

"Funny cake really fun" said Raga when he saw several cakes with different decorations in front of him.

"For the mood for the cute heheh" said Athena.

"Can I have a taste now?" ask Raga.

"Sure" replied Athena.

"How's it feel?" ask Athena.

"Always good" answered Raga.

Raga felt a hard object in the cake while biting her.

"Why?" ask Athena.

Without answering, Raga took the thing. A ring he was very familiar with.

"What do you mean?" ask Raga.

"It means I accept your proposal" replied Athena.

"Are you sure?"

Athena nodded.

"Yes, of course. I am ready, sir. I am willing to be your life partner" replied Athena.

Raga immediately hugged Athena, she was very happy. Finally Athena gave her answer, the answer she had been waiting for all this time. This great girl who was in his arms was willing to be his life companion.

"I'll repeat again. Athena Mahendra Arunika, Will you marry me?" ask Raga.

Athena chuckles.

"I Will" he answered.

Raga was finally able to attach the ring she bought to Athena's ring finger.

"thank you. Thank you infinitely" said Raga.

Athena wiped her tears that had fallen.

"I should have said thanks. Thank you for fighting and waiting for me all this time. Thank you for being a friend and friend to me" Athena said.

Raga kissed Athena's forehead long enough.

"Let's take a picture, make it send to the family" Raga immediately picked up her phone.

Athena chuckles. He took a picture with the pose of Athena showing the ring on her ring finger.

The notification tone began to be heard on Athena's phone, it was a sign that Raga had sent the photo to their families.

Raga also makes it a feed in her i* app with She said "YESS" .

"That's a hell of a thing" Athena said when her phone notification still didn't stop.

"That's a good sign, The. The sign is they're happy about this."

"You happy too?"

"I am the happiest of course. Very happy, infinity" replied Raga.

"I'm going to go to your house with mom and dad, propose to you officially in front of your extended family" Raga said.

"That means you're going back to town A?" ask Athena.

"Yes, our parents are all there, The. Or are you coming home?"

"May be the weekend. You see SP 1 I came out yesterday" replied Athena with a soft ring on her face.

"Ehh, is it?"

"Hooh, Ga. Get free lectures also from Mr. Andika. I was wrong too."

"You're gonna keep working?" ask Raga.

"Is it okay if I work?"

"Well, that's okay. I'm sure you can run everything well." Raga stroked Athena's hair.

"Ayra can come with us?"

"Yes, it's okay. We take care of Ayra together"

Athena kissed Raga's cheeks at a glance, then leaned her head against the man's chest.

"I don't know what the future will be like, but I hope we will both fight to always be together, unite two large families and always be there for all conditions" said Athena.
