Tarnished On The Bride's Night

Marry Me~ Alif

It has been counted for a week Dara lived in that house. Not only the two, but with Jack also even though only going home at night. Unlike the more Alif at home.

“You guys often I stay alone during the day. Hopefully nothing happens,” Jack quipped in the morning, when they were enjoying tea together. Of course not only drink, but also read the news that is published today.

“What did you mean?” Alif asked despite knowing his point. “I'm still sane.”

“Sane people are unlikely to put people's wives into our house, be go!” jack said stirring but with a sound was slowed so that Dara who was in the kitchen area there did not hear.

“Yes already, if you are not comfortable, we'll just move.”

“It's more be go again!” back Jack blames. He was so grumpy that he loudly yelled at his head which only contained about purity. How is it not?

Just imagine, how much time, thoughts, funds, and also energy just for a Dara. Women who are not sensitive at all, amit-amit, inner Jack swore.

“Domisili while we've been worked on, settle here, do not you change also I'm tired of making it. I know what makes it hard now. Please open your eyes and realize, all this time you have sacrificed too much.”

“Devices can be bribed. It's been an open secret.” Alif suggested the easiest path. He doesn't like complexity much.

“Too indulging makes them even more ignorant. Later their stomachs are getting distended eating illegal money," said Jack. "But on the other hand I'm still at home here, don't you tell me to move too, except for the one you moved. Or—”

“Or what?” Alif immediately interjected.

“Married him, so I could calm down.”

Alif nodded.

“About that problem, you haven't said it?” ask Jack about the Dara kidnapping night.

“If I have said so, where might she want to stay with me.”

“Lantas when will you be honest? The longer you lie the harder it is to reveal it.”

“Later there will be time.”

“Be careful, Al.” Jack repeatedly reminded her that Dara might have been able to get her to the law. No kidding. Alif can be snared various articles at once. The family will be in shock too. Not to mention his name being smeared and he had to lose his future. Love makes him wrong.

“I know what to do,” said Alif calmly.

“I'm trying to believe.”

While in the kitchen, Dara was humming along while cooking fried rice for them together.

Nothing is free in this world, and of course Dara will do a lot for Alif as a reciprocal alias budinya because it has been allowed to stay.

Dara has slowly accepted that she may be a small part of humans who are less fortunate in a happy marriage. He just realized this and it might sound a little strange, because it turns out that the person he wants and loves the most, is actually the person who better not be in his life. Many things that Dara just discovered after going to—, one of them; in life, sometimes there are those that can not walk according to our wishes.

He is now in the phase of not wanting anyone in his peaceful life. I don't want to think about anything. Not because of trauma, but because you are enjoying the time that was once wasted.

The fried rice was ripe, he prepared it at the table, then allowed the Gentlemen to enjoy his homemade breakfast. After that, Dara was quick to do homework.

One month later....

Alif: Will you be able to go out in the afternoon?

Dara had just read a message from Alif that had apparently been sent since half an hour ago. He retaliated because Dara did not want Alif to wait too long for his reply.

Dara: Where to?

Maybe it has become a habit of everyone, they will definitely wait by walking back and forth. The same thing Dara did.

Less than a minute later, the phone rang the incoming message. Alif reply.

Alif: We're going somewhere. There's something I want to talk about. Wear the clothes I have prepared on my bed. You just go in.

“What will you talk about, Lif?”

Suddenly Dara's heart was pounding. Frankly, all this time, he had always expected Alif's return. Even Dara herself did not understand why so quickly her feelings grew even though she was still quite small. The presence of Alif in him now can be said to be a speck of rain water that comes when a long drought hits. Dara strongly believes that her feelings for Chandra are quite the opposite; it is eroding. It was evident that during the separation, he did not think too much about it.

‘Happy birthday, Dara. May long healthy life always and be happier.’

A row of sentences is not a romantic sentence, but it feels so because Alif said it. Because usually Alif is a person who tends to be stiff.

“I forgot that today is my birthday. Thank you for saying it to me. You're the only one who cares,” muttered Dara with an arch of a smile.

And in the afternoon, as promised—Dara wore the dress that Alif had prepared for her. Black dress shirts oversize below the knee that mix match with belts, and block heels. He also carried a small neutral colored bag to support his appearance.

“So your taste is like this, Lif?” Dara smiles feeling a little flattered because she can be one of the selected women among the many women out there who may be more beautiful—one of them Youari; former Alif who Dara knows.

After getting ready, he immediately headed to the Hotel that Alif had promised. Once there, Alif was waiting for him in the lobby. Very handsome and compatible with his clothes. She helped open the door, reached out her hand and said in praise, “You are beautiful.”

The praise successfully made Dara blush.

Alif took him to the highest floor. When it opens, look at a luxury restaurant with open space where the outer wall is made of glass. With a table close to the wall, they can see the busy atmosphere of the road and the open nature freely.

Dara headed to the edge of the place to be able to see the bottom. The afternoon sky was so bright it was shaking off the cotton clouds.

“I myself a genuine people area have never been here, Lif. I like.”

“Good if you like. Again, happy birthday.”

“Thank you, Lif. Thank you.” Dara smiled and glanced at him. That was all he could do because he couldn't respond to it any other way. He also looks more embarrassed because this time Alif is like being so attentive to him.

It felt one hand holding Dara's hand so that the woman reflexively looked at the perpetrator.

Deg ....

Their eyes were clinging to each other as if they were showing feelings for each other.

“Dara ...,” says Alif initiated the conversation. Still looking at him late. “Please your husband, we'll get married.”

Dara lowered her head for a moment before she straightened her head again to say softly, “Alif .. I am a former person, my own husband just does not want to accept me.”

“Don't be too condescending, no dirty woman. All women deserve to be loved sincerely,” Alif said encouragingly.

“I'm still like three years ago, love you,” he said again after a pause of a while.

Making Dara frown with her lips slightly open.

“I love you, Ra,” Alif repeats with teary eyes. Her lips until they seemed to tremble held the chest that was so tight. He held this feeling for too long. “I beg you, Ra. This time you believe, I'm not kidding.”

Suddenly Dara pulled her hand to cupper her face which now turned strange followed by tears that broke. He was so full and miserable. “Why don't you ever say it?”

“Never say that!” sahut Alif did not accept this silly question. “I reveal it every day. But you yourself who have never seen let alone realized it.”

“Why am I so stupid?” Dara blamed herself.

“Don't let me lose another chance, Ra. Know it? I've wasted a lot of time expecting you. I chose to live here to be close to you.”

"Alif .. You should have said." Dara is getting more and more confused. Slowly, Dara extended her hand and pointed at the chest of the man in front of her. “What here hurts?”

“You can imagine for yourself.”

“What is true, I am because you are never close again to another woman?”

Alif nodded, “That's one of them.” he clasped Dara's hand again then again said, “Solve your relationship with Chandra, we'll get married.”

“But—” Dara worried about Chandra and his family.

“You should be sure. Now, come with me,” said Alif again then take her back to the lobby and show her something.

At the reception, there were a couple who were hugging in ordering the room unit and made Dara shake her head—but she was not so surprised because she had suspected the man before.
