Silence of a Son-in-law

DSM-40

"I'm sorry? Why are you apologizing, Ira? Are you going to reject me?" ask Mr. Danu while shaking my arms.

My lips are pissed off. "Is Mr Danu among the impatient?" my sarcasm.

Looks like Mr. Danu understands what I mean. The man immediately lowered both his hands from my arms. Then I cleared my throat and apologized. In my heart, I laughed hard. Mr. Danu looks funny if you're in a situation like that.

"nz, Ira. I need your answer, not your apology."

I see Mr. Danu sighing long. While I was holding back the laughter. My God, it's adorable for my boss on this one.

"So, gini Mr. Danu. I have not yet decided what I will take. But after thinking carefully. I'd like to apologize to you. Sorry ...." I purposely stopped my words to inhale deeply. At once see the look on Mr. Danu's face that looks funny.

Mr. Danu looked impatient, but he just kept quiet and waited for the continuation of my words.

"I'm sorry, sir. If I get married later, I can't be a good wife for you. Or even I can't directly give you a descendant," I said softly.

Shadow of the past. The failure to build a household with Mas Ashraf made me hesitate when I wanted to open a new page. However, in the end I convinced myself not to lose to the circumstances. I must prove to Mas Asrhaf that I am well and can live better after the divorce from the man.

"Ira, does that mean you're receiving my proposal?" ask Mr. Danu repeating.

I looked at his face that looked hopeful. Then nodded slowly after. Thankfulness was heard from Mr. Danu's lips. In fact, the man immediately thanked me.

"We can build a household together. Complement each other. If we get married later, I won't be a good husband to you, but we can learn together." Mr. Danu pulled both of my hands and held them tightly.

"Are you sure of what Mr Danu said?" tanyaku. Although in my heart I can already feel that Mr. Danu is a responsible man. It was very different from Ashraf.

"Good, Sir. May we join hands to build the household ark" I said with a smile.

***

Without feeling it, a month passed. Tomorrow is the day that Mr. Danu and I will have a wedding. All of this is intentionally accelerated. I can't wait to hear Mr. Danu say a kabul Ijab over me and we live happily together forever.

Hearing I was about to marry Mr. Danu, Elmira was the most enthusiastic person. In fact, he deliberately took a week off just to keep me company. I'm happy about that too.

"Ira, did you call Mas Ashraf to say that you were getting married?" ask Elmira.

I shook my head quickly. "Of course not. Why did I contact him. After all, he's no longer that important person to me."

"But, Ira. It seems like Mas Ashraf knows you're getting married tomorrow" Elmira said.

I looked at my best friend suspiciously. "Did you tell Mas Ashraf, Mir?" manya suspect.

Elmira immediately raised both fingers of the peace sign. "Of course not. I could've sworn I never said anything to her."

"Then why do you know?" I still have suspicions.

Elmira did not answer. He gave me his phone and showed me a message from Mas Asrhaf. Maybe because I blocked the number, so he called Elmira.

Mir, I heard Ira's getting married tomorrow. Is that true? Please, tell Ira that I still love her and I don't want her to marry any man. Only I can have it especially now that I am divorced from Yuni.
