Three days later, Haikal decided to drive. He feels so much better than before. And he felt very grateful, after a few months of not driving the car.
Haikal decides to go to Aruna's house, coincidentally the woman is off work. He had made a phone call before.
Now, the man was already in the guest room of Aruna's house.
"Are you sure you're fully recovered?" aruna asked to make sure and the man nodded.
"Yes, I'm recovering, Aruna."
"Thank God if so. I'm glad to hear that too."
"Thank you, yeah. You're taking care of me right now until I recover now."
"Yes, equally. It's also my duty to take care of you."
"Obligation as a wife?"
"Hm?" Aruna looks wrong. "No. It's my duty because you saved my daughter" Aruna replied later.
"Always that's the reason" said Haikal lirih.
"What did you say?" aruna asked not very clearly what Haikal had just said.
Haikal. "No, I didn't say anything."
"Oh ..."
"Ah yeah, where's Elona?" haikal asked then while looking for the figure of the boy.
"Elona was taking a nap. I made milk for him and then he slept."
"It's good that Elona is sleeping."
"Why good?" ask Aruna wonder.
"What?" Aruna curious.
Haikal who was originally sitting on a single sofa is now moving to a long sofa next to Aruna. The woman looked nervous as soon as Haikal suddenly approached.
"What do you want?" Aruna was about to shift her seat, but Haikal quickly held back by grabbing her hand.
Aruna gulped his saliva hard. His eyes stared at the hand in hand and stared at the man's face in turn. His face stiffened, his heart was racing above normal and his breathing was now restrained.
Haikal took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He looked at both of Aruna's eyes.
"Aruna, I don't want to delay any longer to express my feelings towards you. Honestly, I'm very interested in being part of your little family. I want our relationship not to be as you limit it as a friend. I want our relationship to be more than that. I'm willing to be a husband and father for your daughter" Haikal said.
Aruna stared at Haikal's bead in turn. His mouth felt in the lock so he had trouble talking. His feelings are no longer out of order.
"If you don't mind making me your husband and father, I'll be very happy and grateful. I'll be grateful to you for accepting me as part of your little family. But if you stay strong on your side, assuming I'm just a friend, I won't force you either and we'll stay friends. Forever we'll be friends and I'll try to erode these feelings."
Aruna is getting confused. On the one hand he also actually has other feelings for Haikal, but on the other hand he is still afraid to start a new story.
"Don't just because one man hurt you, all the men you think are the same."
Aruna was silent, she was confused as to what to answer. He is still confused about his own feelings.
Haikal was still faithfully waiting for Aruna's answer, but the woman was silent and would not speak. Maybe Aruna will always just think of him as a friend.
Haikal took off his hand.
"It's okay, I won't force you, Aruna. I will not suppress your feelings. You take it easy, I'm not angry. Maybe I am too hopeful for you. Until we forget that what we want can't always get."
Aruna was still silent, not because she deliberately silenced the man. But his mouth was hard to speak.
