Home is a mandatory residence for every human being, where the time spent by everyone is most at home with a beloved family. Home is also a place where we take shelter from the disturbances that threaten us such as rain, heat, threats from wild animals, threats from criminals.
Everyone has dreams of wanting a dream home, and so do I.
"Did you remember the day you told me how your dream home was?" Ask Andreas.
I thought for a moment and began to remember that day. Kala Andreas took me to the playground and we both went into the room where a replica display of a kingdom with other residents.
I told Andreas that my dream home is where the house is located in a cool area, full of natural scenery and in the spacious front yard there is an artificial fountain where there is also a fish pond there.
And today, Andreas took me to a house exactly as I dreamed it would be.
"Whose house is this?" My toot.
"My house, and it will be our home." Answer Andreas.
This house is minimalist but modern design, seen from the front of the house looks very sturdy and luxurious. The front door is large and modern design today, not too many windows are displayed but this house is dominant with clear glass.
Andreas took my hand into the house. I was so impressed with every detail. When I entered the house, I was greeted with a spacious room, looking like a European-style chair, a floor made of marble, there is also a large flower vase and the walls are decorated with wall hangings, classic wall clocks and various frames.
"Hey... Welcome to." Angelica's figure splashed in my arms. "Let's get here fast. I'll show you all the rooms in your dream house." Angelica took my hand.
"Slowly. Don't let my future wife get hurt." Andreas shouted as Angelica pulled my hand to walk quickly.
"Just calm down." Shouts Angelica.
Angelica took me to the living room where there was a sofa to watch television and gather with the family. In the corner of the room there is a closet that contains a collection of antique objects, in the other corner looks like a modern-style staircase with a rectangular block arrangement of processed wood. I looked up and saw a beautiful array of lights like the lights in a 5-star hotel.
'This house sure looks luxurious at night.' I thought.
"Do you like Velicia's sister-in-law?" Angelica said in a seductive tone.
I just smiled back at her teasing words.
"This is not how much. Let's look to the side of the house." Take Angelica back to pull my hand.
From the living room Angelica took me to the side of the house. There is a spacious swimming pool equipped with a place to relax made of selected wood but modern design.
Angelica took me to sit by the pool. While playing the water with our feet, we started chatting lightly.
"Thank you for making Brother Andreas smile again." Angelica is serious. "Since you've been willing to be in a relationship and even accepted her proposal, Brother Andreas has become more cheerful. Different from the last 3 years." Angelica.
"Do you mind my relationship with Andreas?" My toot.
"Why should I mind? As long as Brother Andreas is happy, I'm happy too." Answer Angelica.
"Your relationship with Arnold looks good, just as good as it was with Andreas. Aren't you...."
"As a sister, I can only wish my two brothers the best. Brother Arnold is kind to me and also dear to me. I don't discriminate with Brother Andreas either. It's just that maybe because I'm more with Brother Andreas, so I know very well how Brother Andreas. Actually, whoever you marry, be it Brother Andreas or Arnold, I'll agree. But, I also know how long Brother Arnold treated you. I think he can change to leave Viona and love you. But he always hurt you. Until I prefer you to be with Brother Andreas. Brother Andreas has loved you for a long time." Angelica said at length.
"If I may know. Since when do you guys live in this house?" Ask again.
"Sister Andreas has been designing this house since he was abroad. She tells Mama that this house will be her wedding gift to the woman she loves. And we never knew that that woman was you. However, ever since he came back from abroad and you married Brother Arnold I just found out that you are the woman he loves. Brother Andreas just told me. The house was finished when he returned from abroad. But, he came back again and told me to calm down." Answer Angelica.
I fell silent, so deep in the love that Andreas had shown me. God has not allowed us to be together. But this time, no matter what happens I should be able to unite with Andreas.
"Do you want to look around again?" Ask Angelica.
"You better tell me about this house." My reply.
"alright. In this house there are 4 bedrooms. Where 2 bedrooms are located on the ground floor and 2 others are located on the top floor. For 2 rooms on the ground floor it is a room for guests and the only room is Brother Andreas. He said that if you are pregnant, it will not be difficult if you have to go up and down if your room is upstairs. For the room on the upper floor he said to the children's room Kak Andreas later. Each room is also equipped with a bathroom in which there is a sink. In addition to the bedroom on the upper floor there is also a room to gather out, and there is also a terrace to relax and enjoy the view." Angelica.
'Child!'
That's what I can't fulfill as Andrew's wife. But, he already knew everything. So I don't have to worry about that anymore. Our goal is not to get married because we have to have children. It's all because we love each other and want to live together to age together.
"Hey, why daydream?" Ask Angelica.
I just shook my head slowly. Then, Andreas came with a tray containing three glasses of strawberry juice, guava juice, and avocado juice.
"Let's drink." Andreas said as he sat beside me.
I chose guava juice, while Angelica chose strawberry juice and the rest was taken Andreas.
"That's fresh. Who's making it?" My toot.
"Sister Andreas." Answer Angelica.
I looked at Andreas in disbelief.
"Why? Can't believe?" Ask Andreas.
"It's not just good at making juice and other drinks. Brother Andreas is also a cook." Praise Angelica.
"Oh yeah!" Excruciate. "Means I don't have to worry about cooking when I'm married." My speech.
"of course. You just have to sit sweet and always love me." Reply Andreas.
"Huuu gumbal." Cheers Angelica.
The three of us laughed and continued our conversation.
