ONE NIGHT With BROTHER
Chapter 52. ONE NIGHT WITH BROTHER

Khayra nervously grabbed Barra's hand to stand up. "I'm so happy with the surprise you gave me, I didn't think you were going to propose to me tonight, Barra" Khayra said.

Barra looked at Khayra's face without a blink waiting for the answer that would come out of the tiny mouth of the woman he loved.

Barra was still waiting for Khayra to give an answer to her declaration of love. Seeing Khayra who was just silent, Barra again made a sound.

"Khay, I know you still doubt my love because I betrayed your trust. I have no right to ask you about anything, but I want to say that my love for you will live forever. I beg you, forgive me. I said "I love you" and I meant it. But I hurt you, now "I'm sorry" and I mean it too."

Khayra stood up from her seat, standing before Barra. Khayra held his hand.

"True love is not how you forgive, but how you forget, not what you see but what you feel, not how you listen but how you understand, and not how you let go but how you survive" Khayra said.

"Thank you Khayra. How can I say the words, "I'm sorry" when I know that those words are not enough? And how can I ask you to forgive me when I know I can't forgive myself? I'm really sorry for everything I've done" Barra said with regret.

"I don't know where I stand with you. And I don't know what I mean to you. All I know is that whenever I think of you, I want to be with you. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you. Hold my hand, and I'll go anywhere with you."

Barra seemed shocked to hear the last sentence that Khayra said. "Does that mean you accepted my proposal, Khay?" barra asked in a loud voice out of happiness.

Khayra did not answer Barra's question, only nodding his head in response. Barra hugged Khayra tightly.

"People say that falling in love only happens once, but they're not right. Every time I see you, I fall in love, again and again. You are the one who shows up first when I start the day and you will always be there when I go to bed at night" Barra said enthusiastically.

"I love you this heart, tomorrow and forever."

"I don't need a word of love and dread, but a real proof of all that you say."

"Alright, Honey. I'll prove it by marrying you the day after tomorrow. We can get married first and party later when Mama has been able to make peace with her heart. I thought you would reject my love."

Barra invited Khayra to sit down and then pinned the ring on the woman's ring finger as a binding sign.

Without a blink Khayra looked at the ring pinned on her ring finger. Without being able to weatherable tears fall down her smooth cheeks.

"I only think about people. What will people say if we get married. After separating from Mas Ferdi I married you."

Khayra thought about all of that. It was thought to reject Barra's proposal, but Khayra also realized not always we despite hearing their words. It is not they who feed us.

Sometimes, being a thing that is often heard about listening to the words of others is indeed difficult to avoid. Therefore it is very important to select what is said from others for us. If the words are good, we can absorb them because basically we as humans are not free from mistakes.

Actually the words of others can be positive or negative depending on us filter the words. Even if the words are criticism and constructive input then it is legitimate if we accept it but if the words are excessive then we have the right to reject it.

By we can filter the words of others make us not burdened with the words of people who make stress. And on the other hand we are able to maintain mental health.

"Khayra, sometimes there are times when we ignore people's talk for our happiness. Because a lot of people are too smart to judge others but it's a pity that he's too stupid to judge himself."

"Barra, does your Mama agree and approve if we get married?" ask Khayra.

Khayra remembered that Mama Barra did not like her presence, what else if she knew she would marry Barra.

"I'm a boy. If I think my choice is right, no one can ban it."

"All I leave to you. If Mama still can't accept my presence, I want us to fight together to be approved."
