7 Days With Althara

Be romantic

That night Althara was given permission to return to Jakarta. And all night we didn't stop the phone until I fell asleep.

In the morning, I opened my eyes in the room, I was still in a daze looking around this strange but familiar me. Usually I wake up in front of my bedroom window in Jakarta, now I wake up in a spacious room and so many star ornaments around it. I woke up like I was reborn in High School.

It's the javu back, I remember the last time I woke up and couldn't contact Althara. Suddenly I panicked, my life was filled to the brim with all that in mind, I immediately looked for my phone on the bed, I saw my phone and there was no notification from it,then I quickly looked for Althara's contact and called her.

The number you are calling is busy please….

Again, Althara's number is off. I called him back and he was still inactive.

Suddenly I panicked, I thought back to the events of 6 years ago when I was abandoned by him just like that. I was overthinking, did Althara deliberately send me back to Bandung because she was going back to Germany and left me. As soon as my heart was pounding violently, fear instantly haunted me. The negative thoughts were spinning in my brain. Then the sound of a car into the garage of the house, I glanced out the window, although invisible but the sound of the car was so clearly heard into the garage of the house.

I quickly got out of the room, ran down the stairs. Bi Inah who was in the kitchen was astonished to see me who was so panicked and hurried.

“Non Alhena what is it?” Ask her when I just pass her by.

I kept running towards the living room and opened the door wide.

Althara stood at the door with a black t-shirt and blue salted egg jeans. He was just about to stomp the bell when I opened the door. He was surprised to see me still wearing an oversize suit of ashes, shorts, untied hair, and with a face so panicked.

“Why you?” Tanya was worried about Althara.

I immediately hugged her making sure that this was not a dream, and Althara was still in front of me. I hugged her so tightly that it removed the fear that was haunting me.

“Alhena why are you sweating” said Althara holding my arm.

“You sick?” Her question let go of my embrace.

I forced her back to embrace him.

Bi Inah looked at the living room with worry.

“Why you? Why are you scared? You're having nightmares?” He asked again, but I was reluctant to answer.

“Alhena let's not scare me”

Then I let go of her embrace and looked at her with annoyance, my eyes started to water feeling relieved yet I felt sad as well.

“You scared me!” My words astonished Althara to see me so upset.

“Why are you not active?” Ask me.

“I forgot my hp charge, charger left at home, I just pinjem to you”

“Why early in the morning ga ngabarin me first!” I said with still upset.

Althara still looks confused.

“I'm sorry” said her who can only give up even though she does not understand me who is not usually as possessive as this.

“You can not say again rich so Al, you can not make me panic, you can not matain hp you,”

Finally Althara understood my fear, she let out her sigh looking at me which was filled with her worry.

“You must be able to call me, you must keep me informed, you must always be there for me, anyway you can not say again, I gamau.”.

then Althara hugged me gently and stroked my back.

“It’s Oke” her words continue to calm me down.

Her embrace was so warm and soothing that it instantly made me comfortable in her arms.

“I'm here. I'm not going to go again”

There were footsteps behind me, but he didn't make a sound. It was Mama who just joined Bi Inah, maybe Mama asked why I was running around and why me and Althara were chatting on the doorstep. Then Bi Inah explained to Mama what happened.

Althara let go of her embrace and holding both of my wet cheeks with my cry, she revealed the hair blocking my face to the back of the ears.

“I'm sorry my phone died. I promise I won't make you worry again, I also promise I will continue there for you”

I nodded my head which was beginning to calm down.

“Log ya”

Take Althara by holding my waist and one hand dragging her suitcase, we approached Mama and Bi Inah who still looked worried and confused looking at me.

“Hallo Ma” greet Althara.

Mama didn't mention my situation at all, because she knew that I had calmed down like this I didn't want to talk about it.

“Hay Althara, how was the trip?”

“Current Ma” replied Althara with a smile.

“Papa have gone to work?”

“Udah. Later in the afternoon he has an appointment to see you, right?” My mother reminded.

“Iya Ma” reply Althara.

I was still standing beside Althara in silence.

“You go to the bathroom first, and change clothes, accompany Althara breakfast” pinta Mama with sweet while caressing my arms.

I still looked scared but I looked at Althara to make sure she wasn't going anywhere.

“I wait in the dining room” said Althara assured me.

I nodded my head and walked towards my room upstairs.

“Mama wants to talk” Mama told Althara.

“Good Ma”

Then Althara followed Mama to the living room that was right near the stairs, while making sure I had not left the room.

They both sat there.

“Althara. This is the first time Mama Liat Alhena like this”

Any more?

Ask Althara in my heart.

