HAPPIER
CHAPTER 26

"Sky, I want to talk to you!" Suddenly Bery came after me on the balcony.

"Who?" Ask in a low voice.

"That's Bery yeah, Sky? Give her the phone, brother wants to talk."

Too late, sister Nindi has already heard the voice of Bery. I handed my phone straight to Bery, he hesitated to take it.

"Sir Nindi." My words answered his doubts.

"Hello Nin, assalamu'alaikum." Bery slightly moved away to the outer corner of the balcony then leaned his stomach on the perimeter railing.

"Wa'alaikum greetings sister-in-law."

"Not yet, still a candidate!"

"Yes, the sister-in-law means."

Even though the phone is not in loudspeaker mode, but their conversation can still be heard because I deliberately approached and leaned against the wall on the right side of the balcony where Bery was.

"So...?"

"So. that's Nin. Everything just happened, me and Sky couldn't dodge my father's request, sorry!"

I don't understand why Bery should apologize.

"Don't think Ber, you believe in destiny don't you? Sky would not have been moved to follow you this far if it had not been for being so determined. Maybe this is also the answer to your joke, real soul mate. Hahaha.." brother Nindi laughed loudly across the street. I don't know how funny it is.

"So you're sincere if your beloved sister I take it?" Bery asked while looking at me. I was like a thief who was caught eavesdropping on their conversation. I could only stroke my nape then throw my gaze at the tip of my toe.

"Ikhlas.ikhlas. I'm so happy, my best friend is now going to level up to become a brother-in-law. Not really expecting, even though I have been secretly wanting your soul mate, uh. Thank goodness."

"Thanks yah Nin, I used to get your umi and abi affection, now get your sister too." Bery said with a small smile, he turned back to me.

"No, I thank you. Just go with the choice that scars you the most, because that's the one that is going to help you grow. You know what I mean, Ber?"

"I see, thanks a lot, Nin."

"It's OK, baby! I used to be well, I'm the same as Fachri again there is business, give my greetings to the family there. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikum salutations."

Finally their chatter ended as well, my face was already heating up from just now hearing every word spoken by Bery, while he relaxed.

"Eeekkkkhhmmm..." Bery cleared his throat then turned to me after a while only being silent after his chatter was cut off with Nindi's sister.

"Is your decision unanimous, Sky?"

I stared at his net, looking for doubt there as he questioned my decision.

"Yes, my decision is complete. How about yourself?"

"You know, you know for yourself that if I never thought about getting married, it would just be a burden to me. I don't like to be arranged by anyone, I don't like to depend on anyone and I don't want to spend my time just taking care of the kitchen and the mattress. At least that's what I've been thinking all along. Not to mention my past. You already know, don't you? Are you sure you can accept me like this? Aren't you going to feel disgusted when you touch me later? I'm not unlike old stuff..."

"Enough! I don't care!!!" I said to interrupt Bery who just keeps pouting his shortcomings.

"Stop judging yourself. How many sinners end up being good people? How many saints have become sinners? The ship sank not because of the water around it, but sank because of the water that entered it. Just like you, don't let the negativity around you get into your mind, it'll just destroy you."

"Why? Why would you sacrifice yourself, Sky?" Ask in a low voice.

Bery looked at me with a frown. Maybe he didn't believe what I just said or maybe he doubted his hearing.

"What if one day you get bored and are no longer interested in me?"

"Why are you asking like that?" I looked at him straight.

"Because you might be attracted to me because you feel there are still many things you don't know about me. What if you knew me as a whole, would you still be interested in me? I don't think this relationship will be long because I'm no longer attractive to you."

"People learn, people change and move on! Every one of us is going to turn into something new. Not overall, but there will definitely be new things that change throughout our lives. Changes in gray hair, for example." I replied accordingly.

"Do I have to say WOW, Sky? You're getting wiser and talkative now."

"Whatever, now you still have a chance to retreat. Marrying me means forever. If someday you find someone you love and love you and want to get away from me, I will not hold you back, but never think I will say the word talaq to you. To me, you are my wife forever."

Bery kept looking at me and reluctantly cut off eye contact with me.

"Once again I have to say WOW, Sky. But fine. You take it easy, I have the intention of getting married just no Sky, let alone want to marry and continue to marry again. Thank you for being willing to help me. You are willing to give me the status of a wife that is enough to help me. I hope you have a stock of patience that will not run out until death picks me up because I am not a patient person, Sky."

"We'll see how patient I am with you." Challenged him.

How do I know and how does he know if he doesn't try. My welcome in my heart.

"And you need to remember, Sky. I can't be like you who so easily express her interest. I can't promise to fall in love with you, but if you can make me fall in love, I'll be happy to do it, especially if falling in love is with my husband. Unfortunately my heart has been petrified for a long time, I don't know if you can melt it or not."

"Trust me, someday you will regret why you did not marry me, so love you to me" I said as I folded my hands on my chest.

"You're so confident, Sky!" Bery laughs at me.

"You're more in everything than me, even older, so I should also be able to have something I can be proud of in front of you, and I think my current capital is just that, too, my confidence." I said I don't want to lose.

"Okay.oke.you won Sky. I really didn't expect you to be this fancy. I used to be horrified if I had a husband model You Sky, but it turns out my guess is wrong, you're not a broken TV, now there are pictures and there are sounds."

"meaning?" I don't understand what he means to call me a broken TV.

"No, forget! I'm just kidding." He did not want to explain further.

Actually I'm still curious, but I will definitely ask again after she officially becomes my wife later. I promise I will continue to look for new things from him so as not to diminish my interest in him.

Not felt, we have stood long enough in the Balcony. Even the night air feels more piercing the pores. For me, tonight's talk is enough.

"Is there anything you want to ask? Otherwise, I'd like to say goodbye to mom and dad to get back to the hotel." I asked after a long time we were silent to each other looking at the same moon.

I did check in at a nearby hotel after the maghrib prayer. The hotel is right in front of the hospital.

"Abi and Umi know what yet?"

Degs..

Degs..

Degs..

Again and again my heart wants to jump out of its place, not asked that question it's been beating my heart was not because of, now it's even getting into a shock.

What do I have to answer?
