Chapter 15 - Accepting Marriage

Iin was very surprised by the invitation to eat meatballs in the mosque grounds by Dafa, his shock was what left Iin in a daze for a while until he did not realize Dafa had managed to pull him up until the two had stood in front of a meatball cart that was quite crowded with buyers.

"No problem if we eat meatballs?" Ask Dafa again who managed to yank Iin from his daydream.

"Huh?"

Iin grimaced as Dafa looked at him with a deep gaze, he was caught from daydreaming to not hearing Dafa questions so clearly. Realizing his mistake, Iin immediately apologized.

"I'm sorry, I was daydreaming" I'm Iin

Dafa nodded in understanding and repeated his question "so I asked, it doesn't matter if we eat meatballs?" Ask Dafa patiently.

Iin thought for a moment, then he replied by asking Dafa "are you sure you want to eat here?"

Dafa scrunched his forehead confused, he asked Iin with his willingness to eat here, but why the girl asked him again about his willingness to eat here. Iin who was aware of the confusion of Dafa then explained the meaning of the question "I have no problem eating here, but I doubt you, you sure eat here? Seeing you born into a conglomerate family is very difficult to make me believe if you want to eat meatballs in a place like this" Iin explained.

Dafa finally understood with the intention of the question from Iin which turned out to contain a tone of concern and care for him, Dafa then chuckled and said "Not that I was born into a conglomerate family, I would eat in luxurious places forever. I am also an ordinary person who honestly prefer to eat at roadside stalls, because sometimes eating on the side of the road is better than at fancy restaurants. After all, eating at a fancy restaurant sometimes can not make me full and one more thing, I am a lover of Indonesian food let alone home cooking" explained Dafa.

"So it doesn't matter if we eat meatballs tonight?" Ask Dafa for the third time who immediately got a nod from Iin.

Iin added sambal and soy sauce to the meatball, after which he stirred it before tasting the sauce. When Iin still felt the meat was less spicy, he again added sambal in his bowl of meatballs.

Dafa who saw that felt his own horror, how could a petite girl like Iin not even feel the spiciness of sambal that had been mixed with his meat sauce. Moreover, at this time the sauce has turned very red.

"Are you sure you want to add the sauce?" Ask Dafa to Iin

"Yes"

"Meet him?" Ask Dafa again glanced at Iin worriedly.

"I like to eat spicy" Iin replied

"But not that much either, is it?" Ask Dafa to take a bowl of Iin meatballs again.

"Perhaps because it's usual well, so if eating without sambal it feels less steady" replied Iin bribed meatballs into his mouth.

"Don't be too dry, eating too much sambal is not good" Dafa warned.

As hard as Dafa warned him, Iin would definitely repeat it again. For him to eat without anything spicy it is less mature. Dafa's words tonight are only Iin consider the wind past, because he is currently eating his meat greedily and solemnly.

After the meat was finished, Iin had to wait for Dafa who was still eating his second meatball. Yes the man turned out to be very fond of meatballs, so he liked it until he added and this is his second bowl.

While Dafa was enjoying his meatballs, Iin checked his phone and found many WhatsApp notifications. The notification was mostly from a group filled with friends and friends who were still curious about the rumors that Nadi spread, the rest were only a few messages from his father and also Satria.

My Dad ❤

Where again? Arza said you went home.

Iin typed in a reply to his father's message that seemed to start worrying about him. Iin snorted annoyed with his father's attitude, his father should also worry about him when he left himself overnight at the doctor's house in front of him now at that time.

You

After sending a reply to his father, Dafa finished his meal.

"Udah?" Ask Iin

"The meat was delicious, felt the desire to go further but unfortunately the stomach was full" Dafa replied stroking his stomach slightly bulging.

"Since you've eaten, now tell me the reason why you confessed to my 'prospective husband' in front of Nadi?" Urge Iin.

Dafa sighed softly and said "I think you've forgotten" Dafa replied "Honestly I don't know why suddenly I spontaneously confessed your 'prospective husband' in front of your best friend. I was just shocked by what I said back then" Dafa replied honestly

"I wanted to explain it when I drove you to the office, but I was at a loss for what reason to my confession. That's why I chose silence and it took me hours to gather courage and sort out the right words not to hurt your feelings" added Dafa, who surprised Iin.

Iin sighed riled "You don't acknowledge that you are now scattered in a group containing my close friends and friends, Nadi spread rumors that soon I will get married because of your confession. Now how do I try to explain it?" Ask me in frustration.

"I'll explain to your friend that I'm just working on it" Dafa replied calmly.

"Tks, Nadi will not believe even if you speak honestly coupled with your flat face expression" said Iin cynically.

"You should have explained this morning, not now or tomorrow. Rumors about you and I have been spread, I am confused to answer what my friends want" added Iin berang.

"I'm sorry, my confession came out spontaneously" Dafa said in self-defense.

"Oh, I'm tired. I want to go home"

"I interceded" said Dafa firmly and then got up from the long wooden chair he was sitting on.

Iin did not say much and chose to get up from his seat and follow the steps of Dafa who was now paying their meatballs. After paying for their meatballs, Dafa stepped first and on Iin's ekori from behind. When Iin looked down at the path of the mosque yard, he suddenly hit something hard. Experiencing the same thing for quite some time ago, Iin felt Dejavu

As Iin looked up, he was surprised to realize that the hard object that beautifully made out with his forehead was the back of Dafa. Iin did not know why Dafa suddenly stopped. When Iin wanted to question this, the man first turned around and made Iin almost toppled back in surprise.

"Why you?" Ask me worried.

"Can't we just accept that match?" Ask Dafa with a flat face, but if you can be honest at this time he is very nervous.

"Huh?"

"Why are you why?" Iin asked confused.

Indeed, Iin was still angry with the recognition of Dafa who claimed himself as a 'prospective husband' - he was also very tired and needed a break at this time to rest his physical and mental. Then now Dafa strangely suddenly asked why they did not accept the arranged marriage that his father and Dafa's parents had planned! of course Iin was still considering it and had yet to find an answer.

"I think I would have accepted this match if it was you" I was Dafa who made Iin very surprised.
