Pride of Love

Question Mark

The wave of Andra's hand that had been seen from a distance made Amel increasingly develop a smile on his lips as he arrived at the arrival terminal. Amel rushed to her husband who had been for 1 week leaving her for a business trip out of town.

Andra immediately wrapped her hands around Amel's waist and kissed her forehead as they met, while holding their hands towards the pick-up area. Mr. Usman immediately took over Andra's suitcase and put it in the trunk of the car. Andra and Amel got into the car and sat in the passenger seat.

"I miss you dear!" Andra said as the car was already running slowly leaving the airport area.

"I'm just the same baby!" sahut Amel while smiling sweetly to Andra.

Andra again slipped her hand on Amel's waist and took him into his arms, his longing already unbearable after a few days of leaving his wife.

"Mmmmhhhh" without Babibu Andra immediately launched a kiss on Amel's lips. Not ashamed Amel also returned Andra's kiss without caring for Mr. Usman driver who sat in front of the driver was driving. For Mr. Usman, such a sight was common. He did not feel surprised or uncomfortable, but he was very able to understand the behavior of his young Master and Mistress who were drunk with love. Andra and Amel did often he saw doing deep kiss when in the car especially when after parting for a few days like now.

"How was your day, baby?" Andra asked a moment later.

"A lot of fun things happened this week dear" replied Amel while leaning his head on the sturdy shoulder Andra. Amel told her everything that had been in her path for a week without her husband. A sweet smile remains from Amel's lips when telling a story. Andra was not too focused on listening to Amel's story, he was busy playing Amel's hair while continuing to look at the beautiful face of his wife and her mouth that continued to chatter.

"I've got a new team in the office baby... tomorrow he's already started working!" Amel continued his story.

"Oh yeah? Good dong... You so someone help her work". Andra responded casually.

"Still I will review the performance first baby, if in three months he can work well then I will make him a contract employee" Amel brought his face closer to Andra, and Andra again kissed Amel's lips.

"Honey we go straight home papa ya! Papa called earlier making sure we had dinner and stayed there!" amel. Andra just nodded without refusing.

The car drove to Firmanto's residence.

There the Word had welcomed them and invited them to dinner together as usual. Andra and Amel were deliberately more often accompany the Word in his residence because they did not want the Word to feel lonely in his big house living alone. They decided to stay there for a few days.

That morning, Andra and Amel were at the table for breakfast, but the Word was not there, Amel went into the room of the Word and saw the Word preparing. Amel helped his papa tidy up his tie and suit.

"Well, pa, what's that!?" Amel pointed at the hair of the Word.

Firman immediately turned to the mirror and looked at his hair. "What's in your hair, baby? Nothing is!" Firman continued to look at his reflection in the mirror while rubbing his hair and feeling confused.

"There's a gray pa!" Amel smiled amusedly at the look on his confused papa's face.

"You're just confusing papa, kirain what's wrong?!, Papa this is old baby.. It's natural that there's a lot of gray hair." Word chuckled in response to his daughter's ignorant attitude.

"Who said you're old? Papa is still young pa.... still handsome! There are still many women out there who want to be the same papa!" Amel Temptation.

"Huh.ha.ha... Angel ... Amel!, you really like Papa's temptations, you really want to have a mama connect!" Word laughed at teasing his daughter.

"From the past, Amel never forbade papa to marry again, just papa who does not want to" Sahut Amel with an innocent tone.

"Let's have breakfast Pa! Andra's waiting at the dinner table!" Follow Amel again as he steps out of the Word's room and into the dining room.

For a moment Word fell silent looking at his reflection in the mirror. He looked at his face that looked no longer young and then he sighed softly.

"Hmmm... Maybe Amel was right, I should have married again and not let myself continue to be lonely like this" he murmured.

The Word still looked at his reflection in the mirror. His memory goes back to his youth, being a widower even with one child and having abundant wealth once made many women pursue him, they want to be his wife or just be a mistress is not a problem. But the Word never responded to all that, his heart was too broken because it was left by his wife before, it was not easy for him to rearrange his heart that had been broken and reopen it for another woman, the door of the room in her heart was locked tightly, making an excuse for her not to marry again.

