Forgive Me, Love

23. I Wanted

" Are you healthy?" boby's question removed the awkwardness that existed between them.

" Thank God. That's."

Boby took a long breath. Reshuffled.

" You...why avoid me?" ask Boby slowly.

" I'm sorry. I just want to clear my mind."

" I'm sorry. Because of me, you're getting in more trouble. Maybe you're sick because you think the same way I talk." said Boby felt guilty.

Novia smiled faintly. Trying to forget his nervousness. He prayed in his heart that the decision he made was the right one.

" No, "his words stopped for a moment. He took a deep breath. " Mommy, can I ask you something?"

Boby nodded his head.

" Well, if we were to get married, what would our relationship be? "

Boby knitted his eyebrows together looking puzzled by the question Novia asked.

" I mean... If we marry without love between us, what will you do for the marriage? Boby knows, right, where is my heart? And I know where your heart goes. Is it possible that if we get married, the marriage will work?" novia explained.

" Now, no one knows what the future will be like. All I know is, right now, I like you. I'll make you happy. I will try to make my heart and my mind, only yours. And I will also try to make me have your heart too." replied Boby firmly.

" But for over a year I've always tried to change my heart, but I never could. My heart still does not want to change direction. Doing a loveless marriage, living a loveless married life, I can't imagine."

" Don't you imagine. We're trying to walk." Boby took a breath before continuing his words.

" You can't change your heart, because you're trying to be alone without anyone accompanying you. If you believe me, I will be with you, I will help you to change your heart. Maybe you think I'm too fat. Because I feel the same way. But after knowing you, little by little I can change the direction of my heart. I'm sure you can."

Novia was silent and did not answer Boby's words.

" I know what you're worried about. Like I said. Dating after marriage is more beautiful. So we're going to start our marriage by dating. Getting to know each other. I won't demand my rights as a husband before you're ready." Boby stopped his words.

He saw Novia's facial expression. Boby is confused about Novia's facial features. Novia remained silent.

" Nov, if this matter is so troubling to your mind, I will not force you. You can think about it again. We don't need to talk about it now. Ato.." Boby's speech paused for a moment. He took a deep breath.

" Ato..if you are not ready, you forget all my words." said Boby did not have the heart to see the look on Novia's face that looks depressed. Maybe it's better he relented than to make Novia more burdened. Boby felt his mind and heart were completely muddled at this moment.

Bismilbornrahmanirrahim.doa Novia in heart before she speaks.

" No mas. Novia had thought of everything. " Novia stopped her speech for a moment.

" God willing Novia is ready.

" sthat mean?" ask Boby with his smiley face.

" Novia is ready to accept Boby's application." Novia tried to answer by smiling. Although Novia is still not convinced by her decision, she tries not to show it in front of Boby.

" What Nov? Am I not wrong?" The look on Boby's face instantly turned very bright.

" God willing, Novia is ready to accept your proposal."

" really this? This...this... seriously Novia?" Boby could no longer hide his happy face. Like winning the lottery.

Novia replied with a nod of her head.

" Really?" so happy, Boby almost hugged Novia if Novia not a little shy. " Sorry.. sorry..."

Then Boby stood his back to Novia. He swung his hand..Yess...Novia accepted my proposal. What a joy beyond measure in Boby's life.

He turned around, sat in front of Novia with one leg on the ground, and one leg holding his hand. His hand was holding Novia's hand. Novia was actually awkward with this kind of position. But he didn't get a chance to refuse Boby's hand.

" Thank you...Thank you so much " said Boby, looking into Novia's eyes. And then he kissed the back of Novia's hand. Novia is shocked by Boby's treatment.

" I'm going to see your parents right now" said Boby after they got to Novia's house.

Well, after much chatting in the park, there was a bit of debate between them. Boby wants to take Novia home. Novia objected, arguing that she was carrying her own motorcycle. Boby didn't lose his mind either. Soon he contacted the security guard at his office to come to the park and bring Novia's motorcycle to his office.

Novia finally relented after seeing Boby's office security come and take her motorcycle away. Boby took her to dinner and then drove her home. Along the way Boby smiled faintly glanced at Novia who was still pouting because her motorbike was carried by the security.

Actually Novia felt the problem was evaporated just like that by Boby's attitude. Next to Boby, suddenly the problem could be forgotten.

" Let's get down."

" Mad, not now yes" replied Novia pleading. She was confused as to what to tell her parents.

" That's good, don't delay. Let's go get the spit down.." Boby got out of the car and opened the door for Novia.

" Come.." take her. But the one that was invited did not seem to want to go down. " Let's spit it out.." he added.

" This is who has whose house. How do you really want to enter the house?" novia asked as she put her lips together.

" Will not come down? Okay ..ya already..we go to our house only." joked Boby while wanting to close the car door.

Novia immediately got in the way with her hands.

" Our house? When do we have a home. Huh..."

" We're getting married soon. Yes automatically my house becomes our home." replied Boby continues his joke. Boby looks anxious with Novia attitude Novia if again sewot. Funny, too, according to Boby.

" What the hell." Novia got out of the car and walked towards her house. Boby followed him from behind.

Before opening the door, Novia turned towards Boby.

" Just acquaintance, don't talk too far first."

Boby replied with a nod with a grinning smile.

