LOVE NARA

3.30. I'M SORRY, ALYA

"Al, may I have a minute before we take you home?"

Before driving forward, Ardi ventured to invite Alya to speak from heart to heart. There was something he needed to make sure of and he finished it immediately, before the day after he had to return home and stay away from the woman beside him at this time.

"What's wrong?" alya asked without looking at Ardi. Just keep staring out the window with a heart that starts pounding again.

"I want to talk about something important about the two of us, before I go home and can't see you again."

There was a tight feeling in Alya's chest when Ardi said that he would leave this city. The city reunited them after their last encounter in a sad atmosphere four months ago at Ardi's house.

"How, Al?" Ardi waited for Alya's reply impatiently.

"Do you have to now?" Alya was still hesitant to agree. His mind was still not calm after meeting with Riko this morning. She does not know if Ardi has found out about her ex-husband.

"Suppose you'll accompany me to dinner. Can't you?" Ardi did not care to be considered to impose the will this time. But for him, it was very important to speak seriously and deeply with the woman as soon as possible.

Not wanting to waste the time that continues to roll more and more night, Alya decided to comply with Ardi's request. He nodded his head and resigned himself to the man's invitation.

"I believe you won't do anything beyond our limits. You are a good man and a good father."

With a more relieved heart Ardi drove the car to a dining place with a direction guide from Alya.

After enjoying dinner together, then Ardi began to open the conversation between them. He deliberately took a seat in the corner of the back, in order to be more free to talk at length.

"Alya ...." Ardi's call made Alya's heart start to shake again. It always felt different every time the man called her whole like that.

Sitting face to face with the partition of a small table between them, Ardi could clearly see the nervousness as well as the anxiety on the face of the woman of his first love.

"Why have you been hiding everything from me all this time? Why, Al?" Ardi spoke softly and softly so that Alya who heard him remained comfortable without pressure.

The woman looked at Ardi at a glance. That shady look made his heart weaken and start to claustrophobic.

"Did he know everything?" His heart kept wondering.

"What is your heart made of, Al? Why do you always think of others, without even thinking of yourself? Why do you always try to make others happy while you never feel happy?"

Alya lowered her head, beginning to understand the direction of Ardi's conversation. Yet he still did not realize that the man before him at this moment had even known everything without exception.

Ardi paused for a moment and noticed the graceful face of ayu who kept his gaze down. His heart is starting to warm now. The gentle woman was so special and extraordinary to him and he was already determined not to let go again this time.

"If I had known this morning who he was, maybe I would have made him mercilessly battered. I won't let him go, after what he's done to you for so many years without stopping!"

Sontak Alya raised his face and looked at Ardi fixedly. The woman looked so surprised and made sure of it by watching Ardi who kept looking at her so deeply and sweetly.

Clearly visible to Ardi, sadness and voidness in the dim radiance of the two beautiful eyes that began to fade the sparkle, replaced with warm circles that bathed the fertilizer.

Her heart started to weaken as she saw Alya shed tears and started to sob before her.

Ardi took out a piece of tissue stored in a small box on the table. Stretched his hand to Alya's face and then without hesitation wiped slowly the tears that were still wetting both cheeks.

Alya sobbed while Ardi continued to gently wipe away her tears, accompanied by a sad look full of deep sadness.

Drowning in the overflow of sadness that he no longer held, Alya continued to cry and began to look his shoulders shaken slowly accompanied by a soft sobbing heard by Ardi who continued to wipe tears on the face of his beloved woman.

With a stare and full of pain, Ardi replaced repeatedly the tissue that was continuously moistened by Agatha's tears. And somehow the woman was unable to pull Ardi's hand from his face, just let the clothes covered with tissue still clean the face of her father who had been swollen and reddish.

"I'm sorry, Alya. Again, I'm sorry for letting you go to the wrong person. I've made your life suffer for so long without me knowing at all the grief and tears you've covered yourself without a single person being able to protect you."

Alya who began to be able to control himself and regulate his breath more calmly, only to realize fully that Ardi's hand covered with tissue was still outstretched to clean the rest of the crying on his face.

"Sorry ...." Immediately held the tissue that was still attached to his face, so that slowly Ardi also pulled his hand away from the face that he continued to look at with teary eyes.

"Honestly after knowing who he is, I can't calm down and keep worrying about you, Al. I'm afraid she'll come to you and make you hurt and cry again."

Ardi continued to look at Alya who had finished cleaning her face and tidying up the hijab she was wearing. Ayu and graceful. Those two words that he used to always say to praise the lover of the heart that was always spoiled to him.

After Alya looks calmer and can control himself, Ardi continues his speech which was originally interrupted due to the cry of the woman before him.

"I promised myself that from now on I will never let go of you again, Al. Whatever happens, I'll make sure that the man or anyone else will not be able to bully you again!"

"I will always look after and protect you even if I can't always be around you. I hope you don't mind my attitude and decision, Al."

Alya's heart trembled so intensely at Ardi's statement he said firmly and without wanting to accept rejection.

"But I ...." Ardi interrupted Alya's speech and repeated his decision again.

"I will take full responsibility for you, Alya. Maybe not for now, because I know you need time to accept my decision."

Their views meet again. Full of tenderness accompanied by rays of love that radiate and warm the hearts of both.

"But please don't stop me from protecting you from now on, Al. Let me do it my way and with a sincere intention in my heart to return to be by your side always."
