Waiting for your Love to Grow

Asking for Your Answer

The morning sun begins to shine, sweeping away the remains of morning dew between the leaves and the grass. Saturday for employees like Nabila is a time off from office jobs that seemed to frown on all his thoughts and energy.

Nabila still seems busy with kitchen tools since after morning prayers. This morning he had to prepare breakfast as well as lunch for his family and 3 of his mother's women who had arrived at his house from morning blind, to help her mama finish her order, a considerable amount of bread will be taken later in the day.

After finishing cooking and arranging food at the dining table, Nabila approached his mother and her employees.

"Mi, ma'am, let's have breakfast first! Let me take the place for the bread", sitting facing the bread ready to be wrapped.

After cleaning the dining table and washing the dishes of her and the people, Nabila changed clothes and rushed out of her room.

"Mi'm going to the tavern, huh? yesterday Sarah called a lot of finished stuff. Just a moment ago, I immediately went back and continued to help mami", said Nabila while kissing her mammoth cheek.

In the yard, Fendi was waiting for his brother on the bike. After her sister boarded, she drove her motorcycle to her sister's tavern.

While in the apartment, Denis, who finished bathing, came out of the bathroom and put on the clothes he had just taken from his closet. He chose to wear a navy-colored shirt with loose 3/4 sleeves and underneath it was combined with old cream-colored canvas pants.

He still looks handsome, despite releasing his usual formal clothes that are attached to everyday. Today he intends to come back to Nabila's house, continuing the plan to propose to the beautiful woman.

He drives the car at a moderate speed. Not to forget he stopped by to pick up his order ring at a jewelry store and bought fruits for Mami Elsa.

Denis' car stopped at Nabila's yard. He got out of the car and walked towards the door of Nabila's house which was already open. The door of the house opened while saying hello. Soon a young woman appeared from inside the house.

"Can I help you?", said Nita as she looked down at Denis.

"Tante Elsa is there?", asked Denis.

"Mommy's inside, I'll call for a minute. Please sit down sir", while tidying up the living room full of bread boxes, then go inside.

Shortly after, Elsa's mom came out from inside. He smiled at his guest. Denis immediately stood up and shook Elsa's hand, then sat back down.

"When she's still in the store, but soon she's home" Elsa's mommy's story opens up the conversation.

Denis just nodded his head.

"Tante seems so busy?", looking around.

Smiling and saying, "Alhamdulillah nak Denis, there are people who have a feast of bread pesen here"

"Then please continue the work, let me here wait for Nabila to come home" said Denis politely.

"That's it, I join aunty in aja, aunty so I can keep working. Who knows if my energy is needed" Denis said.

"Oh, why if Denis wants to, come on!", standing up and waving to Denis.

The two of them went into the living room, where there were already mami employees.

"Son Denis is sitting here, and then chatting with aunt" said Mami while cleaning the sofa.

"No aunt, I want to stay here and help my aunt" Denis sat on the floor and wrapped the bread in the box.

Mami Elsa who saw Denis attitude just smiled. They talk lightly while doing work. While the mami employees took turns to steal a look at Denis.

30minutes later Nabila and Fendi arrived home. They were surprised that there was a luxury car parked in their yard.

"Who's car, really cool", asked Fendi to Nabila while stroking the car.

Nabila just shrugged both shoulders. He never saw and knew the car. He's coming home soon. When he pulled the living room curtain down, how shocked he was to see Denis sitting on the floor chatting with his mama.

"Mr Denis! what are you doing here?", the word Nabila makes Denis aghast then look at him.

But soon after Denis turned his face back from Nabila and refocused on what he was working on.

Mami Elsa approached Nabila and patted her son on the shoulder, then said, "Take Denis forward, mother will soon follow"

"Son Denis, let's go ahead, let the work be done another. After all you've been helping out too long", Mami Elsa's smile was sincere.

Denis got up from his seat, then walked into the living room and sat back down to the chair he was sitting in. Nabila sat there without seeing Denis at all. Then Mami Elsa came and sat down next to Nabila.

"My aunt here actually wanted to meet aunt and Nabila for friendship while getting answers to my application the other day" Denis said opening the conversation in a soft but firm voice.

"As I said yesterday, son Denis. Everything I leave to Nabila because she will live it all" said Mami Elsa with a sincere smile. He then pulled one of his hands, gently rubbed the back of the hand and smiled gently at the child who was looking at him.

"How Nab, did you accept me" Denis said expectantly
