The lies of honesty

An online taxi stops in front of the airport's arrival gate. Alya rushes down from the taxi and looks for a man she always misses. The plane from Surabaya should have landed 10 minutes ago. Alya pulled out her phone from her college bag

Tiits

" Dear assalamualaikum"

" Greetings waalaikum, where is it?"

" Where else in mushalla, baby?"

" In front of you"

" A minute"

Clik.

A tall man with an athletic body, wearing a dark blue vertical striped white hem shirt with black trousers, and, he was pulling a suitcase and a grey backpack out of a corner of the room. Alya immediately ran over and hugged her

" A to Afkaaaarr".

Afkar took off the suitcase and returned Alya's embrace. Alya's head which was only limited to her chin was kissed with affection. They don't care about a few glancing eyes. Wearing many times hair with fragrance that is still the same since the abandonment six months ago.

" It's been a while?"

Alya took off her embrace looking up at Afkar's face up close, your smile was very comfortable

" Just now, I prayed ashar first, I was straight from the office to the airport"

Afkar held Alya's arm and kissed her fingers

" Sweetie added, as long as I stay eat what the hell"

Afkar started teasing with a shady look plus his deadly smile

" Eat the rice"

" What's the smell?"

Afkar again picked up the suitcase with his left hand, while his right hand was held by Alya and began to walk to the front door

" Alya is an all-you eater"

" Ooh eaters are mammals?"

" No, it's called mutualism"

" It's not that mutualism is some kind of reforestation"

" Ooh has changed now?"

" Dear later if we have children do not give answers like this to them, kasian peer they are all wrong, hahaha"

" Alya Pinter ka's son, about this is trivial. The brain gene of a child is passed down from its mother"

" That's exactly what I'm worried about"

Alya punched Afkar's shoulder.

" Aww".

Afkar stopped after being outside and invited Alya to sit on the bench available there

" We're going where you are"

" That's what I've been thinking about since"

" Yes Alya accompany to the hotel aja first, kaka can shower later we continue the streets and dinner, "

" I'm still traumatized dear to come to the hotel yesterday, my faith was strong, I don't know now" Afkar joked while poking Alya's chin

" Huuh, that's not what Alya means, yes we've just gone for a walk first, later Anterin Alya to the boarding"

" I brought a suitcase?"

" It's okay, the most who see us think we eloped"

" Dear, I can't say that"

Alya nudged Afkar's arm

" Becanda"

Afkar glanced at Alya

" Dear really add contains, I want to nyubit his cheek"

" Don't be pinch, kissed Alya will too, hehehe"

Afkar laughed

" Strengthen my faith"

" Whaha".

Am I really getting fat, huh? Ka Afkar long time did not see me, it means true dong. Ooh yes, during these 6 months I will eat regularly, eat well, care, enough vitamins, with Ka Kevin.

Uuppss, why did Kevin's face appear like this, Alya tried to eliminate it and looked at Afkar who was also staring at him

" Anyone is Alya getting fatter?"

" It's great, let's not check again"

" Reply yes, hahaha"

Afkar pulled out his cell phone

" We order a taxi to the boarding house, yes, I'll go to the hotel later tonight, find it safe"

" Kaka thought Alya was safe"

" Haha"

5 Minutes later, a taxi from Afkar came to pick up. They're headed to Alya's boarding house.

After bathing and praying magrib in Alya boarding house they forage for food

" I miss eating makasar's cotto"

" Could, here's the key to the bike"

Afkar takes the keys and they head to the makasar cotto food stall.

After dinner Alya and Afkar chose to sit back in the park near Alya's boarding house

" Dear, tomorrow we can't go to your house, I want to see papa's mom"

Deegg, oh Noooooo.

" I haven't got their permission yet, baby hasn't introduced me as a lover, have I?"

Alya keep quiet, beyond my predictions, where maybe you will meet me, yesterday and last night I was already a defendant

" Sometimes, they're busy".

Afkar changed his sitting position and now they are facing off

" When I don't know, in the retreat continue not to be so-so baby".

Alya bowed, what should I do? but shouldn't I tell her this, isn't she the main reason for all this. Afkar looked at Alya who was still bowed. Why are your breaths hunting? I can count your breaths per few seconds when you're nervous, why are your hands shaking? I understand if you want to say miss but not reveal. But these aren't signs of it, you're like scared, what happened Alya?

