From Duren Down To The Heart
Chapter 25. Am I ready?

Our conversation stopped immediately because of the cry of Keisya who intended to protest!

"SOOOO!! Why does everyone keep talking? I'm a laper, I want to eat, and I want to take a nap with Mama Clara!" Said Keisya who had changed his uniform with casual clothes by Bu Sari.

Everyone in the living room laughed. Keisya's face looked extremely cute and grew even more beautiful when he was angry like that.

"yes, we all had lunch together! It just so happened that Bu Sari had cooked a special meal. Isn't it Mom?" Said Aunt Riana who was nodded by Bu Sari.

We all went to the dining room. On the table there are various delicious foods.

I stared one by one at the people who were surrounding this dining table. They were busy preparing their meals on the plate.

My smile describes the happiness of the warmth of these 2 families, even though Om Arman did not join because he was still busy in the office. I really like situations like this.

Actually I still did not expect with everything that had happened to the story of 'my matchmaking'. Can this still be called a match?

Usually, the person who was betrothed was previously a stranger who was met 'forced', so that their story journey without being based on love. There are those who stick to their stance who do not want to love the person they are betrothed to, and there are also those who end up loving each other because love grows slowly when they get used to it and feel comfortable with their partner.

But I want to thank God for giving me the opportunity to first love the one who was betrothed to me, so that I do not feel compelled to make this match. Although at first I refused because I wanted to choose my own love. But it turns out, the person I love is the one whom I've been betrothed to.

Thank you, God, my Lord.

****

Keisya immediately pulled me into his room after we all finished lunch.

She lay on the bed, then I helped envelop her. But suddenly someone opened the door to Keisya's room.

Keisya and I looked at the door.

"can Papa come in?"

It was Keanu who came.

"could Pah, come in..!"

Keanu came in and sat down on the edge of Keisya's bed. He looked at me who was rubbing Keisya's head, then smiled.

It didn't take long, Keisya fell asleep.

"let's get out!" take me to Keanu.

I walked towards the door, but Keanu held my arm and he stood in front of me, blocking the door.

"what is it?" I asked, whispering a little for fear of disturbing Keisya's sleep.

Keanu looked at me fixedly, but he didn't say anything.

She doesn't know what? I was so nervous when she looked at me like that. And I don't know what to behave like.

"Mas.. Why the hell?"

She smiled with her hand still holding my arm, but not a single word.

I was almost hypnotized by the look in his eyes if I could not control myself.

Enough already!

It's enough he's made me feel uneasy like this. And I need to hurry out of this situation.

"yes, I'm going out!" I stepped beside him and grabbed the doorknob.

But I haven't opened the door yet, Keanu immediately turned around and hugged me from behind.

I reflexed to close my eyes right then and there, being too shocked by what Keanu was doing.

I tried to regulate my breathing and heartbeat which was already very uncontrollable.

"Bag.."

"thank Clara.. You love Keisya very much. I feel so lucky to know you and have you." Keanu whispered it right in my ear. And it made me even more lost.

I smiled hearing his words. And the longer, it turns out this position makes me feel more calm and comfortable. As if I didn't want him to let go of his embrace.

Tok tock..

Kreeekk

"Auntie Riana?"

Huh.. Luckily Aunt Riana knocked on the door first. Lf it doesn't? Aaaaa..!

I'd be so embarrassed.

"Isn't he sleeping?"

"he just slept, Ma.." Keanu answered Aunt Riana's question.

"oh.." aunty Riana nodded. "yeah we're ahead yuk!"

I nodded, then followed Aunt Riana into the living room. And Keanu walked behind me.

"honey, you're going home today." take Mama after I sit on the living room couch.

"it's okay Ma. I'm going home to the hostel.."

"why that? The bride-to-be is not good to live alone." said Mama with a smile.

"mama mean?"

"Clara, you're the same Keanu is dating, so now you have no reason to refuse this match, right? Unless you don't love Keisya" said Aunt Riana.

Keanu and I stared at each other.

"and if you know, it's not good you've been dating for a long time, you're not muhrim, you can't be alone. Inget, the third one is a demon, so you must immediately formalize your relationship.. Understand no?" aunt Riana.

Keanu nodded. "I don't mind Ma.. But I don't know Clara." And then she looked at me.

"i'm.." I sighed. "i don't mind Tan either.."

Ah..

I felt so relieved after saying that sentence.

But am I really ready?

I love Keisya very much and I love Keanu too. So I thought, this is a very precise path that I should take.

Now the obstacle I have to face is only one more. Nadias. I had to explain to her so she could accept the fact that it would probably be very painful for her.

I decided to go back to the hostel at about 4 p.m. Mom and Dad went home too.

I was escorted by Keanu in a white sports car that was used when traveling with Keisya to the amusement park. Because Aunt Riana is not allowed to use a motorbike.

"you do not too often bergencengan motor if not married, not good! It's a little late in the afternoon anyway, the Clara's kasian can get cold on the street."

Keanu nodded. "yes Ma.."

Me and Keanu came out and stood on the porch.

"don't frown, it can be terrible!" keanu.

"why indeed?"

"you look prettier with such an expression, it would be terrible if I couldn't help myself."

Ish's.. He could have robbed her. I think a guy who's a little cold doesn't seem to be able to say that.

"i know you're disappointed that we didn't get back on the bike. You can't hug me, can you?" keanu said with a soft look.

"iiiihhh. The hunt there get the car! I could go back to the afternoon again..!" I said, while pushing Keanu and still putting on a sullen face.

He laughed and went to the garage.

Ah.. He's this! Sometimes it looks so good, mature, and wise. But sometimes he acts like this.

Keane..
