The Romance After Marriage
2.5 | C : a Proposal

Kyra -

"So how??" Again, Mas Kamil fishing. "What was your answer to my question just now? You think Kyra's a woman or..."

"Mas Kamil!" I hurriedly interrupted. I think it's time I had to save Delvin. Anyway, I think Mas Kamil has gone a bit too far with Delvin. He's been too cornered. That's not what he needs to do! But I just didn't comment anything!

Kamil looked at me for a moment. So did the others, except Delvin who was still glued to his place. Tacit. Mutely. Ck! In my heart I clucked. Right, that boy must be in shock right now, as a result of Mas Kamil's heartless introduction!

"Why?" Mas Kamil asked with his eyebrows raised high up.

I snorted, returning his gaze with no less intimidating. Can anyone be strict only him? I can too!

"I want to ask...what is the importance of the hell, Delvin ever think of me as a woman or not?! Didn't Mas Kamil ever say, marriage is about finding a friend for life? Yeah, right?!" I asked with a slightly challenging tone. I just want to remind him of what he said to me before he got married.

"Then...is not the context of marriage is not just about love?" Again, not satisfied to speak.

Kamil looked at me straight. He even changed his position from facing Delvin to facing me.

Now replace the one who snorted. "Mas didn't say it was love, huh... But this is a feeling of interest, Kyra! There is a feeling of interest in looking at the opposite sex. That is one important formula in building a marriage! It does not matter if there are couples who have not loved each other, but if from the beginning they already have a sense of mutual interest in each other, then, their marriage in the future will be easier. And vice versa. everything will feel heavy and difficult if the marriage partner does not have that one thing." Obviously Mas Kamil is long, which really makes me instantly clench my lips tightly. Because what he said was true.

But, even so I have to stick to my stance that goes against him. Because here my position is in Delvin's camp. Delvin and I are a team now. We can't be divided, or what we've been trying to do is just plain futility!

"You should know Kyra. Marriage is not a simple friendship that if you are angry with Delvin just close the balcony door. Then, the problem is over!" Said Mas Kamil, who this time managed to make me frown. Why should he even carry around that part in this explanation anyway?! Just make me come! Huft.

"Marriage problems are more complex, Kyra. You won't be able to understand that with your zero experience of love!" Firmly Mas Kamil who increasingly corner me. Makes me a bit inadmissive, and so even more willing to fight it.

"Why do you bring all the experience?! Not when Mas Kamil lamar Mbak Intan, Mas experience is still zero??" I asked, replying to her words earlier. Besides, it is not just me who has no experience, Mas Kamil is the same. She never dated like me, you know!

Kamil was silent. He even took a long breath. Yeah, I guessed it too, he wouldn't be able to reverse that question to me. Because we are the same!

And, after a few moments of only silence created in this room, I cleared my throat to break the atmosphere as well as to melt the hoarseness in the esophagus after the debate just now.

Sighs, preparing to voice my opinion again. "I think the difficulty of marriage depends on what we think. It's like a suggestion. And, I don't think marriage is going to be that difficult as long as we respect, respect and aim for each other. That was aja. I think that's enough to solidify the foundation of marriage. Yeah, right, Dad??" I looked back at Dad, implying that Dad could support my opinion just now. But instead of commenting on something, Dad just reviewed a smile for me. Ah, Ayaaahh! Why is that so sighh?!! my anger in my heart.

"Kyra, you..." Mas Kamil narrowed his eyes until they turned sharp, razor sharp! I frowned, somewhat confused by her reaction.

"Why did you become Delvin's brain?!" Ask Mas Kamil in a tone that is not out of thought. Then, a second later, he snorted loudly. "Don't tell me you guys are planning all this? Delvin and you.. Is this your deal??" His eyebrows were drawn high up, looking at me intimidatingly. Demanding truth. "Yes, right?!"

All right, just end this with one shot! I'm not going to run away with an alibi. I'll deal with this myself if Delvin can't. Yes, the rice has already become porridge. It's free, isn't it, if I give up in the middle?

Then, without much thought. I let out a short breath, "Yes! This is indeed-"

"YES,"

His voice interjected louder to muffle my voice that spoke first. Everyone in the room hurriedly looked at him. Delvin began to open his voice again after a few minutes he was silent like a statue sitting breathing. Basic, slow action!

I looked at him with narrowed eyes. Which actually aims to satirize the slow-moving it subtly. But it seems like it's free. After all, now his eyes are not glancing at me at all! Substantial.

"Yes, what do you mean?" Ask Kamil to her.

Delvin looked at Mas Kamil, and vice versa. They sat with each other long enough to make my only brother become bored himself to frown deep.

Then, then without saying a single word or to just continue the sentence earlier to Mas Kamil, he even melengos. Looking in the other direction. He looked to where he was sitting. The place where Dad is.

Again I cringe. I don't know how many times. What's clear is that this time Delvin's magic is strange and confusing! I don't understand what it means to take that look away...

"Yes, I have that feeling for Kyra, Mr. Gin!"

I'm glaring. Even my lips were so gaping that I didn't expect him to speak so in front of Dad straight away! I nodded, not thinking. Delvin is so desperate!!

"Maybe other people don't know, but all this time I've been looking at Kyra as a woman. I was also attracted to him as was interested in the opposite sex. Not just interested because we've been friends." She shook her head. "It's different, sir." And then again, more convincing.

Really am! His confession just now was able to make Dad stare, silent at him. Maybe you don't even think about why that boy could be this close!

"So... Can you bless us now??" Delvin asked increasingly desperate, directly to Dad.

I smiled thinly. Delvin... Delvin... it turns out you are quite good at acting too huh?! Haha.
