Hold On Or Let Go
05. Always Happy, Beautiful...
The conversation about marriage continues. Every now and then Adnan looked towards Naira who since the match was announced he looked moody.
“Sorry Om Aunt, I can let Naira out for a while ? I think we need to chat together.”
“Certainly certainly. Please let you guys get closer. Yes ma ?” Said Mr. Guntoro was happy because it looks like this matchmaking will be smooth.
“Iya pa. But do not forget yes Adnan son aunt later flipped again.” Nayra's mother teased her future daughter-in-law.
“Thank you Om Aunt. Come on Nay .?” take the girl away.
Nayra simply followed Adnan behind her, without asking where the man was going to take her. Because, he also felt he needed a little fresh air amid the confusion he felt now.
They arrived at the Rooftop Restaurant, incidentally Rooftop restaurant was built with the concept of an outdoor garden, so it will be comfortable to talk or just enjoy the night sky.
“Sini, sit here.” Take Naira to sit on one of the park benches.
“From yesterday I noticed, you look moody since Om Guntoro started talking about our matchmaking. May I know what the reason is ?” please don't tell me because you don't like me.
“Eng do not ko, Naira not moody.” Naira replied without looking at Adnan, the girl just lowered her head, nervous because she was not good at lying.
Adnan tugged at the girl's shoulder to look at her. “My intention is Naira, I won't be upset you don't have to be afraid. You are not willing to be betrothed to me ?” trying to guess Naira's heart, but the girl just shook her head.
“Or lest you not like me ?.” the girl just kept quiet without answering or shaking her head.
“Listen Naira, I will only get married once in a lifetime. So, I do not want if you are forced to marry me, because it is the same way I hurt you.”
He's a good man, Inner Naira
“Mas Adnan why would you want to be fooled by Naira ?.” dare to ask the man.
“Mas Adnan ?.” first time anyone called me that, funny too.
“Iya. Mom usually calls papa. So Nay thinks there's no harm in starting to do it. I don't like being called ?.”
“Like. This is the first time anyone called me that, so I was shocked aja.” It means he's starting to open his heart to me, right ?
“oh yes, emh ekhm. When it comes to matchmaking, at first I also refused but my mother insisted so I thought what was wrong with doing it for the sake of mama, consider it as filial piety to parents. But, after meeting you, he rich
my decision is not wrong.” This is why being nervous anyway, please Adnan not be rich ABG kasmaran. Stay cool okay. Inner Adnan cleared his mind.
“Nay is also the same, Do not know in the future how it will be, but Nay wants to try. Nay will try, if this makes papa happy.” Though it might hurt me, but I'm fine as long as my parents are happy. Inner Naira
I promise Nay, I won't make you regret your decision. I may not be the reason for you to accept this marriage. But I will try to make you happy in our marriage.Adnan's determination in heart
“Mas why ? ko seein Nay is rich?.” confused because Adnan looked at him for a long time with a serious look.
fortunately, I can hide.
They eventually returned to the restaurant, approaching their parents who were still engrossed in the conversation surrounding the wedding preparations.
“This is her bride-to-be. What the hell is it ? it was a long time ago so.” Guntoro said when Naira and Adnan returned.
“Only regular chat by Om.” Adnan replied with a friendly smile.
“owh yes. As long as you were gone, we talked about your wedding preparations. What if your wedding is held in 1 month ?.”
“I agree Om.” Answer Adnan. Naira is silent, not wanting to interfere in any preparations for her marriage.
“Alright then, we decide the wedding will take place in a month. For the preparation of the wedding you guys just calm down, because we will arrange everything.”

After dinner, they returned to their homes. Naira was pensive on the balcony of her room when a message entered her phone.
The Ting.!!
[Bang Gaga] Musician,. Not sleeping yet ?
A few minutes later
[Bang Gaga] Good Night. Sleep Well, my dear brother.
Seeing the message made Naira shed her tears. Given the matchmaking that made him have to stay away from the man.
“ I missed you
With all the longing I have in my heart
If this rope hadn't tied me
Then with pleasure
I'll go through the night enjoying my miss
I'll spend the day waiting for you
However, I don't want to hurt you by holding a heart that I can't have ”
