Alina stared at a beautiful ring right in front of her eyes. The feelings are really mixed and this is really like a dream. Alina pinched her own cheek to make sure that she was not dreaming.
And funny, when he was so tense and confused how to face Heru, suddenly Ghazi cried with his strength. The awkward atmosphere immediately turned into a funny panic. At the same time Heru and Alina grabbed Ghazi's crying body while stomping his legs and hands.
"Let me just Mas.", said Alina unhappily.
Heru immediately pulled his hand awkwardly.
"Please Ghazi first, the answer can wait..."
Alina steals the opportunity to hold Ghazi while walking around, so that she can temporarily avoid Heru. Alina cradled Ghazi until slowly the baby calmed down and fell asleep in her cradle. Ghazi was sleepy. From a distance Alina could see Heru approaching towards her and Ghazi. Alina was wrong again.
"How's Ghazi? Is there anything I can help you with?", Heru asked so close to Alina.
"It's okay. It seemed like Ghazi was just sleepy and was now asleep..."
"Good then, how about we eat first, it's already quite noon and you have to eat often so that Ghazi's nutritional needs are met..."
It turned out that Heru had already cleaned up all their belongings, had even prepared a stroler for Ghazi to sleep.
"Yes, it seems like eating a good idea..."
They then walked to a restaurant on the beach.
Alina and Heru ordered their own food, while Ghazi was still sleeping on his stroller.
They just keep quiet, busy with each other until then the order comes.
"Welcome to Alina" said Heru before he began to pray and eat his food.
Alina ordered a full mix of rice and avocado juice. While Heru chose seafood fried rice and mineral water. They were busy with their own food. The awkward atmosphere was clearly felt between the two.
After finishing eating, Heru spoke again.
"Alina I'm waiting for your answer, but if you're not ready to answer it, you can think about it carefully.if there's no other man in your heart.I hope you will accept me..."
"Mas Heru. I. I feel very inappropriate for you..."
Alina finally spoke with a stammer.
"Alina I really love you, you are a woman and a good mother, and I would be very lucky to have you. Please think carefully, I wait for your answer tomorrow.now let's go home, pity that Ghazi is exhausted..."
Without waiting for an answer Alina Heru stepped up while pushing Stroler Ghazi also brought Alina's belongings.
On the way home, they kept quiet. Heru turned on classical music and Ghazi slept soundly in Alina's arms.
It seemed that Alina really had to think about that answer.
Flashbacks.
Alina has known Heru since she was a child. In the eyes of Alina Heru was the figure of an excellent Big Brother, even more so than Alshad, his own biological sister
Heru could always comfort her and protect her, also always succumbing to her. Unlike Alshad who often fought him. That's why Alina feels comfortable being friendly with Heru.
As a teenager, Alina began to get to know the world and the outside environment. Alina knows that Heru still comes to her house and plays with her brother Alshad. But Alina was never interested in joining. Because in the eyes of Alina her sisters are squeaky and boring. Alina prefers to spend time in the room or hang out with her friends rather than spending time with her brother.
But increasingly mature, Alina was transformed into a different figure. Alina then realized that she was not suitable to join the friends who only spent money for the hurrah. Alina reorganized her life, focused on education to maintain the good name of the family and achieve her goals. Alina also returned to being a gentle and intelligent woman, although her powerful nature as the youngest child remained attached. Some men tried to approach and take Alina's heart. But Alina was not interested and chose to stay focused on her school.
Until finally when Alina entered college, Alina again met with the figure of the brother she missed. Yes secretly Alina longs for Heru's presence which always makes her feel comfortable. But this time Alina saw Heru had turned into such a different figure. Heru is so handsome and charismatic. Later in the campus, Alina often heard the name Heru often become a subject of discussion, especially among women. Alina did not expect, that Heru had transformed into a idolized figure on his campus. Heru is a model student figure who is smart and active in student organizations, so that almost all students know Heru.
Even so, it turns out that Heru's attitude towards Alina remains unchanged. If you meet, Heru always greets Alina kindly. And it didn't take long for them to get back close. Still like before, Heru treated her very sweetly. Like an older sister who always relented, obey Alina's wishes and also spoil her. Alina enjoys their closeness and feels comfortable.
Until then there was a woman named Gladys who suddenly approached Alina.
"Familiar, my name is Gladys Heru's girlfriend..."
Greet Gladys while extending his hand to shake hands.
Alina looked at Gladys confusedly, not knowing the girl.
"Gue knows lately you've been hanging out with Heru, but as a fellow woman I hope you know the limits. I've been dating Heru for a long time and I've given him everything. I understand that my guy is cool and popular, so many girls who deletin him like lo. I hope you can understand my position and self-conscious to not be a actor in my relationship with Heru..."
Because of that, Alina finally decided to stay away from Heru slowly. Alina is not afraid, Alina just does not want to find trouble with anyone.
But the more avoidance Heru even closer, until then Heru even expressed feelings of love to him.
Perhaps, if not knowing that Heru had a lover, Alina would be happy and accept it. For all this time, for Alina there was no man who filled her heart like Heru. But Alina remembered what Gladys said. Alina does not want to be selfish and ruin Heru's relationship. Alina did not want to also interfere about Heru's personal affairs. It is enough to be friends like before. And Alina also did not want to damage the good relationship between Heru and his family. Suffice it to her Heru to be the figure of an older sister whom she admired, like all this time.
And Alina finally chose to establish a relationship with Dirga, as a distraction. But since establishing a relationship with Dirga, Alina feels her relationship with Heru becomes tenuous. Heru is like staying away from her and because of Dirga's possessive attitude, Alina can not freely meet Heru. After that from the news of the bird Alina heard that Gladys, the girl who once claimed to be Heru's girlfriend clashed with other girls for fighting over Heru. Though Heru actually does not admit the two and only consider them as friends. Yes so Heru who became an idol on campus, often got the attention of the girls. And Heru's good attitude sometimes makes them misunderstand.
Hearing that there was a hint of regret in Alina's heart. Even so Alina did not want to disturb Heru's life. Moreover, Alina knew very well Dirga's very possessive nature and would not allow her to be close to any man. Not because Alina was afraid that Dirga would be jealous, but Alina did not want Heru to get into trouble because of her.
But who would have thought, that it turned out that his relationship with Dirga was the beginning of all the misfortune in his life.
