Choice Matchmaker For Reva

112. Remembering the past

The shadow of that time was so clear, while still in school uniform they often sought extra money outside, sometimes even leaving school prematurely.

"You come with me!" said Dev at that time with a clear face because he did not want to skip learning alone.

"But I have to study, and it's still morning." Aldo tried to stay unaffected.

"This one time, next time I won't take you again." Dev kept begging, what a plain and pitying face that made Aldo waver and obey his will to skip school.

"Where are we going?" little Aldo asked continued to follow in the footsteps of Dev who was older than him.

"We're looking for money in the car wash down there" Dev replied, not looking at Aldo.

"Didn't mom give you money?" Aldo asked again.

"No, it's the end of the month. Dad's pension is only enough for basic needs if at the end of the month." replied little Dev who was so familiar with the situation at home.

"Alright, my money is running low, too. Remittances of land rent owned by my mother also just sent one or two weeks away." Aldo doesn't mind. With his sharp eyes Aldo saw left and right watching the car passing by, the white face dimpled cheek it looks more fierce but also adorable. In contrast to Dev who has a sweet face and soft look is also patient. The two crossed the streets so crowded with vehicles, until the afternoon and even the night they both went home with tired and cold bodies.

"Mas." the spoiled voice sounded melodious, breaking the reverie of the past. The lentic hand in the hand was moving between his fingers.

"Darling, you're awake." Aldo looked at her heart, as soon as he loved the woman who was carrying his child. That gentle and spoiled beautiful face always made her crazy, making an Aldo capable of doing anything to have it.

"Mas, I'm thirsty" he said with a slight squirm.

"Wait a minute baby, I'll take it." Aldo let go of the hand, headed downstairs to fetch water and food for his wife.

The man returned with food and drink in his hand. "Eat a little dear, pity our child must be hungry." he persuaded while giving the water he asked his wife.

He said, although the rice and side dishes were tasteless and fiber, like beauty cotton, slowly some food bribes managed to get into the stomach of the pregnant woman, her sturdy hands were still feeding patiently, he said, occasionally put a touch on a lethargic and slightly pale face.

"It's already a mas." he said a little whining. Aldo put a plate of food on the nightstand, then grabbed the body that was limp was not powerful.

"You know when you're asleep our son moves around, he plays with my hand, he's so agile in there. So you have to be strong for our son, don't be sad anymore." Aldo.

Reva looked up at the face that was always faithful to accompany him, looking at the clear eyeballs that were always full of love. Remember mom's message last time, to always obey her husband, don't argue anything else against her. Continuing to look at Aldo who was smiling sweetly reconciling his heart, his warm breath scattering all over his face, he looked so handsome.

"Mas."

"Yes." Yeah." Aldo was still staring at that face.

"Yesterday I did an ultrasound at the hospital while accompanying mom." Reva still looked up unblinkingly enjoying the handsome face that shook the faith.

"Then?" Aldo stared expectantly.

"Our daughter" he said slowly.

"really?" Aldo rounded his eyes, he looked so happy.

"Yes, as you wish." Reva smiles. Directly in Aldo's arms tightly, unceasingly smelling his hair and shoulders and all his beautiful face.

"Yes, you're a near-perfect husband to me, thank you for loving me so patiently." Reva rested her head on that warm chest, enjoying the sweeping fragrance, with a soothing roar of breath.

"I don't think God will grant my wish. Considering I am not a devout person, my prayers are only three rakaat only, the others I always leave behind. Only after being with you did I fix myself as I am today" Aldo said.

"That means you remember Him, and God remembers you. From now on don't leave your prayers again, because all your wishes are always he's following." said Reva softly.

"Yes, I will try, for the sake of my beloved son and wife" he said with a faint tinge of blushing.

"It's getting dark, mom's lying there." Reva was sad when she looked out the window.

"And my mother's father was also already dear, they were free with all the burdens in the world. No need to work, no need to cry about losing like us. There they are waiting for our arrival even though I don't know who will get there first." Aldo pressed his cheeks giving it tranquility.

"If it were me." Reva came back crying.

"Then what about me? Can you leave me alone?" Aldo grabbed the chin facing his face.

"Are you going to marry again?" Reva suddenly thought about it.

"Do you want me to?" Aldo's fishing for him.

"No, I don't want to." His face frowned slightly with his hands hugging her.

"Yes, then don't try to leave me." Aldo started teasing her.

"We will always be together" he said spoiled.

"Of course, forever." Aldo seduced her a little. "Let's take a shower!" take Aldo to see his wife is better.

"But I feel lazy." Reva doesn't want to move.

"But this smells dear, this one also smells, let alone the rest." Aldo pointed at his wife's neck and armpits, making the pregnant woman amused and evasive.

"I don't stink, don't you say I always smell." she replied, sounding more and more spoiled.

"That's because I'm in love." Aldo chuckles amusedly.

"Then you're not in love anymore?" Reva didn't take it.

"Still, but I'd fall in love more if my wife had taken a shower, it was cool and tempting." Aldo joked with his mischievous look and expression. He laughed, and so on would always succeed in comforting and making him happy.

After the magrib prayer the house began to be crowded again, relatives and neighbors seemed to have sat neatly together to mourn, starting activities of teaching, prayer, Yasin and so on.

Reva sat down with her female neighbors as well as her office clerks, while Aldo joined the neighbors and other colleagues. Greeting one by one those who come, one of them is a friend who had this afternoon disturbed his mind, Dev.

"Come in." he said, not showing a friendly face, nor showing a face that did not like.

Dev smiled slightly, passing by not answering anything.
