I'm a Savings Woman

29. Warming

The elevator that Arka and Alia were riding on stopped above the tower. Precisely 40 meters above sea level. It was quite stressful, but Arka's curiosity overcame everything. Arka really wants to try bungy jumping it now.

“Arka, I beg you not to do.” Alia.

“You want to do it alone with me?” Reply Ark.

“No. I don't want to do it and I don't want to see you do it either.” Alia.

“Calm down, this is not going to be anything. I'll just jump, after which everything is fine.” Arka tried to convince Alia.

But Alia continued to hold Arka's hand, when two officers were busy wearing various equipment to ensure the security of Arka.

“It’s safe right?” (It's safe, isn't it) Arka told one of the crew members who was putting a rope around her waist.

“Sure Mr's. We always do the best.” (Of course, sir. We always do well) replied the crew confidently.

Once all the tools are installed perfectly. Arka walked towards the edge of the tower. He set his eyes down. There is a large pool that must be very deep. From where it stands, Arka can also see the blue sea and sand beaches that look gold because of exposure to sunlight.

“Arka don't jump.” Alia.

Arka turned towards Alia who was a few meters behind her. Alia must not be too close to the edge they are stepping on because it is too dangerous.

“Tenace. Everything's gonna be fine. Believe what they say." Said Arka trying to convince Alia.

“Tell her I will be safe.” (Tell him that I'll be fine)

Arka threw her gaze at a crewman who was currently holding a large rope around her waist.

“Just believe us. No problem it’s ok.” (Trust us. It doesn't matter, it's fine)

The crew glanced at Alia and spoke in a reassuring tone.

“I believe you. I’m just fear. I don’t wanna my hubby to jump.” (I believe you. I'm just scared. I don't want my husband to jump) Alia replied in a trembling voice, as she was about to cry.

“Hei baby. It’s ok. I will be safe.” (Hey baby, it's okay. I'll be fine)

Arka smiled towards Alia who still looked anxious.

“Ok Mister, your turn.” (Alright sir, it's your turn)

An intsruktur began to give aba-aba. He counted down from ten to one.

“Three... Two..”

“STOP..”

Arka turned her body before she jumped down.

“Dear do not do..”

Alia covered her face with both hands. Arka could see her shoulders shaking from crying. Isakan Alia sounded clear, making Arka's heart suddenly melt because of it.

'So scared would he be if I did this?'

Alia asked the instructor to help Arka release all the equipment she had used. After everything was released, Arka immediately approached Alia who was still sobbing, covering her face with both hands.

“Already, forgive me.”

Arka pulled Alia into her arms. Aria saw some instructors who watched as they could only smile as Arka rubbed his wife's back trying to calm Alia who still looked frightened.

“Already. I wouldn't do it if you wouldn't let me.” Arka.

“I beg you not to do that. I can't see it.” Reply Alia.

“Alright, darling. Ii'm sorry. Don't cry like this, I'm so confused how to stop you.” Arka.

Arka continued to rub the back of Alia who was still crying in her arms.

'Yeah, failed. I really don't do bungy jumping.'

They both came back down using elevators from a height of 40 meters. Arka saw there was relief from Alia's eyes and all her worries just disappeared. Alia was already starting to be able to smile and return to acting as usual.

*************

Alia glanced at the clock that looked on her phone. It's 17:50, which means the sun will be sinking soon. Alia did not want to waste any time and immediately pulled Arka's hand to follow in her footsteps.

They both sit on the sand of the beach enjoying the breeze that feels very comfortable.

Arka straightened her legs, while Arka bent her legs.

“I'm sorry for the crybaby. Though I told you I won't act like a child anymore.” Alia started the conversation, making Arka look at her then smile.

“It's okay. I'm even happy. There comes a time when being a crybaby is the thing that makes me feel good. I know you're really worried about me and don't want me to do something that could harm myself, right? Even though I'm sure it's harmless but seeing you as hysterical as that, I can't jump just like that either.” Arka.

“I'm just scared. I don't want to see you jump from such an unorthodox height.“ Alia looked down.

“Alright, I won't do it again. At least when in front of you I won't do it again.”

“What? So you'd still do it if you weren't with me?” Alia asked directly looking at Arka.

“Ahaha, it seems so." Reply Arka laughed.

“Aish, you really suck." Alia said in an annoyed tone.

