I repeatedly persuaded Alana to talk to me, but it didn't work. Silence remained silent, not explaining the reason for her anger.
Two nights later, I heard him cry. I think what sound. My sleep that had fallen asleep, immediately woke up. The room was dark, quiet and gripping. I forced to look around me and then turned to Aluna, then I glanced at the clock on my phone, at two in the morning.
What made the girl cry this morning?
The first thing I did was of course focus the view of the source of the sound. I immediately sat down, watching the back that often turned my back, and at this moment, it shook violently, indicating that the owner was breaking violently to hold back his cry.
Worry made me get up and get closer. I dare to sit on the side of the bed.
"Al, why are you crying? What's up?" I asked softly as I felt the girl's back.
Aluna sat down and went into my arms. Her cry that had been held from the beginning, now broke deafening, echoing in the room.
I kept quiet, letting him spend the rest of the tears that maybe since then had been his intention to let out.
Aluna still did not answer. Keep crying while tightening his arms. My palm goes up and down on his back. I'm guessing maybe the girl got scared because the power went out.
"Ssssttt, don't be afraid, I'm here" I whispered.
Slowly Alana's crying stopped, only de*sahan's breathing began to be regular.
"Why you?"
"Why did the power go out?"
That means right, right, he's crying because the fear of the lights goes out.
"Here there are usually rolling power outages. Maybe this area is in the now. Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"Where have you been, anyway? Don't tell me to go to odd jobs again. Come home until night, when is the cave les?"
I feel guilty. Aluna was sitting on the porch waiting for me to come home. He thinks I work, but he's with Tania. I looked bad, like I was cheating on my husband.
"I'm sorry, yes," I said softly.
I don't know yet, Aluna still hugs me. I'm afraid that he'll hear my heart pounding so much. I thought, after she calmed down and did not cry anymore, Aluna would pull away, for real the girl still lingered in her arms, as if to be her favorite place right now.
"Must promise, if you go home for a long time, you must tell me!"
We were quiet long enough. Cuddling each other in the dark of night. Why do I expect that the electricity will go out until the light of day?
I felt the weight on my body getting heavier, it seemed that Aluna had fallen asleep. Half my heart urges to break down Aluna, and the other half wants Aluna to stay in her current position.

Rays of light entered into the room, penetrating, blinding the eyes. Slowly, I opened my eyeballs, glare, but still I forced them to stay open.
My wrist feels numb, I lyrics the burden that befalls. The face of Aluna who was still closed was so beautiful, both angels of heaven, even though I had never been to heaven.
I chose to quietly observe Aluna, instead of waking the girl up. I'm still not satisfied. And somehow every time I do that, I have to be ready to feel a heartbeat that works even faster.
I also don't remember when we lay together, as I recall, when I calmed her down, we still hugged her tightly. I could even still feel her body pressing down, clinging to my chest. The smell of her hair kept pulling me to put her lips over her head.
Aluna squirmed, as if she realized that I was watching her and she didn't like it. Our balls were against each other when Aluna opened her eyes. One second, one minute...
Aluna regained her consciousness and hurriedly withdrew, sitting down with a red hue on her cheek that was very clearly visible. Shame, that must be it.
"Why are you here? You want to take a chance, okay?"
Whahuh? So gini, the reward for my kindness calms him down? Accompany her all night and sacrifice my arm? Really not expecting.
"What opportunity? You don't remember crying last night? Just move, you hold it."
I saw her cheeks flushed and then looked down, speechless.
"Udah, sana. I'm gonna take a shower."
"Can, it's a holiday" I replied. Who knows, he forgot.
However, Aluna still chose to go down and get out of the room after picking up a new towel from the closet. I looked again at the bed where we spent the night together, it was too far away. I never thought about spending the night in one place.
"You're still here?!" He was surprised to find me still sitting on the edge of the bed. My eyes immediately turned to the other object in the room after being flabbergasted on the shoulder was smooth and unsettling.
"I-I want to take a shower, wait for you to come out of the bathroom," I replied clumsily. Who told him to get out of the bathroom just by wearing a towel. How when passing to the room, there are guests in the living room. I should advise him. No one else sees the smooth body.
