Hearing Daddy's sentence, my knees suddenly weak. I saw Chiko throw a big smile at my parents. Then he turned towards me, I quickly turned my face in another direction. I still can't believe that this isn't a dream. Why Chiko do something like this?
"Thank you, Uncle, Auntie. I will try to keep Naditya happy. Then, how about Naditya? You haven't answered her yet."
And now he's asking me. I'm still gawking in disbelief. I looked one by one the faces of Daddy and Mommy. I feel like there is no oxygen in this room anymore.
My eyes closed, exhaled heavily. The lecturer who students admire the most on campus, came to the house and met my parents to propose to me? Hahaha, I still can't believe it. I bet this is just a prank.
"Original, sit horrified his words," I said and then got up from a sitting position. "Better now Mr. Chiko goes home and forgets everything that happened today. "
"Na ...."
Turned to Mommy who threw a warning look. "Sorry, Mom. I have the right to refuse."
Turning to glance at the still smiling Chiko. Fix! He's gone crazy.
"I'm tired, excuse me." That sentence became the conclusion before I took a quick step and headed towards my room which was on the second floor.
Enter the room and immediately lock it. Leaning behind the door, my breath was gasping.
"Calm down, Nana. You're not wrong."
Don't care what Chiko will do after this to me. Maybe he will repay my treatment earlier by punishing me in his class.
Throwing myself onto the bed, my fingers deftly searched Naura's contact.
"Hello, Queen Singles." There was a sneer from the other side.
"Damn you, Ra!" I cursed which made him laugh even more. "Shut up, please! I need a cardiac sedative right now. There are a lot of questions attacking my brain right now."
"Okay, you calm down. Inhale from the mouth out of the butt."
Damn it! She's always been. doesn't he know that I'm in a dilemma?
Hearing the sound of a car engine, I immediately got out of bed and walked towards the window. Turned to the curtain and saw Chiko already in the car. As if he realized he was being watched by me, he looked up and caught me staring at him. I immediately closed the curtains, breaking our eye contact.
"Na, are you still there?"
Ah yes, I just remembered that a new question and answer session is about to start.
"Have you ever been asked to marry or be asked out by someone you don't know? I mean, each one only knows the cover. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Wait, I'll remember it first."
"Do not be too long."
"Now I remember, but not being asked married only express love. "
"Are you serious? What do you feel?" I'm getting impatient waiting for an answer from her.
"Frankly, Na, being in that position is not comfortable at all. I was forced to choose to hurt him or meI have never forbidden others to like or hate me. Falling in love is not an option."
Nodding head understood what Naura was explaining. Of course, we can't control who should love or hate us. The feeling is free to choose who will anchor it. Like me to Darel. Ah never mind, remembering that one-sided love always cuts my heart. It's still fortunate that our relationship is fine until now. I can't imagine how Darel would react when he found out how I felt for him. To imagine it I shuddered with horror.
"Eh, by the way, why do you ask that? Could it be ...."
I gasped. quickly shook his head, even though Naura didn't know it. "No! Don't guess the nonsense."
Hanging off the phone before Naura comes back asking questions that will checkmate me. It's not that don't want to tell her, it's just not at this time. Because I have to be mentally prepared if Daddy and Mommy explode the bomb.
Tok! Tok!
"Na, you haven't slept yet, have you?" Mommy's voice came from behind the door.
"Yes, Mom!" I answered spontaneously.
Geez, my mouth! Why is it so hard to control?
"Get out now. Mommy waits below."
Puffed cheeks and can only surrender to be the source of the parents themselves. All right, just a matter of minutes the bomb will explode at any moment.
In a room with a large chandelier. I sat across from Mommy and Daddy beside me who threw interrogation glances.
"Your attitude in no way reflects that of an educated student."
Right, my guess is right. The bomb is exploding now viewers.
Thinking about the incident a while ago, when I was shocked by Chiko's arrival made me grimace.
"Sorry, Dad, Mom."
"Chiko is your lecturer, you know, Na."
"Yes, I know, Mom."
