Ayu leaned her body to the side, staring far out. His mind was not calm yet, he was still worried about his decision to report Arumi to the police station.
However, Ezra's words were also a consideration of the woman at this time.
"You don't get along with Melati, how she feels, when she sees her real mother in prison and it's all because of Papah and her own sister!"
"Think what if you become Melati, huh!"
The words said by Arumi when he was going to be taken to the police station, made his mind completely messed up.
"Don't keep thinking about it, let it all go how it should, hem," Ezra glanced at the woman who was kicking her. Giving a warm smile as an encouragement to Ayu.
Ayu lowered her head, squeezing the tip of the hijab she was wearing.
"I'm afraid this could all create a rift in that family. Maybe from the beginning I shouldn't have met them" the woman muttered.
He had felt the pain of living alone, and he did not want that because of his current problem Melati also felt what she felt first.
Ezra stopped his car, on the side of the road that felt empty.
"I know you have a very soft and sincere heart. But, do not make the tenderness of your heart, become a weakness. We don't know what the future will be like, don't always think too much,"
Ezra looked fixed beautiful face that now looks very tired.Pale lips with teary eyes, now adorn women in front of him.
How not, last night the woman drove herself for eight hours more from village to town, and had just arrived before dawn.
After that, it rushed straight to Larry's house, and until now the time was almost night, even a grain of rice had not entered into his digestion.
Ezra has been asking her to eat. However, his stubbornness made the man give up and let Ayu calm down first.
Yes, yesterday Ezra contacted him, and said he would make Arumi's arrest. At that moment, Ayu immediately rushed to go home without telling anyone in the city.
Even Ezra himself did not know that Ayu would come directly in Arumi's arrest.
What's he coming there for?
I don't know, Ayu doesn't know either. It's just that yesterday his heart felt compelled to go home immediately and come to Larry's house this morning.
"Already the Adhan, we better look for a mosque or mosque first" said Ezra when the voice of the adhan was heard.
Ayu nodded in agreement to the proposal of the man beside her.
A few moments later, they had arrived at the courtyard of a fairly large mosque.
"Later to meet here again yes," said Ezra before the two split into their respective places of worship.
After performing his duty as a Muslim, Ayu sat down for a while, with her hands looking up praying for enlightenment in her heart, in taking every step and decision.
Worship His greatness, and complain of sadness in the heart that still feels stuck, to make himself unable to find a way out.
Tears also dripped indicating how heavy the burden he was now facing.
"Sorry, I'm old?" ayu asked, after arriving in front of the man who was waiting for her.
"No, I haven't been too long, either" Ezra replied, developing a smile as he looked at Ayu's slightly calmer face than before.
"We eat first yes, I'm hungry" said Ezra rubbing his stomach with a slight grimace like a person holding back hunger. Though it was all just pretending that Ayu wanted him to eat.
"May," nods Ayu before getting into the car.
His feelings were indeed calmer after pouring out all the turmoil felt to the Almighty.
"What do you want to pesen?" ezra asked as they were already sitting in one of the small restaurants, but it looked quite crowded.
"Me, sweet tea is warm" said Ayu.
"I can't, you have to eat too. If you don't eat .. I don't want to eat either!" Ezra was a little threatening.
Hufth ....
Ayu exhaled an annoyed breath. His eyes saw Ezra sharp.
"It's up to you" she said.
Ezra developed his smile, then ordered some food that the woman in front of him liked.
"You have to eat, do not ignore health, remember to solve problems also need energy. If you're sick who's gonna solve your problem, hem?" ask Ezra at length. His gaze was locked on the pretty face of a woman he greatly admired.
"Ish, why are you so chatty? Besides, if I'm sick, aren't you ready to solve my problems?" annoyed Ayu, stared back at Ezra's black bead, with a faint smile adorning her pretty face, trying to tease the famously cold man.
"Really, so now you've allowed me to go deeper into your life, haem?" Ezra looked excited.
"Eh, I mean it's not like that. Don't you always help me?" Ayu looks nervous, but it's all because of her own game.
