When Your Love Knocks on the Door of My Heart

Zen Proposal

I don't feel like time goes by so fast. By two o'clock in the afternoon, Dad arrived home. I hugged my father who barely six months ago did not meet.

My father was a farmer and a farmer. My father was a distributor of agricultural materials. No wonder, if you often go out of the house unscheduled.

"Father glad you guys could come. Did your parents know you were coming to town?" Dad smiled with great authority.

Zen nodded silently.

I asked for permission to help mom to give dad and Zen space to talk to each other.

"Almira permission to go back first, yeah"

"Don't be long, Al" Zen in a soft voice looked at me with a smile. I laughed at his attitude.

I say goodbye to the father who just smiled while looking at Zen's childlike demeanor.

I accompanied the mother who was cleaning some beautiful and adorable room plants.

"It's good that the plant shelf, ma'am" I said as I was next to my mother. My mother smiled a little.

"The plant also needs the care and touch of its owner, Al. We like to take care of her too. Later if not treated will not flower and the leaves will also long wither and die" Mother at length advised me. As usual, I just enjoy the beauty.

"Yes, mom. But don't be tired, take care of your health as well" I said slowly. I saw my mother smiling and nodding towards me.

"Are you sure your relationship will be smooth with that kid?" ask mom suddenly.

"Name Zen, ma'am" I protested slowly.

Mom looked at me for a moment.

"Yes, I mean by Zen" mother took a breath as if protesting also with my tone. I smiled a little.

"Give us a chance, ma'am. I saw Zen was persistent, responsible, and he loved me too"

"The thing is your age is too far apart, Al. And the big problem is that you're much older than him" Mom stopped her activities and sat down in a park chair that was available behind our house.

I looked down and played my finger.

"Almira tau, ma'am. And that's what we talked about with Zen before"

"Have you thought ahead before you regretted it" Mother looked at me with a look of parents who were afraid their child was disappointed.

I understand that very well.

I approached my mother and held her hand.

"God willing, Almira will try to accept all forms of consequences of our decision, ma'am. Mother, Father, and others pray for Almira..."

Mom smiled shadyly.

"Always, Al. I just don't want you to be disappointed"

"Thank you, ma'am. Do'a mom and dad and the others are a strong spirit for us" I kissed mom's hand. Mother stroked my head lovingly.

Your mother is the best in my life. The love of both my parents and my family feels so overwhelming. Sometimes when you are angry you are very fierce, but you are a gentle and kind woman.

Mom smiled at me.

"Your sister already has cute twins, maybe soon their third child will be born"

I was surprised to see Mom.

"But my sister didn't say anything to me. Even Arya didn't tell me that" I was a little furious at my sister. That happy news cook didn't tell me?.

Mom laughed at my attitude.

"Mom said maybe. Why are you offended and angry?"

"That's happy news, ma'am. I should have been told too. Later also if Almira's body is also taking care of the baby" I nagged a little.

Recalling that while waiting for the birth of the twins, my sister and her husband did not dare to hold it and I ended up having to take a two-week leave from work.

But it's fun to take care of those cute red babies.

"Sister don't be angry, if the happy news comes I will tell you" suddenly my sister hugged me from behind. I was surprised for a moment.

With this sweet smile my sister kissed my hand. True also said the mother earlier, it's possible...

I laughed to myself

"So don't think you really intentionally didn't tell"

"No, brother, surely he was the first person I told" my sister kissed me on the cheek. A habit that never changed from him in the past.

I smiled and nodded.

"When did you move house?" I asked my sister who looked a little fatter than usual.

"That's been six months, brother. Always go to Mom's place. Especially if Mas Arya duty service outside the city"

"So, her name just moved house but she used to be here with my mom" my sister laughed lightly. Mom just smiled.

"Sir, when are you planning to get married?" my sister looked at me full of probes. I realized I've never introduced one man to my family. Not because they don't want to, but because they don't exist.

I smiled blandly remembering all that.

I don't know, actually where my shortcomings as a woman lie. I'm normal, gentle by my size, kind, and pretty. Pretty I mean.hhhhhhhh.

I'm a smart student from Elementary School to college. This is evidenced by the various achievements in the school that I got. He even participated in Provincial level competitions for several Literature and Science competitions.

But I don't know, all that doesn't make me the girl that a lot of guys like. And the only schoolmate who ever expressed love for me was Albert and that too I refused because there was no feeling in me at that time.

There were some college friends trying to approach me, but again I did not have a strong sense of interest. In my mind just work and learn for a better future.

I took a deep breath. Even when I've been in the world of work I've never had a date. Even if several times combated by a coworker.

Until finally God took me to meet my elementary school student who I used to think was very annoying because he had a sweet face on me and always gave me flowers.

"Heh.." My sister broke my long daydream.

"It was even dreamy. Remember what the hell?"

"Work let alone" I'm a little embarrassed.

"Work in his mind. But, brother think of the young man in front who is facing my father" said my sister with a laugh.

"Even if he is younger but he is equal Arya you know.don't worry" I said proudly.

My sister laughed a lot.

"Maybe he's the boy that you've been waiting for all this time" said my sister again.

I laughed softly.

"Maybe. We don't know who our life partner is. Even if he's a match with brother, you should be happy you know.he's like your sister but will be your sister-in-law" I laughed loosely.

My sister's pouting. My mom was smiling looking at our interaction.

She's an adorable leak in Mama's lap.

When we were joking, Father, Arya, and Zen came together.

"Dad.." said I got up from the chair I was sitting in and gave it to Dad.

I saw Zen so relaxed behind Dad. Sometimes he laughs jokingly with Arya.

"Zen proposed to you" said the father as he sat down and looked at me.

I'm appalled. I stared at the smiling Zen who nodded slowly.

"Dad.." I was waiting for Dad's answer. I was surprised Zen had so quickly told my father his purpose.

I'm still waiting for Dad's answer with a pounding heart and impatient.

I patiently sipped the tea that my mother gave me.

"Dad asked for your consent. Because your father and mother can only approve what your choices and decisions are. I believe Zen won't waste you one day. Especially hearing his struggle to get you"

Dad smiled.

I feel so happy with my father's words. I felt that God was so easy to give way to all the plans we had with Zen.

I feel happy how my parents never made the problems that existed a stumbling block and a big problem for us.

My worries disappeared instantly. I happy.

Zen seemed to smile calmly, very vedic with the look of the face when we left this afternoon in the living room.

Perhaps his conversation with father and Arya made them become familiar with each other. Zen is talented at lobbying.

"How, Al?" dad asked back.

I looked towards my mother and sister. They both smile.

I approached to sit down. I grabbed her aging hand with wrinkles that were beginning to show.

I kissed the old hand full of.

"Almira ready dad. Thank you dad for accepting Zen to be part of this family" I said slowly fan carefully.

Dad stroked my hair slowly.

Then stroked my shoulders gently.

"Dad wait for the official application. So that we can determine the next step. Zen told me everything"

I'm nodding.

The twilight felt very special and meant something to me.