"And he came here with the best of intentions," said Daddy. "But you acted childish like that."
"Daddy himself why immediately agreed to Mr. Chiko's application, while I was there and refused it's. Dad is selfish. "
I am patient enough to hear Daddy and Mommy, who continue to blame me. "Please, Dad, understand my feelings. Moreover, I am only twenty years old, I still have a lot to achieve."
There was a look of surprise from Daddy and Mommy. I know this is too much. So far, I always do what they want. But sorry, when it comes to a relationship I can't.
"As parents, of course, we want the best for their children. And Daddy can see the seriousness of Chiko to you. Regardless, I want you to live in happiness. Remembering with the job Chiko is a lecturer. "
I admit the points that Dad mentioned earlier are true. However, Chiko already gave a bad impression at the beginning of our meeting. And I've become his haters.
My face frowned while pursing my lips. "But still, I don't like Dad's decision to accept Mr. Chiko's proposal. Daddy doesn't overestimate Mr. Chiko either, no one is really to be good to be true everyone must have ugliness, including Mr. Chiko. "
Feeling my shoulder gently rubbed by Mommy. I turned my head, that dim gaze always giving me peace.
"Na, even if you don't like it, you should refuse subtly. You don't need to act like that in front of the lecturer himself, "said Mommy. "Regarding the application earlier, only Daddy and Mommy agreed because we saw something good from him. Henceforth, the decision remains in your hands. "
I nodded. Took a breath for a moment then looked guiltily at my parents. "Sorry, Dad, the Mom, already was angry earlier."
I should have known, if let out anger, don't have to be angry.
The next day before class started, Naura and I decided to hang out at the canteen first. Take advantage of Wi-Fi network access to download the latest Korean dramas.
"Na, what's the name of the Drakor who plays Eunwoo?"
I rolled my eyes lazily at Naura's question. "Eunwoo did not just play the drama once, Ra."
"The one who became Suho, you know, Na."
"True Beauty," I replied then sucked my lemon iced tea.
"Now, that! Do you have it yet? Later, share it in my flash disk." She grinned as she raised and lowered his eyebrows.
"You're using Wi-Fi right now. Just download it yourself, Ra."
"Can't, Na. You don't seem to know just my cellphone storage," said Naura with a grin.
"Yes-yes, I'll share it later. It's not good how else try me with you." Smiling flirtatiously then winked at Naura, which made him shudder in horror.
Yes, that's Naura and me, both Korean drama lovers.
"Na, don't look back. Mr. Chiko is looking this way." Naura whispered.
Looked back and there was Chiko there. His eyes were aiming sharply at me. My gaze locked onto him. He's looked weird. Now, where is the figure of Chiko who incarnate like Dilan yesterday? He was back as cold as Ikbal Guana.
"Indeed, anyone who sees Mr. Chiko will be lulled by his charm."
Blinked a few times, broke eye contact with Chiko, and turned to stare at Naura who was showing a wide grin.
"What the heck, Ra? I'm not in awe of the old man." I said.
Naura nudged my shoulder. "Just admit that Mr. Chiko's charm exceeds the maximum limit. Just now you forgot how to blink. "
Really?
Turned back to the exact direction Chiko was, but I couldn't find him anymore. Where is he going? Lest the devil steals again. Ish, Nana his thoughts.
Remembering yesterday's incident, I forgot that I haven't told Naura about it. All right, the vent session started after I took a deep breath. "Ra, do you believe that Jackson Wang proposed to me?"
"Not," Naura replied curtly with a flat face.
"What about the twin?"
"What the heck? It's not clear."
For Oh Sehun to sing the song that Please explain, should I say Chiko's name right away for Naura to understand? No wonder if Julian ended their relationship, Naura was very insensitive.
"Na, don't throw that code at me. Talk, Na, talk. Have a mouth for what?"
"But don't be surprised."
"Yes, quickly say. Don't make me wait long," Naura said impatiently.
Suddenly the heart pumps blood faster, the beat is so loud. I brought my face closer to Naura's ear before I finally whispered something that made Naura's eyes almost pop out of place every day.
