Merlin fell silent. His eyes are already glazed now. But, he tried hard so that water would not spill from his eyes.
"Can ... can I know why you love me, Dicky?"
"Does love need a reason to be anchored in someone's heart, Merlin? I don't think so. Because love is a very subtle feeling. He cannot be forced, nor can he be prevented. He came without us knowing and did not have to wait for an excuse. Because if love is for a reason, then when what is the reason you love changes, then your love will also disappear."
The clear circle that Merlin had held before, had now finally fallen as well. He could not hold back any more tears now. Those words really touched Merlin's innermost heart.
"Lin, I know the defense of your heart is very strong. I know you have a lot of consideration too. But I am ready to hear whatever decision you make. One thing you need to know, I will not promise to be the best for you. But I will try to be the best forever. Even though it's all a process it's gonna take a long time."
"Dicky .... "
Merlin still could not answer what Dicky was asking. The statement of feeling did indeed make Merlin so moved that he could not say anything but mention Dicky's name alone.
"Dicky. I ... I accept it." Merlin said as he dropped his body to hug Dicky who was still kneeling.
"What-what? What did you say just now? Can I hear those words one more time, Merlin?"
"I accept it, Dicky." Merlin spoke in a louder voice.
The atmosphere is getting more created. Dicky, who was very happy with the answer, returned Merlin's embrace very tightly. They hugged while sitting accompanied by the sound of peacocks that sounded very noisy but could be soothing.
"Thank you for this very happy answer, Lin. I am not a romantic man. But, as hard as I can, I'll try to be whatever you want."
"It doesn't have to be anything to me, Dic. Because all this time, you've given me the best. You just need to be the Dicky that's always been there for me, like you've been doing all this time."
"You know, I try so hard to be the best. In the end, though, I feel like I always fail to make you melt with what I do."
"Who said you failed? You succeed. It's just, you never noticed."
"That's because you didn't show it to me. Just try to show me that you're devastated by what I'm doing. Maybe, it was yesterday that you became my legal wife."
"Hey ... What are you saying, hm? Am I not now your legal wife, young master?"
"Eh .. oh yes, I forgot. We've got the wrong husband and wife. That means, knowing each other's feelings."
"Mm ... The ring is still not accepted by anyone who has it. When will anyone be willing to accept this ring?" Dicky asked the ring in his hand.
Merlin did not answer. He just put on a blushing face with a small smile. Dicky knew his wife was maintaining an ego.
"Here's hand. Borrow the ring nitip so that people know that these fingers already have."
"Ih, nitips. Could you please." Merlin said while stalling his hand. The red face was still very clear.
Dicky pinned the diamond ring to Merlin's ring finger. The ring looks perfectly matched to Merlin's tiny, wiggly finger.
"Pretty." Merlin spoke while looking at the ring on his ring finger.
"of course. I bought it with love."
"You won't understand, my dear wife. Oh yes, if you want a lot of rings, I'll buy them again. If you want to go with the store, we choose which store you like. I'll buy it."
"Dicky, please don't show me your young master's figure. Because I feel very uncomfortable. Our status is different."
"Oh my God, today gini still compares status. You're still bobo noon huh, Lin? So it's still getting carried away in the atmosphere of your unfinished daytime nightmare."
"I'm telling the truth, Dic. Because status is always a barrier to a relationship."
"But not with you, is it? It is too late to talk about status. You're already my wife. Neither does my family dispute your position. So status doesn't matter to us, does it?"
"Hm .. yes. You're correct. Oh yeah, by the way, when did you buy this ring? Don't tell me you've all planned it before, Dic."
"That's my secret. You don't need to know about this. Clearly, we are now difficult to be a legitimate married couple. So, you don't have to talk about you leaving me again."
"Feelings, from yesterday also we have become a legitimate married couple."
"Yes I know. But yesterday not with love tied up her marriage. Now, with love."
"Oh yeah, do you agree if we hold our wedding reception later. Next, we'll find a place for the honeymoon."
"Dicky .. don't mess with you. We are young, how .... Uh! Don't say anything weird" said Merlin, throwing his face to the side.
Merlin tries to hide the shame of his blushing face from imagining a honeymoon. He didn't want Dicky to realize that right now, he was imagining things that weren't when he heard the word honeymoon just now.
'Ah, that's fucking shit. Why do I immediately imagine a no-no when Dicky said the word honeymoon? Merlin-Merlin's. Therefore, do not mostly watch your romantic drama, said Merlin in his heart while trying to calm the heart.
Meanwhile, Dicky who knew what Merlin was thinking, smiled amusedly. Amused to see the behavior of Merlin who tried to hide a blushing face from him.
"Why are you smiling like that, huh? Is there anything funny?" merlin asked as she watched Dicky smile while looking at her.
"There certainly is."
"What?"
"You."
"I? What's so funny about me?"
"lots. And the number of them, I can't name them one by one."
"I'm not a clown, so don't tell me I'm funny." Merlin spoke with a pouting face.
"Hey .. Is it only clowns that are funny?"
"Tau .. don't want to discuss. Go home."
Now, for the first time Merlin was so spoiled in front of Dicky. This left Dicky stunned for a moment.
