Picking Up the Past

My heart is for you Arya

On a clear morning that day, after hearing the advice of Ms. Annisa after the dawn, Mila immediately sat on the porch of the house, he looked towards the slowly bright sky with the sun gradually revealing its form.

The air of the village was really cool, especially for Mila who had spent a lot of atmosphere in the capital, such cool air was very rare he found. Slowly busy on the road in front of the simple house began to be seen, there are villagers who walk to the fields and fields, some are using motorcycles and also bicycles. The scenery alternated seen Mila in the street in front of the house.

The person who awaited Mila finally came too, Arya walked together with Tomy behind their father, Mila smiled with my eyes looking at the face of her husband who approached her.

The emotional burden is still felt by him, the news given Irman makes his thoughts and feelings work hard to find the best way out. But still there was nothing she could do, hope to return to Jakarta was also challenged by her husband, even her husband threatened separation if he still remained desperate to Jakarta.

“Assalamualaikum” said Mr. Susanto to Mila, and answered Mila politely, “walaikumussalam uncle,”

“you looking for your husband nak?” ask Susanto to Mila.

“no uncle, I was just enjoying the cool air here” said Mila politely while looking down with embarrassment, he could not avoid his desire to meet Arya at all, but he was also embarrassed to admit it in front of Susanto and Tomy.

“Arya, accompany your wife here,” Susanto said to Arya while gesturing for Arya to sit on one beside Mila. Mr. Susanto seemed to understand the wishes of his daughter-in-law.

"good uncle” replied Arya politely. Mr. Susanto then went inside and Arya smiled at Mila. “aku even wanted to get married quickly if he saw what seemed like a gini continue" said Tomy while hitting Arya's shoulder slowly, he soon entered the house and left Arya with Mila on the porch.

“do you miss me?” arya said as she sat by Mila's side, she stared into the bead of his wife's eyes.

“I always wake up late here, new aunt wakes up when Arya azan,” said Mila with a soft tone.

“you look tired, are you still sleepy Mil?” arya asked with a soft rub of Mila's eyes.

“what is the room here is only 3?, is there no empty room anymore?, the time we have husband and wife still have to sleep separately like gini” said Mila with a soft tone.

“do you want to sleep with my hugs?, or lest you miss me to touch?” arya's seduction for his wife.

“ihh Arya, you don't do it dong, I'm just scared,”

“fear what?”

Mila for a moment thought hard to ask with the right sentence, because she felt Arya was saturated with possessive attitude.

“you have to answer honestly yes, this is the last time I ask you like this” Mila said by looking into Arya's eyes.

“when am I not being honest with you?” said Arya who made Mila for a moment back to thinking long, ‘when Arya lied to me?,’ her inner self.

“you have often lied to mother, is there no way you also lied to me?” mila said with great emphasis on Arya.

“I lied yesterday to protect myself Mil, and sooner or later, I'll know everything, and for my work, I'm not the one lying here first, but your grandfather” Arya replied casually.

“grandpa?” asked Mila confusedly.

“do you think grandfather doesn't know my job at all?, grandfather couldn't just tell us to get married without knowing my background Mil, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you don't know my background Mil, just a crazy person who told his grandson to marry a man who only met him 2 times. I just think the reason that afternoon was just an excuse made up - make it, he probably already knew everything about me, what else he has saved my phone number, it will be easier for him to track me and see what I look like everyday” Arya explained to Mila.

“So when grandpa said you were unemployed it was just a lie?”

“I don't know if I ever said that I was unemployed to grandfather, but from the way grandfather spoke at that time, I think grandfather already knew about my work” Arya replied casually.

“You think grandfather has told people to follow you?, you think like that Arya?, I just never thought grandfather would choose you for me” explained Mila.

“you who do not want to read and analyze every attitude of grandfather so far, typical grandfather is almost similar to Ari, the way of thinking is difficult to guess, so you do not have to worry about your company problems, or even your home problem, grandfather must have prepared the solution, people like that grandfather is not a careless man Mil, it seems that lying down can not be anything, even though his body is in the hospital, his eyes must be everywhere, so I can be this relaxed now,” explained Arya to Mila.

“what does that mean grandpa knows everything that happened to us?” asked Mila with concern.

“ya Lord Arya, grandfather must have been really disappointed in me, I really have disappointed him for what I did to you, my God, why can't I understand what happened all this time?” mila said in her guilty tone.

“grandfather just wants you to be happy, therefore grandfather just kept quiet because he realized you are also depressed because of this marriage of ours, he might deliberately let us be hit by a storm of such a heavy problem, he said, yes, some kind of psychological game that you choose me with your own heart, not grandpa's compulsion, now don't think about the problems we've been through, just think about our marriage going forward, you should get pregnant soon and give birth to a child for me” explained Arya casually.

“ihh you bawdy” said Mila with annoyance while pushing soft cheek Arya, the behavior that makes Arya smile to hear it, ‘dia has returned to calm as before Arya's inner’ saw Mila's behavior.

“does grandfather not know that the problem in my company is your company?” asked Mila who again asked her curiosity about Mr. Sarman.

“I don't think Mil, because Ari played very well, that's what I actually feared Mil, if you know, you'll hate me, as well as grandfather and mother, too, if they knew they would hate me too”

“I won't hate people like you Arya, I'm sure mom and grandpa won't hate you either,” Mila said as she touched Arya's arm.

“actually I also asked Ari to save your house, to test how hateful she is to you, I was actually not sure she would save that house, anyway, but she has shown that she can accept you as my wife, so don't worry about Ari” anymore.

"as long as you're by my side, I won't worry about anything" Mila said, trying to strengthen herself.

Arya momentarily took a deep breath, “now don't discuss that anymore, I'm lazy to think about what those people who play that strategy are doing, say, say, what questions did you want to ask earlier” said Arya switched their conversation.

Mila for a moment thought and saw the face of her husband, “this is the last time I asked this Arya, is there no other woman besides me?” ask Mila in full search.

“this is the last time I answered Mil, nothing at all, only you are the only one in my life, I love you with all my heart” Arya said earnestly. Mila smiled behind her veil.

“hatiku only for you Arya, fully my heart is yours” said Mila who made Arya instantly peeked short his wife's forehead.

“there's something else you want to ask?”

“Anjani, why was it that when he had a problem yesterday, he met you instead?” ask Mila full of search.

“why don't you ask her?, right she's the one who met me, not me who met her” Arya said in her flat tone.

“Aryaa, answer dong,”

“iya emang why did you suddenly ask Anjani?”

“because there are so many things I will ask you, one of them is who Anjani really is, he must be close to you right?, otherwise, he is not, he will not see you when there is a problem” Mila said with annoyance.

“Anjani? Who is Anjani?, why did I just hear his name?” said Tomy who brought 2 cups of tea in her hand. Tomy then placed the tea in front of Arya and Mila.

“You are not familiar with Anjani Tom?, meaning he is a new person dong in Arya's life?” ask Mila full of search.

Arya momentarily looked towards Tomy who was looking towards her with a look of astonishment.

“sit for a while Tom, you also have to know about Anjani” said Arya flatly.

Tomy then sits in front of Arya and Arya pushes her tea for Tomy. “ini drinks you” said Tomy saw Arya tea already in front of her.

“I can have a glass with my wife” said Arya back flat. The tone implied that Anjani's presence was like a heavy burden to him. Arya then glanced around them making sure no one heard the conversation.

“so who is Anjani?” tomy asked full of questions.

“just like Mila, someone who came from the past”
