DISPUTE OF HEART
The proposal?

The dinner this time felt a little tense for Asha, the problem is now that Asha is dealing with the nuclear family of Abhimanyu, there is also a father Abhimanyu Mother. In particular, Asha was invited to dinner at the Abhimanyu residence without Asha expecting.

Abhimanyu's father and mother were sitting across from Asha with a soft smile on their lips, Asha was unable to interpret what kind of smile they were displaying.

“We are so happy because Nak Asha is willing to visit our humble home” Mom starts the word with an unrelenting smile adorning her lips.

“Ah, I feel happy because I was invited to dinner with Om and Auntie” Asha returned the smile with no less gentle.

The atmosphere of the family that seemed so intimate makes Asha also miss the warm family atmosphere as when he was a child, since both parents died, the atmosphere of eating like this has never existed again, he said, when married to Briyan, maybe Asha can feel the warmth of the embrace and warm attitude of parents from Mamih and Papih, but still, still, the dining table is not as warm now because it used to be the presence of Briyan which made the atmosphere become gripping.

Asha looks beautiful in a dress and a matching hijab, making both Abhimanyu parents endlessly praise her.

“Nak Asha is very beautiful, similar to Mom when she was young” Daddy glanced at Mother who is now waving her hands in the air, smiling shyly and then immediately low.

“Dad, what the hell? Of course Nak Asha the prettier” Mother again chuckles amusedly.

“Haha, sorry Sha, Dad and Mom are often joking” now Abhimanyu chimed in, the man who now looks so charming was sitting next to Asha, facing the dining table which is now full of dinner menus that although simple but so appetizing.

“Let's taste Nak Asha, this happens to be all the Mothers who cook, may Nak Asha like” Dad please, until Asha nods to receive a banquet from the owner of the house.

Dinner occurs in tranquility, occasionally there is a joke tone thrown by Father or Mother, then responded Asha or Abhimanyu with a smile, really warm family dinner dreams Asha.

After dinner, they move to the living room, with drinks and snacks now back in the treat in front of Asha, making Asha feel sad and not good.

“Nak Asha, please taste, this potato chips made by Ibu lho” Ibu Abim again showed off his ability in cooking, making Asha smile.

“Thanks Auntie” Asha nods her head.

Small talk again occurred between them, until Abim's father again raised his voice, asked Asha about something that made Asha a dilemma.

“Before Om apologizes, if the question Om makes Nak Asha uncomfortable” there is a pressing tone there, to make Asha become a little tense after a little quiet. Abim who was now sitting in front of Asha looked at Asha's face with a sweet smile.

“I Yes Om, what is it?” Asha looked at the old face before him, thinking about the language that the father of Abhimanyu would speak.

“Is Nak Asha currently in a serious relationship with someone?”

Already Asha guessed, the words that will be thrown, confused .. of course Asha kelabakan will answer what, considering Asha understood will end where the chatter this time.

“For the time being Asha is not tied to any serious relationship with any man Om” replied Asha honestly after weighing up many thoughts earlier.

“Ah, what a coincidence. Om does not mean to make Nak Asha uncomfortable, only Om wants to ensure the relationship between Abhimanyu son of Om and Nak Asha, what if according to Nak Asha, what if according to Nak Asha, if your friendship is tied up as a legitimate relationship, what if Abhimanyu has good intentions to propose Nak Asha?”

“Ah, Om should have gone straight to Nak Asha's family to talk about this serious matter, but ... Om does not know where to go to Nak Asha's parents, considering he said Om Nak Asha is abroad?” back Abim's father made a sound, making Asha who was still dumbstruck, now raised his head.

“Yes, Om I am still abroad” Asha nodded confirming.

“There is no need to be a burden Nak Asha, Om as a parent of Abhimanyu of course feel if Abhimanyu did like Nak Asha for a long time, that's why Om feels the obligation to express this goodwill, so that there are no misunderstandings and slander in the future”

“In fact, there is one thing that Om, Aunt, also Abim you do not know” Asha re-opened her voice after having previously had an inner war to say the painful honesty of her life.

“Ya, if you may know, is that Nak Asha?” Father asked gently again, while Mother and Abim only listened.

“In fact, I once married”

Silent

There was no sound, Abim looked the most shocked of all, while Father and Mother could only look at each other in disbelief.

“Sha?” Abim raised his face trying to stare at Asha, researching the truth of Asha's bead eyes.

“Yes, I was once married, duad” Asha lowered his head.

“When Sha? Didn't you graduate school to go abroad for your education?”

Ah ... there will be no end if you have to retell the story of Asha's life, and Asha hates if her bad past must be re-taken, removing old wounds that have not been completely dry, he said, which strong man does it?.

“A few years ago”

Asha lowered her head, schematizing the dress she was currently using.

“But Sha ..”

“Ah, well .. is not important with your past Nak Asha, the most important thing now is the future, if Abim really loves you, then Abim will accept you, please talk back about this issue by the two of you, we agree that we will support whatever your decision” Father back to voice after a few moments of silence, do not want to offend too much Asha, he said, I immediately denounced Abim's words.

“Thank you very much Om for all his kindness and wisdom” Asha was relieved by all of Abim's father's words today.

“Sama-sama Nak Asha, do not be too burdened, Om know, everything is not easy for Nak Asha”

And finally! After a long time, there are also those who understand Asha and want to say that all the roads that Asha passes are not easy.

“Tante is very understanding, sorry Aunt and Om who do not understand Nak Asha” now the middle-aged woman is speaking.

“No Aunt, thank you very much for all understanding” Asha shook her head, her throat felt choked, it felt Asha wanted to cry because she was moved also because she felt pain for all the things she had passed, she said, the trauma is still there.

Asha glanced at the man who was only staring, staring at him in disbelief, as if what Asha said was just a joke.

‘Abim? Are you going to accept me for who I am, or are you going to leave me like any other man who proposed to me?’

Happy Eid to all readers who celebrate, sorry to be born and inner.

Happy happy 🥰🥰🥰
