My dear Siomay

Palau

How do I feel about Tio?I thought she was just a friend, but at this moment my heart trembled and thumped as she said she wanted to be my girlfriend. In my heart there are so many different feelings that I don't know what they are.

"mau.mau!!", cheers in Tio's favor were still heard.

I turned my gaze to where Mas Zein was, she still stood looking at me.This all makes me feel bad for her, but if I reject Tio, it's all about me,I'm afraid I'm going to break our friendship and make things awkward.

Tio walked towards me with the flowers. I feel bad being treated like that.

"Isna, don't need to answer now, I wait until the next 3 days", Tio while giving the flowers in her hand. I can't refuse. I took the flowers she gave because Tio gave me time to answer, if she didn't give me time, I probably wouldn't have taken the flowers she gave me. Everyone boisterously rejoiced, thinking I accepted Tio to be my girlfriend. I looked back at Mas Zein, but he disappeared. I'm afraid he's prejudiced that I accepted Tio as my girlfriend. I immediately ran to Mas Zein's room.

"Isna, where are you going?", Tio shouted.

"I'm going to the toilet for a second!", I lied.

When I was in Mas Zein's room, it turns out he was still sleeping, what Mas Zein pura?. I want to wake up but I'm afraid she's really asleep. I'll be out of the room immediately. This all confused me. I'll go to the toilet soon. I wash my face and breathe. In my heart I blamed Mas Zein, why didn't he directly ask me to be his girlfriend when he expressed his feelings?this relationship hangs without clarity. Does it feel like an adult if it acts?could it be that he wanted to see my reaction first?. If only he had acted like Tio, maybe I wouldn't have been this stupid because he was the person I liked from the start. But now I feel the pounding when near Tio, do I like it?.

After the toilet, I was confused which room to go to?tio Room or Mas Zein?I just fell silent in the middle of the road with mixed feelings.

"Hey, why are you daydreaming?", Mba Wulan patted me on the shoulder.

"Wulan MBA?how come it's here?", I'm with a face of astonishment.

"So your aunt asked you to come home, eat it I came here with Mr. Yanto, now you go home, later among Mr. Yanto. The boss let me and Mr. Yanto take care of you tonight".

Good thing Auntie asked me to come home, I really wanted to go home. Maybe because it was too shocking. Without thinking I immediately agreed and bid farewell to Tio's room.

"Tio, I'll go home!My aunt asked me to come home, maybe there's a need, this evening Alex took care of you!", I'm leaving immediately.

"Ta..but.".", as Tio wanted to prevent but could not. Not forgetting I told Mba Wulan to tell about my return to Mas Zein.

Maybe that's the right word. Which one should I choose?.

When I got to my aunt's house, I took a break. Today was exhausting.

The next day I told my aunt. I trust him a lot. He's the only place I vent.

"How, Bi?", I asked Auntie's advice.

"If according to Auntie, you better pray Istikharoh, ask God to be given the best according to Him, we never know what is best for us" I nodded in agreement.

Last night my heart ached when I saw Isna receiving flowers from Tio. I had to pretend to sleep to hide my jealousy. Actually I'm going to propose to Isna to be my fiancee after I get home from the hospital. I know she hasn't graduated so I want us to get engaged first. I have prepared a special ring for him. Even though my father and foster mother disagreed, but it was enough that they continued to force me. Before Isna came into my life, I had a boyfriend, we were ready for a household, but my foster father ruined everything. She asked us to part ways, until my boyfriend couldn't stand it and our relationship broke up halfway. My boyfriend chose the wrong path by committing suicide. From that moment my life was bleak.After the coming of Isna, my life was colored again. And I'm determined to fight for Isna at all costs.

"Sir, Isna last night was delivered by Mr. Yanto, his aunt called and asked him to come home, so I came here", Wulan, my assistant told me.

"Yes, Sir!", Wulan immediately tidied up the goods that must be taken home.

When I got home, I looked at the ring I was going to give to Isna. Should I give you this ring?or has Isna received Tio's love?.I was silent in turmoil.

Last night Isna came home and did not accompany me. It feels lonely if there is no Isna. Only Alex can I see now. His face that was tangled from waking up adorned my morning.

"Alex, wash your face!", take me throw a pillow over his face.Maybe I look disrespectful to people who are older than me, but it's all because I'm so close to him.

"Ok, Boss!!!", by showing her thumbs she walked towards the bathroom.

I was lethargic and looked at Alex coming out of the bathroom.

"So lethargic sir?isn't Isna already accepting Mister as her boyfriend", Alex was curious.

"Yet, he has not answered willingly or not" I said with my sluggishness.

"Not that, did he take it?", Alex continued to investigate.

"Yes, but I said that I gave him 3 days, so now I'm upset, waiting for an answer from him", I kept both hands on my cheeks.

"If you think Isna likes me?", I try to ask about Alex's opinion.

"Looks like he's still in doubt, sir tell him that you're a rich man, a lot of money, surely any woman will bend her knees to see you show wealth" Alex argues.

"Oh, huh?when will he like it if he finds out I'm rich?That's not 'cewe matre'", I don't believe Alex's words.

"Yes ...h the Boss, where the name of the woman likes money, my mother just every day asked and asked always money, just believe me deh".

"But how do I tell him that I'm rich?", I went back and asked Alex for advice.

"On your birthday, what if we invite all our friends to school, continue to show that the Master is not a random person, he must be proud and immediately answer yes", Alex gave an idea.

"Well, that's a good idea, too, I should try, but the effect is like showing off, I don't like showing off!".

"For Isna dong Tuan, do not give up, keep going!!!", Alex said excitedly.

After getting advice from Alex I immediately volunteered to go home. I will prepare everything to welcome Isna to my home. I will shock and amaze him who is a young master from a rich family.

Behind my turmoil, I tried to get Isna's heart that seemed not to be attached to me. But I must not give up, before the yellow janur waved me in front of the house, Isna belonged to everyone, and only the fastest man would win.
