ALINEA LOVE

57

Sora clutched her robe tightly as Moza made eye contact with Almeer before answering her question.

"Yes, she's my daughter" Moza replied.

Sora is shocked to learn that Moza already has a daughter, moreover her daughter's long name is the same as her husband's name.

"We're going to dinner, you want to join us?" ask Almeer.

"You, Oom!" scream Cloe.

"No, sweetie." Moza rejected her daughter's wishes, "we must go home soon," she continued.

"But Cloe still wants to see Oom Almeer, Cloe long time no see Oom Almeer, Ma!" whine Cloe.

"Yes, Za. You can come with us." Almeer looked at his wife, "what's up, Ra?"

Almeer's question took over Sora's memory on a piece of paper in Khadija's book that he had read.

"Yes, Al?" ask Sora.

"Moza and Cloe can join us for dinner, right?" Almeer repeated his question.

Sora looked at Moza and Cloe for a moment.

"We'll just go home, Al. Cloe can meet you next time" said Moza, just as Sora opened her mouth.

"We go home first, Al." Moza hurried away leaving Almeer and Sora.

Highlight Sora's eyes continue to follow Moza's steps until the woman disappears behind the crowd of Mall visitors.

"You don't like Moza, Ra?" ask Almeer.

Sora turned her back on her husband, "well, Al. I didn't know I was hating her or me .." Sora stopped saying.

"Why?" ask Almeer.

Sora shook his head, "eat yuk, Al. I'm a really big laper ...." He rubbed his stomach.

Almeer nodded and the two of them continued their steps towards the foodcourt. Once there, they immediately chose food and drink and looked for an empty seat.

"I know what you're thinking, Ra." Almeer pulled Sora's hand and clasped it.

Sora just stood still and lowered his head.

"Do you want me to explain, or do you ask me?" ask Almeer.

Sora lifted his head and looked at Almeer, "let me ask, Al." Said Sora.

Almeer.

"You don't have a blood relationship with Cloe, do you?" ask Sora.

Almeer shook her head, "not at all, Sora. You're the only woman I touch. If you doubt me, I swear."

"I believe you, Al."

"I'm ready to answer your question again, Sora."

"Why does it have to have your name in Cloe's name?"

Almeer shook his head, "i can't answer that, I've never asked Moza, '" Almeer replied.

"Moza loves you?" sora cecar.

Almeer nodded, he felt Sora's hands clenched tightly when he got his answer. "Then, Ra ...," he said.

"Cloe looks close to you, Al?"

"Cloe lives in Jogja, I see her often."

"Included, Moza?"

Almeer shook his head, "Moza lives in Malang, Ra."

Sora was silent for a moment. Although Almeer had answered all his questions, somehow his mind had not felt relieved.

"Moza's a single panrent?" ask Sora again.

Almeer nodded, "yes, Ra. But I can't tell you why,"

"Why?"

"I don't have the right to tell anyone else, Ra."

"I'm your wife,"

Almeer smiled then shook her head and patted the back of Sora's hand to accept her decision.

"Excuse me ...,"

A waiter came to deliver their order, making Sora silent and appreciating Almeer's decision.

The waiter immediately left after all the food from the tray he was carrying moved to the customer's table. Sora and Almeer began to eat their dishes.

"Tomorrow I'll take a look at our house, Ra," Almeer said.

"Have it sorted? Where's place? Far from boarding, right?" cecar Sora, he is very enthusiastic.

"It's not quite right, Sora. Maybe we can get out of Jakarta" replied Almeer.

"Come, I can't wait to spend time every day with you, taking care of our house, masakin you ..," Sora had imagined sweet things in the household.

"Yes, Sora. We'll spend a lot of time together,"

"Yes, Al. Suppose I help you at the mom's shop, okay?" ask Sora.

"Can. I know you'd be bored if I stayed at work."

"Thank you, Al ..," cried Sora sumringah.

"But if we have kids, you quit your job? just take care of our kids at home" Almeer suggested.

"Ready, Kakanda!" Sora saluted Almeer.

"Hahaha, feel like I'm king,"

Sora smiled, "You're the king of my heart, Al."

"Well, I got my wife, here."

"Are you the only one who can fight me?"

Almeer laughs at Sora and then continues their dinner with jokes and laughter.

***

This morning Sora did his activities as before. Washing clothes, helping her mother-in-law in the kitchen and returning home helped Almeer to prepare to go to the office.

"You're going to mom's shop, Ra?" almeer asked when he saw his wife wearing a veil in front of the mirror.

"Yes, I told Ruby's mom I wanted to help out at the store." Sora approached Almeer who was wearing clothes, she helped her husband button up the shirt.

"What are you going out with me on your own?" ask Almeer..

"Bareng you, aja. I like you boncengin," Sora replied, "More romantic." she added with a teasing smile.

"A lot of dust with the motor, Ra."

Sora draped both hands around Almeer's neck, he slightly tiptoed and then kissed Almeer's lips. "I think it's important that I can increase the time for sticking with you" he added.

Almeer smiled to see his wife who had more courage to kiss him, he held Sora's body which had been about to retreat and then pulled him back into his arms.

"Are you brave, now?" ask Almeer.

Sora smiled shyly, "yes, it's brave. Hihih."

"Huh?" Sora was confused by Almeer's answer.

Not yet had time to ask, Almeer had landed his lips on Sora's lips, ******* Sora's lips were wrapped in lipstick gently. Sora did not stay silent and returned Almeer's kiss. The kiss did not last long, both should be able to refrain from being carried away.

