"Khadija Isnaini's. Will you marry me and be my full mother to Kenzo? Spend the old days together with me and see Umar and Kenzo grow up together." Said Ardi sure.
Almost all the pairs of eyes that were in that place widened in shock. They did not expect, the beautiful woman who had been with Maya, was Ardi's lover.
"Lose the spit, Net!" Chirps Roy, who stands not far from Ardi and Aini.
"Yes. We lost the spit." Junet is sad.
Aini stared intently at Ardi's half-standing face with one leg. The face that indeed managed to give a beautiful color in his life after the destruction of his life first.
Aini turned immediately towards Maya. He was confused as to how to answer Ardi's question.
"Answer! Ardi's waiting for your answer." Pinta Maya, who understood Aini's gaze.
Suddenly,,
"Thank you!"
"Thank you!"
"Thank you!"
The atmosphere became very crowded because of the screams of Ardi's friends who supported Aini to receive Ardi's application. Aini became even more nervous and embarrassed because of that.
Aini's brain suddenly empty. He really doesn't know how to deal with the situation right now. He was too nervous to even have trouble speaking.
Aini look around. There was Dika behind Ardi and dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at him. Aini's getting nervous.
Then, Aini saw a slight gap between several people. Aini didn't think long. He walked away from Ardi with a bowed face. Breaking through the people who swarmed him because of Ardi's attitude just now.
"Darling!"
Ardi immediately stood up and followed Aini's steps after saving her ring. He also tried to call Aini to stop first. But Aini instead accelerated her pace. Ardi's friends also gave way for them.
Ardi's feeling was already out of his mind when he saw Aini leave from before him just like that. Aini had not even answered the question she had asked earlier.
"Here! Honey!" Call Ardi on.
And as Aini was almost at the entrance of the ballroom, Ardi managed to intercept her. Grabbing her hand that was not holding the bouquet of flowers from her earlier.
Aini flinched until she raised her face. "Mass?"
"Why did you just leave?" Ask Ardi confused.
Ardi and Aini are clearly still the center of attention. But Aini did not know that, because she turned her back on Ardi's friends. Maya and Gilang also followed them with Dika.
"I'm sorry if I make a mistake again." Ardi Sesal.
"I'm ashamed, Mom." Honestly Aini shrewdly, while back down.
"What?" Ardi said in disbelief.
Ardi held back his laughter so as not to hurt Aini. He really did not think, Aini was embarrassed because she was treated so romantically. Ardi even had a chance to worry, if Aini was angry because she did not want it.
"Well, he's different and very special." Inner Ardi while holding back his laughter.
Ardi put his index finger on his lips and nose, while looking at his friends who were looking at similar scenes in the film or soap opera. He beckoned his friends to shut up for a moment.
Ardi sighed. He then slowly pulled Aini's chin.
"Gear me in the eye, baby!" Pinta Ardi soft.
Aini also meets Ardi's request. He looked at Ardi's eyes who were looking at him so gently.
"Please answer my question, dear." Pinta Ardi again, while releasing her hand from Aini's chin.
Aini just kept quiet and didn't answer.
"Khadija Isnaini's. Will you marry me?" Ask Ardi again, in such a caring and gentle tone.
Aini nodded slowly while smiling slightly. Ardi smiled happily to get an answer from Aini. Ardi then took back the ring that had been the occupant of his pants pocket.
"This?" Aini said in disbelief, when she saw the ring that Ardi would give her.
"This is your ring of choice, isn't it? Papa gave it to me." Honestly Ardi.
Aini smiled too. Ardi then put the ring on the ring finger of Aini's left hand.
"Thank you, dear." Sincere Ardi.
Ardi's feelings are overflowing. That happy feeling dominated his heart without being able to be dammed. Forcing the owner of the heart, doing something so that the feeling is expressed well.
Until, Ardi immediately pulled Aini's body with his leisure. Hugged her so tightly and attentively.
"Thank you, dear." Said Ardi again, while landing a kiss on the top of Aini's head.
Aini simply nodded, enjoying Ardi's embrace and slowly neutralizing her feelings.
Daanann, plok, plok, plok, plok.
