After the ring installation event took place, Ayan invited Hani to chat on a bench near the pool. He said to get closer and get to know each other.
Their family is busy welcoming their engagement guests.
Cool night atmosphere plus breeze and very bright moon. Adding to the impression of beauty between two people who are married to each other.
The atmosphere of silence dominated the two, between doubt, nervous, and awkward fused into one.
"Why?" ask Hani suddenly.
Ayan turned to look at Hani and repeated the words of the girl beside her.
"Why?"
Hani let out a breath of air, staring at Ayan with a sharp look, "Why do you want to marry me?"
"When you can get a better woman than me,"
"Beautiful, more mature, sexier even more so than me,"
"But why lo? agree-agree when bokap, nyokap lo, your soul mate is the same me?"
"Gue is still young, the journey of my life is also still long and ....''
Hani stopped her speech, dazed by a strange shadow about Ayan who suddenly wanted to be paired with her.
Pulling her body away, the girl narrowed both her eyes.
"Oh I understand now, lest you be a psychopath ..." Hani stopped his words. Free everything has happened to him and Ayan is already tied.
Hani squeezed his fingers strong, the sense of boredom in him began to make him feel pain that was difficult to interpret.
Slowly the girl looked up at Ayan fixedly. But Ayan seemed to be throwing his face in the other direction. Did Ayan listen to her words?
"Of!" call him.
Hani's call did not make Ayan turn his head, the man kept looking straight ahead.
"Om, I asked ... you answered napa?!"
Slowly but surely Ayan turned her head then looked towards Hani with a flat face. His black-colored net was fixedly staring at the face of the girl beside him. After a few seconds, Ayan looked at each other again staring straight at the scene in front of him.
"I'll talk, but can you listen to it well?" ayan said as she opened her eyes.
Hani nodded slowly, a sign of agreeing with Ayan's words.
"It was my time to sit on the Junior High bench. I met a little girl, she was a girl. Her face was so pretty, maybe she was still around 4 years old?" Ayan started telling stories and Hani listened to them carefully.
"She was playing with her friends,"
Ayan raised his chin, frowning the man trying to remember the events that happened with the little boy, "Maybe playing hide-and-seek?"
"But when he went into hiding I saw that the little boy had fallen, because he had run too fast to find a place to hide ...."
"I approached the little girl and tried to help her."
Ayan tells it while laughing, remembering his meeting with a little boy who is none other than Hani.
"Who would? That little girl refused my help. Even though I insisted on helping her, you know what she said when she refused my help?"
Hani answered with a head.
"He said 'Hani does not want to be helped with brother, because the prospective members of the army must be strong should not cry. Because the task is so heavy! better brother go there!' Then the girl began to stand up and run back, even though her knees were bleeding."
Hani blinked his eyes several times, the story told by Ayan was exactly the same as the one he experienced about 12 years ago. At that time he was 4 years old.
The flash back
The 4-year-old children were playing hide-and-seek in the park.
The hide-and-seek is a very fun game. Where one person must be willing to be a guard means that he must be ready to count from one to twenty-five.
And the others went into hiding, and when the count was done, the guard had to find the one who was hiding.
This time the little girl named Hani was in charge as a player. He ran towards the end of the park to be invisible to the guard.
However, when running his legs tripped until finally the girl fell to the ground. His knees were bleeding and the little girl was complaining of pain.
"Awww..why use bloody si?!" sibir Hani while blowing on his bleeding knee, his eyes began to heat up indicating that there would be rain behind his eyes.
"Nga! Hani can't be whiny,"
He wiped his tears rough.
"Hani must be strong. Hani is a soldier! The army is strong because its task will be heavier. Hani must be strong!" He tried to stand up. But her tiny body staggered back down the pain in her right knee prevented her from walking fast.
Suddenly, there was a big hand outstretched in front of the little girl. "Aren't you papa, deck? Let me help," said the young man gently.
But the girl brushed her hand away."Ngga! Hani can be alone!"
"But your knee is bleeding, if not in the medicine later infection. Do you want your feet to be infected?"
The young man squatted to align his body with Hani."Are you afraid of your brother?"
"Hani's not afraid!"
"Keep Why don't you want to be like brother?"
The young man again stretched out his hand, "Sister is not a kidnapper" he said softly.
Hani rudely pushed him. "Will not! Hani is a soldier. Must be strong!" he said he forced to stand up.
"But it-"
The young man was about to speak but was cut back by the little girl.
"Hani does not want to be helped by brother, because the prospective members of the army must be strong should not cry. Since the task is so heavy, it is better that big brother go there!'' throw Hani away while pointing in the other direction.
The young man gawked, then behind it was a smiley arch from his lip line. And the girl left him with a dragged leg.
The flash back of.
"Remember?"
Ayan's words disperse all Hani's daydreams.
The girl felt her cheeks heat up and saw a faint smile from her lips.
"So ..." Hani paused her speech, holding her head so as not to glance at Ayan.
"Yes," Ayan answered briefly.
Hani frowned, "Well what?"
"What try?" ask Ayan back.
Hearing that Hani immediately rolled his eyes lazy. The girl looked back at Ayan.
Why try Ayan to be such a bitch. Hani cupped his cheeks in embarrassment.
"You know that, don't you?"
Silent. Hani can't reveal anything anymore.
So it turns out Ayan is a man who used to be able to help himself. But he refused hard on the grounds of wanting to become a soldier.
How unique is this destiny? even everything was neatly arranged by him. Should Hani be happy now? Or reject it again? And again? Although it is impossible.
"Falia?" ayan's great-grandson is back.
"Dani!" ketus Hani is upset.
"You know why I became a soldier?"
In her heart Hani cursed to herself, she was caught in a very difficult situation. It's hard to say that he's really happy.
"Are you a budeg what's pretending to be a budeg?" sela Ayan's.
"Huh?"
Ayan chuckles. Seeing Hani's shocked expression. Funny and adorable.
"Falia, man,"
"Yes?"
"Do you know why?"
"Yes. I know but honestly it was just my ideals as a kid, now it's changed!"
"I don't care, but your reasons aren't right,"
Hani's forehead forms a layer.
"meaning?"
"The reason I accept this matchmaking is because ..."
Ayan paused her words, faced Hani then ventured to stare at her neutrality. It seems that the man was nervous. Hani is also so actually nervous and probably very happy.
For a few minutes they talk through eye contact. Until Ayan continues his words that make the heart of Hani race quickly, like a horse race that is ready to fly.
His blood murmur felt so smooth. Hani held her breath as well as Ayan. Until Ayan continues his words that make Hani's world really stop for a moment.
"Because of my real reason, why I accept you to be my soulmate is because I love you from the first time I met."
Bam!
Like being hit by a hard thing. Hani doesn't believe this.
