Akmal tried hard to ignore the surrounding gaze, he who stood alone right in front of the door of the building became a special concern for women who might be the bride's family.
Not knowing what the girls were whispering, Akmal closed his eyes several times neutralizing the slight embarrassment he felt. Don't know, if the girls actually admire Akmal figure. They show each other off.
Retno rese once, for the first time Akmal can say so. Once his mother, after inviting him home and their steps on the doorstep of the building, precisely stopped because they met again with his old friend.
It's been repeated three times, and for this time Akmal has no hope. Staring casually at the Mother who had just patted her on the shoulder, walked out the door with a smile.
"Udah?" tanya Akmal was lazy, who immediately embraced Retno while chuckling softly. You know if this son is tired of waiting.
"Udah, really." replied Retno, smilingly affirming. "And the real now." he said, responding to Akmal's incredulous gaze.
Akmal finally sighed, now nodded. "Sorry, Bun.. Mother's abisnya a lot of events." he lamented.
Retno's outstretched hand grabbed Akmal's arm, carrying her son walking side by side towards the car. "Yes understandably.the name is also female, on average it is also so." pretext Retno. "This is also the amount of exercise before you have your wife bothered like this."
Didn't he? Akmal scrunched his forehead to hear the last sentence of the Mother's words, he did not believe. Where is Agnia like that? His future wife is not like his mother who is crumpled, Akmal sure.
"Why? Can't believe?" retno asked, their steps stopping right in front of their car. The dubious gaze Akmal addressed underlies the question. "We'll see, I guarantee you a hundred percent."
Akmal sniffed his shoulders indifferently, whatever. The two children's mothers did not know if they were still the attention of the girls behind there, staring amazed a little misbehaved.
"Sedeket is the same mother, you know.dream very much!" said one of them who was simultaneously embraced with amazed eyes.

The opposite situation occurred between Gian and Agnia, not understanding why Gian became moody. Just smiling so much since getting into the car, making Agnia so wrong made. Doubtfully looked at the man while wearing a seatbelt.
Which words offend Gian? Agnia began to recall every sentence from her words earlier. When talking about Sila? Or maybe Wildan? The problem is from Agnia's point of view, the two topics are not at all sensitive so Gian must behave so.
"Have you?" gian asked, looking at Agnia with a better smile. He is aware of the discomfort of Agnia, which may arise because of his unclear attitude.
Though Agnia was just telling the truth about something from her point of view, that was all.
Agnia nodded, replying with a faint smile. To then straighten his gaze towards the road, and go back to contemplating his mistake.
Gian had done his car between the silence, causing the roar of the car as well as the crowded streets in the ears.
Silence while being with others is killing, raising excess prejudice that peppers simple things into a time bomb that is ready to explode at any time.
Gian did not want so, until after sighing deeply he then turned to the girl next to him through the rearview mirror. Decided to break the silence. "Sorry.." he said.
Before long, Gian was focused on the streets when Agnia turned back. The sudden apology made Agnia sure that something was stuck but she did not want Gian to say.
It seems exhausting, Inner Agnia. That kind of feeling was truly excruciating, all of course oenah felt. Including Agnia.
"For?"
"Be a big brother." replied Gian while looking at a glance. "Something's bothering me, but there's no need for you to think. It's not because of you at all."
The man's answer was puzzling, yet his gaze was serious. Making Agnia not interested in asking or memastika something, fearing that will make Gian increasingly uncomfortable.
...
Today's trip is not planning that awkward, especially after visiting the orphanage earlier. Gian feels alive and replenished because of his sweet interaction with the children.
But something that Gian still can't express bothers him, so he maintains that awkwardness even until they arrive in front of Agnia's house.
Agnia certainly felt guilty, but she herself did not understand what made Gian change like that. His head was dead, finding nothing of his guilt.
"Sister, I. thank you." great-granddaughter Agnia, not only hesitated but also confused because of this unclear situation. It felt like Agnia wanted to quickly get out of the car to not air anymore with Gian. Honestly speaking, the drastic change in emotions of the tall man next to him was truly frightening.
