Love and the Past
The Part 68

After dinner with her Mama, Salsa returned to the room, sat on the sofa while playing her phone, checking what news was interesting to learn rather than join alone. The corner of the girl's lips was interested in forming half a circle.

"It's exciting, Azka won't?" muttered Salsa when he saw the night market banner that will be held in the city square.

"Ask first" Salsa broke up.

The girl entered the green app and pressed the contact she pinned, sending a message to the man who recently indulged her even though she rarely spoke.

Azka: Ka, there is a night market in the town square, you want to go there?

Almost half an hour of Salsa waiting but there was no reply from Azka.

Azka: You're busy, right? Dadah no papa, can I go alone? Not too late, after seeing the atmosphere I went home.

Azka: Next time we go together, dah ...."

After parting ways with Azka despite no reply, Salsa prepared to leave. But Azka said he could go even if there was no reply. Maybe because Azka was busy or did not have time to hold hp.

Waiting for a taxi on the porch while playing a mobile phone is his hobby every time he goes. Notification of incoming messages on his phone, making Salsa smile discordant.

Rio: Don't you know that there is a night market?

Salsa: I'm waiting for a taxi

Rio: Coincidentally, together with yuk!

Salsa: Next time okay, I'm the same Azka again

Rio: Well, gini if friends already have girlfriends

After rejecting Rio's invitation by lying Salsa walks out of his yard while a taxi waits in front of the fence. Salsa continued to watch her phone hoping for a reply from Azka who would catch up with her, but nil even in readpun not.

"May you have a job Ka, not a brawl" muttered Salsa.

Arriving at the night market, Salsa walked cheerfully into the market. Many young couples live there, walking together or just holding hands to walk together.

He headed for one of the stores that was quite crowded, he said there was a massive discount. Because creatures named women like to discount, the store is full of women even though the clothes are sold to men.

Successfully sneaking into the not-so-big shop, Salsa went around looking for something that was right for someone, and the choice fell on the white hoodie in the hat. A smile was again present on his lips as he imagined how handsome Azka was while wearing it.

Without bidding for fear first with others, Salsa bought it, although her pocket money range of six pieces of red money must be forfeited, it does not matter for the sake of her beloved boyfriend.

"Hopefully Azka liked it" muttered Salsa continuing her exploration of the night market.

Someone suddenly clasped her hands, she turned her head and found Rio smiling sweetly at her.

"Look, you said the same Azka but where?" said Rio.

"Rio, I guess who, thankfully I don't scream."

"Because his girlfriend is not there, it's my turn to go around the night market to be satisfied. Oh, did you buy what it was?" rio asked snatch the paper bag in Salsa's hand.

"Hoodie made Azka, really pretty, right?"

The smile on Rio's face disappeared instantly, even when Azka wasn't around Salsa was still thinking about it. I don't know which miracle he'll get Salsa's heart.

"Basically there is always going to be a defeat to someone who is always at heart."

"According to Papi's wishes or you won't see the girl again."

Ans's threat a few days ago always swirled in Azka's head like a recording. Salsa was Azka's weakness for now, threatening that the man would injure Salsa had left her unwell.

Along the way to the restaurant where they would meet the Alana family and talk about the engagement, Azka was silent. Even now he does not hold a cell phone because it was confiscated by his father until today's meeting.

Dance clasped her son's clenched hand, the veins in the man's hand protruding.

"Sorry Mami, can't do anything for you, son," said Tari, but Azka remained unmoved looking straight ahead.

While waiting for Alana's family to come, Azka and her family order food in advance for dinner later. Just as Azka was about to budge, a beautiful girl with a sullen face walked into the VIP room.

"Well!"

"Azka?" Alana's body was petrified in the doorway when she knew the person she was going to marry was her best friend.

The girl looked at her parents alternately and just smiled back.

"Any prospective Mami's ghost is very beautiful," welcome to attract Alana to sit right in front of Azka who is still standing sculpting.

"So Alana all this time did not know if you want to be in the same match with me?" batin Azka making fun. It was only fitting that the girl was being mediocre at the top.

"It seems there is a charm similar to the beauty of Alana," quipped Mother Anin when Azka had not yet sat still staring at Alana.

Dinner began with the excitement of the parents, but not for Azka and Alana, there was a relationship between the two.

Girls who usually stick to Azka are now silent a thousand languages, what else when parents determine the date of their engagement. This cannot happen, he already has his own candidate.

"Kok became awkward as if he had just met her," said Mami Tari, only to be smiled back by Alana.

"Maybe you don't expect the soul mate of your own little friend" said Bunda Anin.

Fathers are also busy with their own world, talking about business because they have not met for a long time.

Azka's eyebrows shot up while looking at the girl in front of her, as she felt a kick under the table. He re-codes when he understands Alana's code.

Alana moved after understanding Azka's gaze. "Alana wants to talk to Azka!" alana finally said.

"Why should I ask permission, dear? Want to walk tonight also no papa, there's a long talk!" sahut Mami Tari is very excited as well as others.

"Don't bother Azka!" mother Anin's warning.

Alana just nodded, following Azka's steps who now walked ahead of her. They are now in the park near a fairly quiet restaurant, sitting side by side while staring at the leaves that sway in the wind.

"Why not?" ask Alana

"Why don't you refuse, too?"

Silence, no one else opened their voices. Only the sound of crickets and leaves accompanied them.

"Gue does not want to marry you" said Alana along with Azka.
