Azlina shakes. I am used to hearing the man praise himself. In fact, Alvaro shamelessly sometimes equates himself as a famous public figure loved by teenagers today, making Azlina so anxious with the behavior of her husband.
"Yes, just a little. I am beautiful a lot."
"really? Here I look!"
Azlina lowered her head, asking Alvaro what he meant. However, it is not Alvaro if he does not take advantage of the opportunity by pulling the girl's neck to lower her head.
One kiss on the lips is enough to make therapy shock for Azlina. The girl hit Alvaro on the shoulder for starting to kiss him again. "We are still husband and wife. I want to kiss you every day."
Alvaro removed both of his hands from Azlina's neck, letting the woman re-establish her head. "It shouldn't be! You can't be that way."
Azlina immediately raised her legs, sliding her body back to the middle of the bed. The woman chose to sleep on her back and let Alvaro himself down there.
Not staying still, Alvaro turned off the room lights, then followed him by sleeping right beside Azlina, hugging the woman from behind while immersing her face in the broken hair.
"Don't hug!" Azlina's hand immediately released Alvaro's hand hug on her stomach. But the man hugged her even tighter.
"Let's still husband and wife, I want to hug you every day."
"You're a bitch!"
"Yes, I know. And you secretly like this shitty attitude, don't you?"
Azlina. In the depths of his heart he liked Alvaro's attitude like this, but he was afraid that one day he would miss the man who would soon be stalking him. Reversing the body, Azlina faced Alvaro and simultaneously the man shifted his body slightly away in order to see the woman's face.
"Sister!" Azlina's outstretched hand touched Alvaro's cheek, moving it gently towards the jaw. The man closed his eyes when the wife's soft hand rubbed his face. "I'm afraid I'll miss you someday."
Alvaro opened his eyes, not expecting Azlina to say that to him. For a moment the two fell silent to look at each other. There is no speech or movement, only the gaze and the mind that continues to speak, asking for their true feelings.
When Azlina took her hand off Alvaro's face, the man held her back. Alvaro knowingly kissed Azlina's palm for the first time that he had previously used to wipe the man's face.
The wind blew the flowers that were blooming in Azlina's heart. His gaze did not escape the slightest from the face with a firm jaw and sharp nosed in front of him.
Azlina closed her eyes as soon as Alvaro kissed her forehead. The gentle attitude of the man will surely be greatly missed when they part later. Will he be able to pass through, away from the man he has been seeing for months as his protector and guardian?
"I love you, I love you so much." Alvaro whispered after releasing his lips on Azlina's forehead. The girl looks teary, dripping a clear crystal that then soaks her cheeks.
If he could replace Almeera, maybe his mind wouldn't be this hard. He had tried to fortify the heart, but the man had instead let go of the fortress with his gentle demeanor.
I hope that. That was all Azlina wanted. I hope he's okay when he's not with Alvaro anymore. Forget the man with the short memories they went through, replacing them with other more beautiful and pleasant memories.
Azlina began to close her eyes as Alvaro's hands hugged her tightly, stroking her long hair as well as her back. Azlina will surely miss when she is not with him anymore.
...***...
The exam is finally over today. All the children seemed to be cheering happily, as if the heaviest burden of life had been blown away when the test had ended. They forget that the real test is when the results of the school exam are announced.
Lulu pats Azlina on the shoulder, taking her home from school soon.
"Go home?" Azlina packed her writing utensils, then put them in a bag.
"You want to mall first? Go straight home!" Lulu waited for Azlina to finish packing, but the girl suddenly remembered something. "Tomorrow your birthday, huh? There's gotta be a date with the Eagle."
Azlina shook her head while smiling. Holding her school bag, the girl moved from her seat.
"Elang there's a tournament out of town tomorrow."
"It's a shame." Lulu shows a sad face, but does not make Azlina affected. It seems like there's nothing special about his birthday this time, except ....
Azlina suddenly remembered Alvaro's words. The man clearly said that he wanted to celebrate Azlina's birthday together, spending one special night with her. What does Alvaro mean?
Will the man claim his rights after the age of Azlina is nineteen? How does it feel to do that? It's gonna hurt a lot, isn't it?
Azlina hurriedly shook her head, letting her dirty thoughts leave her head immediately.
"Why, Na?"
"I'll celebrate with my family." A smile finally showed it to Lulu. "They must have been a surprise for me."
"Ih, so happy so you. Got a guy as cool as an Eagle, handsome brothers, handsome Om, handsome brother. Why are you surrounded by handsome men, anyway? So envious, deh!"
Azlina just laughed at Lulu's words. "It's sustenance, Lu. Don't be jealous, yeah!"
The two laughed after talking about it, then left the classroom simultaneously.
