Lay With The Devil's

Diamond Ring

I don't know why it's so different tonight. Why does it feel like I'm so stupid, it took me this long to realize...

"So... Will you stop looking at me?",

"No", though",

"Why not?",

"Because I deserve. I have eyes and I'll use them well...",

Sarah was really embarrassed.

A waitress is coming. Sarah felt saved.

They started ordering food.

°°°

Jaka ordered tenderloin mozzarella, cream soup and black coffee. Sarah ordered a beef teriyaki potato and lemon water. Sarah is hungry. And he will not be ashamed in front of that man...

They had dinner there on the advice of Paul. He said this place is perfect.

"So... Why did you ask me to eat in such a good place?", asked Sarah curiously. Usually they don't have dinner in this fancy place.

"Because it's a special night? Is there a reason?", Jaka investigated.

"of course... ",A,

"alright. I was planning on proposing to you", though...",

Of course Sarah was shocked to hear Jaka's very outspoken answer.

"What father? Don't joke, sir.", though...",

"I don't like to joke about important things like that, Sarah.", explains Jaka.

The man then got up and knelt beside Sarah's chair. He reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a blue box. Sure, he opened the box. A diamond ring looks so beautiful there.

"Sarah Ayuasmara's... Will you be my wife?",

Sarah shut her mouth. She's shocked.

"Sir... Wake up. People are looking towards us. Aren't you ashamed?", Sarah tried to make Jaka rise.

But Jaka shook his head.

"I'll stand up after hearing your answer",

Sarah had to feel what. He was happy and scared at the same time.

Sarah nodded.

"Okeee.", Sarah answered slowly. Very slow. He glanced around her.

That was all he could do for Jaka to stand up.

Jaka who saw Sarah's nod then stood up and grabbed Sarah's hand. He took the diamond ring and put it on Sarah's ring finger.

Sarah still can't believe it. I'm not sure what happened tonight. Jaka peeked at the back of his hand.

"I want to take you to a proper place" Jaka whispered. He called waitress and gave her a credit card.

After receiving her credit card back, Jaka clasped Sarah's hand and invited her to leave the place. There is one more surprise that Jaka has prepared for Sarah tonight.

°°°

"Did I make a mistake?", asked Jaka to the woman he had just applied for.

The question succeeded in making Sarah's eyes turn to him. Sarah flicked her hair that was blown by the beach breeze. Yes, now they are on the beach they visited yesterday. The difference is, there are many bamboo torches lined up neatly there. Then there was a long sofa covered in white cloth.

"What is this, sir?", asked Sarah still somewhat confused.

"You really accepted my proposal, right?", Jaka made sure.

"A..i dream? Tell me it's a dream.it's too beautiful if it turns out to be true.", Sarah tried to hold back her tears.

This guy...really?? A man so tall, that I can only see from a distance... Is it true that he asked me to be his wife?

"You don't dream, honey... I'm the one who dreams, so that I can get a woman as beautiful as you.", Jaka grabbed Sarah's hand and took her to the beach.

"Why now?",

"Because my father and mother probably approved... They never were so with any woman. Including my ex-wife... Don't you like it?",

Jaka looks at Sarah. Unexpectedly, Sarah slammed into Jaka's arms and cried.

"I dreamt of it... I guess I'm the only one who has to keep this feeling alone...",

Jaka returned the hug.

"I'm sorry for taking too long to realize that you're the one... I was too afraid to lose... Because of that loss, it hurts... Please promise me one thing",

"Whatis that? Promise?", man?",

"Don't leave me...",

Jaka grabbed Sarah's face. He put a kiss on Sarah's lips. Long enough they kissed until Jaka finally lifted Sarah's body to the sofa there.

The kiss continued. Even Jaka was more intense.

"Sir... ", sarah wants to stop. Jaka was very excited.

"Don't stop. I." Jaka whispered.

Sarah smile. He was half lying on the sofa. Jaka's hands began to venture into her dress. Sarah's hand held him.

"Someone will see, sir... Stop...",

"I don't care... You're my future wife...",

"Heeemmm...really?", Sarah said. Jaka let go of his kiss, he looked at Sarah's confused eyes.

"Yes. You're my future wife... Do you want to get married tonight? Mrs. Sanjaya?", though?",

Sarah's face flushed. He did not expect to bear the surname Sanjaya.

Jaka pulled the woman into his arms. It seems like he wanted it for a long time. It felt like his life had been empty for a long time. Tonight, he felt the emptiness begin to fill. I just wish I could take care of that woman forever...

°°°

Mr and Mrs Sanjaya were sitting in the living room alone. Mrs. Sanjaya looks confused by her husband's explanation.

"What is this father talking about? What business? Your business is only in the field of antiques.. and cars that run Kirana.", Ibu Ningsih more confused with the complicated explanation of Mr. Ismail. Because Mr. Ismail himself never told this one business problem, because he did not manage to run it.

"Father once planted a stake in one of the coal companies in Kalimantan...",

"What's? That's a long way, sir...",

"Look... Everything is not as smooth as we want. So we broke the partnership",

"Well what's the problem... It's done, right... Yes, it's forgotten...",

"The man still hasn't returned the money. And you have his asset papers. You do not want people who deceive the father, free to go through the business without the father of the lesson...",

"Oh my gosh the father... Then why say the same mother now? what's purpose?",

"Jaka, Mum... You think he's been tricked...".