“Udah long enough Mama never saw Alhena as sweet as this and as scared as this. When Alhena lived in you first, Alhena became shy, quiet and sometimes like to look sad to hide in the room”

“Alhena never suddenly cry in the room and seem to panic really check her hp check, hp, even several times he had woken up and was afraid to look out the window and check his cell phone continuously try to contact you”

Althara looks so guilty hearing me turn out to be that bad.

“Every mommy likes Nemenin Alhena in the room, but she always suddenly panicked and sad rich so then she cried. Mama does not know if she is still rich gini even though I have met you”

“I don't know it turned out that bad Alhena used to be?” Althara said still pensively regretting all his actions.

“I'm sorry. But earlier maybe because he tried to contact me and hp I died Ma he was so afraid I go again”

Mama held gently on Althara's shoulder.

“Nak. You won't stay in Alhena again right?” Tanya Maka who is also afraid of her only child back depressed.

“Mama can not see Alhena sad again rich that. She loves you so much, she richly can't live without you”

Althara took Mama's hand on her shoulder and grasped her like she was grasping her Mother's hand to be able to trust her.

“Mah. I promise you, I will always be there for Alhena, and I will make amends for all my mistakes all along with you guys. I promise I will continue to exist for Alhena” Althara said with confidence.

After I took a shower and changed my clothes, I looked at myself in the mirror and recalled the incident that had just happened.

Why did I get that sweet and that scared when I woke up earlier, I regretted my actions, and I regretted my nature that had scolded Althara like that to make Althara confused.

I was so embarrassed to go downstairs and meet him, but I had to accompany him to breakfast I was afraid he was angry.

I had to get out of the room and meet Althara and Mama who was sitting at the dinner table.

“Hay” greet Althara with sweet.

“Hay” reply to me who is already much better and more aware.

“Beauty” greet Mama as if nothing happened earlier.

“Sit, accompany Althara breakfast”

I nodded and walked to Althara's side then sat down on her chair.

Althara and I immediately ate our breakfast on the table. I glanced at Althara and Mama who were acting normal as if nothing had happened to me, even I saw Bi Inah who was providing juice for me looking so calm, though Bi Inah witnessed for herself how scared I was. Maybe they don't want to make me uncomfortable.

We began to eat fried rice and side dishes with this calmly.

“Oh Yes Althara. Where are you taking your suitcase?” Ask Mom in between our breakfast.

“I want to move to my old house Mah”

“O yes?” Mom asked so happy to hear it.

“Yesterday I was with Alhena cleaning her house, and now Mommy herself asked me to occupy the house”

Mama smiled again, but not with me pretending to focus on eating. I know they're glancing at me but I'm trying to ignore them.

“You want to go there now?” Ask Mama again.

I immediately glanced at Althara quickly and stared at her sharply.

“Why ? From earlier you just diem, you are sick right?” As if she didn't know what was going on with me.

“I..” answered me who started talking but looked awkward.

“I'm fine, I'm healthy, I want to come with you” said I clumsily without seeing his face, and returned to the plate in front of me.

Althara smiled.

“Ya already, finished your breakfast also stocked with clothes yes I want to take you for a walk”

I looked at Althara then looked at my fine-looking clothes with a plain brownie shirt and chestnut-colored pants.

“Why is this shirt?” Ask me if I'm in the wrong costume.

“Ga nothing, but I want you to change clothes wearing thick clothes, today want to test the problem”

I turned my head, looked out the window and saw the bright morning sun shining on my yard. I did not deny it, because I was afraid that if Althara was right it would rain, then I glanced back at Althara silently.

“Oke” answer me finally.

After breakfast we say goodbye to Mother and immediately run the car to Althara's old house. Along the way I was still stiffly silent because it was awkward, but Althara was not bothered by my attitude, she understood me and let me continue to be silent like this.

After he dropped his suitcase and brought my bag of clothes. He brought her into his room.

I helped Althara fold her clothes and put them in her black wardrobe.

I'm getting warm back. I started talking to him, and I even started bringing him back.

“This is hanging?” Ask me while showing her shirt.

“Iya” answer her briefly.

“This is no TV you are not lonely?” I asked him to look around Althara, who had no electronics at all but a cell phone.

“Later malem furniture new I came” answered him while taking out the laptop in his carry bag.

“Which is new?” Ask me.

“Why are you in Jakarta brought?” Ask me again.

“I will not change my room position in Jakarta. Let me later if I go home the position of the room is still rich so”

I nodded my head.

Yes it is so like my room in Bandung, Mama did not reduce the things in my room at all, so when I came home, I felt really home.

After finishing her clothes and room. Althara dabbled her waist and glanced around.

“You like the same paint?” Althara asked for my assessment.

