Zoya
I left Rion and Bi in the park. The next plan, we will go to the second floor because the application event will officially be held there.
Our family and Rion's family are already there. When I went into my study, they were actually already here. They waited in another room for Bi not to see them and felt suspicious.
I greet the friends who succeeded Bi's application. They sit at several tables.
"Good fun, yeah." I left them and walked to the second floor.
Rion and Bi walked behind me.
"Where are we going, Yon?" I heard Bi talking to Rion. "Why go up to the second floor?"
"We need an official proposal, my dear brother." Rion's voice sounded spoiled.
"Hooeeekk... Wanted to puke, baaaang!" I'm acting nauseous hearing Rion's words. I turned around while still in the middle of the child. I saw Bi laughing at my behavior.
"Cash... Brother Zoy is disturbing our romance, brother." Rion grumbled but he laughed. How strange.
"See dong's place." Saying to him.
"Patience, my dear Bi. There are envious people here. We'll have a honeymoon at the hotel until we vomit, yeah."
Hiii... I shuddered amusedly at Rion's words which I thought were very, ah hard to explain.
I left that lovebirds who were in that romance drunk.
I got to the second floor. There was my family and Rion and representatives from neighbors and religious leaders.
Our family sat opposite the Rion family.
She sat down between my mom and me. Next to me is Mother Una.
"Hows it? We start the show?" A man speaks on the right side. Ezra was appointed by Rion to be the MC.
We made a little stage there. Right in front of the decoration dominated by the white cloth.
Papa and Om Ray agree to start the show.
"Assalamaualaikum Warahmatullahi wabarakatuh."
We all answered his greetings.
"Tonight. We'll start with a story." His words made us focus on him.
A strange application?
I do know the scenario of Ezra being the MC. But I don't know the arrangement of the show. I was just in charge of taking Bi to the back garden.
"The story between a girl is near-perfect and a self-informed man." Ezra laughs. And it helped to provoke the laughter of us all. Including Rion.
"The story begins with the man becoming a private driver for the beautiful girl everyone's favorite daughter."
Ezra glanced at me.
I'm thumping. Whose story is this? Why like his story?
"Nath!" I tried to call out to Nath who was sitting a little far away from me.
"What?" His whisper.
"It's not in the scenario!"
"There's a brother."
"Kok I don't know?"
"So, I wasn't invited to a discussion about it." She grinned.
Less asem sister.
Mother told me to refocus on this event.
"The man who accompanied the girl worked. From one place to another. From one city to another."
"The man who promised the girl's parents to look after and protect her daughter from all harm."
I'm getting pounding.
"But as time goes by. The man doesn't know he's in love." Ezra did not seem nervous at all.
His hand held the microphone. And one more hand moves freely. And sometimes he put it in a pants pocket.
"Isn't he like a fence trying to hurt the plants he's supposed to protect?" His little laugh provoked the smiles of everyone but me.
"The man tried to hide his feelings."
"Because expressing feelings is the same as making a barrier because it is certain there will be rejection." Ezra laughed again.
"The man harbors feelings. Satisfied to be a driver just for the sake of being able to see his girl every day. Protect the girl with his own hands."
"Until one day, the taste was revealed just like that."
"Because, want to until when to continue hiding behind the status of a private driver that in fact does not make his heart calm."
"Wait until when? Until another man proposed to the girl in front of his own eyes?"
"But all is beyond belief. Out of his control. He's been rejected." Ezra nodded with a laugh. Everyone laughs.
"A year has more to do with status. Private driver no longer. Best friend but not close."
"Until one day the man ventured back to express his feelings. And the path slowly opens."
"And the man doesn't know that he's in front of you." Ezra pointed to himself.
"The man who dares to love an extraordinary girl."
"A Zoya Khairumi Bramantyo." Ezra.
"He who is always in my heart even after parting ways."
"Don't forget, I keep loving."
"Getting forward in order to achieve it. For the sake of being worthy of her. It feels difficult indeed. But I still do."
Ezra walked towards me. Ezra extended his right hand.
I saw mom and dad alternating. Both nod. I walked behind him towards the stage.
Now we face each other.
"All that trouble doesn't matter to me as long as it's about you." Ezra smiled at me who was now pounding incoherently.
"Isn't love when the happiness of others is more important than the happiness of oneself?"
"And you're the only woman who makes me risk everything for a precious future."
My tears have been shed.
"Now I know why God brought you into the world. That's for me to love."
I bit my lower lip withstanding the crying.
"You deserve the best, Zoy. A man who supports you indefinitely, who fights for you without hesitation, and who loves you to the end."
"Zoya, let me be that guy."
"Spend the rest of my life with me." Ezra is still talking.
"Being the first thing I see when I open my eyes in the morning."
"Being the figure I look for when I'm tired of working."
Ezra knelt in front of me with a small box in his right hand.
"Married to me."
Sreeet... Nath pulled the cloth that covered the wall on that stage. I caught a glimpse. It's written. Zoya, marry me.
I wiped my tears. I let out a breath. Feels claustrophobic. I should be prepared for this kind of thing. But I didn't expect him to do it now, even in front of the whole family.
I'm nodding.
"I accept you, with all my advantages and disadvantages."
"Stay beside me to the end, Zra."
"Alhamdulillah." Pleased speech.
Ezra stood up and put the ring on my ring finger.
Everyone clapped their hands especially the Star that ran straight towards me. Hugged me very tightly.
"May you be happy, dear Zoyaku."
"Thank you, Bi."
Event continues. Rion's family officially proposed to Bi. And papa accepted the proposal. The surrender before us was actually mine and Bi.
Boxes with soft blue color ribbons are Bi's. And the colored soft pink is mine.
Ezra was represented by the religious leaders and the Tiara family was present as a representative of his family. His father was unable to attend because he settled in Semarang.
"Next week we go to Semarang to ask for my father's blessing." Take Ezra as we enjoy a cup of coffee.
I'm nodding. "I set the schedule, yeah."
"Ciee. the one step closer. Very romantic." Rion and Bi walked over.
"All of you can be romantic!" I stick my tongue out at him.
"Bang, romantic-romantic battle, yuk."
I rolled my eyeballs. This is a child the idea is there.
"So. We're still enjoying this." Point me at my coffee cup and Ezra on the table.
"What?" ask Bi.
"Coffee."
"His son is like that." Said Rion staring at the contents of our cup.
"Snake dong. Free." Ezra's words added to Rion's curiosity.
"Free? Where are you taking it, Bang?" Rion looked around.
"Gift of readers." Fast Sahutku.
Rion thumped his lips. "Chains of resto."
Rion and Bi went back to their table. It left me and Ezra laughing satisfied.
