“Hah?”
Maudy really blang the same sudden speech that was made with Hermawan. He tilted his face and shook his head. “You were ... again kidding right?”
Hermawan shook his head and looked seriously. There was no joking gesture at all from the man's face, but that made Maudy even more panicked.
“Wan ...,” cried again with great confusion. Maudy doesn't know what to respond to.
This is an important issue and marriage cannot be said small things. What's more here is not that easy, a lot is happening and no one is siding in their direction. So, Maudy did not know how to respond, talk from Hermawan.
"I know, if you might not want—
"Not want to" Maudy cut quickly. Fear of his talk hurts Hermawan's feelings again.
"Hahaha .. I am in a hurry. Honestly, I really do not want to be in the same match with my parents and one of my intentions after running away from the house. I'm gonna run away with you. I want to marry you. Let them come back to see me. I can shake them with all my might."
Maudy didn't know how to respond.
"I know, if maybe it's not that easy you agree to this. But I just wanted to say, if you don't want to. I'm also—," she said, halted when her arm was held in Maudy's hand. "Yes?"
"By the way my mother, ma'am."
"Huh?"
"You want to marry me, right? I did not intend to get married to run away, because I did not want to add new problems. But I would agree, if you had talked to my mother. If my mother agrees, I'll do it ..."
The brain of Hermawan still responds to it all.
"Huh?" again, which is still loading. She squinted her eyes, this is really Maudy agreeing with her request?
"Wan .. You said it yourself if you want to marry me. Yeah, I want to. I don't want to lose you again. I was stupid enough again a while ago and now, I don't want to lose you again. So, I beg you. You asked for my mother's blessing because from now on I will believe myself to be able to marry you."
"Maudy? it really?" hysterical Hermawan, his hands are busy reaching Maudy's body. "You're not lying anymore, are you?"
"Nobody's lying at all. So, you don't have to feel how. I'm really. From a long time ago, I realized that your existence is very important in my life and my heart trembled right together with you also not an alesan that I should ignore right? So ... There is no other alesan for me to reject you. Because in fact, I need you in my life."
Hermawan grabbed Maudy's body very tightly. At first, Maudy was very shocked but she returned the hug as well.
"Wan .. Thanks for helping me a lot and thank you for always being there next to me. From the beginning, you had the same feeling as me. But trying to hide this all well and it's definitely not easy, right? for years you refrained from realising feelings for me ..."
Maudy took off her arms and clasped Hermawan's hands tightly, occasionally she rubbed them with affection.
"Thank you also because you never made me so uncomfortable because of the statement you said and that certainly ... thank you very much also because you never mix your feelings during life on my side. Thank you also for loving me so deeply ..."
Hermawan shook his head and wiped away Maudy's falling tears.
"I've never felt loved so deeply and I, a lucky woman, have been able to get away from a man who's been by my side for years. But ... Why am I stupid? I should have been aware of it for a long time. That must be more fun, right?"
"In fact, after going through this all we can only unite," added Hermawan straightforwardly. "And this kind of waiting makes me happier. Ton, if it's destiny like this. What do we want? So, for now no longer need to think back and regret something. We'd better think ahead of him."
Maudy nodded.
"But, are you really the same as you said earlier?"
And Maudy's laughter broke out. He laughed as he occasionally wiped the rest of his tears. "Well I lied? If you want, please come to the house and ask for your blessing. That's also if you want. If not, I can't make it either ..."
"No!" exclaim Hermawan with spirit. "I'll come to your house and ask for your blessing."

"So you came here to ask my son?" ask Salma's mother while looking at Hermawan from top to bottom.
Just last night the grown woman heard the explanation from her son. A love story that is quite complicated, it can make it very dizzy. Until he is in the mind, if his son can in a bad word either, if forced himself to marry the same man that Maudy meant.
They even had a chance to argue, but eventually Maudy gave up everything just like her mother. And he will help prayer. Because whatever it takes, in the end it is God's destiny that will bring their relationship, right?
Now, Maudy is sitting restlessly beside her mother.
Sometimes he looked at Hermawan who was wearing a formal shirt. Maybe if it's not serious anymore. He must be laughing now. After all, when else to see a tense Hermawan like this? On a normal day, the man is always relaxed and never looked serious.
Ah, but Maudy should remember. He can't laugh anymore. She glanced at her mother after hearing the sighs of the person who gave birth to her.
"Mother disagree, right?" ask Maudy slowly.
Mother Salma sniffed her shoulders.
"I don't think you know what to answer. Mother really can not let you go to marry another man who actually already has a fiance and not only that. You have no blessing from Hermawan's parents. Here the position is also Hermawan again run away from his home?"
Hermawan nodded softly, the further he hoped to be with Maudy.
"Mother agrees, but mother is afraid that her parents Hermawan will mess with you, son. I have enough of all the sadness that you feel fit it and it is enough, no longer need. So, you don't want to if you do that macem-macem again."
