Love (Not) Owned

Mortgaging Hearts

"Thank you for everything Malik, sorry for being too much trouble for you all this time, maybe this is the last time I ask you for help after this I promise I won't trouble you anymore . I'll start all over again from scratch but not from where I came from but in this city, I'm sorry to say goodbye "

"hhhh shit" said Malik in his office.

Those words that he had always remembered until now.

Since his last meeting with Shofie in Jakarta, he has not been in contact with him at all.

I haven't heard from the woman he loved in a long time. Slightly regretful of having ignored Shofie's request back then for marriage.

Malik just doesn't want them to get married not out of his own will. That was all he regretted at the time.

But now Malik is so sorry for his attitude at that time.

Lunch time has arrived. Malik immediately went out of his room and out of the office went somewhere.

Malik walked down the aisle looking at someone he knew but still hesitated so he walked a little closer to make sure.

He overheard the conversation of the man.

".....I'm ready to get married, do you still have the desire to marry me ?

....

"i'm serious, if you have time come to my mother's house this week"

Malik who heard that was really shocked. Shofie boldly asked ah more precisely to confirm it to the man she had once rejected her love for.

"Do you seriously want to marry her ?" Malik's question seemed to surprise him which he did not realize Malik had noticed him for a long time.

"It's not good to eavesdrop on people's chats" he said without first answering questions. " Why not be serious? didn't anyone say how much better it would be to marry someone who loves us would be so much better ! "

"Are you sure ?"

"Why not, he has a heart ready to accept me "

"Then your heart ? are you ready to accept him as your husband ?"

"Don't worry, it'll be my business"

Just like that Shofie left Malik who was still standing dumbstruck to hear his answer.

He never thought there were still people who could pawn his heart even though his own happiness was ignored.

"Where are you going ?" ask Mom

"So there's a little business, ma'am, sorry ma'am ?"

Malik did not know his arrival at the Hospital to pick up his mother who visited his sick friend was Shofie's mother.

Yes Malik's father came home first because it was He who finally picked up his mother.

"Dahlia, I'll go home first yes, my son is waiting outside" Susi said to Mother

"Hemm the boy has been a little difficult lately, tired he said a lot of work, if I've paid first yes, let's pack Rashid nak Shofie"

A week after the treatment, I was finally allowed to go home. This time I really need to be noticed.

Abah's been so possessive since Mom's return from the hospital. Sometimes to want to drink Abah must be the one who holds the glass. Until I feel like a big baby, all of which must be helped.

"Well, this wife of yours even though sick but still can eat your own lo, even still strong to run ! mom's nag at breakfast

"Udahlah ma'am I love you should be seneng if you pay attention to kayak gini " replied Abah who made Mother's face blush

"Ihh whatan si early in the morning uda bucin kayak children dating aja, inget age lo inget" my ledek

"Biarin, rather than singles "

"ahh Abah whatan si since when to change gini, do not mind what ngelekin his son early in the morning gini"

"Let's find a husband so you can bumin same as your husband"

"Bucin Bah bucin is not bumin" chuckles me

"Have a quick breakfast and argue" said the mother ended the debate between father and son.

After breakfast we sat in the front room of the TV.

"So when are you going to graduation ?"

"not one month ma'am "

"Assynogaic"

"Waalaikumussalam bentar ya let Shofie open "

"Hendra, come in here" take me

"Thank you"

"You actually came here ?"

"really, it's me in your house right, Shof betewe you're sure of your decision?" asked Hendra to make sure

"All I do is my mom's happy, she's a source of happiness for me, I don't know what I'm happy about if I can't be happy with her"

"hhh there's Hendra, right there's Shofie in Yogya ?" mother suddenly came forward

"nggeh ma'am, healthy mother she said yesterday in the care of ya ma'am ?"

"yes but Alhamdulillah now is good, usually sick already old, again there is work what about Hendra ?"

"Ehmmm not really bu there is no work, it is deliberately playing here "

"wow what is this Shof like I think you're feeling something?" search Mother
