My Bow to the Destiny of Love

Ardian Request

Ardian was still tightly hugging Chayra's body from behind after the girl switched off the phone. "Whose phone? Why is it that when I come you turn it off?"

"Someone.. Ardian doesn't need to know."

Ardian breathed a heavy sigh. "The fire is waiting for you to come out of there. I want to say something important, he said."

"What are you talking about?"

"I don't know either. Let's get out now. Papi told me to call you so I could go faster. He's got a show after this."

Chayra smiled as she nodded. Ardian who used his word for his Papi sounded very polite. "Come.." took off Ardian's hand that was still coiled in his stomach. He held the man's hand out of the room.

Sucipto shook his head slowly to see his son-in-law coming down the stairs. "Why so long? You too, Ardian. Asked to call the wife instead follow her silence in the room."

"Astagfirullah, Pi. Ayra was talking to someone on the phone."

Chayra was shocked to hear her husband's words. His eyes looked at the man with question marks. Could it be that Ardian heard his conversation with Ardian earlier.

Ardian just glanced at her while smiling. "He sounds serious, Pi. So Ardian was waiting for him to finish talking."

Chayra. It seemed like the man had actually heard everything he had talked to Amira earlier.

"What's important Papi wants to talk about?" Look at Sucipto seriously. Deliberately avoiding Chayra's gaze.

"You two clean up your things. You're moving house later."

"What..?! This fast, Pi?" Ardian asked in surprise.

"The fire has got his house. So why wait so long. You choose one of the assistants from this house to take care of your house."

"House big or small, Pi?"

"You can see it later. Don't want you much. Next month you will also have to work. Come to the Office."

"Lho, right Ardian has to go to college, Pi."

"You'll be done soon. Calculate the experience first while in college."

Ardian was silent at last. He refused, nor could he do it.

"You guys pack up there. Papi's got a show outside for a while."

"Yes, Pi." Ardian touched his wife's hand to follow her out of the living room.

Because they're on college break. They both relax at home without any meaningful activities.

"Chay, are you ready to move?" Ardian asked as they climbed the stairs.

"Ready we must be ready, right. Papi and Mami already believe the same brother. That's why they want us to split the house with them."

"Do I look better than before?"

"Of course, Brother. Not only good, but Brother Ardian looks to turn three hundred and sixty degrees."

"It's amazing, right?"

"Yes, of course." They smile at each other. Continue the steps of those who had stopped.

"I want to ask you something. But later in the room." They continued to join hands until in front of the room

Chayra just glanced at Ardian. I understand what her husband means.

Ardian sat on the couch. Chayra was sitting at the study table.

"What do you want to ask?"

Ardian breathed a rough breath. Staring at Chayra who was still waiting for her answer.

"Why silence?"

"We're sitting here" patted the sofa next to him.

Chayra is straight. Sitting next to her husband.

"Tell me now, what do you want to say?"

Chayra. "I'm sorry, Brother."

"You don't have to apologize. Your intention to change me was a very good intention. And thank God, you've made me change."

Ardian looked at his wife inside. "But I was disappointed to hear what Amira said."

"Which one of Mira's words disappointed Brother?"

"Is that why you kept your distance and seemed to be avoiding me all this time? You're afraid Amira's mad because I touched you."

Chayra was shocked to hear her husband's question. "B. It's not like that, brother. I. I'm not ready for that. Ii'm sorry. But, that bad incident was also a factor in why I was a little uncomfortable when I was close to Brother." Chayra lowered her head. Feeling guilty saying that. However, everything must be straightened out so that there are no more misunderstandings.

"I already know that. But, I'm sure that Amira is also involved in this."

"No, Amira has nothing to do with this."

"Then why was he angry earlier, when you were trying to explain about something that had happened between us?"

Chayra raised her face while looking at Ardian. "He's not angry, brother. He's just disappointed that I turned myself in to Ardian."

"I'm your husband, Chay.. Regardless of any agreement you had with Amira before. I deserve you and your life. You are much better at religion. So, before I say your duty as a wife, you already know that." Ardian clasped Chayra's hand. Closing his eyes held back the annoyance.

"I'm sorry I can't be a good wife to Brother."

"Let's fix our intentions in this marriage. I don't want God to be angry because we're playing with marriage. A marriage bond must be based on good intentions."

Chayra swallowed her saliva hearing Ardian's words. The man sounded sincere saying that to her. Will the destiny of his love has indeed been outlined with Ardian. Then how will he account for his feelings to other men, who all this time he has not been able to remove his name from his heart. Ardian's presence has not been able to shift the position of the man.

"I really want to live forever with you, Chay.. I'm not gonna let you go no matter what. Unless I die, that'll be the farewell between us."

Chayra's tears are dripping. "I'm sorry, Brother."

"I know you can't replace the name of Brother Ghibran in your heart. I know that you can't love me yet. But I'll keep trying. Until you realize you're married, not to the wrong person."

Ardian pulled Chayra's body slowly. Sticking Chayra's body to her chest. "I'm happy and feel calm hugging you like this. Even though you may not feel anything. Or even you are as uncomfortable as you said before. But, again I say, I calmly hold you like this."

"Thank you for loving a woman like me, sister. We'll try in the future. Gradually, the love between us will grow by itself." Chayra closed her eyes. Actually he was very heavy saying that. However, he did not want to make Ardian even more disappointed.

"I love you, Chay. You need to set your heart in order to accept me as your husband."

"You're my husband, right." Chayra looked up at her husband at a glance. Back down, stick his head on Ardian's chest.

"Let me do that to you again." Ardian kissed the head of his wife.

Chayra flinched and instantly pulled her body. "M.. I mean Brother?"

"I want to do what we did at Mom's house that night."

Chayra's expression instantly changed. Swallowed his spit several times. "K.. You want that again?"

Ardian nodded withstanding a smile. Seeing Chayra's pale facial expression as her request became her own entertainment for her. "Yes, I want that again. I'll prove to Amira that she's not who I am anymore. The owner of this heart and body is you not him."

"Don't do that if Ardian wants to hurt her. I betrayed our agreement."

"I heard everything you said to him earlier. You promised to make me change. Not promising not to have sex with me."

"But, Big Brother will hurt her if Big Brother tells her that."

"He's wrong, Chay. Why is she still taking care of our household. He is married and has a new family. She should take care of her husband. Keep her husband can keep looking at her and not glance at other women. Why is he so busy with our bed. Wear show prohibits all pregnant people. Who's she?!" Ardian said sewot. "Because, who is the security guard for him? This information always gets to him."

Chayra just shrugged her shoulders.

"It's a good thing I'm not fooling around with him. He can keep following all the activities I do. So the woman was just as happy as a couple. Complement each other and warn each other if something is wrong. It's busy with people's households."

Chayra smiled in response. "Sister does not want to be followed by bini if on the move. Then why are you so happy to find out my college schedule. Afraid I'd linger in class if Ghibran's sister was the Lecturer? Is that his name? Isn't it watching the wife's movements, as if I'm going to cheat with Ghibran's brother?"

Ardian smiled grimacingly. That's what he's been doing these past few months. "Already, ah. Don't talk about it anymore. I want you to accompany me to bed now." Rise while carrying Chayra's body onto the bed.

"Eh, don't fuck around. We were asked to pack up Papi. Not asked to sleep."

"Thirty minutes of running." Ardian hugged Chayra's body tightly. Not giving Chayra time rejecting her wishes.
