PS 56 - Finished

I'm surprised I didn't play see who I almost hooked up to. He is not Bang Haidar, he is ... Ghifarians. The man whose presence I tried to ignore in the head.

The man smiled at me.

"Assalamualaikum, Ara." His regards.

"Vaalaikumsalam. K-kok you, uh ... Is it here?" Tanyaku.

I'm confused myself, ten years ago we were still queuing. Now it feels awkward considering our age is no longer young.

Ghifari smiled at me and got up from her seat, "We're talking outside huh?"

I nodded my head, not daring to look at him. Ghifari took me for a walk first, I was nervous half to death, I tried to open my phone and saw a message coming in.

Don't be sad anymore, my sister.

The message was from Bang Haidar. I can't get back at him even though I'm so curious why he did this to me.

After being outside the cinema, Ghifari walked beside me.

"How are you?" Ask Ghifari.

I bit my lips for a while trying to calm myself down because there were so many rumbling in my chest.

"Alhamdulillah well, m. .. are you alone?"

"I'm much better today."

"I heard Aunt Farha ..." I can't go on.

"Yes. My mom doesn't exist."

I glanced at Ghifari's face and started to feel bad because I asked not knowing the place. Ghifari smiled but his eyes clearly showed that he was still feeling very lost.

"I'm so sorry. Sorry to make you sad."

"Negkapa. Wanna eat? I think there's a lot we have to obrolin."

"But, Bang Haidar?"

"He's home."

"Where do you know?"

"I who terrorized him earlier, ask him to tell you where you are. He looks like he intentionally attacked me, making my plans messy to pick you up. I finished everything."

"What's ready?"

My heart is beating so hard. The man beside me smiled softly at me, I hurriedly cast a glance in the other direction.

"I'm happy to see you again. You're beautiful wearing a gini hijab." He said with a smile.

I suddenly bit my own lips withstanding the smile I was about to let go, but I soon realized something, Ghifari was going to propose to another woman.

"Thank you, but don't praise me anymore. I'm afraid your future wife's feelings are hurt." I said.

Ghifari stopped her steps and looked at me. I looked at him for a while and threw a glance in the other direction.

"My future wife?"

"Yes, Bu Lurah's son."

"Mother Lurah's son?" Ghifari held a smile. I'm getting confused.

"You're laughing at me, yeah, mm..." I doubt I'll start saying his name.

"Bang Haidar said I want to marry Bu Lurah's son?" Ask Ghifari.

"Yes, Bang Haidar said that, m.." It's hard for me to call it. I was confused to have to call him with the frills of 'Mas, Big Brother, Brother, or name'.

"Ghifariiii!"

Ghifari replied that someone had shouted to Ghifari, a man had come to Ghifari.

"Lo's gapain here? Uh, who is this?" Asked the man after a row of guys with Ghifari.

I smiled and nodded slowly to make it look polite.

"MasyaAllah, very beautiful, Ghif. Sodara Lo, Ghif? Real pretty. Make me fix."

"Don't macem-macem."

"Well, you can't macem-macem, ten years he's waiting for you, you're even here with another girl. Hi, my name is Ilman." Said Ilman extending a hand towards me.

I put my hands together in front of my chest, "Zahra."

Ilman looked at me, but it wasn't long since Ghifari hurriedly covered Ilman's face until I smiled because his piercing was so funny. "Don't look at him! He's not mahram lo!"

"Yes, yes, ribet lo ah."

I glanced at Ghifari, I was confused as to what to do, "He's Ilman, my friend, Son Bu Lurah. The only child is Ms. Lurah." Ghifari.

I was shocked to death, while Ghifari in his place chuckled.

"So?" I don't believe it.

"Yes, you lied to your brother, Ra." Ghifari.

"Astaghfirullah, Brother Haidar." Ringisk. "I'm sorry, Mom, I don't know." I said to Ghifari.

At once Ghifari looked a little surprised, but then Ghifari's smile grew just like that. Instantly I realized. "Eh, I mean ... "

"Mas is good too. I like it." Ghifari.

Ilman turned to Ghifari and turned to me, "Wait. You growenan good with girls? Uh, don't-don't he .., Oh okay-okay, I'm home." Ilman chuckled and immediately waved his hand after saying his greeting without waiting for us to finish returning his greetings.

I remember what Ghifari said. I was so embarrassed, it was appropriate that he held back his laughter when I said that he wanted to marry Mother Lurah's son.

"We eat first?" Ask.

I just nodded my head. Then he took me to a restaurant. After eating, you are silent for a while.

"Your days there must have been hard, Ra?"

"It's hard, but thank God I have good friends there."

