Wait for my answer
Rully turned her head for a while, looking at Naka flatly, she already knew everything! Then the girl, taking off her hat and face cover then, tidied up all the contents of her bag but, not commenting on Naka's remarks.
“You want me to show you a very clear river and a good view here? Comeing! Follow me!”
Ruly said as he kept the backpack on his shoulder, grabbed Naka's hand and walked hand in hand towards the river that split the protected forest area, not far from where they stood.
“Are you trying to switch my conversation?” nakha asked as she walked, she let Rully clasp her wrist.
The girl simply smiled and continued walking until they finally arrived at a river whose water was clear enough. Rully washed her face in the river water until it was clean, after storing her backpack.
Then, he sat down while tying his hair and looked at Naka who was beside him, the man watching everything he did.
“Where did you know I was the same woman, didn't you recognize my face back then?”
“I just deduce from your touch, your hair, voice, and also your skill!”
Rully nodded.
“I know who you are, Naka, but, whatever I did in the past, it doesn't matter. I'm so grateful you're healthy now. Dance that saved you!” rully said with a smile and looked at Naka meaningfully.
“For me it matters! I want to marry you, not with Tari!”
Rully laughed at Naka's words that could not be further ado, even she had no romantic attitude at all, letting the woman carry her own backpack. There is no initiative to protect. Since entering the forest, he did nothing to make it easier for Rully, even he did not offer a ride because there is a father.
Aakhs! What kind of a man is he! Inner Rully.
“You don't need to marry the woman who saved you, just because you feel indebted! We are not in a fairyland!”
“Yes! The Legend of Mermaid by Hans Christian Anderson! But, you're not a mermaid and I'm not a handsome prince, I'm just a man who needs a strong woman like you!”
“What does that mean you're a weak man?” Rully said with a laugh.
“Yes! I hope you want to marry a weak man like me!”
Rully was silent, as she continued to stare at Naka, as if looking for something from the eyes of the man who had admitted honestly if he was weak. Isn't that funny, he thought.
My God, where there is a man who wants to be judged weak, only this time I know! Usually the man would be as strong as his strength to cover up his weakness! Rully said in her heart.
“You know, Naka? I don't like that story .... why did the mermaid have to end up being the froth of the ocean waves? Wouldn't it be better for him to die or at least be a more useful thing!”
“You better ask the author, oh yes, I am not asking for your answer now .. You can think about it first and I will ask for your answer in a few days I will come again.”
“No need to come again!”
“Why can't I, am I bothering you?”
“Not about that ..., you know? I'm the one who made the wound on your knee heal too long, even she's not?”
“Yes! Why?”
“I've made a mistake, which made the wound in your massage worse that time!”
Then, Rully said what was her mistake when helping Naka at that time, just because she hesitated to remove some of her clothes.
“Alright if it doesn't matter to you ..., I'll come to Bimbim's birthday party in three days, we can meet there, and I'll give you my answer.”
“How did you know the boy was going to be birthday?” ask Naka astonished.
“He called me last night and he wanted me to come.”
“You have the phone number?”
“Ya!”
For a moment the man felt one step inferior to Bimbim his own nephew.
Afterwards, Rully invites Naka to see the location where she fell, showing a large tree where her parachute and airplane seat were stuck. Then, say all the things she had done to Naka before she regained consciousness from fainting until finally dance found her.
“Nakha, everything that happens to you is God's destiny, so you don't have to repay her by marrying me, Tari already loves you first and she so expects you as a lover. He once said it frankly to me, what would happen if you were to marry me? Aren't you going to break her heart?”
The man did not answer Ruli's question, and only looked up, looking at her parachute and the seat of her plane stuck at the top of a towering tree. He did not not not listen but, ignoring Rully's consideration, to think of Dance who had already loved first.
“Do you have a lover, Ru? If you already have ... I won't bother you, I can probably only hope that you're happy with your chosen man, he's certainly much better than me isn't he?”
Rully is silent she doesn't know if to admit if she doesn't have a lover for now. He liked a man who was very good at concocting herbs, they met when he first followed his father delivering orders to a therapy clinic.
However, he did not know where the man had gone, every time he went to the same clinic, the man did not exist. Although now Rully, likes Naka, but she is not a woman who likes to hurt others and she does not want Dance will be hurt by it.
“I used to love men and I think he is much better than you but, now that he is not around, I don't know where he is,” Ruli said.
“What kind of man is he handsome?”
“Yes he's handsome like you!”
Nakha was silent in a sweet smile, she suddenly grabbed Rully's hand and clasped tightly. While looking warmly he gave the girl who made him comfortable.
“Thank you, for everything you've done to me, I can't repay you with anything, therefore I want to marry you because maybe I can repay you with my love ..”
Naka stopped talking for a moment.
“Ruly .. I invited you to marry not because I wanted to return the favor but, since I saw you, I have liked you, when I did not know that, you are the one who has helped me, in fact, I love you, I want to keep hanging out next to you because I'm comfortable .. am I wrong to have that feeling?”
Rully smiled and said, “Oh! So, so ... thanks for liking me too, I appreciate your feelings, Naka, but, to marry you .. I don't know I'm ready!”
“When you're ready, I'll wait!”
“No need, there are other women who are more ready to accompany you, why should I?”
“You mean, Dance? I don't know .. I don't have any feelings for her!”
“Alright, I will think about it, wait for my answer on Bimbim's birthday later!”
So the conversation ended until they came home, no other words meant anything.
