"What, Doctor sir? Going together?" laila exclaimed in shock when Halim came to her house and asked her to come as her partner at Dara-Zaki's wedding later.
It is night, and the sacred event will be performed tomorrow. But Halim only had time to visit Laila's house tonight, at the clock.
"I-yes, Sister Laila. You don't mind, do you? Keep the same ...." Halim choked up as she was about to continue her sentence.
"What's the same, Doctor?"
Halim rubbed his face for a moment and then spoke again even though with his head down in shame.
"Sama ... Mbak Laila's family is also if possible," his great-grandson was slow, but it can still be heard by Laila.
Laila gasped, but she did not reveal it too much. Especially now they are only two on the porch of the simple house, because Elis is in charge of packing the twins in the house of Mr. Jatmika since yesterday.
"What do you mean, Doctor? Sorry, I don't understand that much." Laila tried to dodge, though her heart was now cheering with excitement in her silence.
Hidden behind ayu's face and shade.
"Anu .. so ... Ma'am Laila came with me to his wedding event Mbak Dara and Pak Zaki, while ... while yes .. yes it is, take the family of Mbak Laila all you guys," said Halim clumsy.
Laila actually understood Halim's intentions, only she was confused as to who she should take with her while her family was left with only Elis.
"Which family are you, sir?" tanya Laila deliberately insists.
Halim looked confused. "Byeah, the Mama's family. Yes father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, brother, sister, that's so ...."
Laila smiled bitterly. "Yes, I know that, sir. The problem is that I don't have them anymore."
Tests
A drop of tears fell on Laila's cheek, despite having held her all over quietly, she said, but finally the clear circle found its way also to come out representing the heart of Laila who arrived suddenly remembered the two parents who had gone home.
Halim seemed excited, he did not seem to know the background of the Laila family and even casually asked without knowing that it had made Laila's old wounds open again.
"Mbak Laila, I .. I. .. I'm really sorry, I ...."
"It's not papa, Doctor. I understand, I'm a very crybaby, sorry even make a misunderstanding." Laila tried to smile even though it was bland.
"Ka-then ...." Halim tries to reinforce Laila's answer to her previous invitation.
Laila nodded firmly still with a smile and tears simultaneously adorning her face.
"Well, God willing, sir. But if the doctor asks me to take the family ... I still have, Elis is my cousin's sister," Kekeh Laila who sounds so melodious in Halim's ears.
Looks like Innate is in love. Everything that people do in love always seems beautiful and intoxicating to notice. Well, that's what love is.
Halim smiled happily, then turned around and clasped her fingers tightly with a happy look that could not be explained. Halim turned back to look at Laila, but immediately turned around again because Laila was watching her making Halim's face redden instantly.

"Duh, beautiful who is also a bride," chirped Elis who has since noticed the behavior of the older cousin who does not stop looking at the mirror.
Elis himself is neat with clothes that are the same color as Laila, but with a different stitching model. With hair that decomposes loosely, straight, jet and beautifully decorated a small ribbon at the corner of his ear. Making the appearance of Elis is very charming and can cover up the flaws on his face, you guys remember? Well, the barks.
"Haish, what the hell are you talking about, deck. Let's hunt ahead, hunt the doctor wait a long time." Laila passed by Elis and walked first to the terrace with a flushed face.
"Ecie, who's ashamed. I think that after this Elis will be able to dress uniformly again to be Bridesmaids," kekeh Elis while trailing Laila's hasty steps.
Tin
Tin
Arriving at the terrace, it is true that Halim was waiting for them in his car parked in front of the road separating their house.
"Wait, sir." Laila waved and quickly put on the only sandals she had, rubber sandals with a model like a dull pansus because every day in use to get to and fro and teach at Kindergarten.
Elis stopped in front of the porch when she saw her sister wearing the slippers again, even though Elis had bought a new pair of sandals for her that matched the color of the dress she was wearing. But Laila instead kept it in the closet and was reluctant to use it, he said, because it was bought with money from Elis overtime until he was sick the other day.
"Excuse me!" laila shouted, who had arrived next to Halim's car, waving at him with a bright face even without a thick makeup polish.
Elis immediately ran after his cousin and rushed in to leave, Laila was sitting in the front seat while Elis was in the back seat. So that Halim feels appreciated and not considered a driver.
"We go straight away, yes" said Halim while turning on the engine of his car.
Laila and Elis compactly nodded, and slowly the car began to slide towards Mr. Jatmika's house where the event would be live.
It didn't take long, they finally arrived at the grand mansion owned by Mr. Jatmika. Halim went out first and opened the door for Laila. Elis even covered her mouth with her hands to see how romantic Halim treated her brother. In his heart he was increasingly convinced that it was his brother's soul mate.
"Thank you, Doc ...." Laila did not continue her sentence, her eyes widened wide while looking down.
Curious Elis also turned his head to see what Laila saw.
"Subhanallah," heed Elis as he looked out there precisely under the car, looking as if Halim was crouching with a pair of glass shoes that looked very beautiful in his hands.
Laila looked stunned, until she lost her word.
"Sir, if you get to the application you have to accept, Ma'am. Just gotta!" whispered Elis who was very nervous.
Moreover, Laila who is currently thrusting hope before her eyes?.
"Mbak Laila, sorry if this is sudden, but .. I can't think of a more appropriate moment or time, I. But ... but with this I want to say that I ... I .. fall in love with Laila, sincere love until it feels like I can sacrifice myself for happiness Laila said. With this, I convey ... is Ma'am Laila willing to wear these glass shoes and be my wife?" halim said firmly but sounded full of tenderness and deep affection.
Laila was still glued in place, she did not even dare to move a little even to lower back her legs which were now hanging in the air. A drop of tears fell down her smooth cheeks again, with beautiful eyes staring in disbelief.
