ARDHAM AND NADINE RINGS

"Nadine Aisyell." called Ardham affectionately when the two of them sat at the dining table for breakfast.

"Hem what?" Nadine asked, a little surprised, Ardham did not usually call his name in full.

"I thought all night about our relationship. "Ardham said a little doubtful if Nadine would not be able to fulfill his wish.

"What's with our relationship? "Nadine increasingly did not understand where Ardham was headed.

"I want to marry you as soon as possible, but you're still not ready, so..." Ardham did not continue his words.

"So what? "Cut Nadine with a complicated look.

"I want us to get engaged, I want to tie you up with a ring. As a sign you are mine. What do you think? "Asked Ardham a little choked up. Her small eyes glanced at Nadine's flushed face.

"I guess...it doesn't need Dham. That's not enough for us, when we have each other and love each other." Nadine said a little afraid, otherwise Ardham will misunderstand again.

Ardham massaged his temples, already very familiar with Nadine's answer, which must be like that. Always refusing to get into more serious relationships. I don't know for what reason.

Ardham took a deep breath, without another word Ardham stopped breakfast. Moving from his chair, walked past Nadine with unsteady steps toward his study.

Do not know why, Nadine did not want to understand his wish. Ardham wants to make Nadine an important person in his life. Honestly Ardham was afraid of losing Nadine, afraid that one day Nadine will turn away from him. Because there were so many more attractive and handsome men around Nadine who liked Nadine.

Nadine, who was still sitting at the dining table, felt her heart ache, for Nadine it was enough her heart was happy to have Ardham's heart and love for her so much. There is a reason why Nadine subtly refuses Ardham's wishes. The reason is Anna.

Anna still loves Ardham very much. And that Nadine knew herself, when he saw and heard Anna crying sadly in his room calling out Ardham's name and expressing all the disappointment in his heart.

Nadine felt what Anna felt, because Nadine has been feeling it for seven years, how it feels like a broken heart.

Now guilt hits Nadine for having failed Ardham again.

Nadine saw that the glass of milk was still intact on the table. Because he was very disappointed, Ardham had not had time to drink the milk. Slowly Nadine got up from her chair, grabbed the glass of milk and led it to Ardham's study.

Ardham's study was unlocked when Nadine opened it. He saw Ardham standing in front of the window, his eyes empty.

"I have hurt the heart of the people I love? What can i do now?" Nadine exhaled violently, releasing all the tightness in her chest.

After putting the drinks on the table, Without issuing a voice Nadine approached Ardham who was still daydreaming with a distant view who saw what.

With a feeling of guilt, Nadine's hand hugged Ardham's waist from behind.

Ardham looked a little surprised when Nadine's soft hands touched and hugged his waist tightly, Ardham let the hug in silence, only Nadine's breath was felt to hit his skin.

A moment of silence, Nadine feels a sense of loss, losing Ardham's spoiled and stubborn demeanor.

Nadine tightly hugged Ardham's waist and put her head inside Ardham's sturdy back, felt comfortable and very soothing.

"I love you very much Dham, never doubt my feelings for you. "Said Nadine in a low voice, with her eyes closed.

Ardham's heart was even more hurt by Nadine's sweet words but turned away from the reality, where Nadine had twice refused his wish.

Ardham's body turned around, staring into Nadine's sad eyes.

"How can I not hesitate Nad, if you always reject my wish to make our relationship serious? Are you just playing with my feelings? "Ardham said weakly.

Nadine returned Ardham's gaze with growing guilt.

"What are you saying Dham? Don't ever talk like that again dear. "Said Nadine cupping Ardham's sad face.

"What should I do Nad, I don't want to lose you. I want everyone to know you are mine. Only mine. "Said Ardham in a voice full of pressure.

"Is my wish too heavy for you Nad? "Asked Ardham again sadly.

"It's not hard at all Dham, I'm really very happy with all your wishes. But now is not the right time, "explained Nadine by taking Ardham's hands and kissing them softly.

