Loving You In The Dark

Loving you in silence

Raihan and Alice were enjoying dinner, not many words were spoken by the two, because they had only met a few times.

"Alice do you like the food?" raihan asked, he tried to arrange his words before he made his point.

"The food is good, you seem to know my taste" he said.

"I must know because, "Raihan deliberately stopped his words.

"What color ?" ask Alice in curiosity.

"Karna.., I want to propose to you," he knelt down.

"Will you marry me ?" Raihan slightly knelt down while thrusting a ring with the initials of their name RA who was crowned with gemstones.

Alice was shocked this time she was proposed, besides that she and Raihan had just known each other, but because Alice also liked Raihan, she nodded, Alice was speechless, when Raihan pinned the ring on his ring finger then kissed his ladder.

Alice was really moved all this time she had never received special treatment from a man, Alice also never opened her heart, several times she declared her love for Dion, but only the rejection that she got, she said, although the rejection was subtle, but since Alice was like a trauma, she never opened her heart, although many men expressed love for her.

After pinning the ring on Alice's ring finger, Raihan hugged her.

"Alice you want to be my life partner forever?" raihan asked again, because he did not get an answer directly from his mouth.

"Yes Raihan, I want to" he replied softly in Raihan's arms.

"But Alice we have different beliefs, how..., "Raihan's words stopped.

"I was a mua'laf a few years ago Raihan," he said.

"really? then there's nothing more that's a barrier to our relationship" he added.

"A Raihan, "they hugged him back.

"Tonight I'll introduce you to my parents."

"This instant Raihan, I was still in shock" Alice massaged her chest.

"Are you not sure Alice ?" ask Raihan.

"I'm sure but...,"

"Then, let's go to my house, I'll let you know my parents, '" she also gently pulled Alice's hand.

After Alice stood up, she unhesitatingly took Raihan's hand to the car.

Along the way there are not many words that come out of their mouths, maybe there is no love between the two, but they dare to open their hearts, in fact love can come after marriage.

Without much to say, because they are still awkward, only body language is conditional on their closeness.

Throughout the journey Raihan grasped the friendly hands of Alice, and occasionally he kissed her, Alice was deeply moved, after a long wait for love, that love was present as well, even with people he never expected.

In the morning, as usual after Dion's morning prayers immediately cleaned his house, he did not want to rely too much on Amanda, because Dion himself knew Amanda had cancer.

Pity is always in Dion's heart, although his sikaf looks bitter and cold, but in his heart he could not bear if Amanda had to be his domestic assistant.

But what's power, Dion also does not want to interfere too much in Amanda's personal life, he can only help relieve the homework that Amanda should do.

Although feeling pity, but Dion did not want to get too close, let alone show his concern for Amanda, let alone he knew if Amanda still harbored feelings for him, and his own mother who revealed it to Dion, Dion, for him past experience of women, making him more introspective now, he does not want his household back destroyed and messy.

As usual, when Dion was busy in the kitchen, the wife was also busy talking about her hand phone, Amira was not used to homework, from childhood until now she was always served, she was always served, unaccounted for while living in a home.

Amira came out in neat clothes, and she walked over to the dining table.

Seeing the appearance of his wife, Dion opened his voice.

"Where you go, ma'am, you're not going to work, you're not going to get a headache" Dion.

"Yes Well, I have to go to the office today, I feel sorry for Arkan, he has to go back and forth to deliver the documents that mom has to sign and I learned, she said, he also began to be busy taking care of the wedding preparations," said Amira.

"Nothing's gonna happen, Dad, I'm sure,"

"Everything can't be Mom, I don't allow mom to come out, let alone to the office for a while" he said

"Kok that's it Well, mom had to go to the office not to be able to keep going at home," Amira a little emotion, her face changed.

"Anything is okay" he said again.

Amira stared intently at Dion, upset, and returned to her room.

Dion followed him, "Mom, why be angry anyway, Dad forbid, because dad loves you, the same as our child-to-be, understand Mom, I'm just afraid something happens to you,"

"Light, you have everything for me, I do all of this, because I love you too much, understand the Light," Dion embraced Amira.

"Yes Dion, I know, you love me so much, I'm sorry, if I'm too big a head, all this time you've been the only one to comply with my request, and this time let me obey your orders, I won't go to the office before getting permission from my dear doctor sir," he kissed Dion's lips.

"Ok if we have breakfast again," they went out together.

And when they came out they were surprised to see Amanda who had been there to clean up the twins' breakfast.

Amanda accidentally saw their kerestraan.

"Well have you come?" ask Dion.

"Mother who told him to come in the morning Well, earlier mother wanted to go to the office, but in connection with the ban Dad, not so deh."

"Let's go Manda you come with us for breakfast," Amira pulled up the chair directly opposite to him and Dion.

Amanda sat down, she just looked down.

"Same mother didn't you fight?" ask Gea just as she spoke.

"Berantem, that's not a fight, father and mother are just different opinions," said Amira.

"Let's Amanda you must not have breakfast, breakfast first, do not be shy just like your own home," Amira.

"Yes Mbak ngak shy, "the answer is slow but sound clear.

For a moment they were silent, Amanda and Dion both bowed down not daring to look.

Dion who from earlier was just silent and lowered his head, suddenly he choked and immediately grabbed the water beside him.

"Ehk.., "Dion drank without seeing what water he drank.

"Well, I'm drinking mother's milk anyway, ntar pregnant father loh," said Amira who saw Dion accidentally drinking milk.

"Ah deserve to feel weird," he said.

They laugh too.

"Eat it Well, use the eyes dong, do not just play sambar," said Amira still laughing.

"Udah ah, I want to take a shower first, mom prepare Dad's shirt," he went to the room.

"It's bad his shirt forgot I ironed," he rushed into the room to get Dion's shirt.

"You're done with breakfast, can you help me iron my husband's shirt" let me take care of this, she told Amanda.

"Can't Mama ."Amanda got up in a hurry, and headed to her room to iron Dion's shirt.

Amanda kissed Dion's shirt, and she held it in her arms, as if she were hugging the owner of the shirt, just a moment later Amanda's tears were shed.

Maybe it's this fate, only to be able to admire without being able to have you, I am also aware of who I am, who is increasingly inappropriate with you, let this feeling I hold up to the end of my age, and this love let it be a secret between you and me, without me revealing it to anyone, Amanda's inner self.

Amanda came back she kissed the shirt, the point of tears falling down her cheeks sluggishly, the more she saw Dion, the more she loved him.

Desperate in the depths of her little heart, I will one day God will let me, embrace your body and lean on your shoulder, when my eyes are closed for the last time
