Not Always Beautiful
21. Anniversary
Assalamualaikum
" Waalaikumsalam, a minute" who's these nights to see
" Pa Raja what's up Adrian is out of town" what do these people want these nights here
" I'm not here to see Adrian"
" then"
" What else if you don't want to meet you, come here I want to hug you" she hugged me before I did
" The king is already, Tya is staying overnight, if he sees the danger of you coming home, I'll call later, Adrian is also home tonight" I spoke as slowly as possible just in case that Tya heard while continuing to try to release the King's embrace
" Meera in a moment, oh yeah when is your anniversary I'm invited right?" Is he mocking me
" I don't want to talk about it, you go"
" Yes yes I go, I love you Meera" she kissed me softly
" I love you, too, you be careful on the road informing me when you arrive"
I didn't go straight to the room once the King left, I waited for Adrian to come home this was almost 12 o'clock he should have arrived
01.15 The sound of a car entering the yard, it must be Adrian.

Exactly one year of the age of our marriage, I will speak all my heart. She should know how I feel, she should be my wife.
Back garden I've been magic as beautiful as possible, this statement of love should not look ordinary. Why Meera so long, ehh she came, light brown color does always make it look more beautiful very fitting with the color of her skin is yellow.
" You're so pretty Meera" she blushed, her sweet ahh
" It's beautiful mas, you prepared it well"
" Do you like it?" He nodded
We ate quietly as usual. Finished eating continued a casual chat, recalling every sweet moment we passed. There are no meaningful quarrels, just small debates that make every day feel beautiful
" Why is there a mirror here?" I didn't answer
" Now open your eyes"
" It's very beautiful mas" she looked at the reflection of her face in the mirror, her smile continued to expand
" Now you know why the mirror is here hmm" he nodded
" thank you"
" There's no need to thank Meera, after all you don't have any other jewelry other than this ring" I raised her right hand where our wedding ring was attached
" Meera, there's something I want to say, you listen carefully, just listen" she nodded "Meera I love you, love you so much. I don't know since when this feeling started to grow, which I know I'm comfortable with you I'm happy with you and I can't live without you Meera. I know you don't love me, but I'll try, I'll try to make you love me"

Meera I love you, love you so much. I don't know since when this feeling started to grow, which I know I'm comfortable with you I'm happy with you and I can't live without you Meera. I know you don't love me, but I'll try, I'll try to make you love me. That sentence kept me spinning in my brain
" Hey you're waving again, is there a problem? or are you unwell? we're going to the doctor"
" A.. I'm fine" sorry King I couldn't possibly tell you about Adrian's love statement that night
" It's true you're okay" I nodded convincingly
" Look I have a new necklace, adrian gave it" shit why tell me this is from Adrian's mas
" look at it" she flips through this beautiful heart-shaped pendulum "There's an A"
" My name is Ameera, right A"
" Adrian is also A"
" you're jealous hmm" I played my eyebrows
" Of course, my girlfriend wears a necklace from someone else"
" He's my husband not someone else" he's funny being jealous
" Yes he's your husband, and I'm just a mistress" there's an emphasis on the word mistress.
" Pa Raja, Meera" deg, that's Adrian's mas voice
