Taint

Half Sweet Half Tense

Nadhea's white Avanza car stopped right in the parking area of Kuta Beach. The owner came down and showed off a charming smile, as if showing people around him that he was currently happy.

Kaivan and Nadhea, after touring the shopping center and buying various items, now both stop at Kuta Beach. They want to enjoy the charm of tourism while waiting for the beauty of the sunset that has been famous to foreign countries.

Kaivan and Nadhea were walking along a stretch of sand that seemed to sparkle due to the radiance of the sun, understand this time the new clock shows the number three.

The presence of Kaivan and Nadhea seized the attention of many pairs of eyes, even foreign tourists also stared and praised in their minds. Both are compatible. In addition to beautiful and handsome, the clothes worn also look similar—short jeans and white T-shirts without motive. This time, Nadhea's face slightly polished mekap, her ears decorated with long earrings, while the hair was left unraveled and meriap toyed with wind.

"Be there yuk, thirsty!" bring Kaivan. He pointed at the very end of the cafe. In fact, it was not thirst that drove him to stop there, but rather the most important intention that had to be resolved immediately.

"Come on." Nadhea did not refuse. In fact, when Kaivan tightened his grip, Nadhea was silent and just looked down embarrassed.

Before long, Kaivan and Nadhea were already sitting in one of the cafe chairs. Nadhea opened the conversation with the topic of Kuta Beach while waiting for orders, while Kaivan immediately reached the ring box that had been tucked in a pants pocket.

Actually, it's more romantic to wait for dusk. Set in sand and waves decorated with orange rays, of course very charming. It was just like Kaivan's expectations before. However, I don't know why I can't wait for the sun to set. It was as if there was a strong urge forcing him to do so now. Is it a good sign or is it the opposite? I don't know, only God knows.

"Nadhea!" Kaivan clasped Nadhea's hand with his left.

"Yes." Yeah."

"So morning, I talked to Om Wira. He approved my intention. Now, there's only your answer I'm waiting for. Nadhea, I love you. Will you be my lover and marry me?" Kaivan thrusts a red velvet box and shows a ring decorated with sapphire blue gemstones.

Nadhea gaped in disbelief. Never thought Kaivan would give her a ring. Apparently, it was as serious as Kaivan's feelings towards him.

"This ... this ... Bang Kai, are you serious?"

Kaivan smiled, "Of course."

"With my circumstances like this?"

"What is it like?" Kaivan cupped Nadhea's cheeks. "For me, you are very special. You're the best woman I've ever met. I love you so much, "he continued.

"I'm not a virgin. I'm not young, I'm almost 29 and I'm older than you. Besides, I used to take the drug KB. If it makes it hard or even impossible to get pregnant, how?" Nadhea spoke with anxious expectation. Afraid that Kaivan would suddenly retreat. Just to be quiet, Nadhea was more afraid, because it would be worse if it became a problem later on—after everything had gone far.

"Virgin or not, it doesn't matter to me. The glory of a woman is not based on the hymen. About age, we are only three years adrift, and in terms of face you even look younger than me. Whether you are pregnant or not, it is not a problem either. I do not demand that you give birth to my flesh and blood, I surrender by the will of God. Nadhea, no matter if you can have children or not, I still love you" Kaivan replied with a fixed gaze.

"But____"

"If that is what you lack, let me complete it with my advantages. Then, complete my shortcomings with your advantages," concluded Kaivan.

Nadhea was moved by Kaivan's words. It was unexpected that the man who became his idol long ago, now sat in front of him while expressing his feelings. It still feels like a dream.

"Nadhea, do you have the answer?" reproof Kaivan.

Nadhea nodded, then took the jewel ring from its place, then grabbed Kaivan and placed the ring there.

"Wear, huh?" Nadhea bit her lower lip, between embarrassment and disgust.

"Same___"

Kaivan breathed a sigh of relief. With an ever-expanding smile, she grabbed Nadhea's hand and pinned the ring on her ring finger.

"You ... love me too, right?" goda Kaivan's.

"Is that questionable?"

"Of course."

"You already know the answer, even long before this," said Nadhea with cheeks that increasingly meet.

"Too far away, the fear has faded. I need an answer now" Kaivan said.

Nadhea laughed softly, "I've answered."

"Just be willing to marry, no word of love. Come on, say it now!" persuade Kaivan. He was happy to see Nadhea blushing even more.

"I love you too, Bang Kaivan Diratama Alshaki." Nadhea spoke while glancing at him.

Inwardly, Kaivan cheered cheerfully. So, without caring about other visitors, also with the waiter who deliberately stood a little far away so as not to disturb, Kaivan grasped Nadhea's hand and kissed her gently.

It was as if there was an electric current stinging Nadhea when Kaivan's wet lips touched right on her skin. Slowly, the sting turned into a warm feeling that spread throughout his body.

"Thank you, dear."

The second kiss accompanied by a melodious sentence, suddenly made Nadhea's feelings more and more unfazed.

No time Nadhea gave a response, suddenly her phone rang, it turned out Prawira who called. Nadhea answered him without moving in front of Kaivan.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Pa."

"What!" nadhea shouted after hearing the explanation from her father.

"Darling, what's wrong?" ask Kaivan quickly. He knows a call from his future in-laws is not good news. The reason, Nadhea immediately shouted and the look of her face turned tense.

"We have to go home!" nadhea said as she moved.

"What's wrong?" Kaivan asked again while following Nadhea's steps.

However, Kaivan's curiosity never ends. Nadhea accelerated, even half-run.

"Nadhea, at least tell me what's going on? Wira is fine, right?" kaivan asked as they arrived in the car.

Nadhea wiped away a drop of tears that started to fall, "Papa is good, but Luna."

Kaivan's movement stopped for a moment. He looked at Nadhea who was dropping more and more tears. What happened to Luna? Why did it happen when she and Nadhea had just been in an official relationship? Whatdoes thatmean?

Seriate...
