" Novi, wake up Nov." Wira tries to wake up Novi who is still asleep in his arms.
" Hemh, oh Mr. Wira.." Novi woke up but his head felt pain.
" Why Nov?" Ask the confused.
" My head is so dizzy, sir, my vision is swirling." Answer Novi lirih, for drowning.
" Do we need to call a doctor? But, where is the doctor still open at this hour."
" No need sir, I can treat my own pain."
" All right, then let's go home. I'll take you."
" No need sir, I can go home alone." Novi rejected the offer of Wira.
" It's late Nov, it's not good for a woman to come home in the middle of the night alone." Speech forcefully.
" Mister Wira need not worry. I can take care of myself."
" Novi, I can't let you go home alone. I'll take you." Wira continues to force Novi to accept his offer.
" Mister Wira, I'm not a child anymore. I can defend myself. Anyone who dares to fight me, will never be able to escape."
" You don't get cocky Nov. There are still many bad people out there who have very high knowledge. Maybe you won't be able to face it alone."
" Mister Wira doubts my abilities?"
" I don't doubt you, but your arrogance will endanger you." Said Wira trying to warn Novi.
" Mister Wira, in this city there are how many great people besides you?" Ask Novi suddenly.
" I know I'm the only one who's mastered high-level martial arts. However, Vijaya who came from outside the city, I think he is much stronger than me." Said the restless Hero.
" But he's a good man sir, I don't think he's a hindrance. So you don't have to worry about me coming home alone." Novi tried to find a reason so that Wira did not deliver it.
Confused people have to say more. Novi is good at talking. Not a single word could make Novi want to accept his offer. Eventually, he ran out of words. Suddenly his left hand grabbed Novi's shoulder and his hand held Novi's lower thigh. Then he took her and took her in the car.
" Eh, Mr. Hero let me go. I don't want to be delivered. Let me go home by myself." Novi tried to rebel.
" Don't move, you're heavy when you move. You may fall later." Canda Wira but still carrying Novi.
Novi also resigned Wira told him to be quiet. He began to feel a warmth again.
" Nah, already. Sit down quietly. I'll take you home right now."
" Mister Wira, forgive me, for bothering you so much."
" It doesn't need to be thought of. Let's just say this is a gift to you."
Novi smiled at the words of Wira. As if Wira was his lover. So many sweet memories with him.
Meanwhile, Wira continues to focus on driving her car fast. With his black sedan car, he continues down a deserted road to Novi's house.
Finally, after a half-hour drive, they reached Novi's house.
" It's up to your house Nov, let's get up." The hero tries to wake Novi.
" Oh, sorry sir I overslept. I'll be right down." Novi said then immediately opened the car door and rushed out.
But before Novi could step out, Wira held Novi's hand.
Novi was nervous. He doesn't know what the hero means.
" Eh, what's wrong, sir?" Novi asked while tidying up her messy hair.
" I'm not forcing you to answer now. And I'm not forcing you to answer yes. I have something to ask you."
" Just ask what Mr. Wira wants to ask. I'm ready to answer sir."
" You know, I've been a long time widower. My wife died in an accident, which until now I and the police did not know who harmed her.
My son both died because of my faults and my inability to care for them.
Now I live alone. My heart is empty, nobody fills it.
Novi, do you want to be my wife?" Suddenly Wira expresses her desire to marry Novi.
Then with a hard struggle, he tried to answer the question of the Hero.
" Are you serious?" Tanya Novi asked for the seriousness of Wira.
" I'm serious Nov, I love you. I want to live with you until death to pick me up." Told Wira to convince Novi.
" Are you sure you chose me? There are probably more beautiful and wonderful women out there than me." Novi humbled himself.
" I'm very sure Nov. Did you accept me?"
" I'm sorry, sir, I'm actually not happy if I refuse it. But I can't say yes yet. Give me time to think first, sir."
Hearing Novi's words, Wira immediately fell silent. He thought that Novi would immediately accept his love.
But what was on his mind, was the opposite. It turns out it's not that easy getting a place in Novi's heart.
" Mister Hero, Mr. Wira. Are we done talking? I want to get down sir.
Wira awakens from her daydream, unaware she is still holding Novi's hand.
" Eh, sorry Nov. I'm not focused." Said the Hero and let go of Novi's hand.
" Mister Wira don't worry, I won't hang you for long. Tomorrow morning when we meet, I'll give you the answer soon." Seeing the disappointment of Wira, Novi tried to give him hope.
" I'll wait for your answer Nov. I don't want to force you to accept me. Don't hesitate to say no, if you don't want to be my life partner." Said the Hero, who was actually in the heart, wanted Novi to have to accept his love.
" It's Sir. You better get home soon. It's almost one o'clock in the evening. I also want to rest soon. I'm afraid I can't get to work on time."
" Okay Novi, I'll go first. Take care of your health. Don't forget, lock the door tight when you enter the house." Wira told Novi then went to drive his car fast.
Novi just smiled hearing the words of Wira. Until he daydreamed, and unconscious the car that Wira was driving away, twenty meters away from him.
" Be careful, sir, drive the car." Novi also told Wira.
Hearing Novi's cry, Wira slowed down her car, then honked her horn as a sign of accepting and approving her message.
After the Hero Car disappears in the darkness of the night, Novi staggers into his house.
He went to the bathroom to clean his body. All day wearing the same clothes makes her body itchy. He immediately took off his clothes and doused his body with warm water.
After taking a shower, Novi went into his room and changed clothes. While looking in the mirror, Novi thought about what was the right answer for Wira.
Of course he could not afford to refuse, but he had to think of the reason why he accepted the proposal of the Hero.
After a few minutes passed, Novi found the answer and the reason why he wanted to accept the proposal. Finally after thinking hard, Novi's eyes were tired. Until he was unconscious, then fell asleep at the bottom of the bed.
Meanwhile, Wira did not return home, but returned to the restaurant. At night he bought cement and bricks at his friend's shop, which was not far from his restaurant. Although it was closed, Wira tried to contact the owner.
" Hey, who is this? What's the call at this hour?" Gerutu Handono the owner of the building shop.
" Hello too." Gently greet the Hero.
" Yes, who are you, and what do you want!" Handono shouted loudly.
" I'm Wira, the owner of a lakefront restaurant. Han, I want to buy cement and bricks at your place.
I'm going to your shop too.
" Oh, Hero. I'm sorry Wir, I just might not recognize your voice."
" It's okay Han, knowing that my voice night is like this."
" Yes Wir, come quickly before I fall asleep again. I'll bring you the store keys and put them on top of the electric meter box next to the store.
Just take how much you need. When you're done, put the key back in place, and don't forget to carefully lock the door before you leave the store."
" Beres Han, just calm down. I'm not a careless man."
" Okay Wir, I've put the key on the power meter box. I'm going to go to bed again." Handoyo hung up the phone and fell asleep on his soft bed.
" Hemh, both Han." said Wira then rushed forward his car to Han's building shop.
Upon arrival at the store, Wira took two bags of cement, and two bags of sand, then red bricks to repair the fence of the front wall of his restaurant which was destroyed by the power in Novi.
