Title: Sleeping Beauty (Part 4)

_________________________

“The most special girl for me is you, not Chika or anyone” Reveal Alfi while slowly grasping my hand tightly, who could not say anything more out of amazement at what was happening today.

“You are unique, different from other girls I have met. You are good, you are cute, you are funny, let alone your excessive sleeping habits, that is what makes you unique” he said with a smile.

I could only be silent for 1000 languages, without me noticing the clear grains started flowing back soaking my eyes until they dripped slowly over my cheeks. There was a sense of haru when Alfi said all the things about me just now, it meant that I also had a place in his heart, like he who had the most special place here, in my heart.

“You know everything about me from where?”

“Every day you always make me curious to find out all about you, so whatever I will do so that I know about you, including always being near you when you come out with Poppy”

“So you followed me?”

“Heheheh Yes ”

“So you also know that I..”.

“Iya I know, but you lose fast. I was the first to often care about you since our class orientation 3 years ago”

“Al... You don't joke around, you say rich gini just let me be excited right? Because you already know that I loved you. You can't be careful who I am, who am I? I'm nobody Al. If you talk rich gini only on the basis of pity you better go home.” I said out of nowhere I could think like that, maybe from the words of Alfi that seemed unreasonable in my opinion. My tears are flowing.

“Hey... hey.. For God's sake I'm not kidding, Ra. What I said is all true. You ask who are you? You are Special to me, you are the person I love” replied Alfi while slowly wiping my tears.

“But why do you have to wait for 3 years, tell me the same thing? You know, if I can't talk to you about how you feel. Because I think you don't know me at all

“Because I love you too much, I want to know you as a whole, so for 3 years I have remained at this point. The point where you are the center of my attention every day”.

“Al ... This time I did not dream right?” My sobs started to stop, I believe this time he did not lie.

“Hmmmm dream or not ya?” Canda Alfi with a smile.

“Alfi.

“Yes not Lah” he replied while pinching both of my cheeks.

“That means?”

“I...real not dream..”.

Alfi smiled and nodded slowly.

I subconsciously hugged Alfi, so happy. “I love you, Alfi” I said with sobs, happy cries more precisely. “I still can not believe what has happened today, everything is rich'dream” Isakku in his arms.

“This is not a dream, Ra. I really love you. The incident you passed out at the bookstore yesterday, made me realize that I have to speak the truth with you”

“Why?” I asked while taking off my arms.

“Because I want to, you know that I will always keep you.”

“Thank you, Al”

“Iya. Don't cry, I don't like seeing you cry. You are more beautiful if again smile” Back Alfi wiped the tears that wet my cheeks with both thumbs.

“Aira, Alfi” Poppy and Mommy come to us with astonished and curious faces to see our closeness.

“Mother, Poppy” my asking is a bit shocked. Alfi was no less surprised.

Poppy suddenly smiled seeing the two of us, “Hmmm...aunty kaya'nya bertar again there will be ni” Sindir Poppy who invited my round smile.

Me and Alfi could only smile, with faces that met red.

“Tante, look.. his cheeks on that red... timid but want that aunt.

“Poppy... have dech” Pintaku while looking at him.

“Hahahha. I'm glad to see you Happy, Ra” Poppy smiles while embracing my shoulder. “Al... don't make Aira cry yes. He is ugly if again nangis” Canda Poppy who invites a smile Alfi even mother.

I turned my eyes towards the hospital room window. From there I saw the evening sky was getting orange. The evening sky is always beautiful, but today to me it looks more beautiful, because I have had the happiness I have been waiting for for a long time. A thing I thought would just be a dream and an outdated hope that would not come true. But today I got an answer from my real dream. A most beautiful dream does not mean it can never come true. One question is, is this the beginning of my dream? I hope yes.

I love you Alfi, I really don't want to lose you.

The End's
