Finally, I Love You
# 16 -

Hayam and Gayatri are now at the airport three hours ahead of scheduled departure. They have checked in and checked their baggage. During the process from the beginning to the gate waiting for the call of the attendant, Hayam never let go of his hand on Gayatri.

He knew the girl had a fear of boarding the plane because of the accident that befell her father. His hand felt cold in Hayam's grasp, he then calmed the girl while rubbing her back slowly.

"All will be well, nothing will happen. You can keep holding my hand."

Gayatri nodded her head slowly with Hayam beside her, the man will definitely take care of her.

Before long they heard officers announce the plane with the flight number listed on their boarding pass.

"Let's go in." take Hayam out Gayatri's hand to stand up and step inside.

Gayatri walked beside Hayam and clasped his hand tighter and gripped the man's upper arm.

Seven hours and thirty minutes later the plane arrived at Tokyo Narita International airport.

There they were picked up by family man Akihiko Ito's uncle and taken to his residence.

From the airport to Akihiko's uncle's residence takes an hour by car.

There they were greeted with open arms and warm Gayatri had told her mother that she would visit with Hayam. His mother was happy to hear the news and so was his father. He's happy if Gayatri wants to visit there.

After dinner they talked in the family room while enjoying tea and snacks, Hayam also without lingering again said his intention to marry Gayatri.

"My purpose here other than to visit my uncle and aunt is to ask permission to marry Gayatri." Hayam said that firmly.

"Isn't that very good news right shujin" Gayatri's mother said as she looked at her husband full of happy twinkle.

"Yes you're right Tsuma. That's very good news, you give us joy and happiness son. "uncle Akihiko chimed in Gayatri's mother's words.

"Mom can finally see you get married baby, you have to be happy with your own life. Now that I'm happy living with uncle Akihiko, don't get stuck with the past dear. Okay!" the message to Gayatri. Gayatri's mother still calls Akihiko uncle for adjusting Gayatri's call. The girl was not used to calling Akihiko by the name of father. And Akihiko doesn't mind that as long as Gayatri is comfortable.

"I'm happy if mom is happy too. Don't worry, I'm so lucky to have met Hayam, he takes care of me so much" Gayatri said confidently.

"Mother take it easy, I will make your daughter the happiest woman I am with." Hayam promised for sure.

"So when are you getting married? " ask Akihiko.

"Next week uncle, so we hope the arrival of the family uncle to attend." replied Hayam.

"Yes. We'll come to your wedding. We will take Kenji along as well" Akihiko said in response to her arrival at their wedding.

"Yes right, doesn't it coincide with summer holidays." - Gayatri's mother.

"It looks like there's something I missed here, who's Kenji?! " ask Hayam directly.

"She's my younger brother." Gayatri and Hayam replied directly turning to him.

"Really's?! ". she asked to make sure.

Gayatri nodded it made a happy smile rise on the faces of Akihiko's uncle and his mother. They are happy because the relationship between Gayatri and Kenji is not as rigid as the relationship between the two of them and Gayatri.

" yes. He is our youngest child now busy in college. But he will definitely be in your wedding celebration because the day after tomorrow has started summer vacation." Akihiko's uncle told Hayam.

"I'm glad to hear it uncle. So I'll have another brother" Hayam said solemnly.

"Yes, I hope so too." said Akihiko's uncle.

They continued the chat until near midnight and by now it was time for them to rest.

"It's been the night you guys should rest. Your rooms are already prepared and your belongings have been placed inside as well." Gayatri's mother explained the location of their rooms.

Gayatri and Hayam were put in separate rooms considering they were unmarried.

Hayam dan Gayatri hanya dua hari berada di sana karena mereka harus mempersiapkan pernikahan mereka.

Although not willing because togetherness with his daughter is fairly short but he realized if a lot of preparation to be done by Gayatri and Hayam.

If there's any more time they promise to come here often.

.

.

"How are you feeling?! " ask Hayam when they're on the plane.

