Devotion of Love

Who's He...?

"Zahro, please deliver dinner to Zalwa. I saw him just getting home from work. Maybe he hasn't had dinner yet!" tika said, Zahro shook his head. Tika stared intently at Zahro. Tika is angry to see Zahro behaving inappropriately towards Zalwa. How much Zalwa is a guest to be honored?

"Mbak Tika, he came here to harass Tika's family. I don't want to respect people who don't deserve to be respected. Sorry, Tika, I feel the arrival of Zalwa with a certain intent!" said Zahro annoyed, Tika hit slowly Zahro's shoulder.

"Have not said much, just give me dinner tonight. I'm going to see Agam, he just got home!" tika said as she stepped towards her room.

What Zahro said was not wrong? Before everyone thinks badly of Zalwa. Tika was the first to feel a strange premonition. Since Zalwa's arrival, Agam's attitude has changed slightly. He was much more reserved, as if something was stirring his mind. But Tika remained silent, waiting for the written path.

"Mas Agam, take a shower after that I prepare dinner!" tika said, Agam shook his head weakly. Tika saw Agam standing in front of the window of her room. The right window looked towards the pavilion where Zalwa lived. There was a hint of pain, as Agam's gaze focused on the building in front of him. But only silence can Tika do now.

"Why do I feel that look is full of meaning? I've seen the same look. When we first looked at each other. O my imam, who exactly is Zalwa Ainun Azizah? Let him be in your life, until you ignore my existence!" inner Tika.

"Alright then, Tika down. Tika asked Zahro to take dinner to the pavilion. I'm afraid Zalwa hasn't had dinner yet. It looks like you two have already had dinner together!" said Tika, Agam immediately turned his head in surprise. Tika already knew the answer to his words!

"Well, you don't misunderstand me. We had dinner together, but not both. Almost all the staff came with us. So don't even think about it!" agam said, Tika shook her head weakly. Agam's gaze was already able to answer all of Tika's anxiety. Only the heart of a wife can feel different.

"I'll never misunderstand. As long as this heart is sure of our sacred promise. If I had believed you in the past even though Annisa was among us. But either now believe it is still there or have changed doubts. One thing is for sure, once our hands are out. I don't want to hold it anymore!" said Tika, Agam walked closer to Tika. Tika sat on the edge of the bed. Tika looked at her two hearts who were sound asleep.

"Honey, that trust will never change. I'm still the old Agam, Zalwa is nobody? He and I never knew each other!" said Agam, Tika looked at Agam's face. With a smile, Tika held Agam's hand. Then Tika gently kissed the back of Agam's hand.

"Let me kiss this hand. A hand that knows when it will be mine? Zalwa may be nobody? But long before the name Tika existed, the name Zalwa was written in your heart. Your gaze seemed to say, the face you saw first before my face. Your refusal is merely fear, a bond will be present long before I exist!" tika said, Agam looked down confused to hear Tika's words.

"Mas Agam, your silence is more convincing to my heart. Zalwa is not someone else in your heart. Don't worry about our relationship. If it is your race to him, replace your race to me. God willing I am sincere, there will be no tears dripping. Love is sacred!" tika said, Agam shook his head weakly.

"You go too far thinking, Zalwa and I are just friends. Never more, then or now. So don't decide too easily!" agam said, Tika smiled faintly. He saw doubt in the words of Agam. A concern for the choices chosen in his life.

"Your words just answered all my doubts. A few minutes ago, you said you didn't know him. Just now you said, there will be no relationship then or now. Don't lie to a heart that loves you. A sincere heart will never fear being hurt. He will always accept. Because a sincere heart never replies. Let's stop this conversation, Mas Agam must be tired!" tika said, Agam shook his head holding Tika's hand.

"I just want to see Asih and Zahro. I will not cry, for my tears have dried. Let time answer all these doubts!" tika said, Agam nodded slowly. Forcing the will on Tika was not the right way. Do you know the character of Tika more than anyone?

Tika meets Zahro and makes Asih, Tika asks them to save dinner. Actually Tika has not had dinner, she is waiting for Agam to come home. The first time Agam forgot his time together for dinner. Tika is not a weak person, she will not complain just because of dinner.

"Enter all the bik, I'm still full. It'll be night if I'm hungry. I'm sorry I had dinner!" said Tika, Bik Asih nodded in understanding. Zahro brought back a tray of food.

"Sir Tika, the woman has already eaten dinner. What is this food for?" said Zahro annoyed, Tika shrugged both shoulders. Tika went into the room to accompany her two children. Zahro looked at Tika. He and Asih, two people who understand and know Tika. They seemed to feel, what did Tika feel? Tika never complained.

"Bik Asih, please make me some coffee. Please take me to my office!" said Agam, bik Asih nodded slowly. Actually Agam wanted to ask Tika for help, but he paused. Agam saw that Tika had fallen asleep, while hugging her two hearts.

"Bik, Tika's mom doesn't eat dinner. Why is all the food stored in the refrigerator?" said Zahro loudly, bik Asih shook his head weakly. Zahro is a jolly and honest person, he is the solace of Hana.

A loud voice was heard by Agam. Instantly Agam's body stiffened, his lips mute and his ears as if deaf. Zahro's words were like a slap. Again and again Agam made his wife sleep hungry. Agam rubbed his face rough, he was upset to know Tika was sleeping hungry.

Actually, Tika could have eaten first, but Tika always waited for Agam. Go home soon. Tika doesn't want to see her eating alone. Unless Agam calls her, says he'll have dinner outside. But tonight, Agam seems to forget the presence of Tika. He chewed on the food without a hint of remembering his wife's hunger.

"Mas Agam, here's the coffee!"

"Bik Asih, isn't Tika eating dinner yet?" said Agam, bik Asih shook his head.

"Why?"

"Mbak Tika will not be able to eat without seeing the gagam eating!" said bik Asih cold, Agam stunned to hear the words of bik Asih.

"It's only been a few days since then, Zalwa was beside you. You have forgotten our habits. Who is he mas? Until you forget about Tika the gun girl. Maybe I was negligent, so I had to take this exam. If your hands are no longer able to hold. I'm sincere, my sincere love will never hurt. Because my love doesn't hurt, it's loving!" tika Inner look at Agam. Tika accidentally went down looking for Agam. She saw him in his study.

"Sir Tika!"

"Zahro, I'm fine. As long as you are beside me!"
