Call Me Isha
62. Ngerusuhin Proposal

           Fill your head after this morning almost all about the man's shadow. Not that I have not forgotten just that, the manager who himself has continues to harass about the former.

The taste of the roast meat as well, the romantic atmosphere that I rarely taste due to the density of the schedule feels bland. It should have been an impromptu reunion not realized.

"Thank you like?"

My head looked up, looking at the lover I had been dating since three years ago.

The two baby gray colored long earrings that were matching the dress I was wearing swayed as my head shook.

"Like it, thanks for the time."

"certain."

Just for information, Arik. My lover has been in the world of cinema since graduating from high school until, in recent years, his name, famous for his talent and a capable face.

"Invitation wallets?" asked Arik, cutting the meat.

"Yes." Yeah."

Our eyes intertwined before Arik broke up with his words. "You want to attend?"

Smile imprinted, one of my hands held one cheek and stared fixedly at the handsome man.

"Jealous?"

Laughter caught by the eardrum, Arik put food in and chewed for a while before replying.

"Think."

"Relatedly? In addition to your deket friends at High School. He's my ex, too."

"Certain why? Just an ex, right?" He wiped his lips using a tissue. "Unless you still have a taste. Maybe there I'll be hurt."

I giggled at the face of Arik Kak who was deliberately made as sad as possible.

"Keep your drama in the right place. I'm just kidding." Give pause. "For me, it's just a monkey's love."

"Yes, but your story of High School time is quite interesting. Fortunately it ended sad ending."

"Kok profit?"

"If you're happy ending, now your boyfriend isn't me."

"You're right, but if a soul mate isn't going anywhere."

Netra captures all the motion created by Arik, the head continues to tell the mouth to open the sound but feels heavy in the heart.

"What did you say? Just say it."

As usual, the man with a million charms managed to make the heart happy because of the sensitivity he had.

"Your relationship is good?"

"Same Raefal?" the question made sure that I gave a nod. "Well, we also occasionally exchange messages."

Unexpectedly, it now felt as if I was the only one who had a problem with the past.

"That's awkward? Equivalent, now that we're dating, she's my ex."

Brother Arik laughed, as if to consider my speech a silly joke that is not synchronized with reality.

"Why should it be awkward?" He asked back. "You're the one I got away the day after the break up. And, he's got another one too."

I nodded, confirming that fact. It is undeniable that if I feel strange, it is possible that I have started a new page or am still at that point.

"Dear."

I do not know how long I daydream until, did not pay attention to Brother Arik who has now knelt beside the chair I was sitting on while showing off a ring contact.

I stood up shocked. "Sister!"

"Flo, I think it's time we got serious."

Exhaling, I lead Arik to return to his seat.

"Is it too fast? Given that we're at the peak of our careers."

Disappointment dominates my lover's face. "Well, when else? Don't get tired playing hide and seek the media?"

"You proposed to me because of Raefal's sister, didn't you?" my tent is trying to stay calm.

"Fuck!"

Although it was not a clash, the heavy call with eyes full of anger was enough to make me shrink for a few seconds.

"You just don't want to lose to him?" accuse me again.

"It's about us. Why did you take his name?" One corner of her lips she pulled. "Or, actually. Your heart still belongs to him, so just inget him?!"

Folds forehead, narrowed eyes stare at Kak Arik sharply. "You accuse me!"

"reality! I want to talk about our relationship being direction-blind but, you're taking her. So you're actually still hoping to reverse it?"

I fell silent, remembering that this debate was clearly an inviting one.

"Yes---" I twisted the brain as hard as I could. "Because you proposed to me when he went to that level. I immediately thought of it."

"Good! You directly said that you thought of him."

"Sorry, I'm getting emotional. I was just shocked when you applied, sorry babe."

Arik's sister dropped my butt over her thigh, then her hands slowly wrapped around her waist.

"I'm also sorry for being rude." Spacing. "Actually, it's been a long time to want to apply even in front of parents but only now it's done, sorry."

"That's a problem."

Brother Arik's palm framed my entire face. "So you want to be my wife?"

I don't know why I'm silent now, as if thinking of something that I don't know for sure.

"Flo?"

I awkwardly nodded that was replied with a smile before Kak Arik, he kissed my forehead while tucking in the words of love.

             The good intentions of Arik who was said yesterday were not mere babbling, evidence of seriousness was seen when without a second aba his parents visited the house with the intention of asking me.

"Reply replied Sha. I've been waiting for it," whispered Orlin right in front of the ears because, I was too long silent after the sacred invitation was thrown.

The first moment I lifted my head was to look at the hopeful leave of Arik and his entourage, then changed to my parents who smiled soothingly.

Worrying about what I feel, I should be happy now but my heart feels heavy to decide.

"Assalamu'alaikum."

My answer was no longer interesting, the whole head chose to turn to look at the figure who was without burden present with a wide smile.

"Son Raefal!"

I was astonished when Papa stood up, receiving greetings from my ex before chatting with each other as if the two were close when, once when we were teenagers I knew that Papa did not like him at all.

"Sorry Om, get an invitation. Don't know if there's an important guest" the man's reason.

"Hi Zimra!" sapa Lova excitedly approached her best friend.

"Oh god! It's me actually at Flo's house!" peeking Zimra looked around in disbelief. "Crazy! It's like a dream!"

While everyone was laughing, Orlin poked my shoulder before whispering a few words that further shattered the mood.

"Sha, maybe you don't know that Raefal's coming to Lamar now?"

"Silent Orlin" I whispered.

"Hi Bro!"

Then, as if the answer to the application had never been anticipated, everyone was cool to welcome uninvited guests even to my own lover.

"Lin, what shame does he have? Dateng to the former house continued to riot at the application ceremony. Thought cool what," my lips are certainly soft and only heard by the woman.

"His intention was to give him an invitation. Relax, he really does mean lamar too. So you need to be annoyed about that."

I noticed the figure of Raefal Brother sitting next to my lover, sharing words with the elders and interspersed with laughter.

"Then, what if our reception is together."

The drink running along his throat forcefully came out, hearing Brother Raefal propose a pretty terrible idea. No stories of former shared reception venues.

"Seru too! Surely our High School Alumni will be very excited, especially you were once the most phenomenal couple."

The two men were indeed old friends but, what strange brains they should also be the same.

"Okey, we're all joint ventures. It's very economical."

The reason it was issued by Brother Raefal, was quite ludicrous to be heard indeed.

"If there's money, there's no need for marriage" I said in my heart.

"Khem!"

I deliberately cleared my throat, not wanting the discussion to continue. Whichever joint venture with the former, my money is more than enough to hold a lavish party even thousands of times.

"Sorry to interrupt, but I don't want to share a party with a stranger."

Emphasizing the last two words, want to see the reaction of the former who turned out to be just flat.

"So, did you actually accept the proposal?" ask Arik to make sure.

Checkmate, I'm the one who's dead flea now. Stared with curiosity moreover, the former who did the same thing.

It only happens to me, the former comes at the time of the proposal but there is no phenomenal feud.

"Flo?"

One slow nod from me became the answer, causing the sentence to be spoken from every mouth.

Instead of looking shyly at the prospective husband, the eyes are more interested in stealing a glance toward Brother Raefal.

My only reason for seeing Raefal's reaction was because, he came to the former's application, of course. Just that, I've moved on a long time ago.
