My madam, my poison

Ask the heart

Seconds later our netra sat. Don't ask me again how I feel now. The sound of my heartbeat exceeds the loudness of the drums that are sounded when the war is about to happen.

"Ehem!" Keenan's sudden wheezing made me misbehave. I took a piece of fried chicken from the container and put it in Lyra's plate. In order to cover my nervousness, I also started eating my dinner.

Gibran's ridiculous actions begin. I feel under there his feet are starting to touch my feet. However, unbeknownst to him I pulled my foot until finally …

"Ouch! Whose leg is this?" Suddenly she opened the cloth cover of the table. Gibran couldn't hide his embarrassment when he found his feet just below the table.

"Ma-ma-af, Mom. My spoon fell off."

"Why take her feet?"

"Ehm .. anu .. anu, …"

I could only help but laugh at Gibran's facial expression for enduring embarrassment and confusion.

"Ehm .. Zura," call Ms. Anita.

"Yes, Mom."

"Do you have an answer?"

"What answer do you mean?"

"The answer to Gibran's question was a while ago."

Isn't this dinner an invitation from Anita's mom to thank her for helping her yesterday? Why did Anita talk about that?

"Ehm .. I-I, …"

"I've given you a long time. Just answering want or not is very difficult," Gibran grumbled.

"Sorry, son ehm …"

"Gibrans."

"You know my daughter was once hurt by a man. I hope you can understand. Zura will definitely be more careful in choosing a life partner because she does not want to fall in the same hole" said the mother.

"Trust, Mom. My son really loved Azzurra. She'll love Lyra as much as her own daughter." Bu Anita chimed.

"Uncle Giblan likes Lyla's mom huh? Does Uncle want to marry Mom?" asked Lyra with her innocent eyes.

"Ehm .. mother, …"

"Lyra, come along uncle Nan-Nan look at the stars outside, yuk." Suddenly Keenan distracted my daughter. He's right, this conversation shouldn't be heard by a child of Lyra's age.

"I mean the little star uncle Lyla was singing in school?"

"Yes. We'll both count the stars in the sky."

"Definitely selu. Come Uncle Nan-Nan," said Lyra excitedly. He then took Keenan's hand and invited him to leave the dining room.

"Ehm .. Mrs Sabrina. I just found a new recipe in a magazine. Do you want to see?" said Anita ma'am.

"Can."

"Oh yeah. I have to contact my client immediately" Yudha said. They also left the dining table.

What the fuck? Why are they suddenly busy with their own business? Their goal must be so that I can be alone with Gibran. Yes Rabb, would I be too silly if I chose to disappear from his presence?

"Now there are only two of us. I hope you answer honestly. Don't you have the slightest feeling for me?" Gibran.

"I-I .. um, …"

"Do you like or hate me?".

"Why do you keep sighing? Didn't I tell you I need time to trust men?"

"You need to know, not all men are as bad as you think. Maybe Fabian hurt your feelings, but I'm not him. I promise to always love you and make you happy" Gibran said.

"Honestly, I feel comfortable around you. But it's too early to interpret it as love."

"How much longer do you need to think? I will be called God."

"Be careful when you talk. The word is do'a."

"Why do you keep pushing me?"

"You want to know why? I love you so much and I'm afraid of losing you."

"What you feel is not love, but na*su. If you really love me, you will understand me, not keep pushing me" I said.

"I just want to be the man who can protect you at all times, and Lyra."

"Don't keep pushing me, I don't like it."

"It is wrong for a man to fall in love with a woman and want to have her?"

"Love is never wrong. I just don't like being pressured let alone forced. If you do not want to be patient, please find another woman. Your girlfriends are a lot, aren't they?"

"I like to relate to beautiful girls with sexy. But that was before God brought us together. You're another of the women I've known in my life."

"I can't give you the answer yet" I said.

Gibran breathed.

"I'm sorry, maybe all this time I've been pushing my will too hard. I should understand that love can't be forced."

Suddenly there was a rumbling sound from the sky that indicated soon it would rain.

"Let's get out of Mom's hiding. I know the three of you eavesdropped on our conversation from now on" I said.

Sure enough, the mother suddenly appeared from behind the wall of the dining room followed by Anita and Yudha sir afterwards.

"God. From earlier you were eavesdropping on our conversation?" ask Gibran.

"We're sorry, son. We are just curious about Zura's answer" said Mr. Yudha.

I'm reviewing the smile.

It's okay, sir, Mom."

"Sorry, Sir, Mom. It's not that we don't want to linger in this house. But our driver couldn't drive in the rain, his vision was a little less" she said.

Not long after I saw Lyra and Keenan back in the dining room. My little princess looked so comfortable sleeping in her arms.

"When counting the stars, Lyra suddenly fell asleep on my lap" Keenan explained.

"It's been her bedtime. It'll be raining soon anyway. We have to leave soon," I said.

"Let me drive Lyra to the car" Keenan said.

After saying goodbye to Gibran's parents, we left the house.

"What makes you hesitate to accept Gibran, son? I see that he truly loves you" said the mother on the way home.

"Come, Ma. After my marriage and Fabian failed, it was so hard to open the door of this heart to another man."

"Ask your heart how you feel about Gibran. Only you know your own heart."

"Although sometimes silly and annoying, honestly I feel comfortable when near him," I said.

Mom puts on a smile.

"It looks like you already know the answer" he said.

Does this mean I'm really in love with Gibran?