By noon, the three had finished breakfast and were preparing to leave for the office. Firman is escorted by his driver while Andra takes Amel to his office first.

"Honey later tonight pick me up at the event venue yes, maybe around 9 o'clock the show is over!" Amel kissed Andra's hand and Andra kissed Amel's.

Amel then went into Mayra's studio and saw Mayra and Arini already there practicing Javanese dance.

Gamelan grooves were heard from the loudspeakers in the studio and Amel again amazed to see Arini who was so weak that he was dancing Gambyong Dance which will be staged as the opening event at the event later.

Prok...prok...!

Amel clapped his hand when Arin had finished his dance. "This oath is amazing, Arin you are indeed very good at dancing like that!" Praise Amel.

"Ah.. Miss Amel don't praise me, this is not what Mom!" Sahut Arin with blushed face.

Amel glanced at the clock on the wall of his office space. "It's 12 o'clock, we'd better go to the venue now, our crew will be there!" Amel prepared a sheet of paper on his desk containing the rundown of the event at his event that day and put it in a folder.

"Lo went first with Arin ya Mel, I still have to prepare a dancer costume that has not been done, all my kebaya nyiapin! Sahut Mayra who was busy choosing some clothes for the dancers.

"Good God I forgot! we have to use kebaya too, right?" Amel patted his eel because they just remembered their dresscode that day also had to adjust the theme of the event.

"The venue will be in the direction of your house Mel, you can stop by for a while take the kebaya as you leave!" Mayra.

"Yes, you really may!" Amel smiled happily.

Shortly after, Amel's car left his office and headed to the venue. Amel and Arin leave together.

"Sir Usman, we'll stop by the house for a while, yes, I'll take the kebaya first!" Amel's orders to his driver.

"Ready Non!" Answer Mr. Usman briefly.

The car entered the courtyard of Hadiwiguna's residence. Arin was very stunned to see a large and luxurious house in front of him, his eyes swept over all parts of the house that looked very beautiful.

"This is Miss Amel's house? Big and luxurious like a palace!" he cried with his mouth open so amazed to see the house.

"This is my husband's house! Come on in wait inside!" Amel's orders while bringing him in.

Nur greeted them kindly and escorted Arin into the living room. "Bi Nur please make me a drink for my friend yes, I'll go to the room for a bit!" Amel left Arin in the living room.

Arin was more stunned to see the entire house, his eyes continued to look at all corners of the room, luxurious furniture and unique classic decoration all look very beautiful in the net. His gaze then turned to a large photo attached to the wall of the middle room. Slowly Arin walked up to the photo.

"This is a wedding photo of Bu Amel, she is indeed very beautiful with traditional Balinese clothing like this!" Arin continued to mutter in admiration. But he suddenly jerked when staring at the face of the couple Amel in the photo, a face that looks very familiar to him. "Mas Jovan?" Arin drew his eyes closer to the photo. "Suami Bu Amel is very similar to Mas Jovan, is this him?" the question now came to his mind.

"Absolutely impossible!" Heart refused. "Mas Jovan is a very simple man, there is no way he has a house as big and luxurious as this, after all said Ms Amel her husband's name is Andra. It might just be a similar coincidence!" Arin tried to get the thought out of his mind but his eyes still continued to look at the man in the photo so he did not realize he had been standing in front of the photo for a long time.

"This wine hasn't been drunk? Why are you standing there?" Arin is nervous and Amel's loud voice surprises Arin from her daydream.

"Oh yes Miss Amel thank you!" Arin turned her body and stepped towards the sofa.

"What is a wedding photo of Amel? Married mom in Bali huh?, Bu Amel looks very beautiful in that photo!" He hid his nervousness.

"Not a picture of Rin's wedding! me and Andra were married when we weren't equally ready to accept each other so we never had a wedding photo, it was a photo of our holiday in Bali and it happened to be the wedding of his cousin Andra!" Amel told a smiling story remembering his sweet memories in Bali with Andra.

"Let's drink Rin first, after that we have to go to the venue, our preparation time is just a little!" Amel resolute.

Arin immediately gulped down the juice that was brought by Nur. They then returned to the car leaving the Hadiwiguna residence to the venue.