"I in proposed Mr. Chiko last night."
"WHAT ?! YOU ARE APPLIED BY MR - mmmphhh ...."
Luckily I swiftly covered Naura's mouth with my palm, before she detonated a boom that would make everyone in the canteen focus their attention on me.
"Your mouth has never been serviced, yes, Ra!" I whispered emphatically.
Naura moved my hand on her mouth. "Your jokes are not very funny."
"Well, you just think this is a joke. How about me?"
"Are you talking seriously or not, Na? I'm confused about it."
"Seriously, Ra. Why did I lie to you?"
Naura closed her eyes and exhaled. Touched my shoulder with a serious gaze. "So this is why you asked about yesterday's application?"
"Yes."
"How come, Mr. Chiko was attracted by your charm which is not that much?"
"That's what I question too," I squeaked.
"I'm sure, Na. There must be something Mr. Chiko is hiding from you. Because this tastes weird. Your relationship so far has only been limited to the lecturers and students."
I shrugged because I didn't know what Chiko meant yesterday.
The course should have finished thirty minutes ago, but Mr. Toto just left the classroom now. And it succeeded in inviting curses and grumbles from the students. Including me."Crazy is a lecturer if you already talk like forgetting how to stop. It's a lecturer who corrupts time. Plus, he changed the schedule from the afternoon. Uh, annoying!" I said."Never mind, let's eat first. I'm so hungry, sorry for the worm in my stomach for holding concerts for hours."I nodded. "Yes, Ra. I'm also hungry.""The usual chicken huh. I really miss eating there," Naura suggested and I could only say yes.Arriving at our destination, we immediately ordered the food menu and ate it until the stomach was full.After eating, Naura and I didn't go home right away. We gossiped happily first, talking about the hot news until we couldn't remember the time. With the sound of the cellphone clinking indicating an incoming chat, Naura immediately opened it."Na
Not only was my heart beating fast, now the honorable Mr. Lecturer made my cheeks like a boiled crab."There are who return home to with future husbands."Very nice. Not even more than two steps into the house, my parents had already surprised me. They are very united to tease their children."Yesterday, you were angry with Daddy because accepted Mr. Chiko's proposal. But apparently, now you are escorted home by him."I looked at Mommy who was starting to grin flirtatiously."The usual, Dad. I pretending to be shy."I took a deep breath, staring alternately at Daddy and Mommy. "What the hell, Dad, Mom? I don't like Mr. Chiko. Don't overdo it."Daddy and Mommy exchanged glances as if they couldn't believe my words."It's okay, Na. Mommy and Daddy once also young. We understand how teenage romance dramas. Yes, Dad?"Daddy put his arm around Mommy's shoulder. "That's right, Mom."I rolled my eyes. "My life has no drama. If I s
Someone forced me to get out of the warmth of the blanket. It disturbs my sleep. Ah, it feels like I've only closed my eyes for a few minutes.I vaguely heard a familiar voice. Like Mommy's voice."Wake up, Na! What time is it already? You'll be late for the campus."Squinting and seeing who had disturbed my deep sleep. And yes, it is Mommy. I closed my eyes again because my eyes still need to rest."Nana!""What the heck, Mom? Just disturb I dream of dating Cha Eunwoo. Even though there's only one inch left for Nana to be kissed by handsome Oppa." My voice sounded typical of someone who just woke up."Crazy you! Get up quickly." Mommy pulled my blanket forcibly until it fell off the mattress.Pursed annoyed lips at Mommy who interrupted my rest time. "Mom, I am still sleepy," I whined, making Mommy even angrier."It's already noon, Na. You can be late for campus later.""Five more minutes, Mom." I closed my eyes again.
