Between Love and Taste

Chapter 23 The Application

This afternoon Alvin and his papah were at Kayla's house. Inevitably Alvin followed the wishes of his papah he was very hopeful that Kayla would reject his proposal because of how there is a heart that Alvin is struggling.

...

At one restaurant, the two couples were pouring out their feelings. Rayhan himself he was very sad when he heard the narration from Kayla how not the woman he had applied for in front of his parents would now be proposed by another man who was none other than his coworker.

''Brother Ray, I beg you to say the same to me again. I don't want this matchmaking to happen.'' Kayla cries in front of Rayhan she is so powerless to see the woman she loves so much begging him.

Rayhan could only take a long breath. Rayhan has not even had a relationship with Kayla since her proposal was rejected by Kayla's parents for the same reason. I don't know Rayhan as if his love for Kayla would never be able to walk how it should be.

''Please don't be like this. I'm sure that Alvin is the best for you.'' Rayhan wiped away the tears that he had not realized had fallen from his eyes.

Indeed his heart was very sore chest as if he was claustrophobic hearing the bitter reality that he had to experience.

Rayhan consciously loves not have to have he even learned to love Kayla since he found out if Kayla had been betrothed by her father. Rayhan loves Kayla very much but not in this way Rayhan wants if the blessings of both of Kayla's parents are sincere to her.

''Not like me, he said brother Ray would try to make me but why now changed. We even tried once, brother.'' Kayla was a little emotional she did not expect that Rayhan would say such a thing.

''Kay needs you to know. I love you so much, but it's not this kind of love that I made you with your dad quarrel it's not the right way. If you were my soul mate whom God has ordained no matter how your parents separate us we would have to hang out with Kay.'' Rayhan looked at Kayla's face that looked more and more moist to make herself feel more and more wrong.

''I beg you, I'm sorry.'' Lirih Rayhan said.

Rayhan's heart is so fragile he loves a woman he can't have loved a woman in silence for years by always begging the Creator for her in one way. But again and again he must be ready to prepare a more patient self with a bitter reality.

Kayla wiped away the trace of her tears she immediately stood up and left Rayhan who was silent alone there.

Kayla no longer cared about herself. His heart was as sick as it was pierced with a bitter reality. How can a father manage his life so far he never even imagined if his marriage alone to have to follow his wishes.

''Ah it's kay you are indeed just a puppet.'' Kayla muttered that back wiped away her tears.

Kayla immediately left the place that was so smothering her chest. The man he always hoped would be able to change himself now he has given up on what circumstances is the power Kayla is just a doll of his father who always had to obey all his wishes.

Twenty minutes had passed by and Kayla was back at her house. It looks like a sports car parked neatly in front of his house.

Kayla already knew who the owner of the car was and sure what her father said was not kidding.

''Assalamu'alaikum.'' Greetings Kayla behind the door and enter immediately.

Everyone was now staring at Kayla including the man who four months ago had once expressed his love for her.

''Salam waalaikum. Kay you just came home here sitting.'' Pinta father with his warm welcome.

''You already know about the arrival of Alvin, I told you that time and maybe Alvin himself will say that.'' Reza said with her smile as she was delighted when Kayla accepted sitting for no reason whatsoever she was following her father's wishes.

Kayla Tidan replied that she was silent without waiting for Dimas to pat her thigh to immediately express the intention of his arrival to Kayla.

Alvin is now staring at the faces of his father and mother he returns not dwelling on his wishes just the one he so desperately hopes Kayla will reject his proposal.

Alvin took a deep breath and tried to tell Kayla his point.

''May are you willing to be my wife and marry me?'' alvin asked with a hopeful gaze if Kayla would reject him.

When Kayla looked up she saw Alvin's face, which now looked smiling at her. I don't know Kayla has no reason to refuse a proposal from the man who is now in front of her because the man she loves is now back off even she has said that Kayla must accept Alvin in life.

The instant that all Rayhan's words entered back into Kayla's memory made the woman seem to die with her feelings.

''I'm willing.'' Say Kayla with eyes that start to water.

Per few seconds everyone who was there immediately said Thankful because their hope had now been granted.

''Please dear.'' The image of his mother Alvin said very happily.

While Alvin he was a little upset how could Kayla accept him after he told her if he rejected her that time.

''If only you accepted me back then I would be very happy but sorry for now I cannot accept you.'' Inner Alvin says.

Now everyone is enjoying a meal while Alvin and Kayla are in Kayla's courtyard and sitting in a small building there.

''Kay.'' Alvin said because since they had just been silent to make Alvin a little furious he thought that when they both Kayla would scold him for daring to propose to him but in fact the woman seemed to be silent even his look looks empty.

''You do you have no sane acceptance of me?'' alvin asked who wanted to explode.

''You mean?'' Kayla turned to look at Alvin's face even though she didn't know what he was looking at.

''I didn't expect that if you would accept me didn't you already have Rayhan and intend to marry him then why are you willing to accept my proposal?'' Alvin asked at a slight length.

''Isn't that what you've been hoping for?'' Kayla chuckles as she laments her very unfair life.

''It was then, but now it is not.'' Alvin said coldly, Kayla turned her eyes away at once because of the words from Alvin.
