Secret of the Heart

Frights

When I just arrived at the office yard, Mr. Satpam stopped my car and I immediately opened the windshield.

"Mbak Kia, parking at the hotel bassement, parking lot to use event," he said and I immediately according because I saw many small beds from PMI for blood donation event one of the company's birthday events.

Santi was already there looking busy talking to the PMI and there were several journalists from the print and online press who would cover the event today. Very crowded even though it is still early in the morning they may want to prepare for a successful event.

Wiwin immediately waved as I entered the venue telling me to come to the place of the employees who were again sitting waiting for the event to start. There are several guests from several government agencies and large customers such as hotels, owners of educational foundation buildings and other service companies.

"All employees must come after passing the health test" explained Wiwin, pulling my hand to sit next to him.

"Okay, no problem."

I approved it because I thought there was no harm in donating a few drops of blood to the needy as the PMI chairman said when I passed by them that they were too lacking to help the patients requiring.

********

After the show I entered the work room, I saw Lisa was busy with her work until I did not realize I was coming.

"Eh, Brother Kia just finished his show sister?"

"Yes, you're not coming?"

Lisa shook her head saying that there was a lot to do so couldn't go down to see us attending the event.

"Prepared Kia.. logistic car is on stand by, we together with the manager of PT Ico marco distributed donations in area X " said bang Riko when passing in front of my room.

"I'm not coming, later in the afternoon there is a charity in the front hotel ballroom, afraid the time is not possible," I refused.

"Yes, later the same charity event Beny bang from the plaza and there is also Miko he is still on his way here," explained bang Riko while leaving me.

"Miko's coming?"

"Yes." Yeah."

I immediately grabbed the phone in my bag and tried to contact Miko.

"You wanna come here?"

I asked when I connected and I heard the sound of the car meant Miko was on her way.

"Why, miss me?"

"Totally confident."

"Acquire."

"All your misses, brother Arya, I let alone bang Riko he was from earlier waiting for you to come."

Miko laughed at my dubious answer to her. It was so confusing as I looked for another reason.

"Yes, miss u," I said softly with a smile.

"Okay, wait for ya. at most another hour until," explained Miko.

*********

I headed to Santi's room, seen he was ready for a free donation event with a big food distributor in Indonesia.

"You're not coming?"

Brother Santi came straight to me who just looked at him at the door.

"There is a student duty charity event for our company University, so I take that one just let Brother who is present for donation," I explained to Kak Santi.

"Yes, the same will be Wiwin let me donate the same others," said brother Santi immediately left me and went down to the 1st floor. I took the drop-off and it turned out that there was ready for Arya and Alan's team and the asset office staff but Alan didn't come.

"If I could, I'd be there."

Santi said that when the car carrying the group will leave. Seen Kak Arya and bang Riko come with the company car. I waved my hand and nodded my head seeing them all depart.

******

I turned to the right side when the door was knocked and it turned out that Miko was standing in front of him with a smile.

"Not to the show at the hotel ahead?" ask her while sitting next to me.

"A little while, it's still an hour away" I replied.

Miko sat down and leaned her body.

"Capek huh?" ask me and he just nodded.

"How many people are receiving student duties anyway? I'm going to Jakarta next week to be asked to provide short practical materials for prospective technicians."

Miko told me next week's schedule when I gave her a canned drink.

"really?"

"You wanna come?"

"I want to go home, miss Papa and Mama" I replied as I sat in front of her.

"Just procrastinate, we're on holiday with Wiwin and Alan" he said.

"Or if you need to take Lisa," continued Miko tried hard so I would come along.

Lisa who was just staring at the laptop directly looked at us.

"No, Lisa will be a statue to see Kak Miko and Kak Kia both an" said Lisa.

We laughed at Lisa's words.

"Have your father healed?"

"Lumayan Kak Miko, after the pen installation operation, Dad can move but still not be tired."

Lisa explains her father's circumstances when asked by Miko.

"Take care while you're around, no regrets later on" Miko suggested, smiling at Lisa.

"Thank you, brother."

"Not ready yet? Let's hurry up we've been waiting for."

Wiwin came directly to tell us to go to the event as soon as possible because the time is 15 minutes away and all the recipient participants are ready. This charity program is held every year during the new school year to help prospective students who are not able to be selected by the campus Academic team from Vocational schools with technology-based.

