Tomorrow After

Misgive

So how? Jonathan asked breaking the silence between them.

They were sitting on the porch while their parents were talking inside.

Ayana still quietly did not ponder the question of the man beside her. He was still shocked, how not surprised Jonathan was included in the last list of men who would propose to him. After all, they were not in such a close condition, in the office they fought more often than not

suave.

"I know you're shocked, but Ayana I don't want to put it off, I really love you from first sight."

Jonathan turned his head to look at the girl, to be honest he was very fascinated with her girl.

"You mean on your first day at work? We've known each other for a month."

Jonathan seemed to be fondling something before making a sound.

"Maybe you don't know that I've known you for a long time."

"You mean?" Ask Ayana.

"I won't tell you before you accept my proposal." Said firmly.

Highlight his eyes looked sharp but there was a soft side in them.

"You cheated." Gerrutu Ayana's.

"You are sure I will accept

your proposal."

"You're so mean, Ayana, break

my spirit." he replied while chuckling little, although actually his heart was uneasy because it was waiting for the girl's answer.

"If you don't want to, I won't tell you until anytime" he continued.

"Where can it be." annoyed Ayana with

pursed his lips.

Jonathan who saw it could not help but feel anxious, he really could not wait to invite Ayana, hopefully he would accept his proposal.

"So what do you answer, Ayana do you want to be my wife?"

Blusshhhhh

A red hue instantly ran down his cheek when he heard the man say that sentence.

"Emmm, I don't know if I haven't been able to answer, give me time" she replied nervously.

Jonathan sighed for a moment and said.

"Alright I'll give you some time, but I hope your answer doesn't disappoint me."

"When do you want to wait for me?" Ayana asked, because in fact she was still in doubt about the man's proposal.

Ayana.

"Well, give me a week and I'll answer."

"Don't be too hasty when we're still

many, after all, there's still a month left to enter the office."

"One month? Don't tell me you took all your cut rations this year?"

"Yes, you could say that." Answer While

smiling clumsily.

"It looks like the parents are done

talk, maybe it's time I say goodbye."

Right after Jonathan finished his sentence, his parents came out of the house followed by Santi. It seems they understand that Ayana can't give the answer right now. Finally they say goodbye to go home. Ayana and her mother drove them to her car, then

back into the house.

"Mother looks so familiar with them, is there anything I don't know."

Santi's movement when cleaning the table stopped, he then looked at his son.

"Of course, they're best friends with you, you forgot about Uncle Leo and Aunt Natasha, they're the ones, and I just found out that Jonathan is your upperclassman in High School, it's just that when you get into High School, he

I studied in Jakarta. He said he had met you."

Uncle Leo and Aunt Natasha, of course he did not forget that name. Because her mother often told her about their good times

helping a single mother take care of me. But about Jonathan he

not even consciously meeting him.

****

Tonight Ayana could not sleep, the incident was like a dream for her, repeatedly she patted her cheek hoping that all that happened was a dream. But all in vain because he could feel pain, it meant

the incident Jonathan proposed to her was a reality.

Why did he only ask for a week, should have asked for more. How could he decide such a big thing in such a short amount of time. Because he could not sleep, he finally decided to pray Istikharah. Prayer is performed when someone is asking God for guidance in making a decision.

"God give me the power to change what I can change. Give me patience for something I cannot change. And give me the cooperation to distinguish between the two. If Jonathan is the right companion for me, show me Your power, O God. Hopefully the decision I will make is the one that

best for everything."

Finished performing the prayer he did not immediately fall asleep but sat pensively on Sajadah, slow sea drowsiness began

assaulted him. He fell asleep before he could get to his bed.