Novia opens the door to "Assalamualaikum"

" Greetings waalaikum" replied Ms. Arum.

" Sit first mas." said Novia invited Boby to sit.

" lady...Sir.." call Novia.

" What the hell is nduk? " ask Mr. Samsul after Novia arrived at the family room.

" There's a november. He said he wanted to meet my father with my mother. Outside." replied Novia while pointing at the living room with her chin.

Then Mr. Samsul and Bu Arum went from his seat to the living room.

Seeing the arrival of Novia's parents, Boby immediately stood up. Shake hands with Mr. Samsul and Ms. Arum.

" Novia's work buddy huh?" ask Mr. Samsul after allowing Boby to sit back.

" Yes, sir."

" A minute...Mom seems to have met. Where ya?" said Ms. Arum while remembering.

" In this house, ma'am. Yesterday Novia was sick, I came here. Intend to visit. But the ones in the hall were even engrossed in sleep. " Tempting Boby while glancing towards Novia. Novia looks new ngeh if the one yesterday who brought parcel of big fruit is Boby.

Not yet Boby replied, mother preceded "Oh yes... Bener.. bener.he's this nduk who was here yesterday. At that time I forgot his name." Mom became excited herself.

" Yes Ma'am. I'm Boby. I'm working with Novia on a new school building project."

" Oh, Boby's son is working outside. I think you are both teachers "said the father.

" This father. It looks like this does not pantes as a teacher sir." said Novia while smilingly glancing at Boby. Boby just smiled.

" Kid Boby is suddenly want to meet the father of this mother is actually what is it?" ask Mr. Samsul.

Hearing Mr. Samsul, immediately Novia glared at Boby gesturing so that Boby did not say anything first to his parents.

" Mmmm... May I have a drink first? Nov, can you make me drink?" pinta Boby deliberately so that Novia leaves them.

" Oh.. just pause."

After Novia's departure, Boby began to explain her intentions and goals of coming to the house. Mr. mangosteen listened to Boby's explanation.

The mother looks bright. It looks like Ms. Arum is very happy to hear that.

" Thank God, sir.. Finally Novia wants to get married too" said Ms. Arum.

Novia emerged from behind the living room wall carrying a glass of orange syrup.

" It's a mas"

" When was Boby's parents invited here?" ask Mr. Samsul.

Novia seemed confused by her father's question.

" Quickly sir. Soon I will tell my mother. And soon my mother will be invited here to apply for Novia officially. "

Novia glared towards Boby. But apparently Boby pretended to ignore Novia. He was still busy talking to Mr. Samsul.

•••

When the clock was nine o'clock at night, Boby said goodbye to Novia's parents.

Novia was a bit upset actually. He feels in cuekin.

" I went home first huh. " said goodbye to Boby when he got near the car.

" Hmmm!" novia answered without looking at Boby.

Nyebelin really so people.inner Novia sebal with Boby's attitude.

Boby walked closer to Novia.

" Hey, are you angry?"

All I asked was a joke.

" If you're angry it's beautiful to fade you know" said Boby ngegombal dimeh.

Novia remained silent.

" Mm, so bales the story. I'm on cuekin." continued Boby while menoel Novia's nose.

" What the hell." Novia brushes Boby's hand.

" From earlier, I was invited to chat in them."

" Boby made Novia Kesel. "

" In general why?"

" So Novia said, don't talk to me first with my mom. Uh, Boby even deliberately sent me to the dalem to make a drink."

" I am sorry. If we have good intentions, why delay?"

Though in Boby's heart, he accidentally told Novia's parents about his intention to marry Novia. Apparently he was afraid Novia changed her mind. It seems like he should also plan a wedding soon.

" Yes anyway. You don't have the burden to tell your mom right?"

" Yes.iya.." replied Novia still with a sewot tone.

" How come you're still angry? I'm sorry. Dong was angry. Your future husband wants to go home. Love the cake smile." pinta Boby.

Novia smiled with a forced smile.

" That's a big smile...??"

" What do I do tomorrow? My bike was stolen by people."

" Tomorrow, also behind the bike. Dong pouted it. I'll be anther tomorrow at work."

" Not to mas. Tomorrow I'll ask you to help me make nganter. I told the security guard to take my motorcycle to school."

" No. no. You can't be hugged by your friends. You have a future husband. Let your future husband be the one who nganter tomorrow. Your temen must be a guy. There's no point" replied Boby pias.

Seeing the look of Boby, Novia suddenly laughed.

" How do you laugh?"

" You're funny. You know if I'm a guy. H.ha.ha.." Novia really couldn't help but laugh.

I finally saw you laughing Nov. Keep laughing and smiling. Don't be sad anymore. I will always make you happy, Boby said in his heart.

" Yes, ah. Already malem..Boby came home."

Boby nodded. Then he walked to the side of the car and opened the car door.

" Be careful on the road. No speeding." pinta Novia.

Nyess. Adem it feels like Boby's heart got Novia's attention. She smiles.

" I'll go home first. What time do I pick you up tomorrow?"

" Hour and a half seven o'clock Boby got here. "

" okay. We'll have a chat later.."

" Yes .. if not sleeping." replied Novia with a smile.

" Here you go in the house. Cold air. You just healed. I'm h-home. Assalamualaikum." said Boby then got into the car.

" Greetings waalaikum."
