Along the way to Azura's house, Ardi looked dazed.
Married huh?
Is it time now?
Oh Allah..... I never thought that day would finally come...
Ardi rubbed his suddenly tense face.
Tense the moment suddenly as intense as the memory of a face without a telephoto veil.
" I used to see it without a face mask, but where does that memory go... How could I forget!!"
Mumbled.
Right adzan Maghrib Ardi arrived in front of Azura's house.
The new Azura who was about to close the curtains immediately opened the door.
" Want to pray to the mosque first or enter?" Ask Azura.
" To the mosque first.." Ardi replied, his hand took off the helmet and handed it to Azura.
" Later passing by the side of the mas, the door of the living room is a bit drag, like to get stuck.." Zura said again.
" Ohh, jeez. I'll go to the mosque first..." Pamit Ardi's.
Azura was reading the Quran as usual when Ardi entered through the side door of Azura's house. Ardi looked at the girl who was wrapped in the face, so soothing.
His voice is so melodious.Indeed is not a new one when every Maghrib is heard chanting holy verse. At home they always do.
Different is his feeling at the moment.
The silent house contained only the two of them, the couple who stayed waiting was turned over.
His heart thumped as Azura approached him.
" Have you had dinner?" Azura asked with her quick hands folding her prayer mat.
" Haven't..." Answer Ardi slowly.
" Yes already come, Zu was cooking opor chicken want to?"
" Would you.." Reply Ardi followed Azura's steps into the kitchen.
" Zu, in this house it's just the two of us, you don't want to open your veil?" Ask Ardi.
"Hemmmm, why?. You're curious mas?If in the supermarket we take things as we like, but do we dare to open them before paying for them, at least after the cashier can open them" said Azura.
The girl's hand skillfully poured water into the glass, then took the plate and filled the rice and side dishes for Ardi.
" Want to do it again?" Zura asked as he scooped the chili to Ardi's plate.
" That's enough, I'll be able to add more.." Ardi replied with a constant look at Azura.
Azura smiled in her veil. Ardi is a very good person. Despite his slengean liking, his words were not filtered, but he was really a polite young man. During their relationship, even though they have been blessed, there is never any behavior that is out of bounds.
Ardi really is a young man who has good ethics.
" Zu, I'm graduating in two weeks.. Are you ready yet?" Ask Ardi in between his chews.
" How about asking Zu, who graduated are you?"
" Yes, uh that...You're su.su..."
Ardi was suddenly attacked by an incredible nervous system. Talking about this topic without anyone else feels like it.
Apparently not only Ardi, but Azura now feels dag dig dug serr...
" Milk?, me?, what milk?" Azura asked confusedly.
Ardi looked into those beautiful eyes, trying to dig up some courage.
" You're ready to marry, aren't you Zu?, didn't I promise you after graduation.." Ardi said next.
" Mmm, that's.that's it. whatever.." Azura replied in a voice that faltered from pounding.
" What is my question?, I have no opinion. All I'm asking is that you're ready to get married or not, baby..." Ardi was amused to hear what Azura answered, while he asked what.
" Ohh, that.mak. Emmm, let Zura think.." Azura replied embarrassedly.
" Your time of thinking is so past, baby, we've had a year more fiancee. Answer it now!, ready or not!!" Ardi Urge.
" Yes..." Azura replied softly, very softly.
" Yes what?" Urge Ardi, this young man is very hobby to tease Azura if the girl is shy like gini.
" Ckk.., here Zu bribe!, eating from earlier is not reduced.."
The embarrassed Azura immediately switched the topic.
" Sstttt, do not run away from the topic!!, Azura Paramita Pramudya bint Rahman Pramudya you are ready to marry me this despicable..." Ardi grasped Azura's hand who was thrusting a spoon filled with rice and chicken in front of Ardi's face.
" Yes, Zu's ready..." Azura said getting lower.
" But, before that, you have to look at me first, so that no one is disappointed at the end.." Azura.
" Are you ready to look at me?, "Azura looked at Ardi's eyes with a sense of anxiety, afraid when Ardi did not like the face behind the veil.
Fear if there is a shape of the face, lips or nose that is not liked by Ardi. Azura was very afraid when the love that had grown in her heart had to be extinguished by Ardi's rejection when she saw his face later.
But this must be, when men have dared to propose to veiled girls, then the girl can also show what is hidden on the men, so that no one feels aggrieved or cheated.
" After this, all decisions are with you, whether to continue or decide. Zura Iklas born and inner..." Azura's greeting with trembling hands started towards but the veil that was tied behind her head.
Ardi was silent without words, he himself was also not too aware of what was happening at the moment.
The cloth had slumped down, Zurapun's nose stem had been partially visible.
" No..no Zu, don't!!, close again. I don't need to see it now. Close Zu again, I'll open it myself after our wedding" Ardi said nervously.
" Ahh, I'm hungry.." Ardi who was pounding so violently it immediately grabbed the white water in the glass that Azura poured a moment ago.
Glue.glek..
With a single sip, Ardi was able to finish that full glass of water.
A cold sweat was now pouring from his forehead.
Come die me!!, just look at the trunk of his nose doang...
My trunk is twitching like this..
Sshhh, it is not good that Azura's decrees before they are legitimate!!, can be ensnared by demons if this is so.
Home!!, Ardi.cepet home....
Before the demons attack..
Ardi cried in the heart.
" hey, emmm. Zu's...After graduation, papa and I will go to Jogja and apply you to grandfather.." Ardi.
Azura just nodded obediently. In his heart he was grateful to get a great man like Ardi.
By refusing to see him just now, Azura already knew very well who this Ardi was.
Ardiansyah Syakieb Al Ghifari, the young man who stole his attention from the beginning of their meeting.
The young man who loved Bianca very much, gave half his monthly allowance to finance Bianca's needs, from milk to the press.
Youth who are willing not to be divided bonus fist results when Bianca must start entering Kindergarten school.
The young man who was willing to spend his entire tube for the comfort of Bianca. And more importantly, Ardi never bothered to ask papa Syakieb for money to meet the needs of Bianca so far.
" Well, come home...." Pamit Ardi's.
" Mmmm, come on.." Azura said slowly.
Degggh...
I die..
How's this??
Duh don't wait Zu..
" There's something to discuss Zu.., hemm?" Ask Ardi quickly.
" That, Bian's bedroom lamp seems to break the cord, it's been two dark nights..."
Die me
Can't be Ardi!!!, don't enter the room
It was dark for two nights...
You're not her husband's candidate..
No!!, cannot be
Black demons and angels are fighting each other in Ardi's brain at this time. Ardi was confused as to how. Obviously Bianca's business is the one in charge.
But...
It's night time, alone again. No!!, just tomorrow.
" Mmm, tomorrow, baby, I don't feel good going into a girl's room this evening.."
" Ahhh, astaghfirullah. Forgive Zura mas.., he means Zura-"
" Yes Zu. Don't feel bad. InsyaAllah mas here again tomorrow..."
" God go home, baby.., Assalamualaikum..Oh yeah, why hasn't Bian come home yet?"
" Bian's staying at the brothy Marvel house, Sunny's got a new PS, the kid's still not tired of playing.." Complain Azura.
" So??, you're alone baby?" Ardi felt bad leaving Azura alone.
" No papa, it's normal too.."
" Wait a minute, baby, there's a time for you and me. It will be us. Be patient...." Ardi said with interspersed with his laughter that was always crisp.
