Toxic Honey
Love Statement

It turns out that the closeness of Darwin and Monika has made both feel comfortable. Darwin increasingly could not resist his desire to immediately declare his love for Monika. This time Darwin felt quite confident if Monika also liked it, judging from the way Monika responded to their conversation. Although still look shy Monika always gives a good response whenever Darwin asked him to accompany wherever he wants to be accompanied.

That afternoon after work Darwin intended to bring Monika home. Monika was ready to go home. Monika was walking towards her motorcycle parking lot. Darwin immediately pursued.

"Monica....! " call Darwin while running to the parking lot near Monika.

"Yeah, is there Mas? " said Monika who was preparing to wear her helmet.

"Ehh... I want to go to your house, I mean, I want to take you home yaa. "darwin said half-whispering fearing his wish to be rejected outright by Monika.

"Yes, but I have my own bike, Mas, "

"Yes your motorbike is left here safe koq, will not be lost there is also a security guard here... "

"What a hell... " Monika looked confused as she glanced towards Nadia and Windi who were smiling just looking towards Monika.

"Why confused? Come onl... I'm taking you home, don't I know where your house is? " Darwin is a bit pushy.

"There Monika, go home with Darwin sir," said Nadia coaxed Monika to let her be escorted home with Darwin's boss.

"Emmm... Yes already yes. "finally Monika agreed and agreed.

After putting back his helmet, Monika immediately follows Darwin to the car park. The two friends of Monika just smile at Monika's behavior that is still shy. Monika glanced funny at her best friend.

"It's a shame but I want to. ahemmm... There Monika, we support you koq.. heheee " said Nadia as she rolled her eyes.

Once again Monika swerved funny towards her best friend.

Darwin opens the car door for Monika. Monika got into the car immediately. On the way the two of them were still silent in silence, no one had yet started the conversation. Darwin momentarily glanced at Monika who was also only silent while playing her fingers. Darwin smiled to himself, wanting to feel like he was holding onto Monika's delicate hand. But Darwin still held back on his wish.

After a moment of silence, Darwin finally opened his voice.

"Your house is far from the store? " ask Darwin.

"Yes quite Mas, 30 minutes if you ride a motorcycle." replied Monika while turning to Darwin.

"Wow not good too, why not tired of you every day riding a motorbike back and forth? "

"Yaa tired anyway yes but still I enjoy aja, the ride on the bike is fun loh Mas, have you ever gone on a motorcycle? "

"I rarely go anywhere on the bike, I'm afraid... "

"Fear why? Did Darwin ever fall off a motorcycle? " ask Monika curiously.

"It's not... "

"Then? "

"I was afraid of the cold because no one hugged me in the back. hehehee." replied Darwin at once while laughing happily at Monika's expression which was funny whizzing.

"Ahhh... there-is just." said Monika while grunting.

"Ohh yes, there will be an alley to the left, just slow down the road, because the road is narrow, many small children like to run on the road... , later my house is the most end well, there is a green fence "said Monika told the direction of the road to her house.

"OK!! " reply Darwin while remaining focused on driving his car.

Not long before they arrived in front of Monika's house. Darwin's car was parked on the side of the road right in front of Monika's house because Monika's narrow yard could not park the car.

Once at home Monika knocked on her door.

"Assalamu'alaikum... " Monika said a greeting while knocking on the door.

"Wa'alaikumsalam.yes briefly dear. "say a voice from within.

I heard the door open from inside. When the door opened Monika's mother was shocked to see Monika coming home with a man. And that man is none other than Monika's boss.

"Loh Monika, where is your bike? You why koq came home and delivered? "

"Yes ma'am, Monika is okay koq, Monika motor is safe at work. This is Mas Darwin wanted to play here. " replied Monika while reaching for her mother's hand to shake hands.

" Oh yes so troublesome come please enter. "mother Monika a little relieved to hear the answer Monika and then allow Darwin to enter the house.

" Come, please sit down... Sorry, the house is narrow, hot, "said Monika's mother invites Darwin to sit in the living room chair.

Darwin swept his eyes across the living room. The house is quite simple, small but neatly arranged.

"Why did this koq tumben-tumbenan bother to send Monika home? though usually also Monika go back and forth on her own motorbike. "ask Monika's mother to Darwin.

"Yes mom... I just want to visit and get acquainted with my mother, "wanted Darwin politely.

"Jeez, there's just... Monika, please make me a drink! " monika's mother told her son to make a drink for Darwin

"Yes Ma'am, " replied Monika from inside her room.

"Ohh yeah, who are you? Her workmate Monika? koq I just saw?" ask Monika's mother to Darwin.

"I am this... "

"He's Mas Darwin Bu, the boss of the shop where Monika works. "sahut Monika precedes answering while putting coffee and some snacks on the table.

"Hahhh." Monika's mother widened her eyes in shock. "Oh my goodness, I don't know, it means that this man owns the store... I don't know, sorry... "

"Ahh no why Mom, don't call me father, just call me Darwin Ma'am... My mother used to call me by name" said Darwin with a smile.

"Waduhh yes yes.please drink the coffee... "

"Yes ma'am thank you so much for bothering this mother... "

"No hassle, it's my son who has been troublesome Nak Darwin, go home and ask for all... "No koq ma'am, I was the one who wanted to drive Monika home" Darwin explained.

Monika's mother heard while shaking her head.

After a few moments of small talk and talk, Darwin ventured to express his sincerity if in fact Darwin wanted to edit Monika.

"Mother, by not diminishing my respect for mother, even though I have just known mother, but I have known Monika for quite a long time. I ask for my mother's blessing, if I wish to make Monika my companion in life. "said Darwin gently tried as polite as possible to express his desire.

It was a little surprised Monika's mother heard it. But he was also moved, there was a man who boldly expressed his heart first to Monika's mother. Whereas all this time Monika only told me if at work she had good friends and also a good boss. Monika never told me about who the man close to her was.

Monika was no less surprised to hear the statement of her boss. He looked down in shame. His face was red.

"Oh koq this fast, son of Darwin... Have you thought about cooking? " ask Monika's mother as if she can't believe what she's hearing.

"No ma'am, I'm 100 percent sure... That Monika is my goal, "reply Darwin assured Monika's mother.

"I give it back to Monika, because Monika will live later, if Monika is happy mother has certainly approved her." replied Monika's mother while staring at Monika.

"How, Monika? Are you willing to accept Darwin's son? " ask Monika's mother to her daughter.

"I.. depends on the mother, if the mother approves I want to accept. " replied Monika rather stammered because she was still shy.

"Mom will always support you, son, as long as it makes you happy, if you are willing to accept Darwin's son, mother bless him" said Monika's mother, clutching her daughter's shoulders.

"Alhamdulillah... Means I'm accepted?? " ask Darwin as if he didn't believe it.

Monika and her mother nodded their heads in response.

"Thank you Mom, thank you Monika... Let's just say this is my proposal in person, tomorrow I promise to invite my parents to come here to apply for Monika officially so that we both know each other's families... " darwin said while glazed to hold haru. He seemed to not believe it was as easy as getting the blessing of his future mother-in-law.

"Yes to Darwin... I'm waiting for this good news from Darwin's family... "

"Yes Ma... "

***

After Darwin returned, Monika's mother asked Monika again.

"Darling, are you really sure of your choice? "

"As long as I have the support of my mother, I am sure... Mas Darwin is a good person ma'am, yes despite our age is far adrift, but I am sure mas Darwin can be a good priest for the family... "

"Aamiin. yes dear..I hope you did not choose the wrong yes..I hope Darwin really loves you sincerely..."
