Alila pulled her face to the side and twisted her gaze back, so that her face could be slightly face to face with Dimas's face. The man was still at home hugging him from behind, even more tightly fusing his front body with the back of Alila's body.
"Dim..."
"What's wrong?"
Dimas lowered his face and kissed Alila's cheek just like that. Alila who had not expected the man's treatment immediately turned her face back and looked back towards the front.
His face that met red immediately even more adorable to Dimas, so he again gave a kiss on the cheek of Alila the other.
"You're so adorable with a face like that, Al. I love him so much and always miss him..."
Dimas continued to tighten his embrace at Alila's waist, while his head continued to lean on his future wife's shoulder, so that occasionally their cheeks touched each other.
"What did you want to say?"
Dimas recalled the time Alila called him but it had not continued because of Dimas's actions that made Alila lose concentration.
"No, that's. Forget it, Dim."
"Say, Al."
"Will I say, but let go of your embrace first. Let's just sit down."
Although reluctant, Dimas finally obeyed Alila's request. But before really releasing his embrace, again he acted by whispering something in the ear of his future wife.
"I love you, Alila.."
Dimas left a kiss on Alila's shoulder, after which he slowly pulled the woman's hand to sit together beside her.
Still with an embarrassed look on her face, Alila sat beside Dimas while receiving a bottle of drink from the man's hand then together drank it little by little.
Their gaze was directed to the high seas far ahead of them, enjoying the natural beauty of the creation of the Divine.
"Dim..."
"Yes?"
"When are we gonna tell the others about our wedding plans?"
"Faster is better, Al."
"Do we need to schedule another five meetings to say it?"
"As far as you go, Al."
Alila put down the drink. His clear eyes had now turned to look at the man who from the beginning they were sitting before did not even turn his eyes from the front.
"I don't want an answer, because it's an ambiguous answer that can lead to misunderstanding again. It is better to argue at the beginning but to share our opinions, rather than answer whatever but still hold our dissatisfaction in our hearts."
Dimas was silent at Alila's behavior.
"alright. Let's meet them next week, Al."
Alila smiled satisfied with the answer from Dimas.
"Yes, Dim. We also have to hand over the uniform fabric for our wedding to them."
"Sandy's still on duty out of town. Can he come to us at our wedding?" Alila asked doubtfully.
"Then from that, we should tell them immediately. Hopefully he can make time to get home and come to our wedding."
"Yes, Dim. Two days ago Nayla sent me a message and she told me that Sandy promised to always try to come home once every two weeks or once a month on weekends. He hasn't been able to go home this week. Maybe next week he'll be home for the first time."
Dimas suddenly looked back at Alila. There was a fear that appeared in his mind at this moment. Even his chest was pounding hard when he thought about it. His view was sharp but implied fear.
Alila who noticed Dimas' change in attitude immediately grabbed the man's hand and grasped it with two hands.
(What's wrong with you, Dim?)
Dimas did not take a word out of his mouth. Only his fast-moving hand released Alila's grasp and he clenched tightly to his future wife's body. Tight, very tight.
(I'm scared, Al.)
Alila was confused. His mind guessed among his worries at Dimas.
"What's up, Dim?"
Quiescent. No response from Dimas. Only his embrace felt increasingly tight.
"Dim..."
The gaze of the beach breeze that was cool and very soothing even, not even able to calm his heart that continues to be struck by fear.
Alila could no longer wait. He was as afraid as Dimas.
"Dim.., don't just shut up. I don't like that. I'd rather you open up and say everything you feel, than I should watch you shut up and shut me up like this..."
As vigorously as Alila tried to stretch Dimas' embrace. While Dimas who was affected by Alila's speech unconsciously also began to weaken the energy he used to hug Alila so that the embrace was finally stretched.
Alila heaved a sigh of relief after Dimas reacted with the words he said. He held both hands of Dimas in his lap. His eyes locked onto Dimas's gaze to keep him in a fight.
"Say, what's bothering you?"
"I'm thinking about farewell, Al. I'm afraid I'll be separated from you again..."
Alila was surprised to hear Dimas's reply. I don't know what makes her future husband think like that.
"I..."
"Yes?"
"If one day I have to work away from you, will you allow it, Al? Or should I take you with me wherever I go?"
A question that was beyond Alila's expectations. Even if it had never crossed his mind. And now he had absolutely no idea what to answer.
"Dim..."
"So when you told me about Sandy and Nayla, it suddenly came to my mind, if we were in a situation like theirs and I was in Sandy's position, would I be able to stay away from you, Al.i..."
(Is that how much you're afraid of losing me, Dim?)
"I was separated from you for three months, I don't think I want to repeat it anymore, Al. At the time, our relationship was not this close. What if it happens again when we get married...?"
Alila could feel Dimas's heart-wrenching unease. If the same question was aimed at her, she would definitely feel the same fear that the man was feeling right now.
"Dim, we just live everything that is in front of us now. Don't worry about anything that hasn't happened. If at some point we will finally experience it, I believe at that time we can certainly respond wisely and will take the best decision for both of us."
Dimas tried to understand one sentence after another that Alila said. He tried to shake off his fear. Unwarranted fear, fear of something that is not necessarily going to happen in the future.
"Yes, Al. You're correct. I'm sorry I thought too much of it."
No more worry and fear on Dimas's face. He could already smile thinly for Alila's sake. His heart was completely calm now.
"Thank you."
One warm kiss was felt by Alila on her forehead.
"Dim, may I ask you one thing?"
"Yes?"
"I used to keep fear away from you, fear of losing you. Why are you acting like that to me now?"
"Because right now, my feelings are the same as yours. I love you so deeply, as deeply as the love you've felt for me, Al."
One smile was engraved on Alila's face, perfecting the beauty of her face that radiated the sincerity of love in her heart to someone who always made her days as beautiful as the rainbow that adorned the sky above the horizon.
