The Smile of God for Marissa

Gorgeous Welcomed

All my friends Rosa, Sisy, Maulida, Susi and Santi new boarding friends invited me to take a walk out of the house. They said they wanted to help me refresh my brain and mind. The first place we wanted to go was the city park. New place built by the District Government a few months ago. The most beautiful and coolest place in the city.The first reason is because the city park is close to where we live. It only takes a kilometer walk from the cost, and for us it is enough to relax the legs.

There was no conversation between us. I'm guessing maybe they're awkward to talk to me. Besides being busy with my own thoughts, I was the most quiet from the beginning. Plus the new thing that happened between me, Rosa and Sisy. The trouble they had with me had silenced me more than a month ago.

At the city park, I saw a lot of people. Almost all move their bodies and exercise. All four of my friends asked to leave me for morning sweat. And it was precisely an opportunity for me to reflect, to seek inspiration. Look for an empty seat around me.

I found a long bench close to the statue of General Ahmad Yani. Without thinking for a long time, step towards the place and sit down while looking around. I wanted to take a look in a far direction, but I immediately paled because there was Aditya in front of me. He smiled gently and kindly asked for my permission to sit near me.

I'm rattled. Is this their plan ? Or just a coincidence ? As I remember that I was alone and wanted to be alone, I always found him.

“There are worrying things huh ? From earlier I saw Marissa daydream a lot ?”sapana.

“ma . . Forgive Risa, Sir.” Saying stammered.

“No need to apologize I'm sorry. I know you have a problem. Because the dhik Risa I found first is different from Dhik Risa who yesterday in the same place.” Wow, today Mr Aditya called me Dik ? I don't know what got into him ha ha ha.

“O yes ? Risa a few days ago what do you think ?’ I looked at the professor's face in front of me hoping for an answer.

“Sunny, passionate and beautiful.”

“And Risa who was in Gebang Rejo yesterday was ugly huh?’ ask me while smiling bitterly.

“The one in Rejo's thump yesterday was the girl who made me anxious, because she was asked not to answer. If she knew that I missed her so much she would definitely smile sweetly at me. ” Once again I say Wow, for it is so easy that he praises and expresses his heart.

“But lie. The man if he wants can seduce women.” I said with a happy smile.

“Indeed you understand the same thing as a male name ?”Tempt Adit while smiling looked at me.

“Not really. People say. I often hear that sentence when on the road.”sahutku.

“Don't hear too many words people on the street. Follow your heart and believe in yourself. “I'm silent again. Kuresapi all his words and finally I dare to look at him.

“What's up?” he looked at me curious.

“Mmm . .If Risa may know, why did Mr Adit send a messenger by calling the name Irawan Adityawarman ? I hate puzzles. It has been thought every day who and who are willing to propose without knowing me first. Every day I set up my palace by asking God which man is best for me. Turns out you are a very close person whom I don't know at all.” I saw him smile.

“Then ?” he looks calm. Calm as water. And it may be true, people say. This is men, always relying on logic instead of feeling like women. I'm getting down. I don't know what words I can say, even if it's for small talk. I'm a stupid human being who can't camouflage in every situation. Whatever my feelings were always gushing at that moment.

And God !

Today I died a flea. I wanted to calm myself down, but now I was trapped in a valley that was very difficult to pass.

“You have the right to refuse and accept me. There are two choices I make and I am ready for any consequences I will accept. ”

“Pak . . . “ I tried to dare to talk even though I felt very heavy. Aditya looked at me but finally looked down. He may have doubts about my speaking ability.

“Speak ! “ucapnya slow.

“The time you submitted has been passed very long right ?”

“Iya. But it could be forward and could also be backward.” Smirked.

“If Risa refuses, do we remain friends ?”

Aditya looked at me palely. Seemed very disappointed in his face and this made me tremble even more. There is a pity tucked deep in my heart. I know how stupid my question is.

“I dare not dream to be loved by someone as perfect as Mr.”

“So you rejected me ? “ ask while breathing heavily. ”It's okay. I'm sincere.” Speak with a soft voice.

“Then ?”

God ! why am I asking what I really don't want to ask. A stupid question that only fools ask.

“Speak ! You reject me sincerely.”tegasnya

“No Sir. I . . . I . .” I scratched my head in confusion and finally I could only laugh. Seeing me laugh Aditya was angry. He turned his face away and breathed deeply.

“Already, I know your answer. We're talking about something else ! Have you had breakfast yet?”

“Pak, . . .Risa doesn't want to date.”

“I'm not asking you to date. If you want I'll propose to your parents and we'll get married. But you said you rejected me already, that's okay. Let's just say it never happened. I'm sincere.”

“No Sir.”

“What does it mean not ?”

“I . . no . . .reject.” finally I can break my record. Accepting men honestly. Yeah, honestly, and I just did this.

Reaction ?

“Aalhamdulillah's. Finally my friend knight. Can answer firmly and we are proud of you Risa.”My friends surround me. They looked at us in turn.

“Then, Mr. Aditya, we just go straight to KUA, it's KUA. Said Mr. Adit didn't want to invite Risa to go out.”

“Not now Rosa. My family had to come to Dik Marissa's house first and determine our wedding day. God willing all ready.”

“But we have breakfast first yes, I am hungry once.” Maulida pulled my arm.

“Come, I'll feed you.” Aditya waved his hand asking the chicken porridge seller to come over, order and finally eat.

I heard from Praise my High School best friend who I called yesterday. He said, to make a choice, after Istiharah, I was advised to take a prayer beads by closing my eyes and counting them with two choices until the seeds of tasbih were exhausted.

I followed his advice, hoping that I would be able to secure the choice I had made. I have received Aditya's proposal which was mandated to two colleagues, Muhamad Ridwan and MAulana Akmal first. And tonight, I once again set up the qiyamul lail, hoping for the Almighty's help, to strengthen my heart to carry out my duty of perfecting half of my dine. Tonight I pleaded with Him for help, that I might be given the strength to do so and to make it easy for me to convince my parents.

It was still clear in my ears all their words that night.

“Please excuse me, Ma'am. We came to convey trust. We intend to apply Mbak Risa to Irawan Adityawarman.”

“Sorry, which Irawan Adityawarman is it ? I don't know him. Maybe you're wrong, Brother.”

“No. He said he knew Risa. “

“Ta . .but I don't want to date, Sister. I . . . Cannot.”

“Irawan does not invite dating. If Mbak Risa wants, he invites you to get married next month.”

I kept quiet because there was no reason I could give them, so they decided to go home. God ! Please guide me, this foolish and petty servant of Yours.Because only to YOU Lord, I ask for help. Only in You do I ask for guidance and help. Amians.

I decided to go home today. Aditya's family is coming tomorrow and I need to get the word out to my father and mother in person. Although I had previously given word per phone, but it was unethical to let my parents prepare everything themselves.

I said my gear, and with Sisy on my way, I went home.
