Alan finished singing the song, the lights in the place were again bright and that's when Alan approached Rena and gathered before the woman he loved so much while removing a box containing a beautiful white ring.
“Rena, as you heard in the lyrics of the song earlier that all this time I harbored my love for you. I love you, Rena. Let me prove this earnestness by making you my companion. Will you accept my proposal and make me your life partner?” Alan Pinta.
Rena was only fixated on hearing the words of the man who was now resting before her. Tears dripped down his cheeks, without being able to be weaved. Because even though he could not hide the happiness that was in his heart. However, to answer all of Alan's questions, it felt like for now he was still hesitant.
Rena bit her lower lip, she was still confused as to what to answer. On the one hand, he could not deny that there was an undeniable affection for the man who was now resting before him. However, the wounds and fear he still felt made him feel reluctant to step into the fold. Before, he made sure that this man really had a seriousness to him.
“Then give me proof of your sincerity,” That sentence finally came out of Rena's lips.
“Prove what you want?” ask Alan.
“I ask that now you and your parents meet with both of my parents to ask me specifically to them and that it must not pass from today," challenge Rena.
Rena deliberately gave the challenge so that Alan gave up because it was impossible for him to quickly do the application process as requested by Rena.
Surely if Alan wants to do that, he must immediately leave this event, meet his mother's father and then both of Rena's parents. However, the reaction that was completely unexpected by Rena, was shown Alan. His smile expanded, as if Rena's request was very easy to do.
“It's true you're going to ask for it,” Alan said.
“Means Brother Alan?” asked Rena confused.
Alan did not answer. He enjoyed the confusion of Rena. Then, he codes someone with his index finger. The lights of the room went out again. Only a light emanating from a projector showed video footage presented to the guests present in the hall. Rena's eyes are rounded, her mouth slightly open when looking at the contents of the video recording.
“Sister Alan,” cried Rena in disbelief at what she saw.
“Why Rena? This is not what you asked for,” said Alan as he blinked one eye.
Although the room is dark, but the light from the video footage is bouncing towards Rena and Alan so that his friends can still watch the interaction of the two people who are in front of them.
“Ciee.. it looks like Rena, will not be able to dodge anymore,” said Dina who was not far from them.
“Great, you Lan. Your plan this time is perfect,” said Arka chimed.
“Accept...receive.....,” cried Iyus who was then followed by his other friends.
Hana and Haikal who were near Rena just dumbfounded to see the scene.
Moreover, seeing his mother who was completely speechless again.
“Kok, there is a video of Grandpa and Grandma there, Kak?” ask Haikal.
“Yes, Brother is also confused. When Om Alan to Grandpa and Grandma's house huh?” ask Hana to herself.
The Flashback
That day Alan thought of Faizal's words about trying to find information about Rena's feelings for Reni, his sister. Alan checked his phone. He remembered Reni once gave him her mobile number. Alan pressed the phone number, waiting for the owner to pick up the call.
“Iya, hello,” said Reni.
“Halo, Assalamualaikum, Reni,” greet Alan.
“Waalaikumsalam, yes, Brother Alan, what is it? Tumben calls Reni usually also called Kak Rena,” asked Reni without stale.
“What do you think I mean call you?” ask Alan back.
“Emmm... (think for a moment), it seems like Alan Kak wants to pry information about Kak Rena same Reni deh. Not exactly Reni's guess?” said Reni.
“True once, Reni. You're smart,” praise Alan.
“Sure, dong.. whose sister used to be? Oh yeah, what information does Alan want to know from Kak Rena?” ask Reni.
“How do you think your brother feels about me?” ask Alan.
“Why Brother Alan, again upset? It's not that usually Brother Alan likes his own spiciness,” ledek Reni.
“Reni, I'm serious,” Alan said.
“Oke. okay.. listen yes Brother Alan, if according to Reni actually Kak Na like Kak Alan, but it seems like that Kak Na is still difficult to open her heart from any man. The wounds and disappointment that Kak Na has felt makes him unable to easily believe in men,” said Reni.