" You can tell me anything, baby, I'm ready to hear it"

Afkar's words are like strengthening Alya. Alya lifted her head. Afkar remained calm with a shady look and a deadly smile.

" Alya wants to apologize"

Disconnected.

" Continue darling"

What Alya wants to tell me, why I'm this big

" Ka, do you remember Kevin?"

Afkar nodded

" The neighbor who was betrothed yesterday is the same darling?"

" He has a ka, and we're together often".

Alya did not dare to look at Afkar

" then?"

Uuh pompous my question, is it as strong as my heart heard the next story if not the way I want?

" He came before Afkar came first"

Silent

How do I continue? do you have to tell me the truth? or should I lie a little for the good? what kindness can I lie to him in this situation

" Dear accept it?"

" No"

" Keep the story"

" He asked Alya to agree to this match, but Alya refused. He asked us to walk first, maybe we'll learn to love each other".

Afkar sighed, without an emotionless smile, the flat one

" Sweetie doesn't tell me you already have a lover".

Alya was silent, indeed never ka, other than their conversation at the drinks depot in front of Alya's boarding house for the first time, Kevin never asked. Oh I'm sorry I forgot, he asked me and I said nothing, because ka Afkar had not come at that time.

" then?"

" Since Afkar left yesterday, because Kevin often visited Alya, he helped Alya with her college assignments. He also accompanies Alya when important circumstances need someone to help Alya. Kaka remembered Alya once told the story, Alya's friends already had their respective busyness, it is impossible that Alya still asked for help with them"

" So who often loves the road and says being with friends is not with Arga? but with Kevin?"

" Not really, just sometimes"

First lie, I'm sorry.

" For example, which way does my dear say he needs his help?"

Heeyy, I can't possibly say I'm accompanied to the mall, to the salon, lunch, dinner, sightseeing, shopping, cinema, what kind of urgent interest it is.

" Searching for your duties"

The second lie, I must remember the arrangement, concentration, concentration, do not get the wrong answer.

" Otherwise?"

" The rain, Ka Kevin is going to pick up Alya"

The third lie, huuh the feeling of the question is very easy, but why should I think hard to answer it

" Since when?"

" Since kaka left"

" It's not exactly six months, Alya forgot"

The lie to four. Just after I left.

" What about papa's mom?".

Naah, this is what I will answer honestly, just stop the previous questions, I dizzy to think about the answer

" From the beginning they agreed, and so did her parents, and it wasn't her parents' idea"

Awesome you Alya, you betrayed me. But I need to calm down, Alya hasn't finished telling me

" Kein?"

" He always paid attention to Alya, Alya's health, food, vitamins to buy a new motor"

Afkar raised his eyebrows

Oooh, my gosh, lethargy, fighting should this not be spoken, can it be withdrawn again? forgiver.

" But Alya doesn't take ka"

The fifth lie, that now the bike is in Alya boarding house, parked sweetest, most cute among all the motorcycles that are there, compared to the motorcycles have other boarding children.

" Alya likes it?"

This time the tone of the question was different, not as relaxed as before

" No, Alya from the beginning had already rejected ka, until we broke up now Alya never had any feelings?"

" Dissolved? you guys dating?"

Waaaahh, why my tongue is so fluent in speech, tik tok tik tok, silence

" No"

the sixth lie is not what? our behavior even lately has stated that we are indeed dating, even I had time to not want to part with him, if only you did not come I do not even know what will be like later

" Why break up if you're not dating?"

" Ka, in the beginning first, he asked Alya to give certainty whether Alya was willing to try to learn? at that time I didn't give Alya any clarity, did I? Alya was confused, and Alya replied willing to try, not willing to agree to this matchmaking. Well rather than complicated our status is what, Alya said just break up, can be finished ka complete"

" When did my darling say break up"

" It's been a long time"

" When?"

" There's a month"

The seventh lie, this is the biggest lie, just yesterday ka, since I ngabarin Alya if I want to go home.

" So all this time I've been cheated on?"

" No, Alya is not having an affair, there is no love in it, nor is there any betrayal, it's just being together for the sake of it"

" Why the hell's been lying to me all this time"

" Alya didn't lie"

" the six months I was in the duo didn't lie?"

" Kaka never asks, Alya just covers up not lies"

" Now?"

Why is this question short, but the answer must be long?

" There's nothing left"

" He accepted it?"

" It's your parents' matchmaking, we don't love each other either, so it doesn't matter, Alya thinks maybe even she already has a lover"

Hopefully this is the last lie tonight, Ka Kevin of course does not approve of it, he even asked for a break for a month.

