TWILIGHT IN MEIRA'S HEART
Episode 8
Saturday afternoon was a busy time for Meira. How not? Meira takes approximately two hours to stretch, bathe, and shampoo. After that he was busy with sorting out the clothes he would wear later. Whereas from a few days ago, he had fixed wearing the dress he bought with Farah some time ago. But not knowing why this afternoon he suddenly changed his mind to try another one as well. Maybe there is something more suitable.
Meira took some dresses from inside the closet and placed them on the bed. Fortunately she did not have many party dresses, so she was not too confused to make a choice.
He chose a short peach-colored dress, then placed it on his body, in front of the mirror he tilted his body left and right, then narrowed his eyes.
“Short and the color is too cool for party at night.”
Meira took her new black dress. The dress was clean and fragrant. Meira wanted to try on the dress once again. After wearing it, he went out of the room to meet the mother who was watering plants on the terrace, to ask for an opinion.
“This is a good thing Ma?” ask Meira.
“Good, look sweet you Mir” praise Mama.
“Still Ma.”
Then Meira went back to the room, to look at herself in front of the mirror.
“Good sih” he said slowly
But Meira wanted to try another shirt once again. He's picking up a mustard color shirt now. After wearing it he went back to meet Mama who was still on the terrace.
“If this dress how Ma?”
“Yang it's good too.”
“Ok Ma, thanks”
Meira turned around and returned to her room. She realized just how much Mama thought in terms of clothes, completely unreliable. Whatever Meira wears, Mama always thinks it's good. Mama did not care whether the clothes Meira wore were red, yellow, green, floral motifs, or what made Meira look fat though. Unless the dress is short, then Mama will say, “Mir, is it not too short?”
“Hmm.. indeed this black dress is the most suitable,” murmured Meira.
He looked at the clock in his room.
“Wahhh, it's almost 17.00,” pekikiknya.
His time had been spent choosing clothes, while he had not had time to dress up and arrange his hair.
Meira pokes her hair, so it's tidier. After that, he started to put his face on. Meira chose a bold red lipstick, then wore thin eyeliner, mascara and did not forget to stick eyeshadow gold color.
He looked at his face in the mirror.
“Lumayan is also the result of my makeup,” he said satisfied.
After feeling enough, Meira went down. She saw Mom preparing dinner.
“Papa has not returned from tennis Ma?”
“But”
“Tumben clock is not home yet.” Meira was worried.
“Papa said, would you stop by the light shop, because the back bathroom lights are off.” Obviously Mama
“Ohh gitu.”
“Oh yes, Deni pick you up at what time Mir?” ask Mama
“Perhaps in a moment Ma, now he is still on his way here”
“Haloo all”
Papa showed up in the dining room
“Nahhh.. that Papa has gone home” exclaimed Meira
“You want to go to Mir? Are you not overdone?” Papa's surprised to see Meira.
“Papaaa!” peekkik Meira
“Meira wants to go to Pa's wedding,” Mama said
“Ohh.. Papa thinks, want to go on a weekly night like always.” Papa laughed
“Papa nih, Mira already dandan gorgeous gini, cook do not know if this makeup to the party,” grumbled Meira.
Mom and Dad looked at each other and laughed.
Thiin….
“Nah... hear it Mir, you've been picked up,” Papa said
Meira takes her handbag on the table.
“Mira left first yes Pa, Ma” Meira kissed her parents' hands.

Deni is so fascinated to see Meira's beauty when Meira gets into his car. The look in his eyes gave off a deep admiration.
“You why do I like that Den?”
“I don't fit ya wear this dress?”
“If you don't like it, I can change another shirt.”
Deni hurriedly replied.
“Nggak Mir, do not change.Just you fit the shirt, I like.”.
Meira was silent
“Really...you are beautiful once” praise Deni.
Meira could feel her cheeks blushing when she heard herself being praised like that.
“You know, Reno always told college friends, if Deni has a beautiful girlfriend once.“
Meira gasps. “Keep you said what's the same of them?”
“I said, yes obviously I have a beautiful girlfriend, because I am also handsome.”
“Narsis you ya” Meira blown
“They want to see your photos, then I show your photos to them”
“Trus?” Meira wants to know.
“They don't believe, they say I'm lying, they also accuse me of taking your photos from other people's social media.”
“O yes?” Meira's laughter restrained.
“Iya” Deni nodded
“They asked for proof that the photo in my phone was my girlfriend.”
“Hahh Meira is still gawking
“And now is the time to prove to them that I really have a very beautiful girlfriend.” Deni was proud.
Meira shook her head while laughing.
“There-there are yes friends you”
“But how can they not believe that you have a girlfriend?”
Deni shrugged his shoulders. “Entah.”
“Perhaps because from the first I was too difficult to get close to women,” Deni smiled thinly
“You alone can conquer me,” Deni turned his head and blinked his eyes.
Meira smiled looking at Deni.
Deni grabbed Meira's hand and grabbed her.
“I used to not understand the meaning of anxiety. I felt that anxiety was an insignificant emotion. But now I understand that a person feels restless because he is happy. Just like when I know you, the disturbing feeling arises because there is a sense of kangen, there is a strong desire to meet, chat or just pay attention to you from afar. And at that moment I realized that I was in love.”
Deni kissed Meira's back.
“But why can you like and then fall in love with me, while many beautiful women out there?” Ask Meira.
“Because you are so special. Your sincerity and humility and what you are is what makes me fall in love with you. Beauty is not only a matter of physical because physical beauty will actually fade over time. There is something more lasting than that: beauty from within. Physically beautiful people are many, but not all can radiate beauty from within, and you have both Mir, physical beauty and beauty from within.”
According to Meira, Deni is also a very special man, in addition to having a beautiful face, Deni is also always there when he needs it. Deni loved her with all her advantages and disadvantages. That's why Meira's love for Deni is so deep.
Meira shifted her seat, to get closer to Deni, then leaned her head on Deni's shoulder.