"Thank God then. Can I ask you something?"

I nodded my head. "Can."

"Why don't you allow Bang Haidar to ask about your condition?"

I was silent for a moment. I did forbid Bang Haidar to explain my condition to Ghifari, because in the early years, my body always had bruises because it protected some prisoners in the detention house.

"I'm just afraid you're worried."

Ghifari breathed. "You should know that I'm more worried without getting any news from you. It felt so hard for years to wait. But thank God you can be here again, we can be together."

"I've kept all my promises, Ra. Now I want you to keep your promise." Ghifari.

Ghifari immediately thrust out a velvet box that he had opened. I saw a ring there. What a beautiful ring.

"A-wouldn't you be ashamed of my status which ..."

"No. There is no shame whatsoever. I don't care what they say. I just care about you. Marry me, huh, Ra?" Ask Ghifari.

A tear just fell, and I wiped it off with my right hand, "You should have looked for one younger than me."

"You're 30, Ra. You are young too."

"You can find something more beautiful."

"I've traveled the world but the most beautiful is just you."

"I should have found a better one."

"Nobody's better than you, Ra."

I fell silent, "When you can find a woman whose past is not as dark as mine."

"I don't need the past, Ra. I need a future and it's just you."

I looked at Ghifari trying to find seriousness in those eyes. And I did find that he was very serious.

"For ten years, my race has not changed the least with you, Ra. It proves that I really love you. You feel the same way, right?"

I also cried through my tears. What he said is true. Because not only he who still feels love, but he also feels the same thing.

"Why are you crying, Ra? W-Do you have another man?" Ask Ghifari.

I can only wipe my tears. How could I possibly get a man in the rutan? He is just there.

I shook my head.

"Trus?" Ask Ghifari.

I looked into Ghifari's eyes, "Are you better than Bang Haidar?"

Ghifari's smile expanded, he immediately took his phone and thrust it towards me, I saw a photo of Ghifari and Bang Haidar being turned into a wallpaper. It makes me unable to hide my smile.

"Where? Escape right?" Ask Ghifari.

Suddenly someone took Ghifari's cell phone from my hand. I also looked up to try to protest. But there was already Bang Haidar.

"Lo hasn't escaped! You think I'm a girl what?" Ask Bang Haidar.

"Bang, come on, you promised to help me." Ghifari.

"If you want to go home. Yuk, Ra, we're home." Said Bang Haidar who immediately took me home.

"okay, Bang. I'll be home tonight."

***

My heart was beating so fast, I didn't know if Ghifari was really going to come to my family or not, but obviously I wasn't nervous about dying.

I watched the gate from my second-floor balcony and I immediately saw a car coming into the house and I saw that Ghifari got out of his car.

I went straight into my heart room completely beating loudly.

Toktoktoks!

I walked to the door and opened it

"Son, there's Ghifari, you get ready and come down, baby." Said mom.

"Good, Ma." My speech.

"The pretty dress." Mom tried to tease me.

"Mrs ..." Whiney.

Mama chuckled and went downstairs. I immediately got ready. I changed my clothes and polished my face a little to make it look fresher.

Afterwards, I went downstairs and joined my family below. When I came down, Ghifari could not take his eyes off me until I felt ashamed and afraid that something was wrong with my clothes.

"Son, sit next to my mom and dad." Father said.

I nodded my head and sat next to my mom and dad

"Papa, before Ghifari wanted to thank all the kindness of papa to Ghifari and mama. Papa also never differentiated Ghifari with Bang Haidar. Pa, before that, Ghifari came to this house as a papa child. However, today Ghifari comes to this house as a man who wants to ask for papa's daughter. Ghifari wants papa to be willing to give responsibility for his daughter to Ghifari. Ghifari wants to propose to Ara as Ghifari's wife." Ghifari.

I looked down, not knowing what to say and how.

"Ghifari, you've been considered as papa's own son. Papa never differentiates you with Haidar or Ara. As your father, you also know your nature inside and out, so you have absolutely no doubt about you. Papa is very confident and confident that you can keep Ara in his place" said my father. He even looks teary.

I rubbed my father's arm trying to strengthen.

"But all decisions are with Ara, son. You can ask him directly. Please ask." Said papa.

Ghifari nodded her head, this time she looked at me, I could feel that look even though she was down, "Ara, will you be my wife?"

I'm speechless. My heart is beating so hard.

"How, Son? There has come a man who is very familiar and also a son papa wants to make you his wife." asked Papa.

I'm speechless. Everyone looked at me with a look waiting for an answer.

I nodded his head, "I'm ready, papa."

"Alhamdulillah."
