THE DISCONTINUE!¡
CHAPTER 9: BLUSH
Halwah was surprised, when she arrived home she was greeted by the mother with a worried look. The woman immediately took Halwah to the room and chose her nice clothes.
“Mother? Wh why? What's up?” halwah asked, he felt even more astonished when his father also appeared in the doorway with a face that was not much different from his mother.
“Let's Mommy explain, now wear this!”
Halwah just complies, she still tries to be a good girl even when she is pulled into a car that drove into a large mansion in elite housing. The girl understood a little now, if now they were to visit someone so special in the city. Mr. Lazuardy, the second rich man in town.
“How is Mr Lazuardy?”
“He is awake, let me take you to the top.”
The interior of the typical Turkish room welcomed Halwah, he was fascinated by the many calligraphy carvings on the walls are so beautiful. The girl just sat quietly outside the main room of this magnificent mansion, letting her two parents finish their sudden affairs inside.
Halwah was too busy admiring the interior of the room until she was unaware the large door beside her was open, featuring a young man figure of responsibility with a white t-shirt with an olaf image. The first heir to Lazuardy.
“Grandfather told you to come in,”
Halwah gasped in shock, she even forgot how to breathe her surprised crotch. The girl gulped with difficulty, then sighed and looked back at the young man before her now.
“Ka-kalan?”
“Ya?”
“Astaghfirullah!”
The lazuardy? Kalandra Lazuardy's? Inner Halwah, the girl just realized one forgotten fact. He was surprised when he entered the room and the rich old man who was lying weak now cried to look at him.
He looked at the mother confused, making her mother even give a shady smile while rubbing Halwah's hair. The girl then glanced at Kalan who was just silent with a flat look fixed on her grandfather.
“So, are you Halwah?”
Halwah flinched, she turned to the origin of the voice. A bayah man in a neat suit stood out while looking at him intensely. “I-Yes sir! Eh sir?” answer Halwah bumbling.
“I Qiyas Lazuardy, Kalan's father, your future husband.”
“What?!”
Aware of his attitude, Halwah immediately covered her mouth using a palm, then glanced at her parents who only gave a gaze that she should hear the explanation of the creepy man who did not stop staring at her intensely.
“It's okay, it's natural that you're surprised. Today is sixteen years old?”
Halwah just nodded, she was still shocked by the sentence ‘prospective husband’
Halwah nodded again, how could she forget her grandfather's last will saying she should marry the first male descendant of her best friend?
“Okay, then today also marry my son.”
Halwah nodded again, she was not aware of her behavior which made the five adults in the room smile grandly. Until the girl came to her senses and looked at the horror towards Kalan whose expression still remained the same; flat.
‘A-what?! Married married?! Now then?! My son? Doesn't Lazuardy have only one son?!’
O Allah, what should Halwah do? He is even this hypocritical with his own thoughts now. His heart was longing, but what would happen to his school?
--
“So, you were worried about your school then?”
Halwah nodded, she again stuffed the apple into her mouth without looking at Kalan who was busy feeding the koi fish in the pond. The two spend the day at home alone, relaxing and occasionally playing games.
“I think your Papa will forbid me to school and give you rules I have to give birth to many children!” said Halwah, it makes Kalan painstakingly hold back laughter. Even as he remembered, Kalan did not think that far when he first heard the news of their sudden marriage. At that time, Kalan even thought otherwise.
“Papa is not such a person, then why not refuse that day?”
Halwah turned around, staring in full search at Kalan who somehow this morning was so much talk and ask. Ah, Halwah is sometimes confused by Kalan's attitude. Sometimes he speaks a thousand languages and only uses signals, but sometimes, Kalan always talk a lot and like to know everything.
“Ke-why?” halwah asked nervously, he was still getting used to the more talkative Kalan attitude change lately, it seemed like Halwah had to rethink this one Kalan attitude. The chatty with the flat face was a little creepy.
“Just want to know?”
Halwah covered her lips, she looked back to the front, towards a small fountain near the swan pond. Halwah likes to play water there every time Kalan goes to school every Saturday. Why did Halwah not refuse that day? His gaze then shimmered, looking up at the expanse of the sky this morning which was so bright.
“Why, yes? Maybe because..” there was a pause, Halwah glanced at Kalan who was staring at him intensely. “Because, I like you?”
The deg!
Coincidentally, the wind blew. Blow out the fragrant aroma of some mango trees that are now bearing fruit, as if the wind includes mixed feelings of Kalan that creeps into the face. Where the second part of his cheeks slowly heated up and displayed a noticeable pink tinge.
Kalan quickly turned away after noticing that, throwing a glance at the pile of weeds that had just been cleared from the front yard. The young man tried hard to cover his embarrassment as well as the heartbeat that is now in the shade, and Kalan missed the met face of Halwah who looked sparkling in the morning sun. Also the two were unaware of the figure of Irsyad and some maids who were now standing still not far from where they were sitting.
