One confession Nisa made managed to make a sudden atmosphere of silence. There was no discussion there because Ardi himself was surprised to hear the news. He did not expect that Hasanuddin Ibrahim's wife did not give his blessing for this relationship.
"Why didn't your mother approve of this relationship?" asked Ardi without taking his eyes off Nisa.
"Because of your work" Nisa replied without thinking.
"Is there something wrong with my job? Didn't your mother also become the wife of an officer?" Ardi seems to have not been able to accept the reality.
"It's precisely because you're an officer, that mom doesn't agree if I marry you." Heavy breathing sounds there. Nisa herself did not know how else to persuade her mother.
Nisa also told how Badiah's rejection of this relationship. His voice trembled with sadness in facing this situation by himself for months. Nisa took it all out in front of Ardi to make the young man filled with shock and rejection of Badiah.
"But your mom just doesn't like my job, does she? Not with me?" asked Ardi while looking at Nisa intensely.
"I don't know exactly why you don't like you. The one thing I caught from her explanation all along, mother just didn't want me to feel what she was feeling first. I don't want the past to happen to me" Nisa explained with tears.
The hijab-wearing girl spilled all the claustrophobic she had been sitting in front of Ardi. He began to tell her everything he had experienced when Ardi was no longer around him. Until a few tens of minutes later, Nisa had to stop her speech after hearing the sound of her phone ringtone. The beautiful girl immediately shifted the green icon on the screen after finding out if Badiah contacted her.
"Yes, Mom. I'm still doing this job at a friend's house. Maybe the afternoon just came home," he said after the call was connected, "it's okay I'm not coming. Mother be careful on the road huh." Nisa immediately ended the call.
"What's wrong?" ardi asked after Nisa kept her phone in the backpack.
"Mother wants to go, come to the brother's house in Jombang because there are salvation of the dead," explained Nisa.
"Now it's better we don't have to force your blessing from your mother first. We go first while looking for the right solution," said Ardi after thinking for a while, "let's go while enjoying the dessert. Do not think too much because later it can be depressed," continued Ardi while taking the shrimp rambutan he ordered.
"I can't get married anytime soon because I'm still in college. If you really want to marry me, wait until I graduate. I don't want to disappoint Mbak Fina and her husband who have been financing my education all this time" explained Nisa after remembering the message conveyed by Fina.
"That can be arranged later," replied Ardi without a second thought.
"All right then. Oh yeah, who am I supposed to call you? Ardi or Johan?" nisa asked after remembering the name of the young man before her.
"How about you just call me 'Honey? Or Baby, Honey, Papa, Daddy?" seloroh Ardi to make Nisa cluck annoyed.
"Ck. I'm ready for you so I have to call you 'Darling'?" Nisa muttered without daring to look at Ardi.
While Ardi only frowned after hearing Nisa's answer. He does not understand why the question can be thrown by Nisa, while he and his family already want an official bond.
"Hey, why are you asking that question? Then what do you think our relationship is as far?" cecar Ardi with an intense gaze.
Nisa just flicked her shoulders with perfectly pursed lips, "well. I don't know what our relationship is. I am not experienced in relationships. But as far as I know if someone steps into the marriage stage, before going through the relationship process approach first." Looks like Nisa is giving hard code to Ardi.
The master only gave a smile after capturing the intent of all of Nisa's explanations. It turns out that the youngest daughter of Badiah wants to feel how the palpitations when the heart expresses her love.
"Don't understand either? Forget it then! So, should I call you Johan or Ardi?" Nisa looks upset because Ardi just kept quiet while observing her.
While Ardi tried to hold back his laughter because he saw such great irritation from Nisa's facial expression. He was getting more and more anxious to see the girl. I really want him to bite that pursed lip.
"Call me Johan. I don't use Ardi's name anymore" replied Ardi without taking his eyes off the pretty face.
"Nyebelin this is a man! He's insensitive or something!" nisa grumbled in her heart when Ardi never revealed the words of love she wanted.
Nisa's frustration grew because Ardi shifted the conversation by discussing her college issues. Nisa responded lazily and uninspiredly in reply. They were there long enough to discuss the unimportant thing until all the food on the table was gone.
"How about after this we walk to the Mall for a bit?" tawar Ardi while wearing his hat.
"It's safe, isn't it? Aren't you afraid to wander around in public?" ask Nisa.
"Just calm. Everything is safe" replied Ardi confidently.
"OK then. But not too long because I have to go home in the afternoon" replied Nisa firmly.
Ardi immediately moved from his place after hearing Nisa's reply. He again took Nisa's hand as he walked towards the cashier to pay all the bills. When they finished, they immediately left the restaurant. Nisa was amazed by the attitude Ardi showed. Especially when Ardi opened the door for him, he was flattered by it.
"Thank you" Nisa said before getting into the black civic car driven by Ardi.
The black car came out of the courtyard of the restaurant. Ardi steered his car towards the city, where the only mall in the small town was located. Both of them several times throw a smile because they feel happy to be able to walk together smoothly.
"Oh yeah, did you come from Jakarta driving this car yourself?" ask Nisa.
"No. I was escorted by Papa's personal driver. He is now sleeping in the hotel" replied Ardi without looking to the side. He was focusing on his wheel to be safe until the goal.
"I think you occupy the old house," Nisa muttered in a soft voice.
"No. I've handed the keys to the owner. I will not be in this city for long, because it must be served in Jakarta," explained Ardi to make Nisa must feel disappointed.
A heavy sigh blew from Nisa's sense of smell. If Ardi returns to Jakarta then he again feels lonely. It felt like he was unable to stay away from Ardi for quite a long time.
"You don't have to worry. We can already get in touch by phone after this," Ardi said after observing Nisa's change in expression, "Oh yeah, I'd like to play at your house tomorrow to meet your mother in person. You're not going to college tomorrow, are you? Because tomorrow will be a red date," said Ardi after being determined to meet Badiah.
