Why You Should Marry Me

It's impossible to forget

"What do you want?" aira asked the man in front of her.

Aira tried to remain calm, although she was nervous about facing Edo, she did not know what Edo really meant.

"I just want to prove what you said yesterday, you're taking them home, right?" edo asked with beads of eyes that shimmered in all directions.

"OK," said Aira briefly. Aira lowered her head to avoid Edo's eyes.

"What are you waiting for then?" Aira took a position to stand but her hand was held back by Edo.

"Wait for Rianty,"

Aira brushed off Edo's hand while raising her cynical gaze.

"I'm sorry I have to hurry, I don't have much time" he said straightforwardly,

Aira again landed her buttocks on the chair while waiting for Edo's reason to stop her movement.

"Sit down first, I've ordered a drink for you" said Edo, offering Aira's favorite Alpukad juice.

Aira stared at the glass in Edo's sodor, there was a feeling of worry on her.

Seeing Aira's doubts, Edo pulled the glass filled with avocado juice and poured it into his empty glass, then he drank it.

Glek, the glass that was filled in half immediately became empty again.

Edo placed the glass and looked back at Aira.

Because he understood the meaning of Edo's gaze, Aira sucked the drink through the straw in the glass, a few sips enough to make Edo not offended.

"I can't hurt you Rianty" said Edo.

Aira was uncomfortable with her current state, she still doubted whether Edo was still the old Edo.

Aira swallowed her saliva trying to remain calm, so as not to cause excessive reactions.

Silence and stiffness again enveloped their atmosphere back then.

After two years of not seeing each other, Edo feels awkward towards the girl he is facing now.

"Rianty you've changed a lot" Edo said.

Edo's sneer made Aira who had bowed her head, now look up at him.

"We're not talking about Mas's past, I don't have much time to discuss it all" said Aira sharply while staring at Edo sharply.

"Yes I know it's all the past, but the past has something to do with all this, right?"

Aira looked at Edo for a moment, then looked back, she did not want to get carried away and cried at the moment.

Edo took out something from inside his pants pocket, it was like a ring box wrapped in a velvety red cloth.

Aira noticed what Edo was doing.

Edo opened the ring box and saw a pair of rings.

Edo thrust the ring at Aira, so that Aira could see the ring carefully.

Aira grabbed the ring box and noticed the carvings of the two rings.

How shocked he was, it turned out on one of the rings engraved his name.

Aira was stunned not struggling to see what was in front of her at that time.

Aira's eyes on Edo wanted her explanation.

His eyes looked at Edo's bead eyes which were slowly misty as it held back his tears.

Edo took a breath and slowly blew it away then restarted the conversation.

"I ordered the ring a month ago, the edge of a week before I got word my father died" Edo said, wiping away the clear hairs dripping on his cheeks.

Edo puffed his head for a moment, taking a breath in order to hold back his emotions at that moment, he swallowed his saliva back.

Aira was still staring at Edo, her eyes hinting for Edo to continue the story.

"For two years I've been away, I've left you with my father Rianty, I always ask him about you."

"And he always said that if you were okay, he told me, he would take care of you for me Rianty," Edo said, he immediately cried.

Edo placed his face on the arm that was on the table, he covered his sadness and tears with a face that was face down, his body trembling with the cry.

Aira unconsciously followed her to see Edo who seemed to be injured.

It took a while for Edo to regain control of himself.

Edo stroked his head, he wiped the rest of his tears and died of reddening eyeballs.

Aira wiped away her tears, she tried to remain calm, while Aldi she was already provoked by the emotion of hearing a little speech from Edo.

"I didn't come home for two years, so I could finish my studies as soon as Rianty, I also banged my bones, went to college there."

"Actually the money my father sent me was more than enough to finance my life there, but I wanted to propose to you with my own sweat Rianty, Rianty, I also managed to buy the cinci from my own sweat, that's because I have long harbored a sense of you, since the first time I saw you, while peddling tempe around."

Edo swallowed his saliva to dissect his words.

"At first I felt sorry for you, as time went on, I started to like you Ryanti, even though you were in a red and white uniform, and I was in high school."

"I've never had a boyfriend, because I intended to propose to you when you were old enough, even though I know, you never knew what our closeness meant back then, maybe you think of me as just a friend, or you think of me as a brother."

"I kept that feeling for years Rianty, I purposely didn't tell you, I was afraid you'd stay away from me."

Aira was still staring fixedly at Edo.

"Until one day, my father, told me to go to college in Jakarta, but I refused, because I didn't want to be away from you, I wanted to wait for you, until you can understand how I feel about you."

"I kept resisting, but my father kept forcing me and urging me, he was wondering what made me not want to leave this town."

"I'm being frank with him, if I love you and still waiting for the right time to express my love to you Rianty, then my father laughed."

"I asked him if I was wrong to fall in love with you, a daughter of my father's laborer."

"At that time my father did not mind, he did not show his strange nature, and he persuaded me to focus on college , he promised me that he would take care of you, and ask you for me Rianty, and after college he promised to marry us" he said stammeringly.

Edo pulled the liquid that almost came out on his nose, he pulled a tissue and wiped some of his face.

At that time Edo looked so chaotic, so sad and hurt.

"She told me not to go home for two years, so that my college would be over quickly, and we would get married soon, but what happened was not that she was looking after you, but that she wanted you instead, I think he proposed to you for me, it turns out he proposed to you for himself, I feel pain Rianty, how could a person who I once believed could betray me, and more painfully, how could anyone who was so trusted betray me, it turns out that she also wants to have you, when she herself knows, that I've been keeping my heart and feelings for you Rianty, for years,"

Edo could no longer continue his words, he was getting worse in the deepest wounds, his heart hurt as much as it was.

Hearing Edo's words, Aira was also unable to hold back her emotions, she cried bitterly at Edo's exposure.

Edo's body shook violently as he tried to hold back his cries.

Many times he took a deep breath to control his emotions, but the feeling of disappointment was so strong that he was still dissolved in sadness and disappointment.

Aldi was jealous to hear Edo's words, he opened the car door and was about to approach the two.
