Friday passed quickly, and it was no longer afternoon. Hasna felt time was like running at full speed to end the week.
Said everyone who will undergo the marriage period will experience turmoil and guidance. That is not the main reason because he just knew Reza but people who have been dating for a long time were many who then broke up before the wedding plan.
Last night Hasna had no power to ask much about her wife Reza Mitha, seeing the gaze of her eyes and the sadness that emanated made her powerless to ask much.
Confused about asking where and afraid to hear Reza's answer. They ate without talking about anything.
“Before going home we need to talk first” Reza sighed
“Now is the last time that can be used before Saturday we go further”
“You're okay to go home a little night?” reza said while looking at his watch
Hasna shook her head, at least they could talk about a lot of things before making a big decision in life.
“We move to the front cafe, there is more comfortable to use chat” Reza moved from his chair.
Hasna just followed from behind, in her head designed the various questions she wanted to express.
It turns out that in front of the restaurant there is a beautiful small cafe, there are several pairs of people in it but not too full.
“We look for a non smoking room so that you are comfortable” said Reza, he circulated the view to find a comfortable place
“There is good wealth sir is not too crowded” said Hasna pointed to a place that is somewhat at the end but still near the door.
“Bby.. You want to drink whatever I order now” said Reza while moving to the pantry area
“Hot chocolate alone pak” is not imagined by Hasna if drinking coffee at this time, can be literate until morning.
Hasna remembers when she went to college to go to the cafe to do chores with her friends, drinking at most only 2 cups of coffee and chocolate but could stay there for hours. Students want to be cheap but comfortable.
“I have not been to the cafe at night Pak used to usually if there is a group task, like to gather with friends. How it feels so long ago well rich 10 years ago when it was only 2 years ago at most” said Hasna when Reza approached and sat next to him.
“Never been to the same cafe girlfriend?” ask Reza
“Gak never had a boyfriend sir.. hehehe usually ask the same friends at least three lah” Hasna thought to remember his friend who used to be close to him.
“Indeed no want or no one to get close?” Reza smiled
“Hmmm.. if you can like a lot sir but I am not too interested in having a girlfriend, happy to be friends, if you have a girlfriend so rich limited in friends, can not be this same, just like this, can't go there if it's alone. Kak Angga aja has a lot of prohibitions ehhh this later plus the same girlfriend.gak deh” Hasna shook her head.
“You are happy to be friends with many people apparently” Reza smiled seeing Hasna
“Yes my friend a lot of men, easier to be friends with men not easy baper sir, can be teased, my male friends say I am a person cool ga ribet. Just his brother aja fierce.heheheheh they like to be scolded by Kak Angga because” Hasna laughed considering his friends used to like to be scolded for being late to deliver Hasna home.
Reza smiled at Hasna, so easily this woman laughed after previously looking angry because Reza ignored her.
“What do you want to know about Mitha?” ask Reza directly.
“Ehhh... may I ask now Pak” Hasna immediately shocked, he did not expect that Reza was immediately open to be able to tell about Mitha
“Bu Mitha is sick what? Did she die giving birth to Maura or after Maura was born?”
Reza fell silent and later recounted the chronological death of Mitha due to preeclampsia and Maura's condition abandoned by her mother.
“Bapak is where it was?”
“I happen to be having a meeting in Surabaya for 3 days, that time the estimated doctor is still 2 weeks born for Maura” birth schedule
“So you did not have time to meet first with Bu Mitha until he died” asked Hasna quickly
“Not” Reza was pensive to see the cup in front of her, her guilt considering the last phone from Mitha kept ringing in her head.
“I and Mitha have been dating since High School, there has never been a special word between us, just understanding each other's feelings. Maybe it's because our characters are the same, not talking too much. He has always supported all my ambitions and desires, including giving up his dream of becoming a Kindergarten Teacher by leaving his studies to accompany me to S2 in the UK, I promised he would be able to continue his studies later after returning to Indonesia, but it turns out that the busyness with having Rain made him forget his dream that” Reza sighed and then went back to drinking his coffee.
“Dead Mitha I try to be able to take care of the children well, do not think to marry again, too draining energy to be able to reconnect with other women, he said, My mom used to meet a lot of women but I didn't feel interested. I don't need a wife for myself but I also need a mother for my children and most of the women that Mama introduces are women who want to be a wife but not be a mother for children i”
“But it's different with you” he said while looking at Hasna
“When meeting you, the center of your attention is Maura not me, but usually women will immediately try to attract my attention then see Maura or Rain.