The atmosphere became boisterous again. All of Ardi's friends cheered happily at the incident. They are happy because Ardi managed to propose to his lover.
Aini tiptoed in Ardi's arms so surprised. He turned to the source of the voice behind him. He did not expect, Ardi's friends saw him since.
Aini also returned Ardi's embrace and tightened it. He was still ashamed of what he was facing. Although, he was also happy because Ardi finally proposed to him so romantically.
Ardi felt Aini's embrace hardening at him. Aini even hid her face on Ardi's chest inappropriately. He knew, Aini was uncomfortable with that.
"Hhuuuu,,"
Ardi's friends again cheered loudly. Make Aini more tightened her embrace and more hiding her face.
Ardi then rubbed Aini's back, and tried to calm her down.
"Thank you Lang, May, Brother. And thank you all." Ardi said immediately.
Gilang just smiled while nodding his head. With Maya and Dika. And Ardi's friends finally applauded happily.
Ardi then leads Aini to get out of the event. He still hugged Aini who was not willing to let go of his embrace.
"I love you." Lirih Ardi kept walking.
Instead of answering, Aini pinched Ardi's stomach. Ardi smiled amusedly as his stomach pinched Aini.
"Are you brave enough to be naughty right now, honey?" Goda Ardi's.
"Udah, Mas!" Rajuk Aini's.
"Yes, yes." Reply Ardi slightly giggled.
Ardi stopped his steps right in front of the hotel. Aini finally stopped. He let go of his embrace and slowly looked back, to make sure that Ardi's friends weren't following them.
And it turned out, there was only Dika who walked after the two of them earlier. Ardi's friends resumed the show.
Ardi looked at Aini's face closely. His face was so bright under the bright lights.
"We go for a walk, okay?" Take Ardi.
"Where are you going, Mas? It's malem."
"Well, then."
"Yaudah, it's up to you."
Ardi smiled happily. He then took Aini's hand and took her to the car. They travel around town to spend time together.
There is not much chatter between two lovebirds who have just started a new chapter of their relationship. They just smile happily at each other. Ardi barely even let go of his hand from Aini's.
After a while of driving, Ardi stopped his car in one corner of the city park. He also invited Aini to come down and enjoy the atmosphere of the night before going home.
"Mas," Call Aini softly, after she and Ardi sit on one of the garden chairs.
"Yes, Honey?" Ardi replied, grabbing Aini's body and pulling her into her arms.
"Why are you waiting for me?" Aini asked without hesitation, having secured her position, leaning on Ardi's shoulder.
"Because you're worth the wait, honey."
"What if I'm married again, Mom?"
"I'll take you from him."
"What?" Aini raised her face.
"That's my promise, honey. The promise I made when you asked me to let you go back then."
"I mean, Mas?"
"I promised myself at the time not to see you even if I could. And if God meets us in His way, I will fight for you. Even if it means something, I'll have to take you from your husband."
Aini tried to understand every word Ardi said. Which turns out, Ardi's promise, is the same as the promise he once made.
"I've always taken the time to see you from afar, honey. But I dare not look you in the eye because of that promise. Until yesterday, I met Umar." Imbuh Ardi's.
"How can we make the same promise, Mom?" Aini said as she straightened her body slowly.
"What?" Confused Ardi, while slowly releasing his embrace.
"When I asked you not to see me back then, I made the same promise as you, too."
Ardi and Aini looked at each other. They also smile.
"It's our destiny, honey."
Aini nodded in agreement.
"I will not waste the opportunity God has given me, my dear."
"Thank you, Mum."
"Sure, Honey."
Aini immediately remembered something. "But before that, Mas must get the blessing of Ratna's mother first."
"Mr, Rat, na?" Stuttering Ardi.
"Yes. I need to be able to make her respect our relationship."
Ardi was silent immediately. His memory hovers at the events of one year ago, as he searches for Aini to Semarang. He remembered how Ratna was so angry and upset at him at the time.
".. I regretted following Aini that time. I won't bless your relationship anymore."
The sentence echoed in Ardi's head all of a sudden. So angry and upset Ratna to Ardi who has made Aini disappear without news, to make Ratna say the sentence to Ardi, before Ardi left the house Ratna at that time.
