Let Us Unite
Part 170's. Confession of Love
After delivering Angel Adrian did not immediately deliver Annete to Zidane's house but they stopped for a while at a lake that looks beautiful with a tinge of twilight that looks radiating from one corner.
Annete was astonished when Adrian pulled his car over on the edge of the lake.
"Where are we going?"
"Streetings," replied Adrian briefly. Without Annete's consent he immediately took Annete's hand and took him around the place and Annete did not refuse him at all, he left his hand held by Adrian even though his heart seemed to be dislodged.
A little later Adrian invites Annete to sit down after finding the most comfortable place in the place to chat.
"And I want to talk to you about something." Adrian started the conversation after a while holding the beat. He is not a romantic man who easily says love to a woman, even when he was with Anisa, Anisa who first expressed her feelings for Adrian.
"Speak Mas, did something happen to Adel?" Annete was worried seeing Adrian tense and sweating. He thinks Adel's disease is getting relapsed when Adel is fine and Adrian is just groggy.
"It has nothing to do with Adel. It's our problem."
"We? Why are we?" Annete was also nervous, his body stiffened waiting for Adrian's next speech with anxious hopes. Whether his feelings will be reciprocated or will it just be his delusion. Annete was not very confident after some time that Lexi actually chose Ara. He is afraid Adrian only needs himself to take care of Adel as before. It could have been his words while in the hospital just to tease Nicko alone.
"Ah, you don't expect Annete too much to fear you'll be disappointed." Annete's inner voice.
Adrian steadied his heart and said, "And I want you to be my wife. Yes, I want to ask you to be my wife as well as being Adel's mother. You want An?" Annete's heart rippled to hear Adrian's words. Does that mean he and Adrian are in love? Ah, not necessarily he could have been forced to want to marry her because of Adel's coercion.
"I want you to be my life partner until I close my eyes" he continued.
"Mas me...."
"And you don't have to answer now if you're not ready." Adrian thought Annete would turn him down to see Annete's expression that he didn't seem to like and he wasn't ready to listen to the rejection. He would be so embarrassed.
"What's every time you look at me you look at me like you see Anisa?" Annete ventured to ask. He did not want to make the wrong decision later. Now or later Adrian will need answers.
"You mean?"
"Does Mas Adrian want to marry me because my face is similar to Adel's?"
"An that's not true at all. I may have seen you look like Anisa in the first place, but the more I come here the more I see you differently. Moreover, your different nature is one hundred and eighty degrees. You love Adel more than he does. Do you still think of me that way?"
"For if you need me to take care of Adel I will sincerely do so without you even marrying me."
"Does that mean you rejected me?"
"Mas is not what I meant. I just don't want to be married to a man who doesn't love me at all."
"An I love you An, love you so much even. Otherwise I'll look for you that far to Paris. You know even I'd be willing to leave Adel for months and also my job just to be able to live with you."
"I love you An loves you too much. You know when I lost you that time my world seemed to collapse instantly, I almost went crazy An when I found no trace of you back then. I even forgot about Adel for focusing too much on your search. Isn't that proof enough that I didn't want to marry you because of Adel? Not only Adel but I need you more."
"Anisa's problem? He showed up after your departure. If I still love him or want to marry you because I look like him why not just go back to him? I didn't because I realized my heart was yours."
"Pardon me, I didn't mean to doubt you. I just want to hear from your mouth straight away that you do love me because I love you honestly too Mas."
"Areally An?" Annete nodded timidly while Adrian was so happy to hear Annete's words.
Adrian then held Annete's hand. "Don't leave me again, will you?"
Annete just nodded and because it was so happy they immediately hugged without seeing the situation around.
Prok.prok... There was a loud applause from where they were sitting. It turns out that there are many pairs of teenagers who watched their drama earlier. When they decided to sit, they did not see anyone at all. Maybe because they were too serious they did not realize it turned out that many people began to arrive to see the view of the lake in the afternoon.
"Congratulations Ma'am, Mas for the inauguration of your relationship."
"It's a pleasure to witness the confession of love to lovers."
"Hopefully your relationship will last until you become grandparents and grandparents" said one of them.
"Akhc... I'm ashamed" said Annete, covering his face with both hands.
"Why should you be ashamed?" adrian said when he was embarrassed when he wanted to say love to Annete but because it was clearly accepted he even became heartened and proud.
"Well, since you've been witnesses to our statement of feeling, how about as a thank you I treat you to a meal at a restaurant?"
"Is it really Bang?" ask one of them.
"Yes." replied Adrian still with a happy smile.
"But our members are many."
"It's okay I bought everything so I'm happy again. What restaurant do you want?"
"Give up Bang but it's better at a restaurant that's just a little closer than here."
"Can you please, Mama?" Annete simply replied with a nod, for some reason he was still embarrassed to make a sound.
"Come on in!" adrian pinta.
Some get into Adrian's car and some drive their own motorbike to a nearby restaurant.
"Will there be no songs that we want to request the same as we can bring a guitar?" haggle for one of the young men who joined Adrian's car.
"By playing a romantic song we're in love." Adrian who answered made Annete's face red as a boiled crab because it held the shame
"Buck...." Annete wanted to protest but was prevented by Adrian.
"It's okay not to drill in the car," he said.
And the flow of Ipank song entitled 'Is that love' from the mouth of the young man made Adrian not want to let go of his smile when he saw the face of Annete getting red.
After arriving at the restaurant Adrian let the young men to order the food menu freely.
"You enjoy the food it's all paid for. We'll excuse you to go home first" Adrian told the teenagers.
"Thank you Bang."
"Yes are the same."
After that Adrian drove his car back to split the streets to take Annete to Zidane's house back at once to pick Adel home.
"Sorry An if I was impressed by telling the kids to sing."
"It's okay, Mas Adri said that he left the job for a few months is there no problem?" Annete fears Adrian is discharged from the hospital only to find himself.
"Don't think, if I get kicked out later I can open my own clinic or I can ask Zidane to hire me at his hospital." Adrian understands Annete's concerns.
"Better now we think of our marriage alone."
"Should it be that fast?"
"Yes An, I can't wait to take you to the underwriting." Annete did not know that Adrian was tired of being single. Although she has just legally divorced Anisa but has been lonely for almost seven years, because while living with Anisa even though Adrian actually felt lonely because their lives were not like husband and wife in general.
"As good as you are, I will obey."
"Well, I'll set the date when." Annete just nodded.
Arriving at Zidane's house, Isyana immediately reprimanded the two who walked towards them because they looked happy.
"What is it like you're smiling now?"
"Is there good news, Dad?" adel asked along and walked towards Adrian and Annete.
"Yes mother Annete now wants to marry Dad," whispered Adrian in the ear of Adel but can still be heard by others.
"Well, congratulations, Dri, Net."
"Thank You."
"Favor Ma'am."
"Well congratulations to Adel and the doctor, Aunty, too" Nathan said.
"Thank you."
"Congratulations, Aunty, because it turns out that Aunty bought one" Tristan said, chuckling.
"meaning?" Annete doesn't understand.
"Can't Om Adrian Adel bonus."
"Hem." Adrian could not speak anymore.
"Ataan!" isyana Protest.
"It's okay Tristan Ma'am is just kidding" Annete said. He did not want to take heart over Tristan's words because he knew that one child did like a prank.
