ALINEA LOVE

61

Assalamu'alaicum, Moza. May you remain healthy and always in the protection of Allah.

You shouldn't have to avoid me because we have to meet and straighten things out. And through this letter I want to tell you, I'm willing to marry you if Sky gives you up for me.

I hope you will contact me soon after reading this letter.

Wassalamu'alaikum, Greece.

Almeer Sagara.

Sora closed his eyes, every word of Almeer's writing in a piece of paper tucked in Khadijah's book was still vividly remembered in Sora's mind. A thread of tears continued to drip, tucking in at the bottom of his eye patch.

Pretending not to know is one way to strengthen his heart. She did not want to consider her husband a liar who had told her she was the only woman she expected. She just wanted to accept and believe what her husband said.

He knew, scraping something would only make him hurt. Although curiosity always tore his heart apart, he still tried to hold it in and wake himself up.

It's just that, the most important thing is that right now you're the legal wife and the only woman Almeer loves.

Yes, Sora always reassured herself and threw away bad thoughts about her husband.

But, the current state of affairs urged Sora to find out the truth through Sky. Sky should have known about all the things he wanted to ask.

"I don't want to interfere with your domestic affairs, Ra. You can ask Almeer yourself" Sky said.

Sora opened his eyes and shook his head quickly, "No, Sky! No!" he said, suddenly his curiosity disappeared. "I'm too afraid to accept the reality, Sky."

"Then will you keep wondering?" sergeant Sky, "lying to yourself is not a solution, Ra!" coined.

"I love her too much, I don't want things like that to shake my love for her."

"You dare to come to me, it means you are ready to accept the reality! But unfortunately I don't have all the answers to your questions."

Sora nodded, "yes .., enough I know until here. Don't explain anything" he asked.

"You're not good at hiding your feelings, Ra. Better—"

Sora hurried to leave Sky, unwilling to listen to Sky's words. His steps came to a halt when he opened the door of Sky's room. There was Aga standing right in front of the door. The man was just silent, his face sad looking at Sora's watery eyes and cheeks.

"Don't find out anything about my husband! Don't interfere in my business!" threatening Sora, he knew very well who the man in front of him was.

"Are you not supposed to be happy?" ask Aga.

"I'm happy, I love my husband and he loves me" Sora replied with tears in her eyes.

"I won't forget my promise to you, Ra."

Sora left Aga, ignoring the man's words. But her steps came to a halt when she saw her husband standing at the end of the corridor. There was no expression on his face.

Sora immediately ran over to Almeer and hugged the man tightly. Of course, it made Almeer astonished. He looked at Aga, but the man went to another part of the corridor.

"Why, Ra?" almeer asked, he grew even more confused as Sora nodded in his arms.

"Rb ...." Almeer pushed slowly on Sora's body and invited his wife into the room.

Almeer and Sora sat on the edge of the bed, Almeer continued to stare at his wife.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying all of a sudden, Ra?" almeer asked, "did Aga make you cry?"

Sora shook her head, she wiped her tears and looked at her husband. "I'm just happy because now everyone knows that I'm your wife."

"No, that's not why you're crying, Sora." Almeer knew clearly that Sora was lying.

Sora just stared silently at Almeer. Slowly her hands covered both cheeks of her husband then landed a soft kiss on Almeer's lips.

Almeer gave no reply to the kiss. For him, the kiss was a sign of a heartache of his wife. He immediately hugged Sora after the kiss came off.

"Maybe you still have a hard time telling me how you feel about me, Ra. I'll keep waiting for the reason for this cry of yours."

Sora nodded.

"But you have to remember, Ra. We are husband and wife, do not keep everything alone. I am the first person you see when you wake up and it will be forever, our whole life. Therefore, do not hide the slightest thing from me," said Almeer.

"I still need time, Al ...."

Almeer nodded, "i'll be waiting for you" he said.

Sora pulled away from her husband's embrace, she wiped her tears and smiled widely. "I love you, I love you, Sagara Almeer" Sora said with emphasis.

