The Chiara Arrayan Danadyaksa. A 24-year-old young doctor, beautiful and well-behaved.
Inside the spacious shabby-blue room, the girl looked at a picture of herself with her extended family.
There's Ray and Sania-papi and her mom. There are Rion and Bintang - her brother and sister-in-law as well as Queen and Prince, two cute nieces who are already 8 and 4 years old.
He smiled looking at the photo. In her hand was an engagement invitation. In a week, he'll be engaged to a man named Daffin.
"Sister Bi, I'll be engaged soon."
He spoke by looking at the picture of the star who was smiling sweetly. He was used to asking his sister-in-law for advice.
"Daffin, I know he's a good guy. Papi and Mami and bang Rion also knew him."
"Geez!" Chiara breathed out through her mouth.
"i like it. I love the way he tells me how he feels."
A few weeks ago, Daffin expressed his feelings for Chiara while they were having lunch together at a restaurant.
The Flashback
"Mara..." The man in neat clothes in front of Chiara looked at her so deeply.
"Yes..."
"I want to tell you something." Outside of work hours they do not use formal language.
Chiara nodded. "Tell me! I'll listen to you" Chiara replied to the 3-year-old older man.
"I. I like you. I love you, Chi!"
To the point, Daffin expresses his feelings making Chiara look seriously at the man in front of her.
Daffin slowly grabbed his hand and smiled slightly. "I fell in love with you a long time ago."
"I tried to reassure my feelings and the answer remained the same. I really love you!"
"I didn't reveal it all this time because I waited for you until you were done with the internship program and all the processes for you to become a doctor."
"I'm really waiting for you to be done with your education."
"I would like, when I express my feelings, I can directly propose to you and get engaged to you."
Chiara felt her heart pounding violently. He was being proposed by a man he had known for several years.
"Chiara, be my lover. And one day, marry me. I promise to make you happy and not limit your career."
Off Flashback.
"I also like him who gantle directly ask me from papi," continued Chiara still monologue with the photo of the Star.
"But the H-7 on the eve of our engagement, I became a little doubtful of her." Chiara bowed lethargic. He flipped through the fancy invitations in his hands.
"I was suddenly worried about a lot of things. What is this like persuading the devil as man steps closer to marriage?"
"Is this what I'm calling a hunch that what I chose was wrong?"
"But, papi and mami couldn't possibly decide on the wrong person to be my side. All this time they always do their best and thank God the results are good."
"Then why am I afraid of not being happy living with him?"
"Sister, you know yourself, right?" Chiara looked back and spoke with a photo of the Star.
"My favorite pair of roles, you two. Brother and Bang Rion." Chiara laughed softly. He was like a madman talking to himself.
"Sir doesn't look special in his eyes. And I want a man like that who will be my future husband, brother!"
"Am I just backing down?" Chiara suddenly became pessimistic about her choice.
"Sometimes I think, what else am I looking for in my life?" He looked back at the invitation paper.
"I've become a doctor, I have a job even a hospital too."
"Daffin didn't forbid me if I wanted to continue with the specialist."
"My life will not lack material. Everything is guaranteed and I'm sure Papi and Bang Rion won't let my life be hard."
Chiara looked at the photo of the Star. "Son't tell me love is a sense of unwillingness when we see our partner close to another girl."
"So, love makes us cry when we are happy and sad."
"The person we love is actually the person who has the most potential to hurt us. Even just one sentence snaps from our partner can hurt feelings so much."
"And all that I can't find in Daffin, brother." Chiara was upset.
Chiara sighed. He laid his body on the bed.
A lot of men are trying to get close to me, but why would Daffin be my fiance. Why do I seem to regret all my decisions to be with him?
"Bang Caraka, he once asked me to marry him. But I ignored it."
He remembered a man named Caraka who had also expressed feelings for him. Even the man had asked her to marry, and said he would faithfully wait for her until she was ready to accept the man.
Caraka is not someone else, he still has a relative relationship with the Bintang.
"Huh! Who told her to always stick with that sexy model" Chiara said.
"Who would want the same guy to fail to move on like him. Either failed nove on or indeed he who likes php the same all girls." Complain Chiara again.
Since he was in college, Caraka began to intensely show his attention and feelings.
The man repeatedly said that he was serious with her. But, Chiara repeatedly found that the man was still so close to his ex.
Who is not inferior when compared to the model body like a Spanish guitar.
According to Chiara, most men judge a girl by putting "physical values" at number one. And Chiara was sure, the man named Caraka was doing the same.
Repeatedly, Chiara asks Caraka to settle the man's affairs with the sexy model who was once Caraka's lover.
Caraka always said their business was done. How could their affair be finished while the two were still often seen walking together.
"Oh!" Chiara breathed a heavy breath.
"May the choice to be with Daffin be the right decision."
"Sir Bi often said, love can not grow because we are used to being together."
"And may my admiration and high judgment of Daffin one day turn into a deep love that we may live together to complement each other."
Chiara rarely tells others about her problems. But he's a good listener. All the advice of his sister-in-law he always heard and he remembered.
Chiara searched for Daffin Alexander Abraham's name in a search engine on her mobile phone. And came a series of achievements of young men graduated from universities in America.
Now, Daffin helps his parents take care of a lot of the business they are in. One of them is a distributor of medical devices and drugs. And it was Daffin's company that supplied medical equipment and medicine at Danadyaksa's hospital until Ray and Rion knew the man well.
