“Kak, I actually want to come, but...what should I say to Mama and Papa? They definitely won't let me go with brother.” Ardi and Zahra are in the hospital canteen. Ardi deliberately came to Zahra to take her to Pekanbaru, but Ardi forgot that he also had to ask permission from both Zahra's parents.
“I'll ask your parents for permission. I already bought three tickets.” Ardi clasped Zahra's hand, “how about I propose to you guys?” tanyakanya.
Zahra shook her head, “don't, Sis. This is not the right time, besides I'm not ready,” she refused.
“Why? Are you still in doubt, or do you want to change your mind after knowing everything about me?”
“That's not it, Sister.I will never change my decision, nor do I care much about my brother's past. I just want to be close to Rasya, I want to take his heart so that he will accept me completely. I don't want my sister to be hated by Rasya because of our marriage. Give me a little more time,” pinta Zahra while brushing her smile.
“Good.” Ardi confirmed everything Zahra said. Rasya has not been able to accept Zahra as his mama's replacement, but Ardi also will not give up on making them close, “but you must still follow me, I'll talk to both of your parents, besides since I proposed to you back then, I haven't met your parents. I want to dispel their misunderstandings,”.
“What time will the plane leave?”
“We'll leave tomorrow, we leave at 09:00 in the morning. Today I want you to apply for leave, because we will stay there for three days.” Ardi deliberately withdrew his departure, because he also had to ask permission to both Zahra's parents if he wanted to invite Zahra to participate in Pekanbaru.
Zahra rounded her eyes, “apa! Stay?” tanyanya surprised.
Ardi nodded his head, “iya we will stay there,” he said with a smile on his face.
Zahra shook her head, “no! How can I stay there, what will they think about me. We are not officially married, besides Mama and Papa I will not allow me,” he refused.
Ardi moved from his seat, “you take it easy, you just wait for news from me. Then I go first, don't forget to take three days off from tomorrow,” he said then stepped away.
“What will he do? Is he really going to talk to my parents, is he crazy?” Zahra let out a long sigh, she did not want to take a headache, “letter, rather than dizziness, mengingan I continued my work,” he said then moved from his seat.
Zahra stepped into her study, surprised to see Samuel in her room, “what are you doing here?” the girl walked over, and she sat her body beside Samuel.
“I want to take you to lunch.”
“Sorry, I just finished lunch with Brother Ardi.”
“For what did he come here? Does he not work?”
Zahra wants to ask Samuel's opinion about Ardi's invitation, “kak, I want to ask brother's opinion,” he said.
“Approval. About what?”
“So Kak Ardi came here it wanted to invite me to go to Pekanbaru to meet his sister's family.” Zahra deliberately lied, because she didn't want Samuel to know if what she was going to was Ardi's ex-wife's house, “but she invited me to stay there, what should I do? In addition, Mama and Papa will not allow me to stay,”.
Samuel has now changed his position to sit cross-legged facing Zahra, “what Ardi has proposed to you officially to om and aunt?” tanyakanya.
Zahra shook her head, “not that Brother Ardi does not want to, but I am not ready,” he said.
“Why? Isn't this what you've been waiting for all this time?”
“His son can't accept you yet?” Zahra nodded her head, “then what would you do if the child still did not want to accept you as a mother, will you give up?” tanyakanya.
Zahra lowered her face, “I don't know,” she said in a soft tone.
***
Currently Ardi was at Zahra's house, he accidentally met both of Zahra's parents without being accompanied by the girl.
“For what did you come here?” papa Zahra asked as she folded her arms around her chest. Until now he was still very disappointed with Ardi for playing with the feelings of his only daughter.
“I came here want to apologize equally om and aunt for my attitude all this time, besides I also want to resolve the misunderstanding four years ago.”
Papa Zahra scrunched his forehead, “what misunderstanding do you mean?” tanyanya.
Ardi is now starting to tell me the real thing that happened. About her not at all intending to play Zahra and also to renege on the promise she had made in front of both of Zahra's parents.
Papa Zahra looks very surprised to hear all the explanations Ardi, how could his daughter do all that just to avoid someone who put their heart on him. Mama Zahra looks mediocre, because she already knows, but she hasn't told the truth to her husband.
“Om, Aunt. Don't blame Zahra for this, because I was wrong. It was all my idea and Kenzo, at that time I just wanted to help Zahra. But even though our relationship at the time was just a play, but I really loved Zahra very much.The feeling I felt for Zahra was real and not a play. The promise I made to her in front of my aunt and at that time was also sincere from the bottom of my heart. I want to keep and make Zahra.” happy There was a feeling of relief in Ardi's heart after telling all the truth. Now he is just waiting for the answer to be given by the parents of Zahra.
“If you really love and are serious about Zahra, then why have you not come here for four years to tell the truth?” papa asked Zahra, even though she knew the truth, but she still felt disappointed by Ardi's decision not to see her daughter and made her sad.
“I actually keep coming to this house, but I only see Zahra from afar. Because I think Zahra already has someone else who will make her happy. But it turns out that all this time I misunderstood, because the man I saw at that time turned out to be his cousin's brother, Samuel,” explained Ardi.
“Samuel and Zahra are close, thanks to Samuel Zahra can be a doctor now,” said Mama Zahra.
Ardi took a slow breath and threw it away slowly too, “om, aunt. My arrival here actually I want to ask for the blessing of om and aunt. I love Zahra so much, I promise I won't hurt Zahra again. I really want to have a more serious relationship with Zahra, if om and aunty allow, I want to make Zahra my wife, mother of my children,”.
Papa and Mama Zahra stared at each other. They seem very surprised by what Ardi says, because Zahra did not say if Ardi would come to propose.
“Actually Zahra also does not know if I came here to propose,” he added later.
“Have you talked about this with Zahra? did he accept your proposal?” ask Papa Zahra.
Ardi nodded his head, “I have proposed to Zahra, and he wants to accept me as I am,” he said.
Ardi looked at the two Zahra parents in turn, “but before om and aunt answered my proposal, there was something I wanted to tell you about me,”.