Chiko's car crossed the road at standard speed. My brain may be insane because it could only be silent when Chiko took me away. While on the trip, I was busy guessing what plans Chiko was doing.Chiko turned off the car engine as soon as he reached the parking area. Join a row of other four-wheeled vehicles."Sir?""Yes.""Are we going to this jewelry shop?"Chiko turned to me while showing her sweetest smile. "I never mess with what I say, Naditya."I'm stunned. Whether have to believe it or not. I am confused."Come on down!"Obey his wishes even though his mind is still uncertain."Here you are free to want any jewelry," Chiko said. I stepped following Chiko who walked in front of me.Starting to enter the large mall, my eyes filled with the discounts that were not kidding. I can confirm, if we came with Naura we would have started visiting the shop one by one. But whatever we think is good, even though in the end it wil
I paced back and forth in front of the operating room. My hands are shaking. Cold sweat has been streaming down the palms. I'm so scared if something happens to Daddy."Oh my God, I beg of you to run Daddy's operation. Give her health back." I don't stop praying silently.I looked at Mommy, who was sitting on the hospital bench with Auntie Marta, the household assistant in our family. Mommy's tears did not stop rolling down her cheeks.I leaned against the wall. Closing my eyes and hoping that nothing I fear will happen to Daddy. Until finally, I felt a gentle caress on my shoulder.Chiko smiled as if to give me peace. The look in his eyes was sincere."Everything will be alright."I wish so too."I'm afraid of losing Dad, Sir." My lips are trembling. Tears were already flowing in my eyes.Chiko shook his head several times. As if to say that I shouldn't think badly. Slowly, Chiko pulled me and brought him into his arms. Chiko kn
Brooding is what I'm doing right now. In the garden behind the house, I sat alone. Staring at the night sky without star decoration. Daddy and Mommy asked me and Nichol to come home, considering that I had to go back to school tomorrow and Nichol had also just traveled quite a long way. Daddy at the hospital accompanied by Mommy and Marta.Daddy's request asking me to marry Chiko keeps ringing in my ears, along with my heart that is still engraved with Darel's name. How can I marry someone I don't love at all?I wiped my face several times. Regarding the heart transplant for Daddy, I, Mommy, and Nichol were already discussing it. We immediately contacted several hospitals to look for heart donors, not only that, but we have also spread information on social media, hoping Daddy can get a heart transplant soon and be healthy again.I'm so uncomfortable when Daddy talks about death. I don't want to lose Daddy or any of my loved ones.Someone came over to me
I am standing here. Gazing at the vast calm lake. I can't feel a hand that lands on my shoulder.I closed my eyes and sighed. "I need some time alone, Sir.""Na ...."That voice? I'm a little hopeful. with slow motion, I turned my body to see who was behind me. And well, right now I hope that he is..."Darel."Like lightning in broad daylight, I was taken aback by his presence in front of me right now. Please, if this is a dream then don't wake me up now."I miss you girl."My eyes are teary. Without wasting time, I immediately hugged him tightly. He was real and right here. With me. God, thank you for sending him to me."Rel, Daddy ..." I cried in Darel's arms."I already know everything, Na. I know you are strong with Uncle Wildan. Everything will be fine." I can feel it rubbing against my back, making me cry even louder. "I ..., I ...," I said between sobs. Could not hold back tears."It's okay, Na. Jus
I felt a gentle caress on my head. Blinking several times that previously closed, I found my father who had woken up from fainting."Daddy has realized," I said with emotion looking at the eyes that opened again. "How are you now? Is anyone sick?"Daddy smiled while shaking his head several times. "Dad is fine, Na."I let out a sigh of relief. "You want to eat fruit? Let me feed?"Once again Daddy smiled and refused my offer."Where are Mommy and Nichol, Na?""In the canteen. While eating. Poor Mommy, from yesterday he only ate a little. She kept thinking about you.""Sorry, Na. Daddy made you all worry."I hurriedly shook my head. "You can't talk like that what's important now is your health, Dad. "The door to Daddy's ward opened, Mommy and Nichol were back from the canteen."Daddy has realized," said Mommy with a smile full of emotion approaching Daddy."Because of the prayers of all of you," replied Dadd
