EX (SHACKLE OF FIRST LOVE)
137. Accept what it is

Anton approached Nadine when Lucky was out of the cafe area.

"Nad, what's all right, right?"

Nadine nodded, but still with a look of shock. He didn't know where to start telling Anton.

"Well, if everything is okay, I'm glad that's it. But, you didn't change your mind about our wedding plans, did you?" cananda Anton's.

Nadine pitted against the tall man by her side. "What the hell, Mas? How do you think about that?" he said while making a smile.

"I think you changed your mind after talking to Lucky in four eyes."

Nadine has a faint smile. "Gak, Mum. Now I can't be the same as you."

"Yes, just ask, Nad."

"You knew from the beginning, didn't you, that I couldn't give you offspring?" Nadine thought about testing Anton's answer even though she already knew the facts about him now.

"Yes, why?"

"You don't mind that, Mom?"

"Nad, if I object to that, there's no way I'd make the same choice as you. Anyway, we already have Elara. We can raise him together."

"So, you don't want to have offspring from me later, Mas?"

"Yes, if that's the case .. there is a desire, Nad. But from the beginning we already know the consequences and capacity of each of us, right? Well, that means I won't ask for what you won't be able to give. That simple."

Nadine looked at Anton with a sting. "Thank you, yeah, Mom. You always accept me" he said.

"Hmm, you also accept me even though I'm still pioneering, Nad."

Anton clasped Nadine's fingers together and returned the woman's gaze equally.

"Keep, if I could get pregnant, what would you do, Mas?"

Anton looked at Nadine with a strange look.

"This, yes, Nad .. I don't want to suppose that it actually makes me so expect something out of bounds. I don't want to have big expectations about it, because it will make both of us hurt later. So, from now on, I .. you .. avoid imagining something that leads to a mortal hope. We accept each other is more than enough, no need to be added with "if this is' or 'if it is'," he said at length.

Nadine let out a long sigh, then without a word she leaned her head inside the chest of the man's field.

"I feel very lucky to have you, Mas" said the woman in her position.

While Anton, he must feel at war with himself, return Nadine's embrace or just stay quiet and accept. The thing is, this is the first skinship between them. That is, more than holding hands.

For this, Anton's heart beats hard. He believes Nadine leaning there can hear the sound of his heart that is like a drum played with agility.

"Mass?" Nadine looked up at the man who died.

"Yes-yes?" Anton raked.

"You're so funny, anyway, Mas. Like a big new kid who never hugged a girl," said Nadine while holding amused, she did hear the sound of Anton's heart like a drum to war.

"Ah, i-yes, Nad."

"Yes, what?" nadine asked Anton again despite not being reciprocated by the man with the same treatment, Nadine understood the man's shy attitude. "Yes, if you forget what it's like to be hugged by a girl, huh?" seduce the woman.

"Nad, not repulsive, but at the end of there-Sky same Yara ngetawain us."

Nadine immediately chuckled, but urung took off her hand which was linked to the back of Anton's back. "Where? Let it be, anyway they're not our fuss, Mas. I'm sure they're just laughing at you, so you give me a hug back, try!"

Again Anton endured the shame of his lover's temptation. With hesitation, he also wrapped his hands on Nadine's slender body and in fact, it felt very fitting, like Nadine was indeed paired for him.

Anton felt very comfortable in his position. But unfortunately, just wanted to soak in the moment, Nadine had hunted to make distance between them. Inevitably, Anton immediately released his embrace unwillingly.

"Udah first, save for tomorrow-tomorrow," said Nadine as she chuckled.

Anton until thinning his lips then sighed heavily. There's no comment. Only in his heart did he curse loudly because he was the one who embraced Nadine. Ah, no, that woman teased him earlier.

...~~~...

Feeling mature enough in the economy. Anton and Nadine finally fly to the woman's hometown. The plan is they want to ask for blessing to both parents Nadine.

Of course Nadine has told a lot about the man who wants to marry her. Although too soon and not even a year from his separation with Lucky, in fact Nadine's parents agreed to his son's decision.

For them, Nadine's happiness is the main thing, the important thing is this second man is a good man and can already accept Nadine as she is.

