Love Sheila

The Struggle That Fruits Sweet

"You want to go home or you want to stop by somewhere?" asked Ken who was driving his car to drive Santi home.

"Mas Ken wants a show?" Santi asked back.

"No. Precisely because there is no event so Mas nanya you. You want to stop by where you used to. Mumpung not very late in the afternoon, too," replied Ken.

"Well, what about the city park?" tawar Santi's.

"Well, maybe even. I rarely go to the city park. Okay, we'll stop by the city park first huh," Ken replied enthusiastically.

Santi nodded his head while smiling at Ken's enthusiasm. Soon after, Ken's car was parked in the parking area of the city park. Ken and Santi got out of the car. The two then go hand in hand.

The atmosphere of the park is currently quite crowded. Many young couples seem to be spending time together. Many parents also accompany their children to play. The sound of children so boisterous, playing and also chasing, seems very happy.

"Waw, it's always this crowded huh?" ask Ken amazed.

"Maybe it's a holiday. Usually the most crowded even at night," replied Santi.

"You come here often San?"

"Not too often. Most if it's saturated and just for aja, well itung-itung nge-refresh the mind."

"Who's here?" ask Ken again.

"alone. Who else is the same," replied Santi while chuckling softly.

Ken captures the sadness in Santi's words, which seem to say that he is alone in this world.

"Someone sells ice cream, we buy ice cream yuk," asked Ken to divert attention.

Santi smiled as he nodded. The two then walked towards the ice cream vendor.

"Es cream two yes sir, one stove one vanilla," Ken's message to the father of the ice cream seller.

"Please mas" said the ice cream vendor, handing over two ice cream cones to Ken.

Ken receives the ice cream and pays for it with a red sheet of money.

"The return is for me" said Ken sincerely.

"Alhamdulillaah, thank you very much. May the recovery smoothly and last the same mbaknya mas," do'a father of ice cream sellers.

"Aamiinu. Both sir, thank you for your prayers, too" said Ken smiling sumringah.

While Santi slightly blushed to hear the do'a father of the ice cream seller earlier. Ken then said goodbye to the ice cream vendor and invited Santi to sit in one of the empty garden chairs. Give Santi strawberry-flavored ice cream and that vanilla flavor for himself.

"Why do you know that I like strawberries? Don't tell me just the origin of Nebak?" santi asked while enjoying her ice cream.

"Yes no, cook from nebak doang," replied Ken while chuckling. "Mas knows because he's trying to figure out everything about you. What you like, what you don't like. I want the best for you anyway."

Ken's words again made Santi blush. The two then finished their ice cream with an awkward silent atmosphere. Ken deliberately left a mark of ice cream next to his lips.

Santi who also finished eating ice cream then saw the corner of Ken's lips were smudged. Santi's reflex took out his handkerchief and rubbed the ice cream on the corner of Ken's lips.

"Mas ihh, cook eat ice cream belepotan gini, like a child deh," Santi said half grumbling.

"Will be cleansed with you" replied Ken lightly.

"What the hell Mas," said Santi again blushed with a red blushing face.

Santi was about to keep his hand away from Ken's lips, but Ken swiftly grasped Santi's hand first.

"It still can't Mas convince your heart San?" ken asked seriously.

Santi suddenly felt nervous. Their eyes locked on each other.

"Mas loves you San. This feeling is sincere to you. Please allow Mas to make you happy" Ken once again revealed his heart.

Seeing Santi who was nervous and misbehaved, Ken also realized. He then smiled faintly.

"I'm sorry, it's not Mas's intention to force you to answer immediately. As promised by Mas, Mas will patiently wait for you and Mas will prove the seriousness of Mas's feelings with you," said Ken then release his hand on Santi's hand.

But unexpectedly, it turns out that Santi just grabbed Ken's hand and then grasped it. I gathered the courage to answer.

"Will Mas accompany me, to try to start opening this heart again?" santi asked quietly, looking doubtful.

"Surely," Ken replied confidently with a smile on his lips.

"So ???" ken did not dare to conclude.