“Eh... why what?” hasna asked confusedly not ready to be asked by Reza
“Why do you pay more attention to Maura and consider marrying me because of the children”
“Yes because your children are funny and fun unlike you are irritable and irritable” replied Hasna
“I feel sorry when I hear Maura say that her mother has gone to Heaven to accompany her lonely sister, I like to be sad if Maura hugs me while rubbing her nose into my chest if sleepy, maybe Pak”'s female instincts
“That made me choose you to be the mother of my children, because I see you sincerely love Maura and strive to be close to Rain”
“Yesterday Mas Arya said that I am a strange person, married to a man because he likes his son not his father, how weird am I Pak”
“What matters he said like that” Reza immediately rose 1 octave of his voice heard Hasna's speech
“After the engagement tomorrow Saturday I ask you to submit a resignation letter, so you can focus more on preparing for the wedding and sign up for the S2” lecture
“The resignation can not be directly Pak must process at least 2 weeks, anyway I still want to enjoy my time working before getting married” Hasna fast.
“The father must learn to give confidence to others, do not be easily provoked by the mind and others”
“I also have a request sir, I promised to give an opportunity for us to get to know each other better first. So I don't want us to have a husband and wife relationship before we get to know each other better, a bit strange for me because it's almost the same men I don't know”
“What is a husband and wife relationship? If you are married, you must be a husband and wife?” Reza is confused
“That's sir.. Husband and wife relationship that night-night Hasna manyun while confused rather hesitantly explain things like this to strangers.
“Night-night?” Reza is confused
“Ehhhh Father over time "unmarried"..it Pak relationship “intim”.... hadeuh must until explained until ABC emang... Kak Angga aja directly ngerti unmarried.. Forgive meh” Hasna is upset
“Owh....hahahahhaa.. well just say it directly kok to be confused like that” Reza laughs, laughs,
“Definitely later asked to enter the room with both Sir, I do not want the room together with Mr. Rich confusing later”
“So please think of the Father so that later there will be no rooming event with the Father, I am afraid the Father is khilaf”
“Yes yes later I think of” Reza replied with a smile.
“I promise to be a good husband for you, even if we start the marriage not on the basis of loving each other like other couples” said Reza
“Don't promise Sir, worry can't be kept later” Hasna said.
“There is a saying that if we can choose to be loved or loved then it would be better for us to be loved by our partner, but if we can get the partner we love and we love him then we are the most fortunate people on this earth… the problem is that we both do not love and are loved by each other.” Hasna said.
“Are we in the bad pair category sir?”
“Not also are we a unique couple, loving third parties that are children, and I guess that is a good start, an indicator that we are not selfish people, he said, thinking from the side of personal self-gains only”
“I will try then not to promise to be a good husband to you, fulfilling all your needs and desires, as a wife and mother of my children.”
“But I also asked for time to be able to love you as a couple, give me a chance to get used to it and forget all my guilty feelings to Mitha until I can love you whole”
Hasna fell silent, Reza's words sounding sincere in her ears.
“I am not a person who easily expresses feelings to others, maybe it is a bit difficult for you who always easy to tell and devote all his feelings to people, but I will try to be more open.
“If you are able to accept my shortcomings, we can try to continue our plan in the future”
Hasna was silent, she needed some time to digest what Reza had told her just now.
“Good.. I guess, we are two adults who can communicate with each other well. And I feel it's a good start”
“I also can not promise to love the Father but will try to accept the Father as a match chosen by God for me, it's just that if in the future I feel you are not being nice and make me uncomfortable as a woman then I ask permission on you to be able to forget me”
“Means releasing how?” Reza is confused, this woman has many mindsets that she does not understand.
“If until the time that feels treated well and makes me think that the Father is the best man for me then I will give the rights of the Father as a husband with full willingness, he said, but if then I feel the Father does not treat me well, then the Father must release me even though I have not fulfilled my obligations as a wife”
Reza smiled this woman has standards for herself and sets bargaining values based on her thinking not on mutual agreement or common values.
“Isn't the wife's obligation to fulfill her husband's rights?” reza Goda
“That's normal husband and wife.We are not normal husband and wife sir..we are husband and wife because the third person is children” replied Hasna quickly.
“Ok may, I will strive to be able to meet the standards you want so that I can get my rights as husband in the future” Goda Reza.
“I think you will face difficult and steep streets, frankly my standard is high Sir, that's why I find it difficult to get a pair” Hasna smiled knot, do not like to underestimate the ability of bargaining power with Hasna he thought.
“Ok... deal.. can we shake hands to agree on this” said Reza.
“OK..” Hasna stretched out her hand.
Reza welcomed Hasna's hand, and then turned her hand, and quickly slipped Hasna's back.
Hasna was immediately startled, pulled his hand but Reza's hand was stronger.
“Suppose this is the first step to get the pleasure of the couple, apparently you really have never been touched..just held it was shaking like this” Reza laughed while leaving Hasna glued to see the back of her hand.
Hasna's…. The score changed 1 - 1