"I love you too, Kianga Sora. Always and forever" Almeer's answer was closed with a kiss on Sora.

***

The atmosphere of Abdurahman Saleh Airport in Malang is more crowded than this afternoon. Maybe because of Sunday, many people are preparing to start their daily activities in their respective cities.

Almeer and Sora just got out of the airport area with one of the babysitters at Al-Mukmin boarding school. Almeer had to meet Kyai Nur first before going to their new home.

"You stay only four years, last night the people had a lecture and do'a together there. Grandfather has sent people to help your wife there," said Kyai Nur with a hoarse and slow voice when Almeer and Sora will say goodbye home.

"Upload, Cake. Thank you ...," said Almeer. He and his wife immediately said goodbye.

"We will often visit Grandpa here" said Sora.

"Yes, Nduk." Kyai Nur smiled and nodded her head as she blinked her eyes softly. "You have to take care of each other, yeah. Household has many trials. Grandpa can only pray, you who live," said Kyai Nur.

"Sendiko dawuh, Grandpa," said Almeer, he ta'dzim heard messages from Kyai Nur.

"Here, hurry to leave .., later to hunt magrib on the road."

"Express, Grandpa. Assalamu'aikum ...."

"Wa'alaikumsalam Warahmatullahi Westarakatuh,"

Almeer and Sora greet some of his brothers, caretakers and caregivers of the boarding school who escorted them away.

"Al, your bike?" sora asked when she saw Almeer's motorbike parked in the parking lot.

"Tomorrow I will take it" replied Almeer.

"Take it with you, Al. I'll bring my own car, I'll follow you from behind,"

"Is it okay?" ask Almeer.

"Yes, Al. All right, from tomorrow you're busy here and there,"

"Well, I'll take the bike, yeah." Almeer gave Sora his car contact.

Sora gets into the car, while Almeer approaches the bike. After both start the engine, Almeer leaves first and Sora follows behind Almeer.

Travelling fairly smoothly, Almeer always made sure his wife's car remained within reach. Almeer's motor stopped right at the traffic light, a big crossroad.

While waiting for the traffic light to turn green, Sora hugged the steering wheel and leaned her chin on the wheel. She looked at her husband in front of her car, their eyes met in the rear view of Almeer's motorcycle. The two smile at each other.

One by one the motorbikes stopped in the front row of Sora's car. A female rider and a small child sat in the backseat, tightly hugging the woman who was piggybacking on him. The two-headed boy behind a bogo helmet in a cartoon character hit Almeer's arm. Surprised Almeer and turned his attention to the person who hit him.

"Oom Almeeer!" the little boy shouted, he waved his hand and smiled broadly showing his teeth.

"Hi, Cloe! Assalamu'alaikum," said Almeer, he instead looked at the woman in front of Cloe, "Hi, Za!" sapana.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Oom. Finally met Oom Almeer too."

From inside the car, Sora just looks at the conversation between Almeer and Cloe. Again the relationship of the three people in front of it disturbs Sora's mind. He was forced to wave his hand and comment on Cloe's smile when the little boy looked at him and waved at him.

"tilt tiiinn!"

Sora keeps following Almeer's bike. Not too far from the moza housing gate, Almeer motorbike began to enter their new residential housing.

Almeer stopped his motorbike in front of the fence and opened the gate, then immediately put his motorbike in the carport, followed by Sora's car which also began to enter the carport and parked next to Almeer's motorbike.

"Is there a fence, Al?" sora asked as she got out of the car.

Almeer closed the carport gate again, "Wild, safe," he replied with a small laugh.

Sora opens the trunk of his car and Almeer takes the suitcase from inside the trunk. "Yep, come in."

Sora nodded quickly, he followed Almeer's steps up the natural rock that became the path to the entrance of the house.

"Assalamu'alaikum" said Almeer as he opened the door.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," said someone from the side of the house.

"Al ..., it's really good ...." Sora was amazed to see his new home.

From the living room to the kitchen there is no wall there. Only a unique design partition becomes a barrier between the living room and the middle room. Sora stepped her feet into the middle room.

