Shackles of Love

47. Thanksgiving

On Monday morning, Keisha started working as usual, even though her body and heart were very tired. It is necessary to keep busy to forget the events he experienced with Arfian. Fortunately, the project handled by Keisha desperately needed his concentration so that he could momentarily forget about Arfian.

Likewise with Arfian who increasingly immersed himself in his work, both work in the family company and the company he built himself. Within that week, Arfian was completely focused on just his work.

************

It did not feel like 1 month had passed since the events of Arfian's rejection by Keisha.

This Saturday, the Arrasyid family visited the Wirahadikusuma family residence for the 4th monthly celebration of the second grandson Farid and Maya. One of her twins, Arfin, who is married to Prita, is waiting for her second child.

Arfin and Prita got married 4 years ago. After Prita graduated from college, he applied for a job at the Arfian company as an interior designer. The seeds of love grew between Prita and Arfin after Arfin was given full authority to manage the company founded by Arfian. The intensity of the frequent encounters between the two makes the seeds of love grow and develop so they decide to get married four years ago. Their first daughter is now 3 years old and now they are waiting for their second child.

Although until now Keisha does not want to meet with Arfian because he is still upset, inevitably Keisha must be present at the four-monthly thanksgiving event of his best friend, Prita.

At 10am, Keisha and her family arrived at the Wirahadikusuma family home, where they were greeted by Farid and Maya. Farid and Surya shake hands with each other and embrace the typical old friend while Arini and Maya kiss each other cheeks left and right. Keisha kisses the back of Farid and Maya's hands.

“Tante listen, this sweet Auntie kid is very busy with a new project. Don't be too busy with work, Kei. When do you want to be impregnated as his daughter-in-law Auntie?” maya asked as she hugged and kissed Keisha's left and right cheeks.

Keisha simply replied with a smile on his lips.

“Tau nih, my future son-in-law also seems to be getting busy, May.” Arini's voice was followed by Arini and Maya's laughter.

“Tan, Kei would like to see Prita first.” Keisha finds herself in the house looking for her best friend Prita. He was ashamed to listen to the ravings of his Mama and Arfian Mami who were getting excited just to match him and Arfian.

Keisha searched for Prita in the house, after wandering around the spacious Wirahadikusuma family home, finally Keisha found Prita who was busy sleeping Ammara, his first child in the room.

“Ara, beautiful aunt ponakan already want bobo huh?” Keisha enters Ammara's room while kissing her best friend's son who is almost asleep.

Hearing Keisha's noise, Ammara did not close her eyes, the cute child opened her eyes when she felt someone showering her with kisses and hugs.

“Basic aunt durh*ka, ponakan already want to brim, even disturbed. It's hard to get this kid to sleep, Kei.” Prita was upset.

“Let me the nemenin Ara main.” Sahut Keisha while holding me and kissing Ammara.

Prita could only sigh violently. It was difficult for him to try to put his son to sleep, almost his efforts succeeded, his enemy's friend came to disturb.

Because drowsiness had attacked Ammara, just held for a while by Keisha, the toddler was asleep again in Keisha's arms.

Keisha moves Ammara to her bed slowly so as not to disturb her sleep. After successfully moving Ammara onto her bed, Keisha sat on the sofa in the room.

“You didn't say you were pregnant again, Ta.”

“Iya sorry. I am not ready to tell you. I know you're having more business, I'm forgetting to make this happy news.” Prita.

“Basic friend lakn*t...” levy Keisha annoyed.

“How are you doing with Brother Fian?” ask Prita.

“Do not know.” Answer Keisha.

“I was horrified from Mami, you went to the beach alone with Brother Fian. What was the result of your holiday?” prita asked more and more curious.

“Makin runyam.” Answer Keisha briefly.

“What is runyam? You don't accept her love statement, Fian?”

“I'm still confused and it looks like it will take some time. Many questions I have not found the answer to.” Answer Keisha.

“Which question is Kei?” ask Prita to investigate.

“Yah just for example why Kak Fian broke up with his girlfriend first. Then why suddenly Brother Fian can be my love. Continue..many questions.” Answer Keisha ketus.

“Why don't you ask directly to Brother Fian?”

“But I haven't wondered, the guy's been hustling. He's angry dong gegara I don't answer his love statement. The basis is that he is the most beautiful human in the world.” Keisha grew even more upset given the anger Arfian inflicted on her.

