As Strong as the Mentari, as Soft as the Moon

Episode 26's. Marry Me

Six o'clock past five minutes. Clean skies. Only a thin cloud was blown by the wind. And the sun began to climb its trajectory, leaving a reddish tinge on the horizon. Slowly but surely, the night disappeared, changing the warmth of the sun.

Standing up I looked at the sun as I spread my hands. I set my breath one by one, feeling the fresh morning air. My steps also began to run small down the streets around the house. And my little run sometimes has to stop when my eyes find something so interesting. As of this moment, I was in the middle of a flower garden near a residential complex. Colorful flower bouquets arranged nicely. My eyes were incessantly staring at the flower buds that were beginning to bloom. I was amazed when I saw the flower buds swaying in the wind. His wobble seemed to follow a certain rhythm. It is beautiful and beautiful in the eyes. In addition, a pond was struck in the middle with colorful fish that milling cheerfully.

I sat on a chair in the corner of the park. When a bottle of mineral water was offered, I immediately looked up to see the owner's face. My smile was so bright when I saw the handsome face standing looking at me with a smile. "Sister Mirza." I said. "Yes. Yes, I'm coming...?" he said while sitting next to me. And his eyes looked at the ripples of the pond due to the motion of the fish that were milling pretty. "It's normal." dust me. "O.so it's normal. Yes, I have come home" he said, passing by. "Well, how come." I said as I stared at his back. "Wait, sis.." I said in a spoiled tone. "Ih, haze.." I said as I blocked his steps. "Who told me to have a casual feeling. Fara...Fara, how else do I do?" he said while shifting his eyes. "I'm sorry, Fara was joking." I didn't dare look him in the face. "I'm very worried. Especially after hearing the story of Aunt Vira. I don't know how to keep you safe" he said, grabbing my hand and holding it tight. Then he flanked my arm and asked me to sit on a chair on the other side of the park.

"Hm, marry yuk." she said suddenly without looking at me. "Ih, big brother.did you like to delay" I said as I pinched his arm. Mirza actually laughed showing a row of neat white teeth. "I'm serious, honey. I want to continue the previous conversation. I just want to take care of you and be your only love" he said, now so attached to looking at me. I smiled at Mirza's sister. I could not find the slightest doubt in his eyes. "Why..doubt? Or don't like it...?" said it. "Fara's situation is not the same as it was a year ago. Fara is now tarnished" I said grimly. "I don't care. Once I choose, I will forever be responsible for my choice. Whether it has changed or remained the same" he said, tightening his grip on my finger. "And again, everything you've been through is not your will. It's just because you're in the wrong situation and wrong time. The rest of you keep my Fara. Fara always makes me happy." he said again. I'm speechless. I'm a clear circle that floats and has been ready to slide since.

"Thank you, brother. From the past until now it was my brother who always flattered me and felt protected" I said. Unconsciously I was clinging to his arm. Leaning my head briefly on her shoulder while shedding the unstoppable tears. "Crying, baby. I'll always be your back when you're in trouble" he said with a slow sigh.

"So my marriage is welcome, nieh" said sister Mirza as I cried. "Yes, how else" I said, holding my head up. "Hey.meaning?" said sister Mirza who immediately looked at me fixedly. I smiled broadly at his reaction, raising my eyebrows as if hinting at 'i'm kidding'. "O.. pranking yes. You naughty.." he said while trying to grab my hand. I dodged it and passed quickly. Be us chasing at that time. There was a lot of laughter at the time.

Eight o'clock is twenty minutes. It was still in our brisk steps down the streets under the sun that began to give warmth to the earth. "Yes, finally married too" said sister Mirza sumringah when she managed to line my steps. "Aren't you sure?"I said it back with a smile and another swipe in my head. "That's yuk." he asked while pointing at a chicken porridge shop. "Down two ounces, up about a mile." I said with a laugh and directed a step towards the tavern in question. "Once in a while, dear." said brother Mirza chuckled. "You are yes.. Most can.." he said again while scrambling my head.