At dinner with the Chiko family. I felt uncomfortable with the gaze from Rose. She looks at me like a lion ready to pounce on its prey. I'm not afraid, it's just uncomfortable."Chiko is smart, choosing a future wife who is beautiful like Nana."I smiled shyly at the compliment from Aunt Mike, which I thought was exaggerated. Moreover, there are still many women out there who are prettier than me."So, when are you two getting married? If possible as soon as possible. Don't delay too long. Not good." Now Uncle Renal opened the voice."No marriage between you!" Rose shouted no accepting. Makes me even more wondering. What does he dislike about me? Moreover, we just met today."Enough, Rose!" Aunt Mike looks angry. "Shut up and eat or go now!"Rose got up from her chair. then suddenly she spilled a drink on my shirt."Aaaa!""Rose!" Chiko's voice was heard. He was very angry with his half-sister. To the extent that he got up from his sit
A medium-sized red box is now in my hand. I don't know what's in the box and I don't know who sent this to me. Suddenly when I got home, I immediately greeted this object at the door."Is it open or not? Could it be a bomb? It's really scary."I brought the red box into the house. Sitting on the sofa and immediately opening the box to see what's inside. Maybe there will also be the name of the sender.I took out the small fold of paper that was inside. There must be the name of the sender here or there are only mysterious words like in movies.Dear Future WifeThere is a dress shipment from your future Mom-in-law. Can't wait for tonight she said ♡#ILoveYou#IAlwaysLoveYou#Chiko"Oh, My GodI swear what is it from Mr. Chiko's mother? "I immediately took out something that was in there. And yes, there is a simple knee-length blue dress."Very beautiful." I was amazed by this dress. Oath! This is very beautiful. surely
I was struggling when Sarah suddenly grabbed my hand and led me to the bathroom."Let go of my hand!""Shut up! Come with me, don't protest!"And to make it even more difficult for me to escape Sarah's grip, two of Sarah's friends came to help take me to the bathroom.My body was pushed in until it hit the bathroom wall. Then I heard the door locked."What are you doing ?!" I asked him who was also in the bathroom with me.Sarah is shortening the distance from me even more. "I'm warning you, don't hang out with Mr. ChikoI do not like it!"I smiled sarcastically. Shake his head in disbelief that Sarah did something like this to me just because of Chiko."So what if I hang out with Mr. Chiko? You don't accept it?"Please remember, that I'm not the type to be bullied like this. And Sarah had wronged me."No! I don't like you being close to Mr. Chiko!""Who has the right to ask me to stay away from Mr. Chiko? Are you his
Back to my usual routine, I'm ready to go to campus. Wearing a plain black t-shirt combined with a black plaid shirt, a knee-length skirt that matches the white t-shirt and shoes. This time I tied my hair together. last I put perfume on several points of the body.Smile looking at the reflection of the flat mirror. "All right, Nana. You are a beautiful and cute girl too." Praise yourself for the truth. Everyone admits that I'm beautiful.Grabbed the bag on the study table, then stepped out of the room. Going down the stairs and approaching Nichol who was already at the dining table."Good morning, Nichol!""Morning!"Breakfast is served at the dining table. Immediately I had breakfast before leaving."Na," Nichol called."Yes, what is up?" I asked without looking at him."Are you serious about marrying Chiko?"A relaxed head nod in response. I scooped a spoonful of fried rice into my mouth."Remember, Na. Marriage is a sacr
Shame!There is nothing more embarrassing than accusing something that is not according to the truth. Ah, Nana! What is wrong with you? To do something stupid like that. I shouldn't be careless in my actions.This is embarrassing. Valid no debate!"Nana! Wait for me!"Chiko ran after me. Geez, I can't help but be embarrassed to face him.As if I didn't hear Chiko's scream, I hastened my pace even more."Na, your lecturer keeps calling. Stop your steps."I glared sharply at Darel. "Don't mind him, just let it go. Hurry his way!""You have to apologize to him. Stop now and meet him or you become a coward."Instantly I stopped my steps. don't accept it with Darel telling me like that."What are you saying? I'm not a coward, huh!" I threw a punch to Darel's arm.Darel chuckled. "So don't avoid it. Quickly meet him and apologize to him. It's all your fault too.""Yes, I'm just ashamed beside, right, that girl could l
