Dear, Soul!!

Proposal..

My mood was bad all day and two nights I kept crying.

Cellphone's ringing..

"Hello..." I answered half-consciously and my eyes were still closed.

"You still sleeping??"

My eyes opened wide, hearing his voice.

"I'm downstairs.."

"A what??"

"I'm downstairs, wait for you here..."

I quickly woke up and got out of my bed opening the window, I saw Fauzi was downstairs. I turned to look at the wall clock, five o'clock past forty-seven minutes.

"Why are you doing this early in the morning??" I'm confused.

"Didn't you read my message? Last night, I said I would come to your house at dawn.."

"But what's it doing??"

"Can you come down first? This early in the morning in front of your house can be considered a thief with your neighbors.."

I just woke up trying to gather all my consciousness and ran down to Fauzi below. Well in an instant I forgot about the pain of my feelings from waiting for news from Fauzi after seeing it in front of my eyes right now. I walked up to him.

"Why don't you wear a jacket or sweater, you'll be cold.."

"No, not really..."

"What no.. It's still early in the morning, the dew is still closing some places"

Fauzi took off the hoodie she was wearing and put it on me. I was confused and I was too.

"Come.." Fauzi said to pull me.

"Where to???"

"And I had a chat last night if I wanted to take you away early in the morning"

"Ta but where???" I was confused but still got into Fauzi's car.

"Somewhere.."

"But I'm still in my pajamas.."

"No papa, there will be my hoodie so you won't get cold. If the cold can hurt me too.." Fauzi said smilingly.

"Ta but I haven't got permission from Mom and Dad, they will.."

"I told Mom last night that I was going to bring you this morning" Fauzi said, helping me put my seatbelt on.

"You are.."

"Udah come along.." Fauzi kept showing her sweet smile.

I don't know where Fauzi's taking me, I don't even know what's going on right now. Fauzi suddenly came to pick me up early in the morning and took me away who I also did not know where. I opened my phone, it was true that last night Fauzi sent me a text message asking me to get ready this morning for taking me. But because I fell asleep I didn't read it.

A little sleep and fatigue work and the weather is still quite cold makes me so sleepy and unconscious to fall asleep on a trip that I do not know where to go.

"Good morning.." Sapa Fauzi smiled as I woke up.

"Ehh..." I was a little surprised. I forgot that Fauzi came to pick me up and asked me to come with him.

He kept looking at me, not since when he looked at me like this because when he first opened his eyes he was already looking at me like this.

"What time is it? How long do I sleep??"

"Hour seven, sleep about an hour.. Sorry to pick you up so early, I originally wanted to see the sunrise with you but you fell asleep"

"Ma sorry.."

"Why apologize? I should be the one apologizing for disturbing your sleep.."

I was silent for a moment.

"Where are we??"

"Let's get down.."

Fauzi helped me take off my seat belt and opened the door for me.

"What are we doing here??" I also had a little trouble walking because of the dew that made my feet wet.

"Do you want me to carry??" Fauzi said.

"Eh???"

Fauzi was already sitting in front of me preparing his back.

"Ta but..."

I slowly climbed onto Fauzi's back, grabbed him by the shoulder and slowly crossed my hand around his neck. Fauzi took me for a walk.

"Where are we going? What are we doing here??"

"You will know too.." Fauzi said, continuing to walk while holding me.

Not far enough from the car in the parking lot but long enough Fauzi walked carrying me, he himself had trouble walking let alone there was me as a burden at this time.

"Udah come down to me, you must be tired.."

"No.. And then it came again.." Fauzi said, walking on.

Fauzi stopped, he stood staring at the takeoff place of the plane around him in the cold green grass.

"What are we doing here??" Repetition.

Fauzi. Then turn around to face me.

"Salva.. Happy birthday to you.." Said smiling.

A little surprised, moved and a little upset. Why is he saying happy birthday to me? Even so I remain happy because this is the first time Fauzi has said happy birthday after seven years ago.

"May I hug you??" Ask. If this was a long time ago, Fauzi would not have asked my permission to hug me.

I didn't say yes or no, but walked up to her and hugged her first.

"Thank you for saying happy birthday to me.." I said to wrap my hands around her and hold her tightly.

"I'm late by the day, right??" Fauzi hugged back.

"Yes.. Too late.."

"Sorry.."

"Hmmm..." I answered, resting my head on Fauzi's chest.

Slowly Fauzi took off her embrace.

"Do you remember this place??"

I set my sights. A moment of bad memories flashed through my mind, it hurt to remember that time.

"This place where I was angry with you, I yelled at you and I hurt you that time. In this place I vent my emotions to you and in this place the first time I want to part with you"

Yeah, this place, where Fauzi ran away after seeing me with Farhan after graduating from my high school.

"I know there are bad memories for you in this place, so am I and today I want to change them all.."

I looked at Fauzi confusedly not understanding what he meant.

"Salvah.." Fauzi was holding onto my shoulder, and I was just looking at him. "I'll erase all the bad memories in this place and turn them into beautiful memories.." Said smiling. I kept quiet and still did not understand what Fauzi meant.

Fauzi took something in his hoodie pocket that I'm wearing right now.

"Do you want to be my wife??" Fauzi said as he thrust out a box containing a ring he took from his hoodie pocket.

I was silent for a moment, flabbergasted and very surprised. I didn't know Fauzi was gonna say this here, I had thought that Fauzi would not say this to me because what he said when he was sick was only part of the words spoken by a semi-conscious person.

"I promised to propose to you, right? But I'm sorry it's past your birthday.."

My eyes began to glaze over "Ja so.. wak that time you did not delirious? You're not half conscious of saying hello to me? You're you..."

"Yes.. I'm fully aware of talking like that. I was serious about what I said back then and I prove it now... You've seen my life plan from my book you read, right? I've started to approach you again and I'm ready to ask you to be my wife.."

I started crying, and happy and filled my feelings.

"Once again.. Salwa do you want to be my wife? Marry me, have a family with me, grow old with me, get up early to see me, prepare my breakfast, keep the kids with me and..."

I hugged Fauzi.

"Stupid.. Why ask something you already know the answer to. Why ask so many questions while you only need one answer from me.."

"So..."

"Why ask again??" I said look at him for a moment. "I would have..." My friend hugged him back.

"Totally serious????"

I just nodded.

"Thank you Salwaa... Thanks though.. Ilove you..." Fauzi hugged me tighter.

"Me too..."
