Love Because ...

Love Because ...
18. would you marry me



“He rejected my proposal.” said Bagas sadly. Tia is shocked to hear Bagas propose to Rara. “She returned the ring I gave her.” They were talking in Tia's office.


“What's the reason?”


“She already thinks of you as her brother, she is afraid if she accepts my proposal, she will hurt you.”


“What do you mean?” tia asked astonished.


“Bu Sriyantika will pursue you more often to get married, and force you to marry someone you do not love. Actually he did not refuse, he just told me to be more patient until you can find a life partner that you love.”


“That's serious?” tia asked in shock.


Bagas nodded in agreement, Tia could not believe what Bagas said. Rara's attention was so great to her that she delayed her proposal.

“Ra where to go?” said Tia who saw it was neat using a pink shirt.


“Mau the same way Ayu.” obviously Rara relaxed.


“Udah permission is not the same mamih?”


“Udah.”


“Gue tagged!”


“It's serious ato kidding?”


“Ya seriously lah!”


“Tumben want to join, our activities are bosenin loh!”


“No papa, I'm at home.” Tia.


Ayu comes to pick up Rara and Tia, the three of them go for a walk to the mall looking for evening culinary. After that they went to the intersection of five Semarang. Rara and Ayuk were busy grinding a bicycle splice decorated with a beautiful colorful meter lamp, while Tia was busy fiddling with her phone sitting on the bench.


“Mbak is slow!!!” said Ayu laughing. Rara ignored Ayuk, she laughed continuously rubbing her bike quickly. They play bicycle like children.


“Adudakudu mbak, fall iki fall iki, AAAA.” shouted Ayu. Instantly Rara braked her bike suddenly, she laughed amusedly at the frightened Ayu.


“Mbak ki ojo guyon toh.”(mbak ru don't joke dong) Protest Ayu.


“Sorry sorry sorry.” said Rara, ayu breathing gasps of fatigue.


“Capek?” rara asked, Ayu nodded.


“Ya wes we rest first yes we samperi mbak Tia.”


“Come, mbak Tia ki why did you want (from earlier) she diem wae?” tanya Ayu looked towards Tia.


“Do not know, tired of times! come.”


“Eh I saw! Ma'am Tia daydreaming, we kagetin de’e (he) yuk, from behind.” Rara nodded in agreement. Rara and Ayu slowly walked silently towards Tia, arriving at the back of the chair, Rara and Ayu got ready to startle her.


“DARRRR!!” they shouted excitedly, Tia was startled to hold her chest.


“What the hell are you two, shocked to know?” grouse Tia.


Rara and Ayu cry out to Tia, Rara sits beside Tia.


“Buy buyin siomay, the contents I want dumplings two, know the meat two ,potato, cauliflower the same egg, sambel nut is separated yes, in java mall there. There is my favorite siomay you also buy if you want this money.” Tia took out her wallet and gave her a red money sheet. Ayu who was about to sit down did not so because Tia told her to buy snacks.


“Mbak ki ruh ato ngerjain, why ga here just buy it.” protest sewot.


“Yang here is not good, yes yes plis.” persuade Tia.


“Mbak Rara kancani.” whine Ayu to Rara.


“Eh no! Rara nemenin me, there is something I need to talk about this important problem, future problems.”


“Say I want to be cemented mbak’e, afraid tho here alone?”


“Yes yes, cepet nih hungry me.”


“Enggeh princess solo.” candanya Ayu on Tia, Ayu cross walk towards Java mall.


“Ra?”


“Ya?”


“Where is the relationship loe equals Bagas?”


“Mmmm ba-i.”


“Loe likes her?”


“Suka.”


“Love?” ask Tia again.


“I-ya anyway. This why the hell?” Rara guessed there was something strange about Tia's attitude.


“No, just wanted to know ja.”


“Owh kirain what?” rara said casually.


“Kirain I nanyain reason why you refuse Bagas application?”


Rara was shocked to hear Tia's words, knowing where she thought.


“Denger yes ra before I know loe, I have been often diuber-uber mamih for marriage. This is all I want, not the same relationship elo.”


“But right..”


“Gue disappointed, you postpone your application with Bagas just because of me, I know you care about me, but not how to understand?”


“Tia?” Rara tries to interrupt, but Tia doesn't give her a chance.


“Ra, I've told you, as long as your memory has not returned loe so my responsibility, so even after loe marriage loe tetep so my sister, and if you've returned his memory, then, loe tetep sodara I.” Rara was moved by Tia's words, she hugged Tia.


That's the thing that she was most afraid of all this time, Rara was afraid of losing the affection of the family who had been taking care of her. She was already very comfortable with the Tia family, akh for her she could lose love but could not lose the warmth of a family.


“Ti, I'm lucky dapet sodara rich elo?” said Rara haru.


“Gue lucky ra.” said Tia patted her shoulder.


“Walaikumussalam.” Rara looked at Tia, Tia told her to sit back down.


“Assalamualaikum, uh there's the handsome.” out Ayu with his new voice back. “ Mas handsome want siomai?” bargain Ayu pecilan, Tia stood pulling Ayu's hand.


“Ikut I yu we ate there!” said Tia while pulling Ayu away from Rara and Bagas.


“Lho mbak siomanya mbak Rara.”


“Udah make elo aja, we watch from there.”


“What watch?”


“Korea drama! Come join aja.” he dragged Ayu's hand.


“Mbak how the hell? kok ngebiarin they both tho, aunt Sri tau scolded later.”


“Alah just jerk, do misunderstandings only later we go back there.” Tia said relax.


Ayu was immediately invited to a bench not far about ten meters from Rara's whereabouts. Bagas sitting next to Rara made it wrong to see Bagas who suddenly came.


“Kok know I'm here?” ask Rara wonder


Bagas smiled regardless of Rara's question, he immediately reached into the small beautiful red jewelry box from his pocket.


“This is the second time, I will never give up to you, will you marry me?”


Bagas opens his ring box, which still contains the same ring that Rara returned.


Rara was silent, her tears fell crying. The person she loves is so patient with her, and she is grateful for what happened to her. He felt lucky that so many good people loved him.


“ I do.” replied Rara, they laughed happily Rara took the ring from Bagas.


Not far from there Ayu and Tia were moved to see the incident.


“Mauuu.” whine Ayu on spoiled Tia.


“Ya loe tell aja loe girlfriend ngelamar loe” said Tia casually eat siomanya.

“Emoh I'm scared. Fear of being rejected aaakkkhh.” whining.


Tia laughed at her employees.

Every now and then she looked at her tiny right hand, more precisely at her ring finger. There was a ring Bagas gave, a smile on his face was plugged several times.
