Unknown Love's

Open the Heart

Two days passed. Since Erlangga's departure to Surabaya, Kinara spent more time in the room, resuming her delayed writing. Only when Ajeng came home would he be in the main room, accompanying his sister-in-law.

"Hi sis, still busy?", asked Ajeng suddenly popping his head from behind the door.

Kinara, who had been focusing on writing novels on her laptop, was unaware of Ajeng's arrival.

"You surprised me, Jeng", replied Kinara as she stroked her chest. He got out of bed and closed his laptop.

"sorry".

Kinara and Ajeng sat together on the balcony. Enjoy the evening accompanied by two glasses of orange juice and a large bowl of pop corn that they just made together.

"Hmm.gak no Mas Angga deserted yes sis", seloroh Ajeng.

Kinara smiled faintly, "Yes", she replied shortly.

"I was curious, how did you feel to Mas Angga?", asked Ajeng. He had already changed his sitting position facing Kinara.

Kinara sighed deeply, a question that was hard to answer.

"Can you just call my name without the addition of 'sister'?", Kinara switched the conversation.

"Why? brother doesn't like it? mama you who asked me to get used to calling brother", explained Ajeng with his mouth still actively chewing.

"I just miss being called by my name like I used to, it feels more familiar" Kinara explained.

Ajeng seemed to think for a moment, "Alright, but if there is Mas Angga or papa and mama, I call brother huh. It can run out of me if you call a name without the title of brother", Ajeng mimicked the fierce face of Erlangga and it made Kinara laugh freely.

"So, how's Ra?", asked Ajeng again.

"What's the matter?".

"Hhmm.your feelings Ra. How do you feel about Mas Angga? You are getting married because you are being betrothed, certainly not an easy thing to be able to accept that. Yes even though I know anyway, if my brother loves to die with you", Ajeng repeated the question at the beginning.

Kinara sighed deeply.

"I can't answer that, Jeng. Too hard".

Ajeng scrunched his forehead, "Difficult? why?", he's getting more probed.

Kinara looked at Ajeng inside.

"Eitherway. But one thing is for sure Mas Erlangga is very good to me and I can feel all the kindness, care and affection", replied Kinara honestly.

"Then, why are you confused by how you feel if my brother is that good?", Ajeng was still curious.

Kinara lowered her head. He doesn't know what to answer.

"What this has to do with...Farhan?", asked Ajeng carefully.

Degs...

Kinara's heart beat as Farhan's name was called. I don't know what his heart feels.

"Ra?", Ajeng broke his best friend's daydream.

"Eh..yes..what?", Kinara.

Ajeng smiled faintly, "Farhan is back in Germany" he said suddenly.

Kinara was silent hearing Ajeng's words.

'He used to leave without news. Two months ago he came to see me suddenly and now he's gone again without any news', Inner Kinara. His chest just felt tight.

Drrtt..ddrr.

Kinara's phone vibrated, there was Erlangga's name on the screen.

"Hallo darling. What do?".

"I was enjoying the twilight with Ajeng, mas".

"Oh. Honey, do you miss me?", asked Erlangga to the point.

Kinara's face blushed. Ajeng who had noticed the movements of his sister-in-law smiled amusedly.

'Sure Kak Angga teased him', the mind of Ajeng who did not stop enjoying pop corn at the table.

"Darling...are you still there?", asked Erlangga who had been waiting for Kinara's answer.

"Oh i.iya mas, sorry. I'm still here", replied Kinara nervously.

Erlangga's smile rattled, 'She is still shy', he thought, imagining Kinara's blushing face just from being asked like that.

"I miss you and miss your body, baby", again, Erlangga teases Kinara.

Kinara's feelings are getting worse. He gave the code to Ajeng for permission to enter the room, Ajeng nodded his head. She understood, her two brothers must have been talking about something very personal.

"Don't tease me like that" Kinara replied upon arrival in the room.

There was a crisp laugh of Erlangga at the end there.

"Why laugh, my mom? is there anything funny?", sergeant Kinara.

"Sorry.sorry, baby. I just imagined how your face was so blushing. But really, I didn't mean to tease you. I really miss you, miss your cooking, miss you who are shy and I miss your beautiful and fragrant body, your sigh excites me. Everything that is in you, I miss, baby", Erlangga said increasingly uncontrollable.

"Mas..stop..", Kinara almost screamed, unable to bear the temptation of her husband.

Again, Erlangga laughed.

"I'm your husband, what's the harm in me talking to my own wife that honestly? do you want me to say that to Viona, hm?".

"No.no." Kinara spontaneously answered loudly when her husband mentioned the name of the woman who had been plaguing her thoughts and feelings lately.

"I want to get home soon, hold you and finish our pending beautiful moment".

The glint of the night's shadow flashed back in Kinara's memory. Yes, the first time during the marriage the two of them were that close and close, even the moment that Kinara had feared had almost happened.

Kinara shook her head, trying to shake off the shadow of the moment.

"Hurry home, I miss you too and.", Kinara did not continue his words.

"And what, hm?", Erlangga waited.

"And I will give you your full due" replied Kinara timidly. He put his face in the pillow. Erlangga was not in front of her but as if to Kinara her husband was there. So embarrassed.

"really? all right, I'll get my work done and go home soon. Wait for me, baby".

"Yes, be careful there. Take care of your meal and rest" Kinara said.

"I love you...".

"I. I love you, too, mas.", at last the sentence just slid from Kinara's mouth. Out of nowhere he did not hesitate to say it, but all this time he was still trying to convince his feelings for Erlangga.

'Did I really love him? or..', Kinara was busy with her own thoughts.

Although there was still a deep sense of shame, she smiled in light of her husband's temptation on the phone.

"Maybe it's time I opened my heart to my husband. There was no reason for me not to love him wholeheartedly" Kinara murmured confidently.

That evening he spent again with Ajeng who has now moved to the main room, still enjoying pop corn, orange juice and a drama film. But there was a different color in Kinara's heart. The color of love that makes it flowery.
