HEART SHAPED RING

I officially started the day off, at least my burden was reduced and I was able to focus on the specialist school I was taking. 

I was sitting in the campus cafeteria. Think about what happened last night. Nandes kind of let out all the anger in his heart to me so I could feel it but at the same time show him how much he loves me.

When I woke up this morning in her arms, she was looking at me with a warm look. He kissed my eyes, my cheeks and then my forehead. As soon as I saw it I felt like my day was beautiful. I grabbed her face, traced her lips with my finger and found a ring with very sweet heart-shaped eyes embedded in my finger. I don't know when Nandes put it up. I looked towards Nandes and cried happily as he said

" I'll see your father soon. I want us to get married", she whispered to me. I hugged her tightly, very happy to receive such a proposal in the morning. 

I was shocked that the phone rang, Elsa called me. I want to quickly meet him. I want to tell you how Nandes proposed to me in bed. I want to share my happiness with her, surely Elsa is happy to hear this news.

" Hello Sa", I picked up the phone. 

" Hey…. How's how? There's progress?", Elsa asked with a kepo level above the maximum.

" Yes, I was proposed to Nandes this morning in bed. Hmmmm.. romantic really no", I giggled can not hold my happiness. 

" Waaah really? Finally, my God. I thought you'd be single for that long. So when is the official proposal?", Elsa asked.

" hasn't. I'll see my father first. Yes, we will meet tonight. Four", I ended the call and it was confirmed by Elsa. 

Nandes picked me up at the gate. When I got in the car Nandes was throwing flowers at me. A huge bouquet of beautiful pink roses.

" For me?", ask me to be happy.

" No. To your mother", replied Nandes casually. I'm disappointed. Nandes chuckled, "I'll buy you a big flower garden", Nandes stroked my head dear.

I frowned, Nandes' car headed for my house. Before entering the house Nandes sat in the car a little restless.

" Why are you?", I asked seeing such an unsettled Nandes.

" me? Nervous. What if your father doesn't like me? or don't you want to marry me?", Nandes looked at me.

" ha? not that you're familiar with my father. Playing chess often? I thought you were so ready to meet mom and dad", I teased Nandes.

Nandes glanced at the door of my house "because I was familiar with your father so I was nervous. He talks about you often. Told me all your childhood and asked me to take care of you. I feel like I betrayed a friend".

I'm getting excited about teasing her "Em. I mean you're suspicious of me. It's worth asking when did you come home as my girlfriend?!. Looks like dad knows you fucked his daughter".

Nandes glared at me "Oh yeah? Did you really know?".

" Yeah.he knows", I nodded confidently.

Nandes held his chest and rested his head on the steering wheel of the car. I giggled while keeping my mouth shut. How could his guts shrink like that.

" Okay.if you ask me about it I'll say that princess om is teasing me with a nightgown that has a broad back and the price tag has not been removed" Nandes said firmly.

I'm surprised "What? you're throwing a rock hide a hand", I hit him on the shoulder.

" But that's reality, right? you forgot?", Nandes teased me back. My face is flushed. Nandes laughed with satisfaction.

" Yes, let's go ah. Do you want to see me or not?", I took off my seat belt.

Nandes grabbed my hand "Dew, what if your father doesn't like me?". Nandes was really nervous.

" Dad must have liked you. I'm sure ", I hugged Nandes to calm him down.

When dealing with my parents Nandes looks very stiff and not as relaxed as usual.

" What is Nandes for?", my father asked sternly.

" I'm here to tell you that I am .. ahem. My mother and father waited patiently. " I want to marry Om's son", continued Nandes.

My father and mother were quite surprised to hear that statement. Then my mom smiled at me like she was so happy to hear that.

" What makes you so sure to marry my daughter?", my father asked with a very serious face.

" I love him with my soul. I wanted to make her happy and spend the rest of my life with her", Nandes replied by looking me in my father's eyes.

For a long time my father was silent to see the confidence in Nandes' every word and look, and then he nodded.

" Not every woman is like your mother. Not all men are like your father", my father spoke while looking at me and Nandes.

Then my father looked at Nandes "Love my son as you love your mother. Love him with all your heart. I bless you both".

Nandes' tears drip. Nandes looked at me and smiled. I cry happy, I am so happy more than anything. My father took Nandes and my mother held my hand.

" Let's eat together. Mom's been cooking a lot" My mom smiled and took us to the dining room.

I showed my ring in front of Elsa's face.

"So?", Elsa asked curiously.

" My family agreed", I let out a small scream while prancing. Elsa prancing along. We were like two little kids receiving candy gifts. Nandes and Adam smiled at our behavior.

" Dear, let's talk while we eat" Nandes rubbed my head.

"Yeah. Comein. I've reserved a place for us", Adam continued.

We went into the restaurant that Adam and Elsa chose. A lot of things we talked about while eating together, especially Adam and Nandes who talked about the business they were in together.

" Dew, it looks like Juan likes you too much" Elsa spoke to me while we were on the toilet.

I kept quiet while washing my hands in the sink.

" A lot of things changed Sa. Maybe he was confused by how he felt about me. But I pushed him away. I don't want to be in touch with her anymore", I talked while looking in the mirror.

" But Dew, I think you should be careful of Juan. She seems to be able to do anything to get you", Elsa warned me.

I nodded "I don't think so. She would have forgotten me if she knew I was going to marry Nandes", I convinced myself

" Yes, I hope so", Elsa doubted my words.

I thought about what Elsa told me. But Juan wouldn't be like that to me. He won't hurt me. I convinced myself.

But I should have listened to Elsa. I took Juan's feelings for me lightly. The day Juan said he wanted me to come. The day I was heartbroken for the second time because of my first love.
