"Ria listen to my explanation. Don't just walk away and pretend to be okay with the jealousy you're hiding" Aldi said. Ria's tears instantly decayed, as hard as trying to look okay she still couldn't. The king also cried to see his mother crying, as if he could feel what Ria felt.
Aldi immediately pulled Ria in his arms, tightly hugging the woman from the side. The silent king looked up at Aldi fixedly.
"Now, you sit down first, " Aldi said outlining his embrace. He took Ria to the sofa and sat her down.
Aldi picked up the bushel lying on the floor. Fortunately the food in it did not come out of the bushel. She sat down beside Ria who was staring at herself softly.
"Don't cry anymore. She's a nobody, she's just a woman who's always trying to tease me. But you take it easy, I will not be able to betray our marriage" Aldi asserted.
"Why?We are not married there is no love in it, so it does not matter if you are with other women, " said Ria.
Aldi looked at Ria with a sharp gaze, not liking the woman's words which somehow caused pain in his heart.
"Married it does not have to be with the person we love.Color everyone prefers to marry the right person for him," said Aldi who snorted.
"You better wash your face, "sniff Aldi turned his face for a moment.
The man immediately took the King in a sling of Ria who looked astonished by Aldi's gentle change of attitude now came back to him.
"Quickly, do not daydream continuously, "alldi's word like a commanding tone, making Ria immediately rise from her seat and walk to the bathroom in the room.
"Your mother is always insensitive. And always low, "said Aldi invites chatting King chattering is not clear.
*******
Ria washed her face in front of the sink. His eyes stared at the reflection of his shadow on the glass. Aldi's words were so loud in his mind.
"What Aldi is the right guy. But what if I had opened my heart to her but in that moment I would again feel the loss, "monologist Ria pondered .
There is a sense of trauma in him if he has to be left behind by the people he loves. From Albian to having to lose Rayyan once and for all. Afraid that his heart would break for the third time.
******
Ria just came out of the bathroom. Staring at Aldi who also returned his eyes. The man sat on the sofa that led straight to where he was standing right now. An awkward feeling hit the two who were silent to each other.
"Why are you still standing there. Come here quickly, " said Aldi. Ria hurried to walk towards her husband who was holding the King and sat down near Aldi.
"What are you cooking? " ask Aldi just for pleasantries.
"I cook sauteed kakung with fried chicken flour, " said Ria who turned to Aldi who was still staring fixedly at the woman.
"You why? " tanya Ria was astonished, making Aldi turn his face the other way. Normalize the beating heart rate very fast with a strange rumble that was rampant into his heart at that moment.
"I'm not pa-pa, "he replied, grabbing the food in front of him. Aldi immediately spilled all the kale stir-fry into a bushel containing rice and fried chicken which he took one piece.
The man ate voraciously to cover up his nervousness, while the King was placed on a sofa near Aldi. A smile was created on Ria's lips to see Aldi who seemed to enjoy the cuisine he made.
"Here are you cooking or buying? " tanya Aldi put an empty container on the table.
"That's me cooking, learning a little to cook, "answered Ria and Aldi nodding their heads as they picked up a water bottle on the table.
"You know, I never thought I'd marry you. But one thing you should know I feel you are the right person to be my life companion even though there is no love for you. So then.... From now on we learn to accept each other and learn to love, " Aldi looked at Ria with a serious look.
Ria was still silent, digesting Aldi's words. He opened his eyes several times because he really did not believe the words that came out of Aldi's mouth.
"You're not lying, are you? " tanya Ria made sure to make Aldi's forehead wrinkle .
"You don't believe me? " said Aldi brought himself closer to Ria who distanced his body with the distance of the two of them were quite close.
"But why are you accepting me so quickly in your life. Kita___"
"Never involve love in this conversation, Ria. Not every marriage is happy when love is in it. It's free to love each other if it will eventually incise a wound," Aldi pulled Ria's hand and held it tightly.
"Now we begin a new chapter. We are going through this marriage like any other couple. For the matter of love is a later affair, "said Aldi.
"You don't always put love first and always think marriage won't last if you don't love each other. Because if you think like that, you have a hard time accepting our marriage. And I'm sorry I hurt you through my words that may be very painful, " said Aldi who immediately hugged Ria and kissed the woman's forehead with a friendly.
"But you promise not to hurt me or leave me like everyone else" said Ria and Aldi nodded his head.
"Yayayayaa.... " The king clapped his hands with the laughter created on his face seeing the two hugging each other.
"Our son seems happy to see us like this" Aldi said. Ria was embarrassed and her heart warmed to Aldi's words.
