Rahardian POV
Two days ago I was just told that Melan was going to make an official proposal. After a few days before I had heard that someone had come to his house to preach, none other than Kayra's cousin, Silang Gilang.
At first I had no plans, only I had bought a gold necklace by ordering a pendant in the name of both of our initials, from my first salary to work. Even if I don't know yet, when is the right moment to give it.
The morning before Melan's application, I deliberately came to her house early in the morning. Because Kayra will be home.
For some reason, I still like doing my old habits. That is watching the girl from the second floor balcony of Melan's house. From there I can catch all the moves of the girl of my dreams. When he was on the lower terrace or on the second floor balcony.
There I finished a little bit of work that I had to give up this afternoon. Because it is urgent, so that Sunday remains in lunge.
When I opened the laptop I just realized, there was a record of Kayra's birthday appearing there. I don't know since when I kept it, I even forgot. Because in previous years the notification didn't make me do anything. Except bowing your head for a moment while raising your hand, calling it in prayer. Just that extent.
I was planning to propose to Kayra. I don't know what makes me feel good about doing it. I went home to see Abi and Ummi. Suddenly my courage just appeared to ask permission to abi and ummi.
"abi, ummi, can talk for a while" I said and contact them to stop their respective activities.
"why tumben, what's wrong? " ask abi.
Then we sat three.
"abi, ummi, as long as Dian never asks for anything excessive right. Especially about the facilities" I said stopped.
"yes, what's wrong. What do you want to buy? " ask ummi.
"no ummi, Dian didn't ask about money. Thank God now Dian has worked and enough with the money. But Dian has one request and Dian begs very much, do not be inhibited"
"ask what, just say it" Abi said.
"Dian wants to propose to Kayra bi, ummi"
"what??????? " until Ummi shouted loudly and stood up. I know, this is gonna happen to ummi. I am also ready to face.
So Abi pulled Ummi's hand to sit back.
"ummi please shut up, let abi do the talking" abi warned ummi.
"but bi, can't. However I am his mother" said Ummi with a high tone.
"Ummi enough! Let abi speak" suddenly Ummi silent because of the clash of abi.
"Are you sure of your choice?
If yes, do it. Whatever it is that you feel good about and makes you happy, abi ridho"
Just finished abi finished talking, ummi immediately stood up "abi, outrageous".
Then leave us.
I stared at Ummi's departure with a sad feeling. Ummi doesn't understand me yet.
"don't think too much about ummi. That's abi's business. Do what you think is best"
connect abi.
"if Dian wants to propose later, when Melan's engagement is over, how is abi? " i asked abi for consideration.
"later? isn't that too fast? we haven't come to see Kayra's parents"
"later tonight we go to Kayra's house, can we?
Her application was just a surprise bi, because Kayra's birthday is today" I explained to abi.
"well then, do it. Let abi talk to ummi" abi does understand me better than ummi.
Hopefully, Abi managed to give understanding to ummi. Even if I am not the one who is trying to ask for the blessing of the ummi, the most important thing is to give the blessing at the end.
Long enough I waited, Kayra finally came too.
Makes me more excited to do my job.
While occasionally stealing glances, if it happens to look 😄
I sent a few messages, but they haven't been read yet. Maybe because he still misses his family.
Moreover, many of Kayra's brothers who came, especially her cousin's family who will propose to Melan.
I just keep getting my work done fast. Because then I'll buy the ring first before going to the office. Actually I could have sent by e_mail. But so there's a reason to get out.
Ekhm, I am now in a scene that refreshes the eyes. I could see Kayra clearly. Because he's on the second floor balcony. Unfortunately Kayra with Gilang. Pack event hug all. Kiss Gilang's cheek, so imagine that I'm there.
Jealousy is not in its place.
It seems like they are talking about something serious. To the extent that Kayra did not look towards me at all.
My work is done, I'll leave Melan's balcony. Go back home and go to the office. I've been so excited. Imagining applying for Kayra, makes me happy raising a few levels. Very happy very very happy. Finally, my prayers all along will be answered as well.
Even I was so sure that Kayra would accept my proposal. Not a PD snobs yes, but indeed our relationship has improved since my openness to me. Especially after Johan stepped away, I really felt at the peak of victory.
May You be pleased, O God, and give smoothness. My prayer in my heart.
I go on a butut bike that has been my loyal friend wherever I go, since Junior High. I already love him too much. Even if many friends call me, I remain unaffected. It's been too far, baby.
Abi often offered to buy me a new one. He even offered me to buy a car. But I don't think it's necessary yet. It's just that sometimes, sometimes I use my brother's motorcycle when he's at home.
Because the plan was so sudden, I don't even know Kayra's circumference.
As soon as I got to the jewelry store, I just kept turning my brain.
Until the end of it comes the thought of asking Nahla. But I don't have her phone number.
I was forced to ask Johan for Nahla's phone number.
I was angry with Johan, not that I forgave him. But the name 'former friends' does not exist, right? So a little bit I still respect him. Not as close as before.
That's Nahla's phone number I got, I called her right away.
But he didn't tell me right away. Except ask here first. Be I tell her my impromptu plan. Only then did I get what I wanted.
Huh, you fucking girl. Many ask, can not be as simple as a guy!
But it's okay, Nahla is very supportive. And that's another plus point for my plan.
I have been sharing my views a few times. I finally found the right model as well as the right size. Finally.. can too!
Because it was too long at the jewelry store so I decided to go straight home. Because I still have plans to stop by the florist shop.
But before I looked for a seat I used to send an e_mail.
I still have time to find a store that sells jewelry boxes. Because at the jewelry store there was no ring box that fit.
It feels like a struggle, but it's okay. I'm four-five spirit to get all that stuff. For the dream that is in sight.
Exactly adzan dhuhur I arrived home. Finally, relief too. Hopefully it goes according to plan. Though Melan had an event, but I just attacked.
But I told Melan about my plan. He allows, even he is very supportive. I got an extra point plus.
Now it is my turn to fulfill the call of the dhuhur Adhan. Because God is giving me my prayer.
