Assistant Made

Promises

Hearing it embarrassed me, I blushed at that moment, my heart was uncertain.. My heart beats so fast.

I was waiting for that day.

Still sitting together enjoying the atmosphere of the morning before noon which is increasingly so calm. Maura was right beside Gilang at this moment. Reawakened his head right on Gilang's shoulder.

"So I was worried." Maura.

"What about?"

"Leave you and Rian both."

"Are you afraid we're fighting?"

"Yes, I'm afraid you hit him again."

"R.. I'm your boyfriend, why do you even care about him."

Maura laughed again and this time her face was directed towards Gilang's face which was staring at her.

"You guys are friends, I don't want it to break because I'm Lang."

"Make Rian stop chasing you, then we'll stay friends."

"You take it easy, I'll keep running if he comes after me, and I'll run towards you."

Silence and smile back with a face so close. Gilang touched Maura's face at that moment. Gently rubbing his forehead, cheeks and up to his lips.

"You don't have to run, I promise you'll always be by your side."

Hearing Gilang's words made Maura finally hug Gilang. His two hands seemed to be tied around Gilang's waist so tight, so strong. As if I didn't want to take it off.

Gilang kissed Maura's forehead later, making Maura close her eyes while continuing to hug her. Gilang welcomed Maura's embrace, rubbed Maura's back and kept hugging her.

When the two are together, it may be just for a moment. Another voice called out the name Maura. At first it was not very clear, but the longer it was heard.

Maura's mother called him at this time. Realizing the presence of others in a moment, let go of hugs quickly with each other.

Tidying each other up, even though there is nothing to tidy up. Just a few strands of hair that looked a little untidy. It was also probably due to the gusts of wind present between them.

"Maura, Gilang into ya. We eat together."

"Oh. yes Aunt." Gilang replied quickly and without realizing it Gilang's hand was still holding Maura's hand since then.

Maura's mother left, leaving a smile on them. Stare at each other again and laugh together at last.

There was such great disappointment in Rian at this moment. If time could turn back, if only he could find Maura sooner. Maybe it won't end like this.

Stepping away from Maura with Gilang was so hard for Rian. But he still has to let go.

Rian stared at every corner of the space in his steps. There are many memories he remembers with Maura. But it seems like it was just a waste. There is no lasting impression. Time has changed everything.

It felt disappointed that Rian felt so heavy. A promise is a promise, but Maura forgets it, forgets the promise.

This time Rian stepped towards the exit. Stared around. There is still a lot that has not changed, but Maura has changed.

"Why?" Ask Rian himself.

Rian grabbed his phone later. He opened a photo that he accidentally took while in Maura's apartment. A small photo of Maura is stored in her current gallery of phones.

"Maybe it's time I should let you go." Rian said again.

Decided to stay standing, with both hands going into his pants pocket. Looking straight ahead. Back to remembering and trying to let go.

Time has passed quickly. The sun is not visible in the sky. Dark and soon the moonlight will appear.

Gilang still survives for a long time in Maura's house. While Rian and his mother had long been willing to leave them.

Maura prepared, tidying up some items for her to bring back. Tomorrow is the day Maura runs her usual activities.

Tok..

There was a knock on the door and it sounded slowly. There was a voice that Maura was very familiar with.

"Ra, mom's in." Pinta.

"Yes Mom." Maura replied quickly.

"You're done?" Ask her mother and then come sit on the side of the mattress close to Maura at this time.

"Mom in a moment." Maura replied and smiled looking at her mother's presence.

"Mom is still missing."

"Later Maura try to go home often, Mom."

"Focus on your lecture."

"Yes Mom."

"Say a good man."

"Why are you suddenly talking about Gilang?" Maura asked confusedly.

"Indeed, you can't discuss a mother-in-law's future."

"Huh. mother." Maura said and inexplicably Maura felt embarrassed to hear the current son-in-law's words.

"You're happy with Gilang, Ra..?"

Maura looked at her mother's face. I was confused what to say at the time. Suddenly his mother's hand held Maura's hand and held her. Smiling right on Maura's face.

"I'm happy with Gilang Bu, he's nice to me."

"Originally you're happy, you must be happy."

He looked back at each other, smiled and finally Maura hugged her mother back then.

"Quickly, don't be long. It's waiting downstairs." Pinta his mother while gently stroking Maura's back.

A few minutes later, his mother left him. Maura continued what was unresolved.

After feeling all was neat and making sure no one was left behind, for the last time Maura looked at her face in front of a mirror that was still faithful in her room at this time. Tidying up a little of his appearance. Smile then when he feels he is neat enough and ready to go down. Open the door slowly and go down the stairs quickly.

His steps stopped, not stopped but slower than before when he saw the figure of Gilang who was standing and smiling staring at his presence.

"You be careful." Pinta's mother Maura when Maura was already standing so close to them at this moment.

"I'm saying goodbye, Om.. Auntie.." Pinta Gilang finally.

"I'm waiting for your promise." Said Maura's father and made Maura think to hear it.

"What promise?" Maura asked who was feeling so curious.

"We're home." Said Gilang and did not answer what Maura questioned earlier.

After saying goodbye, Gilang grabbed Maura's hand and grasped it. Invite him to go to the car and ask him to come in later.

"Titip Maura ya Lang, take good care of him." Pinta's mother Maura.

"Good Aunt." Gilang answered and they left his mother and father Maura at that time.

During the journey, Maura continued to stare at Gilang. Hope Gilang explained about the promise he talked about with his father earlier.

"You still don't want to tell a story."

"What about?" Tanya Gilang who looked confused heard it.

"What promise are you and my father talking about?"

Gilang smiled hearing that, and managed to make Maura pout at that moment.

"Why should I say it."

"Lang, come on. I'm your boyfriend, you're playing with secrets now." Maura said and looked annoyed with both hands folded on her chest.

Gilang seemed happy to see Maura at this time, happy to be able to tease Maura.

"You really want to know?"

"Yes.." Maura replied quickly and straightforwardly.

"I don't want to tell."

"Langs.. " Shouted Maura at last.

"Maha.."

"I'm angry, period."

"Related, I'm angry with you."

"Yes, sure." Maura replied and looked very upset.

Red light, Gilang stopped the speed of his car. One of his hands grabbed Maura's still folded hand. Grasping it so soft.

"I promise to marry you Ra." Said Gilang with a face staring at Maura.

Maura's heart skipped so fast hearing him. His face also looked at Gilang who was very close to him at this moment. Smile, calm everything.

It even managed to make Maura blush later.
