Pursuing the Love of Husband
chapter 11

It's been almost two weeks since they took a walk to the park. When Siti was resting on the porch of the house after lunch, suddenly her papa Cinta, Rey came to Ranti's house alone without Love as usual.

"Mak Siti." Call Rey.

"Yesa. . . " Satur Siti. He looked towards the source of the voice. Siti was so shocked when she found out who called her. " Sir Rey?" His words were soft with his chest suddenly pounding.

"May I sit down?" Rey asked without looking at her interlocutor.

"I yes, please!" Siti replied while nodding nervously. Dream what her papa Love came alone and sat next to her.

Rey walked quietly closer and sat down next to Siti. "Is there a minute? I have something to say!" Say it later.

Siti just nodded.

"Hmm, sorry before. You know my daughter's love, right? He's my one-on-one life booster. Anything I would do to make her smile, happy all her life." Rey was silent for a few minutes. While talking to Siti, she just stared straight ahead without even turning her head towards Siti.

"He wants you to marry me, be his mama!" Say Rey again. Flat, no emotions.

Suddenly Siti felt the pounding on her chest increasingly making her tight. What did your Papa Love just say? Married to her? So her mom is Love?

"I'll give you anything you want if you want to marry me! Give your affection and attention only to my daughter!" This time Rey emphasized his words.

What kind of wedding does Rey offer? Inner Siti churned. He wanted to answer but was confused.

"This is what you read first! If you disagree, just say it!" Rey handed me a brown envelope.

"A this pa, Rey's father?" Ask Siti confused. He held the brown envelope with trembling hands.

"You read it first!" Pinta Rey's.

Siti opened the envelope and took out the contents. A piece of white paper. Siti read one by one the writing on the paper. In a matter of seconds, his silence creased. Especially this? His inner. "A what does this mean sir?" Tanya Siti stammered.

"Is there anything you don't understand?" Rey asked back.

"This. . . So Mr Rey asked me to marry Mr Rey on these terms?" Siti's voice sounded vibrating, her body was no less shaking in order to understand the meaning of the contents of the writing on the paper.

"That's not just a condition but a reward you'll get." Rey sounded haughty.

"Sa, I don't want to be like this, Mr. Rey!" Siti breathed a heavy sigh." I don't want anything in return!" Strictly even with a vibrating voice.

"Then what do you want?"

Siti was silent, she really never dreamed of getting married in such a situation. "If Rey doesn't want me, why marry me?"

"Love. Just for my daughter's sake, love!" Rey replied flat and cold. His face was expressionless, staring blankly ahead.

The answer is mild according to Rey but sounds painful in Siti's ears. I want Siti to protest but her lips are twisted.

"How, do you agree?" Rey asked when Siti was silent.

"I, I don't want to use the terms and everything written here!" Siti folded the white paper back and put it again in a brown envelope and then put it on the table next to them.

"Then what do you want?"

"I want a regular wedding! Like everyone else in general!" Answer Siti.

"What kind of marriage do I not understand? I have never been married!"

Deg. . .! She was shocked to hear Rey's answer. Rey has never been married? Then Love? Is love not her daughter? The princess who loved so much that she was willing to do whatever Love wanted? So many questions in Siti's head. But he did not dare to ask.

"Ta but. . .?" Siti hesitated to continue her sentence.

"Love my daughter who was born outside of marriage. Her mother was married to someone else. And I've never been married!" Rey said that as if understanding with all the questions in Siti's head.

Siti closed her mouth and her eyes rounded. Whahuh? Who is the mother of love?

"I just want you to answer yes! My daughter wants you to be her mom! And you never ask me how I feel!" Rey sounds like a force.

"Ta, but?" Siti's heart is pounding. This is totally insane! What kind of marriage is that? His inner. Then he remembered love. The little girl really seemed to like him. And because of that little girl, now her life is calmer and better.

"I don't have much time!" Rey can't wait for Siti's answer.

"Hmm, fine! What is your account number! I'll transfer!"

"No! I don't want any money, Rey!" Reject Siti firmly.

"okay! I will send someone to take care of your needs! We're getting married next week!" He stood up and put his hands in his pants pocket. He was leaving Siti.

"Wait on! Please just bring this envelope!" Siti Pinta.

"You keep it!" Rey passed away without saying goodbye.

Siti could only stare at Rey's departure. After Rey's car was no longer visible, Siti also rose from her seat. He went into the room with a brown envelope and kept it in a drawer. After that, he immediately returned to the store.

The next day, just like yesterday when Siti was on her afternoon break. A woman came to meet Siti. He was carrying two large paperbags.

"The mbak Siti." Greet the woman kindly.

"Siang ma'am, can I help you?" Siti Sahut.

"I'm the messenger from Mr. Reynand wants to meet with Ms. Siti!" Said the woman.

"Hmm, a verdict from Reynand sir?" Ask Siti in shock.

"Yes mbak. Can I come in?"

"Oh yes please come in!" Take Siti. They then entered the living room. "Please sit!"

The woman sat down and pulled something out of the paperbag. " Thank you Siti. I was told to bring this to mbak Siti try which one she likes." He then gave a big box to Siti.

Siti took it. He was shocked to see the contents. "This. . .?" The confused woman stared at the box. A beautiful white dress.

"Mdak try. Do I need to help? If you don't like that one, here's another one you can try." Light up the woman.

"Oh, I'll try it myself. I'll go to the room first!" Pamphitt. The woman just nodded.

Siti walked to her room. She put the dress on the bed. Then she tried to wear it. He looked at his reflection in the mirror. This dress is beautiful, but not suitable for me to wear. His inner. She then reopened the dress. After putting her clothes back on, she went out of the room with the dress.

"How do you like the dress?" Ask the woman.

"This dress is too beautiful, it doesn't suit me." Siti Terang.

"Oh, then how about trying another one?" The woman then took out another box that was in the paperbag and gave it to Siti.

Siti took the box from the woman's hand. "Thank you." Her speech. She returned to her room to try on the dress in the box.

Not long after Siti returned to the living room. "The dress is equally beautiful. It's too beautiful to wear by me." His speech is low.

"This is a wedding dress, of course it must be beautiful!" Said the woman.

"But I'm ashamed to wear it." Say Siti again.

"These dresses are the simplest in our boutique. Suitable for Muslim women who wear hijab." Light up the woman.

"Hmm, fine then I choose the first one that is white!" Siti Say. He has no other choice.

"Well then I'll go home first." Pamit the woman. He got up from his seat and went out of the house to follow Siti from behind.

"Thank you mbak!" Said the woman.

"Yes, you're both mbak!" Reply Siti.

Siti back in the house. She took the dress to her room and hung it behind the door.

Mr Rey, don't you have a little taste for me? Or even hate me? Never even wanted to look at me. I want to marry the man I love and love me. But this marriage, isn't there the slightest love in it? Siti's mind glared far away. . .
