Preview : So, will you marry me?
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jani walked lazily to her desk. Rena who had been busy wearing her make up suddenly stopped her activities and began to focus on Jani. No, but more towards Jani's eye bags. Even though she was wearing glasses, Rena could still see that Jani's eyes looked like they had been beaten by someone. Swollen and becomes very narrow.
"Why?" Rena stood up and walked over to Jani who had just put her butt on her work chair.
"It hurts," Jani answered briefly but unfortunately it wasn't clear enough for Rena.
"Why? You owe me a story, okay?" Rena returned to her cubicle because she saw Arga walking towards them.
Jani just watched Rena leave with a lazy look. Rena is still Rena. Curious but actually because she cares for her.
"Hi!" Arga was standing with a smile full of charm in front of Jani.
"Hello!" Jani answered as enthusiastically as possible even though it sounded very nasal to Arga's ears.
"Need a help?" Arga still maintains his smile.
"No, I'm fine thank you," Jani smiled as she turned on her computer.
Life must go on, just because of a broken heart, will not make Jani skip her work. Jani has built a career so far, in a well-known company that is known to be very difficult to pass the entrance test. From the beginning she was committed to working hard for the company.
"Don't go straight home later, wait for me in the lobby." Arga said as he walked backwards leaving Jani who didn't even have time to say a word.
Jani really wasn't in a good mood. Since the incident she'd seen Dana and a woman she guessed was Reyna, her life had become disorganized. Last night she went to bed at 12 pm then woke up at 2 in the morning and didn't go back to sleep. Jani is aware that she has to work, but it's not that she doesn't want to take care of her health. It's just that she really couldn't sleep so after she was tired of crying she decided to read a book by Anthony De Mello. After all, she wasn't truant either so there was nothing wrong with her.
She had only been working for a few hours, when suddenly her eyes were attacked by a very intense sleepiness. Jani started dropping her head on the table. It didn't feel like her eyes were getting heavier and Jani finally didn't realize that she had fallen asleep in the office.
***
After returning from work, Jani did not immediately intend to go home. What is the reason if it is not Arga. Jani thinks she has done nothing wrong when she meets or even walks with Arga. After all, Jani and Arga are just friends. Arga is a very kind and sincere man. If only her heart was a little smart to choose, Arga would have become her boyfriend now. It's not that Jani is overly confident, it's just that which girl doesn't understand that Arga is still approaching her without any intention of giving up even though Jani already has Dana.
Ckh! Thinking of Dana made Jani curse her brain. She didn't want to think or think about Dana. But still can't. At least Jani was trying to be okay.
Jani walked to the waiting chair in the lobby of her office. Calmly she sat down in the empty chair. She glanced briefly at her wrist where her watch showed half past six in the afternoon. Jani didn't bother sending messages to Arga. She was sure that Arga would appear soon.
Her guess was right, Arga emerged from the elevator door with a little run. Jani put on a flat face when she saw Arga smiling at her. It's not because she was lazy, it's just that her mind says why not just Arga? Will she be happy if she is with Arga? If with Arga, her life would not be as complicated as now? There were too many questions that made Jani shake her head a little loudly.
"Hey, why? Are you dizzy?" Arga immediately squatted in front of Jani.
Jani, who realized that Arga had squatted in front of her, immediately rolled her eyes and instantly turned her head in all directions. Jani was afraid that someone would see. And oh, of course, many staff watched the romantic scene, because that hour was the hour to go home from work.
"Can you just stand up? Afraid to be gossiped by people," Jani put on an awkward smile.
"Okay," Arga then stood up and moved to sit next to Jani. "Sorry for the long wait huh?" Arga asked while continuing to pay attention to Jani.
No, Arga noticed the eye bags on Jani's beautiful face.
"No, it's only been 5 minutes. Um, where are we going?" Jani asked with her innocent face.
"Follow me okay? I want to show you something," Arga smiled broadly showing his clean and neat teeth.
Jani just nodded and they immediately left the office. On the way, Jani was silent as she continued to look out the window. Arga occasionally glanced to his left where Jani was silent and lost in thought. However, Arga was at a loss as to what to say.
"Erm!" Arga deliberately cleared his throat so Jani's focus returned.
And sure enough, Jani immediately turned to Arga. Jani looked at him questioningly. Arga then smiled a little and shook his head slowly a sign that it's okay. Their atmosphere is very different from usual. So awkward and so quiet. After feeling that Arga had to speak, the man dared to raise his voice.
"The place is not far, we will be there soon."
"Where are we going?" Jani asked with full focus on Arga.
"You'll know later," Arga smiled.
A few moments later, they arrived at a house. Arga got out of the car and opened the gate of the house. Minimalist with a fairly large front yard. White paint makes the house seem clean and comfortable. Then he returned to the car and put it into the garage which turned out to be the rolling door automatically opened when Arga pressed a button on a remote.
Jani looked around confused once they got into the house. The house was quiet and dark when they arrived. Then Arga turns on all the lights in the house via a remote, which Jani believes is used to order any facilities in the house.
"What are we doing here? Is this your house?" Jani looked at Arga suspiciously.
"Yes, this is my house, later I want to show you something. And that is not this house," Arga smiled then told Jani to sit down.
Meanwhile, the man disappeared somewhere and told Jani to wait a while.
Jani looked around the living room of the house and then sat down on one of the sofas which did feel comfortable. "It must be expensive, it's softer than Dana's sofa." Jani hastily shook her head after being presumptuous of her brain always comparing anything with Dana.
"Are you dizzy?" Arga walked to Jani with two mugs in his hand.
Arga then put the mugs on the table and immediately squatted down to look at Jani's face with full of worry.
"No, sorry can you just sit there?" Jani pointed to the sofa on her left.
Arga shook his head. "No, I want to talk to you now." Arga looked at Jani without blinking.
Jani, who was being stared at by Arga suddenly felt the atmosphere around them suddenly change. Nervous and awkward. Jani showed an expression on her face pretending to be flat. But instead it looks adorable in Arga's eyes.
"Are you nervous?" Arga chuckled.
"Eng… Eng…" Jani cleared her throat because it was difficult to get out a single sentence. "Erm! It's just not normal," Jani was finally able to control herself again.
"Listen to me, okay?" Arga suddenly grabbed Jani's hand.
Jani glared at Arga's treatment of her. However, Jani can't seem to pull her hand away because Arga holds her back. But, her mouth also seemed difficult to issue a protest sentence. Her eyes locked on Arga's jet black beads eyes.
"I've been attracted to you since the first time we met, I didn't know that my attraction was actually growing without you looking at it." Arga took a deep breath. "I'm afraid of losing you, Jani." said Arga seriously. "The girl who I love half to death said, love can be built and I agree. That girl is you. So, will you marry me?" Then one of Arga's hands let go of Jani's hand and took something from his jacket pocket that he hadn't taken off.
Arga opened a square with blue velvet skin.
Jani suddenly covered her mouth in shock. A ring with a diamond eye, beautiful and dazzling to anyone who sees it. Arga smiled and was still waiting for Jani's answer. While the girl he was waiting for is still busy with a sense of extraordinary shock.
