There were a few precious days left before our vacation ended. Reza and I spent time with a happy routine. For example, we woke up early, he was vigorously exercising, and I loved to disturb him. Like when she was pushing up, I purposely leaned over her body and counted how many times she was able to push up with her weight plus me on it. And it goes on every morning. He who is diligent in exercising, suddenly very fond of push-ups just because I. I always make it a spirit to welcome the morning, he said.
During the day, we spent the whole afternoon joking on the swings, sometimes relaxing and cuddling affectionately on the hammock, or watch a movie with a led projector and relax with the same bean bag. He deliberately bought a large size bean bag so that we could relax with one bean bag together. Of course, not with popcorn, but with a cup of hot water, beans, and a bottle of cold jasmine tea.
As the afternoon approached, we walked by the beach, blown by the wind, cool our hearts, calm ourselves, look blue. Exactly like the lyrics of the song My Life Is Peace Your Heart belongs to Caffein. Even Reza once intentionally brought a guitar to sing that song was special to me. He never let me be alone or gave me opportunities for things that made me uncomfortable - covering our days. Every afternoon, spending time with different beaches is a lot of fun. Balangan Beach, Kedonganan Beach, Tuban German Beach, Kelan Beach, and Segara Beach, all locations are not too far from villas, beaches that are not too famous, and, but much more fun because not too many visitors like the beach in Bali in general.
In the evening, we played guitar near the pool. She, Wingless Angel, Greatest Beloved, Anji's three best songs became my favorite songs. We also just looked at the beautiful stars scattered in the sky, with the rhythm and tone of shahdu songs that flow from portable mini speakers that day we bought. Those are the little things that work best for me. Also the way he spoiled me, he always waited for me to fall asleep, then he moved to another room.
"I'll miss times like this" I said, as she tidied up my blankets as I got ready to go to bed on our last night at the villa.
Reza. "We'll always be like this, when we're together. Especially after we get married. Your happiness will be perfect with my love."
Love's. Love's. Love's. The word swirled in my brain. I closed my eyes, leaning more intimately against his chest. "Four April, come quickly" my senand.
"Darling?"
"Emm?"
"Before the four of April, there is the twenty-third date of March. You remember?"
I'm starting to get anxious. "Yeah" I said, without moving a bit.
"Can I have a chat for a minute?"
"About what?"
"About the twenty-third date. You asked me to rethink our marriage."
"I'll keep marrying you, no matter what," she cut, making my worry level drop for a moment. "But...."
I cringe. "But what, Mas?" I asked, and the level of worry increased again, although not as high as before.
"But you have to be honest about what you cover from me. Please?"
I'm silent for a moment. I don't know what I'd better say. "I...."
"Honesty is good for yourself. So that you don't always feel burdened and scared. You will definitely feel free afterwards, unlike these few days. After we came back from Seminyak that day, you were not as usual, you were holding back, afraid that you might speak wrongly. Aye, right?"
I'm nodding. He seems to be aware of my attitude. "But I'm scared, Mom."
"Fear I'm gonna change my mind? Afraid I'd leave you? Didn't he? Hm? Look, believe me, whatever you're going to say, it's not going to affect my decision."
I'm nodding. "I'll tell you everything. But not now."
"So when? Isn't now the right time, so we're still together? After this, we don't know, do we, when are we going to meet again?"
I breathe heavily. "Not now, Mum. I wasn't ready. But I'll tell you soon. Before the twenty-third. I promise."
"OKAY. I'll wait."
I was terrified, even though she assured me that her decision to marry me would never change. "Mas, I want this night with you all night. Can you?"
"Emm.. okay. I'm companions. Now sleep." Then he whispered fondly in the ear, "I love you so much, Nara."
