The Story of the Children of the Juragan

181. The arrival of Leon

"What! Leon wants to propose to Fatim? Tonight?" Marquez rolled his eyes in disbelief, as Marco said that to him as he had just returned from the office. Papa Marco nodded as well.

"You're allowing it?" Marquez threw his body on the living room couch, loosening his tie, belt and taking off his shoes. To stretch his body muscles.

"For the first time I saw the boy look serious, Marq" Marco said, giving Marquez a chuckle.

"Thank God then. It's okay if Leon proposes to Fatim. I think she's a good girl. But you have to really convince your son. Because you know for yourself. Despite your age, your son always acts like a child."

Marco once again nodded in response to Marquez's remark.

"Later tonight, I'll take you. Excuse me for looking for the whereabouts of my wife whom I love so much, love so much, and so I miss every moment." Marquez stood up while carrying his briefcase and shoes.

"Aware, you are old. Soon Wulan will give you grandchildren." Marco pounded Marquez with a couch cushion. Because he knew the habits of friends since childhood. Marquez could only laugh out loud and passed up the stairs.

Meanwhile, in the hospital. Fatim could not concentrate on his task. His face was always gloomy. Leon completely changed Fatim's life that day.

"Why you, baby?" papa Adam asked in a slightly loud voice. Because his son had been daydreaming ever since. He has been calling her since.

"Eh, it-it's nothing, pa." Fatim was quite surprised by the voice of his father who grew very loud.

He immediately occupied himself with his work. Afraid that her father would scold her. But Adam wouldn't do that to his son.

"Polyte. Remember, if there's a problem anything should be a story with papa and mama."

"Yes, pa. Fatim has no problem either. Sure you are." Fatim smiled.

Although Fatim continued to deny, the look on his face that was still thinking about something, could not be lied to.

After Fatim came home, he cleaned himself up and locked himself in his room. Instead of thinking about insignificant men like Leon, he finally used his time to look at the show on the ticktock. He was looking for funny videos to entertain himself.

Meanwhile, at Marquez's residence, there was a scene about Leon proposing to Fatim.

Wulan and Salman are very supportive. Wulan told Leon to treat Fatim well. Correcting his behavior that looks like a child. And many more other advice. Even Salman also advised, to glorify a woman.

"Yes if accepted. Lf it doesn't? I thought about marriage." Wulan poked Leon with a sofa cushion, which made them chuckle.

"Yes, let's go. Night hunt." take Leon, and get out of his seat.

Still chuckling, they all got up from their seats and marched to Fatim's residence.

As the night went on, after Isya's dinner and prayers, Fatim drowned his body under the covers. Prepare to sleep. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Mama. What's up, ma?" Fatim opened the door, and his mother was standing in front of him.

"There's a guest for you" she replied briefly.

"Guests? For Fatim?" repeat the girl because she was surprised by the arrival of her friend at midnight.

"Yes already. Let's meet there soon." lazily Fatim walked with his mother to the living room, without changing the pajamas he was wearing.

Somehow his heart felt bad all the way down the stairs. And his steps stopped when he saw Leon with his family.

'What the fuck is he. Come bring his family. He said he wanted to propose to his future wife, but why come here? Is his future wife my neighbor? So after applying, accidentally stop by here. To inform my family.' Fatim grumbled in his heart.

"Fat, come." The mother who was almost on the sofa, now came back again and took her son's hand.

Fatim reviewed the forced smile, then walked towards the group of guests. He sat near his father. He deliberately threw away the sight when Leon looked at him.

They talk for a moment. But throughout the conversation, Fatim only answered briefly and as necessary.

When the atmosphere was a little quiet, papa marco nudged Leon's arm, to immediately convey the meaning of his arrival. Leon cleared his throat loudly, and inhaled a deep breath before starting to say.

"Pardon us before Om, Aunt, Fatim. If our arrival is enough to disrupt your time. Please allow me to express my intention of coming with my family.

Me, come here to propose to my daughter om and Aunt to be my wife."

The three homeowners were very surprised by Leon's words. Even from being too surprised, Fatim stiffened his seat.
