Allena leaned against her husband's chest, they rested on the back porch while staring at Zifara who was running around following Zefano on the garden grass. Sometimes the boy fell down but got up again chasing Zefano. The laughter of the two children was heard in the ears of his father and mother.
Zefran dyed the top of his wife's hair, Allena turned to her husband. Zefran only smiled back at the beautiful woman's gaze. Today they are resting at home after yesterday's busy days preparing for their wedding reception.
"Where are we going on our honeymoon, baby?" ask Zefran.
Allena smiled, apparently her husband still wanted to realize his intention to pay for all the things that had been missed. Things to do like a newly married couple.
"I want to follow Brother's wish to pay for all the things that have been passed. But .. I'm afraid that if all we've done, we have nothing left to look forward to. I'm afraid Big Brother paid all, after that Big Brother left," Allena replied.
"Where may I be like that" said Zefran, wrapping his hand around his wife's body leaning against him.
"Yes, anyway I want Big Brother to still have debt to me. Most of you have already paid, I want the honeymoon debt to be debt to you forever so that you can not run away and always feel obligated to pay the debt," replied Allena.
Zefran laughed but resignedly if it was his wife's wish.
"Although I paid off all my promises to realize the dream of a newly married couple. I'll still owe you, I don't think it will ever be paid off" Zefran said.
"What debt is that?" ask Allena in wonder.
"My promise .. I promise I will love you forever, even if I take it every day. But the debt that will never be paid off. So don't worry, even if our honeymoon is done, I still have one debt to you for the rest of my life" Zefran said with a smile.
Allena smiled in her husband's eyes, wanting to find the truth. Zefran looked at his wife with a loving look. Allena turned to look at Zefran's lips, the woman opened her mouth slightly and prepared to stick it on Zefran's lips. The man was also ready to welcome the arrival of the sweet lips.
"Ehem, ahem,"
Allena's intention was void, Zefran smiled as he turned towards the voice.
"What's wrong Bi" asked Zefran to the housekeeper.
"There's a guest sir, that's Mr. Patrick coming," the waiter replied.
"Then just tell him to come here" said Zefran.
The waiter nodded and then left the place. Zefran wants to continue their pending intentions. But Allena pushed him while smiling.
"Why?" ask Zefran astonished.
"Later to the hunt someone will see" replied Allena.
"Well, Patrick is just annoying" said Zefran.
Allena laughed and sure enough Patrick showed up shortly after. Allena woke up from leaning on Zefran's chest. Welcome Patrick who came to the back porch of their house.
"Sorry to disturb your affection" Patrick said with a smile. Allena smiled too.
"Yes right, you've been bothering us. But it's okay because soon you will also be busy with your own family" replied Zefran.
They laughed, Patrick was welcome to sit down. Allena and Zefran wait for Patrick to explain his arrival.
"I'm here to thank you in particular for what happened yesterday" Patrick said.
"We just want to apologize because what we did yesterday has drained the feeling of Brother Patrick," replied Allena.
"Actually when the preparation of the event was completed, there was nothing else we thought about but you who still could not establish your heart. Allena is sure that you like Rahma. So I want to prove it and help you. I don't want to live happily alone with my family while you're still single" Zefran said at length.
Patrick smiled while looking down, it was unbelievable that his boss and best friend were so attentive to his status. Patrick doesn't think that Zefran will also be thinking about his personal problems.
"Allena is very affectionate with her sister, she also pity to see you still remain alone. Allena that if it has received the kindness of people he will look for ways to repay your cultivation," said Zefran.
"What did I do for you, Allena? I didn't do anything to you?" ask Patrick to Allena.
"Sister took care of everything until our wedding reception went well. I also just found out that in the past who arranged our wedding ceremony was also Brother Patrick. I haven't returned anything for Brother's help to us" Allena explained.
"But I was assigned to it, so I did have to work on it. Allena, you don't owe me anything" Patrick replied with a smile.
"Stay, Brother Patrick has done a good job and it is not not tiring. For that I want to repay Brother Patrick's kindness. We want Brother Patrick to be happy together with the people he loves. Moreover, I know that if Brother and Rahma like each other, we certainly can not stay silent to see the relationship of Brother Patrick who still has no clarity," said Allena.
"Thank you Allena, without your help my fate would be like my first love. Just submerged, not daring to reveal it," replied Patrick with a knotty smile.
"Sister Patrick has a first love? Then you should forget it. Don't hurt my brother for his unfinished first love, Brother Patrick. If you know like that, I'll make sure Brother Patrick completes first love Brother Patrick first," Allena said with a worried face.
"Why is that? You worry so much, like being paranoid about first love" Zefran said.
"Yes, first love is the most memorable love. The heart is like a piece of paper that is still white, the first love is the first scratch in the white sheet of paper. And the scratch remains even though other scratches come many times," said Allena.
Patrick smiled, hearing Allena liken someone's heart like a sketch painting. The man finally expressed his thoughts.
"You are right because first love is hope. Like a single scratch on a piece of white paper. Tucked away a hope will produce the perfect painting. But you forgot, that first scratch was just to bring up your intention to start painting. While your last scratch is a scratch to perfect your painting" Patrick said with a smile.
"You won't win against him" Zefran whispered to Allena.
Allena looked at her husband.
"Sister should support me" Allena said, pretending to sulk.
