A DIVIDED HEART

Episode 126. shirt fitting

William and his family are in my house now, as promised this morning they visited and will discuss the date of my marriage with William. Father welcomed the arrival of the candidate besan

(Eaaaaa candidate besan😁😁😁)

"Please sit down, I call Agnes first" Father invited Adiputra and his entourage to sit in the living room. Tonight Oma Mariyam is not with them, she is somewhere and doing other important things

Not long after, I've been down to the living room with Dad. I approached them all and greeted them one by one, I chose to sit one seat with my father opposite William and his parents. The nervousness returned and made me sweat a little

Om Adiputra then expressed his intention without further ado, he confidently reapplied to William. Nervous came back and now increasing, the look of William's face was not much different from mine, he also looked nervous with sweat that now flows on his temple

"I am very grateful to Mr. Adiputra and his family, I myself feel honored because you all still want to give my daughter the opportunity to return to continue this marriage. I as a parent can not refuse or agree what is the talk tonight because the one who will live it is not me but my daughter" Father now faces towards me who is right next to him

"How, Nes. Do you want to take this proposal back?" without a doubt I nodded and a happy smile was re-engraved on William's face, his nervousness slightly lessened

"Thank God, but isn't it you, Will?" om Adiputra looked towards his son

"Yes, Pa. But what does that mean?" William doesn't know what his father means

"Lamar Agnes is directly in front of all of us, isn't she going to marry you and not Papa?" William now knows what the father's words mean, he also returns to regulate his breathing and heart rate. Now he just felt like this was the nervousness of someone who would propose his idol, he did not think this was more thrilling than facing clients or handling bankruptcy that he experienced yesterday

As much as possible, he gathered courage and defeated the nervousness that had occupied him. He was seen wiping the sweat on his forehead and exhaling his breath slowly

"Bismillah" she turned and looked back at me

"Agnes, would you like to come back with me, repeat our story that was delayed and will make it a beautiful story until we age?" those words slid smoothly in William's mouth, nor did he expect to be able to master his previously extremely nervous self

Just a nod of the head that I now do, somehow as if my mouth is locked and very stiff to move, I am still nervous and now plus my admiration for the faithful man who asked me to marry him

"Alhamdulillah" Father, Om Adiputra and Aunt Rosa looked so relieved and happy

"When are we getting married, then?" Aunt Rosa spoke up

"Fastly, before we go back abroad. Isn't faster better?" Om Adiputra put forward his thoughts

"What if this week alone, this weekend?" weigh Dad, a deal is in. Fix, William and I are getting married this week

"Okay, we agree. But do you know where you're going to get married?" Dad shook his head

"I go wherever it is, it doesn't matter to me" And then I say what I've been saying since yesterday to William and his family, where I want to get married, why and what I explained it again

There was no rejection from Dad, he fully supported what I wanted. Given the reasons I've been told, he's no longer weighed in like William and his family

The intimate talk was over, and we all had dinner together at my house. I deliberately asked my ART to cook a lot tonight so I could host William's family. There was no important chat during and after dinner, not long after they all said goodbye and resigned

"We go home first, baby" Aunt Rosa hugged me before she got into her car

"See you tomorrow, Nes" Om Adiputra also said. I greeted the two of them and I finally waved my hand to let William go home

"Come, Nes. I want to talk!" I followed him and sat back in the living room

"Does your mother know about this?" I shook my head

"Nes, I know you're disappointed, I understand that. But it's never going to end if you don't end it yourself, she's your mama no matter what and whatever happens between you can never erase that reality"

"Agnes has forgiven him, Dad. Agnes had also tried to accept everything, Agnes had also spoken to Samuel about everything"

"Good if so, but I hope you're really serious about what you're saying. Come to your mama or at least you tell her, ask her blessing because you will get married soon" I nodded, Dad then stood up he walked towards her room leaving me still silent in the living room

I then stood up and went to my room thinking about when I should actually contact my mom before this weekend. Should I ask Sam for help or should I call him myself

I lay my body down on my favorite bed, my cell phone life and then I look for a contact that I keep there. Mama, I repeatedly saw her name and number, I was still worried about whether to contact her or not

For almost an hour I weighed it, at first I hesitated not knowing what to say when I first heard his voice, and with a steady heart I dared to contact him. The phone connection was long enough to connect but there was no answer from the number owner, I repeatedly tried but the results were still the same. I decided to call her back tomorrow, maybe my mom is doing activities to remember abroad must now be daytime

...***************...

By morning, I was ready for today's plan. After finishing my breakfast, William waited outside. Not long after he came with a handsome smile that now adorns his cheeks that are no longer thin

He walked towards me, his hand holding a bouquet of roses from a distance I could already inhale the scent. He looks very happy

"By, baby!" he handed the flower right in front of my eyes. Happy for sure, even more attention like this is what I expect from him, the attention that is present even though I am not angry, a small attention that can make me smile happy and attention that makes me know if right now I am what he wants

"By the morning, too" I grabbed the bouquet of flowers and kissed them, my smile also expanding my mark of happiness too

"Let off now?" I nodded and followed him into the car. I took the flower bouquet with me

We have reached our destination. A shop, yes a boutique. The plan today we will both fit the wedding dress, although later we will not hold a reception but we have to prepare this shirt for the event ijab qabul. A sacred event that is expected to occur once in a lifetime

We both walked into that place, a simple boutique and not as luxurious as when I was about to marry William first. This is only a home boutique whose work is still manual and directly handled by the owner. I know this place from my mom, because she used to recommend this place. He said the owner of this boutique was his friend and when my mother married he also bought clothes in this place. In addition to that from I also know from social media, many of those who show off have used this boutique design, although not a luxury boutique but has quality

The social media poison intrigued me until I finally visited this place. This place is right on the side of the road, the boutique is also side by side with the owner's house. In this boutique there are not many designs on display because the owner will only make when the customer asks and for example, the owner will usually give the catalog he has and some examples of designs which they have made

"Assalamualaikum, good morning"
