All the burdens that Mirah pendam alone, slowly felt light after sharing it with someone who he had angap like his own daughter. Although born from a poor family, but Mirah was pleased with the innocence and simplicity of the beautiful girl. Until there was no reason for him to linger in the residence of his son.
For a few days, he had missed the quiet house on the edge of his mountain. After the departure of Surya Atmadja before the divine, Mirah tried to hide away and leave all the urban frenzy. Choose to live quietly in a cool air-conditioned house that blends with nature. It was there that he stayed a few years, trying to rise up and forget the sad memories of a few years ago.
Mirah holds Zara's hand tightly and several times convinces the girl to keep loving her son and persevere with the knotted bond of marriage.
"But Zara is afraid of Mom."
"Otherwise you need to be afraid, Arka alone already looks to love you, there is no way you will lose it," seduced Mirah by winking one net.
"It's not Mom."
"Then what else if not that," Mirah a little furious, the article has been countless times he tried to convince, but still stored doubts in the daughter-in-law.
Zara was silent but her mind drifted far away. Recalling a few moments with Arka that made him smile and blush embarrassed.
Could it be that Lord Arka really loves me. But, I also must not be big-headed, which there is precisely immeasurable shame if what you say is not true. Alright, it would be better if I asked Mr. Arka directly but, do I have that kind of courage to be able to ask all that.
The girl still seemed to think, and only occasionally looked at the mother-in-law's face and gave her a smile.
******
It was almost midnight, but a tiny body under the blanket was still awake. His conversation with Mirah in the library some time ago is still clearly ringing in memory. He also resolved not to sleep until the husband came home and asked his true feelings.
Zara almost closed the netra that could not resist sleepiness when the door of the room showed movement. As usual, Arka deliberately opened without a sound, because he did not want to disturb the comfort of the wife who was sleeping soundly.
How is this, why my heart is getting so unconditioned. Better, I pretend to sleep.
Zara deliberately closed her net tight and as much as possible did not move like she was sound asleep, but she installed a sharp sense of hearing and occasionally peeking from the blind tail that she opened faintly.
After loosening the tie and taking off his suit, the man's footsteps were heard approaching the bed. Getting closer until a warm kiss landed on the top of the kapala the girl who was pretending to be asleep. Swab it gently before heading to the bathroom to clean yourself.
There was a shower from the bathroom. Zara opened her net and took a deep breath. Groping the chest, where the heartbeat feels faster spur. The girl was afraid to move, in case the husband appeared and found her awake, of course she would feel a sense of peerless shame.
Long enough Zara held on to her position, not sleeping but also not moving with the net tightly clenched. Footsteps sounded, the girl's guts shriveled with sweat began to drip at the temple. AC room was useless at a crucial time like today.
The sound of the door opening. The girl also tried to peek from the gap of the blanket that closed it. Arka opened the door that was connected to the balcony in their room. The handsome man seemed to be wagging his hair that was still half wet and was blown away by the night wind that was blowing hard
Grey T-shirt that looks fit on the body and combined with casual pants dark color alone feet make it look amazingly handsome.
Arka stood with her hands holding the iron balcony railing. Look at the nightlife of his luxurious residence from above. The wind does not make it cold. The man seemed to be enjoying and moving from the place.
How's this. Ask no yes.
Zara was worried amazingly. One side he doubts, but on the other side he also needs certainty.
If I ask and you answer not to love me how? Ah whatever. Stupid timing. Shame I'll take responsibility. But...
Forward backwards. With a firm determination, the girl opened her net and pulled the blanket away in full force until the goose feather blanket was helplessly slung on the floor.
His bare feet he stepped towards the balcony door. Getting closer, Arka's broad back was already visible. Suddenly the girl stopped her steps, touching the chest where her heart was.
Hang in. Don't faint before I've succeeded in asking.
Brug*t*..
Without a warning the girl immediately clasped the wide back of the man from behind. Arka gasped and tried to rebel but the tiny hand and ring embedded in the ring finger reminded her of someone.
"Zara," he said immediately after turning around.
The girl was equally surprised, especially now that their position was facing.
"You haven't slept? It's late at night." The swipe at the top of the head landed perfectly.
Zara just shyly nodded while bowed.
"waiting me? Aren't you always asleep when I get back to work?"
Yes, but not tonight sir.
"There's something I'd like to ask you, sir." That girl was so ashamed beyond measure.
Arka knitted her eyebrows together looking incomprehensible to mnduk and leaned her face to line the wife's fingers.
"About what?"
The girl also hesitated, finding Arka's face looking at him fixedly.
"About That..."
Arka who still did not understand was getting closer to his face and there was almost no distance between the two.
"That's what?"
Warm breath seemed to gently sweep the face of the girl who was unable to cover the red hue on the face.His heart even beat faster unable to control.
How is this, I ask or not? If not, I'll be curious all my life.
"Do you really love me?" he said softly and for a second then turned his face after speaking. It feels unable to return the gaze of the husband that feels plunged to the heart. To be honest he had cursed his tiny lips that are sometimes difficult to control if the level of his wish is already on the threshold.
The handsome man gasped and nodded. His slightly open lips were in disbelief at what he had just heard.
"What do you mean, I still don't understand. Try saying it again?" pinta Arka by sharpening all the senses in his body.
Whahuh?
"Do you really love me?" Zara slightly raised her voice until her husband buzzed.
Arka was surprised not playing, and followed by laughter. Apparently he did not hear wrong.
"Why do you have to ask?"
Why, why ask back. That's right, if you don't love me.
"That means, sir does not love me?" That timid-looking face turned slightly disappointed.
"That's not what I mean." He immediately uttered his words and cupped his wife's face. "Whether of all that we've been through, you still don't know how much I love you."
Zara fell silent, but returned the husband's gaze.
"I'm the one who should be asking about your feelings. Do you really love me?"
Zara was wide-eyed, her body stiffening instantly.
Why ask me about my feelings.
It is still vague to explain what his feelings are like. But he did not want to deny himself, and chose to lie to himself. And now is the right time.
"I love you Mr." Zara said.
Arka gaped in disbelief.
"Certainly, you married me not because you had to?" Arka slightly shakes Zara's shoulders to make sure more.
"Initially that was the case, I married Mr. because of Miss Anastasya. However, now the sense of compulsion began to be disguised with all the love that you have given." said Zara once again.
I can hardly believe Arka heard it. Amidst the pounding of hearts racing against each other, the man turned his lips and landed right on the red lips teasing Zara. The girl who had tiptoed and retreated a few steps, but Arka's hand moved quickly and held the nape of the wife to stay in position.
The breeze of the night increasingly adds to the nuances of shahdu created between a pair of human children who are vaporizing a sense of happiness. As if there was no longer any distance, Arka increasingly close her body to the wife and pour out all feelings