"Why should you support? I agree with Patrick. That first love may be a memorable love but that last love is true love. Honey, you want to be an effective love or a true love?" ask Zefran.
Allena pinched her husband's waist as it concerned linking to him. Zefran laughed with his carelessness. Patrick laughed at the behavior of his two friends.
"Just like Brother Patrick has to promise not to hurt Rahma" Allena said at last.
But the answer is Zefran.
"Where might he want to hurt Rahma. Rahma is his future wife if his intention would be to make Rahma happy, do not know how it ends," said Zefran who doubted.
"That's right?" ask Allena.
"Yes Allena, I promise I won't hurt her. Because she's the only girl in my heart now and forever" Patrick said.
"Ma, accompany Zeno to the park!" asked Zefano who suddenly came and immediately invited Allena.
The woman was confused to answer.
"Go, baby, go with Zeno" said Zefran.
"But."
"It's okay, I trust you. That widower is nothing compared to me. I'm not afraid to compete with him" Zefran said with a smile.
Allena was flabbergasted, Patrick was astonished and asked.
"Young?" ask Patrick.
"There are widows who are fascinated with Allena" said Zefran.
"What?"
"Sister,"
Patrick and Allena take turns to respond. Patrick was shocked because Zefran was so relaxed to say that because Zefran was jealous after all. While Allena does not want the problem revealed Zefran to Patrick.
Patrick finally laughed, while Allena was still confused to answer Zefano's invitation.
"Go! Its alright. I believe in you, after all I already know him," Zefran said, nodding.
Getting permission from Zefran, Allena also paid to accompany Zefano to play in the complex park. The boy was so happy to jump up and down and wave at Zefran and Patrick. Patrick returned the handsome boy's hand.
"You've made a lot of progress, you've started believing in your wife" Patrick said.
"Now that I realize, the problem actually arises because of lack of trust" said Zefran.
Patrick nodded and was grateful that Zefran had changed so much. Seemed more in control of himself, reducing his possessiveness to Allena. They continue the conversation while Allena has stepped up with Zefano and Santi holding Zifara.
Upon arriving at the park, Zefano immediately played with Zefania. As soon as he saw Allena, Zacko immediately left the mothers who were talking to him.
"Hello Allena" Zacko said, sitting next to Allena.
"Know my name from whom?" allena asked curiously.
"Your husband told me we had a good conversation here. I thought you weren't gonna be here anymore. You're afraid your husband is angry if you're friends with me, aren't you?" ask Zacko.
Allena just kept her head down. Now her husband seems like it doesn't matter if Allena knows Zacko. But Allena was still afraid.
"Every time I see you, I think of my wife" Zacko said.
Allena looked at him with a look of wonder.
"I don't think you're my wife but seeing your too rigid attitude toward men makes me think of my wife. His name is Cindy, we have been dating since we were in Junior High" Zacko explained.
Allena was flabbergasted in disbelief, the love that had been intertwined for so long, could end in separation. Without Allena realizing it, expressing her insecurities with her mouth open.
"You're so sweet with your mouth open. Zefran would have liked to surprise you, if your expression was that sweet" Zacko said with a laugh.
Allena shut her mouth immediately.
"Why did you split up after dating for so long?" allena asked finally to remove the awkwardness due to her flabbergasted expression that was clearly visible to Zacko.
"Because I'm too jealous, I think he's tired because I'm always suspicious of him" Zacko explained with a gloomy face.
"Can't go back with her?" ask Allena.
"She's been having an affair and I think she's married to that man" Zacko said with a lowered face.
"He was just accused of cheating or actually cheating?" ask Allena.
Upon hearing of Zacko's jealous nature, Allena felt, it was possible that there had been a misunderstanding. While Zacko was stunned to hear Allena's question.
"I think he was really having an affair, he even admitted it" Zacko said softly.
"The answer is uncertain, it means just an accusation" said Allena directly.
"What?" ask Zacko.
"Have you ever seen yourself? From your words implied uncertainty. And he admitted cheating must be tired of your jealous attitude" explained Allena.
"You think that's like that?" asked Zacko while looking at Allena.
Yes, because I've experienced it, fatigue is suspected to make me want to run away. But leaving doesn't mean my love for my husband is gone. I just want a break from all the accusations, inner Allena who can understand the feelings of Zacko's wife.
"Honey, your love that was fertilized for so long finally separated. I don't think it's easy to get rid of feelings that have gone so deep. If it wasn't for being too hurt, she wouldn't have left you" Allena said.
Zacko was pensive again, looking straight at the mothers who were accompanying his daughter's son to play. Then looking at Allena, Zacko felt that this time he could talk about his wife so openly with someone.
Allena is like someone who can understand the feelings of his wife while all this time the mothers who heard his story actually supported and comforted him for choosing to separate.
Allena looked down, staring at the falling leaves at the end of her feet. While Zacko pensively thought of Allena's words. Suddenly Zacko saw something moving. Allena raised her face, the woman was shocked. Zacko and Allena looked at the ball of the foot that was drifting towards Allena.
The male reflex protected Allena by hugging her. Zacko's back was hit by the ball, Allena was shocked.
"Are you okay?" asked Zacko in a position that still hugged Allena.
Allena who had been reflexively looking down now raised her face, making their faces become so close. While not far from the park, Zefran stepped in to catch up with Allena and her children. Zefran was surprised to see Zacko hugging and looking at his wife.
