*Don't forget the guy*
"Reina's..."
"Hhhh... Bismilbornrahmanirrahim Reina accepted this proposal." Reina finally said. Spontaneously everything in the room uttered hamdalah.
"Alhamdulillah, so can we now set the date?" Sakura gave a suggestion.
"Of course." Reply Risa.
Reina just silently looked at everything that was busy determining the date, occasionally she just smiled. Married, he never really imagined it would be like this. Married someone he just knew. Maybe this is the best for him too.
"Sorry to interrupt, but may I speak to Reina?" Ask Akira to everyone in the room.
"Of course I can." Answer Hanif.
Akira invites Reina to leave the room. He chose a place next to Reina's house which was a garden.
"I was worried you would reject me. Thank you for believing in me." Akira started the conversation.
"Sama-sama" replied Reina.
"So, is there something you want to talk about before our wedding?"
Reina digested the sentence spoken by Akira. Something he wanted to talk about, a lot but he was confused where to start.
"There are a lot of questions in my mind." Reina.
"Ask everyone."
"Hm... Can we live in Indonesia after marriage?"
"Of course I can. As long as it makes you happy."
"If I may know, why do you want to marry me?" Reina did not dare to look at Akira's face from earlier she just lowered her head or looked the other way as she spoke.
"I initially refused to be introduced to you. A lot of women wanted to be introduced to me but I always didn't come. When my mom told me about you, I saw that she wanted me to marry you. Then I told my mom that she wanted me to marry you. Then during our first meeting, I was amazed by you. And there I thought I was making the wrong decision, because I didn't know that the woman you were going to introduce me to was the same woman I met when I caught the pickpocket. The night we were going to your house, I thought I wouldn't come to your house and wanted to find the woman I met while catching the pickpocket. But it turns out that fate is on my side, we're reunited in an unexpected place." Akira looked at Reina and smiled warmly at her.
"Just in a few minutes you can make me so interested in you." Akira imagines their meeting while catching the pickpocket.
"I still didn't expect to marry you." Honest Reina.
"So why did you accept me for what?"
"I couldn't resist my parents' wishes. Previously many men wanted to abuse me, but I always rejected it on the grounds that I was not ready to get married. I don't know, the shadow of the past still makes me reluctant to get married. I'm afraid I'll fail like that." Clearly Reina.
"I promise I won't let you down. Trust me." Akira.
"No need to promise, just do it by doing it right. I'm still traumatized by the promise. I don't know if I can make you happy or not. Remind me if I make a mistake."
'I will make you fall in love with me Reina. I will definitely make you always want to be with me, just wait.' Inner Akira.
***
Reina and Akira's wedding will take place a week from now. And it coincided three days after Aisha's wedding.
"Reina, so how? What did Akira tell you?" Now Reina is where she works with Aisyah.
"He proposed to me." Reply Reina who is still busy with her report.
"You're rejecting him again?" Guess Aisyah.
"No, I take it."
"Alhamdulillah, finally my friend found his partner also, O Allah. So when are you getting married?" Aisha was very enthusiastic.
"Gee... I didn't think it turned out so soon you'd catch up with me. I think it's gonna be a long time to see you're so indifferent to men."
Reina just smiled at Aisyah's words.
"Come on why there's not the slightest look of joy on you. You're gonna marry Reina, start a new life with your partner." Entertain Aisyah.
"Who will marry?" Suddenly doctor Rio was behind the two of them.
"Doctor Rio? What's the need to come here?" Ask Reina.
"Yesterday when I was shopping monthly I saw this chocolate, I thought you'd love it. So I bought it for you." Doctor Rio gave Reina a box of chocolates.
"The doctor shouldn't have bothered to buy me chocolate. I'm replacing it with my money huh." Fresh off Reina, Reina took the money out of her bag.
"No, I deliberately bought it for you. By the way, I heard someone was getting married, who was it?"
"We both." Answer Aisha spirit four five.
"Huh...?" Rio was confused by Aisyah's reply.
"I mean, I used to be married to someone else, only after that Reina was also married by her choice." Aisyah.
"You're getting married? When?" Rio was very surprised to hear that Reina was getting married. If Aisyah he already knew because Aisyah had spread the invitation.
"Hm... God willing next week." Inwardly he was annoyed half-dead at Aisha. Why did Aisha tell him she was getting married.
"Gee... Congratulations, with which person?" It looked as if Rio was very disappointed to hear the news.
"Japanese man, he's father's friend's son." Reply Reina.
"It turns out people are far away, awaited the invitation yes." Rio's speech melted the atmosphere.
"Ah, yes doc."
"Then excuse me, assalamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikumsalam" replied Reina and Aisyah in unison.
After Rio left, Reina immediately stared intently at Aisyah.
"What's wrong?" Aisha asked without sin.
"Why did you tell me I was getting married?" Upset Reina.
"Well, why?"
"That's very embarrassing. I will definitely continue to be questioned with all of them, even though I have rejected them before."
"That's good Reina let everyone know, if you already have a partner that you choose. I'm tired of being your shield, and that's not a shame either." Aisyah.
"But then I'm confused as to how to answer when they ask me."
"Yes, you answer for what is. Let's see doctor Rio until you buy you some chocolate. It seems obvious that he wants to be with you, Rahman who always invites you to berta'aruf? Ali always takes you home together? And the others we don't know about? Many want to be with you, but you refuse. With your attitude like this, it makes them put their hopes on you. Don't you feel sorry for them?" Aisyah.
"You should give them a firm answer. If this continues not only those who sin, but you are also because you are the cause they always imagine you." Added Aisyah.
"I'm sorry, you're right Ayesha." Reina became guilty after hearing Aisyah's explanation.
"I'm sorry, we should have reminded each other." Aisyah smiled at Reina.
Reina hugged her best friend. Only Aisyah was always there beside him when he liked or mourned.
