A Friend from Malaysia

Will You Marry Me

"I'm here to deliver the resignation letter" Yolanda told Nadira.

Nadira looked at Yola in disbelief. Almost a month the woman he knew was the wife of his boss was out of work. And these days Ilham is in a bad mood. And now he's coming just to deliver a resignation letter?

"Hm .... Yola, did you have a fight with Ilham?" nadira asked heartily.

Usually Ilham always confided to him that he had a problem. After the incident on the night of the N-one Grocery anniversary event, Ilham had looked very happy for some time. And Nadira was able to conclude that there was something beautiful going on between Ilham and Yola that night. Nadira could guess. But these days Ilham looks moody and very angry. It made Nadira feel anxious about it.

Yola took a breath.

"I will marry Hafiz" Yola told Nadira.

"Ape????" Nadira looks surprised. "Wedding? With Hafiz? Yolah! Do you realize that the ape-pade you said? Hafiz is Ilham's sister, isn't he?" 

Nadira was very emotional to hear the news from Yola.

Yola just silently looked at the outpouring of emotions Nadira showed. Nadira alone can be emotional especially Inspiration?

Seeing Yola just silent unruffled made Nadira's emotions go down as well. Then he sat down and tried to calm down.

"alright. Kite hasn't known him for long. But I can't believe that you're capable of doing this for no reason, can you, Yola?" tanyakanya.

"Huffft .... I don't know what to answer" Yola complained. "I don't have an explanation for that."

"But you love Inspiration, right?"

Yola smiled bitterly.

"Love will be of no use if my parents don't agree" Yola replied.

"Then they agreed with Hafiz?"

Yola nodded.

"If not for Hafiz, they will marry me to someone else. I don't want to" replied Yola.

"I just saw this selfish side of you, Yola, and then don't you think how Hafiz feels? You married her just to use her for your sake. Where's your feelings?" reply Nadira.

"I know. But I can learn to love her later" replied Yola.

"You sure you can love him?"

Yola nodded despite the doubt.

Outside Nadira's room, Ilham silently listened to the conversation. His heart ached hearing Yola's confession. It turns out that it was true, Yola still loved him. He was simply helpless against the wishes of his parents. Ilham himself knew that his mother Yola had a heart disorder. And he knew how hard Abhimanyu stood.

After mastering his heart, Ilham took a definite step and knocked on Nadira's door. That made Yola and Nadira shocked to death.

"I want to talk to you" Ilham told Yolanda. "Follow me!"

Yola did not argue. There's no point in avoiding. After all, he still will not be able to completely decide his relationship with Inspiration. They have children together, however.

Ever since the family meeting between Hafiz's family and his family, his father had not bothered him much anymore. Abhimanyu even allowed Yola to go to Malaysia to meet Ammar, noting that Hafiz had to accompany him. Therefore, Yola used this to all give her resignation letter to Nadira as Director of Personnel or Director of HRD.

Inspiration led him into his room.

"Sit down!" said inviting.

Yola sat facing Ilham.

"So what need did you come here for?" Ask the Inspiration of Yola. And that seems formal.

"I just want to give you a letter of resignation" Yola replied.

"No! You can't step down. Your resignation letter is not accepted!" Push flat.

"Why? Why can't I resign?" ask Yola objected. "Are we not divorced?"

"It's precisely because kite has divorced, so to ape bring privacy matters into the scope of work? You're a talented marketing director, and N-one Grocery needs you" Ilham explained.

"I still can't" Yola replied insisting on refusing.

"You remember, you're still on a 1-year, 11-month contract at N-one Grocery" Ilham said.

"I'll pay the penalty" Yola replied.

Inspiration smiles.

"You may be able to pay the penalty, but if you refuse saye, you can make sure you can never meet Ammar again" Ilham threatened.

"White!!!!" yola's screams don't take it.

A slight smile bloomed at the corner of Yola's lips unnoticed.

"So you just think, otherwise, I had plans to bring Ammar to stay in Berlin. You will never see him again" said Ilham.

"Why are you doing this?" ask Yola annoyed.

"Hmmm ...." Seems to think. "I want progress for N-one. You don't have to worry. I'm not interested in a woman who's having an affair with her own sister-in-law."

The words of Inspiration seemed to pierce the heart of Yola. He was sad to hear it. But he had no other choice.

"Well, then give me some time to negotiate with my fiance first" Yola replied bitterly.

One same. Inspiration was hit to hear it.

"OKAY. Saye gave me two days. The day after tomorrow you can go back to work or you can't meet Ammar forever" Ilham replied.

Yola nodded with a heavy heart.

"If it's over, excuse me first."

Meanwhile Ilham left Yola, closed his eyes while breathing out repeatedly.

