DELENE
ELEVEN
“Happy mother’s day, ma. Thank you for giving birth to Delena.” Delena hugged the woman who had given birth to her tightly. While the mother kissed the top of the girl's head, a middle-aged man and a woman in the room smiled.
“Smama's little daughter, mama misses you, baby.”
“You're getting thinner. In Bogor must rarely eat.” This time Delena's father spoke. He put on a sullen face that made Delena suddenly remember his Gavin.
The gavin?
“Delena eat a lot of ko, Pa. Don't worry yeah. Indeed, the son of this Papa has been afraid of thin so Delena's small body continues.”
The father smiled as he rubbed his daughter's head. “You've had a long holiday, right? Stay here with Papa. Your mom and sister want to go and leave Papa again out of town.”
Delena looked at her mother and sister in turn. “Urusan works, Del. Mama wants to go on vacation, she said. You want to come too?” selena asked looking at her little sister softly. Delena shook her head, “I have an appointment with someone else. Sorry Delena too, Pa. Delena nginep tonight just.”
Delena's father nodded lethargicly. Then suddenly the sound of the door being knocked shifted the gaze of everyone who was in the room. “It must be Joshua and his family,” Selena said. The woman tidied up her dyed hairdo before moving on to greet her fiance.
“Happy day all.”
Not Joshua, not Om Arfa, not even Bi Eneng his housekeeper who came. Except Gavin, Adrian Gavin Surendra who came to his family room at that time. Delena would probably have dropped her heart if she didn't immediately control her shock.
Why did Gavin come to his house?
“Gavin?” asked Delena's father to represent all of his family members. The man smiled and then walked in. He had a flower in his right hand, and the man looked handsome.
Gavin looked at Delena then blinked one eye before his gaze turned to both the girl's parents and her supermodel brother. “How are you, Om Matthew? Aunt Santika?”
“Hai Selena." Gavin greeted warmly.
The man gave a bouquet that turned out to contain tulips in a variety of beautiful colors on Mrs. Santika, Delena's mother. “For aunt?” ask Santika not to believe it.
Gavin nodded, his sweet smile still adorning his face until Delena thought was he not sore so handsome continue?
“Tante knew Gavin had been left by mom a few years ago. So Gavin wants to say happy mother's day to Gavin's new mom-to-be.”
Everyone was shocked by the man's statement. Selena who was about to drink her juice immediately choked to make everyone look at her.
“What do you mean Gavin?” Again, Matthew asked representing everyone who was there.
“Gavin likes Delena.”
Deg.
Someone please tell me that his ears are troubled! Or just say that Delena is in her halo world right now!
“Wah, Son Gavin! You have grown up. And what is this? Have you recently proposed to Delena?”
“Om Arfa?”Selena smiled cheerfully looking at her future in-laws who had already come. He searches for Joshua's whereabouts but the man doesn't show up.
Just like Selena, Delena was also curious. He almost forgot Gavin's shocking statement a few minutes ago.
Wasn't Joshua waiting for her to take him home together to Jakarta? Then where's the guy?
“Tadi Joshua said it would follow. Maybe he's stuck in traffic.”Arfa explained after seeing the curious gazes of the two girls before her.
“Arfa, Gavin, you're sitting here. Speak not while standing, my neck began to ache.” Matthew patted the empty spot next to him while staring at Gavin.
The real reason was not because of the ache, everyone knew that. Gavin just suddenly comes, carries a bouquet of flowers, then throws a statement implying that he will make Delena his wife.
“So, Gavin..are you seriously going to propose to princess Om? Om didn't know you guys were close before.” Matthew looked at Gavin and Delena alternately. While Delena was just silent not knowing what to say or do, Gavin smiled shyly and nodded. “Gavin has not proposed to Delena directly before but it is certain Gavin is serious,” the man said.
“Om how Delena. Either way you will undergo. What do you think, baby?”
“Head Delena dizzy, Pa. Delena wants to go to room ya.” The girl got up, then walked away slowly without wanting to cross paths with anyone. Especially Gavin, who silly came to propose to him when they had only known each other for one week.
The sound of knocking on the door shifted his gaze, as well as his super puzzling excitement. Delena approached only to ask who was outside before finding out the knocker was the man. Adrian Gavin Surendra can do anything he wants.
“Ngapain you here?” ask Delena.
“Let me go in first, Del.”
Delena opened the door for him after weighing that he needed an explanation from the man. Otherwise his heart would be broken.
“You must be shocked..and confused.” The man made small talk, apparently choosing the right word to say.
“I try to be honest with my own feelings. I think.. I think I'm in love with you.”
“I also.”
Delena said slowly. But due to their proximity, Gavin could hear it very clearly. The man smiled widely, from near his face looked perfectly innocent like a child. With a pure white skin and adorable dimples, any woman would not be able to resist it, right? Delena even realized the man had a pair of beautiful dimples.
“Oh, I don't think I'll make it in the first try. It turns out that my feeling is not just one-sided geez so relieved it feels.”
“First try?”
“I thought I would be rejected so I prepared another plan like that,” Gavin smiled shyly.
It's so golly!
“What plan?”
“Hmm..bring you jammed again to the top and continue to sleep in the middle of the road so want not want you have to nerima me.”
Delena was blown away as Gavin raised both eyebrows while mentioning his ridiculous plan. “You ngancem then.”
“Biarin, the important thing is that you belong to me.”
The two fell silent, just a few seconds before laughing at each other again.
“That's so weird that I said rich?”
Delena immediately nodded while trying to hold back her laughter that was about to break again.
“Where's the ring?” the girl asked after realizing she had accepted Gavin's proposal to her.
“Later I buy first.”
“Serious?”
“Not. Close your eyes!”
“What's new?”
“Del..”
Delena could not stop smiling. He then nodded and closed his pair of neutrals. However, instead of receiving the ring, he instead received a kiss on his forehead.
His heart was pounding, he felt thousands of butterflies like he had just flown in his stomach. But the girl was pouting looking at her man.
“Gavin you are not really capital..” his speech stopped when he looked at the gaze of Gavin. A gold necklace with pendulum inscribed with the letters D and G is attached to his neck. Delena looked at Gavin and the necklace took turns.
“Thank you for me. Thanks for making me the happiest man in the world.” Gavin smiled again, and Delena was sure she would never tire of seeing that smile forever.
"..."
"I don't know what to say!" Laughing again, Delena hid her face in the man's arm. He could feel Gavin laughing as well before rubbing his head gently.