He felt relieved and lighthearted after meeting his mother, and his mother also looked happy. Uncle Akihiko also looks very loving to his mother, when viewed from the interaction of the two of them during his time in Sana.

Maybe during their marriage both his mother and uncle Akihiko did look to love each other, but he chose to close his eyes and ignore it because of the shadows of the past.

"You will also be happy with me Aya, we will have our own happiness." he promised the girl.

"Yes. I trust you Hayam. We will create our own happiness." said Gayatri with a sweet smile.

*****************

After Hayam and Gayatri returned from Japan for almost a week they did not meet each other. Besides being busy because their work is also a plan from Hayam's mother, Marisa.

He deliberately did not allow Hayam to meet Gayatri before their wedding day, even meeting through mobile phones was prohibited.

"Mother, it's too much if I can't just meet Aya on my phone!" hayam's protest was upset at his mother.

"It has to be like that Hayam! let no evil eye lurks the bride." replied Hayam's mother relaxed.

"But it's been almost a week mother and tomorrow we're getting married." Hayam still doesn't accept her mother's ridiculous excuse.

"Well, you've been through the pingit period for six days just wait one day what a hard thing." Marisa said lightly as light as the pillow she arranged in Hayam's room.

"Bu is now a modern era why it still has to be dipingit all. And why Aya's phone can't be contacted, this must be my plan, right?" ask Hayam full of questions.

Marisa who had been busy decorating and tidying up Hayam's room immediately stopped, seeing that Hayam realized that her guess was right.

"Yes out of pulses" he replied.

What?!!! couldn't her mother find a more reasonable excuse?! how could the girl run out of pulses?!!

As Hayam was about to protest his mother his cell phone rang, Hayam quickly saw who called him. His body was limp when he saw Rey's name on the screen of his phone.

"Yes, what's wrong?! " Hayam held up his phone slightly and walked out of the room to his study. When he closed the door, he wanted to feel like he was slamming the door of his study hard.

"Why are you so tired of answering the phone from me! " said the caller from the other end.

Hayam stopped his steps and stared at the phone he was holding. Does he hallucinate to the point that Rey's voice turns into Gayatri's voice.

"Well, if you don't say anything I just turn it off." Gayatri's voice was heard from across the street and the phone call was cut off.

A second later he realized that it was indeed Gayatri, the girl he had been missing for almost a week. Without much thought again he made a video call, long time not lifted he repeated it again.

Newly tried to three calls raised and that appeared not Gayatri but Rey with a face annoying him.

"Where's Gayatri! " hayam asked directly without greeting and he only realized that Rey could meet Gayatri while he was not.

"He's busy." Rey replied casually full of lies.

"How can you be there?!" asked Hayam sharply full of probing.

"That's my advantage dude." Rey replied with a confident smile.

"You... " Hayam wanted to curse the man but was cut off by Rey's words.

"Didn't you miss him?!" Rey pointed her camera at Gayatri and only saw her back. Although it only looks back but Hayam knows that it is the girl.

Rey then continued saying, "It doesn't matter how I got here, but now I just want to make a deal with you." pause for a moment before Rey continues, "I'll give this phone to the girl if your offer is good dude.".

"Based on your friend*****can be at a time like this asking for a reward! " sayam was upset.

"I'm just accepting a good dude's offer, not a swearing from your sweet mouth. If you're not willing I'll close this call." Rey is really so annoying.

"Car. I'll give you the new car you want." Hayam replied quickly.

"OKAY. The deal! " Rey answered quickly and walked half-run towards Gayatri. Just looking at the girl's back it felt like she had a hard time running to hug him. It sounded Rey calling the girl and just as she turned her head over the disconnected video call connection.

Hayam is still waiting maybe soon it will be connected again. Not a video call he received but a message from Rey.

......Sorry dude my phone battery ran out and it turns out I can't fool Aunty Marisa. You should be able to hold the dude for a little while, just until tomorrow. Okay!!!! ......

"What??!!! fucking Rey!!!!!!!" yam's upset.