"We go slowly, Mas. I hope Mas patiently accompanies me, to try again to open this heart with our new relationship" replied Santi with a request.

A smile was immediately painted on Ken's face.

"of course. Mas will always patiently accompany you, and Mas will prove that Mas really loves you and wants to always make you happy San."

So happy Ken involuntarily pulled Santi into his arms. For a moment Santi was shocked, but then let Ken hold her. It was so much love Ken gave through his arms.

Santi smiled in Ken's arms.

"So dear to you too, Ken."

Ken immediately took off his embrace and looked at Santi's face with a shocked look, trying to find the truth for what he had just heard.

"What did you say San?" ask Ken to make sure.

Santi smiled gently.

"Santi also love Mas Ken," repeated Santi.

Ken smiled wider and then pulled Santi back into his arms. Ken even kissed Santi's head a few times so happy. Meanwhile, Santi, though initially timid, finally returned Ken's embrace as well.

Santi smiles and gives thanks in his heart, getting so much affection from Ken, even from the Ken family as well. Santi also prayed in his heart, may his decision this time not be wrong, and may Ken indeed be the right man God has chosen for him.

"Ekhem,,,"

Deheman violently pulls someone to force Ken and Santi to let go of their embrace. Ken and Santi turned their heads toward the origin of the sound. And to their surprise they saw Steven and Sheila standing beside them.

"Stevens? Sheila's? How come you guys are here?" ask Ken curiously.

"Sir Steven, Ms. Sheila," said Santi awkwardly with a face flushed with embarrassment.

"Hi Mbak Santi," Sheila replied with a smile.

"Hmm, is there anything official?" goda Steven makes Ken and Santi more and more misbehavior.

"Damn Lo," said Ken after overcoming his nervousness.

Ken then stood up from his seat.

"Sit Shei, pity that Lo has to stand for too long" said Ken, inviting Sheila to sit down.

"Thank you Ken," Sheila replied and sat down next to Santi.

"Mother how are you? Is it healthy, Mom?" santi asked, trying to shift her nervousness.

"Alhamdulillaah is healthy Ma'am," Sheila replied as she clasped Santi's hand.

"So? Is it really you?" sheila asked by looking at Santi and Ken in turn.

Ken scratched his non-itchy nape, while Santi could only duck in embarrassment.

"Yes, you could say that's how Shei is," Ken replied still a little nervous.

"Congratulations to you both. May your relationship be guided by Allah SWT to the level of marriage later," do'a Sheila sincerely.

"Aamiin," retorted Steven and Ken compactly, while Santi was still timid.

"Congratulation Bro. Finally, Lo's struggle succeeded to convince Santi, too," Steven said, patting Ken on the shoulder.

"Thanks Bro's. Thanks for the prayer, Shei, too" Ken replied.

Sheila smiled gently and nodded her head.

"Congratulations Santi" Sheila said, clutching her hand at Santi.

Santi looked up and looked at Sheila, still a little embarrassed.

"Thank you Mom," Santi replied quietly.

"Together" said Sheila.

"By the way, how come you guys can be here too?" ken asked, still curious.

"Obviously, pregnant women want to eat pickled subscriptions here. Yes, we are walking, the weather is also bright. And it just so happens that we're even mergokin y'all hugging again. Pake the show kiss-blown everything again, Lo mode," sneered Steven.

Ken and Santi again misbehaved, embarrassed also their friendly scene was caught red-handed by Steven and Sheila.

"I think I'm really hockey, Danny used to be dating with Lucia again, and now, you two are dating too" Steven said then chuckled.

"What the hell Lo Steve. Don't worry," joked Ken.

"Truly weh, I'm not lying," said Steven then chuckled louder.

"Mas, dong. Look at Santi's mother is so red in her face" Sheila said.

"Yes yes. Sorry for my release" Steven said.

"But really, we're going along for you two. May it last until the wedding later," Steven also prayed for Ken and Santi.

"Aamiin," replied Ken, Sheila, and Santi, though his voice was very small.
