CONFINEMENT

CH 37 - ROMANCE SEEDS

The girl was seen sitting on a rock not far from her parked train. His red face still visible on his father's face, he did not expect the incident to occur so that made himself wrong in front of Muhibbin.

In the grass of gravel that is nearby and thrown in the direction of the pounding waves of Purnama beach.

"Dear, forgive what happened. I was unintentional and I had no intention of being rude to you!" suddenly Muhibbin was nearby.

"Ah, don't think about it Bin," Sariwati bowed in shame.

"I know it was unintentional."

There was distance and stiffness of both after the incident. But suddenly Sariwati broke the silence.

"Bin, can I ask you something?" now Sariwati looked at the young man beside her, her hands occasionally tidying up her veil blown by the beach breeze.

"Ask what?" muhibbin's eyes were still fixed on the waves that were chasing. His hand was busy playing the clam that had been on his back with Sariwati.

"But you're not offended, yes!" sariwati.

"Do you have a lover?" now Sariwati's voice sounded soft.

"You don't have to answer, if you don't like it!" coined. The girl looked increasingly lowered her face full of shame.

Muhibbin seemed to be breathing. In the face of dara ayu who is next to him.

"I still haven't thought that way, Wati. There's still a lot to do other than feel or a relationship."

"My responsibility to my family made me take my heart off. My mother, my brother and my nephew still need my attention" Muhibbin replied.

"Oh, is that it?" sariwati.

"Iya Wati, I want to fulfill my responsibility to my family first. It may sound naive but I am afraid that if I am in a relationship or family, will my partner accept my situation and family? However I am the last boy in my family and the responsibility as the backbone I have to live with." said Muhibbin.

It was seen that the young man got up and a pushy look was embedded in his eyes.

"I'm a son nobody has, Wati! and I'm my only hope, my family. Even if I sacrifice my feelings in the meantime, it's okay. What I want to achieve is a decent life for them." Muhibbin concluded.

Sariwati also began to rise and approach the man in front of him. both his clasped hands clasped Muhibbin's hands.

"Bin, I promise I will always help you and will always be there when you need me." his gaze was fixed on the young man's face.

"I have no one in this land either, Bin. You're the only one who's been sincerely helping me all this time. My debt of gratitude to you is great." now Sariwati is starting to sob.

"Hi, why are you so sad gini." said muhibbin clutching his best friend's shoulder.

"I know and I believe in you,"

"We are both nomads and you are already considered part of my family, we both take care of each other." concluded the man to his best friend, Muhibbin released his grip on Sariwati's shoulders.

"Yes, Disya and her family have been very good since long time ago, We were both raised on the slopes of Ijen and Divine destiny brought us back together in this land."

"But to be honest, I used to have feelings for him but I didn't dare. I still know my limits, Wati."

"Love and feeling know no caste, Bin!"

"I noticed that Disya also likes you, I saw how worried she was during the riots last year here and during your treatment. Didn't you notice?" sariwati.

"But I don't dare, Wati! I still know who I am and from which strata my family is." replied Muhibbin.

"You look too much at social class, Bin!"

"Now age, it is no longer a benchmark. As long as the two like each other, anything you can do." concluded the girl.

"Yes that's your view, but our society's view is still influenced and assess the seeds, bebet and weight in establishing a family relationship."

"And is it possible that a man like myself, who is only the son of an old widow, without abundant possessions, could easily enter the family environment?" Muhibbin.

"You must not be discouraged, Bin. I'm sure one day someone will accept you for who you are." the girl looked at Muhibbin meaningfully.

"So how do you feel about me, Bin?" sariwati said back. Now the virgin's eyes are fixed looking at him.

Hearing Sariwati's question, Muhibbin was stunned for a moment. His smile was also stinging.

"You're good, Wati! although I don't know your background yet but I believe you're sincere with me."

"Is that all?" sariwati smiled.

"Yes, what do you want you to be like? muhibbin began to laugh.

" Is there not the slightest feeling in your heart towards me, Bin?" sariwati asked laughing.

"Ah this you, it could be." looks Muhibbin wrong behavior.

His mind was turbulent considering the incident earlier, there was a strange sense radiating in the grating of his heart. Especially now that Sariwati's appearance is much different from what she has known so far. The girl looks ayu, her beauty is not inferior to the face of Disya. In addition to physical changes, the attitude of Sariwati who was once closed and quiet is now more courageous and open.

Muhibbin did not know that most and the habits of the neighborhood of young big cities such as the Flood Country more open in associating and expressing their feelings or desires, or desires, in contrast to young people in other countries who are more shy and closed in terms of association let alone feeling.

"I like you, Bin!"

Muhibbin was stunned to hear the words of Sariwati.
