A very surprising day for me because of Adithya...

Me and Adithya were walking in a park near our campus. The atmosphere is arguably really romantic, because it is as if nature has supported our relationship.

The weather is cloudless, the wind is blowing quietly, and the chirping of birds perched on each of the trees is really a great time to spend it with a partner.

After walking around, we sat on a long wooden chair near the tree, after which Adithya sat down and said:

"Hey, we've been in this relationship for a long time and I've wanted to."

"Huh, do what?"

Adithya got up from her seat and kept her facing towards me, and bowed right in front of me as well. Then he took something out of his pocket.

DEG...

Don't-don't this...

"Do you want to be my wife?" While showing the object he took out of his pocket is a box containing a beautiful ring.

"YESY!!"

Suddenly a scream from behind turned out to be my friends, but...where did they appear?

"Come, accept! Thank you!"

Suddenly it grew a lot and I just realized when I came to this park, only a few people came here and I didn't realize it at all. So, this was all planned...

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Cheers and applause were still heard and I looked at the very serious-looking Adithya, then I closed my mouth with both hands and unconsciously my tears came out.

"Yes. I accept."

Adithya immediately smiled and her face became brighter, she immediately pulled my right hand and inserted the ring underneath into my ring finger.

POK... POK... POK...

The applause grew louder and I got up and so did Adithya, and subconsciously I hugged her it made me both happy and ashamed.

"Cie. cie.. just wait to sit together in the house..."

Hearing that made me even more embarrassed and not dare to look at my friends' themes, then Adithya returned my arms and kissed me on my forehead.

As usual after coming home from college I was always piggybacked by Adithya with his antique bike.

But, after driving me to the front of the house usually he went straight home too, but this time he decided to visit my house.

"Eh, don't you go home?"

"No, this time I want to see your parents."

"Tap it. tomorrow, I'll say" said one who was still shy.

He simply replied with a smile and we walked into the house, as we arrived at the door...

GECK... GECK...

The door immediately opened after a few taps and someone opened it...

"Sister! Mom, I'm home."

A little boy greeted us warmly and he was my sister Siti.

"Heh, Brother Adit, is also here. Hore... Did Adit bring any more ice cream?"

I was shocked to hear that Adithya had been a tutor to my sister, but I didn't expect them to be this familiar.

"Don't worry, I've bought it from earlier, nih."

"Okay, hurrah, I got some more ice cream, '" while running into the house.

"You usually buy him ice cream?" Ask her.

"Yes, it's to get him excited while studying."

"Heh, son, you've come home and you're with Adit this time. Come on in, why just stand there."

A middle-aged woman came and she was my mother her name was Ayu Safitri.

We both entered, a moment was already in the living room I saw Siti sitting on the sofa was greedy eating ice cream and beside her a middle-aged man sitting also he was my Papa his name is Ariangga.

"Papa, I'm coming home" I said, kissing Dad's hand and Adithya kissed him too.

"You're home, but why is Adithya here?"

"Look Pa, I.." I'm the one who's still shy about telling him.

Adithya suddenly opened her voice and said:

"The reason I'm here is to talk to Om and Auntie."

"Oh, that's it..." My father saw Adithya who was seriously looking at him. "Then sit down first."

"Then I go back, yes" said I, who was quiet for a moment, heading to the kitchen to prepare drinks for them.

A moment in the kitchen I saw Mom there also who had prepared a drink.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

"Have explained, prepare a drink for the guests" replied Mother.

"But let me."

"It's okay, it's already gone. But. I think there's something good about my daughter, right."

"What did you say, anyway."

"Well, what the hell is shining," his eyes were immediately fixed on this ring I was wearing.

"Oh this..."

I was shocked because I realized and intended Adithya to come here.

"I think it's time.all right, then bring the drink quickly, don't make him wait."

I just nodded and brought the drink to the living room.

"Oh yeah, Mom, where's Iwan?"

"He was sleeping in his room."

While Mom and I were there, I saw Papa and Adithya not talking to each other (talking), looking very awkward.

"Huh, you guys are already here, so hurry up and sit down," said my Papa who asked me and Mom to sit down immediately, I sat next to her Siti while putting her drink on the table, while Mom sat beside her Papa. "Well, Adit please talk."

Uh, so as long as I'm gone they both haven't spoken at all, whereas all this time they've been very familiar with chatting.

"Look, Om-tante, I. want to ask Wati," said Adithya who looks nervous.

Instantly Papa was a little surprised and wide-eyed and immediately saw Mother who was beside him, Mother only responded by nodding and Papa said:

"All right, I accept. I've been expecting this for a long time, my mother and I wish you could come together, and our prayers are truly fulfilled."

As soon as Adithya's face looked happy and looked at me straight away, I immediately turned away from her because I was still ashamed to look at her.

"So, when are you going to get married, I can't wait to have a granddaughter" said Mother who made me even more embarrassed.

"If you can after we graduate," replied Adithya.

"Oh, so soon you're graduating, it's only a year away" said Papa.

Siti who tried to digest the situation and asked:

"Married? Who wants to get married, Mom?"

"Of course your sister, baby," replied Mother.

Siti looked at me:

"Eh.. So big brother, but with whom?" He looked at Adithya. "So, same with Adit."

I just nodded.

"Hore soon Brother Adit will be my brother too, so every day I can eat ice cream."

Everyone laughed at my brother's innocence.
