The Love of the Widow

Chapters 12. Open the Heart

Randy came to pick me up at 07:00 in the morning.

As per the agreement of the two of us last night on the phone, this morning we will go car free day (CFD) together.

"Assynolajet.. Good morning.. " Sapaku to Randy who was waiting for me outside the porch.

"Waailaikumsalam." he replied with a smile.

"Yok..!!" I said to take her walking.

"we're having a marathon there. Near Kok. the motorbike is parked here! " i said to Randy.

"okay! " he replied as he followed me running around the small courtyard out of the house, towards jl. Sudirman was right in front of the alley where I contracted for a house with Mira.

CFDs are one of the routine activities of the Pekanbaru community.

CFDs are carried out on Sundays from 06.00-10.00 Wib along Jl. General Sudirman.

During CFDs, no motor vehicle can pass through JL. Sudirman is the center of activity.

In CFDs there are many activities carried out by the Pekanbaru community.

For example, just exercising with their family or friends.

Many also take advantage of CFDs to enjoy sharing typical snacks from various regions that are polled along the way.

Not only that, CFDs are also often used to gather by various groups in Pekanbaru. Reptile lovers, for example.

They gather together to bring their pets for a show or to share tips and advice on the maintenance of their reptiles.

Randy and I walked slowly among the crowds of CFD visitors.

"We ate Canai Yuk's bread! " take Randy to me.

I nodded in agreement.

We enjoyed the rolled bread while talking about our past when KKN used to be.

We were quite close at that time, even friends had thought that we had a special relationship. But unfortunately at that time we were just friends.

When the KKN activities were completed, we began to distance ourselves.

And we were more tenuous when Randy was accepted to work at one of the Private Banks and then placed outside the city of Pekanbaru.

"I am very grateful to be back again to Pekanbaru after two years of wandering" said Randy who was born and lived in Pekanbaru with his parents.

"Thank God. At least you have enough experience to be a regional child away from family, right? " i told him.

"Yup.. Exactly right. Suffice it to teach me to do laundry, cook, mop, iron clothes and do the dishes!! " Said while laughing.

I laughed when I heard it too.

"But the most unpleasant is if it hurts again! nothing to expect. Then I want to get married soon. So if one day he moved again, there is already a wife who can be invited to migrate! " hehehe.

"Well.. Is there a dong candidate? " i was teasing her.

"There's another one sitting in front of me" she replied, laughing again.

I almost choked on hearing his words.

***

After yesterday's CFD, my relationship with Randy was getting closer.

Almost every day we reply WA even call each other at Night.

I'm starting to like it.

He was no longer happy to send a bouquet of flowers to my office on his behalf.

I'm getting flattered happy.

"Try my girlfriend as romantic as Randy, I must be the happiest woman in this Office!! My dear boyfriend is less sensitive. Fiancee, but still Cuek!" Mira told me.

"Yaelaahhh! That you should be thankful that there are still Men who are willing to be your fiance the super chatty woman!!" I laughed while laughing.

Anywhere laugh.

"Say.. I got Randy home from work, so you went home by yourself!" I said to Mira.

"alright.. But go home and bring some!! " Say to me.

"Alright chatty..!! " i said as I passed leaving her.

Randy was waiting for me on his black metallic ninja bike.

"Hi. "my broom to her.

He replied to me with a smile and then signaled me to go up on his bike immediately.

Because today is Saturday, so I only work half a day. Randy too.

He rode me to one of the most famous restaurants in Pekanbaru.

Arriving at the restaurant we ordered food for lunch and a glass of fresh drinks.

After eating, he handed me a white sheet of paper.

"What's this? a letter? kek era SD only, use send all letters! " i said with a laugh and then took the sheet of paper he had been shoving.

"That's not a letter, but my proposal" he replied Origin.

"What proposal? " just ask me again while laughing and confused.

"Proposal of self-application to be your prospective partner. If you agree please sign at the bottom, do not forget to give your name clearly and today's date! " Tell him while laughing.

I laughed too, hearing his words.

"As in the movie Dilan. Use all proposals. Old old old. Not the gini cake. Shame on age!! " i said again, still laughing, and reading in his heart the inscription on the paper that now comes from my hand.

"I'm not Dilan, let alone a pujagga. I'm just an ordinary guy who didn't have the courage to express my liking to you for a long time.

This writing is a medium for me to present myself as your future priest if you please.

verily, with trembling hands and mixed feelings, I would like to express a sentence to you.

I love You's.

Randy"

"Deliberately follow the way of Dilan, let look romantic. How to know accepted.!!" he said while grinning towards me.

I'm silent for a moment.

He was silent too.

"Rand.. You know about me? " tanyu to him.

"Look. I know all about you from Mira. Sorry before that because I'm secretly looking for you. For me status doesn't matter Na. What matters is how I feel about you. I am now ready to be your partner, unlike when we were KKN. I'm too cowardly to say I like you!!" he said it clearly to me.

I almost cried because I was moved.

Slowly but surely I nod my head gesturing to her that I accept her proposal.

He smiled to see me.

"If so in the signature dong proposal. !! Don't forget the name and date of today!! " he said again with a laugh.

I follow his wish.

We laughed together.
