Call Me a Rose
Chapter 72

Diara chose to go inside and let Jelita enjoy her time with her special guests.

Jelita ventured to open the door. Jelita could hardly believe the figure standing in front of her. It really feels like a dream.

"Assalamualaikum.", Farid again said his greetings as soon as the Rose opened the door for him.

"Walaikum in Mas Farid, let's go in.Sorry my house is just this simple..."

"Your house is good, still a model village, but quite large and clean", praise Farid honestly.

Jelita just smiled. Inwardly feel grateful because his men really cleaned his house well.

"Wait a minute Mas Farid, I'll make you drink first..."

Jelita went inside immediately. But what makes a drink and a snack is not himself, but Diara. Jelita came out carrying a tray containing warm tea and fried bananas cryspi.

"There are still many roses, you should not bother..."

"No hassle Mas Farid, we should entertain guests, right? Come on, drink it..."

Farid took a sip of the warm tea that was sitting on the table, then picked up the fried banana and started biting it.

"I didn't expect that Mas Farid actually came to my hometown..."

"Why don't you think, I told you I wanted to come, so I'd keep my promise unless there was a reason that wasn't possible..."

A moment of silence. Both Jelita and Farid momentarily busied themselves by chewing food. Actually Jelita wanted to ask about the intention of Farid's arrival. But Jelita was afraid of being mistaken for disrespectful and overly hopeful.

"So, what's your busy life at home all this time?"

Farid opened the conversation with pleasantries.

"Not busy Mas, at most just mengurusin kebon just clean-clean-ja..."

Farid nodded in response to Jelita's reply.

"Aren't you going back to the Rose capital?"

"Not knowing Mas Farid, I'm still confused. There or here I have no family anymore..."

"Can't I be your reason for returning to the capital?"

"What do you mean Farid?"

"You know what I mean, I have more feelings for you.and it turns out that the distance and time that separates us don't make my feelings change...What rose do you want to marry me?"

Suddenly Farid knelt down while holding a jewelry box containing a beautiful ring.

Jelita was fixated, unprepared with Farid's treatment that was too sweet and beyond her expectations.

"Mas Farid, is this not too sudden, we even just met after a few months of no communication at all..."

"Yes, this is sudden..."

Farid then began to tell me about the reason for proposing the Rose in a short time. Farid told me about his mother who had been sick until then his mother had a request that he get married soon.

"So the reason Mas Farid proposed to me was because of Mom's request?"

Ask the Roses later.

"Yes, actually I have no plans to get married in the near future.but when Mom asks me to get married somehow the only thing that happens is you even though we haven't seen each other for a long time..."

Finally Jelita found out why Farid had suddenly proposed to her.

"Actually I want to come directly here to see you, but it turns out my mother even catch a cold. If I spend time, fearing you will think I was just playing around and breaking promises, so I finally broke up to keep coming even by myself.", explained Farid later.

"No Papa Mas Farid, anyways pity Mas Farid's mother if far here..."

"So how? Did you accept my proposal?"

Jelita only realized that Farid had still extended his hand holding a jewelry box.

Jelita seemed to think before finally answering.

"Please love me when Mas Farid, there is something I need to explain to Mas Farid before I give you an answer. Next week, I'm going to the capital to meet Mas Farid, I'll call you at the office..."

"In the office?"

"Yes in the office, Mas Farid still works at GAYA Corp, right?"

"Yes, ok Rose I wait for the answer immediately..."
