Geck! Geck! Geck!
Fariz knocked on Aurel's room door.
"Just a second!" Aurel came to the door and turned the key.
"Sister Fariz, what's wrong?" ask Aurel. Aurel did not let Fariz in and held the door.
"We talk outside .. if you don't feel comfortable" Fariz said. Fariz took Aurel for a walk to the park behind the compound. Arriving at the park, they sat on one of the park benches.
"What do you want to talk about?" ask Aurel.
"On marriage" said Fariz. Fariz was a little hesitant to talk about it with Aurel. But he still has to talk about it.
"That's ... Aurel feels too fast. Brother should talk about it again with Aunt Melly," Aurel said, looking down. He stared at his feet because he did not dare to look at Fariz. Aurel was afraid that his words would make Fariz hurt or offended and angry. Fariz is the only one who gives meaning to love other than family. Fariz is the one he now loves, he does not want to hurt his heart.
"We married as our mother wished. Brother can't go against the wishes of the parents. Let's just ask my mom to marry us religiously. No need to publish or party, later we will tell the wider community after you are sure," said Fariz gave an idea.
"But ... Aurel's scared, brother. Aurel is not ready to get married. Aurel apologizes," said Aurel bowed. Aurel breathed heavily.
"I'll make Mama come home soon to Malang. But after we got married. And we can stay like this, stay as usual. In their rooms as now. Aurel wants to, right, marry Big Brother?" ask Fariz. Fariz looked at Aurel's face expectantly. Fariz wanted to be by Aurel's side, accompanying him as he grieved and laughed.
Fariz wanted to protect Aurel from everything that could hurt him. Fariz didn't want to be away from Aurel for a second either.
Aurel was still confused and could not answer. Aurel's feelings for Fariz have not gone that deep, though Aurel realizes he does love Fariz but they haven't even dated. Then, how they got married so quickly and later they separated because they did not know more about each other. But Aurel tried to live it.
"Sister Fariz, Aurel knew marriage was not an experiment. But ... Can we if we try to live it like that? It felt like, we .. played with marriage," Aurel said.
"Nothing, I won't touch you before you feel sure about our marriage. I will also respect your decision if we are to part ways later. I just can't disappoint Mama. But, if you don't want to, it's okay. Mama and I are leaving tomorrow" Fariz said.
Fariz got up and walked away from Aurel. After a few steps, Fariz stopped. He stopped because of Aurel's words.
Fariz smiled, and Aurel agreed to get married. Aurel can't see if Fariz is just pretending. If Fariz becomes an actor, then he will be the winner of the best acting nomination and also the best actor. Before turning around, Fariz stopped smiling and put on a serious face again.
"really? Seriously, you want to marry me?" ask Fariz.
"Yes, let's get married. And dating after that, so we can get to know each other better. Remember the promise of Brother! Don't .. do ...." Aurel could not say the next word.
"Do what?" fariz asked while holding his smile.
"Do .. do .. do not know, ah. Aurel wants to go home" Aurel said as he walked past Fariz. While passing through Fariz, Aurel's hand is blocked by Fariz.
"You can keep my promise, I won't do it without your permission" Fariz said.
Aurel smiled and approached Fariz. He hugged Fariz.
"Thank you" Aurel said in Fariz's arms.
Fariz returned Aurel's embrace tightly. Both of them smiled happily. Aurel let go of his embrace and took a step back. Fariz pulled Aurel's waist and held his nape. Then Fariz kissed Aurel's thin lips gently. Aurel pushed Fariz but Aurel was silent. He closed his eyes and replied to Fariz's red lips. No smell of cigarettes on Fariz's lips.
Aurel turned her face away and ended their kiss. Aurel lowered her face, her face flushed red. Fariz smiled looking at Aurel who met red after they kissed. Fariz kissed Aurel's forehead and hugged him again.
"Lumayan" said Fariz.
"What?" aurel asked in Fariz's arms.
"his kiss. It's kind of exciting for me" Fariz said, smiling at Aurel. Fariz managed to get the pinch reward on his waist.
"Aw, that's so bad, baby. If you are married, this can be in the KDRT category," Fariz said.
"Biarin, the end of the mischievous Fariz Brother, huh," Aurel said as he ran away leaving Fariz still smiling at Aurel. Fariz stepped away following Aurel who was already far away running towards the house.
