Chapter 5 The Way He Proposed Me Part 2

"You say it's very beautiful, no, that's an exaggeration. She's beautiful but surely there are still many girls who are far prettier than her out there,” he replied, I scowled here. I don't know why I don't like hearing this answer.

"But there are some things that make it special in my eyes," he continued. I was momentarily stunned.

"Oh yes? What's that? Can you name it? asked the host, a similar request that was now dancing in my head.

“She has an inner beauty that makes me crazy about her. She has a very kind and gentle heart. She always understands that when I can't always be near her she's so busy, she never complains or gets angry. She is also a forgiving type of girl, countless times I make mistakes with her. But she can always forgive me.” Raefal paused his words, while I'm here holding my breath, can't believe he was saying all this in public.

“She is also an independent girl, always trying to make her wish come true in her way. No matter how difficult the conditions are without bothering other people. She is also tough and patient. Amazingly, she always thinks positively every time she faces a problem. After seven years of courting her, I know how hard the troubles she's been in, but she never gives up.She always finds a way out of every problem she has without asking other people for help.

"Wow... she's a great girl huh?" replied the host. I heard Raefal mutter in the affirmative.

"Not only that, she's special in my eyes. She is the person who understands me the most both my nature, my character and my personality. The point is she always knows I'm having problems without bothering to tell her."

"Wow... your girl is great. Could it be that she has psychic abilities?”

I chuckled at the radio host's joke. He always thinks that way about me.

“Hahahaha... could be. But it seems like she knows me too well inside and out which makes her able to know my mood just by looking at my facial expressions and attitude. I think so," Raefal replied, which again made me blush here.

"Does that mean you're lucky to have a girl like her?"

"Yes, very lucky. Oh yes. Can I say something to her here?”

I rolled my eyes when I heard Raefal's request. What did he want to convey to me? I tried to focus my hearing, I didn't want any of his words to be missed.

"Hello Indira Gianina, I know you must be sitting in front of your radio smiling to yourself right now right?" he said, I was shocked, how did he know it? I subconsciously nodded my head.

"I want to say I'm sorry because all this time I've often left you, especially since I started work. I rarely get to spend time alone with you. My habit of often bullying you too, must make you annoyed, right? But you're always patient enough to face me like this? Thank you, honey."

My smile grew wider without him knowing, even though it was inversely proportional to my eyes that started to get teary.

“I know that no one is perfect in this world, including me and you too. But in my eyes, no girl can match you in my heart. It's like my heart is a room, only you can enter that room because only you hold the key to the door of the room. The point is that no other girl can replace your position in my heart.”

This time I shed tears, I was moved to hear his words.

"Thanks, Indi, you've always been there for me. Always support me, understand me, and accept me as I am when I have a myriad of shortcomings. For me, you are so perfect. It's only your name that I call in my prayers, asking God that until death comes, you will always be by my side."

The sound of my sobbing began to flow in the room, even the tears I couldn't hold back anymore.

"I can't believe it, we've been dating for seven years. Can I start thinking about having a more serious relationship with you? Are you ready yet?" he asked which unfortunately I can not answer now. He is far away from me, if he were here with me now, I would answer this question without hesitation.

“Yes, yes, I know you must be annoyed right now, I asked like this even though I was no longer there. It's not near you anymore."

I was wide-eyed again, for the umpteenth time he could guess exactly what I was thinking. Shouldn't the radio host be more suspicious of Raefal who has psychic abilities than me?

"I want to hear your answer right now. So, can you now get out of your room? Go to your backyard, where the candles will lead you to me."

I blinked my eyes this time, not understanding the slightest meaning of his words.

"I'm waiting for your answer yes. Call this radio station to give me the answer. I know you have the phone number of your favorite radio station.”

Spontaneously I got up from a sitting position, intending to walk towards the door.

"I'll give you 15 minutes. And your 15 minutes start from now,” he continued, successfully making me flinch for the umpteenth time.

“Damn Raefal!!” I shouted as I quickly ran out of the room.

The backyard is my main goal now. As soon as I opened the door that would lead me to the backyard, I didn't know how to express my surprise.

In front of it ... I saw the trees growing in the backyard had been decorated in such a way. Lots of colorful balloons tied there. The light of lights that decorated the trees twinkled like the stars in the sky there. My yard, which usually looks dark and gloomy at night, now looks sparkling like an ornamental garden.

What amazed me even more, there were lit candles placed along the way.

