Hope Is You's

One

A girl turned to face the mirror, once again looking at the long mirror in the corner of her room

"hmmm good I'm satisfied, don't menor kayak chili right but? " he said to himself because he was in the room alone after almost two hours of dressing up and preparing himself by wearing a pink salem kebaya and a black gold-colored batik skirt

Tok tok tok tok

The sound of knocking on the door shifted his attention from the mirror to the door that was still closed

"come in, not locked!" tell him from inside the room

The door opened and featured a middle-aged woman wearing a kebaya dress and the same colored batik skirt that the girl was wearing

"Atika, it's finished yet? The dress is long, this is just a graduation yet your wedding event" Sarifah's mother told Atika, her daughter

"oh mother why so even tipped the marriage problem anyway" replied Atika with a little lips

"don't sulk that way. You've been grooming for a long time, but.. "

"but what's ma'am?"

"you are beautiful baby, not in vain you groom and long" he continued with a smile and then cupped Atika's face with both hands and kissed the cheek of his second daughter

"how not beautiful try if his mother is as beautiful and elegant as the lady Sarifah Hasyim"

"already ah no need to fight mom, if we're done out and then go to your campus, then we're late" said his mother and pulled her son out, then pulled her out, do not forget to check all the equipment needed by Atika during her graduation event.

At 2:45 p.m

Atika is now legally a graduate precisely a business management bachelor, he and his family are now taking pictures in a photo booth that has been provided by the university.

After taking pictures with both parents and then changing with an older brother, sister-in-law and sister as well as one niece, she said, now he seems to be restless, his eyes to the left and right are like looking for someone

"who's looking?" Rifdah, his sister-in-law suddenly rubbed Atika's cheeks when she realized her sister-in-law was agitated waiting for someone

"sister rif, yes he has not looked too late even though the event has finished, soon we go home hhhhhhh "Atika breathes slowly hoping that there is a little anger reduced

"maybe he's busy. Is he not immediately inaugurated as the young CEO of the successor to Altar Group, replacing Papa who has retired? " Atika simply replied with a nod

"you have to familiarize yourself dong with his busyness, this is nothing, later if he is already official and legitimate as the leader of the Altar Group his busyness can be more than this" continued his sister-in-law

"yes, but he promised" replied Atika lethargic, as if realizing something Rifdah rounded his eyes towards the back of Atika

"ehh tik, I went to Adit first well like he was overwhelmed by Syifa" Rifdah then passed leaving Atika, Aditya was the brother of Atika and Syifa the children of Aditya and Rifdah

His gaze was still fixed on the university gate, suddenly a white rose appeared in front of his face, the angular reflex of his lips was attracted to form a sweet smile but a second later his smile disappeared changed to frown and then folded his hands in front of his chest



The giver of flowers understood Atika's attitude, he then turned his back on Atika and gave a sincere and handsome smile that had fascinated Atika all along

"tell again right" Atika with her sulking tone

"sorry"

"that's all?"

"this!" the man again showed the white rose to Atika

"aish Ian! No explanation or what? " the man named Ian laughed a little and then looked back gently at Atika

"okay, earlier I apologized" Ian then grabbed Atika's hand and grabbed it

"the initial planning should have been here at 11:00 but before I was about to leave here there was a meeting and it was mandatory that I attended, forced at 11:00 I had to go to Clarion's hotel to attend a meeting and have lunch there with clients" explained Ian who responded by Atika with a round mouth forming 'O'

"okay just O?" and Ian again

"trus what should I say?" Ian then smiled and wrapped his hands around Atika's waist which made Atika look shocked

"Dian! this is a public place, you know, a lot of people here" protested Atika trying to remove her waist from Ian's hand

"ohs.. So if this isn't a public place and it's just the two of us, we can... " Ian hung up his sentence then blinked one eye teasingly

Atika pinched Ian's waist until the man complained "awwww sick" Atika just laughed to see Ian and then pulled his lover's hand towards the photo booth

"ease making jokes, we take photos together first" Atika said as she walked towards the photo booth

❤❤❤

"where are we going?" atika asked when she realized that Ian's car was driving but not the road to his house, Ian just smiled and kept holding his hands gently while still concentrating on driving

"sad?" insist Atika

"i want to kidnap you!"