I looked at the walls of his room with a careful investigation.

“Like. White color makes your room so spacious, just need to be repainted aja” replied me.

Althara nodded.

“What's less in my room than TV?” Ask her again.

“What yes?” I'm trying to think.

“Towel hangers maybe, because you often keep your towel clean shower where is it?” I asked him to remember something annoying about him.

Althara laughing.

“Aparticularly?” Ask her again.

“Udah may”

“In your room no makeup table?” Ask Althara who when she knew the contents of my room there was a pale tosca-colored dressing table.

“Ya. Time in the room you want at the dresser too?”

Althara shrugged her shoulders making me confused again.

“Change your clothes” pinta Althara while she also undress her.

“Why?”

“We go for a walk”

“Where?”

“Milky way” replied Althara making my eyes round so happy.

Then I brought my bag of clothes into the bathroom.

I changed my position to wear yellow-faded oversize knitting material, and thicker jogger pants in baby denim. Althara wears a black inner shirt and combined with a brown outer box shirt, she also wears black jeans. He's so handsome by wearing his casual clothes.

We get to the Milky Way at exactly 19:00 p.m., when the city lights are already scattered down there.

I've always been fascinated by her beauty.

“You miss this mood?” Ask Althara.

“Of course” said me happily. Althara took me to sit at the table that we used to sit at. Right at the end of the ravine and across the iron fence.

The table and chair looked different. Her table was round in shape there was a small candle inside the glass and there was a flower vase-like decoration beside her. I frowned my forehead.

“Waw” says I'm amazed.

“The new look of milky way is so different yes, kok tonight is rich more romantic”, I told Althara.

Althara just smiled.

“You remember we used to be here and we talked about bintang”, Althara reminded me of our conversation before she left.

“Ya and after that you lost” my ledek looked at her annoyed.

“Alhena” Althara stares at me cynically. It was as if he did not want to discuss the mistake.

“OK, I'm sorry” said I fearfully.

“You remember we told you about Dhruva or more familiar with polaris?”

“Ya” answer me so clearly.

“That star never went anywhere and will be the axis for every star that circled his”, Althara explained again.

“I know it's Althara” ketus me with a little smile.

“I want to thank you Alhena because you already want to be Drhuva for me. I am always around you, I go around but you never go where, you are always there and remain the axis for me” Althara said so make me happy.

He grabbed my hand and clasped it on the table.

“From the first time you always asked me, what do I want right ? And I always answer that if I just want you, I just need you, I just want this Alhena, who loves me no matter what,and you did her” I'm starting to get sad to hear that said Althara.

“You are the star choice I want Alhena. I never want another star, I just want you” his words make me touched. My eyes began to water so flattered with her romantic remarks.

“Since the beginning I met a student named Alhena Reva Amara, I have felt that she is a special star that I have ever known. I never thought if our annoying introduction could be as fun as this. You too can make me fall in love with Alhena uncompromisingly. You can trust me too much if the affection I have for you is so sincere” your tears begin to drip and flow on the cheeks hearing all the words of Althara that touch my heart.

With all the support I kept crying happily.

“I want this star during his for me”ucap Althara.

I'm still silent I can't talk.

Althara came out of her seat, and she knelt with one leg in front of me. Althara took something out of her pants pocket. Then he thrust out a small box and he opened it in front of me. The box contained a beautiful ring that was embedded in the red foam. My eyes sparkled, staring at him still in disbelief.

“Will you marry me?” Althara looked at me expectantly.

I was still glued and silent. I can't believe he proposed to me with a romantic like this, in my favorite place with a sprinkling of stars and city lights to be his witness.

My tears are dripping down my cheeks. I nodded my head quickly, unable to hold back my tears of happiness, and my dream was finally realized to be with Althara forever.

She wrapped the ring around my ring finger, and then she smiled at me happily as well as me who was endlessly crying. She kissed my lips gently and hugged me so warmly and so tightly.

The sound of a loud explosion followed by colorful paper was shot over my head. In addition to the beautiful fireworks scattered in this dark sky make the sky more beautiful.

All my friends and Althara's friends came out of hiding and made beautiful cheers and kept lighting fireworks up in the sky.

They were so happy to see me. I looked back at Althara to say thank you with the look on my face.

Kevin, Edo and Rizal congratulate Althara on beating their chests with pride and happiness, maybe they are happy finally Althara has the courage to propose to me.

Tata, Ghea and Venna embraced me so happily. We both cried while hugging together.

“Thank ya”

“Congratulations ya Al, you finally married same Althara” said Ghea full haru.

“Gue really look lo happy” said Venna.

“We are all happy to see lo happy Al” added Tata.

I looked back at the three friends and hugged them again.
