The Little Wife of Arsen
Chapter 26: Dira Who Are You?
What he said to Saga a few minutes ago, was obviously something he said spontaneously and ended up with Alea who was silent saying nothing. Saga was gone, leaving her sitting staring at the waves on the beach covered by the dark night sky, as well as her heart on the brink of anxiety.
Arsen did not know what path he would take in the future, if he still hoped with Dira, he should not have said the relationship between himself and Alea to the Saga earlier. But hearing how Saga snapped at women, made his emotions rise instantly. Is this love or is it just him who really appreciates his mother who is also a woman? During his life Arsen never spoke in a high tone to his mother, therefore all women also deserve and treated the same.
Arsen looked straight at Alea who was now sitting in front of him with a plastic bag that was lined with cotton and ointment. Without question, Arsen knew his little wife had just cried because her eyes were reddened, traces of crying visible from the woman's face. Silently and without saying anything, Alea reached out her hand and applied the ointment on the corner of her lips, for a moment Arsen grimaced before finally turning back silent as Alea's sharp eyes pierced into her matan ball. From the lips, Alea's hands turned to rub the ointment in the corner of Arsen's eyes, occasionally the woman looked up at the ceiling as if she was holding back so that no more tears would slide, making Arsen's hand clench tightly and can no longer just stay still without saying anything.
"Winning for what Deck? Wound on the face mas, or you're found married in front of Saga"
Alea's hand that was smearing the ointment at the corner of Arsen's eye stopped instantly. He pulled it slowly along with his face looking up dispelling the sliding tears. From the many circumstances, it turns out that her husband even thought if he was crying because of the revelation of secrets? Then, which hurts more when she finds out her husband took her to Bali just to meet his ex?.
"You don't want to be caught? What other lies do you want Al to do? We've been married for almost 5 months, and your status is still as if you're single in front of your friends?. Even now just because of the words of the mas just now, you're up crying?"
Arsen's line of speech just now, made Alea's tears escape instantly. Without saying anything, Alea immediately stood up and intended to return to the inn. But his steps stopped his hand was held back by Arsen.
"Then, what about the mas? What other lies do you want to do to me?. Even ngajak me to Bali aja, not only for vacation, but mas have other intentions" Alea said before Arsen spoke.
"What else do you mean? Dismantle if you're actually a wife?"
Alea laughed sarcastically hearing that. Just this time during his life, there was a pain that he felt so painful after losing both of his masters first. And the attitude of the Arsenes who continue to pretend is the cause.
There was no Gita and Keke, Alea did not go to hide the burden that had been on her head since visiting Grandpa's house. Let's let go of everything, and see what kind of reaction her husband will show now.
"Mbak Dira's. He's here, isn't he?" Look, Arsen's expression changed instantly. The man's shock gave Alea her own answer if Arsen did intend to hide Dira for the rest of her life.
"Decks"
Arsen's body froze for a moment. Not answering anything, he just pulled Alea's hand and brought his wife into his arms.
Her husband's embrace clearly did not make the question just answered, therefore, Alea pushed Arsen's body until finally released. There was a sarcastic laugh coming out of Alea. Wouldn't it be that with her power that was defeated by Arsen alone could escape, it meant that it wasn't that big of her husband's desire to embrace her?.
Not returning to ask questions, Alea immediately turned her body and walked towards their inn. Leaving her husband who was silent without any movement to pursue her.

"Lo seriously want to sleep in the next room alone?" ask Gita who looks amazed when Alea offers to different rooms because of the size of the mattress that does not fit for three.
Alea nodded her head. Not wanting to be suspected with the questions of his two best friends, with a cellphone in hand, Alea went out and went into the room that was next to Gita and Keke's room.
The biggest reason to move rooms, was obviously because Alea wanted to cry herself. Wiping the burden on her without anyone knowing.
As soon as she lay down on the mattress with the pillow covering her face, Alea's cries broke instantly. Without realizing it had grown that big his heart felt for Arsen. The crying in silence continued for quite a while until finally the alternating fatigue came and made him start to fall asleep.
"Sorry deck. Maafin mas"
Refraining from being startled let alone frightened, Alea felt a hand encircling her waist before finally being pulled and her body in a hug from behind. From the scent of his body, Alea knew that the one who was embracing him now was Arsenio Yudhistira.