"But, I'll be really looking after Maudy kok Tan!" exclaim Hermawan. "Even though I am in a fuzzy position, I also have savings and are setting up a business to continue to support aunty children well."
Maudy stared in amazement.
"I'll also take care of Maudy in such a way, I won't let my parents touch Maudy. Even though my parents did something. Maudy will be on the highest throne of my life. I promise to take care of Maudy so that Maudy doesn't feel any sadness or pressure from my parents ..."
Hermawan continued to beg until he made Maudy feel sad, because his mother was still strong.
"Bun .. I know that you're worried about me. Mother was traumatized because I always felt a great sadness in my life. But if the mother wants to squirm her child sad, then the mother can not give permission for marriage with Hermawan ..."
Mother Salma was glued.
"The last few days, I even forgot how to laugh because there was no Hermawan in my life. Because what? Because only Hermawan doang can make me laugh and have the understanding that I am still worthy in this world."
"..."
"And it was just Hermawan who taught me a lot of things. He also made me able to explore my past. He was always in my nose and now, if mother really refused Hermawan. I don't know how to live my life. Because, indirectly. I've lived my life with Hermawan."
"Bun," call Nadia who just came out of Nada's room to put the child to sleep.
"Yes?"
"If the mother is afraid of the condition of Maudy's brother for the future, then the mother does not need to worry. Because Maudy's brother is in the right hands if the man is Hermawan. I'm talking gini baseless or perfunctory doang. But, I know that they really love each other."
Mother Salma still did not know what to respond and chose to be silent.
"Sister Hermawan iru definition of men who can respect women. Even he's always been there for Maudy because I was still evil. Mommy should know that there is nothing to be called worrying at all if you see them together because brother Hermawan will fight many things just for Maudy."
"But what if her parents touch Maudy?" mama Salma finally. "Nobody knows what's going to happen in the future? Could be a parent nak Hermawan usik marriage Maudy. Mother just did not want anything else to happen in Maudy's life. Mommy believes in the same as Hermawan, he can indeed take good care of Maudy. But not with his parents ..."
"..."
"You should know that we should be afraid of people who make money. Because they can do everything they can just to run as they want. So, you guys want to talk at length. Bnda still in the early stages, if you refuse!"
And mother Salma stepped away so that left them made Nadia look worried at the two people there.
"You two don't have to worry, I said the same thing. Mommy just needs time and continues to be on the busiki. So, you do not need to worry because later the mother will also melt. Mommy just needs some time to doang ..."
"Sister, ask Nadia for help, please" Maudy pleaded. "You know your mother, if you will not be able to encourage you to continue living if you do not agree with this one business."
"Relax brother .. Serahin everything is the same to me. Let me be clear with mom. You two talk about it first," said Nadia who deliberately gave time to Maudy with Hermawan who is certainly being shaken.
Nadia went into Nada's room and decided to visit her mother's room after a few minutes.
***
Now, Hermawan and Maudy are in Maudy's yard. Both are silent. Maudy hugged her legs while staring blankly at the street and Hermawan just kept wiping Maudy's arms. In Maudy's hope don't think too much about this feeling.
"Don't think too much about Maudy, '" asked Hermawan expectantly. "Mas doesn't want you to think until you get sick. Let it be that fights. I'll do it all for you and it's nothing. You can only melt your mother's heart and after that there is nothing else."
Maudy sighed and nodded.
"Lagian .. if everything goes well even strange," hungry Hermawan, joking so that Maudy is not too sad. "It's the same as the first half, let God see. If we are serious or not. Want to continue with just a small obstacle like gini or even give up? So .. don't think about it too much."
Maudy.
Her sister and her boyfriend told her not to think about all this. But how could he not think? After, himself heard the raw rejection that was thrown from his mother's mouth? and he can't just shut up.
"And one ..."
Maudy turned to Hermawan, looking at him full of question marks.
"I don't want to hear you are angry with your mother. Your mother's intentions are good because you don't want anything. So you can't misunderstand. You just love your mother well enough and can not be angry at all ..."
Ah, why does Hermawan seem to know his thoughts.
"If you are angry, even your mother forbids us to be together. Act as usual and don't get angry. Let me do something. You just shut up and get a satisfactory result."
Maudy hugged her body more and more, feeling sad.
"You know, you must be surprised, right? But, you yourself imagined this to happen. So, I already have some plans in my head. You calm yourself first. It's not how much. Consider this the first step in our lives. Don't cry!" hermawan cried when Maudy cried again. "That's a starting point in our lives. And we have to be eager to get through it."
"Yes Maudy's spirit .. We can definitely get through all this."
And broke yet another Maudy cry. Hermawan's reflexes brought Maudy in and grabbed her tightly. Indeed, the heart of Hermawan also grimaces. She's confused. But he didn't want to make Maudy sink the same grief. He had to show that he was strong, so Maudy wouldn't panic.
"It's okay, there's me. There is always me by your side. Don't worry, yeah. We're passing this together. We must be strong. You are calm ..."
