A few days after Danisha's wedding, Naila was again preoccupied with welcoming the arrival of the Adnan family who wanted to propose to Keyla.
Keyla knitted her eyebrows when she saw the busy mother arranging the main room with the servants.
"That put it here and that one over there!" naila's word to her servants.
Keyla slowly approached Naila and stood beside her while watching the work of the servants who were busy in the room.
"Remain, Mih?" keyla asked as she scratched her non-itchy head.
Naila smiled and grabbed Keyla's body. "Again prepared to welcome the arrival of Om Adnan's family."
"Welcome the arrival of Om Adnan's family? Why is their arrival welcomed like this, there is something special, huh?" asked Keyla in confusion.
"Jeez, Mami forgot to tell you that Om Adnan and Aunt Arumi will be here soon to bed you, Key!" naila replied with great enthusiasm even her face looked very happy at that moment.
"What?!" cry Keyla. "Applying? What Mami means, Keyla doesn't understand."
"Hey, Pretty Girl! Ardhan wants to propose to you soon. You're happy, aren't you?" naila said as she gently stroked Keyla's cheek.
However, Naila's estimate was wrong. Instead of being happy, Keyla looks frustrated after knowing that Ardhan will propose soon.
"Why did Mami just say it now? I'm not ready yet, Mih!" joan Keyla panicked.
"Well, how could that be? Didn't you like Ardhan all this time? That's why Mami doesn't need that for you anymore, Keyla. Because according to Mami, you must agree," Naila said as she looked at Keyla's face with a look of wonder.
Keyla retreated her steps and began to move away from Naila with a sad look on her face. "Key should go back to the room."
"Well, Key?!"
Keyla ran towards her room while Naila followed her with quick steps.
"Wine! What else is a child?! Where have I played agree-agree again," muttered Naila as she stepped into Keyla's room.
Upon arrival in front of Keyla's room, the door of the girl's room was sealed shut and Keyla locked herself in there.
"Key, Mami needs to talk! Open the door, Key" Naila said, knocking on the door.
Keyla was silent as she stared at the door. He was upset that Naila made the decision without asking him first.
"Key!" call Naila again.
Keyla got up from her bed and walked to the door. He opened the door and now saw the Mother standing before him.
"Key, we need to talk!"
"Sit here!" tell Naila while patting the empty space next to her.
Slowly Keyla approached the mother and sat down where her mother had ordered her to.
"Key, I'm sorry Mami. Mom doesn't know that your answer will be like this. Mommy's already agreed to their wishes, Key. If Mami suddenly cancels this event, Mami does not know how Om Adnan and Aunt Arumi react. They'll be very disappointed, Key."
With a sad face, Naila looked at Keyla's face. She hoped her daughter would think about the answer again.
Keyla grabbed a pillow and then buried her face into the chewy object. Naila stroked Keyla's back gently and tried to calm the girl down.
"I'm sorry Mommy, Key."
Keyla raised her head and looked at her.
"Keyla will think about it again, Mih."
"Think well and mature. If indeed you cannot accept it, then subtly refuse so that Ardhan and his family are not disappointed after hearing your decision. Tomorrow night they will come here, Key and Mami hope that whatever your answer will be, is the best for you," Naila said while stroking Keyla's pretty face.
Keyla nodded her head slowly.
. . .
That day Keyla locked herself up. He was really frustrated to hear the sudden proposal. Even until sunset, Keyla was still in her room.
"Keyla, open the door, son."
Naila knocked on Keyla's door with a tray of food and drinks for her daughter.
Not long after the door opened. Naila was aghast because she saw Keyla's appearance at the time. Luckily the tray he was holding did not fall to the floor because he was so surprised.
"Oh my goodness, Key? Why are you being like this?" naila asked while rounding her eyes.
Keyla did not answer. His face, hair and appearance look disheveled. His eyes also look like people who have stayed up all night. Naila immediately entered Keyla's room and placed the tray she had brought on the nightstand.
After putting the tray down, Naila again led Keyla to her bed. He sat Keyla on the edge of the bed and then sat down next to the girl.
Naila stared fixedly at Keyla's disheveled face then questioned the girl's answer.
"How, Key?" ask Naila.
"???"
