Not Just a Shadow

Chapter 22

My tears flowed unstoppably as Mas Ferdian cupped my face, I held back as the strains of the song on the lyrics of “Still cross your chest-doubt that-have your heart“ made me slit. Took me into the chat words I read the instant I entered the car

+62827..........

You do not know, if Mas Ferdian has been betrothed by the Mandala Group Company Owner! With his only daughter.

I read with pain, “I really don't deserve you Mas. The lyrics are deep, as deep as your heart. So far, I believe your feelings. But will things bless us?” my mind does not want to be silent according to my lips as if frozen with the depth of his eyes.

Finally, this was what Letiana was worried about. Something's upsetting my relationship with Mas Ferdian. No matter what the news, Emma will not say it other than with the aim of disturbing our relationship.

“ Darling, why the talk continues from earlier? Hemm, let's talk."Mas Ferdian straightened my face which was ducking to look into his eyes.

“We will not reach the destination if we will stop for a long time here.” I replied switching the topic of conversation.

“ We are not going to move from this place, Mas feel there is something you hold” Mas Ferdian tried to pry my honesty.

“Nothing Mas,” said I softened and turned my eyes away.

“No, here face Mas.” Mas Ferdian who had turned 90⁰ from his steering seat faced me. Shift my eyes to face him who has turned back.

“ We will be ayem for this relationship, if we open each other dear.” I seriously look at his face.

“ Read.” I gave my phone to her, opened Apk chat.

“ Trus, this is what made you talk about it?” Ferdian answered him with a stern tone. But still looking at me with gentleness. Without explanation, it is true or not.

“ Darling.” she hugged me tightly, as if she didn't want any parting. He showered me with a kiss on my forehead, in both of my eyes I was closed to feel the softness of his lips, on the tip of my nose, on both of my cheeks, and on both backs of my hands.

“ I love you, Hira" I heard him say my name. Her lips were pouring down on my face like a blanket that warmed my body. It's gone, missing the suspicion in my mind.

I just fell silent, Mas Ferdian continued on our way. Mas Ferdian deflected the direction of the road differently from the direction of my house. We stopped too long on the road, making it void to the second target location that we had to visit as planned today.

“ Mas, Can you take me home?”

“ Bentar, we stopped by Mas hotel first," I just nodded resignedly.

I followed him from behind without holding the edge of his shirt, which I used to do. Ferdian realized that. Ferdian pulled my hand

“ What are you employees, from behind? (Mas Ferdian paused the move for me to align with him) come on!” he held my hand.

We entered her hotel room, as usual the room she booked was always elite class.

“ Mas shower first yes, wait here do not go anywhere" he sat me on the sofa next to his bed.

“ Kok even shower, the destination was back here to why?”

“ Want to eat you, so Mas must smell first right?” Mas Ferdian brought his face closer to ten centi with my face. It scares me.

“ Yes ngaklah dear, Mas still have faith (Mas Ferdian clasped his two fingers on my nose) was afraid very, Mas was willing to take something “

“ Mas shower first, do not think strange! Okay?” Ferdian came out of the bathroom in a casual dress but seemed polite and neat.

“ Want to shower all over Dek, (i immediately glared at my eyes ) we jama’ isa all. It must have felt sticky all day we wander. (i brought my breath to relief) Tu there is a new clothes Mas bought yesterday for you forget not to bring. Wear it all sekalian”

“ Is this possible that you want to take ya?” I thought in silence.

“ Mas won't be anything, right?” I said scared.

“ No dear, for God's sake. Wait, I'm dah wundlu. Don't be long!”

“ Hmm." I cleared my face of make-up. And immediately stay under the shower. I immediately came out with the clothes that Mas Ferdian gave me and no make-up on my face, but Mas Ferdian still looked at me full of love.

Me and Mas Ferdian up the house, along the street hallway of my house looks every house we passed was all covered. Usually my Dad and Mom have slept, but somehow today as if Mom and Dad have got news of the event. They watched television in rather neat clothes, unlike usual. Ferdian came down to take me and even entered the house. If he takes me home at night, he comes right back.

“ Assalamallaikum Mr. Ibu’, (Mas Ferdian is welcome to enter, and Mr. Ibuk is also sitting in front of him ) because it is already night, and not appropriate for the time to visit. I'm in essence, the purpose of the conversation this time. I officially want to ask Mr. Ibuk's daughter to be my wife. As a first step, I want to tie Dek Hira down first. Although there are no sanctions, enough Mr. Ibuk and Allah is to sanction my sense of seriousness on Dek Hira” has flooded my tears to hear Mas Ferdian's proposal. The words that came out of his lips were like without breath, proving his seriousness to me. Treating my pain.

“ Here baby," Mas Ferdian patted the chair next to him hinting to me sit down.

“ How is Nduk?” my parents question as if I should officially answer it with words. I just nodded, my lips were heavy for speech.

“ Because our son agreed to it, we can only approve and mendo’” said my Father. (The answer language has been changed to Indonesian, yes)

Ferdian put on a simple but heavy ring on my finger. She also wears a gold bracelet in the shape of a watch. I shed my tears. How painful I felt that afternoon, and now I'm given a surprise like this. Ferdian cupped my face and kissed my head in front of my parents.

“ Because it is night, I beg you to say goodbye, Mr. Buk, please take care of Dek Hira lest anyone take a step earlier than I” Mas Ferdian mewanti-wanti.

“ Yes Son, keep up your good intentions. God will launch it.” My parents said.

I went out to accompany the farewell Mas Ferdian, Father and Mother leaving us both outside.

“ Mas, (i said spoiled in his hands, I felt guilty for my behavior last afternoon to thwart his plan to relax spend time with me ) I'm sorry”

“Hmm.” the answer is indifferent as if to hold it accountable.

“Cium Mas if you want to make up for your guilt” whispered in my ear.

“ Eeemmuach.” I put my hand around her neck so she would duck a little to reach next to her cheek.

“ It is not this that is kissed (he points at his cheek ) but this one..(he points at his lips )” instantly pinches his stomach.

“ Fast break, beautiful dream. Don't be late tomorrow.. Okay.” Mas Ferdian closed his body to me, our face was not far apart, his finger traced my brow, and kissed my forehead as the end of his words. I just nodded my head.

“Be careful on Mas road, (my hands are still coiled around his waist ) sweet dream as well.”

“ Mas asked to kiss so as not to sleep on the road" I closed my eyes, let him kiss my forehead, but there was even Mas Ferdian softly kissed my lips.

“Play the song 'Good darling by Guardian Band', as your lullaby” whispered in my ear made me open my eyes.

I was waiting for Mas Ferdian's car to disappear invisible and then I entered the house, Father and Mother did not wait for me. They are asleep in their beautiful dreams. I changed my clothes with a nightgown and soon met a soft one, but in a long time my eyes could not be closed. I remember Emma's chat, painful. But I tried to blow my bad thoughts. I looked at the ring that Mas Ferdian was wearing on my finger. Engraved there Fer-Hira, I kissed the ring on my finger.
