The Ark of Love Nurmala

With New Car

The next day Aldi invited Nurmala to the car showroom, choosing the color, type, brand of the latest output by adjusting the pockets they have.

"You sure you chose this one Nur!?" tanya Aldi who was in front of the steering wheel of the car Kijang LX dark blue. Nurmala sat beside him while inspecting the interior.

"I'm steady this Kang rather than gray, or red" Nurmala said solidifying the choice while giving Aldi confidence to pay for it.

All has been done Aldi, slowly Aldi drove his new car to the highway, although he can drive but he needs hours to fly further.

"Kang's dead!" nurmala said she was surprised because when she turned the corner her new car died.

"Casual Nur, not used to it, the clutch is not yet balanced!" aldi said as he restarted his car. The car horn behind them is in the ocean asking not to block the road.

A moment later Aldi drove back, sweat pouring down his forehead. Slowly but surely he again drove on the highway, and finally arrived in front of Nihaya's contract.

Tin.tiin, Aldi intentionally honks to get Rudi and Nihaya out of the house.

"Eye.ada bude Nur!" nihaya said as she came out with Asti in her carriage.

"Assalamualaikum Asti?!" greet Nurmala to baby Asti in a sling Nihaya. The 5-month-old girl laughed as she looked at Nurmala's face.

The small mouth that had not yet grown teeth was adorable as it frowned with Nurmala's jokes.

"New car is Al?" asked Rudi while approaching Aldi's car parked in front of his rental.

"Yes Rud, make it easier to deliver goods out of town, if you use a tired motorbike and do not fit much!" papar Aldi's.

"Cool, cool!" praise Rudi while stroking the body part of the car. Aldi seemed to smile proudly at his achievements.

"Look yuk!" Rudi invited Aldi to follow his wife into the house. Nurmala seemed very happy holding Asti while swaying and singing so that the baby could laugh happily. Nihaya prepares a drink in the kitchen.

"Astis...The ciluuk.ba!... Ciluuk!" Aldi invites Asti communication who is in the arms of Nurmala. He chuckled at Pakde's joke.

A moment later Nihaya came out of the back room with two cups of warm tea.

"Have you checked again, Nur?" ask Niha.

"Check what, I'm fine!" answer Nurmala casually.

"Did you not want to immediately have a cute and adorable child like Asti? the jewel of solace's heart" asked Rudi.

,Aldi was just speechless, in his heart was eager to have children, but what more if it had not been given as well.

"Ah, just made relaxed Rud, later if it was time we would also have children!" nurmala replied, all silent.

"Oh yeah, I forgot, I bought something for Asti!" Nurmala handed Asti to her mother, then she rushed to open the car door to pick up a package.

"This is for you beautiful!" nurmala said showing the package in front of Asti's tiny face, the baby immediately grabbed it.

"Oh, I understand!" Nurmala pinches chubby Asti's cheek. The little girl whined asking for Nurmala's cradle. Nihaya opens a gift package from Nurmala.

"Smake up Nur's shirt pisan!" niha said happily.

"That's my gratitude for helping me promote my baby bag Niha!" Nurmala smiled happily.

"I'm going to the bathroom first Asti baby!" nurmala said as she stroked Asti's hair. He rushed into the back room of Niha's contract.

Ting.tung..Ting. tung.

"Your phone!" yell Aldi to Nurmala.

Finally Aldi took Nurmala's cell phone.

"Rashiah? Assalamualaikum mas Rasya, how's it going?" greet Aldi while connecting Rasya's phone.

"There's new and good stuff!" Aldi promoted his new product, Rasya promised to come see if there was a chance to come to Bandung. Rasya then hung up.

"Who's Kang?" nurmala asked as she saw Aldi talking on her phone. Nurmala was silent when she found out from Rasya.

"We go home, Nur, we have to get ready!"

"Prepare kamana?" ask Nihaya.

"Tomorrow morning We're going to Blitar!" Nurmala stood up while throwing her bag. "Bude came home first Asti" he said as he kissed Asti's cheek that fell asleep in Nihaya's sling.

Aldi and Nurmala waved, then left Nihaya's rented yard. Arriving at home, Nurmala immediately prepared the goods and supplies that would be needed on her maiden trip to the city of Aldi's birth.

There is a sense of palpitations, as well as haru in Nurmala's heart when imagining his meeting with the Aldi family, especially Lila's younger sister Aldi who really wanted to meet him.

Early in the morning Aldi and Nurmala were ready to lock the house and production room that for the next two days they released.

"Bismillah, go!" whispered Aldi's mouth when he started opening his car.

The new car looked shiny as the morning sunlight began to hit his back which moved over the streets. Traffic that was once empty is now crowded with motor vehicles. Aldi drove his car carefully.

By midday they had entered the city gate. " We'll rest first Nur!" said Aldi while looking for a parking position in a rest area. They come out and find a comfortable sitting position.

"Mas Aldi huh?" a woman greeted Aldi.

"Anise?" aldi replied a little surprised, because he did not expect to meet his ex at that place.

"Anisa, this is Nurmala, my wife!" Aldi pointed to where Nurmala was standing. Anisa reached out to shake hands, and was greeted warmly by Nurmala's hands.

"Anisa was my friend at Nur High School!" aldi said, Nurmala just smiled kindly.

"You alone Anisa?" nurmala asked when she didn't see anyone with Anisa. But after a long conversation, a man appears with a boy, whom Anisa calls her husband and son.

"Anisa, this is my card. If you need a bag or business bag, please call my number!" aldi said as he held out the card from his wallet. Anisa smiled, then left the two of them. But oddly enough he rode the motorcycle alone, leaving behind the man he called his husband and son.

"They're both really Anisa's family?" ask Nurmala wonder.

"Say he is, but never mind! that's her business Nur, we eat yuk first, my stomach is hungry!" Aldi asked Nurmala to release his provisions.

Some time to rest, tiredness is no longer together, Aldi again drove the car to his village.

"Kang Aldi used to be familiar with Anisa?" Nurmala is still thinking about Aldi's High School friend.

"It's good, but I don't really understand his life right now. Ah no, Nur, why do you keep wanting to talk about Anisa anyway?" Aldi feels uncomfortable if he has to recall his past.

"I feel like there's something like Kang!" Nurmala followed his premonition.

"Well, nothing! Look at Nur that was my school! there are so many memories here" Aldi said with a smile as he passed by a high school building. Aldi stopped his car for a moment, the building looked deserted.

"Hehehe, surely Akang used to have a girlfriend here huh?" nurmala Ledek. Aldi laughed at that time.

"Yes, it's the past, my future is you!"
