The Heart (Nadira)

episode 45's

" Do you know why I brought it here?"

Nadira shook his head. Alby looked at him.

" I want to share a little story. Because I feel I'm getting comfortable with your presence right now. I see sincerity in your eyes, Dira. When you took care of me, there was not the slightest bit of disgust for me. Though I once...I'm ashamed to say it."

Nadira thins her lips. Look at Alby who started telling stories and slightly lowered his head.

" It's my duty as a wife. I take care of a sick husband, it's a field of reward for me, Mas."

Alby turned his head towards Dira, who was currently smiling thinly but sweetly in her eyes. Then nodded his head to understand what Nadira said.

" Do you know Dira? I have dreamed so much of having a happy family. With the people I love. Have a beautiful and handsome son. Who will welcome me when I return."

Alby breathed at that moment. Then his smile disappeared. And change with a straight forward look. Alby continued his story.

" I once aspired like this to my beloved. Name's Syifa. But apparently, Mama and Papa once approved. As strong as my heart and energy and Syifa always try to achieve the blessing of my parents. But the result is nil. Until finally Mama and Papa betrothed me and you."

Even though Dira has to lie to Syifa who she really is. And change his name. Being Sofia. The meeting was planned by Nadira, and made them make friends until now. Of course by still masking Dira's true identity.

Alby continued his story, without looking back at Dira. The view is straight ahead.

" I met Syifa, when we were both freshmen. It was an accidental meeting, and it turned out we were in the same faculty. I'm friends with him and Bram. We're very close. Everywhere always together. Until we got the title of quack-grandpa trio from our friends. But we're still just being sick."

Alby smiled faintly reminiscing about that time. And Alby looked towards Dira who was still faithfully listening to his story.

" When have you known each other's hearts?"

Nadira tried to ask. Even though his heart hurts. But all of those flavors are resistant.

" From semester three. At that time I saw Syifa approached by our senior, I felt not sincere. And when he gets harassed by her, I'm the one who gets the most angry. I beat up my senior all out. Until I got suspended from college. That's where I realized, my love for him, not my affection as a friend. But love as an adult male to a woman. And what makes me happier, it turns out my race was welcomed by Syifa. "

Alby smiled and told Dira his story. Dira also thinned his lips. Smiling bitterly. Resisting the pain that radiates from the heart, towards becoming clear crystals in his eyes. Nadira blinked her eyes, trying to keep the tears from falling on her face.
