MARRIED

Sunset

Today is their last day in Lombok. By noon tomorrow, they should be back home. After this afternoon around to lunch outside and buy souvenirs, this afternoon it was time to enjoy the sunset together again.

"Rayyan anteng nih mas same me and mom. Perhaps the same Adit mas mbak Salma want to go for a walk or play water gapapa, Rayyan left alone here" said Asep with a smile on Adit and Salma.

"That's what I've been waiting for, Sep" Adit said quickly.

A moment later, Salma elbowed his elbow into Adit's stomach. "Apaan sih mas" grumbled in shame.

"After the green light, Sal. That means Asep same bu Sari ga objected if we titipin Rayyan. Lagian also Rayyan anteng tuh clay, from earlier Asep mulu mepet. Where do we want to be"

"Yes but I want to leave bu Sari with Asep that's it anyway, mas? Then if Rayyan suddenly find me how?"

"No going. Believe me" replied Adit while standing and shaking the sand attached to his short.

"Udah, Salma is calm. Rayyan won't cry. Isn't that Rayyan?" bu Sari said then turned to Rayyan who was playing sand with a small car in her hand.

"Come, Sal. Ntar sunbathingnya ngilang, it's not romantic anymore if we want to walk on the beach" Adit extended his hand in front of Salma.

Salma glanced at Adit who looked so excited to take her on a walk to enjoy this sunset. Then his gaze turned to look at Rayyan who looked indifferent to the existence of herself and Adit from earlier.

"Nitip Rayyan bentar ya ma'am... Seps.... Rayyan's father was a bit spoiled again" Salma said as she grabbed Adit's hand and moved from her seat.

"Casual, mom. Sister Salma same mas Adit courtship first aja gih, still pantes kok" sedoda bu Sari.

"Well there was Rayyan gini when he was told to date again anyway ma'am?"

"No look, mbak. Besides Rayyan is the same as us, anyone knows if Salma has become mothers. Isn't that right, Mas Adit? Hehehehe"

"Wooo.. obviously dong, his mother Rayyan mah is still like a new girl graduating high school"

"You're probably hooligans, aren't you?" search Salma. "Let's go, before I change my mind"

"Yes, I'm waiting for you"

Adit immediately pulled Salma's hand which was about to wave its hand at Rayyan.

"Don't bye-bye to Rayyan, we're not going out"

"Same, same with my own son"

"Here you are, too"

"Udah mas, a street quarry if you don't want Rayyan to realize that his father wants to be left behind by his mother dating hahahahaha" Asep said when the husband and wife will return to argue.

Adit immediately nodded, then took Salma's hand while walking away leaving Rayyan with Sari and Asep.

Adit and Salma look like a couple who just got married. Wearing clothes with the same color, the two walked together in the beach while enjoying the sun that was left half of it.

"Don't go far, ma'am. Where are we going?" Salma stops her steps and pulls Adit's hand.

"You tired? Want me to carry it?"

"You need to be that way, mas. We have gone quite far" said Salma while pointing to the hotel where they stayed that looks very far away.

Adit pulled Salma's hand, then positioned himself behind Salma's body and hugged her from behind.

"Mas.. shame on ya"

"Who's the same? No one knows either"

"But still we shouldn't be friendly here, mas. It's a public place"

"We're still wearing clothes, baby. And there are also many couples who like us too" Adit looked around. "Look" he continued while pointing at the couple who were hugging also not far from them.

"But they're bule, mas. They used to be in public places, right?"

"Udaahhhhh.. You are ad-ja, I just want to enjoy the sunset like gini" Adit tightened his embrace on Salma's stomach.

They were silent for a while, looking at the sun that was beginning to slowly disappear.

"I'm sorry, Sal" said Adit lirih.

"For?" Salma turned to look at Adit who propped his chin on Salma's shoulder.

"For the beginning of our meeting. Maybe it was not a sweet meeting, but at that time I refused an arranged marriage with all the considerations I had"

Adit paused his word. Then Salma's hand moved to gently rub the back of her husband's hand.

"I didn't expect to fall in love with you so quickly. Even though at that time I had thought of many ways to make you hate me until you finally asked for the matchmaking was void. One of them with a stupid agreement that I had asked for at that time"

Salma smiled. I don't know why her husband suddenly talked about the past.

"I understand, mas. Marriage seems scary. Thinking I was going through a marriage that tied up our entire lives with someone I didn't know, I actually felt sorry for the life I lived. I felt unfair, because I didn't even get the chance to choose my partner. My soulmate. But with all the changes in Adit's attitude towards me, I was finally able to accept it all. My path of destiny is the same as Adit's, and I'm happy"

"You happy?" Adit looked up at Salma.

Salma nodded. "Very happy"

Salma releases Adit's hand and turns his body face to face with Adit.

"I have a husband who loves me and loves me and my family, is responsible, and incredibly handsome" Salma clamped Adit's nose with her finger.

"In addition to the presence of Rayyan in our midst, which really makes my life more perfect. It's just gratitude I can do now. Grateful for the presence of you and Rayyan in my life, I am really happy" continued Salma who then rubbed Adit's cheek slowly.

"This is my part, Sal. I should be the one who talks romantic words like that, keep your clepek-clepek and moved. This is why even you are talking" Adit leaned his head on Salma's shoulder.

"Hahahahaha. mas Adit has often been romantic with me, now replace me dong"

Adit raised his head, brought his body closer to Salma and again wrapped his hands around Salma's waist.

"I will love you more and more each day with every beat of my heart, until the day I die and my hearts stops beating. I love you, Sal"

That's how the twilight of the day ended. The words of love to couples to the connection of lips so sweet, into the cover of a beautiful day.

"I'll be with you until the last sunset" whispered Salma on the sidelines of their kiss.
