Your Choice

Finally, the sentence came out of Kaylila's mouth. Nosa burst out laughing again, more freely. For a moment Kaylila was amazed at the beauty in front of her. New to know him, but seeing his loose laughter, Kaylila felt a beautiful sight. Make Kaylila forget her anxiety and anger for a while.

Until the order arrived, Nosa was still laughing, making Kaylila pucker her mouth, annoyed. Kaylila lowered her head, unable to do anything. Then Nosa stopped laughing.

"What about my offer last night? Have you thought about it? As soon as possible. I just don't want to see you suffer any further with that bastard. " Nosa said trying to change the subject.

Kaylila immediately raised her head, looked directly at Nosa's eyes. Kaylila still suspected that Nosa was joking. However, Kaylila was wrong. Nosa was very serious, very serious. It was impossible for Nosa to just play with what he said. However, is this covenant marriage good for me? Kaylila hesitated.

"Isn't that just a joke?" Kaylila asked directly.

“It doesn't matter if you think it's a joke. But what is clear, I am not a man who will easily withdraw what I have said. " Nosa replied.

They were silent, Kaylila was unable to make a sound, still in shock.

“The choice is yours. What is the question you want to know, you will soon find the answer. On one condition, we are married by agreement. Again, without love, without touching each other. Our marriage is a marriage that is just a formality for the sake of our status and interests. I think this method can be mutually beneficial between us. " Nosa said.

"What is the reason that makes Mas Nova want to marry me?" Kaylila asked seriously.

"You need a reason or my sincerity?" Nosa asked in return.

"I have no idea. I can't think at this time. I do not know what to do." Kaylila answered.

"Can I ask for your parents' phone number?" Asked Nosa.

"What for? Incidentally I didn't bring my cellphone. " Kaylila answered, holding her chin with her palms. Nosa smiled at Kaylila. Nosa knew that Kaylila was seriously uncertain.

"How many?" Asked Nosa again. Then Kaylila mentioned a number of numbers to Nosa, still with her hands on her chin, and as if unconsciously. After finished mentioning, Nosa called that number.

A dial tone sounds from the call. Nosa put his cell phone to his left ear. The first call was not answered. Nosa dialed the number again, and a second time there was no answer. Nosa pressed the number again, then a voice was heard there.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Tante." Say hello to Nosa.

"Waalaikumsalam. Who is this with? " Asked the voice, which is definitely Kaylila's mother's voice. The call was even on the Loud speaker by Nosa. Hearing a familiar voice in her ears, made Kaylila's reverie.

"What are you doing, Mas?" Kaylila asked who was shocked to hear her mother's voice talking to Nosa. Nosa swiftly covered Kaylila's lips with her right hand. Kaylila who was surprised by the movement, immediately froze in silence. His two eyes stared at Nosa's face who was also staring at him.

"My name is Nosa, Tante. Greetings."

"Yes, who is Nosa? Aunt, how come you never know? " answered her mother Kaylila.

“I've only known Kaylila for two days. I love it, and want to be serious about Kaylila. If my aunt pleases, I want to immediately apply for Kaylila. Whenever auntie has time and wants to meet and get acquainted with me, I am willing to meet aunty immediately. I can just set aside a schedule to be able to visit auntie. " Kaylila was only able to open her mouth and was immediately shocked by what Nosa said to her mother. Kaylila wanted to speak, but Nosa's right hand still closed her mouth.

"Oh, I see. What about Kaylila? Is he also pleased and want to marry Mas? " Asked mama. Kaylila was sure that her mother would be surprised by Nosa's sudden statement.

“I happen to be together with Kaylila while having breakfast. If auntie wants to talk to Kaylila, I will send this daughter to Kaylila. " Nosa replied firmly.

