Thank You for True Love

09 MARRIED..???

It didn't take long for us to adjust to our new relationship. Not much different than in the past. Only now do we feel that we need each other, we fill each other up, we look after each other, we strengthen each other more than ever.

Yes, because Adit has asked me to. Asking me to be a complement to his life. More precisely to complement each other. Believe that we will live the future together in a definite bond and will not be separated again.

Either when the happy moment will come, soon or we will have to wait a little longer.

The holidays are back. The time that is awaited by the regional students, to be able to return home. They are always happy to welcome a long holiday, because they will re-assemble with their beloved family.

But not with me. Not because I don't like holidays or going home. After all, I have often come home every weekend, because the distance from my home to the city campus next door is not too far, not up to two hours away by motorbike.

A long vacation, usually a month. And all that time I had to be willing to stay away from Adit. I can't meet and be with him every day. Only occasionally, I return to this city just let go of the longing with Adit, Elisha and Rinaya. Or vice versa, those who sometimes take the time to visit me home.

"Darling, when are you planning to go home?" Tanya Adit, when we were both spending time this afternoon in a cafe.

I just shrugged my shoulders to answer the question. Adit smiled at me.

"Don't tell me you don't want to go home. Remember your parents, they'll want to linger with you during the holidays.."

"Who doesn't want to go home. There are you who can not separate long with me.." My elak covered my own anger.

"If I miss playing there, baby. I've met the future in-laws.." Answer with a flickering gibberish.

Adit took me home a few times. He won't let me go home alone, either by riding my own motorcycle or taking public transportation. I really feel guarded and protected by him. That's what often makes me heavy if I have to part with him for a long time.

On the contrary, several times Adit has also taken me to his home and introduced him to his parents.

Even though he was an only child just like me, but his parents did not spoil him, so he grew up to be an independent and responsible man as I have seen all along.

"Before you go home, tomorrow to my house first yes, dear..." Her request.

"I was there last week too, Dit. Not good ah, if you go to your house too often.."

"Mom wants to see you, he said.."

"Oh, tomorrow morning I'm home, before we stop by your house first.." I gave my thumb a sign of agreement. But Adit was shocked.

"Huh.., tomorrow morning you come home..??"

He put on a pouting face, making me very gemasss look at Adit like that. If he's a doll I've hugged I kissed as much as before.

"Yes, you were the one who said, a lot of holidays at home, quality time with your father.." My God let her frown.

"Fate should be LDR again. Not been left feeling bad.."

Adit put on a duck face, making me even more anxious to see his behavior like a child who was sulking.

In the morning we arrived at Adit's parents' house.

"Assalamualaikum, Aunt.." I kiss the hand continued cipika cipiki with Aunt Indri, her mother Adit.

"Waalaikumsalam, baby. Come in here for a minute, someone needs Auntie to talk to you.."

Aunt Indri immediately pulled my arm, inviting me to sit in the living room. Aunt Indri asked me to sit next to her.

At first glance I looked at Adit, trying to figure out what his mother wanted to talk to me about. But Adit who had sat first in front of me just shrugged his shoulders and shook his head slowly.

Duh.., I became groggy myself waiting for Aunt Indri to open the conversation. Seeing me sitting unsettled, Adit even grinned himself.

"So gini Dinda dear, Aunt just want to ask you, same Adit too..." Aunt Indri stopped her speech for a moment.

"You're really sure about the relationship between the two of you..?"

Deg.., come early in the morning already immediately treated to heavy questions like this.

Spontaneous I set my gaze straight towards Adit who also looked at me sharp, uh not sharp, rather serious.

I was silent, not daring to answer first. I still look at Adit, his face is calm, not as serious as before.

"Yes, Mama knows. I mean Mama.., if so far you have been sure, are you also ready to continue your relationship to a more serious stage..??"

"I mean Mama, married..??"

Adit seemed to hide his smile, but was seen by me. And when she realized I knew her stifled smile, she deliberately played both of her eyebrows up and down, teasing me with a smile that she then released to me.

Huftt.., I took a deep breath and took it out slowly. The direction of the conversation is getting tapered on its purpose. I tried to digest carefully one by one which was discussed and asked by Aunt Indri.

"But Auntie, we haven't finished college yet.." That's all I dare say, at least for now.

"Not after this holiday, you guys have started working on the thesis, right..?!"

We nodded simultaneously.

"If your thesis is smooth, then it won't be another year, you're done, right..?" Aunty Indri.

"So, if we finish our college, we'll get married., you mean Mama?" Ask Adit with a serious face.

"Yaaa that's what Papa wants with Mama. But we also have to know from the Dinda family's side how she wants it. And most importantly, as Mama said earlier, are you two ready..??"

Adit and I looked at each other in silence. Long enough the two of us were silent, until the sound of the ringing of Aunt Indri's phone broke the atmosphere.

I saw Aunt Indri smiling broadly at the phone call.

"Hello, assalamualaikum. Yes Pa, it's here..?"

"The hubby? Yes, it's here. And Mama's been talking to both of them.."

"Heemm.., yes.., yes Pa.."

"Oh, okay wait a minute.."

Aunt Indri held out her phone towards me.

"Honey, this is Adit's Papa to talk to you for a second.."

Well, what else is this about Om Satrio coming along to talk to me. I don't know what my romance is like right now, I don't think about it anymore. Just thinking about our current topic of conversation, has already made my feelings run to and fro.

For a moment I turned to Adit, saw he nodded his head, then I dared to receive a cellphone from the hands of Aunt Indri.

"Assalamualaikum Oh.."

"Ooh.., eeehh.iya Om, today Dinda wants to go home Om.."

"Dad? Ooo.., yes.., good Om. Later Dinda send Om's message to Adit.."

"yes Om. You're welcome, thank you.."

I returned the phone to Aunt Indri. It seems like the call from Om Satrio has ended.

"What did you say..?" Adit who heard his name called so curious impatient.

"Same as Aunt Indri said earlier.." Answer's short.

"That's all?" Ask again.

"Om Satrio send a message, so you'll see Dad later, and tell Dad what we talked about earlier.."

I looked at Adit's face a little staggering, but after that he smiled as usual.

"And let's not forget, we are waiting for a response from the Dinda family, when we can get there..!" Aunt Indri.

The conversation about our marriage was over. Adit and I were both silent with our thoughts.

Shortly after, I also say goodbye to Aunt Indri to go home. So will Adit, who will deliver me with an important mission about our future.
