A pair of lovers were walking around enjoying the soft and smooth sand of the beach, with bare feet. While waiting for the arrival of the twilight sky, also the sun that drowned itself in the western horizon.
Aye!
Ben and Rose decided to take a walk in the slightly shady sun, in the afternoon leading up to this afternoon.
Refreshing for a moment from the tired demands of life, seems like a good idea. Therefore, the two decided not to go straight home, after Rose finished her lunch.
The two lovebirds join each other. Their fingers are linked together, like the symbol of the union of their love last night.
Sometimes, a light wave sweep greeted the soles of their feet. Create a comfortable sensation of its own, when the cold sea water hit and wash part of the foot rested.
“Streeting on the beach like this, I remember the time you proposed to me, first.” Rose spoke suddenly, while occasionally tiptoeing, chasing with the sweep of the waves that came.
His lips smiled cheerfully, as his head lowered and stared at the small wave that came chasing his footsteps. Smile of a happy little boy.
“Yeah... and you rejected me back then! Hem!” sahut Ben while thinning lips when remembering the time. The moment he felt like he had failed in his life for the first time.
Although it is not really expressed as a rejection. Because Rose only postponed it, delaying to accept Ben's proposal at that time. There was a promise that the woman made before they were united in a more official and holy bond.
His fingers still clasped tightly, even though he let his lover play with the waves. Also the wet sand becomes a puddle, every time they are pitched.
Like he who set Rose free did whatever he wanted. Including to be strong, as well as to be a greater figure. Ben allowed, he allowed, as long as all the process is still under his direct supervision.
The dissident woman, rather than being left to wander herself in search of her identity, would rather watch over and educate her.
While waiting, while he was patient, while also he could cultivate their love to become stronger and deeper. That way, he could take care of her up close, if Rose was always by her side.
“Don't be upset that way! If you propose to me again, I'll definitely accept you, Ben!” Rose gave a smile as she saw Ben half-sullenly staring at her.
“Then, I will propose to you now!” firmly Ben while holding their hand. Rose's steps stopped.
“Not now, Ben! Hh... hh...” The woman placed her fist in front of her mouth, in order to cover her lips that were passing a small soft laugh.
“Barusan... You said it yourself!” reply Ben quickly. With a serious face, he pulled the hand of his lover, so that now they faced each other.
Set on the same beach, when he said his promise to Rose. The roar of the melodious waves and the breeze that continued to caress their bodies. It feels like this moment, it is very appropriate for Ben to express his statement as well as his statement.
Deg~! Deg~!
Rose's heart hit hard. Thumping his chest until it makes a sound that makes him more nervous.
Looking at Ben's current serious face, was it possible that the man would propose to her again?
Not not not want! But Rose felt, this is not the time, not the right time. Physically they are a unit.
Later, in a minute. Rose needs a little more time. For that, he cannot be so compromising with the commitment he has made.
Rose still had to become strong first, to achieve that status.
But, what if Ben actually proposed to her this time?
What's he supposed to do?
It's impossible too, right, he refused again? It feels impossible!
She refused her lover, the man she loved. Then Ben gets hurt again for his refusal. Can't! Rose didn't want that to happen either!
But how should it be? What did he have to answer when Ben actually revealed it to him?
Rose's eyes swayed as she stared deeply at Ben's jet-black netra. I don't think he can make his girlfriend disappointed again.
But marriage is not just a union of sacred love, for him. It takes a strong commitment, bond, trust, and tolerance to live it, later.
Rose wants to really mature when undergoing the next stage, in this life.
“I understand! Take it easy, Rose! I will not force my will on you. I will wait for you, even if until anytime.”
Those heartfelt words developed a smile on his lips, which clung to the man's chest. Rose's hand returned Ben's warm embrace.
The tension that Rose had felt had also slowly dissipated. Brought by the sea breeze, also the waves that return to the ocean again.
“Thank you, Ben! I love you!” rosa exclaimed as she tightened her grip on that wide back.
Feeling fragrant and comfortable which can always make him feel safe and protected. Feel cared for and loved at the same time.
“Yes, I know! And I will always love you!”
Cup~!
A kiss in Ben gave to the top of Rose's head that was right on her chin.
He knew, Ben knew that Rose loved him very much. Ben could feel that. So it feels so selfish if he keeps demanding Rose about things that his lover can't yet fulfill. While Rose had already promised at some point, their relationship would definitely come together.
“Let's go again!” take Ben then after satisfied hugging.
He thought he could do more than this to express their love for each other. But this is not the place.
Hh…! Laugh inwardly, when the man thought about it.
Here, it is better for them to re-enjoy the beautiful moments of dating, which they rarely can do calmly.
“But carry me! My knees are still limp, you know!” pinta Rose while complaining and pouting. He stretched both his hands forward. Waiting for the man to welcome him.
Know for yourself, don't you think this is who?! So, of course he had to take responsibility for her!
“Iya, yes, alright!” The man then turned his body. Then kneel with the back to Rose. “Come, up!” He let his lover go up, with a shoulder.
Yea! Rose cheer in the heart.
He clapped softly with a gleeful face, behind the back of his lover.
Then he opened both legs, then went up and grabbed the back while draping his hands from behind, to Ben's neck as one lock so that he did not fall.
They walked while talking and were also joking. Occasionally also reciprocate kisses on the cheeks that look friendly in front of many people.
“If I'm heavy, just put me down, Ben!” exclaim Rose attention.
“Yes, you are heavy! Until I want to throw you into the ocean!” timpal Ben teased his girlfriend.
“Ben!!” Rose hit the man's shoulder in return for teasing him.
“Do you doubt my abilities, hem? I can even continue to carry you while circling the world!” exclaim Ben again with his haughty style.
“Ben! I'm not kidding right now!”
“You think I'm kidding?” reply Ben quickly and without hesitation.
“A-“
Rose held her words down her throat. Then another word came out of his mouth.
“Ben! Dia-?”
Their eyes then headed in the same direction.
Seriate…