"Awhile.." Gian immediately prevented, stopping Agnia who seemed to want to jump from the car.
Agnia stayed in place, opening the car door. He pulled his hand over his thigh. Back to Gian with a ready look to listen.
Gian let out a long sigh, as if what he was going to say later was so difficult to explain. His back was raised no longer leaning.
The man smiled again before opening his mouth, a subtle smile once forced. "Somehow you will respond after this, but what I will tell you now, promise not to burden you."
Agnia did not blink, would still hear Gian's explanation. But his heart suddenly rippled, what could burden him?
Gian's eyes looked straight at the pretty eyes of Agnia, hoping to transfer the depth of her feelings through her explanation. "Agni. who all this time my sister liked it. you."
Netra Agnia grew up just like that when she heard Gian's confession. This recognition is not only surprising and means many things, but also raises questions about many things. Agnia did not know what to react to this time, she immediately normalized her expression.
"It may come as a surprise, but you've never been replaced at all." murmured Gian honestly, not taking his gaze away from Agnia.
"Even when you failed to get married three years ago, honestly, you were happy. But with my folly, for the second time today, that hope is shattered again."
Gian swallowed his saliva, momentarily creating silence. Before long his gaze turned distant. "It's only that you guys are so perfect to be together, and it makes you disappointed, sad, sorry too."
"For the second time, brother is faced with a sad reality."
Agnia was sculpting, starting to process many new things in her head. Hearing Gian why is his heart hurting? Every single one of his words sounded slashing yet firm at the same time. Agnia doesn't understand, does Gian like her? But why. and since when?
"Just this time, there's no bad hope. As long as you are happy, and the boy treats you well, I have no complaints" Gian said more calmly, after a moment of silence and averted his eyes.
Agnia nodded, one by one the shocking facts she discovered from the people in her past. Along with the increasing number of questions that arise because of that.
"Why didn't Gian ever show up?" asked Agnia, making Gian turn back to his interlocutor. Staring long. "So big brother Gian feels that way. Shouldn't big brother be looking for me? Ignoring what happened to me at the time. But it's the opposite. Therefore, Kak Gian's confession sounds sincere but also laughable at the same time "
Gian was silent, not unable to answer but.. "Is that important now? It's all over. And you don't expect that question from you, saying that alone makes me feel better."
Agnia sighed, nodding softly. Indeed, it's all come this far. Gain and her recognition of Agnia with her stance is no longer related.
"It's over, in conclusion, we've come this far to take a step, there's no choice but to go through my options and.. Big brother is living a new day by not getting stuck with this feeling."
"Try liking Sila, that's my request Brother.."
Gian sighed in frustration, should he reiterate once more? Why are Sila and Sila again what Agnia discussed. Didn't know Agnia, that by not having it alone has made her desperate. Still should the name of Sila be brought around?
Agnia sighed slowly. "Like it or not, what is it? I once loved someone. But what's the end, brother? he made me waste my precious time, the days when I should have grown up happily passed by."
"Love makes me that bad, brother."
Gian rubbed his face rough. "So what do you want to say?" tanyakanya.
"Consider Please."
Please again? Agnia does not understand. It's about Gian's feelings for her, but the girl brought Sila back up for nothing.
"I don't see any flaws from him, why doesn't Kak Gian like him?"
Gian sighed slowly. "You don't understand, Agnia.he's so different from you." Gian said, sounding real. It was also the first time Gian called her Agnia instead of Agni, exactly the way Gian called her first.
"And what do I have?"
Gian's eyes again look far, if only mention anything he likes from Agnia, it's too easy.
"You're fun, your anger's the best, your choices about many things I love. But Sila, he. he even likes boring novels, he is not angry, and is always persistent even though many times treated badly."
Agnia was amazed, if that is not the sign that Gian likes her so much? Compared to Sila the protagonist who likes it, Gian prefers to pursue Agnia the antagonist who is not always hostile to him. Again, Agnia was rendered speechless.
