Trapped in the Love of the Past

Trapped in the Love of the Past

Eps. 98

I have been living in my hometown for three months. The day I went with a fruit salad business and various cakes sold through online. Thank God the windfall is always there and there are some resellers. I'm so grateful that my hudup is so much better for now.

Every day I can save a little money from the sale. Not only that, I took the time to do a salon course. And it's been almost three months since I've almost finished the course. I am also very good at beauty.

Maybe later if my money has been collected, I intend to open my own salon. But later if there is a fortune insyaallah all will be fulfilled. I have to be patient to do all this.

Not only that, thank God all files related to ex-husband is finished. I moved to this city too. Likewise with my ID card, all have been processed and without the slightest obstacle.

*********

Six months have passed, my efforts have increased. And thank God I also opened a salon. By renting a minimalist shophouse and there are two employees to help assist in the salon. I am so grateful for my life now. Hopefully, I will all move forward and open some branches.

A call came in from my sister. I'm gonna lift it up right away. Because I have a filling if there's something really important.

"Hallo, why deck?"

"Sir, can you go home now, right? It's got nyariin."

"Neyariin? Who?"

"Udah just go home first. I'll also know who's coming."

"So, wait for me to come home now."

I hurried to my two caravan at the salon to go home soon. Because there is something. to my two employees Rina and Vivi are already quite proficient for salon business. Both of them also worked at a salon. So I'm not so worried. Because I'm sure they can take care of it.

I drove my two-wheeled vehicle at a fairly fast speed. Because hurry up and want to know who's looking for me. Because my heart beats fast enough. Like something's gonna happen later. Hopefully what happens next is a good thing.

It only took fifteen minutes for my vehicle to be parked in the yard. I was stunned to see a car parked in my yard. Pretty good car in my opinion. Who would have thought that would come. Why is this man looking for me. My heart was a little tense as I was about to enter the house and see who came.

When this foot stepped into the house, I was surprised to see who was coming. These eyes seemed to be in disbelief looking at the person who was now in front of me. I don't know what dream I had last night until he came looking for me. These lips stammered as they were about to say his name.

"Ma...Mas Rendy's.... Miss Rita.."

Rendy's smile never changed. His face was calm with the same posture. So does Bu Rita who seems there are some changes. His face looked fresher and fuller. Thank God I am very happy with the current situation of Miss Rita. More beautiful and youthful.

I immediately walked over to Mas Rendy and Bu Rita. I kissed the back of Ms. Rita's hand, and so did Mas Rendy. They were so happy when they met me. Now I've been sitting opposite Mas Rendy and Miss Rita. There is a nervousness in itself where to start to open a conversation. It still feels very awkward.

"Ehm, same mother Mas Rendy how are you?"

"Thank God we're both good, son."

"Thank God, Mom."

"Where have you been, Lis? Why don't you ever tell me? Even your number is off."

"Why don't you ever talk to me, son?"

"Ehm, sorry ma'am."

"It doesn't need to be extended anymore. The important thing is that we've met you already so happy."

"Yes, thank God, then. I'm also glad you took the time to come here."

"Lis, there's actually something until I'm the same mother come here to look for you."

"Something, what is it?"

"Actually I mean coming here to propose to you."

"What, Mas?" I was surprised by what Mas Rendy said. I still can't believe what he said.

"Lis, as I promised I would come to take you to live with me after your idyllic period is over. And now I'm keeping my promise that I once said to you."

"You're not kidding me, are you?"

"Son, Rendy's not kidding. And it is our intention to come here to propose to you. Are you willing to marry Rendy and become mother's daughter-in-law?"

"Lis, all my assets in Semarang have been sold. The house, the workshop, the car, the motorcycle, everything I have I've sold. And it's been three months that me and my mom have returned to Solo. I've also built a business there."

"That's what Rendy said, son. Both of us have returned to the hometown in Solo. Because I know you'll never want to go back to that city. So maybe this is the best way."

I was still silent and could not give any certainty whether I would accept Mas Rendy's proposal. All of this was very sudden and unexpected. I'm confused how. I feel like this is too soon for me. Because I haven't been a widow for one year and now there's a man in the past who came to propose to me.

"So how, son? Are you willing to marry Rendy?"

"Ehm ma'am, sorry about earlier. It's not that I refuse a proposal. But I think it's too soon for me, ma'am. I still need time to think." My mother who had just been quiet listening to our conversation, finally came to talk too.

"All despair is with you. If you are not ready, wait for the right time. If you are ready, how good. Just follow your heart, after all you also know Rendy and her mother.

What my mother said has a point. But my heart says I'm actually ready. But I'm afraid something will happen as it already has. This dirty mind why it always comes up.

"So how, Lis? Do you have an answer?"

"Or if you're not ready it doesn't matter, I'm the same mom will come again next time. Because I know this is coming so soon, so you definitely wouldn't expect it."

"Yes, kid. If you are not ready, it is not a problem. Rendy will be faithfully waiting for you."

"Bismillah, I hope this decision is the best. And hopefully the future will be much better."

"Mother, Mas Rendy, I. I want to accept the proposal."