'Since then, he had spoken at length, but finally he kept on whistling to do that ridiculous thing. It sucks.' Alia grumbled inwardly.

Arka inched from her position, now she was closer to Alia. He straightened his legs parallel to Alia's feet, then wrapped his hands around Alia's waist.

They both enjoyed the sun that was already barely visible. The orange color it creates looks very beautiful. And it's gonna be dark soon, because it's 18:30 now.

“Alia... Do you regret marrying me?” Ask Arka.

The question just came out of Arka's mouth. Alia turned her head and looked at Arka's eyes which were right next to her. Arka smiled gently at Alia. His handsome face looks more handsome because of the reflection of orange rays from the sun. Alia smiled back then dropped her head on Arka's shoulder. It was then that Arka tightened her embrace on Alia's waist.

“No. Not at all. I am happy to be married to you. The Madame Arka Wijaya. Wife of a great businessman Arka Wijaya. I will stay by your side and accompany you at all times. Until we can't see each other, because fate.“ Reply Alia.

“I'm glad to hear it, Mrs Wijaya.”

“I don't know what would happen to my life now, if you weren't my husband. But, why do you want to accept the matchmaking that our parents did?” Ask Alia.

“If I'm not your husband, that means you're not my wife either. My life would be different, and not fun like this. At that time I whistled loudly to refuse to marry again. I have no desire to get married after 4 years of the passing of my late Mama Dafa. All because I was afraid to start loving again. I was afraid that the same thing would happen again. I'm afraid that I can't love others like I love Nabila. I was afraid that the events that happened to Nabila would repeat and make me back heartbroken. I was afraid that if I got married, Dafa would not get full affection from Mom. But the truth is not like that. It turns out that everything wasn't as bad as I thought. Everything is fine to this day. You are a good mother to Dafa." Arka.

“Then do you also regret marrying me? At the beginning of our marriage, you even still loved Nabila."

“Have it, don't ever talk about it again. Forget everything, and now we start a new life. Being a happy husband and wife, and a good parent to Dafa.”

“Do you love me?” Ask Alia.

“Very, love you so much."

"Since when?" Ask Alia again.

"I also don't know for sure when these feelings came about. I sure love you a lot."

"Really?”

“I'm serious. I love you so much, I don't want you to walk away from me for a second." Reply Ark.

"You're overreacting. But anyway I love you so much and I don't know when that feeling existed. I'm happy with you." Alia.

“Thanks, baby. Stay by my side, now and then. Proud to be Lady Wijaya. To be my wife." Reply Ark.

“Arka, I love you.”

“I love you too, love you so much.”

Arka clasped Alia's cheek with one hand and then kissed her forehead gently. Arka could feel the sincerity of every single thing Alia told her. Everything feels so much fun.

*************

After returning from the beach, enjoy dinner. Arka and Alia immediately returned to the room. At the moment Arka is taking a bath, while Alia herself has taken a bath before and does not know what she should do now.

Alia plays her sleeping dress button. White sleeveless nightgown with three buttons in front of her. Not too short, only 10 inches above the knee, there is a light blue motif that is circular at the waist and below it is accentuated with lace in the same color.

Alia was really nervous. His mind wanders everywhere. Alia found it hard to focus on the television screen that lit up in front of her.

Alia picked up her sling bag lying on the table, then reached into the cell phone inside. Alia misses Dafa very much and wants to hear his voice right now.

Alia looked at the clock on her phone screen. Hours 20.30. This means at home about 11pm.

'Dafa must have slept. Then call Mia's sister. But I better send him a message first, before calling.' Alia said in her heart.

Sister Mia, are you asleep? I want to talk to you!

Alia put back the phone she was holding onto the table. A few moments later his phone vibrated signaling an incoming call. Alia had previously set her phone number to make international calls.

“Halo!"

“Alia, you haven't slept?”

“Sister Mia, I miss you.”

“Em, I miss you too. What time is it there now?”

“Around half hour 9 nights.”

“Where is my sister-in-law. Is he beside you too?”

“No, Arka is taking a shower. Today we are exploring this area. Brother Mia and Brother Herry should come here as well later. Because this place is really beautiful."

“Really? I'm so jealous of you both."

“Em, it's our second night here. It feels very pleasant.”

“Then what about the first night there, did it work?” Ask Mia.

“Ahm... Ka's... Sister Mia, what do you mean?”

“Come on, my sister's grown up. Definitely understand what I mean.”

