LOVE NARA

3.63. I LOVE YOU

After returning from the tomb of Bunga, Ardi invites Alya to have lunch together. Not an ordinary lunch, because unbeknownst to Alya, the man had already prepared a surprise for her.

"In, this ... do you remember this place?"

Alya did not expect that Ardi would take him to a place that they used to go together. The place where Ardi first expressed his feelings for the woman of his first love. But in the end, in this place they also decided to separate even though both of them did not want to.

"I'll never forget all about the two of us, Al. Our togetherness, our farewell and our reunion."

Ardi and Alya sat next to Alya's bag as a barrier in the middle. They occupy a long bench like a sofa that is the typical seat of the restaurant they come to. Meanwhile, Aura, who had just fallen asleep when she got there, was laid on a baby carriage that was always in Ardi's car.

Alya remembered everything. Just like Ardi, nothing would be forgotten about him if it was about the man and all the memories between them.

"I'm sorry, Alya. I just ignored you after we separated. I should still be able to take care of you from afar and ensure your happiness first. I just passed by and never wanted to know about you so I could forget you."

Ardi looked at Alya with sadness. There was regret in the corner of his heart over his past attitude. If she had known, she would have saved Alya from her husband's uncivilized behavior.

Although it will not be able to change everything that has happened, but at least Alya will not be as happy as this time. Due to too long slumped in that very bad incident, all have already incised wounds with deep scratches and very slashing.

"I'll make it up to you from now on by giving you the delayed happiness you have. I'll make you happy, Alya. From now on and forever."

Alya returned Ardi's deep eyes. Not a single lie was found there. There is only honesty and love that is very clearly visible. The crackers are getting fuller by a puddle of tears ready to shed with a single blink.

"I'll definitely trouble you later, Di. I'm not healed yet. My heart is still very fragile and hard to touch. It won't be easy .. It won't be easy for me, even more so for you."

Both of Alya's cheeks were already wet with cries that started to break without a sound. Just keep shedding tears, silently looking at the man. His heart was so painful, his chest was crowded with doubts mixed with haru who continued to linger.

"I know none of this is gonna be easy, Al. Especially if we do it ourselves. Therefore I want us to quickly unite and be together, so that it is easier for both of us to heal you."

Alya was crying uncontrollably. His issue started to be heard by Ardi who had already shifted his body facing to the side. His gaze became freer to look at Alya fixedly.

"You must understand what I mean. I want you to get well soon. I want to help you do it. I won't let you try on your own. I'll always be with you, Alya."

Ardi had held the handkerchief and started to extend his hand to Alya's ayu face. The graceful hijab-wearing doctor showed no rejection as the man began to move the handkerchief on the surface of his face. Feels slow, careful and very gentle.

Slowly his heart began to be moved to let every touch of Ardi. The touch was still blocked by the small square cloth that had been soaked by her tears. Alya closed her eyes and kept trying to fight against her fear and shadow of dark events.

"I love you, Alya," said Ardi amid the movement of his hand wiping away the woman's tears. He paused for a moment and only looked at Alya's face from a short distance away.

Alya's body shook violently. The mind continues to clash, between wanting to master the situation and let, or keep rejecting and closing itself.

"I love you and will always be with you. Remember it is always in your heart and mind."

Alya nodded still with her eyes closed. He permeates all of Ardi's words and continues to convince himself to fight his fears.

Slowly he opened his eyes and found Ardi's face still staring at him. He ventured to comment on a smile aimed at the man.

"Thank you, Di. Thank you for wanting to stay with me after you know the truth about me."

Ardi returned Alya's smile with a happy heart. Once again he cleaned the rest of the crying on the woman's face and then kept his handkerchief.

Ardi looked at Aura and Alya alternately. After that his gaze turned towards the jewel ring embedded in the ring finger of Alya's left hand that was on the table. The ring looks so beautiful.

"Please take care of the ring like you've been keeping your heart all this time. Always remember the love and affection I put in it. I'll always be with you wherever you are, Al."

Alya brushed off her fear. He also drove away all the bad shadows that were flashing about to disturb him again. His hand that was shaking violently from earlier, was now back to calm and completely silent.

The graceful woman tried to rise with a determination that had been rounded. He wants to be healed and happy. Especially now, there was Ardi with him. A man who can only be remembered in his heart and always called his name in every prayer.

"I won't let you and Aura down. I'll heal soon and recover for you. Back to being the Alya you used to know and once had. Alya who always loves and loves you endlessly in this heart. I ... I ...."

Alya closed her pair of beautiful eyes to calm down. There is something he wants to say and he does not want to be delayed again. He was afraid that his courage would be lost again if he did not finish right now.

Seeing Alya who was back wavering and weakening in silence, Ardi immediately grabbed Alya's left hand. He held the beautiful ringed hand gently and rubbed it lovingly.

Although it still felt trembling, but the hand was no longer as cold as before. Ardi continued to hold onto it and slowly began to feel the reply from the owner.

Alya opened her eyes after calming down and regained her strength. He smiled as he returned Ardi's hand without hesitation.

"I love you, Ardi. I also love and love Aura. I want to make you both happy. I want to live happily and spend the rest of my life with you and Aura, forever."
