The Friend Yang Kunikahi

9. Convincingly

When the day has gone up in the afternoon Luna and Leo went home first because they had received orders from the Prabu and Mother respectively, told them to go home immediately because they said no good bride and groom are still hanging around when it gets dark.

Along the way the two were in silence, when deciding to go home there was no such debate as when going to leave earlier. Luna was busy with her thoughts about what the man beside her had said earlier, while Leo was compiling the words he would return to convince his future wife.

Arriving in front of a crowded park in the afternoon today Leo stopped the speed of his car, making Luna who had not noticed the road look around and look at Leo with a questioning gaze.

“Wedding we only have two more days Lun. Not only do you refuse this marriage, I too, like you, do not want this. We've been friends for a long time, and I really think of you as a friend. Never in the slightest thought in my mind to marry my own best friend even on Lyra though which though I have more feelings ..”

Luna listened to every word that came out of Leo's mouth. He did know that the man had more feelings for Lyra so his confession did not surprise Luna.

“... Like lo, I also do not have any feelings, but Mother said that the feelings will be present with time. Just like you, I am also against Dad's decision in this matchmaking and you know for yourself right? Their decision can never be challenged, and I as a child can only accept even though the heart refuses, I just want them to be happy and maybe in this way one of them. And after I decided to accept this matchmaking, right then and there I was determined to open my heart and accept you in my life,” Leo stopped saying, ' he said, looking at Luna who was still sitting beside him staring with a gaze that again he could not understand.

Leo gave a small smile, looked back to the front and placed his back on the back of the car seat, sighing on display before finally reopening his voice, “we've been friends long enough Lun and maybe even a little lo know how I am, my madness, my attitude and behavior may you know, but one that you may not know from me, but one that you may not know from me, I never mess with a commitment. Once I decide to be serious then the next one will remain that way. Dad taught me to be responsible for whatever I have to be responsible for.”

Luna lowered her head, indeed she could see the seriousness of the man's eyes, but somehow Luna still felt anxious and doubtful. He only wanted a once-in-a-lifetime marriage, building a household with the man who loved him and loved him. As Leo said, marrying a friend of his own was never in his mind as well as Luna.

Exhaling slowly, Leo turned to Luna who was still lowered. Grabbing the hand of Luna who was in the lap of the girl took her to move on her lap and what she did was make Luna look up at her. Leo squeezed out the soft, white hand that was slightly sweating coldly, staring right at the bead of Luna who was also looking at him seriously. “Lun, I may not be the man you want, nor the one you expect. The marriage that we will face is based on coercion, but I believe that there is God's intervention in it..”

“... My permission to enter into your heart, Lun I promise will keep your trust, I will always keep your heart and I will keep trying to be happy you. Right now, you may doubt me, but I beg you to let me touch your heart, prove what I just said. My heart is wide open for lo Lun and I hope you will do the same.”

Leo carried Luna's tiny body into his arms, clutching the back that was shaking violently from the crying tightly to calm her down and give the woman comfort.

“Let's learn to love each other, Le and help me to believe until this doubt is no longer felt.” The word that Luna put out in the middle of her sobs published a smile on Leo's lips.

“Gue promise, Lun I promise will keep your trust and I make sure you will lose that doubt.” The two smiled in each other's hearts promising to learn to accept and learn to open up to each other. Won't it be hard not to fall in love with your best friend?

“What will be the guarantee if you can not keep the word lo?”

“Lo loan shark Lun?” quickly Luna shook her head. “Terus why ask for guarantee? I think I borrowed money from the Bank!”

One blow landed right on Leo's head, hard enough until the owner grimaced. “Lo not borrow money, Le but you borrow my heart. Money that is easy to find there is a guarantee, yes, a difficult heart period to fix no guarantee, there must be dong. So what will you make a guarantee?”

“Emm what is it? Refrigerator at Mother's house may be guaranteed,” Leo said with an expression that looks like a thinking person.

Again one more flutter landed on Leo's head, Luna's annoyed face showed, folding both hands on the chest and then throwing her face.

“Lo is funny if you're pouting, Lun. Similar duck.” Leo's hand stretched out to pinch Luna's cheek, but before that happened Luna first brushed it off and looked at Leo intently.

“Gue is serious Leo, why are you becandain? How do I want to be sure your marriage is the same if you are always a joke? Never mind if my heart lo becandain too!” Angrier. Yes Luna is angry because she feels that Leo is playing with her feelings.

“If you just want to mess with my feelings, better cancel the wedding that will be held the day after tomorrow. If you can't afford it and don't want to embarrass your parents, let me go and cancel our wedding.” Luna said with a gloomy look on her face, the water had pooled in her eyes and it made Leo feel guilty.

“Gue is sorry, Lun is sorry if I was wrong, but just so you know, I never mess with feelings and never a little intention to play you. You can hold my words, Lun and if until I make a mistake and deny my words, what you will do for my law, I will accept. I will try to keep all my words, Lun including happy lo.” Leo's eyes exuded a seriousness that Luna could not escape.