Working with one of the private banks, so every customer can participate to set aside a little funds to help their education smart and accomplished. One of them is the winner of the Indonesian robotics and hacking competition held by the company to attract the young generation in future technology.

***********

The four of us were already at the venue, I saw Beny bang from the plaza waving at us immediately quickly approaching us and allowing us to sit in the official row seats.

Miko, Alan and Bang Beny spoke seriously while Wiwin and I sat in the front row. Before long the three of them also sat in the front row following us. Miko smiled at me while sitting next to me because I had never been with Miko like this at our formal office.

The event has lasted about 1 hour but still description and welcome from various parties including charity sponsors. Sister Santi came through the side door and sat right next to me because Miko moved to the back so that Santi could sit down.

"Almost finished just a welcome from Beny bang alone again," I explained while looking at the exhausted Kak Santi.

"There are so many people who come and the heat is bad," he lamented while exhaling because of the achievement.

The event finished staying rest and eating, seen hotel buffet food themed area. Maybe the hotel also wants to introduce our regional food because there are some guests from outside the region and even abroad who participated in the robotic and hacking competition yesterday among them are from Singapore and Malaysia.

The five of us ate at one table after picking up food and saw Wiwin taking food for Alan they looked so friendly.

"Don't you want to get me food like that?"miko asked right next to my ear. I was so shocked that the plate in my hand almost slipped out of my hand.

"Shock it!"

I hit him on the shoulder and immediately walked towards the table, Sister Santi is already there. He looks tired because all day had to give a word of welcome at three corporate birthday events.

"After this I'm going home, so tired."

"How about we go for a walk?" ask Miko.

"You guys have fun, I want to go home" said Kak Santi while standing and saying goodbye to wanting to go home.

*******

"Where are we going?" I asked while in Miko's car. I did come home with Miko because she asked for company to buy something in the shopping center and when I asked her what the answer was secret.

"Hmm. just make me curious."

"Let's be more surprised" he said, focusing on driving.

The car stops during a scan of the car body and the valet boy hands over the ticket. Miko went straight up to the third-level parking lot right in front of Frank & co jewellers. I was shocked to immediately feel that Miko would buy something related to jewelry.

"Down yuk," he asked.

I just followed Miko quietly not asking anything. My heart why is so nervous so wrong because it wants to ask but is afraid.

Arriving in front of our shop was greeted by a smiling waiter telling us to come in.

"Want to find a wedding ring or a couple?" ask the waiter to Miko.

"You're looking for a necklace that suits my boyfriend" Miko replied as she looked at me.

I was so relieved that Miko wanted to give me a necklace instead of a ring. I don't know why at this time I'm not ready to have a very serious relationship because Miko also doesn't know all about me.

I'm interested in an Italian drawstring necklace with a sapphire blue-eyed flower pendant. Its appearance is very elegant even though it looks very simple. The waiter gave it to me and told me to try wearing it.

Miko looks busy choosing something at the end of the display glass cabinet. I tried to wear it was beautiful and I immediately liked this necklace.

"I want this one."

I smiled at Mikp as he walked up to me who was staring at the necklace on my neck.

"Relatedly? If we're sure we'll take that."

I nodded in excitement because it had been a long time since no one had given me such a special gift.

"Thank you" I whispered as Miko beside me still saw the necklace I had chosen.

"Not now, I want anything other than words."

I looked at him directly with a glare.

"Don't fuck around" I threatened and Miko just smiled.

"You want to use it immediately is also okay," said the waiter to us.

"Wait here, I'll pay."

I saw Miko at the cashier, I waited in front still holding the necklace we had just bought. Before long Miko came up with a small paper bag and we continued on our way. Miko from earlier wanted to take me to a friend's cafe because Miko wanted to eat pancakes with maple jam and try matcha coffee.

*********

Arriving at the cafe, Miko's friend was waiting in front while allowing us to enter in a special room . How shocked I was when I entered the room full of pink roses arranged in such a way that it looks like a flower garden.

I was amazed by the surprise after surprise that made Miko to close my mouth so as not to shout for joy. My tears to the point of dripping because touched mixed happily. Miko was the first person to do this in my life.

I never imagined Miko to be so romantic even though her words were often joking and not serious. I looked at her and hugged her tightly, Miko smiled back at my embrace.

