"You're fine at school, don't be naughty, if you're naughty, Om says it's with Mommy, if Mommy's angry, Mommy won't see you again."
Ameera and Ammar nodded at the threat from Aldi. They both miss their mother a lot, so if they get this kind of threat, there's nothing they can do but obey.
"You've always been like that Aldi, pity them. They were still small, it was only natural that they were a little wayward. Besides, Byan's coming home the day after, why are you lying to them?"
Aldi thinned his lips in front of Navisa, actually Aldi also did not want to be like that, but yes how else. The two boys always stress Aldi, either because of their behavior or the other.
"Easy! Don't speak their language, I have something for you. Come with me."
Navisa had not yet answered, Aldi had already pulled his hand and took him away from there. They stopped at a very nice cafe. It's still quite early in the morning, but the cafe is already crowded.
"Sit down! I'll order your favorite cake."
Navisa nodded, she complied and only saw the area around the cafe. The interior is so adorable. Very suitable if made a place to hang out young people.
A few minutes later, Aldi returns, bringing along Navisa's favorite cake and latex.
"This is your favorite red velvet cake. Today was special because the cafe owner gave a 50% discount%."
Navisa smiled and took the cake. From the look, color and smell, Navisa really likes this cake. "Are you sure the cake is as pretty as this 50% discount%?" ask Navisa reassuringly. Because, this cake still looks very fresh, if this cake a few days ago is very unlikely."
"Try it!"
Navisa nodded again, she scooped the cake and put it in her mouth. He said it was immediately rounded, his head was nodding like a sign that the red velvet cake was very tasty.
"Do you like it?"
"Heummmmh. It's really pretty amazing, not bitter, not too sweet and everything fits. Try if juxtaposed with chocolate ice cream or vanilla, it will certainly taste fresher."
Aldi nodded his head. He picked up a book, and wrote something on top of it. A note that meant a lot to him.
"What are you doing?" ask Navisa to be confused.
"I'm writing a customer review. You are a cake lover, just like Kak Byan, the difference is, if he is too fanatical as the chocolate cake, if you are more neutral, I know that you prefer red velvet cake, indeed, but if it's not there, you can eat another cake."
"I know about it, but why do you even make a review, does the cafe owner ask you to do that, instead of the cake discount?"
Aldi shook his head. "This cafe is my cafe. And one day it'll be yours too, you see the initials hanging from the ceiling!" Aldi pointed at a decoration above their heads. "N&A!" aldi said with a big smile.
While Navisa, the woman looked confused. Both his eyebrows are linked. He still could not digest what Aldi said.
As if understanding with Navisa's confusion, Aldi pulled Navisa's hand and rubbed the back of the hand gently.
"Na, for all the years I've been around you, I've actually been attracted to you. Especially when Rendy leaves you for another woman, I want to be your protector. Navisa, enough for these 4 years we are friends, can we just get married? Please, do not reject me, I promise, I will heal the wounds in your heart. I'm not going to be a jerk and a selfish guy. I'll take good care of you."
Suddenly the room in the cafe became a bit dark, some curtains came down covering the glass wall and also the window in the cafe, and even more astounding, it was, everyone who Navisa thought was a customer, in fact, was getting closer to them carrying some foster that was able to make Navisa flinch.
"I love you Navisa. Be a part of my life, I promise, I will be a loyal man, I will not let you down. Will you marry me?"
An inscription on the banner that had just appeared increasingly made Navisa flabbergasted. He glanced at Aldi. Aldi nodded, asking Navisa to give him an answer immediately.
"Thank you!" "Thank you!" "Thank you!"
Everyone cheered loudly asking Navisa to accept the proposal from Aldi. Navisa looked into Aldi's eyes fixed, the look did not show a joke. Aldi actually proposed to him. In this way?
"Are you ready for Navisa?"
In the end Navisa nodded her head with tears beginning to fall. Aldi who saw Navisa's answer immediately approached the girl and hugged her tightly. It was so tight that the person in the hug complained of being out of breath.
"I'm sorry Na, I'm sorry!"
Navisa shook her head. Just as he wanted to speak, Aldi suddenly crouched back down, he took something from inside the pocket of the jacket he was wearing. A diamond ring appeared. Aldi grabbed Navisa's hand and pinned the ring on her sweet finger.
"Thank you for not rejecting me Na."
Navisa nodded her head. He rushed into Aldi's arms until Aldi almost fell on him.
"Thank you Al, thank you, I promise, I won't be selfish anymore."
Everyone cheered happily seeing the couple finally not getting stuck in the friend zone status.
...----------------...
While in another corner, a beautiful woman was staring at a small box on her desk. He opened the box, there was a pair of beautiful bracelets that seemed to be his own handmade. There's the initials A & A on that bracelet.
"I know you never liked me Aldi, thank you, even if you don't accept my expression, at least you've given me a chance to say my heart. I'm not curious anymore. May you be happy with the woman you love."
"Are you rejected?" ask someone suddenly.
Agnes immediately closed the box and hid it. He turned his head back.
"Mike!"
"I knew you were going to be rejected, actually, from the beginning I realized that Aldi only thought of you as Agnes' friend, just like me. But I salute you, you can express your heart out loud, while I can only continue to hide with my feelings. I'm a loser."
Agnes laughing. "You're not a loser at all, just don't let you regret if one day the woman you like is captured by someone else. All I know is, women really want clarity."
Mike nodded. He and Agnes stared at each other. One smiled broadly, while the other smiled thinly. A meaningful smile.
"Would you accept me if I told you I liked you so much, Agnes, I even followed you here. Is my action right?"