"not funny" Atika replied with a flat expression

"hahaha aren't you afraid of being kidnapped like me? "

"why afraid? I trust you completely" Atika replied with a sweet smile

Cuppy

Ian clenched Atika's forehead as Atika brought her head closer to Ian, not long after a second and Atika pulled her head back

"well, Atika Nisfah Hasyim, S, Mb has given me this belief"

"hahaha complete until his title is not left behind" Atika laughed and replied to Ian's distinctive smile

Ian's car entered the parking area of a cafe and parked his car not so far from the entrance of the cafe

"what are we doing here? " ask Atya before they get out of the car

"come on!" Ian's Word

"but at home again there's my graduation. Mom knew about you, didn't she? We had lunch at home"

"yes I remember, but we stopped by here for a while, not for long" Ian then got out of the car and opened the car door for Atika

"ayo down. Or do you want to carry?" asked Ian when he saw Atika flinching in her seat

"do you not see my clothes? " Ian just raised next to his eyebrows a sign of not understanding

"i'm still wearing a robe and toga when did I get into the cafe kayak gini?"

"what's the problem, my dear Nis? Udah ah come" Ian pulled Atika's hand to get out of the car and yerus grasped his lover's hand to enter the cafe

The view of Atika exploring inside the cafe, after being in the cafe was dim and minimal light as if it was night because there was not the slightest bit of sunlight from outside that entered this cafe, lighting was only a few lanterns, and the candles neatly arranged on each table and side of the cafe, romantic is the impression felt by Atika after entering the cafe.

Ian danced a chair for Atika and then turned to the chair in front of Atika, there was one table certainly in the middle of them

"candlelight lunch? " ask Atika who answered a nod and a smile by Ian, after two or three minutes a waiter came with a tray in his hand and on the tray there was already a juice soursop-favorite Atika, Atika, ian's favorite avocado-juice, and a dish that's still covered in serving hoods

"our feeling has not ordered anything, wrong table this time" Atika with a frown of wonder on her forehead but the servant still set and say if what he brought on the table Atika and Ian

"good to enjoy mbak, mas" the waiter smiled kindly while welcoming the customer

"thank you mbak" Ian smiled at the waiter and turned to Atika who was still looking wondering

"drink dong dear" Atikah grabbed a straw that stood in her class, took a sip and then looked back at her lover who had kept smiling staring at Atika, but Atika did not mind that because that smile that had been able to make her comfortable near the man

"honey, how long have we been with gini?" ian's question suddenly made Atika frown

"cock suddenly asked that? Some of the time you don't know how many years we've been?"

"hemm, 4 years, right?" Atika replied with a nod

"during those 4 years, what were your impressions of being near me?

"why is it like a schoolboy graduating from school, using impressions?" Atika laughed a little in response to her lover's question

"answer that"

"hemm the effects of yah?" Atika seemed to think and continued, "I don't know" while raising her shoulders

"do you not know? "

"yes yes I don't know what to answer if asked that" Atika again sipped the soursop juice

"in essence, I am comfortable around you, happy to see you smile because and for me, sebelo if in a day you do not connect with me" explained Atika make Ian display his trademark smile

"so if you are always near me every day, there is always a time when I will close and open my eyes. Cooking, serving, and accompanying me breakfast, lunch and dinner, accompanying me in all my activities, accompanying me when there are meetings with my clients, will you be happy and happy to do so? "

Degdeg..

Atika's heart beats twice as fast as usual "what does it mean? What I'm going to do.." the sentence in his heart was not finished because he saw Ian standing up from his seat then approached and kneeled before him while taking out a small box of navy velvet, his heart seemed to want to jump out of its position. Ian opened the box and held the velvet box in his right hand and his left hand opened the saji hood that was on the table, Atika's eyes rounded to see a mini velvet cake with a heart-shaped mini writing on it

"will you marry me? "

Tears harunya can not be weathered anymore, from earlier his eyes have begun to heat up until finally the clear circle glides smoothly on his face which is increasingly blushing due to the treatment of his love.

Atika nodded a few times then replied "yes, I will"

Ian then paired the titanium ring with a small diamond perched on top of the ring, "fitting" Ian exclaimed and then stood up and hugged his lover tightly

"thank you" he murmured.