"God, Al ...." Sora shut his mouth because he was happy.

The living room had only a long sofa and a medium-sized carpet underneath to enjoy the television.

But what makes Sora happy with the middle room when he saw the large folding window, showing a green garden and fish pond. Sora can make sure the house makes it very comfortable. Aga's house is nothing compared to this, he murmured.

"Sorry, I just sprinkled the plants on the side, Mas, Ma'am." A forty-year-old woman came over to Sora and Almeer. He wiped his wet hands with the bottom of his shirt to shake hands with Sora.

"I'm Siti, Ma'am. I usually help ning Ruby in Ndalem." Siti extended her hand to Sora.

"I'm Sora ...." Sora looked at Almeer, asking to call the woman in front of him by what name.

"Mom..," replied Almeer without a sound.

"Bu Siti ...." Sora continued his sentence earlier.

"Since last night I have been told by Kyai Nur to stay here, help with Ma'am Sora's domestic work," explained Siti.

"Yes, Miss Siti. Thank you for helping me" Sora said.

"Would I help you get the suitcase to the room, Mas Al?" ask Siti.

Almeer shook his head, "thank you for the offer, Ms. Siti. I'll just bring it myself."

"For dinner I have prepared, only I have not arranged on the dining table, I—"

"No need, Miss Siti," trimmed Sora, "let me prepare myself later. Bu Siti can continue to flush the garden," continued Sora.

"Yes, Mother. Excuse me first." Siti went back to the side garden.

"To yuk's room, Ra," Almeer asked.

Sora nodded, and followed Almeer's steps one by one towards the second floor.

On the second floor there are only two bedrooms, a room for prayer and a bathroom. One room for Almeer and Sora, another room that will be used for their child's room.

Almeer opened their room door, "Taraaa ...."

"Well! Just like my room, Al!" peekik Sora who saw the design of their room exactly like Sora's room in Jogja, still typical with large windows.

"Smaller but," errat Almeer.

"I love it ...." Sora looked at Almeer and hugged her husband tightly, "thank you, Mas Almeer" she said.

"Eeh, now use Mas? he said it's more convenient to call names?"

Sora raised his head, "but it seems that I am not polite to call you by name alone, Al. I often see some people surprised when I call you by name alone, especially the people in the boarding school, " explains Sora.

"You comfortable calling me that?" ask Almeer.

"I have to get used to it" Sora replied with a big smile until her eyes were almost closed.

Almeer nodded and tightened Sora's embrace, "should I call you Dik Sora?" tanyanya jahil's.

"No, ah! tickle me!" sora protests.

"Hahaha, yes no." Almeer pinched Sora's nose, "what do you want me to call you?" ask Almeer.

"Pubun! That sounds adorable. I want my children to call me that ...," Sora said.

"If now?"

"Whatever, anyway,"

"Mahaha ...." Almeer laughed loudly at his wife's request, but he immediately nodded his head to fulfill his wife's wish, "Honey, yes?"

"Sounds the market, huh?" ask Sora.

Almeer shook his head, "I think it's suitable for the adorable Kianga Sora" replied Almeer.

"I'd like to call you Bie alone, Al. The call to you sounds old-fashioned. It looks like it was in the days of our papa mama" Sora suggested.

"Bie's? Habibie or Bee's Bee?" ask Almeer.

"Habibie, Abie, suits you."

Almeer restrained her smile from getting too wide from blushing in embarrassment, "yes yes. It's up to you, honey."

Sora smiled again, his eyes staring at the ceiling. He was imagining something, "I can't wait to hear the voice of the little boy calling me Bubun and calling you Abie."

"Next night we're moving, honey."

"Well! Yesterday, wasn't it?"

"But not today. Let's get the money tomorrow morning, honey." Almeer rolled his eyes a few times.

"OK Okay, Al! uh, Bie."

And, the nighttime professional scene will still be skipped! readers are expected to be wise in their imagination. Hahahaha (bad laugh)