"Not the right time how? Just tell me if you don't want to be engaged to me? "Ardham asked, still trying to achieve his wish with an annoyed face. Nadine could not bear to see Ar's handsome face.

"Alright Dham, I want to get engaged to you. But there are conditions, "said Nadine, finally accepting Ardham's wish.

"What are the conditions? "The doubt came back in Ardham's heart.

"I want to be engaged to you, as long as only we know. You can buy me a ring, and I promise to wear it. But our rings have to be different, you can engrave our names on the rings. How about Dham? "Asked Nadine seriously.

"Why should our rings be different Nad? I want our rings to be the same, so everyone will know that we are both engaged. " Ardham said while keeping his wish so that all of Nadine's male friends knew that Nadine was only hers.

"Now you just have to choose Dham, we are engaged but on my condition or we don't have a fiance at all! "Said Nadine's voice.

"Okay, I give in. "Said Ardham with a long sigh.

"You're very smart now Nad, already know how to control me. "

"Come on honey, there's no telling who's good at controlling. we both control each other dear, for the good of us both. "said Nadine, rubbing Ardham's lower lip with her thumb.

Nadine knows Ardham's weakness from just his touch.

Ardham took Nadine's fingers lightly on his lips, then kissed them gently.

"Okay, Nad, now get some rest, tonight we'll have dinner outside and we are engaged. I want to go for a moment to prepare our ring. "Ardham said softly as he kissed Nadine's forehead.

Nadine's eyes were rounded beautifully, with her mouth slightly open in disbelief at Ardham's always one-sided decision.

"Tonight? engaged? what the hell? "shouted Nadine in disbelief.

***

In a less crowded cafe. Nadine sat on the sofa very casually, while enjoying a glass of avocado juice.

Beside him Ardham sat with a slightly mournful face . The dream that will invite Nadine to dinner at a five-star hotel has now disappeared.

Ardham looked around the cafe. There were several teenage couples who looked very affectionate with their casual appearance.

As for him? age is no longer a teenager, especially with his appearance that looks official in a suit too.

Really Nadine has made him a slave to true love so easily brought him here.

"Dham. "Called Nadine, breaking Ardham's confession to himself.

"Hm. "Ardham replied briefly, still with a grim face.

"Why are you so quiet? he said just fine we had dinner here? Now why is that gloomy?" said Nadine, holding Ardham's chin and staring at him closely.

"I can't stay here long Nad, "complained Ardham.

"Look at those here, the average age is you. And the way they dress is different from what I wear. "Ardham said while showing his coat.

Nadine only smiled a little.

"I'm sorry Dham, it's not like I don't want to have dinner at a five-star hotel. I'm just not used to going to five-star hotels or I dress like official daughters. I'm not used to it at all, "said Nadine explaining how she really is.

"And I've never been to a place like Nad at all? How can I adjust myself? "protested Ardham who felt uncomfortable in the cafe.

"It's okay if you feel tortured and uncomfortable. Let us go home." Nadine replied as she put down the juice and stood up.

Ardham's guts shrank at the irritation on Nadine's face.

"Why should Nad come home? I just said that I can't adjust myself. not asking to go home, "said Ardham trying to calm Nadine

"Come on ... sit down again, embarrassed to see people." Ardham continued, pulling Nadine's hand to sit back down.

Nadine sat back down with a smile on the corners of her lips.

"Dham where's the ring? he says we have fiance tonight?" Nadine asked, reminding Ardham of his goal. Ardham tapped his forehead almost forgetting his aim.

Ardham quickly took out the ring box from the pocket of his pants.

"Look at Nad, I hope you like it." Ardham said giving the ring box to Nadine.

Nadine opened the ring box with a slightly trembling hand. Nadine's eyes filled with tears when she saw the shape of the ring with a name written on it Ardham.

This ring shape is the ring he wanted when he was a teenager, who had seen Ardham from a famous magazine. "Blue eyed ring"

Nadine looked at Ardham with tears in her eyes.

"Dham, this is the ring shape that I ever showed you? "