“Then do you think that if I propose to your brother right now, will he accept it?” ask Alan.
“It looks like Kak Na will resist for various reasons,” replied Reni.
“So like that yeah,” says Alan disappointed.
“But Brother Alan doesn't have to worry about that, ” Reni said.
“You mean?” ask Alan.
“How?” ask Alan.
“Sir Alan had to come to my parents' house to propose to Kak Na,” Reni replied.
“Come to your parents' house?” alan asked in shock.
“Yes, Brother Alan must come to my parents' house with his mother Brother Alan to ask Kak Na to father and mother,” replied Reni.
“But what if your brother gets angry?” ask Alan.
“Kak Na don't need to know first about this. Let this be a surprise for Na. After all Reni is sure Kak Na will not be angry because Reni knows Kak Na is very affectionate and appreciates the opinions of father and mother,” Reni replied to convince Alan.
Alan finally agreed with Reni's proposal. Then, he immediately contacted his parents to propose Rena to him to Rena's parents.
***
“You sure you're going to propose to Rena this way?” ask Mama Lana.
“Iya, Mah,” replied Alan briefly because frankly at this time he really felt groggy because he would meet with both of Rena's parents directly.
“Newly this time Papa knows, we will propose to a woman without being known the bride,” said Papa Kevin astonished.
“Iya, maybe more precisely not applying for Pa, but asking for blessing because that way it will be easy for Alan to carry out the next plan,” replied Alan.
“Emang what's your next plan?” ask Papa Kevin.
Alan told his father the plan he had made.
“Great, you Lan. This is Papa's new son,” Papa Kevin said proudly.
“Still, Pa,” replied Alan.
Their car continued to drive until it reached the residence of Rena's parents. Previously, Rena's parents had also received news about this problem from her daughter Reni. They feel very happy if indeed Rena has found someone who really wants to marry her.
Flashback off
Before Rena answered, her attention was again directed to the video that was still playing Alan. In the video there is a display that contains the opinion of his parents about the proposal that was addressed to Alan to him.
Rena, Honey... Today is the day that Mama has been waiting for. The day a man returns to ask for you. After you see a lot of pain that you have to feel. Mama knows Rena that you've kept a lot of wounds, even though you tried to cover everything from Mama, but Mama can still feel it. I'm really sorry that I once forced you to get married because I was worried that you would become a spinster. That is why, today Mama will not force you again, Mama submit the answer to this proposal completely to you dear. However, one message Mama, make the past as a teacher for you, and never make it as a stone that becomes a barrier to happiness for you and your future children” (said Mama Rena)
Rena, if you want to know Dad's answer about the proposal that came to you, then honestly I replied Dad accepted it. However, everything I give back his decision to you. I hope you can be wise in deciding this issue, never think that all men are the same, you should see Father and Sister Reno. I believe the man who is now in front of you is truly sincere to you (said Father Rena)
Again all that was seen and heard by Rena, made her unable to say anything more. While Alan, still faithfully waiting for answers from Rena.
“Kak.. i. willing,” replied Rena wept.
A smile spread across Alan's face.
“Can you repeat it again,” pinta Alan.
“Sorry, there is no re-broadcast,” replied Rena who can no longer resist embarrassment due to an impromptu proposal made Alan.
Alan smiled happily. Want it he immediately grabbed and hugged the body of the woman he loved so much.
“Eits, What do you want Alan? No hugging Mama, because the only ones who can hug Mama here are Haikal and Sis! Aren't you, Mah?” sahut Haikal answered a nod by Rena that made all who watched the event laugh.
“You are stingy once, Rena,” muttered Alan who only answered a smile by Rena.
“Alright, but let me pair this ring to your ring finger,” pinta Alan.
Rena nodded her head in response, then she stuck her hand out at Alan. Alan received the helping hand, gently touched Rena's fingers, before finally Alan inserted the ring into the ring finger of the woman he loved.
Everyone present at the venue cheered at the sight of the two people before them. Congratulations and prayers accompany the happiness that is in the heart and heart of Rena and Alan.
