NARITA POV
There was no suspicion at all when Daniel took me to a quiet cafe with a pitch-black atmosphere. It was as if there were no signs of the cafe opening. But he continued to take me to the back of the cafe, until we arrived at a park. He asked me to stand up at some point and then he left me and headed for a big thing that looked like a piano.
I noticed his movements just by relying on the neighbor's house lights. Until finally a lamp highlighted its existence. He started playing the piano and singing.
I was surprised when a lamp came to light. No doubt I look to the right and left to ask ‘what is this exactly?’.
My brain started thinking.
What did Daniel mean by singing that song? Wh-wh-what for? In what order?
I know this is a song that he always plays in his car.
My eyes did not turn away from him. His music and voice seemed to bewitch me. He who had been silent as if he had never shown his skill, turned out to have a talent that made me amazed. As long as I knew him, even though I never saw him play the piano or even listen to the sound of his singing, not even just humming.
But this time?
I'm stunned. I'm amazed. I was swept away in his power. The piano game that touches and sounds like he's a professional in that field.
Until the song ended, applause rang out, and the lights suddenly lit up brightly, awakening my daydream.
I was like a fool who could only afford to be silent in the place where I was standing right now. I looked to the right and to the left had many people gathered around. They were our genk friends including some of Daniel's men.
Up,,,,,
Oh, my God, what's he doing??
Suddenly Daniel was on his knees resting on 1 of his left knee and 1 of his right foot. His hand held a small red velvet box that had opened. Then he said:
"Indeed we have much taste. We are not together. If indeed we are destined to be together forever, love would not be where."
(We really have a lot of differences. We are not even together. If we are meant to be together forever, love will go nowhere.)
"Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was choice, but falling in love with you was completely out of my control."
(Meeting you is fate, being your friend is a choice, but falling in love with you is completely out of my day.)
“I love you not because I need you. I need you because I love you."
(I love you because I need you. I need you because I love you.)
“Will you marry me?"
(Will you marry me?)
My eyes bulged, my mouth gaping which I finally covered with both palms of my hands. His last words left me unable to think clearly, unable to say anything, even stiff feet. Only my ears were able to function hearing how roaring the voices of our friends were shouting their support for Daniel.
How could this happen to me. For 28 years no one has proposed to me, suddenly at this time in 1 week there are 2 handsome men who proposed to me.
Oh my God, how should I?
I was confused, what answer would I give?
I can't embarrass him here. But I also couldn't give him a decision.
A moment later, I returned with my consciousness. I grabbed her wrist immediately, and I pulled her away from there.
No doubt the roar of our friends makes the atmosphere more splashy. I took him to the side where no one was there.
“Niel...” I looked into her eyes which were currently looking at me. I saw myself in his bluish eyeballs. He smiled and replied “Hmm”.
Daniel smiled again and glanced at his wrist which I still hold. Spontaneously I realized it and immediately I took my hand off.
“Why are you suddenly doing this?” ask again.
“You will say, if you express your heart let me know how you feel. But you never said you were waiting for my answer!”
“Na, I sincerely love and love you!”
“Since meeting you, only you have always been in my heart!”
“If you haven't felt the way I feel, it's okay if I have to wait for him”
“It is better to learn to love when we are already in the bond of marriage, than to be late to realize the existence of love when others have tied the promise with others” Daniel expressed the answer.
“Niel, you know I'm in shock right now!” I started to show my anxiety and Daniel noticed.
“Na, listen to me!” Daniel held both of my shoulders with both hands, while his eyes looked at me and tried to calm me down.
I began to adjust my breath as if running away.
“I'll give you time to think about it. Hmm!” he reassured me very gently.
“Then what about this show? Our friends?” manyworry. I don't want to embarrass him. In any case, Daniel is my best friend.
“I have to accept the risk of applying for someone who has not been my lover!” he smiled again and removed his hand from my shoulder.
“Na, you save this!”
“It will be time for you to answer, please take this ring and I will put it on you! Hmm?” chief Davis nodded still reassuring me.
Scroll the bludru box that was currently on top of his right palm. I just fell silent.
Daniel's left hand immediately grabbed my right hand, then he handed me the box of velvet while saying “Please consider, Na!”
I'm holding the velvet box.
“We talk over there!” Davis pointed to a long swing that was fit to sit together.
Our friends have started to enjoy all the dishes in the cafe, the music from the piano also plays softly. A few eyes looked intensely at me and Daniel who were currently riding on the swing. Shortly after we were on the swing, a waiter delivered us snacks and juices and they put them on the table near the swing.
“You want to drink?” Daniel offered me and I shook my head at deskwab “Later to”.
A few seconds later, we both fell silent.
“Na, what kind of life companion do you want?” daniel asked to open the conversation again.
Seiman and devoutly religious, have maturity of mind, economic independence, loving, patient, gentle personality, and most importantly continue to be invited to discussion – unfortunately I was only able to mention it in detail in my heart.
“Hai,, cuckoo even daydreaming!?” Daniel waved his hand in front of my face, making me realize.
“Na, I want as much as possible to be the life companion you want. That's why I need to know, so that if there is something that does not fit your criteria, I can fix it!” Daniel said without waiting for my answer.
“Hmmm,,,” I still pause, so that what I say does not offend him.
“I want someone who can guide me to be better. Can grow together to form a family that is sakinah, mawaddah, and warahmah.” I saw Daniel scratching his forehead.
