Time passed very quickly, from one week the time given by his mother is now only left today and tomorrow, he said, this problem completely drained Athar's mind even Athar was very difficult to sleep every night. The longer he thought the more Athar found a dead end and his head felt like it wanted to break.
This afternoon after serving Athar did not then return home, but to one of the housing complexes that he had visited several times. Athar parked his car not far from a light green house with a white iron fence. The house looks very quiet, it looks like the owner has not returned from his routine.
Athar sat uneasily in the steering wheel while continuing to observe the house, yes the house did belong to both Kenanga parents, even several times Athar had visited here under the pretext of wanting to be in touch with his patient, Anesa's mother, even Athar was always welcomed warmly by both Kenanga parents. Athar's eyes narrowed when he saw a taxi stop right in front of the fence, a young woman descending from the taxi in a neat work-wear suit. Yes, that woman was Kenanga who had just come home from work.
"I have to try to talk to him" Athar tried to convince himself and ventured to Kenanga.
In addition to this problem, Athar has also put a sense of long ago in Kenanga, so if the marriage happens it is of course not only because of this problem but because of his feelings also towards Kenanga. Athar was about to get out of his car but his intention was to undo when a black car entered the courtyard of the Kenanga house, a car that was used by Kenanga's father to go to the office.
"How is it, I'm very nerveous" Athar held onto his chest which felt extremely pounding at this moment.
After breathing in and exhaling several times and feeling a little calm, Athar chose to get out of the car and walk towards Kenanga's house.
"Good afternoon uncle" Sapaan Athar made papa Adam who had just got off the car a little surprised
"Eh, son of a doctor.." a warm smile rose on the lips of the middle-aged man that was seen there began to be wrinkles on his face
"Not been here for a long time, let's go in. It just so happened that my daughter just returned from Surabaya a few days ago" Papa Adam said in a warm tone to Athar.
It cannot be denied that Papa Adam also respect Athar who is very polite and kind, even several times to visit to check on the state of his wife. With a little hesitation Athar walked hand in hand into the house with Adam's father.
"Ma, look who's coming" Papa Adam is heard calling his wife to welcome Doctor Athar.
"Why is this why yelling?" Mama Anesa was seen flocking to her husband who was in the living room
"Son the doctor turned out" Mama Anesa was no less warmly welcomed with a sweet smile on her lips
"Auntie, how are you?" Athar was seen shaking Mama Anesa's hand like her son who had not seen her for a long time.
Kenanga who had just dropped her body on the mattress felt a little curious when she heard the voice of her father who called her mother so excitedly.
"What a special guest there is" Kenanga simply asked without wanting to know the answer. Kenanga's body felt very tired so Kenanga chose to close her eyes, her work today was very tiring.
But increasingly Kenanga felt curious when she heard laughter from her parents who were chatting with guests in the living room there.
"What the hell is it? Mama and Papa can be that big" Kenanga who was curious immediately went from the bed and out of the room to the living room.
Kenanga's footsteps came to a halt while standing in the doorway of her room, coincidentally the location of Kenanga's room and living room was indeed very close. Now both eyes Kenanga made narrow when found the figure of Athar who was chatting with his parents.
"Yet? Come here son, you remember Athar's doctor" Mama Anesa patted the empty seat next to him
"What is the doctor here?" Kenanga ignored her mother's question and chose to ask the doctor in front of her.
"Auntie, Uncle, am I allowed to chat with Kenanga for a while on the porch?" tanya Athar stared at Kenanga's parents in turn.
"Of course I can" Adam's father immediately chimed in

Now Athar and Kenanga are sitting in a garden chair located in the yard of Kenanga's house, not the terrace that Kenanga chose because if sitting on the terrace, both parents are likely to eavesdrop on the conversation. Silent, Athar still composed the words in his mind, he was afraid of being wrong to speak and instead made Kenanga angry.
"So what'd the doctor talk to me about?" kenanga's voice split the silence that enveloped the two.
"Yet." Athar took a long breath
"Marry me" he added in a steady voice
"What...??" Kenanga was very surprised by what Athar said.
"I'm seriously Kenanga" Athar added
"Does this have anything to do with what happened a few days ago with the doctor's mother?" kenanga asked full investigation, but Athar even silenced
"If so, let me explain the matter to the doctor. So that the doctor doesn't have to marry me. Nothing happened to us, did it?"
"But my mom won't listen to your explanation, she just wants to see us married instead of having an alibi"
"The doctor need not be afraid, I will try to convince him if nothing happens between the two of us. Because there can't be a marriage between the two of us, no foundation of any kind actually sounds very silly if married for such a reason" Kenanga explained
Athar was silent, he could not say anything, his heart ached when he heard the rejection from Kenanga. Even to say that he had put his feelings to Kenanga, Athar did not have the energy, because Athar believed that Kenanga would also reject him so Athar chose to remain silent rather than accept a second rejection.
"Please write down the doctor's mobile number, tomorrow after work we meet at the residence of the two doctors' parents" Kenanga handed her cell phone to Athar, and Athar only accepted it resignedly and then wrote the digit of his number on Kenanga's phone.
"Doctor take it easy, everything will be fine. Doctors do not need to worry if they will be expelled by both parents of doctors, and after this problem is finished the doctor can resume the life of the doctor normally"
Athar was silent to hear Kenanga's every word to him. Even as Kenanga bids her farewell to the house, Athar just assures her without preventing her. The hope is dashed, Kenanga's refusal will definitely take her expelled from this city and her family of course.
