Three hours and fifty seconds. Refal took that much time to get to and sat facing each other in Mr. Alan's office.
Mr. Alan was preparing to go home, fortunately Rephal gave news through a short message so that Mr. Alan paused his intention to go home.
"Did Rehal eat? If not, you'll have the waiter bring food for Naughty Refal." Mr. Alan sat down on the front sofa of Refal while putting two cups of coffee that still reflected the hot steam.
"No need, Sir. Thank you." Thank you." Short Refal reply.
"Before you were ready to go home, fortunately Bagas told you that Nak Refal would visit.
You are honored by the visit of Naughty Refal. Stop by often, even if we are not destined to be Daughters-in-law and In-laws, you will still receive the arrival of Naughty Refal with open arms." Mr. Alan looked at Refal with a look of astonishment. He felt lucky to get to know a young man of the class of Refal, an extraordinary young man.
Deep down, Mr. Alan felt sad if Refal to cancel the arranged marriage that he had designed very maturely with Mr and Mrs Sekar. However, before meeting with Refal tonight, Mr. Alan had already steeled his heart to hear the worst decision that Refal could give.
"Honestly, I feel as if we are sitting down to discuss the State issue.
Come on, let's enjoy the coffee. Let's talk slowly." Said Mr. Alan with a sense of urgency.
"A few hours ago Fatih, Umang and Regan visited my office." Refal began to open his voice between the silence of the air. The atmosphere that had felt awkward now began to melt by itself.
"What's wrong? Did those three kids cause any trouble? You don't know you know each other."
"Mr Alan was right, we didn't know each other. Because of a minor incident, we got to know each other."
"Insiden?" Mr. Alan asked with a frown. He began to remember his conversation with Fazila.
"What was the incident that Naughty Refal meant when Fazila fell and befell a man? Is that guy a Naughty Refal?" Mr. Alan asked carefully, he was afraid that his guess was wrong and would make Rebal angry.
"Yes, Mr. Alan is right. The incident I was referring to when Miss Fazila fell and fell on my body. It wasn't a big deal because I had forgotten about it, I didn't expect Miss Fazila to send her three sisters to apologize in person." Refal's face carved out a smile, a charming smile.
"Actually, I came here to talk about something important. I also don't know if this is important or not to Mr. Alan. Clearly, for me this is very important because it concerns my life."
It felt as if a huge boulder had struck Mr. Alan's chest, he felt fear and anxiety at the same time.
"I've thought things through very maturely, and I don't want to delay any more." Refal asserts in every sentence. While Mr Alan? He could only be silent, he was waiting for what Rebal would say next.
"I said I could not delay any longer, and by saying Bismillah hirrahmanirrahiim, I wanted to hasten my marriage and Miss Fazila." Refal said in a trembling tone of voice, he did not even blink his eyes in the slightest while saying that in front of Mr. Alan.
There was no response from Mr. Alan other than his wide smile. He was so happy that he could not speak. Without thinking, Mr. Alan immediately approached Refal and hugged the burly body of the man who would become his son-in-law.
"Wait a minute." Mr. Alan took off his arms from the sturdy body of Refal, on his face it was written that he was worried about something else.
"Didn't yesterday Naughty Refal ask for time? Six months? What about all that? Is Naughty Refal really sure about this relationship? You will not force. You also do not want if later this relationship will hurt the two of you, especially the daughter of the Father, Fazila." Mr. Alan confirmed with his flat speech. He even looked at Refal with a half-disbelieving look.
"I'm sure every parent will worry about their children. I promise I won't hurt Mr. Alan's daughter, and this is my promise as a man.
"The tongue is not boned, and we say whatever we want. Again, I will ask once again, is Naughty Refal serious about this relationship? You do not want Naughty Refal to do it because of coercion or pressure from Mr and Mrs Sekar!"
"Did Mr Alan see my face? My face does not emit any doubt what else lies. I sincerely say it from the bottom of my heart.
Asking for six months was not necessary, for two weeks was enough to change my heart, my mind and my opinion of Miss Fazila. There is still a burden left in my heart, and I am sure with Miss Fazila all that burden will evaporate into space." Speak with earnestness of heart.
For a moment Mr. Alan's office changed, silent. Neither Refal nor Mr Alan said anything more.
Mr. Alan was busy weighing the words of Rebal that sounded very convincing. While Refal? He could only shut up, as he had already said everything he wanted to say.
Tok.Tok-sign.Tok.
"Master, the car's ready." Say Bagas as soon as the door leaves are wide open.
"The lady called, she said your cell phone couldn't be reached. He left a message that he is currently at the house of Oma Miss Fazila. He also told you to pick up the Madam there." Bagas conveyed the message he carried with his head bowed.
"Yes, wait downstairs. I'll be here soon."
"Good, Sir."
A second later, there was Mr. Alan and Refal left. The two great men of different generations still dissolve in silence.
"I will soon discuss all of this with Mr and Mrs Sekar." Said Mr. Alan as soon as he started to open his voice.
"Mr Alan doesn't have to do that, I'll talk to Mama and Papa. Can I ask for one more thing?"
"Say, what is it!"
"I'm going to propose to Mr. Alan's daughter tomorrow afternoon, and I want to marry her the day after tomorrow!" Refal was earnest with his words, there was no doubt emanating from his handsome face. But it actually triggers caraguan from within Mr. Alan.
"W-what? Did I not hear wrong? Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? It was so rushed. I can't let go of my daughter that easily!"
"Mr Alan doesn't have to worry about anything, I'll take care of everything. Really, I think it's better we start this good thing.
My position is not only as a child, I must also prosper the lives of all those who entrust their lives in my leadership. And I need Mr. Alan's daughter-in-law's wife as a force and a place where I lean my head when I feel pressure."
"Alright, if that's a Naughty Refal decision. You will discuss everything with your family, including asking for Fazila's opinion on this matter. If he agrees, your marriage will be held two days from now. But if he refuses then you have no power to force him."
The serious discussion about the sudden marriage that Rebal proposed finally ended as well. I don't know what he was thinking until he asked for time in a very short time. From the bottom of his heart, Refal hoped that Fazila would approve of his heart's desire to immediately question him.
