I'm Not a Wild Grass

Applying Plan Laila (POV Erlan)

In three weeks, Arline will have his wedding reception with Colonel Amir. Since this week, my twin sister has always teased me with her wedding. He also commented on my relationship with Laila, which he said was stagnant.

It's true ignorant, my twin sister. Though without being compared to him, I have planned to propose Laila in the near future.

It just so happens next week Mama's birthday. So I reasoned to Laila to take her to the mall and buy a birthday present for Mama. In fact, I had prepared a special surprise for Laila.

So, the plan, this afternoon I'll take Laila to the mall. Then I'll take her to a five-star restaurant. At the restaurant was my special surprise for Laila I had prepared. Where I'm going to propose to Laila to be my wife.

Actually deep in my heart, there are still doubts to propose to Laila. I'm afraid this marriage proposal is too soon for me to convey. Remembering Laila's feelings for Kiyano is still a scourge in our relationship.

But I tried to shake off that pessimism. Because I was also convinced that Laila was beginning to have feelings of love for me. I can feel it in every attitude we have when we are together.

***

At last, about two in the afternoon I went to Laila's house. I was surprised because I found Mama Mutia, whose mother Laila was at home. He usually works until five in the afternoon.

As a result, I decided to talk first with Mama Mutia. I wish I could add plus points in Mama Laila's eyes. So that when tomorrow or tonight Laila tells me about my proposal, Mama Mutia will immediately approve our relationship.

Throughout the afternoon, I continued to chatter about many things. While Mama Mutia occasionally commented and asked about something. What astonished me a little was that Laila was a bit more quiet throughout the afternoon.

I even found Laila who was daydreaming a lot when I suddenly asked her.

I thought, Laila might be M. Alias is on her period.

Then, around four o'clock, Laila and I gave Mama Mutia permission to go to the mall.

"What's wrong with you, honey? Not feeling well anymore?" I asked Laila, who was silent all the way to the mall.

"uh? Notwithstanding. It's not okay. Sorry yeah. I'm a little tired because I was done rubbing a lot of clothes," Ella explained.

"Ooh. Kirain you're sick. If it hurts, it's okay if we don't go to the mall."

In my heart, I obviously hoped for the opposite. I hope Laila still wants to continue with our plans today, so I can succeed in giving a surprise application for her tonight.

'It's a pity that her Laila suddenly made it home.' My mind monologued in silence.

Laila glanced at me and rewarded me with a small smile.

Deg. Deg.

Deg.

My heart feels like it's breaking every time I receive Laila's smile. I don't know what the woman did that made me bucin se bucinnya in the sweet woman.

"AWAS, Lan!"

I gasped in shock and refocused my attention on the streets, when I heard Laila's shocking warning.

"That was you almost hit a cat. Thankfully it's not to."

"Ooh. sorry-sorry. I'm a little shrewd because look at you anyway, La. You are so beautiful today!" I praise Laila sincerely.

I had expected that Laila would comment negatively, for my compliments on her. But after some time passed, Laila turned out to remain silent and daydream again.

I frowned, trying to figure out the cause of Laila so often failed to focus as long as I met her this afternoon. Finally, I asked Laila again.

"What the hell are you, La? Really, Honey. If you don't feel OK, we can cancel hunting for the prize."

And Laila also realized when I turned her cheeks slowly.

"Mm.no Lan. Don't have. We go to the mall. After all, when else would you buy the gift if not today? Mama Ilmaya's birthday is next week. I'd like to buy a present for Arline anyway.."

"OKs. Ready Mr. Princess. We're sliding into the mall!"

And the journey to the mall we continued. Until finally we arrived also in the largest mall in the city of B was around five in the afternoon.we were busy hunting gifts until through Maghrib.

After taking a short break at the mosque in the mall, I also invited Laila to eat at the restaurant that I had prepared my application there.

"We'll eat yuk first, La. Before returning. My stomach is hungry." I begged Laila.

"Yes. But after eating, we go straight home, Lan?" Pinta Laila lethargic.

I'm a little worried that my application moment tonight happened at an inopportune time. Because I observed Laila was too quiet all afternoon.

"Okay, Princess Laila. As you ordered.."

I fed Laila a laugh. But my little laugh was not as welcoming as I had hoped. Because Laila just gave me a little smile.

But again I was far from pessimistic about it. I also pray a lot that my application event at the restaurant will end successfully.

***

So, actually my application event is fairly simple anyway.

The plan is, I'll slip a ring in Laila's drink later. Then after Laila finds the ring, I'll pass on my proposal to her. Simple, isn't it?

As soon as I got to the restaurant, I took Laila to sit in the chair I had ordered her to. I asked for a table in the corner near the window. So we can see the scenery of city B sparkling and beautiful enchanting.

As soon as I finished eating, I looked forward to the moment when Laila found the ring in the orange juice she was drinking. I even deliberately drank Laila's orange juice, because I saw Laila just a little bit of juice. So that the glass is still half filled with orange juice.

But, before Laila found my surprise ring in her glass, I was startled by Laila's sudden statement.

Laila suddenly said, "Lan, I think we should just break up!"
