Will You Marry Me?

"You are like a flower on the edge of a cliff, very beautiful but difficult to reach. Forcing to touch it, is the same as dying. And that is also what will happen to a man who wants to touch you."

"Don't make me a flower like that or yourself can die from smelling my scent."

City B International Airport

On the runway, you could see a plane ready to take off as schedule heading to Australia. The crew had finished all the pre-flight preparations and the cabin door was closed. Samuel and Evelyn were also settled into their seat next to each other. As usual, Samuel took the bussiness class, and this made it easier for Samuel to carry out activities without worrying about being seen by others. One of his activity was make Evelyn feeling annoyed who currently focused with her ears.

"Seriously, is this your first time on a plane?" Samuel asked with an amused expression.

"Let me see which one of your ear is buzzing. Show it to me!" Samuel continued and pretended to be innocent.

" Do you think I'm stupid? The buzzing ears can't be seen, they can only be felt!" Evelyn replied irritably.

"Are you trying to take opportunities in this situation ?" Evelyn continued angrily.

She understood what the meaning of his boss' words, who currently chuckled when she was busy holding her ear, which was really buzzing.

"Ha ha ha!"

"Uh ..."

Samuel laughed even more loudly, when he saw his assistant's annoyed face. Then he reached into his coat pocket and gave Evelyn a piece of gum.

"What for?" Evelyn asked confused.

"Chewing gum can reduce the effect of buzzing, due to the difference in air pressure in the aircraft cabin. Try it, if it doesn't work, you can kiss me without me responding!" Samuel said casually.

"And what if it works?" Evelyn asked quickly.

"I'll be the one who kiss you. It's fair right?" Samuel replied with a relaxed face.

Plaque!

"Argh !!!"

"You wish. You will be lucky and I'll lose a lot. Huh, are you thinking to fool me again?" Evelyn said irritably.

She hit Samuel's shoulder hard, so that Samuel gave a slight sore cry.

"Why did you hit? It's more exciting-

"What?" Evelyn interrupted quickly.

"Geez, you are so fierce, but it looks so sweet to me!" Samuel exclaimed teasingly.

Evelyn didn't answer, instead she just looked away with her mouth chewing gum bars.

"Huh ... playboy," Evelyn muttered quietly.

Samuel chuckled when he saw Evelyn chewing the gum and occasionally rubbing her ears.

"Still buzzing?" Samuel asked worriedly.

He looked at Evelyn, then helped her rub her right ear.

Deg!

"How is it?" Samuel asked again when he did not hear Evelyn's reply.

"Lyn?" Samuel called.

"D-don't touch me where ever you like. Hush...hush, we are not Muhrim!" Evelyn said nervously.

She dismissed Samuel's hand that was on her ear. Instantly her face heated up, when she felt Samuel's warm skin on her ears. If it was only a light touch maybe she could still able to hold back, but not when Samuel's hand rubbed her ears repeatedly, she felt suddenly a sting.

"We are not Muhrim? Well, we could be if you are willing to marry me, but earlier when I asked you, you said, you did not want to marry me," Samuel said teasingly and looked at Evelyn with his lopsided smile.

"What? When?" Evelyn asked quickly.

She immediately closed her mouth in shock, even her eyes bulged as Samuel chuckled.

"If I ask you now, will you marry me?" Samuel asked back with a smile.

"Huh...You are crazy!"

"Ha-ha, so now, am I crazy? I ask you, so that we could be Muhrim. You complained that we are not yet Muhrim, and when I want us to be Muhrim, you said I am crazy. Huh you woman, what do you really want?" Samuel said and pretended to be innocent.

"Huh, you should just take one of your woman. So you can play with her without having to remember the boundaries. Isn't it good to play with the label halal?" Evelyn replied with a sneer.

"But I only want you, how about it?" Samuel said quickly.

"..."

"Why are you silent? What if I say, I want to be serious with you. Heum?" Samuel asked seriously.

Evelyn looked at Samuel with a strange expression, as if Samuel was an extraterrestrial who got lost on earth.

"There are still about 8 hours of flight, let me take a nap Sam. I feel my hearing is a little disturbed, so I did not hear exactly what you said," Evelyn replied evasively.

Suddenly it became a very sensitive discussion, if she continued with this debate she would sure fall into her own words.

"Ok ... Have some rest. I will wake you up when it's meal time." Samuel said relently because he knew that not everyone would be all right, when he tasted their first flight.

One hour later

Evelyn woke up after blinking her eyes briefly. She glanced to her side, where there was her boss who was focused on his business magazine. She looked closely at a man who suddenly tried to enter her life.

"I admit, you are handsome, but for now I still can't, not only because you are a player. But I also don't want to hurt my best friend," Evelyn thought hesitantly.

"Are you wake up?" Samuel asked suddenly, making Evelyn startled and quickly looked away.

She pretended to yawn so as not to suspect that she was watching her boss.

"Hoam .... Uh, I'm still sleepy!" Evelyn pretended to mutter.

"Still sleepy? Well, Go back to sleep!" Samuel said with holding back a smile.

Funny with the pretense attitude of his assistant, even though he knew that he was being watched.

"No, I want to wash my face," Evelyn replied.

She immediately got up from her seat, then walked to the bathroom without knowing if Samuel smiled faintly seeing her.

"If I say thay you're a woman who is different from other women, but you are the same like her. Would you believe it, Lyn?" Samuel muttered softly.

How to get Evelyn to be close to him, when he knew Evelyn still couldn't open her heart for him.

"Is it because I'm a jerk or because you don't like me as a man, Lyn?" Samuel continued asking.

Skip

The ten-hour flight finally passed them smoothly, even though Samuel had to find a thousand ways to make Evelyn answered his chat, but he was satisfied that at least he could talk to Evelyn even though it ended with angry swearing.

Melbourne International Airport

After through the immigration and retrieved their luggages.

Samuel and Evelyn walked toward the arrival door and looked up for company car to pick them up. Although Evelyn felt that the atmosphere between Evelyn and her boss became awkward after their sensitive discussion on the plane, but Evelyn tried to remain professional.

She looked around with a look of amazement, when her eyes saw how luxurious the airport she was standing at the moment.

"Very cool!" Evelyn muttered in amazement.

"Just ordinary," Samuel said casually.

"Tch ... Who asked you to talk? I'm just expressing what's on my mind," Evelyn said unaccepted with an angrily tone.

Samuel chuckled, then took Evelyn's hand, who immediately protested.

"Let-

"I don't want you to be separated from me, then get lost and end up bothering me. So you just keep quiet and obey me until we get to the hotel later or no...until we get to our room later. Do you understand me, Evelyn dear?" Samuel interrupted quickly.

Without hearing her answer, he immediately dragged Evelyn, who was shuffling and tried to follow his wide steps.

"Well .... Slow down, Sam!" Evelyn exclaimed.

It seems that she did not listen to Samuel's words very carefully which were really ambiguous.

"I'll carry you then," Samuel replied teasingly.

"Samuel,"

"Ok, don't get mad." Samuel immediately followed his Evelyn's wishes, aligned his steps and walked hand in hand with his assistant, who immediately grumbled about his careless behavior.

"Don't grumble like that. Makes me want to eat you even more, Lyn!" Samuel whispered in Evelyn's ear.

"Pervert!"

"Ha-ha-ha !!"
