"Mommy says ... Yumna will replace me, so Mommy added Robert, A," Syifa replied softly.
"Continue?"
"Yes Robert said he didn't. But I'm here to see ... Mami still wants Yumna to be Aa's wife. I'm so scared, A." The clear circle on Syifa's eyeballs instantly decayed, flowing down both of her cheeks.
"Lho, how come you cry, Yang?" Joe looked surprised. He slowly sat down, then grabbed Syifa's body and carried her into the arms. But the woman was crying.
"Hiks! Hicks! Hicks!"
"Yang .. don't cry. And what are you afraid of? You will forever be my wife, forever, Yang," Joe said. He gently rubbed Syifa's back, then peeked at the top of her hijab.
"But I was afraid, Aa would turn away from me. And choose Yumna. She's beautiful, A."
"No way, Yang," Joe replied confidently. "I already have you, and I love you so much. So I can't turn away from the others. Including Yumna."
"It's not a lie, is it? Aa really loves me, right?" ask Syifa who looks unsure.
"Lho, the time until now you have not been aware as well. What if I love you?" Joe stroked a hug, then cupped his wife's cheeks and slightly raised his face, so that their eyes could see each other. Joe also wiped away the tears that remained on his wife's cheeks. "Indeed all this time, my sacrifices have been less convincing, huh, Yang?"
"Convincing, anyway, A. It's just that I'm still scared."
"Not to be afraid. You should have believed in your husband, if I were a loyal man." Joe approached, then scooped Syifa's lips. But it was only for a moment, because Syifa directly pushed her chest. "Lho, why?"
"I'm not done talking, A. Don't nyosor yet."
"Oh. please continue." Joe nodded his head.
"What about Yumna wants to be that model ... Really, right, yeah, Aa don't accept her? I don't want him to work in Aa's office, later there's Aa and he often meets you guys who end up sneaking."
"No." Joe shakes. "He wouldn't have taken me to work if you were jealous of him, Yang."
"But, not jealousy, A."
"Continue what? The proof is that you said you didn't want to?"
"Yes the same. You're jealous, right?"
"Ih no, A .. not jealousy," Syifa denied, which seemed obvious if she was lying. Joe could read from both of his eyes.
Syifa seems to have a high prestige. So he didn't reveal if it was true that he was jealous.
"If you are not jealous, the sign is that you are not in love with me dong?" Joe nodded with a sad look.
"Now, no, A!" she rebutted Syifa while shaking her head quickly. "Jealousy does not mean love."
"So you're in love with me?"
"Eng ... Yes if it is, anyway, how about, yes?" Syifa looks wrong. But both of his cheeks were instantly blushing.
"How's kok? Yeah, how do you feel about me?"
"I guess .. I don't need to tell Aa I already know. How do I feel about you now."
"I don't know" said Joe. "Well, you tell me."
"G ... Aa must be pretending." Syifa pushed up Joe's chest, then lay down beside him. "Udah, let's sleep, A. It's also late, right?"
"The answer was my question, Yang, just went to bed." Joe grabbed Syifa's hand. He looks agitated himself, and wants his wife to express her love for him.
"Which question?" ask Syifa to pretend.
"What do you love me for yet?"
"I'm ashamed to say it, A."
"Same husband himself embarrassed? No exclamation ah you mah." Joe pursed his lips with a disappointed look. He also slowly reclined, but on his side and turned his back to Syifa. "That means you haven't loved me yet, huh, Yang? Duh ... very sick, yes, it feels .. it turns out that all this time my love clapped one hand," he added while touching the chest that suddenly felt tight.