"That's what pisses me off, the fact that you're going to be with someone else is also the fact that my first love failed, it hurt a lot."
...
Agnia took her own time, in her old room. Sitting on the balcony of the spacious room hugging his knees, overlooking the small-looking cityscape from afar. Gian's confession shook him enough. It was as if the overwhelming regret heard from the man's confession was contagious to her as well.
The same question popped into his head. If Gian had met him earlier than Akmal, would his heart be anchored to that man?
Nah! Agnia threw out that thought, her eyes closed for a moment. He had to sweep the mess in his head, where he could yell at Gian just because of the fact that the man liked him a long time ago.
While now he has no reason to reject Akmal, Gian is right. Akmal did not have one thing to reproach, to be perfect to be his priest.
Agnia breathed a long, lost breath that another ngawur thought came along.
Uh! Thanks to the name Akmal flashed through her mind, Agnia recalled her message earlier. Curious what the boy's response was when he found out he was going with Gian.
Already home? as soon as the contents of the Akmal message that was sent three minutes ago, it seems that it had only been reply and out of nowhere he went. Agnia immediately typed out her answer, in short.
^^^New nyampe.^^^
Sorted by Gian again?
^^^^^^^
Oh..
Oh only? Agnia became confused when Akmal's answer was only two letters, without thinking if all the time his message to Akmal was as short and even worse. His hand stopped typing a reply, not knowing what to respond to.
It is the difference between Akmal and others, because no one can make it awkward or prestige like Akmal did. The man mastered Agnia's emotions unnoticed.
Would that be enough to answer if he liked that guy? Even Agnia never kagok on Gian, Rizwan or even Adi first, but Akmal gave a different sensation the more familiar.
"You like him?" so one of Gian's questions that he could not answer clearly earlier. Agnia can not tell Gian if today love or like is not a priority in his heart, because if so Gian could have thought if he was forced to agree to this matchmaking.
Agnia sighed, Like it or not Agnia feels right to be exaggerated because it is still far from marriage. As well as many things that can happen before the yellow janur curves, Agnia is well versed about it.
What about today, Ma'am? Akmal's message came again, Agnia immediately typed in a reply as soon as she got an answer. But soon he was removed, it happened again. He only realized that his behavior was too excited and could have made Akmal misunderstand, too eager to reply.
Another thing came and created a fight in Agnia's head, one supporting her prestige and the other telling her to be more relaxed. What does her sense of prestige mean? You are already getting married!! How can you guys keep that ugly? thus another inner Agnia shouted.
^^^Fine, children seem happy^^^
^^^when we come.^^^
No. I mean, are you happy?
^^^ Certainly, I am the most pleased^^^
^^^between them.^^^
...
Of course, I am the happiest among them.
And yuuu?
Howwasyourday?
Akmal, who had half-typed, now sat in his seat. Whatisthis? Hard to believe, the message that Agnia sent back made Akmal not blink unconsciously.
Waitaminute! Akmal was still amazed, rereading Agnia's question. It's not wrong, and it's amazing. Illlla could feel Agnia softening through her chosen word.
A second later, it stopped in amazement but now the reply made Akmal who was alone in his room could not help but smile. Can't be hidden, he's acting wrong.
Akmal had to wait a few minutes longer to continue his typing back to Agnia, a warm feeling like radiating filled every corner of his heart.
^^^What an amazing day, today was fun.^^^
^^^ I'm happy.was asked so.^^^
Who would have thought, the simple thing to ask managed to melt down the grievances that Akmal felt this morning. Now Akmal understands why such simple questions are important for women, the energy they cause is not playing.
Don't exaggerate! that's just a simple question!!!!
Akmal likes the many exclamation points that Agnia uses, as if seeing firsthand the adorable anger of Agnia.
I have an appointment tomorrow,
Can you bring me?
Akmal again misbehaved again with the message he read. The question made him float, not the matter of the sentence.
More than that, the attitude of Agnia who began to comfortably ask and ask for it meant a big thing. Akmal was happy, as he said. Today finally happened.
