I'm Not a Wild Grass

Love Proposal (POV Laila)

Next morning..

I had breakfast with Mama Ilmaya's family.

In the beginning I refused to eat together at the table with that elite family. But because Mama Ilmaya and everything was a bit urgent, I ended up eating too.

At that time, Erlan still had not appeared.

Blushes..

My face was hot when I accidentally recalled last night. That kiss after the party between me and Erlan finally happened too.

I can't explain how I feel right now. I also don't know why, why I didn't refuse Erlan's kiss like at a party on the beach with OB colleagues first.

I wasn't drunk. Or. 'don't you think it was Erlan who was drunk?' my mind guessed.

I was so preoccupied with my own thoughts that I was unaware of Erlan's appearance. He was standing in front of the chair beside me.

I just realized Erlan's whereabouts, when she suddenly just briefly peeked at the tip of my head in front of all her family members.

I was shocked. And everyone around the table. For a while, the atmosphere became silent with a focused attention directed at Erlan.

Meanwhile, the observed duck cuek sat on his choice chair, then took the rice and side dishes to an empty plate in front of him. A foreign tone was whistled quite melodiously by the young man.

"Ecie.cie.it seems, there's a new one!" Tempting Arline who winked her eyes at me.

I who was feeling very embarrassed, hurriedly lowered my head and grabbed the empty plate that was in front of me. However, my hand lost quickly. Because Erlan suddenly just took my plate and exchanged it with the plate that was filled with food by her.

"This one is. I've already got it for you" said Erlan casually.

I am ashamed now. Where is this shameful vein of the man in front of me?

'Did she not realize that there was Mama Ilmaya, Om Gilberth and Arline at the table right now?! So ashamed!!!' my screams are in my heart.

I can only accept Erlan's sodoran plate in silence. Especially when Arline again teases me with his slap-seplos remarks.

"Geez! Singles are far away! Here again there are those who show off intimacy. Mama Papa also lost this mah!" Seloroh Arline while giggling.

"Hush! The arline! Keep your attitude. We're still at the dinner table!" Tegur Mama Ilmaya later.

I gave Mama Ilmaya a look of thanks. My mouth feels locked since the unexpected action of Erlan kissing the tip of my head earlier. Yet..

"That means that if you have finished eating, Arline can dong, Ma.. sedain prospective sister-in-law Arline again?." asked Arline while raising her eyebrows.

I was obviously getting furious with Arline's words earlier. I also tried to kick Arline's leg who was sitting across from me. But my feet could only find empty air. It seemed like Arline was bending his legs to the back of the chair he was sitting on. Or I don't know.

"Well, you can.." said Mama Ilmaya memahuti Arline speech earlier.

Straight away, my gaze shot towards Mama Ilmaya.

'How can Mama Ilmaya even tease me like Arline?!' I can only protest in silence.

With an innocent face, Mama Ilmaya even back slurping.

"Let's eat the food, baby."

"Yes, ma'am." I said briefly, still feeling awkward.

"Lho, what's mom? Call Mama now. You are like your own child" Mama Ilmaya told me.

I didn't say it and just humm slowly.

Furthermore, Mama Ilmaya spoke again.

"Mama's happy to see that crazy posture of your body, La. That's good for your future. Mama once read, if a woman with a large pelvis is easier to get a child than a smaller pelvis," said Mama Ilmaya without shading aling-aling.

Instantly, Arline's laughter broke again. While I could only stare in disbelief at Mama Ilmaya.

Om Gilberth finally neutralized the atmosphere back around the table.

"Darling.it's her mealtime. Talk about it later, yes. And Arline, stop laughing. Keep your etiquette!" reprimand Om Gilberth.

I look to thank Om Gilberth.

'Thank God there are still sane enough in this family.' My gratitude is deep in my heart.

"Lan! Already! This mostly knows!" I protested directly to Erlan.

"Add more La. let the size of your pelvis get bigger. So later, we easily make the child," the origin story.

Instantly, Arline's laughter again broke even louder. While Mama Ilmaya nodded with a smile. It seemed that he approved of the thought of his eldest son. Meanwhile, Om Gilberth chose to ignore the madness of the two children and his wife.

'Oh my! Can I not cancel my speech last night to Erlan?!' my screams are in my heart.

Flash back last night..

After kissing for quite a while, Erlan and I stared at each other in silence. Erlan then took me into her arms and again I did not reject Erlan's approach.

I even feel calm enjoying the heartbeat of Erlan who is no less fast with the pounding of my own heart.

"So, we are, aren't we, La?" Erlan asked.

For a while I didn't say anything to Erlan. So Erlan took off her embrace to be able to stare straight into my eyes.

"Laila, will you accept my feelings? You know I liked you a long time ago. And my feelings still haven't changed. I'm falling in love with you, La. I'm falling in love with you.." Erlan said seriously in front of me.

Feeling stared at so intensely, I finally lowered my head. But my chin was raised again until our eyes met again.

"Give me an answer, La. Whatever it is I'll accept. You can keep my promise. If we will always remain friends, no matter what happens," Erlan repeated his promise.

I stared at Erlan deeply. And I could feel the earnestness in the young man's eyes, for his words just now.

In the next second, I took a deep breath before finally saying.

"Hhh. I don't know, Lan. I was confused about my own feelings. To be honest, I still feel bad and the same attention news about Kiyano. That means I still have the same feeling as him?"

Erlan did not answer. He is still waiting for my next speech.

"But I can't explain either. Why can't I refuse you and all your attention. Does that mean I'm a cheap woman, huh, Lan?" Ask me to humble myself.

"No! Don't think so, La. You're the nicest special woman I've ever met" Erlan said in a hurry.

"really? You're not lying to me, are you?"

"Well, the best and also the most ignorant world, aw!"

Erlan complained over my original pinch.

"Anyways, you're a good woman, La! So don't humble yourself like that dong. I guess that's not really you."

"Keep me why dong? I'm ashamed of you Lan. I'm most anti-fake hope to the guy who likes me. Because usually I always firmly say 'no' to the guy who wants to pedekate in me. But why can't I turn to you this time?" Reveal me honestly.

Erlan smiled warmly at me. He then cupped my face with both hands. Then give me an answer that makes me think deeply.

"That's probably because you started opening your heart to me, La. That's a natural thing. Moreover, you also run out there is a problem right Kiyano?"

"Is that not a runaway, Lan? I don't want to make you my escape!" I still insist.

"Laila Darling. Call whatever feelings you are feeling right now towards me. Escape or whatever. I will accept it with pleasure. I love you very much, La. I sincerely love you.. So, please. Can you give me a chance now?"

I didn't rush Erlan's words. Erlan continued talking.

"Let me love you up close, La. let me show you that we can create happiness together. I promise, I'll take care of you more than I take care of myself. You're gonna be the second woman in my short life, La ." Erlan's promise seriously.

I frowned when I heard Erlan's last sentence.

"The second one? Who's first, Lan?" My question started to get jealous.

Erlan smiled and peeked briefly at my forehead.

"My mom La. After all, she will always be the number one woman in my life. So, I hope you will accept my love proposal.How is La?"

I silently looked at Erlan in silence. And, for a time that was not too long nor too short, I finally gave my answer to Erlan.

"Yes.I'll try it, Lan.."

Flash back done.
