The orange tinge still faithfully adorns the clouds in the west. The breeze also accompanied as a complement to the atmosphere that afternoon. Behind the open window, a girl was pensive with her hair blown by the wind.
Her beautiful eyes stared blankly ahead. She had a lot to consider, but it seemed so full of thoughts that she chose silence. Everything was so sudden, he didn't even know about the figure.
The sound of the door creaking caught his attention. On the threshold of the room, a middle-aged woman was staring at him sadly. The girl knew what her beautiful angel was aiming for. However, there was no answer he could give.
"Emely, Mother--"
"Why didn't you tell Emely earlier, Mom?" interrupted Emily. His eyes were full of question marks and of course, there was disappointment in them.
For the first time, the girl interrupted her mother's words. Emely didn't want to fight, but everything was completely unexpected.
"Son, you will understand after you know the reason from your father. Therefore, let's talk about everything first. We ... we can't possibly give the wrong decision for you, our only child," said the mother, making Emely silent.
True, all parents will give the best for their children. Even though it's unlikely that something went wrong. But so far, his parents are the best gift for Emely.
"How?" her mother asked, once again.
Emely looked at the old bead. There was no other choice but to follow his mother's advice. Because this problem must be solved and Emily's decision is the key.
"Okay, Mom. For Mother's sake," replied Emely making her mother sigh slowly.
The girl approached her mother at the door, and they went downstairs to meet her father. The key to what happened this morning.
***
The middle-aged man with glasses was seriously looking at Emely who was looking down. Beside him, there was a man in a suit with a cold bed. One that characterizes the man, is his eagle eyes. Those eyes seemed ready to tear anyone who dared to look down on him. Including Emily.
"Emely, do you have the answer?" asked the father to start the conversation.
Emely was silent for a moment, then soon she shook her head slowly. The girl thought, no man came this morning. All are beyond expectations.
A sigh came from the bespectacled man. He lea, as if they were asking for an opinion.
"We're fine. Em, how's Mr. William?"
The man in question looked at Emely intensely. He wouldn't have done this if it weren't for his little daughter.
"Okay, I'll give you a week. After a week, I'll be back here again," William answered, his eyes peeling Emely. The girl kept her head down avoiding the boy's close long after, William said goodbye. After that, Emily returned to her room. He needs space to think clearly.

The sound of crickets chirping, in India, indicates the night is getting late. It was already 11 pm, but Emily's refused to close. The girl felt uncomfortable because she had to think about heavy things.
He has just turned 23 years old. His career as a teacher was still young, but he had to deal with complicated marriage problems. Her dream to build a household is with a loved one and it's not a man named William.
Made Lucianased her eyes remembering the incident this morning that made her life immediately turn 180 degrees.
The sun was so hot, that it was already overhead, indicating that it was midday. Emely came home late, she had to accompany her students who were waiting to be picked up. Like it or not, Emely had to wait too. Even though his cell phone was vibrating when he came home from school, he ignored it. She has a responsibility for it, her maternal instinct is so strong.
When he returned home, Emely frowned making the owner uncomfortable and feeling skinned. Then, without further ado, the deep voice spoke.
"Emely, marry me."
The girl glared. He seemed to be electrocuted by hundreds of volts, making his body tense and then weakened. He turned to his father who smiled at him.
William's words made Emily's mouth feel locked, her tongue was numb even to ask. All suddenly.
Whether it was a blessing or a bad dream, he certainly never expected to be proposed to by a stranger.
Emily took a deep breath. She will never forget this day. She could not immediately accept without recognizing his potential life partner. Shouldn't matchmaking only have to exist in the process of getting to know each other? Then, what about him? This wasn't an arranged marriage, so he had to think about it carefully.
***
The roar of the car engine collided with the sound of horns blaring. This kind of atmosphere made Emely a little annoyed. He should have gone by public transportation, instead of being there, with the cold man who had messed up his life since yesterday.
"You shouldn't have bothered to take me. I can take public transport," said Emely, glancing at a man who was serious about driving.
Silence. There is no answer. Emely cursed herself for daring to speak up. He should have stayed quiet the whole way.
The girl glanced at the clock in her hand. Ten minutes later the doorbell rang, but she was still on the street with a man she had just met and was in a traffic jam. The start of the day spoiled his mood.
Congestion is also not unraveled. I don't know what caused the congested roads, but Emely was uncomfortable with her current position. The girls exhaled slowly, inwardly cursing her negligence.
If it weren't for his motorbike breaking down, he might have arrived at school by now. His busy schedule makes Emely forget to service the motorbike. Unfortunately, he even accidentally met William.
William forced Emely to come along. At first, he refused, but William scared him because he would call the girl's condition to her father. Be them there, side by side in an awkward atmosphere. More rigid.
