EPOCHS

Chapter 13

Kinza and Al get back in the car. About half an hour at the airport, they finally returned home after the plane in the Princess flew to Magelang.

Both Al and Kinza, the two humans were both speechless. They were swept away in each other's grief and disappointment. Both minds are equally confused. Each of them is equally lost.

Kinza always talks a lot. But now? the girl looks so moody. His face was not as cheerful as before.

"Later in the afternoon we move to the dormitory. After this prepare all your clothes." said Al open his voice. I don't know where the wind is from. Kinza looked slowly.

"That's a big shot? Doesn't it take a week to be free? Don't we have time for a walk?" ask Kinza curiously.

"This is it, Za. I don't want to linger in your house. Wh why? Because within a week, surely meet her the same you continue. I don't know what I'm feeling. But every time I see you, it's a spill." said Al honestly. Kinza then glared. "Ah, it's common to also be treated like this Kak Al." Inner Kinza protest.

"Don't you think I'd like to see Brother? Ogah, make my brain mumble. But how else, within a week Mother and your Papa want to hold a three-day event. What do they say if we move that fast. What reason is there that strengthens Brother's desire? Surely they would not agree." Kinza replied plainly. I think he cursed Al.

Al was silent for a moment. He rubbed his face with a huff. "Why did I forget?" inner Al protest, it feels so bad.

"It could be crazy of me that you keep going." cynical Al judes.

"Udah, Brother. Follow all their wishes. This marriage was done because of the wishes of our family. Observe and be devoted to them what is wrong? It's also because of Brother's will, right?" sindir Kinza. I don't know the impulse from which the girl is able to say that. Al hunch? Sure oes. Kinza's words were all true. It was Al who accepted this match quickly. Without thinking first.

Al didn't reply. He didn't speak to Kinza in the least. Both are silent again.

"A week is a short time. After moving to the dormitory, Brother is free to do anything. I also have to focus on my lecture." Kinza said breaking the silence. However, his words just now were ignored by Al. The man focused on his steering, he lazily argued again with Kinza.

...---...

"Ready, Mother. Tomorrow morning Kinza and Kak Al leave for Yogyakarta."

"....."

"Yes Mother, wa'alaikum sallam."

Clique

Connection interrupted.

Kinza put his phone back in the bag. "Mother?" ask Al cuek. Kinza nodded her head slowly.

"She said anything to you?" ask Al back. This time it seems softer.

"Yes, we are told to be ready to go to Yogyakarta. I'm the same Brother first there, later Mama and my family later." replied Kinza.

"Btw, you have no other job? Or not going for a walk?" ask Kinza slowly.

"No, lazy, especially if the road is with you." added Al judges. Kinza was annoyed.

"Dih, who would want to go with Brother." decak Kinza did not like. The girl looked back at the street.

"It's good." replied Al lightly.

"So, no, why the hell, I don't like it very much with me. Is it my fault that you tried it with brother?" tanya Kinza ventured.

Al who was asked so, immediately looked at Kinza coldly. "Not aware of your position, huh? I obviously had to break up with Princess because of you. Because of this matchmaking." baju Al spicy. Kinza immediately took turns staring at Al.

"Kok be my fault anyway, brother? This is all because of the wishes of our parents. Wrong Brother also dong why would be in a match with me!" decak Kinza was half angry.

"Hey, horrified, yes! This matchmaking will not happen if you are not born into the world." cynical Al Sharp.

"What the hell do you want, brother? Can I choose to be born or not? Big brother ngaco really." lick Kinza don't like it. Al breathed slowly.

"Yes, stop. We don't have to talk about things that don't make sense. This marriage will not change everything. We will still each, even though we are home, just assume we do not know." said Kinza ended his debate. Al hush. The man wasn't looking at Kinza anymore.

Kinza was silent too. Her brain is full of angry feelings. Every time I talk to Al, it must be the girl who gives up. Al doesn't want to lose, his prestige is too great. It's hard to match Al and all his selfishness.

Al is also human. He has a heart and a brain. But, her emotions always lingered when talking to the annoying girl, who had now officially become her wife.

Al sometimes felt sorry, even sometimes felt he was too cruel. But, Al can what? His prestige was too high to just speak softly to Kinza.

"I'm sorry." baju Al suddenly. Kinza who did not understand what he meant, then looked at Al lekat.

"I'm sorry for what?" ask Kinza coldly.

"I'm sorry, because my words were just too cruel." Al replied.

Kinza smiled wryly. "Newly realized, Brother? Why didn't you apologize for once?" cynical Kinza judes.

"Why is it? You don't want to forgive me?" al protest.

"Where are you, brother? The pain that Big Brother gave me was too great. It must be very hard to forgive. If you want, I can apologize, but there are conditions." Kinza said hanging up his last sentence.

"No, my guts is sorry for you." reject Al quickly.

"Yes, I don't mean it either. If you want, then follow the terms of me. If not, no problem." added Kinza lazy.

Al mendelik. "Yes, I'm not sorry."

"Whatever Brother is."

...---...

The atmosphere in their living room was so warm, even Al and Kinza looked so romantic. They are like two people who love each other sincerely. Without coercion and without demand. You know, they're making a drama.

"Sir, sit here with Yangti, take your husband as well." call a middle-aged woman. A soft smile was engraved on her beautiful face which had already started to wrinkle.

Kinza, who felt called, looked at the source of the voice. The girl found her Grandma-Asti, who was smiling gently towards her.