"You are special to me Kia" he whispered, wiping away my tears.

I looked at him while nodding still feeling like I was dreaming that all this was done for me.

"I also want to give you a gift, close your eyes" I said softly.

Miko looked shocked to close her eyes. He suddenly opened his eyes again and picked up something in his pocket. It turned out to be a breath freshener and sprayed into his mouth. I immediately laughed seeing what Miko was doing while hitting her.

"What are you thinking" I said feeling ashamed of myself.

"Okay, I'm ready there's no one just the two of us in this room."

"Not so."

"Come on," he persuaded while closing his eyes.

I then took a deep breath and lightly touched Miko's cheek.

"Have you? Just that?"

I pushed him and sat down on the chair near me. The waiter came to take our order, Miko ate pancakes casually while telling her about her meeting with her stepmother who really pleased her. I'm happy because Miko has been able to reunite with her family.

After I finished eating the dishes I saw the day started at night, I meant to go home because I was tired. A day with office activities and with Miko for a walk, it feels like you want to rest.

Unexpectedly Miko thrust out a small box and opened it to look like a beautiful one-eyed ring while saying quietly.

"Will you marry me?"

My heart was like it was being hit, not expecting Miko to propose to me at this moment. I am still not ready to get married and confused as to what to answer. My chest was pounding with fear, the trauma appeared instantly and made me restless to the point of breaking into a cold sweat.

"Miko.. I beg you not now, I'm not ready."

"When else is Kia? I think this is the best time."

"Don't now, please," I asked as I stood wanting to go home.

"I'm coming home now, tomorrow we continue, please Miko."

Miko was so confused to see me agitated and scared like she wanted to get away from him. Miko quickly held me down but I brushed off her hand and ran to the front of the cafe directly calling a taxi.

Miko was still stupefied at the place of not expecting my reaction to be like that. He was still shocked when I was in front of him and I was already in a taxi. He rushed back inside to finish the payment and directly spurred the car after me.

***********

In the midst of confusion that hit Miko so sorry, but she intended to surprise me but instead made me think back to the trauma first. Miko became upset with herself and even more disappointed when she lost the taxi I met.

"Give me Kia's home address now" she told Wiwin on the phone. Indeed Miko did not know where my house was so she had to ask Wiwin.

"What's wrong? You guys quarreling?"

"More than that" Miko replied.

Miko parked the car at random and ran towards my door. Hurriedly squeezed the bell in front and tried to call me but it went unanswered. Miko tried to wait in front for 5 minutes assuming maybe I hadn't come yet.

It has been 10 minutes Miko tried to wait but there was no sign of the door being opened and the phone was not answered making Miko panic. He tried calling Wiwin once more when I was with Wiwin but there was no answer.

"Give me Kia's door password," Miko said impatiently.

"Kia's birthday."

Miko directly pressed the number and the door opened. Miko went straight into the house, she shouted out my name very anxiously while opening the doors in the house one by one. Miko also looked into the kitchen where she still didn't find me.

Miko ran towards my room quickly opened it and it turned out that I wasn't there either. Miko intended to search upstairs but stopped her steps hearing the sound of the shower being turned on. Miko then thought that I was taking a bath so she waited in front of the dressing table while breathing in because she was feeling very anxious.

But it's been more than 30 minutes I haven't been out and the shower still rings. Miko directly knocked on the bathroom door while calling my name but there was no answer from inside. Back Miko felt anxious if something happened to me.

"Kia.. until three times I call you not to come out, I will break the door," he threatened.

Miko was impatient again, her heart was very afraid that something bad might happen. He immediately broke down the door and how surprised he was when he saw my situation when I just sat quietly under the shower with the full clothes I was wearing when eating with Miko last afternoon.

Just sitting crying and hugging my legs with shivering body because almost an hour more I was under the shower that lit and did not move.

"Don't be like this Kia."

Miko immediately hugged me and turned off the shower, she did not care if her body was wet with water. Miko just hugged me who looked scared not even daring to look at Miko's face. I just looked down and cried with a wet body and empty eyes, the trauma made me very afraid to accept Miko's invitation to marry. Turns out it hasn't healed properly because it still makes me like this.

"I won't force you anymore Kia, tell me when you're ready then I'll propose to you, I promise to wait for him so I beg you not to do this" Miko whispered as she hugged me.
