That night, at 11 pm, Arga put up a big tv and put some food and drinks of various kinds to accompany their night.
"Happy anniversary wedding, baby." Arga grabbed his wife's chin and kissed the soft lips long ago. Syahdu has been the most successful in-life partner for eighteen years.
Syahdu stroked her husband's cheek. A man who has sacrificed many things for his sake. Do whatever he asks. How lucky he was to have Arga in his life.
But Syahdu's pleasure that night faded as his memory drifted back to the only child. Her request that night, she had not discussed it with Arga.
Arga sat beside Syahdu, raised his legs with his wife's feet, and then he covered them. Tonight they want to watch, aka netflix and chill. Not another chill, really chill to relax.
Syahdu's blank look could be captured Arga. Indeed look his eyes forward, but Arga knows Syahdu is not watching a movie.
"What's wrong?"
Shahdu looked over, he smiled a little. "Our son has grown up..."
Hearing him made Arga laugh a little. "She once asked, why only have one child when she always sees us friendly at home."
Syahdu chuckled. "So she wants a bitch?"
"Tell ah, we're old. Let him do it himself."
"God!"
"Haha. He's a big one, baby." Arga pulled Syahdu in an embrace and leaned on the sofa. "When I was her age, I knew how women felt."
"He ain't rich, is he?" Ask Syahdu worried. Her husband used to be wild, he didn't want his son to put that down.
"Yes no. You're great at being able to educate him well. If I used to, parents were busy taking care of their business. Until I was so abandoned."
Both silent. The views are equally staring at the screen that features a romantic movie. But no one focused there.
"But Ga, that night of dinner, Arsya asked me for something."
"Sister?" Ask Arga directly.
"No, uh. What, the hell are you." His protest, and Arga giggled amusedly. "She. asked Ari's fiancee."
"Haha?" Arga sat up straight looking at his wife. Did he hear wrong? The problem is, the boy just stepped on 17 years. "Trus what did you say, honey?"
"I-I don't know, Ga. I just kept quiet, Arsya said he could take care of Ari and all sorts of things. I got dizzy." Syahdu pinched his temple, recalling Arsya's song of the night.
"Shhhh.." Arga returned to lay Shahdu's head on his chest. "So he's sure, that means serious, beib. Let's ask Tama."
"Arsya said she's been talking to Tama about it for a long time."
"Huhuh?" Again, Arga was dumbfounded. Quickly the boy, he thought.
"Surprisingly, Ari's father was happy and agreed when I called back to ask about it."
Hearing Syahdu's words, Arga chuckled. His head shook with salute to his son.
"Gaa, I'm laughing!"
"Eh, haha. Yes, sweetie. I think it's because of me, huh." Arga realized something. "That night, he asked me about the feeling of love at the age of 17. I said, if I meet you at that age, I will definitely tie and marry you. Ehh he's inspired. Haha."
"What?" Syahdu was even made more stressed, while Arga laughed happily because it had been used as an inspiration by his son.
...🍭...
One week passed, the final exam of the semester has passed Arsya who studied more accompanied by Ari. Just waiting for the result, and Arsya never worried about it. He prefers to take Ari to Lombok, where he can spend time with Ari who will return to Russia in two weeks.
Evening when the sun was not showing the heat, Arsya pulled Ari's hand running with enthusiasm. He was carrying a chocolate basket filled with food. He and Ari will have a picnic by the sea.
Alang-alang plants just crossed by Arsya. Behind him, Ari objected to the step because of the tall plants that entered the dress, also a hat that wanted to fly exposed to the sea breeze.
"Yeah, slow down, doong.." Ari cried from behind, as his hands were constantly carried away by Arsya, while one other hand held a round hat so as not to fly.
They got to the top of a cliff that was not so high. Beneath them was an uninhabited beach.
"Capeck tauu.." Ari slouched holding tight. He's having a hard time breathing because Arsya doesn't give him time off.
"Hehe. Sorry, hon. I'm so happy about it."
Ari wiped his sweat. Despite the wind, his sweat still appeared.
"Good why.." Ask the girl in the middle of her chest.
Arsya smiled, then opened the basket she had been carrying, took a white cloth mat and spread it out on the grass.
"here." Arsya opened the sandal, then sat on the mat.
Ari took off the strappy sandals that he was wearing, then came the spirit when Arsya issued the contents of the basket.
Food, drinks, novels, and small cameras.
"Would you eat first?" Bargain Arsya.
"No, ah. I'm gonna take a break..."
"Oohs. Okay. Here." Arsya slid her legs, patting her thighs that looked a little, as she wore knee-length shorts.
Ari lays her head on the man's lap, then opens the novel to read, while Arsya returns to her game world.
