Exchanging Bride

First Night of Sleeping Both (1)

Aldi was laying down in his bedroom. But he still could not stop thinking about the words Mother of the orphanage.

'Am I in love with Kiara? Why haven't I thought about this before'

Aldi put both his hands under his head and stared at the ceiling of his room.

"Simplek" Kiara entered their room.

Aldi had just realized that tonight they were going to sleep in the same room and bed for the first time.

"Not sleeping, Al" Sapa Kiara.

"Wait for you." Answer Aldi briefly.

"Is there anything you want to talk about? How come tumben's waiting for me."

"Did I ever wait for you before I went to bed?" Aldi is starting to get a bit emotional.

"Never."

"Oh yeah."

"Yes, we never sleep together. Waiting to sleep."

"You expect us to sleep together?"

Kiara did not expect Aldi to ask this question. Kiara was silent for a while.

"You're really hoping, Ra?" Aldi used Kiara's residence to refute his question. Aldi now got up from the fall and walked up to Kiara who was still near the entrance of the room.

"Al, what do you want." Kiara is approached by Aldi

"I want you to answer my question. Heard the answer closer than your mouth." Aldi was already right in front of Kiara.

"I don't want to answer." Kiara turned her face away from Aldi.

"don't turn your face away from me, Ra" Aldi's fingertips turned Kiara's face toward him slowly and gently.

Aldi brought his forehead closer to Kiara's forehead slowly. While Kiara widened her eyes to see their closeness that was increasingly distant. But Kiara couldn't come up with any protest. Kiara is pounding.

"What do you expect from our relationship, Ra." Aldi asked him while closing his eyes while their foreheads were still touching.

"I'm..." Kiara had never thought about this. Kiara also thought, 'What do I want?'

"Have you ever thought of living alone without me by your side?" Aldi who understands that Kiara himself never thought of this as he turned to ask the opposite.

"Never." Kiara answered directly without needing to think again. Staring into Aldi's eyes that had originally been closed now was looking at Kiara with gentleness.

"Are you happy during your days with me?"

"Of course, Al. I'm happy to be by your side."

"May I hug you, Ra?"

Kiara did not answer the question, but landed her hands on Aldi's waist.

Aldi hugged Kiara tightly. Aldi has found the answer to Mother's question.

"She, be patient a little longer. There are many things I want to share with you. But not now. Just wait a minute, Ra."

Kiara was confused by what Aldi wanted. Does this have anything to do with yesterday's lunch with his ex?

"You want to, right? Answer, Ra."

"Yes, Al. I'll wait for you to share what you mean."

"Can we sleep hugging like this?" Aldi is addicted to the soothing scent of Kiara.

"Aren't you going to get hot?"

"The AC can be turned on."

"There's no AC in this room."

Aldi feels ridiculous. Why did he answer so well.

At that instant Aldi released his embrace from Kiara and became embarrassed.

"Aren't you hot, Ra?"

"No. It's not too hot." His face exposed Kiara's lies. On Kiara's forehead already appeared small sweat that Aldi could see.

"Sleep yuk." Aldi clasped Kiara's hand and directed her to a bed wide enough for them to sleep on.

Aldi rubbed Kiara's cheek after her woman sat on the bed and pulled out a blanket to cover half her body.

Kiara's heart was pounding again.

"R. If you get any news about me from someone else, don't believe it right away." Aldi still rubbed Kiara's cheek.

"Will there be bad news?" Kiara stared innocently.

"I wish there wasn't" Aldi played a piece of Kiara's hair that covered part of her cheek.

"Then don't worry about it."

"You haven't fulfilled my wish, Kiara."

"Yes, Al. I'll crosscheck any news about you that I get from anyone else." Kiara smiled.

"Not only those from others. You should also ask me if there's anything unpleasant you see from what I'm doing."

"Example?" Kiara suspects Aldi knew about the photo Aldi Kiara got.

"Picture lunch with another woman yesterday."

"Kok you can tell," Kiara was surprised. But there was a sense of disbelief running through his heart.

"We just knew each other. There will be some things that will disrupt our relationship in the future. Please talk about it if it bothers you, Ra."

"Where do you know I got that lunch photo?"

"wait. Don't answer me yet, Al." Kiara stopped Aldi who was about to explain Kiara's question. Still thinking, Kiara continued "You're a programmer, right? You spying on me? There's an app you've installed on my phone!"

"Of course not." Aldi immediately replied

"Then how do you know the contents of my message!" Kiara looked angry.

"Kiara, listen to me. Lower your emotions first. Take a good look at what I'm going to say."

Kiara was silent for a long time staring at Aldi. Trying to find the radiance of lies and honesty in his gaze. Then take a deep breath and exhale it a few times.

"All right, explain it to me"

"Before you need to know that I can't explain everything. And it's all about me. All this I'm doing for you too, it's not time you knew about all these things. Okay?" Aldi nodded his head asking for approval.

Kiara hesitantly followed Aldi's desire to nod, "OK"

"I was signing an important file yesterday that no one else should know about. Therefore I covered it with lunch with the men."

"So that woman was just a stranger in your plans?" Kiara could only focus on the woman who had lunch with her husband. No matter what Aldi does there.

"Actually neither is a stranger." Aldi scratched his head which was not itchy and somewhat misbehaved.

Seeing that, Kiara felt that something was strange. Let's not let the hunch be right. There's something between Aldi and that woman. Kiara's chest started to clench again.

"Explain who this woman is, Al" Dada Kiara began to get sick despite trying to keep talking to Aldi.

"He used to be my partner when I was abroad, Ra. But he betrayed my trust and took the program we both had for several years into his own."

"You've known him for years?"

"Yes, since I was in high school."

"Have you guys ever dated?"

The topic that Aldi had been avoiding was even asked directly by Kiara. Aldi could not dodge it again this time.

"Yes, we had a date."

Kiara closed her eyes. Trying to suppress her heartache.

"R. I no longer had any feelings for him other than hatred. He's a traitor, Ra."

"If he doesn't run away with your hard work, will you still like that woman?"

Aldi just stared at Kiara. Trying to understand what Kiara felt. Question after question Kiara was a bit unreasonable. Kiara can usually think logically. What possible?

"Ra, are you jealous?" Aldi's question this time made Kiara dumbfounded.