“Maybe not angry but disappointed to be exact. Banyangin aja Kei, he waited for you 10 years, right after you even cuekin.” Prita tried to defend her sister-in-law.

“Ah, I just mengdam love to him 10 years too, when I realized love, he made my heart hurt.” lamented Keisha.

“So the story wants revenge?” ask Prita nosy.

“Not revenge too times. I just asked him to wait a minute. I have to consult with my heart and mind. Can't dong after my 10-year effort to be free and try to cultivate hidden love for 20 years, directly poked to nerima love him.” Keisha.

“You will just say the same Brother Fian to wait for you for a while, do not need to immediately refuse it.” Prita is still trying to defend Arfian.

“Udah I saidain Prita Ammara's mother is cute and funny, I've asked Brother Fian to wait a while. Eeeeh, he's angry. How I didn't try.” Said Keisha while pinching Prita's cheeks that began to stew with anxiety.

“Sakiiiiiiit, Keisha...” Prita.

Keisha closed her mouth holding back a laugh.

After hearing Keisha and Prita's conversation, Arfian was pensive, he felt that he was wrong because he had misinterpreted Keisha's intentions. After this, Arfian is determined to apologize to Keisha and continues to fight for her love.

Someone knocked on the door of Ammara's room quietly.

“Haloooo everyone...” Excite Alena.

“Lena Keisha and Prita shouted in a stifled voice for fear of Ammara waking up.

The three of them embraced like friends who had been separated for a long time, but only 1 month ago they gathered together.

“How are you doing with Brother Fian, Kei?” alena asked unceasingly stalely after they unraveled their tight embrace.

“No comment.” Answer Keisha briefly.

Alena is the head of Keisha.

“Basic female kej*m yes. Is there no more in your heart, Brother Fian?” alena asked to defend her cousin's sister.

“This is nothing everyone is kok belain the Arfian anyway. It was Prita who belain now you, Len.” Keisha's grumbling.

“Emang in Prita belain how?” ask Alena, curious.

“Tau ah.” Keisha grunts annoyed.

Prita and Alena close her mouth tightly for fear of their blaring laughter waking Ammara.

“Basic friends less aj*r. Not his own best friend who was defended, this even mengebela others” Keisha again grumbling.

“Not that, Kei. We're just looking at Fian's brother who's been suffering all this time. You do not know how he has been in condition for 10 years waiting for you without clarity.” said Alena.

“You know how I suffered 10 years to organize my broken heart.” Keisha defended himself.

“Yes, we know you two are suffering. That's why we want you both to be happy.” Prita said as she hugged Keisha's shoulder.

“Hmm...”.

“Udah deh bosen talking about problems I keep. How are your students, Len?” Keisha turned the question to Alena.

“Yes that's it. Make the heart of senewen.” Answer Alena briefly.

“Yes, you must be patient with those students. They are children who still need guidance.” Keisha tries to encourage Alena.

“If make it so late to the tubs anyway already outrageous, the basic songong student was.” Annoyed Alena.

“Wait-wait a minute. Looks like there will be an exciting story nih.” Seru Prita jahil.

“Who is he, Len?” ask Keisha curious.

“That's not to say rich jerky student he. Make stress.” Alena answered riddled with puzzles.

“You must tell us, Len.” Prita Resolute.

“No cover up or maen skip-skip an.” Keisha added.

“Yes that is, there is a student that I guided the script. But naudzubillah, his song is not kelulungan. I knew that I was his teaching supervisor, eeeh he dared to continue the debate. Less aj*r really students. I hate her so much. If not for me being his teaching teacher already I gamparin tuh orang” Obviously Alena full of emotions.

“The student is male or female?” ask Keisha.

“Laki.”

“Awas loh be careful, later than hate even be love.” Said Prita.

“Iiiiiih amit-amit deh.” Alena picked up while tapping her knuckles onto the table.

“Do not do that, Len. Later you hit the stone, even love is very same student.” Sela Keisha's.

Keisha and Prita broke down and could no longer hold back their laughter.

Oaaaa….

Ammara awoke to the startling laughter of her mother and her tantrums. With reflexes, Prita patted Ammara's back slowly so that the toddler could fall asleep again.

“Get the two of you out, aunt durh*ka!” Prita evicts Keisha and Alena from her son's room.

Keisha and Alena came out of the room while holding back a laugh.
