My girlfriend is my brother-in-law
I'm not the perfect guy...

Zahra let go of Ardi's embrace, she looked at Ardi's two sad eyes, “Kak..aku, I don't deserve to be big brother,” he said.

Ardi clasped Zahra's hand, “only you deserve me, I don't want anyone but you,” he said.

Zahra lowered her face, she did not know what to say. He does not deny that at this time he is very happy when he finds out that Ardi is not married to Micel. The girl seemed to have new hopes, but when the man returned to express his feelings, why was he so afraid to go through with the relationship?

“Do you not believe me? Is it because I look so old that you don't want to be with me? Are you ashamed to be with me? What..”

Zahra covered Ardi's mouth with her index finger, she then shook her head, “that's not it, Brother. But, are you sure you want to live this relationship with me?” tanyakanya.

Ardi kissed the back of Zahra's hand, “I'm very sure, I'm even willing to wait for you for four years,” he admitted.

“I can't believe that you loved me for four years, but why didn't you ever meet me and call me?” ask Zahra curiously. Whereas for four years Zahra hoped Ardi would come to see him, but for four years he also had to swallow disappointment because Ardi never came to his house, he also did not contact him.

“For one year I always come to your house, but I only see you from a distance. I can't see you because I thought you'd forgotten me when I saw you were with Samuel.”

“Why didn't Ardi come to see me? If at that time you meet me, then this misunderstanding does not need to happen.”

Ardi covered both cheeks of the girl, “I do not regret this misunderstanding, because I can hear all the outpouring of your heart. I'm happy when you say that you love me too,” he said.

Zahra smiled shyly, she herself did not expect herself to say it all either.

“Now answer my question earlier, do you want to live this relationship from the beginning again, with me of course?” asked Ardi with a smile on his face.

Zahra smiled, she then nodded her head. The girl did not want to make a mistake the second time. He also did not want to lose Ardi anymore just because of his childish nature just yet.

Ardi hugged Zahra very tightly, she looked so happy. Ardi opened the car door and got out of the car, he then walked towards the passenger door to open the door for the girl. Ardi stretched out his hand, Zahra gladly welcomed the hand.

They went back into the building. Kenzo smiled as he watched Ardi and Zahra enter the building hand in hand. They also enjoyed Kenzo's wedding which was still going on.

Samuel walked over to Zahra and Ardi, “what problem between you is over?” tanyakanya.

Ardi smiled and then grabbed Zahra's shoulder, “he's mine now, not your fiancee anymore,” he said.

Samuel and Zahra laughed, “sorry, if I had to go and lie to you. I originally wanted to introduce myself as Zahra's older cousin, but I didn't expect Zahra to introduce me as her fiancee,”.

Zahra pursed her lips, “I learned that too from big brother, did you forget?” backbite.

Ardi and Samuel chuckled. Ardi continued to look at the beautiful face of Zahra who continued chattering nonstop, the girl was like a magnet that was able to attract Ardi wherever he was. If they were just the two of them right now, Ardi might have already silenced Zahra's mouth with his lips.

Ardi left Zahra who was chatting with Samuel. The man walked to the table where Zahra and Samuel were sitting. He took a bouquet of flowers which he had given to Samuel.

Ardi walked back to Zahra and Samuel who were still raving without end, “Zahra,” called him.

Zahra turned to Ardi, surprised to see Ardi carrying a bouquet of flowers that had been given by Samuel.

“Kak, the..”.

Ardi smiled, clasped the bouquet and began to gather in front of Zahra. Instantly they both became a spectacle of the invited guests present there. Not only the invited guests, even Samuel, Kenzo, Sahwa, Micel, and Kris were shocked when they saw him.

“What will Ardi do?” Kenzo moved from his seat with both eyes staring at Ardi and Zahra who were the center of attention at the time.

“Kak, what are you doing? Everyone is staring at us,” said Zahra lirih.

Ardi did not answer, he took out a red box from his pocket and opened it. Before meeting Zahra and Samuel, Ardi exits the building and walks to his car. He picked up a box that was placed on the dashboard of his car. The box had been bought a long time ago and he would give it to Zahra, but only now did he give it to her.

“Zahra...” starts, “I know, I'm not the perfect guy who has everything for you. I'm also not a young man who can make you proud when you walk with me holding my hand.”

Both of Zahra's eyes began to pool, and her hands trembled nervously. He was so surprised to find Ardi who was now kneeling in front of him with a box containing a ring in it. The girl was not stupid either, she knew what it all meant.

“I can't promise anything to you, or maybe I can't give you anything special. But..” Ardi started to catch his breath, “you should know. My love for you from the past until now has never diminished one bit, but is growing every day. This feeling I will carry until we age later, until the end of my life.”

Zahra began to sob, she was no longer able to hold the clear liquid that had filled both corners of her eyes.

“Zahra, maybe for you this is too fast, because just earlier we promised to start again. But I've been preparing for all this for a long time, ever since I realized my mistake, I've been intending to do this. But it turns out there was a misunderstanding between us until I put it off.” Ardi took the ring from the box, “now I don't want to put it off again, enough once I lose you, and I don't want it to happen again. Maybe this isn't the right time and place to do this, but I really can't help myself saying this to you. Zahra...want you marry me? Being the mother of my children, and aging together with me?”
