“If I don't want to let go, then what can you do, Herlin? Now tell me if you're willing to be my wife" forced Benny, who increasingly showed such earnest interest.
"Don't be rash, Benny!" Herlin grew increasingly displeased when he thought that the man was telling a beautiful joke. Quickly pushing Benny's body, until the hug came off.
“I think your brain needs to be examined, Ben. You've taken the wrong medicine. I'd better go home tonight, and tomorrow morning I'll come in exchange for tonight. Now let me go," said Herlin suddenly taking his backpack.
Not Benny's name if he's gonna let Herlin off just like that. Although he knows all this too soon, but of course it is not too late if love has spoken.
“If you go one step from here, then I will kidnap you forever, Herlin."
"What's? Kidnap? Are you serious about this, Ben? Come on, you're a big businessman and why do you have to ask me to get married? Yeah, I know that I've become your bedmate by now, but not your aging friend, Benny. So please, don't make me put my expectations too high" argued Herlin who was still very stubborn.
Despite this, Herlin secretly craves a romantic first date as well as a beautiful proposal. Made her mind say as Benny continued to remain silent withholding his departure. “I think this despicable me is very inappropriate, even though I realize you are the first man to have taken my holy crown."
"Ben, if not more what you want to say. Then let me get out of here, please!" Herlin picked up her backpack and rushed to leave.
Not half the journey suddenly the door of the room closed automatically. Herlin was getting confused. But suddenly the lights went out completely to make Herlin feel afraid and anxious.
"Why is the power down? Benny, don't joke! I don't like the darkness, please turn on the lights now" Herlin shouted loudly.
But no one heard it until it made Herlin sit down by hugging his knees in great fear. Severe trauma when he experienced several times interference from a striped nose man made him dislike the darkness. Especially without a little light.
"Don't make me mad, Benny!" Herlin continued to yell, moreover he was confused as to which way to go. His strength began to weaken until the sound of sobbing that was only heard.
Benny slowly hugged his body from behind, and the lights suddenly came back on. But with great amazement the atmosphere of the room looks so beautiful with flower decorations and romantic lights look very attractive.
Herlin's cry slowly stopped in astonishment, he continued to stare towards his surroundings without letting go of Benny's touch who didn't want to escape a moment from him.
"What's this?" I heard a very slow question. “Like .. an application event that Romeo did for Juliet. Am I dreaming?"
"Herlin, you're not dreaming. I purposely gave you a surprise, and I'm sorry if my way was wrong for making you cry. Now come with me, there's still one surprise for you" Benny said with a smile, hoping his embrace would not be let go.
Without any rebuttal, Herlin walked up to Benny as he continued to look at all the decorations that seemed to have been very well prepared.
"Once again please forgive me for scaring you and crying. Really am! I don't know if you really don't like the dark, but instead I want you to punish me tonight, Herlin."
"Punish you? Meaning how?"
"I'll be willing to be your personal servant, Miss Herlin. However, instead marry me, Herlin."
Suddenly Benny began to kneel by showing a red box containing a diamond necklace at a very fantastic price. Make Herlin stunned, but not about the necklace, but the way Benny who tried to propose to him with enthusiasm, and he never expected before.
Without being able to get Herlin to speak, even tonight was like a dream for him. Moreover, she had never been worshiped like a princess of a king in such a way. Still reluctant to accept Benny's gift, but the man has not given up.
"I realize our first impression is not pleasant, but honest from my heart, Herlin. That night had made me think of you all night, even after the death of my late wife, I had never thought of anything like this. Never mind about other women, it feels like my life has always been about work. Really am! I'm not seducing you."
"What's the evidence if you're not seducing me right now, Benny? I know that now my position is very low for you, despite being your bed servant only, for me it is much better than to be pitied as it is now" Herlin refused frankly.
For some reason, Benny himself is not out of thought when Herlin is trying to fight against fate. Even he knew many women who tried to find an opportunity to have it, but only Herlin who frankly considered trivial.
Benny slowly closed the jewelry box as he walked back to Herlin. "You really want proof from me, Herlin? I'll take you to meet my late wife in person. Maybe after you see it, you'll realize that I don't have to show you evidence."
“What's the matter, Ben? I'm just asking for proof because after all, I'd rather be blatantly hated than loved for something. After all, my life is too complicated and despicable to be with a perfect man in everything like yourself" Herlin quickly argued.
“Alright, Herlin. If indeed you want proof, then come with me now," he asked who immediately withdrew Herlin's hand without giving time to refuse.
The two go to the room before, but there is a small room that Benny has prepared to store a memory of his past such as picture frames and others, moreover, the room has been refurbished when Benny wants to decorate the application decoration.
Suddenly Benny took the largest frame belonging to Arabella, and gave it to Herlin.
“Look carefully at his face, Herlin. Maybe you still wonder why I'm acting like this. I don't know if I'm the only one who feels like you look a lot like Arabella, but that's the fact. I love you, Herlin, just like I loved my wife. Even though I know you're not her, I don't know why I feel that fate has granted me my wish to be reunited with my wife first" Benny explained.
Still making Herlin in disbelief, it was true that his face looked very similar to Arabella. However, he knew that he never had a brother, although Arabella did not have a mole on his face, but still the resemblance was clearly visible.
“Although you know if me and him are different, then why should we get married, Benny? Isn't your love still intact for her and not for me?"
