Chapter 66
Announcing to Family
Lately the presence of Roy tickled my heart. Made me mad, and just kept thinking about her.
Now we meet every day, for all the reasons Roy used to meet me. Take me to work and pick me up, take monthly shopping, even pick her shoes for work. The little things he kept doing until I felt he was in my head.
And today, he promised to pick me up for a seven-day Alm event. Mira. My heart was pounding waiting for what Mas Fandi would say after the event was over. He asked me to wait after the guests all left.
Roy faithfully stood by me. Although he seemed to show his calmness and relaxed attitude, but still I felt anxious, with the fingertips starting to cool.
Guests began to leave, leaving behind family and relatives who remained. They were still sitting in the living room. It seems like Mas Fandi also asked them to stay for a while.
Roy and I sit among Mas Fandi and Alm's relatives. Mira. My hands got colder as Mas Fandi and his mother also started sitting between us.
"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi..." Greetings Mas Fandi.
Everyone started to focus on Mas Fandi.
"Waalaikumsalam warahmatulli wabarakatuh..." Answer everyone in the room.
"I deliberately gather family and relatives here with the intention and purpose to convey the last mandate of the late Alm. My wife, Mira Lestari."
The family and relatives present in the room looked at each other. They seemed to have no idea that it turned out to be Alm. Mira's mom has a last request without them knowing.
It is only natural that no one knows, because the trust is said through a mobile phone between me, Alm. Mira's mother, Mas Fandi was also witnessed by Roy.
Deg, man,
I got more tense, and occasionally looked at Roy and then looked down.
"Maybe this will be very surprising to all of us, but I have to do Mira's last request for having promised her." Said Mas Fandi again.
I really feel uncomfortable with this kind of situation. Moreover, I accidentally saw Siska who also looked at me with her sharp gaze.
Everyone still listened to Mas Fandi without speaking. This kind of situation made me even more tense and uncomfortable.
"So, when she was taken to the Hospital after the accident, Mira asked for a promise to me and my sister Indah to get married if something bad happened to her."
Suddenly the atmosphere began to boisterous even though only whispers between relatives. The news was very surprising to them. Moreover, the death of Mira was only seven days, and even the grave was still wet.
"And before he died, Mira reminded me to keep my promise at his request." Mas Fandi explained.
Apparently when Mbak Mira was aware of that time, he again asked Mas Fandi to promise.
"Loh, no matter Beautiful dating Roy because it always comes together." Toss one of them.
"I thought so too." Answer the other.
True, it could have been that people misinterpreted our close relationship but had no status. I am still confused by my own feelings.
Somehow these eyes always wanted to look towards Siska. Seemed a look of dislike mixed with hatred when Siska looked at me after hearing Mas Fandi's words.
Not only did Siska look at me, some of Mas Fandi's relatives were also Alm. Mira also looked at me while whispering.
"I beg you not to blame Beautiful. Because this was also beyond his will. As a man who feared sin and had to pay a promise that was a debt, I decided to marry Indah after the Iddah period of four months and ten days. " Mas Fandi said that maybe he realized his family was always glancing at me.
"Did Indah's own sister already agree to this?" Ask one of my brothers.
I looked at the people who were looking at me who were probably curious about my answer. As Mas Fandi said, a promise is a debt that must be paid. And type Alm. Mira's mother asked me while she was still alive, she asked me to promise to marry Mas Fandi on the grounds of caring for her son and husband later when she was gone. I agreed and promised him.
I nodded answering the curiosity of the people in the room. And again Siska was angry, and clenched her hands as our eyes met.
"Yes, that's all."
Again one of the mothers who had entered middle age expressed his opinion.
"Does anyone think anything else?"
"So Bang Roy single dong?" Tackle one of those young ladies who I think is either Mas Fandi or Alm's family. Mira.
Roy only smiled faintly in response to the apocalypse. Moreover, no one else answered Mas Fandi's question until a few minutes had passed.
"Well with this I assume all have accepted my decision. I thank you for the permission and blessing of all my family and relatives."
Fandi stood up.
"Beautiful and Roy, can you come to my office?" Pinta Mas Fandi's.
Roy and I both nodded. Then stood up following Mas Fandi's footsteps. Once we arrived at a room called a workspace, we entered and were about to close the door.
"Wait on! I'm going in too!" Sergeh Siska held the door closed.
"Siska, we have business. You wait outside."
"I don't want Mas, if you suddenly drop how?"
"I'm fine Siska. Come out and wait outside."
Siska's face was sour hearing Mas Fandi's words. He stomped his feet before finally stepping out the door.
"Sit down..." Said Mas Fandi please when making sure the door is closed tightly.
The three of us sat in a teak chair in the room.
"There's something I want to explain to you." Mas Fandi is serious.
I looked at Mas Fandi and Roy.
"What is Mas?" Ask me a curious.
"Looky, Roy and I made a plan. But before I execute that plan, I want to make sure of you."
Mas Fandi looked at me seriously until I became tense over it.
What's up, huh? What plan? I still can't guess what these two men are up to. So I chose him to listen further.
"Beautiful how you feel about me and Roy?"
"Haha?"
Of course I was surprised by Mas Fandi's question that took care of my privacy. I feel like a defendant in front of a judge and a prosecutor. Want to lie afraid of sin, want to say right fear wrong thinking.
"I mean Mas?"
"I want you to be honest about how you feel, because it will affect what I say afterwards."
I nodded, and was more and more confused to answer. I looked one by one at the eyes that were still looking at me. Both Mas Fandi and Roy are waiting for my answer.
I mend*es*ah, exhaling as if squeezing in the chest. Then I tried to feel my own feelings.
"I honestly...."
Seriate...