"Sister, called Yangti. Yuk, meet him" take Kinza. Al then agreed.

"Yes, Yangti, what's wrong?" ask Kinza gently. They sat down in front of Asti.

"Sir, may your marriage be happy. Yangti knows, the basis of this marriage is because you are married, not because of love. But, Yangti hope, one day you will love each other." said Asti gently, while holding together the hands of Al and Kinza. The two lovebirds then fell silent, fixated on Asti's words just now.

"Don't hate anyone, don't blame anyone. This is all the will of the Powerful. We, must accept with a chest. Yangti hope, your love will grow over time. Don't be in a hurry, Nduk." bajuh Asti soft. Like an arrow stuck in his body. Kinza's heart was stunned to hear Asti's teachings. The girl had even shed tears.

Al is the same, the man did not cry. Only, his face looks so sad. Maybe touched by Asti's words.

Al looked at the small sobbing Kinza. I don't know why his heart hurts. How can love grow, if Al keeps torturing Kinza? Al always treated Kinza improperly. "I'm sorry, Kinza." Inner Al ogre.

Al rubbed Kinza's back gently, he couldn't see Kinza crying. Al was sad to make it.

"Remember Yangti's message, Nduk. Never hate anyone, let alone hate our own parents. Remember, Nduk, this is all God's plan. We cannot refuse, let alone choose. God unites you in a way you don't like, but believe me, God knows what's best for you.

If you guys are fighting, one of them should be able to quell. If Al is fire, Kinza must be water. And vice versa. Act like a husband and wife, even if it is difficult. But Yangti is sure, everything will be easy if you try each other. Take care of the family's good name, don't make them sad. Before acting, Yangti hopes you think first.

May your hearts be moved. Indeed, Allah is the One who turns the hearts of men upside down. So do we." Asti continued at length. It's getting sicker.

"Don't cry, Nduk. Make this as a reference for your life. Kinza got it, right?" asti added softly.

Kinza nodded slowly. Her lips felt faint to speak.

"yeah, Yangti. Thank you for everything, Kinza promised, Kinza will follow all the words of Yangti. Kinza will be a patient man, Kinza will also be a good wife. Please pray for Kinza always." said Kinza while kissing Asti's hand.

"Sure, Nduk. The Yangti prayer will always be with you."

"Son, Al. Please take good care of Kinza, guide him to the right path. Yangti know, Nak Al is really a person who is kind and gentle" continued Asti.

"Ready, Yangti." replied Al while kissing Asti's hand, alternating with Kinza. After that, embrace each other.

"Yes, you guys get some rest. Tomorrow morning you must go to Yogyakarta. Yangti doesn't want Kinza too Al tired." Asti's over quick.

The three of them according. The two headed straight for the upper room. Still the same, their drama is still running, until no one realizes.

Kinza went into the room with shaky steps. His clasped hands are still held by Al. Something was strange, they were already in the room. But, why didn't Al take off his hand grip on Kinza's arm?

"Sister, let alone, this is in the room." said Kinza slowly.

Al direct rakagapan. His behavior is very strange, like a thief who was caught red-handed.

"Sorry." reply Al clumsy while removing his hand.

"I want to rest, if Brother wants to sleep downstairs, I've prepared the carpet. Later stay in the tide." baju Kinza while moving to bed. But Kinza's steps came to a halt as a hand flushed him away.

"I want to sleep on top." said Al Flat.

"Sister, am I sleeping under that?" cynical Kinza judes.

"No, you both slept with me. Tomorrow we travel a long way, can get sick if you sleep on the floor." Al flat alibi.

"It's up to you, brother. I'm sleepy, tired, want to sleep." said Kinza lazy. Deep down, Kinza was nervous. His heart was beating faster than usual. But, as much as possible the girl hid her nervousness.

Kinza climbed onto the bed, followed by Al who was lying next to her. The girl turned her back on Al, she didn't even know Al's sleeping position.

Their distance was quite far, there was a barrier also in the middle of them. But somehow, the nervousness more and more spread throughout Kinza's body.

Kinza looked riled up, he even found it difficult to close his eyes.

Slowly but surely, the girl turned her body around. He found Al asleep while facing Kinza. Her usual face is judes, jutek, cold and flat. Now, it looks soft. His breathing is regular. Kinza liked this position, he could freely stare at Al's peaceful face while asleep.

"So Al is sleeping? How much cepet?" Kinza muttered.

"Try my sister's face always like this. Do not put a flat face, judes, and cold. In this case, Brother looks more handsome. I swear I'm not lying, Brother is handsome, really." said Kinza in a soft voice. The girl continued to stare at Al's face fixedly.

"Ah, well, why would I pay attention to him. Don't have a crush, please don't let Kinza like it." over Kinza quick. Why was he even able to praise Al like that? Why could she easily forget the pain Al gave her. "Plis Kinza, don't be a cheap woman." Kinza protested inwardly.

Kinza then changed his sleeping position to recumbent. He stared at the ceiling of the room. Really, it's better than having to look Al in the face.

Until without Kinza knowing, it turns out Al has not fallen asleep. The man felt the same nervousness. Al even heard all the words that came out of Kinza's sweet lips. Al know, somehow his heart warmed when he heard the stupid ramblings of Kinza.

Al's smile was imprinted clearly, slowly the man opened his eyes. Al could clearly see Kinza's face that looked riled up. The girl looks cute and adorable. Al likes, he likes to see Kinza nervous over him. Al feels victorious over Kinza.

"It's so pretty." stammer Al in the heart.