"Oh yeah, I'm doing more about this house." Angelica. "In the corner of the top floor there is a room that is special for Kak Andreas to work and complete his work. I was never allowed into that room. I don't know why, I don't know either." Angelica. "Back to ground floor. In the corner near the family room there is a kitchen room, where there is a dining table with chairs.
In the backyard there is also a large courtyard. Where when looking on the left side there are beautiful ornamental plants, looking on the right side there is a small pond for fish that is also equipped with a shower. Next in the middle of the yard are arranged blocks of stone shaped like a round wood as a way to go to a seat made of processed wood as a place to relax." Angelica explained very carefully.
"Very." My reply.
"Oh yes, if you are married later. I can still live in this house, right?" Ask Angelica.
"Of course.."
"No."
Andreas and I answered with different answers.
"Why does Andreas disagree? Velicia's sister just agreed I'd stay here." Angelica Protest.
"You're gonna be a bully." Reply Andreas.
"I promise I won't interfere." Whine Angelica.
"No..." Andreas remained in his stance.
"Let him stay with us. Besides, I'll have a chat buddy if there's him if you have to get out of town for a job." My speech.
"Yeeaaayy.... I love you, Velicia." Angelica said excitedly as she hugged me tightly.
"Easy-after. Quickly release your brother-in-law. He can be short of breath because of your embrace." Andreas Said.
Angelica seemed forced to let go of her embrace to me. I could only laugh seeing his expression.
"Why pout. Oh yeah, don't you have a schedule to meet with your lecturer today?" Ask Andreas.
"Yes God. Why I forgot." Said Angelica while patting her eel. "I'm leaving now, brother. See you, brother-in-law." Shouts of Angelica running into the house.
"Always so." Andreas Said.
I just shook my head. Honestly speaking, seeing the closeness between these two sisters made me feel a little envious. If only I had a brother or sister who was always with me. Maybe I won't be too lonely.
I have Jack as my brother. But he can't always be with me. He also has his own life. Own family. Even so, I'm sure Jack always loved me like his own real brother.
"Lately you've been daydreaming. You're so different from the little girl I used to know. What else is going on in your heart?" Ask Andreas.
"none. What does it look different to me?" I reply back to ask.
"I'm sorry if my words offended you. You used to be such a strong little girl. You are so confident and the main thing is that you are not a weak girl. However, now I see you becoming a desperate girl. You're so weak and...."
"I know." I interrupted Andreas' words. "Since I found out I had cancer, I've been a weak human being. Moreover, God gave me a test that is so endless. But, I finally realized that I had to get up and be myself as I used to be. I have to be strong and confident. I have to accept the fate God gave me. God gave me happiness by presenting you. Thank you for accepting me for who I am." I said with a fixed look at Andreas.
"Because I love you." Andreas said, kissing the back of my hand. "Now, come with me. I have something I want to show you." Andreas.
I walked along in Andreas' footsteps. His hands clasped my hands so tightly as we stepped towards the top floor. Like he wouldn't let me fall.
My eyes looked at every room I passed. Just like Angelica said. The girl really told me every detail. Andreas took me to a room that Angelica said was Andreas's workspace as well as a mysterious room.
"Didn't you allow anyone to come in but you?" My toot.
"You're including the exception." Reply Andreas smiled. "Let's go in." After opening the door.
The room is so dark. Not a single light came in. Then everything was clear when Andreas turned on the lights. My eyes were perfectly rounded when I looked at the entire room. My hands shut my gaping mouth. Slowly I walked closer to the wall, where there were various sizes of frames attached to the wall.
All the walls are filled with my frame. And at the bottom of each picture I have the date of the shooting. There were so many pictures of me that were taken at random.
I focused on the image of myself sitting on the beach alone staring at the vast ocean. It says the date I found out I had cancer. And there are many other images that are easy to display. Even the picture a few years before I decided to marry Arnold was on the wall.
My tears are shed. I was so moved to see all this. How deep is the love of the man I am with right now?
It seemed Andreas realized I was crying, even though I turned my back on him. Andreas came up and hugged me from behind.
"Why crying?" Andreas asked as he placed his chin on my shoulder.
"I'm just overwhelmed and happy. How can you get all these pictures? While you've always been abroad." My toot.
"I lost touch with my family, especially Papa. But, I always ask a friend to monitor your situation. I never thought you'd marry Arnold because there was never any news of closeness between the two of you." Answer Andreas.
It's true, I never met Arnold before. Our marriage was indeed me who decided when the Great Lord Setyawan brought me the photo that I thought was Andreas until I immediately agreed to get married.
Arnold met me once before the wedding. That is, when he proposed to me on the beach. And that day was the most important and happy day of my life. Because I did think that Arnold was Andreas.
'Ah, let alone remembering it.'
"Little girl. I hope you won't be moved by the gift Arnold gave you on the eve of your birthday party. Because I have more pictures of you than he does. And the picture I have is even more detailed because it has a date of retrieval and even a lot and also the acquisition has been since a few years ago." Andreas said as he hugged me tighter.
'Oh it turns out he was jealous of what Arnold gave me.'
"If one day Arnold wants to give me everything he has. What are you gonna give me?" I tried to tease her while stroking her cheek gently.
Andreas suddenly twisted my body and held my chin to look at him.
"I can give you life...."
I immediately closed his mouth by kissing his lips. For the first time I acted aggressively towards Andreas. I hope he doesn't think I'm over.
"Don't say it again. I believe you." My speech.
"I love you." Reply Andreas while kissing me back.
Seriate.....