"Ndi .. I know this is not the right time for me to express my feelings to you. But I'm not a teenager who doesn't know how I feel about you. I'm also sure you know how I've felt about you all along."
Ezra placed one of his hands on his chest, right where his heart felt beating in the moment of his last word.
Ayu looked down deeply, she was unable to see the expectant face of the man who had always been beside her.
"You don't have to answer now, I'll wait until you're ready to give me an answer. But, please don't forbid me to have this taste."
"Look at me, Ndi," said Ezra.
Ayu slowly raised her head, staring in teary-looking eyes.
"You have been pulling my heart from the very beginning we met .. slowly the feeling developed, now I love you. I want you more than a friend or a sister. I want you to be my wife and the mother of my children."
Ekhm ....
Ezra cleared his throat to relieve his suffocating throat. Strengthening the body before speaking again.
His hand was looking for something he always carried in his pants pocket.
"Ayunindia Clarissa, will you marry me?" ezra asked, with a firm and steady sura without the slightest hesitation heard. A straight look at the beautiful bead of the woman in front of him.
His hand held a golden ring, with unique carvings on it and several gems that added to the beautiful ring. In it there are carvings of the names Ezra and Ayu.
Ayu stared at the nanar, the ring that Ezra had prepared at some point.
"I-I don't deserve to be with you. I'm just a woman who can't have children until my husband and father-in-law just dump me."
The woman spoke softly, with tears that had dripped down her cheeks, her memory returning to the time when she was ignored by Radit and hated by Sari, for the reason of not being able to give offspring.
It turned out that the incident was enough to make Ayu experience trauma. The fear of experiencing the same from her new family makes her hesitant to start over.
Ezra shook his head, "I already have Naura, descendants will not be a hindrance to me, nor will my family. You just need to be sure of me, and see me alone. Don't accuse others, even if it's our own family."
The man continues to convince the woman in front of him, that he and his family are not the same as his husband and also his father-in-law.
Ayu was silent with confused thoughts and was surprised, she never expected that Ezra would express her feelings this quickly.
He did not deny with the feelings he had for the man in front of him. However, a feeling of doubt and fear still enveloped his heart.
"Look, you hold this ring. Another week is Naura's birthday, if you accept me, then wear this ring on your finger. But, if you refuse me don't wear the ring." Ezra put the ring in his hand on Ayu's palm.
"One thing you have to remember is that whatever your answer will be. I hope our relationship will remain like this, nothing will change between us, especially Naura."
Ayu nodded her head, with her hand grasping the ring that Ezra had placed.
The two of them re-enacted their bodies and behaved normally, as the waiter delivered Ezra's order of food.
"Whether you eat first, I deliberately order soup to let your stomach feel warm. I know you haven't eaten in the morning, have you?" cerocos Ezra while starting to prepare food for him.
Ayu just looked at her heart, the man who was busy arranging the dishes on the table.
For some reason that night, the food found it hard to get through her throat.
Seeing Ezra's attitude was still as usual, but there was hope emanating from the black bead of the man before him, every time they met a glance.
That night, they separated after a fairly late day. Ezra drove Ayu to his house, sure enough, his car was parked neatly in the garage.
"Thank you" said Ayu, before exiting Ezra's car.
"Enough rest, don't think about Aunt Arumi's problem, let it be my business, huh?"
Ayu nodded faintly, with a faint smile adorning her face.
"You too, don't forget to rest .. be careful on the road," said Ayu a little nervously.
"Assalamualaik."
Ayu got out of the car immediately, after saying her regards.
I don't know why he felt ashamed, saying the words earlier.
"Waalikumsalam," murmured Ezra with a stifled smile, tapping the amused back of Ayu who had walked into the courtyard of the house.
All of Ayu's attitude could always make her heart warm and calm.
Although they have not been bound by any status, but, at least now he has felt a little relieved, because it has expressed feelings that have been hidden.
Now he's just waiting for an answer from the woman, one more week.
Ezra just ran his car when Ayu has entered the house.
Inside, Ayu stared at the man's car, from the window of his room.