We had just chosen a seat, we were surprised by the whereabouts of father and Aunt Vira. "Dad...Aunt Vira...?" my spoken. "Hey. come here, baby" said the father who immediately approached. "What are you and Aunt Vira doing?" I said as I sat down and stuffed crackers in the bowl. "Yes eat it. Time to wash clothes." said the silly father. I also chuckled at hearing it. "How did he run in the morning, what did he produce?" asked the father with a smile glanced at Mirza's sister. Eh, who was glimpsed instead laughed and engrossed with a mouthful of chicken porridge that had just been served. "Ga da is important, yeah" I said casually. "What time does it matter?" said Aunt Vira. "Yes, it's important. Because all the new plans that could only be in the form of wishful thinking" I said.

Brother Mirza put a spoon on the bowl just like that. His eyes are staring at me. "The Fara take it for granted, for she does not. What Fara considers could only be in the form of wishful thinking, for me not. If father and Fara agree, now I am ready to marry Fara" Mirza said without a doubt. His eyes looked at me fixedly while occasionally staring at the father who suddenly also stopped his eating activities. Maybe he was waiting for my father's reaction to his statement. "This is the second time since Fara's return, Mirza expressed a desire to marry Fara. Although Fara agreed but it seems that Fara has not taken it one hundred percent seriously. Fara's still in doubt, yeah. Hm, but it's okay Mirza will be patient until the right time comes" said Mirza with a serious face. Only a slight smile graced the corner of her lips. "Dad.punya desire for this only father's daughter, which is to see her happy born and inner. I also pray that the best intentions will be hastened" said the father who immediately guaranteed Aunt Vira and sister Mirza. And so it is with me. Although in my heart, but actually that is my greatest hope at the moment, happy.

Nine o'clock exactly. We split up for different purposes. Father and Aunt Vira headed for the store, while Mirza and I headed home. Still with a small run, we walked back the streets that were already crowded with traffic vehicles and pedestrians as well as me and sister Mirza. Fifteen minutes we had passed and now we were sitting on a chair on the porch of the house, adjusting the breath one by one. And try to make peace with erratic rhythmic heartbeat. "What should I do, Fara? I'm honestly confused. You accept but you still say so, as if you don't trust me" Mirza said. "Not that I don't believe. I just believe it. But I'm not sure about myself. Would it be my contempt for this to be with Mirza's sister" I said. "I told you already, 'Fara I'm still like before. Nothing has changed. Rest assured.with my proposal" said sister Mirza. "Fara accepted it, sister. But give Fara a chance to convince herself. Fara please. Fara still needs time to recover Fara's confidence after what Fara experienced" I said. "Alright baby, I understand" said Mirza as she rubbed back the tip of my head. But this time it really made my heart pink. His simple treatment of me has been able to flatter me considering my current condition. I don't think I'll ever see another guy like him in his world. Only one in a thousand I think. Even so, again not because I refused or buy time on his proposal but especially on self-prepared. I was trying to build trust and solidify myself for him. Has it....?

I smiled and looked at her handsome face, which was still looking at me. "You're everything to me. Marry me, Fara...Immediately reassure yourself, you are very worthy to accompany my life. Because only you can put a smile on my heart. And only you can give me laughter in my soul. And all your sufferings will be my sufferings. You deserve everything you want, baby. Marry me." he said again shortly before he passed with his silver sports car. I smiled as I waved my hand. Staring at his passing while tucking in the best prayer for him: may you be happy always, sis. Whoever your companion is I wish he could make you happy.

nine o'clock past fifteen minutes. I stood in front of the mirror. Thinly floss my lips. And for a moment I was silent staring at the reflection in the mirror. Back to all the wishes of Mirza. "Marry me." This word is the most fixed in my heart and mind. Yes, Robb...must I be for him? I can't deny I love him, but can I be his life partner as he expects? Being part of such a good family....

Drrt....Drrt...Drrt...

My phone shimmered a few times. "Married me...I'm sure I can make you happy. If I can't, then I'm willing to let you be happy with anyone who can make you happy. But before that be prepared because in a moment my driver will pick you up. I need you right now." The message that made me so angry. "What's up, sister..? Where's...?" my reply. "Don't ask too many questions. Quickly though....! I'm waiting for you" the message again.

"What's wrong with Mr Mirza, Mr Dirman?" I said as I sat in Mirza's car. "Let's young mistress will know." she replied as she drove forward. What the hell is it? "Why is Mirza's sister riddled like this?" gumamku. I was so curious about it...