I remember Raefal saying these candles would lead me to him. Then without thinking twice, I followed the candles.

The candle stopped right at a pot of red roses. When I examined the pot, I gasped when I found an envelope. I quickly took the envelope and looked at its contents.

It was a photo that I found in the envelope. I remember this photo. A photo of myself and Raefal going to a mall, then we took a photo together in a photo box. Raefal suddenly kissed my cheek right when the camera took our picture.

This is what the photo in my hand looks like. A photo where I'm expressing surprise because Raefal is pressing his lips on my cheek.

I chuckled when I saw this photo. Turns out he still has it even though it's been 8 years since we took this photo.

I was about to put the photo back in the envelope, but I didn't. I noticed there was writing on the back of the photo.

‘WHEN YOU SEE MY FACE IN THIS PHOTO. THAT IS WHEN YOU ARE SEEING THE EXPRESSION OF A MAN WHO IS IN LOVE.’

I covered my mouth, yes I saw it. Seeing Raefal's face blushing when he kissed my cheek. OK, now I know when he started loving me because all this time he never answered me whenever I asked.

When we took this photo, we were still friends. I remember we were only close for about two months then. Close in the sense of being a real friend, not just a classmate.

I held the photo tightly as I continued to follow the candles that led me.

When I saw the candle stop at a star fruit tree this time. Again I found an envelope tied to a tree branch. I quickly picked up the envelope and looked at its contents.

Just like before, I came back to find a photo. Photo when Raefal and I were eating together at a sky dining restaurant. I was holding a bouquet of red roses with Raefal who was smiling broadly beside me. Our faces are pressed against each other in this photo, looking happy, looking like a couple in love.

I turned the photo over, I found Raefal's writing on the back of the photo like before.

‘THIS TIME YOU ARE AGAIN TO SEE THE FACE OF A MAN WHO IS RELIEVED BECAUSE HIS STATEMENT OF LOVE WAS RECEIVED.’

I chuckled, yeah right... when we took this photo it was the day we officially started dating.

I still have some candles to follow. I guess those were the last candles because after that I saw no more light.

I also walked back to follow the candle and stopped walking right at the last candle. I found an envelope lying lonely on the grass. I rushed to open the envelope, and can not wait to see its contents.

This time I found no photos in the envelope, only a piece of paper on which Raefal's writing was clearly stated.

'DO YOU WANT TO SEE THE FACE OF A HAPPY MAN? IF YOU WANT IT, JUST ANSWER THIS QUESTION YES.'

After I read the text, suddenly a light blinded my eyes. The light coming from the fence wall of my backyard now stands firmly not far from me. I do not know when there are small lights installed there. The lights were off at first and now they're burning so brightly that I managed to find something extraordinary taped to the fence wall.

There was a poster-sized photo posted there. Photo of several people standing on the Great Wall of China holding some letters. Several people look familiar in the photo, I know they are Raefal's colleagues. I'm guessing they took this photo during their visit to China yesterday.

My eyes could not hold back the tears when I read the sentences that were formed from those letters.

‘WILL YOU MARRY ME?’

At that moment I ran out of my backyard. Before passing through the door, the tail of my eye caught two people who were peeking while smiling broadly. They are housekeepers and gardeners at my house. Now I know where Raefal got help to make all this madness.

I rushed to my room. I grabbed my phone and you can already guess what I did after that, right? As you can see that now I am the legal wife of Raefal Shahreza.

“Mom ... Mom ... Mommy!!”

I gasped in utter shock. The shrill voice of my son who screamed brought my consciousness that was wandering into the past and finally back to the present.

I chuckled when I found my son sulking with his eyebrows furrowed sharply, reminding me of Raefal. Raffa is indeed a duplicate of my husband, they are very similar.

"Why, dear?" I asked as I gently stroked his eyebrows so that the frown disappeared.

"Mommy daydream huh?" he asked.

"No. Mommy doesn't daydream."

"Lie! The proof is that I called earlier and there was no answer. Yes, right, sir?"

I turned to the taxi driver that Raffa was talking to. Smiling clumsily found Mr. Driver smiling at me.

"We have arrived, ma'am," said the driver.

I looked to the side, and sure enough... the five-story building which was the office where my husband worked, now stood towering in front of me.

"Yes sir. Thank you," I said.

I paid our fare and hurried out of the taxi. I reached out to help Raffa get out of the taxi.

My gaze is now fully fixed on my husband's office. The starting place of my investigation is to prove whether is it true that my romantic husband is cheating behind my back.
