Thank You for True Love

10 IS NOT A DREAM PROPOSAL

On the way home, we were still silent. Adit focused on driving his car quietly, but I don't know what was on his mind.

Looks like our minds are still both struggling on the topic at Adit's house earlier.

I was the same, I didn't think we were talking about this very important thing, which is marriage.

"Darling.."

Half an hour drive, Adit finally made a sound. In my heart I was relieved Adit did not linger silent.

"Yes..?"

Not yet I closed my mouth, Adit suddenly grasped my right hand, without looking at me. The view is still forward, stay focused on driving.

I felt his hand grip tighter, making the pounding on my chest tighter.

I looked at Adit's face as closely as possible, I smiled looking at him. Enjoying the curves of his face, strands by strands of his slightly ruffled hair, the look of his sharp eyes stared at the streets.

My heart became warm just by looking at him. I returned the grip of his hand, trying to flow the same warmth for him. I hold my hand while enjoying the look on his face.

Adit smiled, although his gaze was still straight ahead. It seemed, that smile was implying a happiness.

"Thank you, baby. I need this grip to strengthen my heart.." Speak very softly.

Adit let go of his grasp, then he pulled the car over and stopped it right in a row of green rice fields that were slapped on my left side.

Finished shutting off the engine and opening the window, she clasped my hand again and looked at me with a shady look.

"Honey, it feels like just yesterday we had this relationship. And suddenly today we've started talking about marriage.."

I smiled and returned to his grasp.

"To be honest, I was really surprised by Dit.."

Adit's right hand tidied up some of the hair that covered my face due to the sweeping wind from outside the car window.

"I'm surprised too, baby. What's more, now I'm the one who has to tell your parents this.."

A long sigh came out of Adit's mouth. I know, he's upset, maybe scared, or hesitant. I feel it too.

"I'm with you.." I tried to convince her. A smile appeared on his lips.

Not far from us, we saw a tavern. Adit got out of the car, walked towards the tavern.

Before long he came back with a few bottles of cold drink in his hand and gave one bottle to me.

Orange juicing..! This time I smiled not at Adit, but because of a bottle of orange juice in my hand and an old memory of it..

My Love Starts With A Bottle of Orange Juice, like that if it's an FTV title, hahaa...

Or, Romance In A Bottle of Orange Juice, hihii..

"Darling.." Adit's voice is breaking my fantasy, returning to the real world.

"If your parents agree with my parents' wishes, how do we..?" Our conversation is getting serious again.

"How do you want..??" I asked him a question, my habit.

"As soon as this turns out, our parents are responding to our relationship. I haven't even prepared myself to face your father and talk about our marriage.."

This time I saw Adit's face was really tense. There is fear and fear there.

"The one I know is not this kind of Adit.."

I tried to find the right word to restore her confidence.

"Adit that I love, is Adit who can always master the situation, it does not lose his mind to keep the atmosphere alive.."

"The one I love, is Adit in charge, Adit who keeps his love for only one person in his heart, and he can definitely win that love in his own way..!!"

"Be the Adit that I love, dear.."

Whether it comes from where my courage is, until the words love and affection are spoken just like that represent the taste in my heart.

I survived not to shed tears. Right now I just want to share the power for Adit, not increase his burden with my whiny nature. I know, Adit could at least see me crying.

Adit was stunned in disbelief to hear me express my feelings. Before I admitted, I never said love or affection to him. But this time I know, right now Adit needs that..!!!

"Say one more time, dear..! I didn't hear wrong, did I..?" His love is desperate.

I smiled, I pulled her hands together, I held her tight.

"Not just once, I'll keep saying it, if it makes you calmer and always gives you strength.."

"I love you, baby. So don't disappoint me..!"

With just one sentence of my love, it can restore Adit's previously faded smile. Seeing her smile back, I felt relieved. Aditku is back..

In my heart, I thought my love sentence could also be my mainstay magic move to face Adit nih. I think he's totally overwhelmed by my love words, ahaa..

"Thank you very much, baby. I won't let you down, I promise...!" A big smile spread across Adit's face.

Adit eagerly prepared to continue our journey. After closing the window glass again and about to start the car engine, Adit fell silent again like thinking of something.

"Darling, I want to say something.."

His tone asked for my permission. And immediately I nodded my head, ready to listen.

"I know, it may be a long time for us to arrive at a real marriage. Because we still have to finish our college first."

"But since today, my parents have asked me to pass this important thing on to your parents, I think I should also pass this on to you first.."

I read every word Adit said. He would have said something beyond my expectations, and sure enough...

"Darling, will you marry me..?"

Without me knowing, both of my hands were already in Adit's hands, feeling warm and soft...

Heiii Dinda.., you are proposed..!!! Being put on the side of the road in broad daylight like this.. Oohhh.., I really don't believe..., not romantic at all...!!! My screams in my heart...

I held my own laughter, but I couldn't. Adit also saw the expression of my mouth that had bloated wanted to explode laughter.., and finally released my laughter...

"Why are you laughing, baby..?!?"

The dumb expression on Adit's face made me laugh even more. Soon I could stop my laughter even though it was very difficult..

"I'm sorry. I just feel like we're the most unique couple in the world, baby.." I'm still a little bit chuckling.

"Why..?!" Adit still doesn't understand.

"Look at us, baby. Look around us..."

"Didn't you realize it. You proposed to me, in a car on a hot road trip like this. You're really not romantic, honey.."

I laughed again after saying it. While Adit who began to realize it, began to laugh as well while scratching his head. We both laughed together...

"I'm sorry, honey. Today everything happened unexpectedly. I'm sorry that I had to propose to you under these circumstances.."

Our laughter had subsided, leaving a smile between our eyes.

"I forgive you.., but I ask you to do it again, later in a time and atmosphere that is not like this anymore. You want to, right..?"

"I'll repeat it more special, baby.."

"But just now.., you haven't answered??"

Ooopss, I forgot, I was so shocked that I immediately burst out my laughter without answering.

"Ok.., I'll answer it now."

I was silent for a moment, taking a breath and...

"Yes, baby, I want to. I want to marry you.."

We both smiled with the same happy aura, with the same love, with the same confidence. At the moment, happiness belongs to both of us.
