I'm Not Your Bridge

I'm Not Your Bridge
Chapter 24


In the evening, Albert invites Nayyara to a romantic dinner at the hotel's garden. He deliberately juggled it in such a way as to please Nayyara. He also wanted to make a special surprise for her.


Wearing a black suit and a white shirt interior combined with semi jeans that wrapped his body perfectly, Albert looks very handsome and charming. Moreover, the haircut that is combed sideways and a little touch of pomade makes his good looks more and more fold.


After making sure all the preparations were over, Albert asked a bodyguard to pick Nayyara up in his room. While he himself hid behind the trees waiting for the right moment to appear before him.


Meanwhile, in the room, Nayyara looks still upset because Albert had ignored her earlier. Even upon arrival in Albert's room, he said not a word and left.


"Why would he go all the way to bring me here if only to be left alone in a room like this. You know what it's like to mending me at home," he said grumbling.


Tok tok tok. Nayyara seemed reluctant to tell him let alone open it.


"Ah, at most it's only the hotel attendant who wants to deliver food," he murmured inwardly. "just ignore! I'm still upset at the moment anyway. It's so bad to eat."


Tok tok tok. Nayyara ignored him again. But someone on the outside didn't seem to stop knocking. Nayyara had to open the door. "What's wrong?" ketus tanyanya.


"Sorry, Miss! Sir is waiting for you to have dinner at the park" said the man, who was Albert's man.


Nayyara bellowed at the guards' speech. " I don't want to. Just tell me I don't want to eat" he said.


"Sorry, Miss! But you will be furious if you refuse his orders. For the Lord would most dislike if his command is rebutted."


The more annoyance grew in Nayyara's heart to hear the bodyguard's words. "Bas on the forcible! It seems to be arranging people. Who is he."


The bodyguard could only faintly smile at Nayyara's annoyance. "Sorry, Miss. Mr. Albert is the man. I beg you Miss to come with me, or I'll get angry."


Nayyara grunted in annoyance. "Yes, I went downstairs. Just wait a minute there. I want to change clothes first" he said, stomping his feet. Then he turned his body and closed the door.


The bodyguard could only sigh while shaking his head at Nayyara's behavior.


Not long after the door opened again and showed Nayyara who had changed clothes behind it. " I'm ready. Take me down now."


The guard nodded obediently. "Come. Miss, please!" said it.


Nayyara set foot without feeling suspicious at all followed by the bodyguards behind her. But upon arrival, a woman who was a hotel employee gave her a sekumtum of roses.


"Like this flower, you look so pretty, miss. Accept this flower" he said as he thrust the flower in front of Nayyara.


Nayyara smiled faintly at his praise. "Thank you!" he said, then received the flower and smelled it. Instantly, a calm feeling perched in his heart as soon as he smelled the aroma.


"The aroma of fresh flowers is the most powerful to restore one's mood" he murmured slowly. Then he went back to foot.


But just a few steps, someone again thrust flowers in front of him while praising him. Nayyara smiled and accepted the flower.


"Lho, where did the bodyguard go? How could I not realize it" he muttered in confusion.


Nayyara continued to set foot alone, until now he reached the hotel park.


Nayyara was stifled by the sight before her. Along the way there is a stretch of red rose petals that look like a red carpet to one direction, which is the middle of the garden, where there is a dining table that is arranged very romantic..


On the side of the road decorated with small candles whose light looks very beautiful that night. Especially that night the weather was also clear. The moon smiled happily. The stars scattered over the night sky. They seemed to support a romantic dinner that night.


Nayyara's heart warms. He was deeply moved by the surprise Albert gave. "Thank you very much, Al. Turns out this is why you left me alone in the room" she said with a sweet smile on her face.


He also stepped foot following the expanse of the rose petals. Until now he was in front of the table. His heart grew even more moved at how beautifully Albert prepared this dinner.


"Thank you very much, Al. I really appreciate all your efforts" he said sincerely. "But where is Albert? why is this table empty?."


Nayyara turned to the right and left, looking for Albert. "Al, where are you? I'm already here now" he said half-screaming.


No sound of anything. Only the night wind was heard. Nayyara repeated her call. But it also does not sound legitimate from the man sought.


Nayyara was upset. Albert just wanted to play with him. "God, come out now. It's not all funny" he yelled annoyed. "If in the third count you don't show up, then I'll never see you again."


Slowly Nayyara started the count.


One.....


Two.....


Three.....


Until the count of three Albert has not yet appeared so that the frustration of Nayyara who had reduced was re-ignited. Tears began to pool in his eyes. He also intends to die at the place. But suddenly .....


"Nayyara Celine, will you marry me!."


Hearing such a familiar voice in the ears, Nayyara turned her body upside down. He also shrieked stifled while covering his mouth as soon as he saw what was in front of him.


In front of him, Albert was kneeling on both feet. His hand held a small box containing a very beautiful diamond ring.


A moment later, there was the sound of fireworks. Then in the sky appeared a writing that made Nayyara unable to say anything more than shedding tears full of novelty. And that writing is, 'Will YOU MARRY ME'. It's written so beautifully up there.


Seeing that Nayyara was silent, Albert repeated his question. " Nayyara Celine, will you marry me? Spend the rest of your life with me? as well as being a part of my imperfect life?."


But Nayyara did not answer Albert's proposal. He is still faithful to his silence.