For a moment the atmosphere was so serene. Sunlight that hides when time has shown for him alternating with the moon, the sound of the beach waves, as well as the breezy wind make them enjoy the holiday together.
Ari dropped her novel. "Yes."
"Yes.."
Ari sat. Suddenly he thought of something disturbing.
Usually, the two parents are the most protective, especially the mother. Where could he permit her to go especially the relationship they both have become lovers.
Arsya scratched her head. Since then he has felt light. Tau-tau Ari asked this.
"Good, dong. That means they believe in us."
"It's weird.." Ari looked straight ahead. Sitting next to Arsya with faces turned back to each other.
"Ngapain in mind, baby. What matters is that we have 3 days here. You want to do it, be free." Arsya said while stroking Ari's long hair.
"Yes, anyway." Ari threw out a strange feeling in her mind. Arsya is right, he should be happy to be allowed to go both ways like this.
"Mending we kite." Arsya stood up, she tied her hair back.
"Layangan?"
Arsya pointed at the rocks down there, there was a kite that seemed to be deliberately left there.
Arsya leads Ari down. By nightfall, they are engrossed in kites on the beach. Running here and there chasing when kites are blown by strong winds and fall into the sand, to make the splash of waves hit their bodies.
His chest seemed to explode, Ari was very happy with his vacation this time. Only the two were with Arsya.
The sky was calm up there, but the thread still had to be held. Arsya who is behind Ari gives instructions when to stall and pull the thread so that the kite remains flying.
"I was the first kite. Yaa yaa." Said the girl, laughing happily staring at her kite up there.
Ari glanced back with flying hair making Arsya amazed. Well-favoured. Arsya is getting closer to Ari's body from behind.
Their feet were swept away by the rolling waters of the waves, but it was not at all bothersome. Arsya shifted the hair that covered Ari's cheeks, then kissed the girl's ears.
Ari felt like she was on fire. Moreover, his hair immediately stood up like an electric shock.
"Are you Happy?" Arsya put her chin on Ari's shoulder. Clutching the girl to stay warm in the middle of the wind that has no stop.
"Totally happy." His lips revealed a big smile, making Arsya who looked from the side dissatisfied.
Arsya threw away the thread can that Ari was holding, then turned the girl's body to face him. He tidied Ari's hair that was hit by a gust of wind to cover his face. Arsya slipped it behind the girl's ear, so as not to bother her to look at the lover's face.
"Aren't you asking me?"
Ari wrapped her hands around Arsya's waist. "You're happy, Shay?"
Arsya slipped her hand on the nape of Ari's neck. "This is the best God's gift ever. This moment, this feeling, scent, scene, and. you."
Ari's lips smiled again. He knew what Arsya wanted to do since the man held her nape. Ari tiptoes to receive the kiss she is most looking forward to.
Sunset, dim, also the sound of the waves rolling make the kiss deeper. Water that hits the feet makes a cold sensation and even adds to the impression of romance between them.
Arsya took off her lips, then rubbed Ari's lips with her thumb. The man also let go of Ari's hand which was coiled in his hand, making Ari's brows furrow. Especially when Arsya retreated a few steps as if away.
"Yes.." Ari had thought, what mistake he did until Arsya withdrew so.
But suddenly the man knelt on one leg as a focus. His hand revealed a small box of red velvet, then opened it.
"Ariva's..."
Not expecting what would happen, the gaping Ari had to immediately cover her mouth with both hands. Especially seeing two white sparkling objects that are very beautiful.
"I propose to you with the sunset peeking..."
Ari laughed hearing that. "Shaa." His hand stretched out, asking the man to put it on his finger. He's not strong anymore. It's so sweet...
Arsya put it on, then stood up and asked Ari to put it on for her too.
There was a ring for the two people who embraced each other.
Twoar!
Ari gasped in surprise when she saw suddenly there were fireworks on top of their heads. It turns out that on the cliff there are Tama, Syahdu, Arga, Karin, Hajoon, Kai, and many more that Ari has not been able to see from far away, making him shocked in disbelief.
"Duringayatt!" Shouted Hajoon, then released one more firework to make Ari and Arsya who were below laugh while closing their ears.
"Yes.." I don't know. Ari is speechless, other than pulling Arsya back to be able to hug him. Her happiness was like fireworks lit between nights. It's beautiful, and he can't describe it.
"I love you, Yes. Love you so much..."
"I love you too, my love." Arsya replies and continues to kiss the top of Ari's head lovingly.
Photos are just an example.

Then he was sent to the mother's sister's house, and met the Blue Ocean, a cousin who was not glimpsed by the Moon because of his trauma to sixpack-wielding men. Unlike the Blue Ocean which was also a Moon lecturer on campus, the Blue Ocean secretly liked the Moon.
