Unknown Love's

Candour

Several times Farhan took a deep breath before he got out of his car. After enough to convince himself, Farhan immediately rushed to knock on the door of Kinara's house. Alisa opened the door.

"Eh, this...Brother Farhan right?", asked Alisa trying to recall the figure of the stranger man.

Farhan smiled showing both dimples of his cheeks, "Yes. Are father, mother and Kinara around?".

"There's sis. Please enter. Brother sat here first yes, I called father first, mother with Kak Kinara", Alisa passed after allowing Farhan to sit in the living room chair.

Before long, Mr. Prastowo and Ms. Hasna came. Looks like Miss Hasna brought a cup of tea on the tray.

Farhan immediately stood up, greeted and kissed the hands of Kinara's parents. Mr. Prastowo and Ms. Hasna received Farhan's courtesy in a friendly manner.

"So, what is Han coming here at night?", asked Mr. Prastowo without further ado.

"Well sir, ma'am, my arrival here intends to ask permission to take Kinara to dinner outside" replied Farhan calmly.

Mr. Prastowo and Ms. Hasna face each other. Ms. Hasna nodded softly to her husband.

"Oh so. Yes, but do not go home too late, yes and be careful", replied Mr. Prastowo.

"Okay, sir, ma'am, thank you".

"So soon, I tried to check Kinara in her room because she didn't say she wanted you out tonight" Ms. Hasna stood up and walked over to her daughter's room.

Mr. Prastowo invited Farhan to enjoy the tea brought by his wife.

"Han, has your mother talked about your marriage to Kinara?", Mr. Prastowo asked again without further ado.

Luckily, Farhan this time did not choke because he had known about it before from his mother.

"Yes, sir, already. Last afternoon my mother had told me that", Farhan replied, putting the tea cup back in its place.

"Hows it? are you ready to marry Kinara?", Mr. Prastowo's question grew sharper.

Farhan looked at Mr. Prastowo with confidence.

"Honestly, sir, if I am personally ready to marry Kinara because it is my goal to propose Kinara as well to make her my wife. But I don't know what about Kinara herself, which is why I asked her permission to take her out tonight is to discuss that, sir. Whatever Kinara's decision will be, I will accept it", Farhan's voice sounded steady.

Mr. Prastowo smiled faintly, he was pleased with Farhan's figure. From the beginning to know Farhan, Mr. Prastowo hopes that the man can accompany, care for and make his daughter happy.

Before long, Ms. Hasna came along with the beautiful and graceful looking Kinara with the next-sleeved floral dress and the hair draped ala slide-up braids. Farhan smiled towards Kinara. Kinara returned the smile nervously.

"Are you ready to go, Ra? be careful, father and mother of the titip Kinara yes, Han and another one, Han, reassure him", said Mr. Prastowo make Kinara's heart pounding.

Farhan and Kinara said goodbye and they left.

During the trip, the atmosphere was quiet. Farhan and Kinara chose to concern themselves with their own thoughts. Every now and then Farhan glanced at Kinara who was just silent, staring out the window and occasionally lowering his gaze.

"Why tense gini anyway?", Inner Kinara.

Whatever happened to his heart and mind, only this time did he really feel uncomfortable being near Farhan. In the past, during college, the two of them often spent time together, talking, joking and laughing without hesitation. But after Kinara got married and did not meet for a long time, the togetherness of the two of them felt so stiff.

"Thank you for coming with me tonight" Farhan finally broke the silence.

Kinara smiled faintly, her eyes only glanced briefly at Farhan then she chose to look back at the streets and the night scenery out there.

"Sorry it's been a hassle because you have to pick me up", just that sentence came out of Kinara's mouth before Farhan parked his car in a restaurant.

Farhan rushed to open the door for Kinara and they walked into the restaurant.

A servant swiftly greeted them and led them to the place Farhan had already ordered.

The atmosphere tonight looks beautiful. The sky is decorated with stars, the strains of violin and romantic piano from the performers tonight accompany the togetherness of Farhan and Kinara.

Kinara's heart was pounding, he felt clumsy enjoying a dinner that felt so romantic.

Farhan looked at Kinara, making Kinara immerse her face in embarrassment. All this time, Farhan had never looked at him that deep.

"Kinara, thank you for bringing me here. There were important things I wanted to say, and sorry, I couldn't make small talk", Farhan began to correct his sitting position.

Farhan's body was stiffer, his gaze deep, shady, and solemn. Several times it was heard Farhan took a breath and exhaled slowly, Kinara could guess, what Farhan was going to convey was more than just important.

"Excuse me, sir, miss, here's the message", the arrival of two servants momentarily dissolved the frost between Farhan and Kinara.

"Thank you" Farhan said to the two servants who passed by respectfully.

"We should eat first", Farhan invited Kinara to enjoy the dish at the table.

The beautiful and romantic atmosphere was frozen to Farhan and Kinara. They tried to calm each other's hearts while enjoying the dinner.

After he finished, Farhan looked back at Kinara deeply. This time Kinara tried not to hide her gaze.

"So, what important thing do you want to say, Han?", Kinara tried to dare to ask.

Farhan smiled faintly, his dimple strokes still visible, "Mmm.I want to propose to you".

Deg

Kinara's heart was racing. His breathing was many times firmer than the first time when he heard something similar from his father a while ago.

"I'm sorry if my way of saying this is too sudden and unromantic", Farhan could read Kinara's change of face.

"Honestly, Ra. I've conveyed my intention to both of your parents and", Farhan's words hang.

Both of Kinara's eyes stared intently, as if waiting for the next sentence that Farhan would say.

Farhan took a deep breath, "And I've already met the Erlangga family to ask for your permission".

Kinara's face was hot, she was sure that her face was currently blushing as it held a thump in her chest.

"My mother and I have come to propose to you. Once again I'm sorry if my way is wrong", Farhan felt bad for Kinara who was still silent.

The romantic melody flowed along with the night wind that gently swept Kinara's face.

Kinara clenched both her hands on the table, she squeezed them for a moment. His mind was confused and his heart was not upset.

"I've heard that from both my parents. Honestly, Han, I was very surprised" Kinara replied.

"So, you already know about this, Ra. Then, what's your answer to my proposal?", Farhan and Kinara's eyes clashed with each other.

Kinara could see the magnitude of Farhan's earnestness. But his heart was still so heavy as to be able to give an answer.

"Why did you propose to me, Han? you know I'm a widow. A good man like you deserves a much better woman than me. You deserve a woman who has never been married".

Jleb

Kinara's words pierced Farhan's heart.

"Ra, I don't care about your current status. I just know that my intentions are good and I'm.Honestly, Ra, I love you so much. I once failed to get a chance to have you, I accepted your marriage. But our current meeting, I believe God gave me a second chance. I just want to be able to love you halal and whole, can keep and accompany you forever", explained Farhan Iirih.

Farhan's words felt like a pain in Kinara's heart. At the same time, Kinara could not lie to herself, she was pleased with Farhan's good intentions but on the other hand, she did not want to betray her love and loyalty to the late Erlangga.

"But Ra, I won't force you to accept me. For me, the second time I conveyed my good intentions, it already made me happy. I understand your current situation and position, it is certainly not easy for you to accept other men in your heart and life, including accepting me. If you are still heavy with all that, make a decision that will make you happy" Farhan continued.

The pain cut Kinara's heart. He could see Farhan's earnestness, Farhan's love language so stifling. Kinara knew Farhan was a very good man, he was sure everything Farhan said about his feelings was impossible for Farhan to break. But again, half of Kinara's heart was still tied to Erlangga. All this honesty is painful.
