Sitting next to each other on the edge of the bed, Henry grabbed Areta's fingers into his tight grip. Staring at each other in the distance of a few snores alone makes Henry can freely look at the curve of Areta's sweet face.
"I've actually been wanting to tell you this ever since. I was confused where to start. I'm also afraid you won't like it. Areta, I want to be Rosa's father. For that I need you beside me. Please give me a chance to be a good and responsible father to Rosa" Henry said sincerely. Seen from the radiance of his eyes that sparkled happily. For Areta began to melt, no longer giving resistance when she approached.
"But please think about it again. It would be best if you listened to what your mother said."
"Areta, please ... Please don't tell me what my mom said. Now let's talk about our future. Me, you, and Rosa."
"But what your mother said is true. I just don't want to ruin your relationship with your mom. I don't want you to be a sinful child against your parents. Try to watch me carefully. Look at me from a different point of view. There is nothing you can be proud of me.
"There are still many beautiful women out there who are better than me and more deserving of you, Henry. Why are you wasting your future on a woman like me. That even a single hair was not very pan_" Areta's long sentence came to a halt when Henry put his index finger on her lips.
"I really don't like to hear you compare yourself to the women out there. For me, you are the best. Indeed, that's pretty much. Better is also much. But of all the women in the world, unfortunately there is only one Areta. And that's you." Sharpening his gaze, Henry showed his sincerity through the look in his eyes.
Areta could feel Henry's sincerity, but she tried to deny it. Even trying to fight his own heart. He even tried to resist the sense that was coming, carrying unusual shakes in his chest. Which he himself actually understands what kind of feeling.
But he does not want to be seen as a woman who is too easily subdued and ignored only by the sweet words and gentle practices of a man. Especially if he looks back on his purpose of accepting this marriage, it would be embarrassing if one day he admitted if he also began to have the same feelings.
"If the best I have got, why else would I expect another one" Henry said staring fixedly at Areta's pair of eyes. While carrying his right fingers gently touch the left cheek of Areta.
"If you leave me, are you sure I can be happy with the others? While my happiness is you" he softened his tone.
Make Areta's heart warm for a while. He was moved by Henry's sincere expression of feelings. His heart even pounding violently was treated this special way. The treatment she almost never received from Angga, her ex-husband. Only at the beginning of the marriage did Angga treat him almost similarly.
"Please tell me what my shortcomings are. So that I can improve myself to become a better person. So that I deserve to be a good husband and father to you and Rosa."
Areta was stunned. He could not deny Henry had a sincere heart. But, is it possible that Rosa will be able to accept Henry as her father. While the little girl did not know about the reality of her parents who had separated.
"But Hen_" She grabbed Henry's fingers from his face. Put it down, put it on a pile with his own fingers.
"Areta, please ... I don't want to hear that word anymore. Please never humble yourself. I don't like that very much. Want people to say anything about you, I don't care. It's appropriate and inappropriate for you to make me, it's just me who knows."
"But, Henry please you think about this carefully. Don't let you regret it later. I know you're a good man. You deserve a good woman. And that woman is not me."
Sighing his breath long, Henry lowered his face. He knew it wasn't easy to win Areta's heart. But that doesn't mean he will give up easily.
Pulling his hand from Areta's grasp, Henry tilted his seat slightly to face Areta.
"Who said you weren't a good woman? Hm?" tanyanya while carrying both hands cupped Areta's face. Locking her gaze, trying to convince Areta once again of her heart's earnestness.
"I know you haven't been able to open your heart to me. But I'm pretty sure, in your heart there must be a slight gap. I'm just asking for help, give me a chance to enter that gap. I'll prove it to you, and you can see my sincerity, Areta," he said. With a glaring gaze, wooing the flower buds in Areta's heart to blossom and flourish.
Might as well.
But he did not want to guess, then came to his own conclusions. While maybe Areta just feel sorry for him. Iba doesn't mean love, does it?
"Areta, I hope you won't get tired of hearing this from me." Henry sighed for a moment, before finally returning to say, "I love you for who you are."
Henry's last words finally published a smile on Areta's face.
"If I gave you a chance, wouldn't you regret it?" ask Areta suddenly.
Shaking his head quickly, Henry was invaded with a feeling of happiness too. Because the question is a sign that Areta has begun to open her heart to him.
"Never, Areta. I'll never regret it and I'll never back down to get your heart," he said. His face began to glow.
"Then, please move forward. I want to see how strong your resolve is. I_" Areta had not yet finished her sentence, Henry had already silenced her with a gentle kiss.
Making Areta gasp, surprised to receive a surprise attack. Henry who shrewdly played the role, managed to get Areta carried away by her soft play. Areta could only close her eyes to receive Henry's tender fondling.
Areta who was lulled also broke down as Henry laid her down slowly, while savagely making out. The absence of rejection from Areta makes Henry look at the beauty of the body Areta. One by one the buttons of Areta's pajamas had already slipped off the link. So that shows two smooth assets Areta neatly wrapped behind a black lacy cloth.
While lowering the kiss from along the neck, Henry's fingers did not stay still. The fingers began to trace Areta's back, about to reach for the lacy cloth hook behind her back when suddenly ...
Drrrrt Drrrrt Drrrrt
The sound of vibrating a cell phone on the nightstand stopped Henry's action. His overflowing passion should he hold on for a moment. He could only blow his breath rough.
Areta rushes up and grabs her vibrating phone from the nightstand. Quickly he linked back his pajama buttons before finally answering a video call from Angga.
A little upset, but Areta also can not ignore the call from her ex-husband. Because Rosa could have contacted him using her father's cell phone.
And sure enough, once the green button is shifted, Rosa's face is clearly displayed on the screen of her phone.
"Mama ..." call Rosa as soon as the call is connected.
While fixing her slightly messy hair, Areta replied, "Hello, honey. Mama misses Rosa. Rosa why haven't you slept, son?"
["Rose kangen Mama. Rosa wants Mama home. Poor Papa Rosa every night sleeping alone. Where is Mama anyway? Go home, Mah?"] Rosa had a sullen face, wanting her mother to obey her request.
Immediately responding to Rosa's request, Areta glanced at Henry for a moment. Who looked at her with a longing gaze, wanted Areta to understand her stifled desire.