" What about your parents?".

" Ka, this is what makes Alya still not calm, our parents seem to still want us to continue this'

" Then tomorrow morning we go to your house, baby, I have to talk to them if we're lovers now".

" Don't ka, Alya won't, you'll be compared, let while things improve first"

" Not good yet?"

" I mean Alya, they sometimes still mention Ka Kevin's name in front of Alya"

Sometimes what? even yesterday until this morning was still Kevin's theme.

" But baby, I need to talk faster"

" Alya knows ka, but not now, Alya has been talking to you that Alya only loves Afkar ka, since a long time, since I have not given Alya certainty before. They know you. Alya told me everything"

" They know from love, not from me, right?"

" Ka, please Alya please don't now"

" Darling why so scared, I just want to strengthen our relationship"

" Alya made sure that the current situation is really not good ka".

" A problem should not be avoided, but should be dealt with"

" But not now"

" Dear, believe me. If I told them this, they would trust me more and accept me, baby said compare? from what?"

" Compare kaka with ka Kevin"

" I know I'm a regular guy, just starting out for life, maybe Kevin's more everything than me that I'm compared to, you know?"

" part of it"

" Because I'm just a regular employee?"

" Not really, because kaka is far away, kaka can not accompany and help Alya here"

" That's all? can I take you to Surabaya so that all your needs and activities can be helped"

" no, how could they agree to it"

" Or I'll come back here and find a new job"

" What job?"

" Maybe I can trade small, or we open a food stall"

Alya shook her head

Moreover, you will be less and less considered, the problem is that you are being compared, how can I explain more, it will hurt you. You also do not defend yourself before them, I do not want you to be more defeated and humbled, I hear enough.

" What else do we have to fix, baby?"

" This relationship has been very good ka, we will only maintain it"

" I believe how you feel, even baby telling this story is already amazing, even though I'm sick to hear it"

" Ka, Alya is sorry, and Alya does have to tell her so that you can understand Alya's situation"

" It's my fault"

" No, it's not our fault"

" My circumstances are like this, plus our distant relationship, the more useless I am"

" Whatever it is Alya will only love and choose ka Afkar"

Afkar who had an emotion despite not expressing it at all looked at Alya with a feeling of guilt.

" I believe, thank you for being honest and still want to be with me"

" Alya will never leave kaka, and even this is over for us, we will only convince our parents if this can not continue again, will you be patient and believe right?"

Afkar rubbed Alya's hair

" I trust you so much, baby, thank you".

Peeping Alya's forehead

" May our love be cherished and facilitated"

" Yes ka"

" It's late, let's go home".

Afkar threw himself in bed and turned on the television to accompany him, thinking, though he did not seem to accompany him at all. Wake up and open the window curtain looking down, the traffic was never quiet even though it was almost midnight. A city that never dies. Imagine as long as he is not there, on the road there is his girlfriend is with Kevin, maybe they laugh happily, how you like Kevin heard Alya's chatter that is always funny, warm your shoulders every time Alya punches her while joking?

Hugged your waist when hugging it? Has your back ever been his backrest? Swish your hands as Alya spontaneously held your hand.

Do you feel proud when Alya sits on stage and strummed her guitar as if it were for you? Did you laugh when Alya took something from your dinner plate and just asked for permission after she swallowed it?.

Ooh, I seem to have to be smart and make peace with jealousy now so that this love continues to grow and get stronger. Tonight I painted your face on the back of the sky

about the jealousy that gets worse

In this alone I thought I was floating

we repeat our story every page,

read your song in poetry

you're my girl in the line of poetry,

may your poetry not fly

drifting on futility

Because I've all carved it here

In my heart that may still be the man you defend

Tonight I am the owner of a heart that fights the pain of holding jealousy half to death.

It hurts if it's true you can be happy without me

You are close to my heart but far from my gaze and embrace.

Should I complain for my stupidity and absence resulting in this.

I know you are not a treasure seeker, you will not turn to him who has everything. But to what extent can you take care of everything?

And forgive your story, there's too much I don't believe. Honestly while you can, your lies make me believe we're not doing well.

I don't want to be knocked out, and it can't be over

the door has been open for a long time

But you said Kevin's business is done, we'll just keep him.

Relieve me, at least I'm not crawling alone. Wake up to make my run faster, I can't wait to reach the door for both of us to enter.
