HANDSOME MASTER (Late In Love)

Obscured Request

Arriving at home, everything looks quiet, the mother is not in the yard, usually at this hour the mother is always busy with her favorite ornamental flowers, does not look bi Ijah sweeping or just cleaning the yard, but Dad's car is parked neatly, I don't know, this time I don't feel good.

Entering the living room, I saw my father sitting on a long, red sofa leaning against his back, looking very tired, it seemed, there were many complicated things going on.

I also felt tired today, without greeting my father, I immediately climbed the stairs passed to the room, it turns out that there was already a mother waiting for me on the edge of the bed.

"Saa, are you home, son?" my smile greeted me.

"Yes ma'am, today Saa came home early, again lack of work spirit, ma'am," said me slowly while dropping down on a soft mattress right next to the mother.

"Saa, listen to my mother well, son, your father has tried his best, he has gone to all friends even anyone he knows to help the company of the father." Mother spoke while rubbing my shoulder.

"Then?" question hangs.

"Mother, I hope Saa helps me, I'm sorry son, we can't make you happy." Mother sobbed with tears that had been dripping and even fell on her clothes.

"All right, ma'am, whatever's best." I let out a long sigh, trying to endure all the feelings of disappointment and chest tightness.

"Thank you, son, I'll tell your father this, he'll be happy to hear it." Mom's face instantly turned happy, her smile began to expand.

I no longer care about my fate, I have to help my family from this nightmare, my father and mother have raised me with great difficulty, maybe it's time I return the favor.

...

Dad came to my future husband's office to continue the conversation a few days ago that had been delayed.

"Sir, my daughter has agreed to marry you, how? are you still willing to help me?" Father pleaded as he clenched his hands together on his chest.

"You sure?" this dashing male question in front of him seemed to doubt the decision that had just been heard.

"Of course, my daughter has been thinking about it for days, of course my daughter is very happy to be married to the master."

"Well, tonight me and Joe will come to your house for dinner" he said flatly.

"Thank you sir, thank you so much "With a beaming face, I thank you over and over again.

...

"Bi, there's so much you're cooking this afternoon, like eating a village," I asked Bi Ijah who was busy helping Mom cut vegetables in the kitchen.

"Of course not, tonight there will be special guests," replied bi Ijah while holding a smile.

"Who, Mom, is our special guest?" I threw a question at the mother who stood up stirring the cooking in the pot.

"Of course, the future mother-in-law."

Degh, my heart feels like it's jumping out of place, my legs are shaking, palms are cold, I'm dead!

"Son, tonight you have to dress up pretty, wear the clothes you once bought for you, don't forget to wear simple makeup, let it look more elegant." Mom's orders instantly woke me up from the daydream.

"All right, Mom." I went back to my room with a feeling of remorse, it was hard to explain this feeling, between fear, shame, confusion, sadness, disappointment, nano-nano, rame it felt.

After taking a shower, I was just dumbstruck, sitting in front of this big glass table, talking to myself a little bit can help my fear, trying to strengthen my heart about whatever will happen later.

How can all this happen so quickly, even I am not ready to give up my bachelor, I still want to be free to go shopping, work, do all my hobbies, he said, gather with my friends and many more. I don't think I'm ready to be a pigeon in a cage, but, what dayaku, all already done, rice has become flour. Is my happiness the most important thing, my happiness? numbers so.

...

"Son, are you okay?" The knock on the door surprised me, and my mother came with a tray of my favorite tomato juice.

"Again father and mother thank you son, thank you for sacrificing for us" said the mother with teary eyes as she placed a tray in front of my glass table.

"Sabrina loves you, of course Sabrina is happy to make you happy if this is one of the ways" I replied while throwing a hug at her.

"Mom will prepare a dress for you to wear tonight dear."

"Should I dress up to get her attention, ma'am?"

"Of course, honey, you should be able to make him fall for you at first sight, that will imprint on him" explained mom as she brushed my hair softly.

"But Sabrina doesn't know him, does Sabrina have to love him too, Mom?"

"Let that love grow as time goes by, son, father and mother were also victims of arranged marriage, because your father's parents were very sick at that time, so they want their only child to be married immediately to the child of their close friend, the mother." With sparkling eyes mother tells the story of her introduction and marriage.

"Well, ma'am, thank you for giving Sabrina such a big boost, Sabrina knew it wasn't going to be easy at first, but hopefully it'll be much better in the future." I hugged my mother again.

Mother's words seemed to be the source of my strength, I would not give up, I had to strengthen my heart through all this, seeing my father and mother happy was everything, and this was the best time to do it.

Moments after my mother came out of my room, I went back to daydreaming about what would happen later, sometimes I sucked the tomato juice that was still cold in front of me, Ahh... Once upon a time when it came to the throat, really, I would miss being the favorite daughter of father and mother. Soon I would get married, of course my husband would take me to his house, either really being a wife in general, or being his maid.

...

"Mom, is that coming soon?" I went to my mother's room.

"In a moment, son, you seem so excited." I spoke while holding a smile.

"No ma'am, it's just," I said hanging.

"You nervous, son?"

"No, Sabrina is used to facing new people. All right, ma'am, Sabrina will get ready first."

I went back to my room, changed my nightgown to the knee-length pink dress Mom gave me on my birthday two months ago, slightly polished my lips with matching colored lipstick in this dress, sprinkling solid powder onto my left right cheek, and flattening it all over the surface of my face, I applied mascara on both my lashes, the top and bottom, I carved thin eyeliner over my eyelids, added a little touch to my eyebrows. I let my hair down as usual, pairing two pearl pincers on her right side.

"Ah... I look rather pretty by dressing up like this" I murmured inwardly with a smile.

Because I don't like to dress up, I think it's a waste of time, I prefer to look natural. Unless it is necessary, as it is today.
