I know who did it...Khaffa's thoughts guessed the man who had dared to send Anayra flowers.
Khaffa pondered at the thought of one person while focusing on the streets of the capital in the afternoon while his hands were busy driving.
Anayra POVs.
On the way to his family's residence, we talked lightly about the flowers sent to the boutique.
I jumped in surprise and it wasn't her who sent me the flowers.When my heart wondered 'then who sent me flowers if not her?'.
I saw that his facial expression was very serious about thinking about something during the trip.
Dag,dig,dug.
Upon arrival at the destination my heart pounded uncharacteristically as it passed through the gate fenced wide and high.Sang officers swiftly opened the gate after knowing the arrival of the black sports car of his employer.
Khaffa put his car into the yard in the elite area.The page is wide and beautiful although the lighting is not as clear during the day but presents a beautiful view.
After the car stopped in front of the garage, I and he opened their seat belts.
"Honey let's get out!.".Her request when she looked at me smilingly led me out of the car.
And I just kept quiet while adjusting my breath to stabilize my heart rate.
And he got out of the car when he saw me still flinching.
"Are you nervous hon'?.".He asked when he opened the door for me and then grabbed my hand while looking at me lovingly.
"Yes!, I think it's more stressful than a roller coaster ride!.".While looking at him I answered his question silly to the point of making him laugh.
"Haha...Relax, don't be nervous!.I'm sure they'll welcome you well and welcome you with pleasure.Let's get out!.".While holding my hand he led me out.
After closing the car door we walked down the porch of the house while holding hands.With trembling legs I walked to the rhythm of his steps into the house that had opened the door.
Arriving in my eyes did not stop staring at the amazement of the entire room.When I realized our differences were very noticeable.He was far above me like heaven and earth.
I heard the voices of some people chatting as we were about to step into the living room until our steps suddenly came to a halt and stood behind the wall of the living room.
"Thank you Auntie!.My beauty is a gift passed down from Mama, isn't it Pa?.".Said a girl whose voice was as familiar as I've ever heard.
"Yes right!, your mother is indeed beautiful and she looks a lot like you when her girl Papa chases after her until she says 'yes' after rejecting Papa 7 times, hahaha...".Replied a middle-aged man because from his voice it sounded clearly not young.
"Hahaha, really Pa?.".Answer the girl again.
"real Na!.Your mother was one of the flowers on our campus but your father was very lucky to get it!.Om think your mama's eyes were myopic at that time because she couldn't tell which guy was handsome and which water flea, hahahaha...".The voice of the other middle-aged man.
"Haha...".I heard laughter from the others.
Khaffa grabbed my hand channeling his strength while looking at me with sparkling eyes.
"Are you ready for honey?.".Ask while smiling.
And I just nodded.
"Mmm, but it looks like there's a guest.".I said interrupt.
"That might be Papi's and Mami's friend!.Ga pa-pa let's get to them!.".Take it while holding my hand.
I took a deep breath to gather my confidence as I stepped in with her.
Deg.
I could not escape my surprise until my steps stopped when I saw the face of someone I knew.He was sitting next to Khaffa's mother.
I knit my eyebrows together because I was astonished by his presence here.
"Assalamu aleikum?.".Sapa Khaffa represents saying greetings when my tongue is confused.
"Greetings waalaikum!.".They said in unison while looking and then stood together.
And he was shocked to not be able to hide his surprise when he saw me.When we looked at each other while astonished.
After a long time we finally met again in a difficult situation.'Why should I see her again when I want to step into my happiness'...Heart wonders.
"Abang, are you coming, boy?.Why didn't you tell me you wanted to come here?.".His mother smiled and walked over to us.
Khaffa kissed his mother's cheek and I immediately kissed the back of his hand.The mother frowned in amazement at me standing in front of him.
My existence here must have raised a lot of questions in his heart.
"Why are you here?, why did you come together?.Brother why did you come with him?.".Asked her mother while pointing at my face and looking at me coldly then asked her son.
I was getting nervous and tense.While the girl was still astonished to see me here.And the two middle-aged men seemed confused to see our interaction.
"mmm...No one wants to say to Mami and Papi!.".Khaffa said, holding his mother's hands.
"Abang, come!.".The middle-aged man I can guess is his father.
Because it looks similar on their faces with different versions, young and old but equally handsome.
Khaffa came to the sofa where his father was and I stood glued to my place while his mother followed him without caring for me who was fixated alone.
I threw my breath away violently while closing my eyes.'Is this what it feels like to be someone who is not considered?...My mind was crying bitterly and my eyes began to tear as I held the turmoil in my heart.By immediately I took a deep breath and then threw it out to throw a sense of unease in my heart and so that my tears would not drip out.
"Abang, meet this Om Dani and this is Sabrina's daughter!.".His father introduced them.
"How are you, son?.".Said the girl's father while extending his hand.
"Om okay!.".Khaffa replied while regretting it.
"Bang, this is Sabrina, she's beautiful, isn't she?.".Said his mother while standing next to the girl while embracing her.
His mother then turned to me and looked at me sharply with a slanted smile.As if to show me the position of the girl in this house and in his heart.
And Khaffa just nodded without saying a word.
"Honey come here!.".He said as he stretched out his hand as he saw me standing far behind him.
With slow steps I approached those who were looking at me.
"Honey, what do you mean?.".Ask her mother curiously while gasping.
And Khaffa seemed indifferent not to answer his mother's question, but pulled my hand.
