LIEGE
COMFORTABLE

"Daf, I'm suddenly not sure" Erina said as they ate lunch together.

"Aren't you sure you're marrying me?"

"Not that."

"Then why?"

"Gue wasn't sure he was ready to meet your family."

"An Erina can be nervous too huh?" ledek Daffa's. Her hand stroked Erina's head gently. "Not to be nervous. They are good. And I don't remember them eating people."

I don't want Erina to laugh at that joke. "It's a real joke."

"Not what the joke is crisp, the important thing is that you laugh."

"I swear it's not funny." Erina slapped Daffa's arm.

"You're laughing, really." Daffa caught Erina's hand and gently kissed Erina's back.

"Daf, what the hell." Erina tried to pull his hand but Daffa did not let go.

"Why? Embarrassed?" daffa asked as he looked into Erina's eyes.

"Hemm, not really." Erina tried to ease her heart beat. "It's not good to see other people."

"What I do is natural. Unless you're afraid of being seen by your ex."

"former?"

"Yes, I heard from Ardian that you haven't broken up with your ex for a long time."

So far we have not broken up. Or there is no breaking up between us. Even until now Zafran is still diligent in sending messages asking for news. In the near future, Zafran is getting married.

"Why silence? Still can't forget the ex?" Erina just shrugged her shoulders.

"Maybe among us there is no or has not grown a sense of love. But if we get married, I don't want any unfinished business between you guys." Daffa still did not let go of his grasp.

Erina simply fell silent at Daffa's words. Love's. Is it possible to grow love between them? But why is my heart acting like it was.

"Eryn?" Suddenly there was a familiar voice in his ears. Erina looked towards the voice. It looks like Zafran just finished lunch with his client.

"Who is Rin? Your ex?" daffa whispered in Erina's ear, which gave Erina goosebumps. Moreover, Daffa's warm breath felt touching his neck.

"Who are you, Rin?" asked Zafran with an unfriendly face.

"Known, I'm Erina's husband-to-be. Daffa." Daffa let go of his grasp and extended his right hand to Zafran, but his left hand wrapped around Erina's shoulder.

Zafran looked at Erina demanding an explanation. Erina threw away her gaze.

"You?"

"Zafran. Erina's husband." Erina turned her head quickly at Zafran.

"Sorry Mr. Zafran. Maybe you are lacking updates. According to her parents, Miss Erina had never applied. That means she doesn't have a future husband yet" Daffa said kindly but firmly. Now his arms even moved to Erina's waist and pulled her until their bodies stuck.

Erina looked confused not knowing what to say. But one thing is certain he felt comfortable in the arms of Daffa.

"Rin, explain what this all means? I've already asked you to marry."

Now Daffa's right hand was again holding Erina's fingers. Somehow Erina felt strength through the man's fingers.

"Sorry, our relationship is over. I'm not your future wife. Please don't hurt the woman who's gonna be your wife."

"But Rin, I told you I'd marry you." Zafran doesn't seem to be backing down.

"I'm sorry, but I think what Erina said is obvious. Your relationship is over and she doesn't seem to want to be your wife." Daffa came back to talk. "And given the temperament of my future wife, you'd better leave this place immediately."

"Rin..."

"You have heard my future husband's words. Please disappear from my sight. Sorry not only from before me, but please disappear from my life," said Erina coldly. His fingers held tightly to Daffa's fingers. "Again I confirm our relationship is over. Zulfa is the best woman for you."

"Erin, listen..."

"You've heard Erina's words yourself. Don't interrupt his life anymore and now please leave us before I call security."

"Well, this time I'll go. I'll come to your house and propose to you." Zafran left them with a clear anger on his face.

"Are you okay, Rin?" Daffa still did not let go of his hand. He even pulled Erina's head to lean against his chest. "Don't hold your tears. From now on you can cry on my chest and I hope it can help ease your feelings."

"Tell me when you need shoulder to lean on" whispered Daffa as he kissed Erina's head.

"Dad, mommy.. Daffa will meet tonight" Erina told her parents at breakfast.

"Daffa sir Irwan's son?" Erina nodded.

"You're dating her?" yuna asked curiously. Although the face looks flat, but in his eyes looks happy twinkle.

"Eitherway. Maybe I'll marry her," Erina replied as she grabbed a piece of wheat bread and applied strawberry jam. "Dad, do you want bread?"

"No thanks. I guess this juice is enough for me dear," declined Andrew.

"Your father's on a diet, baby."

"Really dad? A diet? Why?" erina asked trying to shift the conversation.

"Rin, are you seriously getting married to Daffa?" Yuna asked a question.

"Looks."

"Why do you look doubtful?" This time Andrew asked.

"Rin, don't be rash to make a decision if your heart isn't sure yet." Yuna counsels her beloved daughter.

"Are you doing this because you don't want to be betrothed to Fatma's choice?"

"One of them is."

"Do you love him?"

"I don't know yet, dad."

"Rin, don't marry without love" Yuna advised. "Mommy's worried you'll be disappointed."

"Mom, Erin has been in love many times. In the end Erina was disappointed and abandoned. This time Erin does not want to put forward love in starting a relationship," answered Erina. "Maybe we still don't love, but it's not impossible if we're going to be bucin."

"Bucin's? What's that mean?" andrew asked confused.

"That's the term young dad," Erina explained with a laugh. "Love Boy. The Love Slave."

"Mommy won't stop you from finding happiness. If you feel comfortable with him and vice versa, please continue your plan. Mommy doesn't want one side to feel compelled."

"Your mom is right dear" Andrew added. "You've seen forced marriages like Uncle Tito and aunty Wirda. Married because of forced divorce."

"That's why I don't want to be fooled, dad. I wanna choose my own partner. Coz' I'm the one who knows the right one for me."

"So Daffa is the right person for you?" ask Yuna.

"Either mother. So far we've just clicked."

"Do you feel something in your heart?" ask Andrew. "What about your heartbeat?"

"Dad, I don't know yet. But I guess I feel something when I'm with him" Erina replied while recalling her last encounter with Daffa.

Yuna and Andrew smiled wisely hearing Erina's reply. They will be very grateful if their daughter can soon find her soul mate.

"Ask Daffa what he likes to eat, mommy will make it."

"Does that mean mommy agreed to our plan?"

"Mommy is worried, but if you feel confident about your relationship then there is no reason why mommy is against it. Mommy's even happy that you've found someone who will take care of you."

Erina got up from her seat and hugged Yuna tightly. Andrew smiled at this.

"What time will Daffa be here?" ask Andrew. "Daddy will adjust the schedule."

"Will he come with his family?"

"Not mom. Erina has not known her family but has met Mr. Irwan several times."

"We will wait for Daffa to arrive."
