Let Time
The Part 13
Alarm sounds on Zara phone rang, this time Arkan who first woke up from his sleep. Arkan smiles when he realizes that this late sleep hugging his wife is his new hobby.
"Heii woke up." said Arkan speaking in Zara's ear their sleeping position every night was almost always the same as Zara sleeping on her back against Arkan and Arkan hugging Zara from behind.
"Honey waking up." said Arkan as he blew Zara's ear nipple. Finally on the second call Zara really opened her eyes.
"Yeah kettle? Tumben woke me up first." said Arkan.
"Isa.. I took a shower first" said Zara, still reluctant to open her eyes.
"You're the first woman usually longer" Arkan said. Not wanting to argue long Zara rushed to take a bath first. Zara walked slowly towards the bathroom Arkan who saw her grimacing along. Almost 30 minutes Zara just came out of the bathroom. Didn't wait long Arkan went straight into the bathroom. Zara prepared equipment for their congregational dawn prayers. They are now sitting facing each other at the prayer place.
"Zara, after coming home from here. I'd like to take you to move house."
"Where to move house?" zara said with a shocked and confused expression. "To my house." replied Arkan.
Zara is silent for some reason Zara's memory returns when Alisya tells her about Arkan.
Flashback...
After the incident Arkan mentioned the name of the woman Zara did not know. Zara didn't want to be bad to think she was willing to ask Alisya.
"Sorry, brother, if we didn't tell you this from the beginning. So gini Abang was able to recognize the candidate to mama papa before mama papa told you about your matchmaking. That was a long time ago about 2 years ago. Well at that time papa mama okay okay just the same choice brother. Then we plan to come to bed him at his house. Eh yes arrived when we were ready for this and that he arrived suddenly ngabarin brother if he is not ready to marry he still wants to continue his education he also still has a dream to so career woman. He told her that it could be discussed later. But he still does not want, yes roughly the hell maybe you could say he canceled unilaterally yes. After that already every mom papa asked brother always answer do not know brother lost contact with him. Though the brother can be said to have been totally ready to marry her brother even ready to make a home for them." Alisya speech stopped he saw Zara, Zara, Zara seemed to seriously listen even though an indistinct flat expression could not be deciphered.
"So yes. Brother is not dating him just that they know each other because yes they are a faculty after college. But honestly, sister is not because Ica anymore in front of sister. Honestly Ica does not like him, because Ica knows very well he is also a cycle of friends with Ica like the study together yes although not familiar only as small as say hello if you meet. Ica doesn't want to fuck him up but he does..."
"Sttt already yes Ca, just do not waste time opening the disgrace of people let alone his fellow Muslims" said Zara stopped Alisya's speech.
"Astagfirullah yes brother. The bottom of a woman's mouth is the spirit of ghibah." said Alisya while paring his own mulit.
"Sister why? How did she arrive about him? You're talking about him, aren't you?" ask Alisya.
"Haha, don't you just ngigo aja. Again kangen times." replied Zara lightly.
"Well, brothers. I hope they don't see you again. Kasian is the same brother if you want the incident to happen" said Alisya
"Hey Zara what's wrong with you?" arkan said.
"Darling why are you?" arkan said again while rubbing Zara's head. The second Arkan call managed to get Zara out of his mind.
Flashback..
Zara shook her head...
"Why?" ask Zara confused.
"You why? I asked instead of dreaming. You're not ready to live alone with me? If it's not ready, okay, we can delay" Arkan said.
"Mom.o.n't you" said Zara nervously.
"Continue?"
"May Zara ask you something similar?" zara asked doubtfully.
"Please." replied Arkan briefly.
"Sorry before that Zara sassy. But what is the house that mas mean or the house that we will occupy is the same house with the house that we prepared for the first lady? If Zara doesn't want Mas, Zara chooses to stay at her home. Because how the house was once intended for other women. And it is not impossible that later the mas will remember again at that time." Zara painstakingly string the word so as not to offend Arkan. But still he said it was very precise stabbing in Arkan's heart. Arkan seemed to take a long breath.
"So that's what you doubt? Do you know everything about me and me?" ask Arkan.
"Some of it is possible. I'm sorry that Zara asked Alisya when she mentioned someone else's name to Zara" Zara said, looking down.
"Do I need to tell you everything about my life?" ask Arkan seriously.
"Don't be sorry Zara was just curious. Masalalu mas let it be a life lesson for the mas itself it seems Zara is not entitled to know because Zara did not know the time when it happened" said Zara.
"Okay, but if there's something you want to know, you just ask me" Arkan said. Zara just nodded.
"And about the house. I used to prepare a house for that woman. But the house I have been selling for a long time and now what I want to live with you is a new house I bought the land a year ago and just finished the construction process about a month ago. I honestly didn't plan this house for us but somehow but everything feels right. The house was finished shortly after we got married. I don't think there's anything wrong with this house being a home for our little family" Arkan said. Zara looked at Arkan inside as if she was trying to figure out whether Arkan was lying to her or not.
