HAVE YOU EVER LOVED ME? (TAMAT)

ALMOST PROPOSE

Arumi felt uneasy, Not that she was GR with what Keenan said earlier. But he seems to know what Keenan's arrival at Ms. Fatma's house means. I don't want him to have to think about it. If it was true that Keenan had more feelings for him, what would he answer later? he is still not sure of his own feelings.

Arumi tries to shift her mind about Keenan with her current job. He has to remain professional at work, and try to forget about Keenan's problems.

The clock shows the time to go home from work. Arumi immediately tidied up her things and put them in a bag. Today she's going home alone without Lilis. Intan and Mita house different directions with Arumi. That's why they can't go home together.

Although every day he came home using an angkot, but he had never ridden an angkot alone. All this time there was Lilis who accompanied. As a widow, sometimes there are people who tease her. He's just worried about it. As Arumi waited for the angkot at the stop near the factory, there was someone watching her from a distance. The person looks at a photo and then looks at Arumi again. Like matching something.

" Ho boss, I think I saw the same kind of person in the photo. "

"What's right, lo? you didn't see wrong, did you? " said Dani to his men.

" I took a picture of the man, wait, my boss sent me a picture. "

Dani's phone rang a sign that a message had come in apparently a photo of a veiled woman standing near the stop. Dani matched the photo sent by Jack with the one in the photo given by Rayyan. And sure that they are both the same person. Because it's 90% similar.

" Hello Jack, please keep amatin that girl huh. Do not lose track. If you need to follow where he's going. "

" Okay boss, I'll follow the girl. I used to be the boss, I think he wants to ride the angkot. I have to go after angkot. "

" Smuck Jack don't lose track! "

Dani immediately contacted Rayyan who was in Jakarta, the boss must immediately know about this news. He had spread his men to some point in the city of Garut. And sure enough there were his men at one point who saw his boss's ex-wife.

"Hello and, what's the news today? "

"Boss, I already know where the boss' ex-wife is right now. My men met Arumi's mother near a stop on Pattimura Road. These are my men following in the footsteps of Arumi's mother boss. And I told my men not to lose track. He is now following Arumi's mother.

"And, please assure me that it's really Arumi."

"I sent you a picture of him, Boss. Just a minute."

Dani sends a photo to Rayyan, when Rayyan opens it it's true it's Arumi. His body looks fatter than it used to be.

" Yes And that's Arumi. 100% I'm sure it's Arumi. Please don't lose track of him. After this I will go to Garut.

Dani can only obey the orders of his boss. In his heart he felt how much his boss loved his ex-wife. Dani did not know what caused his boss until his divorce from Arumi. Because it's none of his business.

Along the way Rayyan felt restless, on one hand she felt happy because eventually she would meet with Arumi soon. But on the other hand he was also afraid that Arumi would not accept it and instead stayed away from it again. Various kinds of thoughts raged in the brain but he tried to stay focused on the streets. He drives his car at high speed. The Jakarta-Garut trip takes 4 hours. Maybe he'll reach Garut at 9pm if it doesn't get stuck.

After Isya's prayer, Keenan gets ready to go to Ms. Fatma's house. He and his mother had prepared after the Maghrib prayer. Mom Ema was always smiling happily. Because soon his desire to get a daughter-in-law like Arumi will be fulfilled. Keenan actually looks tense because this is the first time he will express his feelings to a woman.

Keenan expressed his feelings not for a playful relationship but wanted to go straight to the marriage stage. Keenan had been thinking carefully since he was sick yesterday. At first she feels indecisive with her feelings, but after a few days she is taken care of by Arumi, she feels that her feelings are indeed love. Keenan is ready with a white long-sleeved shirt with gray pants. That makes Keenan look even more handsome. Ms. Ema wears a light blue robe and a hijab of the same color. Not to forget he also brought a little souvenir for the Arumi family.

Keenan immediately drove off his car after Ms. Ema was already sitting sweetly next to him. This mother will be a historic witness of her love.

***********

Arumi told Fatma that Keenan and his mother will be coming tonight. When Ms. Fatma asked what was going on, Arumi could not answer because Keenan did not say what purpose she had come for. Arumi ended up buying some cookies at a store not far from her home. Fatma also cooked potluck. Ms. Fatma knows very well the taste of Ms. Ema because they also often eat together at the house of Ms. Fatma.

At exactly eight in the evening, Keenan and Ms. Ema arrived at Ms. Fatma's house. Keenan looked amazed to see Arumi who wore a gray robe with a headscarf that was wide to the stomach. It was like seeing an angel standing in front of him. I don't know why the more days he sees Arumi getting prettier. Maybe because he had already started to realize his feelings for Arumi.

"Come on Mas Keenan, Miss Ema please come in." Arumi invited them to sit down.

"Mrs Ema, Mas Keenan was tasted. Sorry, we only provide potluck. Because Mas Keenan also told him suddenly so we didn't have time to shop anything." Said Ms. Fatma

" No need to bother Ms. Fatma, it is precisely we who apologize for our arrival even troublesome you. "

"Ah no hassle Mom. by talking Mas Keenan and Ms Ema here What is necessary? Looks like there's something serious you guys are going to talk about, huh? "

" Look Fatma let Keenan start this conversation. "

Just now the acquaintance was willing to convey his intentions, there was a noise outside.

"Please help those fires!!!!!!"

Some residents ran out of the house. Arumi and Keenan finally came out to see what happened. Sure enough on the street in front of his house there was a fire growing in the middle of the road. Keenan watched closely as it turned out that it was a tire that was deliberately burned in the middle of the road. I don't know who did it. Keenan finally folded the sleeves of his shirt and also his pants he took water with a bucket from the tap in front of his house Bu Fatma assisted by some other residents to extinguish the fire, as the fire grew larger, Keenan and the citizens became overwhelmed. But they kept putting it out.

In the distance there was a man smiling happily. He was satisfied that he had made a fuss.
