Zahra smothered her lips with tears that were flowing more and more. The girl's shoulders trembled, her sobs were getting heard. The girl lowered her head, looking at the ring in Ardi's hand.
At the moment it is not only Ardi who is nervous waiting for Zahra's answer. But it was also Samuel who stood right beside Zahra, Kenzo and Sahwa who stood at the pelaminan, Micel and Kris who were not far from the place of Ardi and Zahra, and of course the invited guests who had been staring back at them. They were all waiting for the answer to what would come out of Zahra's mouth.
Zahra was at a loss as to what to answer, but after hearing what Ardi said, she also did not want to lose this opportunity a second time. Zahra took a breath and threw it away slowly, she then looked back at the diamond ring in Ardi's hand.
“Iya..” Zahra nodded her head, “iya, I want to marry Kak Ardi,”.
Ardi let out a sigh of relief, both corners of his lips were drawn wide to form a smile. The man then placed the diamond ring on Zahra's ring finger. After that he stood up and hugged tightly Zahra's body, “thank you. Thank you for accepting me.” Ardi then wiped the tears that kept coming out of both corners of Zahra's eyes, “don't cry,” he said.
“Kak kok can do this, will Brother Kenzo not be angry because brother proposed to me at his wedding?” asked Zahra between her sobbing cries.
Ardi smiled, knowing that Kenzo had been staring at him. He then hugged Zahra very tightly, he did not expect his desire to make Zahra as his wife will soon be realized, “you just calm down, let me take care of it,” whispered in Zahra's ear.
Zahra further tightened his embrace, “ I did not expect big brother will directly propose to you,” he said.
“I also did not expect to do this, after Kenzo told me that Samuel was not your fiancee, I went straight out and took this ring from the dashboard of my car. I've been preparing this ring a long time.”
They hugged in a boisterous applause from all the invited guests. Realizing that they instantly let go of their embrace.
Samuel pats Ardi on the shoulder, “quick move also you.” He then reached out his hand, “welcome yes, I'm glad Zahra finally can get her happiness back,” he said.
Ardi shook Samuel's hand and thanked him.
While in Kenzo harrumphed angrily, his “ words would not make a mess, but he instead made a scene all the invited guests,” grumbled.
“Why are you so upset, are you not happy to see them happy?” Zahwa touched Kenzo's arm.
“I was happy to see them finally able to unite, already so much suffering that Ardi had experienced all this time, but finally he was able to get the girl he loved so much. But why would he propose to Zahra at our wedding without asking permission first is me,”.
Micel and Kris set foot on Ardi and Zahra.
“Congratulations yes, Ar. Finally you can get what you want from a long time ago,” said Micel as he reached out his hand.
Ardi shook Micel's hand, “thank you,” he said. Kris also congratulated Ardi and Zahra.
Micel hugged Zahra and let her go, “welcome yes, and I'm sorry for all the bad attitude I had,”. Zahra smiled and nodded her head.
“You do not be happy first, because you have not asked for the same blessing om and aunt,” said Samuel with a smile.
Ardi clasped Zahra's hand, “I will immediately propose you officially to both of your parents. And about Mama and Papa I, you don't have to worry, because they're definitely blessing us. Moreover, Mama already knows you,” he said.
Zahra nodded. But he still feels anxious, when it comes to his mother, he is sure his mother will agree if she marries Ardi, but when it comes to his papa, the girl is not entirely sure. All because of the breakdown of their relationship four years ago.
Papa Zahra thought that Ardi had played with his daughter, and left her in deep sorrow. But Zahra will still try to convince her father that he will approve of their relationship.
Now they were sitting facing each other, only blocked by the round table in the middle of them.
“You why not permission first with me if you want to apply for Zahra?” kenzo asked as he folded his arms around his chest.
Ardi smiled, “sorry, I just thought about it after you told me that Samuel is not Zahra's fiancee.” he then clasped Zahra's hand and kissed her, “I don't want to miss this opportunity again,” said.
“Basic!” exciting Kenzo.
“Kak Micel and her husband to where?” Zahra looked around and there were only them in that place.
“They went home first, Micel was pregnant young, not good to go home late at night,” said Ardi.
Samuel went from his seat, “then I also went home first, because tomorrow I have an important job,” he said.
“What important work?” ask Kenzo.
“Kak Kenzo is strange, of course, operating people, Brother. Brother Samuel is a heart specialist,” said Zahra. Samuel withdrew and walked away.
Ardi looks at the clock on his wrist, “it's late at night. We also have to go home, kasian Kenzo, he must have been impatient to do his first night,” god.
Kenzo looked at his wife who was now bowing her face, “I am already impatient,” he said and he immediately got a pinch on his waist from Sahwa.
Zahra got up from her seat, “don't talk about it in front of me,” she said annoyed.
“Why? Are you wondering how it feels?” Kenzo then looked at Ardi, “I've rented a room at this hotel, do you want to?” goda.
Ardi looked at Zahra who was now staring at him with sharp eyes, “I will do that if it is time. For now I will hold him,” he said.
Zahra took her foot out of Ardi, Kenzo and Sahwa. Ardi hurried up from his seat and chased after Zahra who had come out of the building. They were already in the car, Zahra still looked very upset. Ardi just shook his head, he then drove forward his car.
“Do not mind Kenzo's remark earlier.” Ardi was still focused on looking ahead.
“Who thought that too,” said Zahra ketus.
“Then what are you thinking?” Ardi at a glance turned his gaze to look at Zahra, then he returned to focus looking forward.
Zahra sighed, she then looked at Ardi who was still focused on looking forward, “ini about Papa I, will Papa bless our relationship?”
Ardi stopped his car on the side of the road, then he looked at Zahra's face which looked very sad. Does it have anything to do with the charade that Zahra and I did? thought.