"I'm not lying. If you don't believe me, you can ask Mama or maybe you can ask papa. Because papa also helped me a little to design the house" Arkan said. Zara lowered her head she was ashamed because her behavior could be read by Arkan.
"Maybe we should take a look at his house. If you like, we can immediately live if you don't like we can renovate again or I can make it again in another place" Arkan said.
"You deserve to. More than that, too, is entitled. Because you're my wife" Arkan said. Arkan brought his face closer to Zara's face a few more centimeters will reach his destination hp Zara rang.
"There's a hehe phone." Zara immediately turned her face and reached for the phone at the table behind her. Not sure where the courage of the embarrassed and upset Arkan chose to hide his face in the neck of Zara who was still wrapped in mucena.
"Sabiya nih mas want to talk?" Arkan just shook his face which was still on Zara's neck.
On the VC
"Assalamualaikum ateu.." Sapa Biya from there.
"Waalaikumsalam beautiful. How did the tumben wake up?"
"Biya nagapain the phone auntyu disturb tau" said Arkan pura angrily.
"That's it." said Zara. While there Sabiya was glass.
"Eh dear sorry about her yes. Om is kidding. Biya tau tau tante Zara kangen tau Biya" said Zara.
"Biya is also kangen ateu Zala. But the same thing about Alkan mah not wlee" Biya said as he stuck out his tongue.
"Hahaha aja aja later om go home Biya not om love by yaa" said Arkan who now has upheld his seat beside Zara.
"Ih Mother huaaaaa huaaa" said Biya calling her Mother crying.
"Well, why the hell bother him to keep his mouth on" Zara told Arkan.
Finally Video Call ended by Ica who was angry at Arkan because the morning had made a hassle.
"Why do you want to upset me too?" ask Arkan to look at Zara. Unwilling to respond Zara chose to rise from her seat and finish her prayer.
The third day in Gili Trawangan Arkan invites Zara to a culinary tour after two days earlier enjoying the beach and natural scenery. They explore the cafe cafe scattered on the beach. It seems that culinary tourism is not a suitable thing because basically they are both open people who like to eat believe how to want a new culinary tour to eat in one cafe with one menu only already felt satiated.
"Yes, don't fill up Zara" said Zara. "Hmm what else do you want?" ask Arkan. "We're riding on the beach." Zara bargained. "Can you?" ask Arkan not to believe it. "Ih can know riding is one of the recommended sports" replied Zara. "But it seems less suitable now it's already scorching" Arkan said. Zara pursed her lips feeling annoyed because her desire was not obeyed by Arkan. "Its hard is still there tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. How about if today we rent a cidomo aja we go around the gili trawangan how?" bargain Arkan. "What's that cidomo?" ask Zara. "A kind of andong but here it is called cidomo is one of the vehicles that are allowed here. There can be no motorized vehicles here so the vehicles are just bicycles and cidomo" Arkan explained.
One of these days they spend time by traveling around the island using Cidomo to see the beauty of gili trawangan from various angles. Arkan also did not waste time to photograph natural objects that spoil the camera lens.
Arkan and Zara are now the same sitting on the beach just as silent enjoying the view.
"Zara.." call Arkan in silence.
"Hm."Zara answered with a growl.
"I want us to start all over" Arkan said.
"Mas mean?" ask Zara. Arkan breathed in his gaze still straight ahead watching the ocean.
"I read in a book. If marriage is not based on love, grow it and keep it growing. Because love has to be cultivated and fought for. I want us to be just as trying to grow it" Arkan said.
"Everything is not bad if we want to be equally accepting and open with each of us. The proof is only a few days here we can create a good relationship with a beautiful moment. I think we just need a lot of quality time to understand each other" Arkan said.
"Zara agreed with what I said. It turns out mas can yes also yes talk sweet about love. Zara thought it was a cold man, an authoritarian, poor expression, irritable speech and word-saving." said Zara speaking lightly unaware that Arkan had been watching her.
"But honestly Zara is tired of hearing you always say a promise will try, try and try. Okay Zara appreciate it and Zara says thanks. But I'm sorry Zara is no longer a child who when imitated sweet promise will immediately be happy extraordinary" said Zara.
"You mean?" ask Arkan confused.
"Look, now mas promised much the same Zara. But no one can guarantee an hour ahead, tomorrow, another month what promise will remain? I don't have much to promise to convince Zara. Zara just needs to see evidence if someday there's something whether it's mass or a new problem in this marriage mas or Zara can still be just as enduring as this promise of life." said Zara.
"I'll prove it." Arkan replied for sure.
"Including if the woman is always coming again? Would you stick with the one you're working on right now?" ask Zara.
"Why do you always talk about that? What do I need to do to make you believe that it's all just a matter of time that I'm trying to forget" Arkan said.
"Zara wants to see Almira" Zara said for sure.

See You...