“No, nothing happened yesterday." Reply Alia nervously.

“Yang is right? Ah... Too bad.”

"Sister, don't talk about it now.”

“Hey, Come. You can do it. Rest assured your husband can do well." Said Mia with a giggle.

“I'm too scared Brother."

“Take it easy. Arka's a grown man. She had also been married before, so she knew how to do it. Arka won't make you lose your big dreams, baby.” Mia Say.

“Sister, I don't want to talk about it anymore." Reply Alia.

“Ah, you are this. I'm excited to see your story when I get back."

“Kakak.

“I can't wait for a fun story from you. Tell me if he's great when he does.” Said Mia again in a giggle.

“Kak, I'll hang up now. If Brother Mia keeps talking about it.” Alia's getting upset.

“Darling, why are you?” Ask Mia.

“Yes already... Byeh..”.

Alia immediately pressed the button to end the call. The conversation with Mia did not make Alia feel any better at all. Mia even made Alia become pounding.

'What does it mean to tell her greatness when she does it? Aish, there is-there alone.' said Alia in her heart.

“You why?” Ask Arka.

That heavy voice made Alia soar in shock. Alia immediately stood up when she saw Arka coming out of the bathroom.

Arka was already wearing her nightgown. Both of his hands were busy arranging his slightly wet hair.

“Ti... Ti's... No. gabe. Last time Brother Mia called me.” Alia said nervously.

“Really? What did he say?” Ask Arka.

“Ah does not exist. He didn't say anything." Reply Alia.

Alia slightly lost her concentration to answer Arka's question.

Arka walked over to Alia and then sat on the sofa right next to her. Alia was busy regulating the focus and dispelling any strange thoughts that were raging in her brain.

“You why? Nervous?” Ask Arka.

“Ahm.. Ti's... No. gabe. I just..”

Alia had not yet finished her words, Arka had already cut them off swiftly.

“Please, I'll slow down for tonight.”

“Aa.. What do you mean?”

“You're an adult baby, time doesn't understand.”

“Arka. I'm afraid to start.”

“Quiet darling. I'll start it.”

“What am I... mppppppph..”

Alia had not yet finished her sentence, Arka had already smothered her mouth with her lips.

'Why does he like to suddenly do this. Even when I opened my mouth to get the words out just now.'

Arka only briefly kissed Alia's lips, then immediately released her.

“Shut up, and enjoy everything."

Arka blinked one eye, then pushed Alia's shoulder onto the back of the sofa. Now the position of Alia half lying down and Arka right on it. Arka's right hand was coiled around Alia's waist while her left hand, clutching Alia's neck.

Alia had a little trouble breathing because she was too nervous. His feelings became incomparable with their position like that.

“Kurasa too... um, stick.”

Alia tried to get the words out of her mouth, but instead the sentence came out.

'Aish, embarrassing.'

“Indeed like this dear. I can feel your heartbeat from my chest sticking to your chest. The most fun position to kiss. Don't you feel the sensation, huh?” Arka.

“A... i.. I only.”

“Sssstt..

Arka placed her index finger on Alia's lips, until Alia closed her mouth suddenly and stopped her words.

“You know why I love kissing you when you're talking?”

“Ti... no, why?”

“Because that's when you opened your mouth. So I can do a kiss in.”

“How can you understand everything..... well?”

“You forgot that I was previously married. So I've gotten used to this.”

“Aish, you are indeed.. hhhmmmppp.

For the umpteenth time the Arcs again attacked Alia's lips.

Alia begins to get used to Arka's sudden kiss, although it takes a bit of a shock.

Arka's lips moved eloquently sweeping Alia's lips. I've*tnya many times.

Alia can't resist it if it's like this. Alia could only drown in feelings she could not describe. While doing so, it felt like they were completely drunk and drowned in it.

The man who was right on top of Alia's body, seemed to have vented all her desires. She continued to kiss Alia's lips without giving Alia the slightest gap to breathe.

Alia closed her eyes tightly as she felt Arka's wild hand move from the nape of her neck. Arka moved her hands shrewdly to open one by one the white sleeping dress that Alia wore.

“Engh... Sa... darling..”

Alia could not help the sound that came out of her mouth as Arka lowered her kiss to the neck. Then it spread to Alia's upper chest which opened. This kind of situation made Alia completely insane.

'Everything feels... Ah I don't know, I can't express it with words.'

Seriate....
