The Rose Does Not Crown

Made up

"You want to be my life partner, willing to be the mother of my children, Emily Princess Zahrana ?" ask Aksa back.

Emily's eyes glazed over hearing that, she removed Aksa's hand from her face. And, uh,...

Slowly retreating and running away from Aksa, Aksa who saw Emily like that was confused, were there any words from her that were wrong ?

"what's wrong with Emily, why she ran away from me after I expressed all the feelings in my heart. Is there something wrong with my words." Aksa was still silent because she was confused.

Aksa runs after Emily, and she has to make sure everything is clear.

"Emmyl,.. Emily, uh,.." Shouted Aksa who had already lost track of the woman.

" Elmily. Why did you leave, if any of my words are wrong please forgive me." Shouts Aksa who did not stop running to find Emily.

Aksa's legs felt weak to run again, he rested for a moment. While leaning against a tree, Aksa heard the voice of a woman crying under a tree.

Looking at the colors and clothes that the woman was wearing, Aksa felt that the woman was Emily. But he also felt doubtful, but did not want to dissolve in doubt Aksa approached him. Aksa slowly approaches the woman to ascertain whether the woman is right Emily or not.

" Emily.," he called her soft.

The woman raised her head so that she showed her face. And sure enough, as Aksa guessed if the woman in front of him was Emily.

Aksa who really feels fear of loss and fear of anything happening with the woman she loves so much that reflexes pulls Emily's body and hugs her tightly. Several times he kissed Emily's head with affection. While Emily who is still in sadness just silence and still not fully realized.

"Emily Princess Zahrana, listen to me carefully." Aksa said while cupping Emily's face with both hands.

"If you are not willing to be a lover and a companion to my life you can answer it later, not now. I'm ready to wait until you're ready, you don't like this anymore, I'm afraid something bad happens to you." Aksa said very softly and sincerely.

But unlike Emily, the more she heard Aksa's expression of sincerity the more tears flowed down her cheeks.

"Sister, I.a.a.ku." said Emily stammeringly.

"Why, anyone's sick, tell me which one's sick Ly ?" Aksa's tears did not feel like they were breaking as if they were following Emily's feelings.

"I'm afraid that my brother will leave me, brother, I don't want to hope again with a relationship, if later it will all end painfully." Said Emily with a hoarse voice and tears that continued to break.

Aksa really did not understand the woman in front of him, Aksa then brought Emily back to where they had been dinner. After reaching the table, Aksa helped prepare a chair for Emily to sit down and gave Emily a glass of water to feel calmer.

" You are calm, you don't have to answer if you're not ready." Aksa

Deep inside Emily he wanted to answer her immediately, but he was really afraid that after Aksa knew her true state, Aksa would just leave her. He was confused whether to be frank or not with Aksa. But Emily remembers one message from Bu Sofi first when she was in High School, if she did not have to tell everything to anyone including her husband later. Because it is a disgrace that God has covered so closely, then why should he dig it again and why should he expose his own disgrace.

"honestly, I'm still scared and traumatized to be in a relationship, but I don't deny I also want to have someone who can look after and protect me, I had to be honest with her to make me calmer, whatever how she finally accepted me or not after I was honest" Emily's mind and heart were always the opposite.

But he was more following his heart to be frank to Aksa, whether later Aksa will accept him or not. Now the most important thing for him is to be honest first.

"Sister, I need to talk to you about something. But before I tell you, I ask for one thing brother, whatever the decision of brother after hearing my story, I ask it to be a secret brother for life brother, brother, don't let brother share this story everywhere.can promise ?" Aksa nodded her head in response to what Emily had asked for.

Emily is still looking at Aksa seriously, in her heart still hesitates she has to tell him something that will clearly open her own disgrace, whereas she is afraid after telling her the man can keep her secret or not.

"What's Ly by the way, you've been crying all the time why ? don't make me more confused, I can't at least see a woman crying." Said Aksa whose hand tightly grasped Emily's hand while occasionally wiping Emily's tears.

Really tonight it feels like Emily needs superpowers to make an honesty that she does not know her honesty will bring good luck or misfortune again for her.

" Sister, I am actually.., still can not open the heart too wide, because honestly deep down this still holds a lot of wounds because of betrayal, because there is no sense of respect, because there is no sense of respect, and another feeling that's basically hard for me to explain. I am the type of person who holds true to my principles, brother, once there is betrayal then I will release that person, And it's hard for me to believe anymore even though I still have a deep taste for that person. Can you promise to be loyal to me ?. If so, I'm ready to be what you want me to be, but if not then forget all the flavors that are in your heart right now." emily said, turning her heart upside down and undoing her intention to unlock her secret, She's not ready to be honest.

Aksa who heard Emily's speech was spontaneous just mengumpum smile to hold the sense to laugh, he had been listening seriously even his mind was bad to think everywhere, the edges were only asked to be loyal.

"Emily darling, horrified sister. If you belong to your sister, you will not promise but will prove that you will always be faithful, will try to always give you an abundance of love and will not waste you. because big brother is the type of man who likes to love many women. If you are not sure of my words, let's just marry directly, so that brother can be more free to take care of you" said Aksa sure.

Of course Emily was made gawking by the words Aksa who immediately wanted to invite her to marry, Emily was not ready because she felt there was still something hidden from Aksa.

Emily chuckles at Aksa's words. "We just live it first, brother, What if we only commit without binding each other ? so if like brother tired waiting for me brother can choose another, and vice versa."

"No, I wouldn't want to just commit, it means that we're playing with a feeling. I want you to be my lover, my future companion. And I will wait for you until you are willing to be my wife." asked Aksa who of course objected to Emily's request.

"How are you ready ?" aksa asked back while looking seriously at Emily.

Emily took a deep breath, then nodded her head slowly as she approved Aksa's words." But on one condition, brother, may I apply the condition ?".

Aksa felt amused at Emily's words, "What else is her condition, Ay ?" ask her while pinching and pulling Emily's pointed nose.

"If you later hear bad news about me, such as gossip and others. you must ask me the truth first, do not be trusted just like that." he asked

"Emily my dear, my love, my beloved, it's not a condition but it's a necessity. In a relationship of mutual trust, open to each other it must be there for the relationship to last and last, so it does not need to be asked that I will do, and it also applies to you."

Aksa's words always make Emily's heart fly dancing like a butterfly dancing beautifully in a garden full of flowers. His heart was relieved, and surely one day he had to reveal the truth to the man who had just become his lover, he said, because it is Aksa's request to open up to each other but he has not been able to do so.

"So from today we are so, yes, our status changed into lovers ?." Aksa teased Emily who blushed shyly, making her face look even more adorable.

" I feel like it. " replied Emily who still felt a bit awkward.

They both smiled happily tonight, able to express their feelings.

Drrt...Drrt...Drrt . Emily's phone is vibrating there's an incoming call.

After receiving the call, Emily's face that was originally full of happiness instantly turned grim.

"Will this happiness be temporary to me" whispered Emily, who covered her heart with a fake smile to cover it from Aksa.