''Pi, this is Anayra!.Honey, here's my Papa,om Dani and Sabrina!.".Khaffa introduced them one by one as I stood beside him.
While bending over I kissed the back of his father's hand then the girl's father then shook hands with the girl while looking coldly.Our attitude looked stiff and indifferent without any intention of greeting each other or making small talk.
"Abang, quickly say!.Why did you bring her here and call her honey?.".Asked his mother looking impatient and curious while pulling his arm.
"Because brother-...".
"Mi don't do that!, let them sit down first!.Come on, sit down!.".His father interrupted him and asked us to sit down.
Me and Khaffa then sat together in a pouch in front of them bounded by a table.While they sat in a sofa in the form of the letter L.
The atmosphere seemed tense as they watched the two of us then I saw Khaffa sigh before speaking.
"To the point only Papi, Mammy brother wants to marry Anayra!.".Aloud and confident Khaffa said it to make everyone sitting in front of us flinch and wide-eyed.
I was shaking and Khaffa looked anxiously waiting for a response from his parents.But suddenly his mother laughed out loud.
"Haha...Brother, don't be kidding anymore!, end your charade!.".His mother seemed to not believe his words and only considered his statement a joke.
"What does Mommy mean?.".Khaffa asked because he did not understand his mother's words.
"Ckkk, you don't have to pretend anymore!, your relationship is just a setting!.He's just your pretended lover, isn't he!?.".His mother crossed both hands.
Suddenly I bowed lethargic while clutching my bag tightly because of shame and inferiority.While Khaffa looked wrong.
"Abang, you must have known the arrival of om Dani and Sabrina here, right?.Do you remember what Mami said the other day?.".While looking at Khaffa intensely her mother asked.
Khaffa was stunned to digest his mother's words.
"Sabrina is the girl we're going to match up with you bang!.".Obviously mother.
Glekk.
With great difficulty I swallowed my salivary and gasped in shock then my reflexes and Khaffa looked at each other.
"But Mi, Babang wants to marry Anayra!.".Khaffa tried to convince his mother when she turned to him.
"Have Mami said end your skit!, you did this so you could be free from this matchmaking right?.".His mother then turned to look at me.
"Hey boutique girl!, how dare you pretend to be my son's lover and now pretend to be his future wife then want to marry him!?.You're a really brash girl and you don't know yourself!.".His mother's touch with a furious face.
Khaffa gasped in shock and I reflexively lowered my head while the others only listened to the interaction of the two.
"Mi, it's not his fault but the wrong brother for involving him!.Anayra's a nice girl like Mami said!.".Refusal to defend myself.
And his mother grinned while muttering.
"Hmhhh, if she's a good girl where maybe she dares stay at the house of a man who is not her muhrim!.".
Deg.
As I looked up I held my chest because my heart felt pierced by the slash and my heart was like sliced.And Khaffa turned to me and grabbed my hand.
"That's all unintentional because there's a reason!.Mami misunderstood so don't corner her!.".Khaffa.
And his mother rolled her eyeballs.
"See!, you defended him because he wanted to help you foil our plan, right?.".His mother assumed.
"Enough, that's enough!.Aren't you ashamed to argue in front of our guests?.I'm sorry my wife and son!.".Strictly speaking, his father broke up the dispute between his wife and son and apologized to the girl's father.
"It's okay!.We were wrong because it seemed like we had come at an inopportune time so maybe we should just go home!.Come on Na let's go home!.".Said the girl's father then got up to stand with the girl.
"Wait!.".His mother stuck the girl's arm while standing up.
"Sabrina, Auntie would like to ask if you want and are willing to be betrothed to Khaffa?.".Asked his mother curiously while holding his hand.
"I-i...".The girl glanced at me and then turned her face away as I stared at her sharply.
While shaking her shoulder the girl said."Auntie eentahlah!.If viewed from the current situation there is no way I can answer it!, and it's true Papa said we should just go home!.".The girl argued while looking at her mother Khaffa.
And Khaffa's mother nodded.
"Alright, maybe it should be so!.I'll tell you again and once again forgive me!.''.Khaffa's father agreed to their opinion as the current situation was not conducive.
While nodding and smiling the girl's father said."Take it easy!, I understand him because our position is the same as that of a family head.Finish your family business first!.All right, we'll go first!.".The girl's father then shook the hands of her father and mother Khaffa.
Followed by the girl and her mother, she kissed each other and greeted her father Khaffa then gave me a glimpse when he stepped away with his father.
After the death of his parents sat back in front of us who remained unmoved sitting on the sofa.
"Ekhm...Brother now explain the truth!, what's the reason you brought him and brought him here?.".His father opened the subject.
"Papi, Mami,abang wants to introduce Anayra as a future wife brother who is actually not what Mami alleged!.".Take it seriously.
"Halahh, how could Mami believe that after what you did yesterday!.".His mother's head was talking.
"But this is true Mi, and she spoke to her parents last night!.".He continued to convince his mother.
Waving his hand his mother said."Nonsense!, why didn't you tell us anything about it before?.".Then fold both hands.
"Sorry if you don't discuss this first with Papi and Mami because everything happened so suddenly and quickly!.Brother please understand Pi, Mi'!.".Clenching his hands Khaffa turned.
"Ughhh, Mami's head got dizzy!.Better get some sleep!.".While massaging his temple his mother complained and then stood up and rushed away from the middle room.
