Instantly the crying became more intense and broke the silence that had occurred for a moment. I hugged the middle-aged woman in front of me so tightly and longingly.
"Mom... I'm sorry ma'am..." I continued to babble apologizing to her. At that moment his embrace tightened and then he said to me, "You're not wrong, son. Mother's fault for not paying attention and understanding your feelings. I promise," the woman held her sentence and then slightly distanced me from her. "From today onwards, there will be no more tradition of getting married at 20. Forever, you and Reyna can freely marry the person you love and at any age." A smile full of love tugged on his lips.
But when he mentioned my sister's name, he looked down sadly. “Mother, thank you for not forcing me to always follow your will. But I also don't want to see Mother sad because of Reyna. I'm sure he'll be fine and will come ba
The sun was already in the middle of the earth, the heat was very intense and made my body drenched in sweat because of an hour sitting in a chair in the backyard of the house that was not hindered by anything.I'm still waiting to hear from Will.Because since an hour ago, after Dad and my brother came back, they didn't say anything about Will and always ignored my questions about the boy.My hunch was that there was something odd about them.They said, Father and Royce went to the center of the Willis district to meet Elder Nobi.And all they talked about was the fate of Mother's house in Willis being torn down.And the victims involved.Then they didn't talk anymore.Because after that, we all talked about our longing and feelings of resignation and letting Reyna leave this family.Then, we all threw jokes and jokes at each other accompanied by smiles and cheerful laughter from all of us.
“Will…” I sighed at the name of the young man who was looking at me lovingly.He just smiled and hugged me tightly.Just a few seconds ago the young man removed his lips from me with our gasping breaths.But I wanted to go on and keep asking him with sighs and seductive expressions, hoping that he would continue with a hotter kiss.Even so, Will still restrained me from suppressing the burning desire in my chest by embracing me in his stout body."It's not that I don't want to, Rumi.But I want to keep it until our wedding, you remember that right?”he whispered softly, he coaxed me to hold back this deepest desire that had come from nowhere.I didn't reply to him.I just made my hug tighter to him with a flat face.He heard Will sigh.And I'm just silent.The cause of my desire was because I remembered Peter's painful k
After I'm done with the dress and make up pretty, I think.I walked out through the bedroom door gracefully towards the room Will mentioned.When my steps started to get closer to the room, in my chest, my heart was beating fast.My mind is now full of images of me and Will being together later after we got married.It will definitely be full of happiness, as well as harmony.We will be the best couple in the whole world!I'm so excited to think about this.But when I reached the barrier between the vestibule and the living room, my steps stopped for a moment.My eyes widened in fear when I saw someone sitting next to Mr. Emen, he was a young man I didn't want to meet after that incident.But it was too late, Trudy had seen me."Miss Rumi," he greeted from among the gathered people.Then make those who were there turn to me at the same time and smile happily at my arrival.Inc
During this long journey, Mother explained my question this afternoon.Since the sun had already set and it was supposed to be, the proposal took place this afternoon at three o'clock.Huh!Because of my uncertain feelings, finally my engagement event was postponed until later everything was ready.My mind just kept grumbling annoyed because of my own actions."Since yesterday Mom and Dad have been chatting with the young man who loves you.He really will make you the happiest woman in his life.That's what he told us.He kept convincing Mom and Dad to accept his proposal for you.And finally, your father accepted the young man.And you know, Rumi, it was him and your brother Royce who planned all of this.”Mother's explanation was so detailed that there were no more questions in my head about this.My family and I finally decided to accept Will as a member of the Harfi family.&
"What do you mean Peter?"suddenly I stood up and asked in an angry tone.Peter smiled lopsidedly as he walked slowly toward me."I bought you this dress, beautiful isn't
The look on Will's face scared me, he had turned into someone I never imagined."Why do you want to kill your friend?"suddenly I asked even though I knew the reason he would do such a bad thing was because of Peter himself.But how could William know this, when I haven't told him at all.Was it Trudy, who told Will?Now my guess has been proven right.Will had learned of his friend's bad behavior towards me.But not from that personal maid."Because I already know everything.I've been listening to your chatter since earlier.And I'm really disappointed in you, Rumi."Will furrowed his brow, he looked at me sadly.I squinted, the confusion I felt was so great it was clear in Will's eyes without having to ask me what he meant."I'm disappointed that you didn't tell the t
"How are things?""He's getting better.Miss Rumi just needs a few days to rest to stabilize her stamina.”"Thank you, doctor.""Then I'll take my leave.""Let me take you to the front.Please doctor.""Yes.Good afternoon Mrs Gibson and Mr Harfi, I wish your daughter a speedy recovery.""Yes, doctor.Once again, thank you."I can smell the fresh scent in my room, and now I'm in it.I heard the conversations of the people around me.Their voices are so close, even though I don't open my eyes I can already tell their feelings from the voice I hear.First, Mother's voice, her feelings were very frantic and excessively anxious.It made me reluc
"Thank you, Will. Because of you... I'm so happy," I replied to the boy who hugged me tightly.Then he smiled sweetly with his face buried in his broad chest.But not with him.He sounded pitiful, a feeling of sadness still enveloped him."No, Rumi. I am grateful that you still want to be with me even though you already know from Mrs. Ruth and Mr. Sala about my bad behavior last night," the voice of the young man wearing a white shirt sounded cold and trembling.But full of deep meaning in every word he uttered.I shook my head slowly, my smile dropping to a frown."I thank you because you not only brought me happiness in love. But also because you have changed my mother into a better person for her daughter. Now her attitude is different from what I used to be. Now I feel more free and less constrained by all Mother's wish.""That's because he want