It was enough that they had heard of the suffering of their youngest daughter. So, by marrying Nadine a second time later, it shows that the woman has moved on and can forget her bad past.

"Same mother I bless you both, son." Bu Yayuk represented the answer of her husband - who handed him the kind answer - who was more articulate.

"If you need any help, regarding your marriage, don't hesitate to tell the family yes, Nduk."

"Thankfully we just have to pick up the blessing of the Father and Mother, we also expect the presence of the family at our wedding later" said Anton wisely.

"Yo wis to, le. Mother is the same important father you both like, like and happy inner birth. About Nadine's shortcomings how, do you know, le?"

Anton nodded. "Yes, Mom. From the beginning I knew. Besides, I'm not expecting any descent from Nadine, I want to tie Nadine down because she's my woman of choice no matter what."

"Father please, your words today can be held, yes, son. Don't be a boomerang or a reason to split up later."

"Yes, Sir. For me, the boy is a bonus. If God allowed us to have children then our marriage was arranged to get the bonus, but if not, I could not have demanded God's decision because from the beginning I already knew Nadine's condition. After all, I also already have a child that we can raise together and be a complement to our happiness," said Anton made both parents Nadine satisfied with the answer.

After getting blessing, Anton and Nadine did not go home that day because both parents still miss Nadine's daughter.

Nadine also shows a room for Anton. Not to forget Nadine introduced Anton to her two brothers and their partner.

"This is Mas Dodi, my Mbakyu husband, Mas."

Anton also met Nadine's brother-in-law.

"Well, this is my sister, Mas. Ma'am Nada, he's Mas Dodi's wife."

"How are you, Ma'am?" greet Anton kindly.

"Well, healthy, especially horrors you want to get married added my seneng," replied Nada semringah.

Anton also chuckles, it turns out Nadine's family is not as scary as her expectations. He thought he would be greeted with a stiff attitude, in fact they were all friendly.

"This is Madam Nadhifa, and that's her husband Mas Herman."

"Hi, bro. Welcome to our family" said Herman. He is the cutest of them all and also quickly mingles.

After chatting and getting closer to Nadine's extended family. Anton and Nadine drive around the village on their ontel bike from Nadine's father.

The old bike in Anton's goes all the way to a vast garden with a stretch of tea trees.

"It's a good view of the village here, yes, Nad."

"This is what often makes me miss going home, Mas."

"Yes, definitely. I feel right here" said Anton.

Nadine laughed softly. "I'm heavy, aren't I, Mas?" ask him on another topic.

"What weight?"

"Yes you know I ride a bike, isn't it heavy?"

"Obviously, skinny gini you, where there's a weight like me," Anton said.

Nadine chuckles, but their story is interrupted by hearing the jolts and yel-yelan of village children passing by a crowd.

"Milk man! Crazy fellow!" The boys sang his mock song as if it was someone they were sprinkling dried tea leaves with.

The attention of Nadine and Anton was immediately distracted by their actions.

"Mas, what a pity, these kids are doing this, the hell." Nadine was referring to the man the children were mocking, the man was seen crouching and mobbed by the boys.

"Hey, you!" exclamation Nadine. "Go-go! Edun boy!" nadine is upset. He did not expect the children in his village to do so.

Scattered the boys because they were not afraid of the curse of Nadine, but afraid of the sharp glare of Anton's eyes which although speechless but looks scary. They immediately frowned because of the silence.

"Sir, is it okay? How do you shut up in the bully boys?" Nadine helps clean the dry leaves that fall and dirty the dull and dry hair of the woman who was stricken earlier.

Anton himself believes, women are indeed golden-hearted to want to help people with this mental disorder. Dare to be Nadine, he thought.

However, how surprised Nadine when she realized who the figure is now in front of her.

"Firda?"

The woman with mental disorder then looked at Nadine at once.

"Firda? Is this really you? Why are you being like this, Fir?" There was a soft look in Nadine's eyeballs, but she staggered as Firda pushed her body backward, fortunately Anton swiftly caught the woman's body.

Firda immediately ran away right then and there, it seems that he was too embarrassed to face Nadine, or even a disturbance in his soul that made him not remember who Nadine was.
