SIRI TITIPAN'S WIFE
CHAPTER 9. HOPELESS

Alan welcomed his friends, they both celebrated graduation and after this each will return to their home country and also to the city of birth for Malaysian citizens.

While Alan will return to Indonesia first before returning to take his specialist degree.

Like Alan, Radit and Keysha meet each year at a cafe in tongkrongan for teenagers, located not far from their old school.

After the event was over, one by one and Alan and his family also returned to the official house provided by the embassy.

"When did you leave Lan?" ask Mother.

"Lusa Bu, because tomorrow there's still something Alan has to take care of on campus."

"What do you think of Datuk's request, Lan?" ask Dad.

"At this time Alan did not want to think about the marriage Well, Alan still wanted to focus on taking the master's degree first. But in order not to disappoint the Datuk family, Alan will fulfill their invitation to visit and get acquainted with his daughter.

"Dad see all this time you always keep your distance from your female friends, why Lan? There is no harm in dating while studying, counting and knowing each other to prepare for the next stage. Dad used to be so with mom, so when Dad already had his own income, then continued to propose to your mother in front of Grandpa" said Dad.

"Lazy Well, Alan would not say just give false hope to them. So, later when Alan is ready and there is a woman who sreg in the heart, yes sat set continued to propose, do not have to date too long."

"It's up to you, the important thing is not to let this father's child become an old virgin" said the father again while patting his son's shoulder.

Alan's mother also gave support, that whoever the woman of Alan's choice will be, while being able to make her son happy, surely the mother agreed. Even though the girl came from an ordinary family. Because, Alan's mother used to also come from a family with lower middle socioeconomic status."

"Thank you Dad, Mom, Alan will definitely bring your daughter-in-law home, when it's time."

Hearing Alan's answer, the father and mother understood that his son was not ready for marriage in the near future.

"Go get some rest, son, you must be tired" Mother asked.

"Yes ma'am, Alan said goodbye first."

Alan went to his room, he breathed a sigh of relief because the father and mother did not force him to marry Datuk's daughter.

When Alan was about to fall down, there was a phone call coming in from Radit, Alan was glad his best friend would remember and wanted to ask when he would fly to Indonesia.

"Hallo Mr. Doctor," said Radit, as Alan received his phone call.

"Hallo is also Mr. Boss, how are you guys there?"

"We're healthy and I have some good news Doc! You're the first person I've told. It turns out good intentions, not as easy as turning the palm to make it happen," Radit said.

"What's the news, Boss? Did you manage to spread your wings again?" ask Alan.

"That's the first, but this one's even happier. I managed to get my biggest wish, which since High School I've been waiting for."

Hearing that, Alan's heart felt stopped beating, his chest tight and his body suddenly seemed to be powerless and he sat limp as his hands trembled holding a cellphone.

Alan could already guess what Radit was going to say. Fortunately Radit did not use video calls, so he could not see Alan's current state.

"Eh.iya Dit. Sorry, I'm messing with my laptop, there's a file that I have to prepare for the application to work in the hospital," said Alan forced to lie.

"Oh, you're bothered, then, tomorrow we'll just continue to talk."

"Not Dit, just continue. My job is almost done, just print."

"Do you remember what my biggest wish was in High School?"

"Yes, I remember. You want to be Keysha's girlfriend" Alan said as he adjusted his breathing to keep from getting crowded.

His hopes are dashed right now, Alan has lost the woman of his dreams, before he could tell about his feelings.

"Hahaha, it turns out that my best friend is indeed worthy of thumbs up, you still remember it well Lan!"

"Heemm, I remember all about the three of us and that I will never forget to death" Alan said, holding onto his still-unstable chest.

"I'm lucky to have a friend like you Lan! Oh yeah, you definitely didn't expect, it's more than I expected."

"Keysha not only accepted me as a boyfriend, she accepted my proposal. Last night I shot him by giving him a surprise dinner that I had designed as romantic as possible" Radit said.

"Congratulations Dit, I'm happy. May you soon be united in marriage."

"It's not quite as smooth as Lan, it's that Keysha has already received a ring from me as proof of our commitment, but she's put forward requirements that I haven't met."

"What are the requirements of Keysha Dit?" asked Alan curiously.

"I have to get the approval from my parents first, then Keysha will accept me and invite me to meet his family in the village."

"If that's all that's hard, you just have to say and invite your father and mother to propose to Keysha officially in front of his family. After all, what to wait for again, you have become a young entrepreneur and Key also I am sure his submission to become a lecturer will soon be accepted. No university will reject the best and potentially best graduates like Keysha" said Alan.

At this moment Keysha's face was smiling, a face that could not be lost from Alan's heart and mind, even though he had gone far across the ocean.

"Lan, you still hear me?" ask Radit.

"Yes Dit. So you haven't told your family about this?"

"I told Lan you were the first person I told you about this news. I want to share my happiness with my true friends first, then someone else I tell."

"Don't procrastinate on good things Dit, aren't you afraid that Keysha will change his mind or be taken by another man?"

"Eh, no. I could die Lan, if I lose her. For years I have struggled to stay by his side, against every problem that comes, the time has got a green light I was in vain" Radit said.

"Good then. Remember Dit! Do not ever waste him, which you have worked hard to get. I, as a friend of the two of you, plead for Keysha's happiness. You know, how many men have their hearts broken when they hear this news?"

"Yes Lan, I know. There are a lot of good men waiting for Keysha's love answer. I, the luckiest man and I promise to make Key's life happy and I will never let him go, unless Keysha is unhappy with me and also just because death separates."

Though Alan's heart ached at the moment, but at least he was grateful, Key fell into the hands of the right man. Radit is a kind, loving and responsible man who loves Keysha very much.
