Strunggle Love
The Power of Handsome
She smiled as after signing the letter, her eyes endlessly staring at me, "Then, what do you want?" ask me who still wants to know, because I do not want to owe anything, to anyone, I want to immediately pay off everything.
"There's one thing I want" she said, grabbing my hand, "Tell me." I was so astonished to see his fickle expression, who was actually the man before me.
"Senior, marry me, please," he said, drawing closer to me, kissing my hands gently, looking up at me with a cheerful, flowery face. The look in her eyes begged expectantly, whereas I could not believe the words that came out of her mouth, I was so ambiguous to hear a word marriage.
Huh!
I was very surprised by his request, it was very difficult to digest his words, "Me-married," I said in stammering, I really did not expect an unreasonable request. What he wants, the thing done by someone who used to always be in my heart, utters two sentences of shahada and the jihab qobul pledge before the ruler, the guardian and the witnesses.
"Your glimmer is not funny!" I stood back and forth away from Alex, how could I have done it, while my heart still felt that incision, "I'm serious," he replied with a look of a face that looked innocent, his eyes that implied sincerity, sometimes tear me.
"No!" I shouted I could not help the anger in my heart, "I will not marry you! In this day and age, no one is going to get married just by spending one night together," I wrote, rejecting Alex's request outright, I don't want to be in a relationship with anyone right now, even to forget about it I still can't, and now a stranger asks to marry him.
"Senior, it was obvious that you were the one who said you would do anything, even make a deal. You wrote with your own hands." His face lowered again, looking at the handwriting I had made, "Senior, are you playing me." His gaze turned blank, as if he did not accept my answer.
His face was slightly raised as if begging me, like a dog asking for a bone on his master, his face turned red, his eyes began to glaze over, Senior, you really - don't want me," he said in a soft voice, a slightly hoarse voice held back the cry.
"Wait, are you crying." I made sure her face that looked a little pale, the clear water droplets started flowing down her cheeks, "Senior," she called out sobbing.
"Don't cry Alex," I said trying to calm her down, only this time I saw a grown man seem to be crying in front of me.
"Senior, aren't you going to keep your word." Alex stared at me, with eyes filled with water. Even answering the question is so hard for me.
"I-I-a-I, I didn't say no, but …." I bowed before him, "What, senior wants to marry me," he said, now with a handsome face sparkling. If you look again, Alex is really my type, but it's impossible because his good looks can make my decision change like this.
"Senior." That loving look that I saw from her eyes, I unconsciously nodded my head. "Thank you Senior," he said, now hugging my body. I was really surprised. What I do. By just looking at his face, I can obey his wishes, whether this is called the power of handsome.

I came home in my car, I was very careful on the way to avoid the suspicions of the policemen on the road.
"Where's Ta from?" asked my father to surprise me, the father who was sitting reading the newspaper in front of the television, was surprised to see me just coming home, because unlike usual, I came home early.
"Eh, Dad. Here, just now from the house well," I replied lying, scratching my back head that did not feel itchy. I was really surprised by the voice of my father who suddenly greeted me. I'm not used to lying can't hide anything from dad.
"Friends, which friend? How come I just found out, you got a friend staying over?" asked the father who increasingly looks surprised, Because all this time I do not have close friends, because my nature is cold towards the surrounding, I only make friends as necessary with people who are mutually beneficial.
"Ah, that. College buddies first, yeah." I lied all the time, tried to cover it up, all this time I never let dad down, but this time I really felt guilty. I've started to learn to lie, and I've also become a wild woman who doesn't deserve my father's last name.
"Come here, I want to talk to you for a minute." Dad called me, patting the sofa next to him. Hinted for me to sit there, "What's up?" asked when I was next to her, a look of worry on her face that had started to wrinkle.
"Dad knows, you're in a state of disappointment, but Amerta, father advised. You have to continue your life, your career is good, your future is long. Calm down, everything's gonna be okay." Dad's gaze to my eyes, from the first only youth who always supported me, gave me the motivation to always continue my life, comforting me when I felt alone.
"Thank you, dad." That's all that came out of my lips, I didn't know what to say to the strong figure, who always calmed me down. I really love him.
The figure who was in the moment felt he had no one, even he gave his title behind my name. Amerta Ningrum Defanya, I am very proud of that name.
She also always supported me with patience, to be able to change me who is a street child into a career woman who has a position as Manager in a well-known company in this city.
Everyone always thought that the position I was in was because of my father, Farhan Darco Defanya. Who now serves as a Director in the same company as me.
Of course their assumption was not right, I felt worthy of the position I now have, because for many years I hardly had time to rest, I'm trying really hard for my position right now.
Mr. Farhan, was a good boss and father to me, although he was not my real father, but he made me like a royal princess in a palace-like house.
At the age of just six, I was adopted by them in a narrow alley when I was judged for stealing a loaf of bread in a small tavern. It was then that the figure of the grown man I now call father came to my rescue, giving me the love and warmth of a family.
With his kindness during this time, I do not want to disappoint all his sacrifices, I will make proud of every achievement I achieved, like his being a manager here, he said, I've come a step closer to him, I'll make him proud of me.
My beautiful face, my beautiful well-groomed body, my Intelligent otaku, my decent job title and also the noble title behind my name, made everyone envious of a foster child like me.