Almeer let go of his kiss and looked at Sora, their companions meeting, silent for a moment and then compactly laughing at themselves who were trying to hold back.

"Hahaha, look at your lips for my lipstick." Sora rubbed Almeer's lips with her thumb and showed it to her husband.

Almeer tartawa, he also rubbed the lip of his wife. "I'm sorry, so lipstick."

Sora nodded.

"Do we have to do it first, Ra?" woo Almeer.

"Huh?! It could be late for you, Al." Sora shook his head quickly.

Almeer snorted dejectedly, "it feels like I want to take a day off and spend a lot of time with you" Almeer complained.

"I am also ...,"

"But my dear my duty is mounting,"

Sora nodded, he let go of Almeer's left hand that was holding his waist, "ayo, you'll be in the hunt late, you know."

Almeer nodded and tidied back her clothes, While Sora re-applied the lipstick on her lips.

"Oh yes, Ra. Maybe in the next few days I should go home at night. Before we go to Jakarta I have to finish one big project" Almeer said.

"What does that mean, tomorrow I have to go to the store myself?" sora asked, she looked back at her husband.

"No, I can pick you up and take you home first, and I can go back to the office" explained Almeer.

"Don't, Al. Nay! I can just bring my own car, I don't want you to bother because of me,"

"Is it not a problem like that?" ask Almeer.

Sora nodded, "yes, no problem, really."

"Yes, I'll pick you up early, yeah ...."

"Yes, Al."

Almeer and Sora were ready to leave. They went to the main house to say goodbye before they left.

***

Today Sora returned to his mother's shop, of course getting a warm welcome and ignorant temptation from Mia as well as some other employees for coming back as newlyweds.

He also ordered rice boxes for employee lunches at the store and also at Almeer's office for his wedding and Almeer's wedding wishes.

"Why don't you tell me you ordered a rice box for my employees at the office, Ra?" tanya Almeer who just came to pick up Sora.

"Oooh, is this Mas Almeer?" Mia suddenly appeared behind Sora, "congratulations to your marriage, may sakinah, mawadah, warahmah yes ...."

"Aamiin, thank you for the prayer, ma'am," Almeer replied.

"This is Aunt Mia, Al. Who runs this mama's shop." Sora introduces Mia.

"I'm Almeer, Aunt Mia." Almeer introduced himself.

"I thought Sora would marry Aga, you know. Don't know, Aga just keep people's soul mates. Haha." Mia laughed a little.

"You know, Sora said that Sora doesn't have the same feelings as Aga, Tan." Sora slapped Mia's arm.

Mia chuckled, "Yes .., may you always be happy and get to know each other quickly. Considering you've only known each other for a minute, right?"

"Yes, Aunt ...," said Almeer and Sora kompak.

"Sora said yes, Tan ..," said Sora.

"Yes, be careful, yeah ...,"

Sora put on the Helmet given by Almeer then rushed up to the motorbike.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Aunt ...,"

"Ma'alikumsalam ...,"

Almeer also put forward his motorbike leaving the shop yard. During the trip Sora told all the activities he did in the store earlier, even telling the responses of employees there who thought Aga would be his companion. Almeer was silent as a listener and responded to what needed to be responded to.

"..., said the leaders of the fate of Aga kasian very, just keep the soul of people. I was thinking, yeah. He took care of me, uh I ended up marrying you. Al. It's a lot of kasian, isn't he?" Sora closed his sentence with a crisp laugh.

Almeer just smiled wryly. Sora who was in her trunk Meras strange when she did not hear the response from her husband.

"I'm sorry, I'm so chatty" Sora said when he realized he was talking too much.

"No, Ra. I like you a lot of gini stories."

"But your response was uncomfortable?"

"Maybe I just feel guilty, Ra."

Sora brought his head closer to Almeer's shoulder, "why guilt?" ask Sora.

"It has disappointed those around you who support your relationship with Aga" replied Almeer.

"Al! are you jealous of Aga?!" Sora looked up at Almeer's reply. She was happy and afraid to hear her husband jealous.

"Which husband is not jealous to hear his wife is enthusiastic about other men, Ra?" ask Almeer.

"I didn't hear Aga, Al. Just the response of friends." Sora tried to straighten.

Almeer just nodded his head, unwilling to argue his wife's explanation.

"I ...." Sora tightened her right hand that was coiled around Almeer's abdomen, and her left hand touched her husband's shoulder, "I'm sorry, huh?"

Almeer nodded, slowing down and stopping his bike in front of a renovated house.

Sora got off the bike, looked at Almeer and waited for an answer to his question. As usual, a soft smile widened adorning Almeer's face.

"I do feel jealous of Aga, Ra. He spends more time with you, better understands who you are. I envy that."

"I ...." Sora choked up, he felt even more guilty. "I'm sorry," he continued.

"Actually I was so angry with myself when I found out he was better than me at protecting you, Ra." Almeer snorted in annoyance and commented a wry smile.

"I promise I won't say her name again when I'm with you, Al" suggested Sora.

"No, Sora. I'm not asking you to do that." Almeer pulled Sora's hand and grasped it gently.

"How can I make you feel better?"

"Let Allah govern it" replied Almeer with a gentle smile, "most importantly now you are mine, Sora. I will try to make you happy and take care of you more than anyone."

Sora smiled, "thank you, Al."

Almeer nodded, "I hope you can be patient with me, Ra. I promised God and your parents that I would give you happiness." He stood up and turned over Sora's body, "in that house we will cultivate our happiness, Sora."