I'll get you back, honey. Not as a hanye as the daughter-in-law of the Nirwan family, but as a woman I love. From now on, I will pursue you as a man, the Inner Inspiration. 

Divorce is only the beginning of our new relationship, Yolandaku.

                               ******

"Do you mind if I go back to work on N-one?" ask Yola to Hafiz.

That afternoon Yola was in the Gold Century apartment with Hafiz.

"Die force you?" guess Hafiz.

Yola shook her head. However, he could not say that Inspiration forced him.

"It's my own will. I still want to be able to see and hug Ammar. And that would only happen if I was still working at N-one Grocery. Hafiz, you understand me, right?" yola whine.

Hafiz looked at Yola. Geez, how could he refuse that kitten-like expression?

"Alright, but maybe this won't be happy to convince Papa" he said.

Yep. Now Hafiz called Abhimanyu by Papa at Abhimanyu's own request.

"That's exactly what I'm asking for your help, Ndut" Yola rayu as her hand stroked Hafiz's cheek.

Hafiz caught the hand of his future wife with affection.

"To ask me for help is useless, dear" said Hafiz.

"It's not free. Even useful," Yola replied as if she did not understand Yola's intentions.

"I mean not free alias not free," said Hafiz.

"What do you want me to pay for it with?" yola asked as if challenging Hafiz. "Originally not with strange things, yes ...."

"You're afraid of your own husband candidates?" hafiz Goda.

"Not really," said Yola dismissively.

"If that's what it is, you're gonna have to accompany me to the hotel tonight. How's it?" whisky Hafiz. "I want Yolanda Gunawan."

"Hafiz, you don't fuck around, yeah!" yolanda said firmly while throwing a sofa cushion at Hafiz.

Hafiz caught the pillow and laughed at Yola's reaction.

"Haha .... Just kidding. Try to be very angry. I'm hanye taking you to dinner tonight. You want to not? Otherwise, I won't help you talk to Papa about working back in the N-one" Hafiz said.

"Well, if it's just dinner. Comeon!" greet Yola.

"Beautiful dress up, I'll pick you up tonight, kite will be dinner at a high-class hotel later," said Hafiz.

"Cieeeee .... More money huh, Ndut? Do you want a deal at a five-star hotel?" yola Ledek.

"Is,is, ish, is that your attitude towards a husband-to-be who wants to give a romantic dinner with his future wife?" sahut Hafiz did not accept.

"Okay, okay fine."

And by the evening Hafiz had indeed kept his promise. In a black suit she picks up Yola at Gold Century's apartment. And like a real gentleman, he opened the door when Yola wanted to get into her car. As the two arrive in front of the Royale International Hotel, Hafiz opens the car door and invites Yola to exit. After handing over the car keys to the hotel staff, Hafiz opened his arm slightly and signaled for Yola to take him in.

The woman is beautiful with a peach-colored dress that looks very sweet attached to her beautiful body.

They also took the elevator to the top floor that had been previously reserved by Hafiz only for the two of them tonight.

"Vrivhh ...." Yola's eyes are perfectly rounded to see the city of Kuala Lumpur at night from above.

The Petronas Twin Towers, not far from there.

"Somehow? You like it?" ask Hafiz 

Yola nodded happily as she unceasingly marveled at the beautiful sight.

"Hu uh, this is beautiful, Ndut ...."

"As beauty as you are ..." whispered Hafiz who had suddenly been behind him.

Yola looked at the handsome face that used to have the puffed-up cheek.

Suddenly Hafiz knelt in front of him while opening a ring box.

"Yola, I've known you for a long time. Since kite is still in its teens, we look at each other's kite growth and development. All this time maybe you don't know, because I never told you, that I have been in love with you for a long time, Yolanda Gunawan. You've been married twice, for whatever reason. But tonight, I will say it. Yolanda Gunawan, will you marry me?" 

Yola swallowed her saliva. Jesus, she had already agreed to marry Hafiz. But he did not expect Hafiz to prepare a moment of proposal like this for him. Yola became nervous because of it and looked at Hafiz with a wink of disbelief.

"Come on, will you accept it or not? I'm ashamed that you don't accept it" whispered Hafiz with a joke as he glanced at some hotel staff he had prepared to help him smooth out the moment of this proposal.

The staff were smiling and looking forward to Yola's reply. Yola closed her eyes. Ilam and Ammar were there. Taking a deep breath, Yola answered him.

"Yes. I will marry you."

Hafiz smiled happily and pulled Yola's hand and pinned the ring on her ring finger.

"I'll make you happy always, Yolaku!"

Applause and fireworks prepared by the hotel staff decorated the night.

No one knew in Yola's heart she was devastated. But .... He can't back down anymore.