"Oh, don't be. Later the aunt will contact him directly. Actually this is Mas Nosa. Auntie basically leaves all decisions to Kaylila. Auntie can't force it. Because Kaylila is not a child anymore. So, whatever Kaylila's decision, auntie is sure it is her choice. Auntie can only provide support. " Her mother said Kaylila again.

"I understand what auntie said. Therefore, I ventured to apply for Kaylila. " Nosa said.

"Tell you what, Mas Nosa. Talking on the phone is not very convincing. Incidentally, next week my aunt's nephew in Malang will have a wedding. We can chat again after the aunt arrives there. Is that better? " Asked her mother Kaylila.

"If that's what my aunt wants, I agree. But if my aunt wants to get to know me soon, before my aunt comes to Malang, I can visit my aunt's house in Sumatra. " Nosa said firmly.

"Oh, I see. Will it not interfere with the schedule later, Mas? " Asked her mother Kaylila.

"Of course not, auntie. Because it will be rescheduled. Tante just say when the time. " Nosa answered with certainty.

"Alright then. Auntie needs to discuss this also with her father Kaylila. Auntie will immediately provide news via Kaylila. Okay?" Kaylila's mother said.

"Okay, auntie then. I'm waiting for news from auntie soon I will end first, auntie. Thank you, assalamualaikum. " Nosa said ending the conversation.

"Okay. Waalaikumsalam. " Kaylila answered her mother.

Kaylila felt as if her whole body was relaxed. Kaylila immediately leaned her back against the chair and covered her face with her hands.

“You really are annoying, Mas! And you are really crazy! " exclaimed Kaylila in a weak voice. Nosa could only smile.

Come on, let's eat. The rice won't taste good. " Said Nosa without guilt.

****

Kaylila is no longer in the mood to enjoy breakfast that morning. It's not that the menu doesn't appeal to him. But more because his mood became chaotic. Nosa makes Kaylila melt with her determination.

Flattered Kaylila? Of course. Which woman will not be flattered by that man's attitude. With his indifferent and slightly annoying demeanor, Kaylila was able to destroy her self-defense. The man she had only known for two days was playing with her heart.

The man who was originally annoying in Kaylila's eyes turned out to be acting like a grown man. Unlike Genta.

Kaylila thought back to what Nosa offered. Actually Kaylila wanted to confirm the offer. However, it was Genta who confused Kaylila. Moreover, after the agreement period, Kaylila will hold the title of "Widow". Kaylila shook her head. Kaylila watched Nosa, who was enjoying his breakfast leisurely.

He's so handsome. The thinking is different from Genta. Or is it because he is more mature in terms of age? Or because he's used to being independent? O Allah Gusti, what should I do? I doubt O Allah. On the one hand, mom and dad are certainly worried because my age is increasing, which is no longer a teenager. On the one hand, there is still Genta, the person who is always in my heart. People always fill my days. I can't live without it.

On the one hand, there is still Genta, the person who is always in my heart. People always fill my days. I can't live without it.

Kaylila felt pain in her head remembering Genta. For some reason, since getting to know Nosa, Genta's shadow is no longer milling about filling his mind.

Could it be because the figure of Nosa has the charm of a grown man that Genta doesn't have? Kaylila was unable to answer it. What is clear is that now Nosa is more often in Kaylila's mind.

"Are you full?" Asked Nosa, breaking Kaylila's reverie.

"Ehh no, Mas. It's just that, it looks like I'm not in the mood. " Kaylila answered in a low voice and sad eyes, showing her guilt.

"Which part made you feel so disappointed? Haven't I shown my seriousness? I never mess with what I say. So, is that enough for you to convince yourself? ” Nosa tries to convince Kaylila.

"It is not like that. I just felt that something was out of place. Ah, I don't know. You make me dizzy, Mas. Don't know where to start. Don't know whether the path we chose is true. " Kaylila explained that she was upset.

"The first thing we do is, immediately finish eating and drinking. We have to get out of here immediately. " Said Nosa firmly. "Go? Go where?" Kaylila asked.
