My Soul in Grandpa's Hands

Snuggle

Devan watched his wife fall asleep. Her face was clean, plain like a baby without any makeup polish on it. His heart always trembled and felt at peace when he saw Aleta's face in his sleep.

"Is it now a sign that I've started to open my heart again." whispered Devan to himself.

He gently kissed his wife on the forehead, then spread her body beside Aleta. Devan turned his back towards his wife, then hugged her and fell asleep in peace.

The next morning, looks busy at the family home Cokro.

"Sister-in-law..., today you're not going?" roland asked as he bribed the fried rice into his mouth.

"There's no plan yet, but at 10 o'clock there's a make up class at Joni's place." replied Aleta while spooning rice to a plate for Devan.

Hearing Aleta mention Joni, Cokro looks into Devan's eyes, and it seems that Devan is also perceptive to the gesture his grandfather gave him.

"Honey.., if achieved, do not join the make up class is okay. Mas see, your makeup skills are good, smooth results. Mas likes it." said Devan forbid delicate Aleta to go.

"But today the material is good, flawless makeup procedures, the results of which can be bold but not impressed menor. Aleta also wants to be able to make beautiful makeup like an artist ."

"My wife is already the prettiest in Devan's eyes,"

"Halah.., if the prettiest really every day just locked yourself in the apartment. Back to Klaten, want to continue college also can not. Nothing can." said Aleta suddenly sewed and pouted.

"Aleta wants to go back to college" asked Cokro.

"Yes cake, grandfather promised. Despite her marriage, Aleta can still continue college."

"So once the lecture moved here. Get closer, and don't miss Devan either." suggested Cokro.

"Yes, brother, can move to my cousin's Tata campus that was here yesterday. Rolland will help manage the administration of the move." said Rolland.

"Grandfather.., Aleta is in fourth semester, the semester will be an internship tomorrow, make a written report completed. If you move, you have to make a lot of adjustments."

"Here you go, let's eat first. We'll talk about it again, baby."

"Yes, and Aleta already knows the ending" Aleta said.

Devan and Cokro smile at Aleta like a child asking for candy not to be granted. Then they finished their breakfast the next morning.

"Mas left first, baby," said Devan's farewell to Aleta.

"Aleta's coming, going to the apartment for a change of clothes. Later afternoon after from Joni want to be invited to walk the same kulineran friend."

"Friends, you do have friends here." lure Devan.

"There are donk, want to be invited to walk again with Ariel. Want to be invited to the culinary in a place that Instagram able."

"Kok again, means that it's been together before." with a sick and upset heart, Devan tried to test the honesty of his wife.

"Already donk, yesterday afternoon we will go to Dago. Aleta is accompanied by Asep sir, we meet there." Aleta innocently told me without anything covered, and completely unaware if Devan held back his emotions.

"Today Devan forbade Aleta to go with Ariel KW, you're at grandfather's house just so there's a friend."

"Ga wants, his friend is just Auntie Praise."

"Later Tata did not ask him to come here, brother, if you want to walk with Tata alone" said Rolland gave advice.

Aleta silently did not reply, her smile suddenly disappearing. Her heart still felt abhorrent to her husband's ban. But remember the advice of her foster mother in the home so that according to the same husband, Aleta was forced to accept. Suddenly Aleta misses Miss Rosna a lot.

Aleta takes Devan to the front of the car.

"Mas is leaving, yes" said Devan.

Aleta silently did not answer, but still kissed her husband's hand. Devan tightly hugged Aleta's body, then gave a fleeting kiss on her lips. After Devan got in the car, Aleta rushed into the house, then locked herself in the room.

Aleta takes the laptop out of the backpack, then turns it on. After connecting to the internet via a private hotspot from her phone, Aleta logged into G**gle Classroom, and e-learning. He is still diligent in doing the tasks uploaded by his lecturer, in the hope that he still has the opportunity to continue his studies until graduation.

"Assalamualaikum," said Aleta.

"Wa Alaikum greetings, again where," Devan's voice softly rang out from across the phone.

"Against the room doing college assignments, who knows if there is a heart moved. How can I know my phone number." Aleta replied without any sweetness.

"Yes got to know my wife's number. Soon Tata will be da

tang went home, Rolland had contacted him."

Aleta remained silent not answering.

"If you want to go for a walk, you can ask Tata to accompany you. Or look around the campus, who knows you might be interested. I'll take care of your move soon."

"Sorry, Aleta is not interested in moving to college in this city. Meningan idle at home." said Aleta.

"Yes, it's up to you. Yes already. Wassalamualaikum."

"Wa Alaikum salam,"

"Tok.tok.tok..., non Aleta, there is non Tata in the living room non..," there was a knock on the door and a cry of Bi Puji from outside the room.

"Ya Bi.., asked to wait a moment. Aleta just shut down the laptop." exclaimed Aleta.

"Yes non."

Aleta immediately saves the file, and shuts down her laptop. After making sure all files and applications are well-closed, Aleta meets Tata in the living room.

"Hi Aleta., we meet again," said Tata's distant cousins Devan and Rolland.

"Hi Ta, I'm sorry I had to wait. Just looked at the GC just now." said Aleta.

"Well, I was just too. Very diligent,"

"Ditelpon Rolland did it here. Sorry ngrepotin, I was planning to play alone with friends, because men are forbidden can not.

"Lha yes obviously can't, you already have a hand. I am single, he.he.he.he..,"

"We're just friends, talking, eating, in public again. We're not going to be weird."

"That's our mind, different from people's minds. Especially in public places, some people see. That's Devan's wife again with the same who. Dong gossip is about."

Aleta was silent for a moment.

"Yes, too."

"Yes, it must be dong. Now instead of bete, follow me now. I assure you, it must be allowed, it is allowed, if it is not permissible for me to speak."

"Where are you."

"To T*ans Hotel, I have an invitation at 11, see my friend's exhibit."

"Really"

"Yes, I called Rolland or Devan. It must be allowed if the road is the same as me."

"Ok's ok. Then we'll leave at what time."

"Yes now dong. It's already 10:25, come change clothes, a little formal yes."

"Yup, wait a minute, yeah" Aleta said immediately rushed to the room to get changed.

Aleta wore a knee-length, short-sleeved batik canal and wore a white sneaker. With light makeup and a sling bag complement the outfit of the day Aleta. They headed to T*ans Hotel using an online car, because they were lazy to get stuck in traffic on the road.
