Choice Matchmaker For Reva

114. Unaltered

"Well, for a kind brother-in-law I'll get you coffee and food." Aldo headed for the kitchen.

"Dev, I hope you can continue a happy life like everyone else. But whatever it is I hope is the best choice for you." Rey spoke seriously, after the two of them.

"I know." she answered briefly, her eyes looking up at my mother's house.

"You still thinking about my sister?" Rey guessed what her best friend was thinking.

"I'm sorry, I love your sister too much" she said, sounding shaky.

"What makes you not forget?" Rey is curious, but also very pityful.

"Actually, I still remember one thing. Which sometimes makes me wish." Dev lowered.

"What?" Rey is getting curious.

"He promised to come back to me." Dev leaned against rubbing his face.

"Gosh my god." Spontaneous Rey also rubbed her face, hard to believe.

"I'm not lying. And in the end she was willing to marry Aldo, I really wish she would love me and come back to me as she promised. It's not so easy that she's forgotten me."

"I think you're misunderstanding, and don't you see she loves Aldo so much." Rey still can't believe it.

"Of course." Answer's short.

"If that happens the one who gets hurt the most is your friend." Rey stared at Dev's face, her words were full of emphasis. "You're too much." Rey seemed to be holding back her anger.

Both silent.

Drifting in each other's thoughts, Dev with his feelings getting tangled, Rey with all the possibilities that make him so anxious.

"It's a drink of gold." Bi Inah brought coffee, followed by Aldo with some packaged food in his hands.

"Thank you bi." Rey saw her sister-in-law sitting next to her. "Why Old?" Rey told Aldo.

"I went upstairs, forgot to prepare the water. Afraid she's thirsty." Aldo opened the packaged bread and ate it.

Rey's heart aches a little, her very sincere and wholeheartedly loving sister-in-law does it have to end with Dev's words just now? Rey is confused. "You go with him, he must be thinking about mom." Rey saw her sister-in-law a little agitated.

"Ah alright." at a glance he glanced at Dev but then passed leaving them.

I don't know what they were talking about until 23:00 Rey walked in with a sluggish-looking pace. "You haven't slept?" Rey saw her sister-in-law sitting in the living room.

"Not yet." Aldo.

"I want you to promise to be with my sister no matter what." Rey sat opposite Aldo.

"What if Reva doesn't want to be with me?" ask Aldo slowly.

"Contact me. I'll take Reva with me." Rey looked at Aldo expectantly. "Why, lately I don't trust Dev" he added.

"I'll keep my son and my wife if she chooses me, but if she doesn't?" Aldo covered his face with both palms.

"You're gonna budge?" Rey stared hard at him.

"I don't think so." Aldo smiled, and welcomed the confident smile of his brother-in-law.

"I'm picking up my sister." Rey patted Aldo on the shoulder and passed to his room. Followed Aldo also went upstairs to his wife's room.

Reva was sleeping soundly on her side, her beautiful face and little chuby was adorable. Aldo paused for a moment to look at his wife, and then the bigger content with his clumsy hand held one side of her stomach.

Reva moved to tilt her body in the other direction, her hands were palpating on the bed looking for something, it was certain that what she was looking for was the man standing watching her from earlier. The huge body turned back and its breath was drawn so deeply.

Aldo hugged her, stroked her face and rubbed her delicate hair. He was very affectionate, but his heart was grieving what he had heard from Dev's mouth.

"Mas." Call him so spoiled.

"Yes." Yeah." Aldo held the hand that was looking, as if his position was still far away when it was so close. "Sleep, baby." Aldo laid his body beside Reva, hugging that waist with a single touch giving a sense of comfort to the two lives within his body.

While in a different place, again the man returned to do things that made him forget the problems of life.

"Mas, I love you." The voice was like it was calling, she was so beautiful with a smile that sometimes seemed touchable.

"I will faithfully wait for you, waiting for the day that you say ijab qabul with my brother." the sound is also so fixed in the ears, the face that makes it look like a mirror in sleep as well as every day.

"If this end seems to be separated by time and atmosphere that is not asked for, but believe me not one bit my love for you recedes and changes. Maybe someday we will be together again. You and I will enjoy a special love. Although I don't know exactly when the time is, you and I will meet for us to restore the beauty first." as if memorizing a song, but of course the tone is sadness.

That morning, Rey got ready with the clothes that had been packed, Alisa was ready to carry Ayra.

"Remember my message, please take care of my sister because you're all she has. Otherwise I'll take her with me." Rey looked at her sister-in-law's face seriously.

"There's my son in his womb, he'll be safe with me." Aldo reassures Rey, it seems Rey is hesitant to leave her sister because of their conversation last night.

"All right." Rey smiled slightly, then approached Reva and hugged her. "Take care of yourself, according to your husband" he said.

Alisa hugged her sister-in-law. "I'll come here often, and it won't stay there or come back here."

"Am I the only one who's delivering you?" Aldo took the big suitcase to the car.

"No need, let the driver." said Rey, they got into the car and then passed with a wave of hands from both.

"Son't gone." Reva was still staring at the barely visible car again.

"The departure of someone we care about will indeed leave sadness." Aldo looked straight ahead.

"Don't leave me, mas." Reva rested her head on Aldo's shoulder, but either Aldo seemed to hold tightness. Letting the woman continue to hug and lean back without replying as usual.

Days passed, weeks and months changed. That morning Reva was walking in her yard, legs that had been smooth and beautiful lately look swollen.

"Darling, isn't it painful to walk in the yard barefoot?" Aldo approached him and held his wife's arm.

"No, mas." She answered softly, her eyes so sad looking at her husband's face.

"Don't we have a child today to be born?" Aldo stared at the sad face was not as happy as usual.

"Yes." Yeah." Answer's short.

"What's wrong?" Aldo asked in those eyes as if sad.

"Mas, I've wanted to ask this for a long time" he said slowly.

"What?" Aldo still didn't take his eyes off.

"Why, lately I feel like you've changed. What's my fault with you?"
