Day after day passed by, but I still enjoyed my solitude. Quite a number of men approached me but somehow none of them could captivate my heart.
I met my new colleague yesterday the day after, named Mas Haris who is four years older than me.
The plan is to discuss the Family Gathering event in our office which will be held next month.
"The old Mir?" ask Haris when he arrives.
"That's it too." I replied.
"You are in the same office outside different huh" said Mas Haris
"Which different?"
"You're in a pretty office eh fitting outside the office prettier" teased Mas Haris
"It could be a fight." I chuckled back.
"I'm speaking according to Mir's facts"
"Ah already, we are directly yes Mas"
"Hayuk if I'm from you really ready Mir."
"What the hell is Mas talking about?"
"Eh Kirain wants to talk about our future" said Mas Haris with a laugh.
"Oh Allah, this is what we are talking about. Family Gathering Issues."
"Oh yes Sorry. You're so pretty that you want to be my wife."
I quietly did not respond to Mas Haris' words and quickly diverted by talking about the office matter. So that Mas Haris doesn't continue his flirtation with me.
Family Gathering has finished we talked about. Mas Haris invited me to stay with him, I agreed.
"Would you like to see me, not Mir?"
"May I be Mas"
We went to the cinema in one of the malls.
We started watching the movies we chose.
"Where else did Mir run out of this? Does anyone want to go?" ask Mas Haris after the movie is over.
"We eat only yuk Mas, it's fitting meeting we just eat a snack only."
Not waiting for long, Mas Haris immediately invited me to the food court outside the Mall.
We talked for a long time after finishing our meals.
I don't think the sky is getting dark. We also went home using our own vehicles.
**********
Me and Mas Haris are getting closer, we often eat together and even walk together.
Honestly, it feels comfortable with Mas Haris.
Today Mas Haris and I will come to Mother's house. Mas Haris has asked me from last month to come to Mother's house, but only today can take her home.
"Let's go in Mas" take me when I get in front of Mom's house.
Mas Haris walked beside me. When we entered the house, Mother welcomed us as well as the following Father sitting in the living room when we started chatting with Mother. Devi's not at home this time, she's on her semester exam.
After we finished chatting and eating with Mom and Dad, we said goodbye.
Mas Haris drove me to my apartment.
"Mir, I'm next month at your parents' house again okay?" ask Mas Haris when I'm getting out of his car.
"May I."
"But next month's visit I'm not just gonna have a chat with them."
I put on a questionable face.
"I'm proposing to you Mir."
"Joking you" I said with a laugh.
"I'm serious about you Mira, I want to marry you." Mas Haris' face and voice started to get serious.
"But I've been married before."
"Certain why? Is there trauma in you? Trust me Mir, I'll help you lose your trauma. I'm different from your ex-husband."
"It's not Mas, you're established, dashing and you're still a virgin. You can get more women than me. I don't deserve you."
"What the hell are you talking about? I don't want to know, I'm going to bed next month. I want to marry you Mir. So marry me Mira"
Mas Haris waited for my answer while holding my hand and bringing his face closer to mine.
"Yes, I want to marry you"
Mas Haris smiled broadly at my answer as well as I replied with a smile.
I got out of the car and walked into the apartment feeling happy.
When I got to my cell phone room it sounded. Devi called me.
"Cieeee, who has moved on" Devi immediately teased me as soon as I received her call.
"You call her Mba that's the real thing. Greetings to the cake."
"Sorry sorry beautiful Mba Mira. After that I hunted down my seneng when I called, said Mba Mira brought a man home. Mom also told me that her name was Mas Haris." said Devi cengengesan.
"Yes the one who said Mom was real."
"When I come home to me, Mba. I want to know my future brother-in-law. Hihih."
"Yes bauble. I'm tired, just returned from Mom's house."
"Oh ok that's it. Assalamualaikum Mba Mira"
"Wa'alaikumsalam"
That's how Mom is, definitely not going to be able to resist her desire to tell Devi about me. Not infrequently also Mother told Devi to me.
