After Maghrib prayers, Hadi sat on the terrace of his house. Still wearing a sarong and Koko's shirt, she sat in the corner enjoying her white cigarette smoke.
Both of his hands stretched out on the back of the long chair. While his right leg is lifted and crossed over his left leg.
At first glance he hears Sherly's remark on the phone while teasing Cerryl. With mixed feelings, Hadi tried to pull the red thread from the incident.
His mind was fixed on Cerryl. A girl who at the beginning of their meeting did not leave anything special in Hadi's heart. But over time, meeting after meeting made Hadi feel there was something he felt. Especially after Cerryl told of an incident that was almost the same as his dream.
"Right, too, why would I dare say that I asked her out? I have never once expressed my heart. Especially to ask her to be my lover"
Hadi. Sherly's words have reminded her of what status is intertwined between her and Cerryl, so dare to say that when she took Cerryl to the cottage it was a date.
Hadi smiled as he imagined the incident in the cottage. So calm and relaxed even though a little confused by some strange events that he thought at that time did not make sense.
"Sister,, not going yet? he said there's an appointment?"
Suddenly Johan appeared at the end of the stairs. While approaching Hadi and kissing his hand, Johan observed his brother's attitude and behavior which he thought was a bit strange at that time.
"Yes, while brother's on the road"
Hadi also rose after turning off the cigarette in the ashtray. He stepped into his room and immediately changed his clothes. Johan came in and immediately took the water. Actually he intended to stop by the mosque when he heard the adhan on the way. But because some of his pants were splashed by a puddle of rain on the road, he decided to pray at home.
"Jo, I'm not leaving"
Hadi said when he saw his sister preparing a prayer mat.
"Your brother's care put it on a shelf by the window"
"Yes,kak. Be careful" Johan said.
Hadi stepped down the stairs after saying his greeting. In her usual but neat clothes, she prepared to go to the place where she had promised something this afternoon. For a moment, the favorite motorcycle has brought Hadi across the crowded city street crowds.
While Christine has tried hard to gather courage when facing Hadi who will soon become her sister-in-law. Unlike Cerryl who still does not believe that he and Hadi have become lovers.
"Is tonight a special night? is it true that tonight Brother Hadi will reveal and announce that we are made?"
Whisper Cerryl in the heart while reflecting and makeup.
At around 7 a.m., Hadi had already arrived at their meeting place. The atmosphere is more beautiful than during the day. The bright color brightness of various flowers is replaced by the glitter of flickering lights. Nicely arranged to connect the cottage with each other. Even the garden lights look beautiful. Like interlocking lanterns that illuminate the path from the natural rock to the hut.
The atmosphere of the cottage also looks more romantic with the presence of small candle-shaped lights that decorate the room table.
Cerryl arrives with Sherly and Christine. The three were instantly stunned for a moment after entering the hut area. Cerryl was so stunned. The nuances of the night are no less beautiful when he first came during the day. Especially for Christine and Sherly. The two stopped for a moment at the end of the entrance of the cottage area. Eyes enjoying the beauty of the place. Cerryl smiled at his brother and best friend. Then gently pulled his hands together to walk towards the special cottage. Where Hadi had stood and waved his hand.
"Sir Hadi is waiting, brother" He whispered.
Christine and Sherly follow Cerryl. A few eyes watched their behavior. But everything understood, because they were so when they first came to that place. Smiles are also coming from their lips. Making Cerryl, Christine and Sherly would not want to reply with a smile anyway.
"Beautiful," Sherly murmured.
"Yes," welcome Christine.
Hadi who had been standing and waiting on the inner side of the cottage smiled. Welcoming the arrival of three beautiful girls one of whom is the thief who has knocked down the ice wall in his heart.
"How,,,?" sapana.
While Cerryl was already sitting on the chair that was previously pulled and invited by Hadi for him. The two said nothing, just smiled and looked at each other. Ignoring Christine and Sherly who are still standing and save each other all the beauty there.
"So, how do you know this place? why haven't you told me this whole time and brought me here!?"
Christine was protesting and a little angry. Because all that time Hadi hid such a beautiful and pleasant place from him. Hadi only frowned hearing Christine's words. But he finally explained it.
"Not so, actually this place has not been created long ago. So I haven't been able to tell you or bring you here"
"I mean!?" Christine curious.
"Yes, my friend has not long managed this place. He got this place from a relationship of his parents who happened to have to move out of town for something" explained Hadi.
"At that time I also happened to be intending to earn some extra income. Come to me. We finally agreed on cooperation"
continued Hadi.
"So you mean, this place,,,?"
Christine covered her mouth with both hands. As if he did not want to continue the sentence because he did not believe what he was going to say.
Cerryl and Sherly looked at each other. I didn't understand what Christine was thinking until she didn't continue. Then look at Christine and Hadi alternately. Waiting for what happens next.
Two waiters brought four cups of late coffee and a menu book. Hadi also allowed them to order according to their individual tastes.
"Oh, yeah. Your order will be ready in an hour. Because I wanted us to enjoy this coffee first while we talked about something"
Not yet answered their heart questions about the disconnection of Christine's sentence, now Hadi's speech also raises curiosity in the hearts of Cerryl and Sherly. Including Christine. Although actually he knew a little what Hadi would talk about. Probably more specifically an announcement.
Hadi started to gulp down a little coffee. Followed by Cerryl, Christine and Sherly. After that slowly he explained first about the hut, better known as the cottage restaurant and the Lesehan Presmanan. From the beginning get it up to a total overhaul and build those lodges. Eventually, he said something important in his life.
"In addition, tonight I want to ask for the opinion and permission of Christine and Sherly, too," Hadi paused for a moment.
Christine is not so surprised, but Sherly looks confused to hear Hadi's words. Sherly looked at Cerryl, while Cerryl was glued when Hadi looked at her sharply.
"Can I and deserve to love Cerryl,,,?"
DUARRRR,,,, , '''S,,,,
Cerryl's heart thumped. His blood flow felt so fast upon hearing Hadi's words. His mouth twitched but could not speak. He was waiting for that word. But as soon as those words were said, Cerryl was still shocked.
Sherly was momentarily stunned. Then he smiled and had to hear it. So did Christine. Her wide smile decorated her beautiful face.
"I'm up to Cerryl. Because he will live it," said Christine lightly.
"Feed,,,!" sahut Sheryl.
"Then, can I love you?"
Now Hadi's speech is addressed directly to Cerryl. His right hand is stretched out with his palm facing upwards. As if to hope and ask Cerryl to receive his affection.
Cerryl is getting more and more shaky. His lips were tightly clenched. Only the clear crystal grains appeared in both corners of his eyes as he smiled and nodded his head. Slowly Cerry stood up. His left hand welcomed Hadi's hand.
Unknowingly, both of them immediately embraced. Delivering the shakes in each other's chests without caring for the downcast Sherly and the smiling Christine are satisfied to see the union of two hearts that love each other.
