Elvan sat long enough to daydream on the sofa, talking to Joe earlier apparently made him repeat memories in the past. The man remembered, when Alfiya was dating Joe, from then on his wife moved away for no reason. Alfiya only spoke soberly if he invited to speak. Even when passing by the girl was a lot of evades.

Alfiya never again asked for her help to do schoolwork. And it continued for a long time, until one day Elvan had just returned from college and happened to pass where Alfiya was attending school. He accidentally saw the girl sitting alone at the bus stop while it was late afternoon, almost dark and very quiet along with the raindrops that began to fall.

Meanwhile, over there on the school bus stop. Where Alea was sitting was just in a quiet company.

Actually, there was a reason why Alfiya had not returned at that time. Where he can only be silent when reading a short message from the phone.

“Fi, I can't go home with you. There's a sudden affair.”

Alfiya recalled a classmate of Joe telling her that the man had gone with another woman, which meant that Joe still could not be loyal to one woman. It makes Alfiya doubt why he had to survive with a man like Joe. Wh-wh-what for? He is not hurt Joe is still in touch with other women when he became his girlfriend. He had no feelings for that man. 

Alfiya never expected to date in this way.

But, if he chose to break up with Joe, worried Anggita will slander him again. Alfiya still remembers the incident when Anggita told secretly to mother, her heartache was still so felt.

A drop of rain fell on Alfiya's cheek, the girl then looked up at the sky while closing her eyes.

Suddenly his ears heard someone calling.

“Alfiya.”

The girl's eyes were open. He looked towards the source of the sound. Seeing who was approaching him at that moment, he was shocked. Because at that moment Elvan was right in front of his eyes.

“Why haven't you come home?” Elvan asked, taking one step closer. “Come home the same mas.” Take Elvan.

Alfiya was still speechless with a tense face. Elvan did not know what the cause of her reluctant to familiarize herself with the man again. But if he said what was the truth, Alfiya was afraid that the problem might get more complicated. And it's probably better that he stays away from Elvan.

“I'm waiting for my girlfriend.” Said Alfiya lying while turning his face away from Elvan.

“Until when you want to wait, it's late afternoon. He might not come.” Obviously Elvan, and he's convinced of that. “There are men who let women wait when the day is almost night like this.”

“I'll keep waiting for Joe.” The girl still insisted behind her stifled voice. “Mending mas go home now."

Hearing that answer Elvan then took a deep breath, because Alea was very stubborn.

“Mas wrong are you?”

Hearing the question made Alfiya turn her face even more. For some reason his eyes glazed over even his teeth until they gritted softly from trembling.

“Did I ever hurt you, until you kept away?” Ask Elvan back.

Alea seemed to want to shout to vent what she really felt and tell what happened. But, it was later that he even made trouble again and Alfiya did not want it to happen.

The girl then stood up from her seat and then stepped up to leave Elvan from there by passing the sidewalk.

“Fi.” Elvan was trying to catch up walking quickly following from behind. “Do not do this, please explain the same mas. What's wrong with that?” 

No need to care, that was what Alfiya thought at that time. Because if he cared about the man just a little bit eating hurtful words he would definitely hear back. 

The future sister-in-law. 

Makes an Angita hurt. 

He opened such a person, it was only the assessment of Anggita and his mother. He is not a usurper, Alfiya does not want to make Anggita hurt. 

Nope. 

Nope. 

"I don't want to go home!" Said Alfiya unconsciously when he turned towards Elvan quickly. 

"Why Alfiya?" Lirih Elvan did not understand. 

Before long a taxi was heading towards them. Seeing this Alfiya then stopped the taxi by waving one more hand. 

"Mas take my hand off. I'm going home."

The words finally forced Elvan to loosen his grip on Alfiya's wrist. 

That is, until the days pass so quickly. Alfiya's attitude remains the same. Keep your distance and finally feel far away. Like people who do not know each other until finally Elvan married Anggita Alfiya's attitude never changed even though Elvan sometimes tried to melt the atmosphere between them. 

Only when Alfiya and Elvan are married can both talk a lot. But not as they used to be, because what they discussed a lot were the problems that occurred during the marriage is not about their story first.

...****...

Now after remembering the old memories Elvan tried to approach Alfiya who was asleep in their room with Anggian. 

The woman was sleeping very soundly like it, but Elvan saw a palm of Alfiya's hand like massaging the head as if the woman was feeling very dizzy. 

He slowly climbed into a mattress bag right next to his wife. Because at that time Alfiya was facing Anggian, it was clear that his position was against Elvan. 

Slowly Elvan lowered the hand of Alfiya who was covering the forehead. 

"Fi." Elvan. "Mas go home." He looked at that beautiful face deeply. 

And when Elvan had lowered his face to kiss the woman's face, suddenly Alfiya's eyes opened. 

"Mas." Watered it out instantly. Then he turned his body towards Elvan. Both of Alfiya's hands were then raised to grab Elvan's body, he needed a hug. 

Until that night they filled in with many things. Including Alfiya's confession that made Elvan never thought at once very surprised, about the events in the past, where at that time Alfiya admitted that the reason he stayed away from Elvan in order to keep the feelings of Anggita and finally forced to date Joe so that Anggita does not suspect him back. 

Alfiya also admitted that his relationship and Joe had only been really serious one year before he and Elvan were married. 

Alfiya always apologizes and is patient when Joe is caught cheating several times during their dating. Until then Joe realized and tried to change when Alfiya really wanted to end their relationship one year ago. 

But the plan is only a plan, who knows about the future if Alfiya who used to try to stay away from Elvan was married to the man. 

"Mas love me?"

"Of course." Elvan then kissed Alfiya's forehead gently. Then whispered softly. "I love you Afiya."
