When That Sense Is Present

16. Till when?

Alif could not help himself. He got out of his car and approached Antyka who was talking to her lecturer.

" Antiya ..." Alif immediately grabbed Antyka's possessive arm .

" dr Alif ...?" Digta was choked with the behavior of his fellow lecturers. Although not too close. Digta who notes that the lecturer of economics is very familiar with Dr. Alif, a lecturer from the faculty of medicine. They often meet at meetings with lecturers across majors.

What Digta knows, Dr. Alif is a person who is authoritative and takes care of courtesy. But at this time, he actually saw Dr. Alif who was a little brash on his students.

" Digta sir, must be confused right ? Antyka this, my wife"

" Wife ...?"

" Yes, we got married a week ago. We have not yet held a reception. We are still waiting for prof Damar's health to recover "Alif explained to Digta.

" Whoa.., if so safe, Dr. Alif, Antyka. I'm sorry I called Antyka for the assignment she had to give to a classmate"

" It's okay. Is Antyka a PJ in Digta's pact course ?" Alif refused to let go of her hand from Antyka .

" True Dr. Alif. Then excuse me "Digta immediately excuse me from the presence of Dr. Alif and Antyka.

Without saying another word Alif took Antyka into his car. When closing the door Alif impressed rude and slammed. Antyka was frightened in the car, she could only see Alif who was so angry. Terrible, Inner Antyka shrieked.

Alif got into the car regardless of Antyka. Both of them stayed on the way home.

" Alicif is angry ?"

" You think for yourself "

" Sir, don't be so angry, Anty is afraid. Anty what's wrong ? Just wait for the lecturer who calls to give the task"

" You don't understand how I feel Anty, I don't like my wife being stared at by other men with a look of adoration. My fellow men know the meaning of your lecturer's gaze. Not to mention the students who were there, seeing you like food. Is it wrong to be upset ?"

" What does Trus Anty have to do ? Anty had no intention of that. Especially hurting Alif's feelings. Does Anty have to have that Aji halimunan? let no one see "That word glides plainly from Antyka's lips that make Alif wrinkle his forehead. While repeating the word "Aji halimunan"not long before Alif's laughter immediately broke out

" Not funny Anty "arrived that Alif's feelings had improved. The anger just evaporated.

" When gini, Anty is no longer afraid of Alif. That time, Mr. Alif looked really cool "

" CK.., we go home to the mother's house "there is a slightly upset tone culminating in an order that Antyka cannot refuse

" you know, it's going to the mother's house or mother's house if the weekend end"

" It's urgent, we have to get there quickly "

" Mommy's fine, isn't she, Mr Alif ?"

" It's about our business "

" I want to announce to the world that you belong to me. Let no one else take advantage of the excuse of their unwillingness "

" What does Mr. Alif mean ?"

"I want to have our wedding reception. Let everyone know about our relationship "Alif said a little emotional

" It's up to Mr. Alif "Antyka doesn't want to argue .

Alif grasps Antyka's fingers. This woman beside him could compensate for her jealous self with a submissive and sometimes innocent attitude. Alif knows, if in this case Antyka is wrong.

***

Antyka was in the kitchen with Amalia. Both are preparing dinner. Antyka was so amazed by the shrewdness of her mother-in-law.

" Mother, when can Anty make rich gini cuisine huh ?" Anty is just an assistant

" For a long time also pinter Anty, mother used to not be too able to cook. I also never demanded my mother to be able to. But Mother always wants to be able to nyenengin Dad, Mother continues to learn "

" Oh, that's mom "

" Look down, Alif looks a lot like Dad. He was not too fussy with food. He will eat whatever you serve. But ...." Mother hung her words while continuing to stir the squid stir fry in the pan.

" But what's Bun ?"

" Is Alif as jealous as Dad? it's a trait that often makes you annoyed" Mother laughed until her dimples were seen.

" He Bun, if again jealous angry anger is unclear. Anty so serem "Antyka imagined the incident earlier.

" Patient yah ..that's the sign that Alif loves you very much. You must be smart to dampen his anger "

" Yes Bun. Anty brought a dinner shirt, Bun, which was already the food" Antyka pointed to the food that had been cooked

" No need, let only Siti bring it to the dining table. You go to the room there, accompany Alif. Looks like your son needs to be entertained "

" Mother..."

" Bath, dress up, we'll have dinner together "

After the magrib prayer with them were already at the dining table.

" Aty, tomorrow mom wants to take you to the boutique to make dress fittings. What time did you finish college ? let mommy pick me up "

" Eleven Bun, tomorrow there's only one course "

" No need to pick up Bun, let Alif pick up Anty. Mommy share the location, it happens that Alif tomorrow is free "

" Yes, I'm with Lira tomorrow "

" Are you sure you're gonna be approved for Mike Bun ?"Haris' father half doubted her mother's wishes

Then my face turned cloudy. Antyka can only be a spectator while guessing nebak, what's wrong with Mike Lira's husband .

" Let Alif say the same to Mike Bun, take it easy. Mommy can release the same kangen kak Lira as much as tomorrow "

" Thank you, my mother has missed Lira "

After finishing dinner, Alif headed to Haris' father's office.

Haris' father frowned. Of course, his stubborn son suddenly resigned from the hospital he loved so much.

" I mean, Dad won. May I know the reason that made you back off ?"

Then Alif told me everything. Haris' father's reaction was just a happy laugh. He just feels grateful. With this incident at least Alif more open. That Treasure, the throne is indeed needed to live life in the real world .

" Fortunately you are the son of Haris pradipta, Alif. You can still protect the woman you love. You know ? how hard it is for Dad to keep your bundle. Ten years ago, I had to part with my mother. Even though I've met your mother again. I still have to fight to get it again. The pain and grudge I feel. Until fate brings father and mother together on our second chance. And the son of this stubborn father was born "

" I'm sorry Alif well, All this time Alif was selfish. Don't care about your business "

" You're as hard as Dad, I get it. From now on take your time to accompany Dad"

" Alif will receive the father's help to manage the hospital himself. And Alif will also give up Alif's work on campus as a lecturer. The rest of Alif will accompany Dad to handle the company Dad's company "

" It just so happens that tomorrow there is a meeting of shareholders of the healthy Partner hospital. I'd like to introduce you to their "serious tour of Haris's father

" But, well, they'll be ashamed "

" Dad wants to see their arrogance collapse, Lif. Just having a hospital like that was already arrogant. I don't like people like that" Haris patted his son's shoulder straight

" Alif goes with what Dad says "

" In the business world sometimes we have to be a little assertive, should not be weak Lif. Especially with people who are arrogant and arbitrary like them. Do what is appropriate without having to forget our nature, humans are servants of God. Because the treasure and throne can also make people forget themselves "Haris instills understanding in the son. "Dad wants to comfort your mother, she seems to be saddened by the father's words "

The two of them left the conversation and came out of Haris's father's office.

***

Inside the room, Antyka had just finished changing her clothes in pajamas.

" Would you sleep ?" greet Alif when she just entered her room

" Yes sleepy "

" Have you prayed ?"

" Already, wait for old Alif sir. Antyka prayed first "Say Antyka while laying her body on the mattress

" I talked a lot with my father" replied Alif while helping Antyka put up a thick blanket. His hand rubbed the tip of Antyka's head and kissed good night

Alif was lying beside Antyka, they were facing each other

" Mr. Alif, the mother looked sad when discussing Mr. Lira. What is Mike's brother ?"

" The story is long, Antyka. Mike is too possessive on Lira's brother, Lira can not be carelessly permission out of the house"

" Oh that's it"

" Hm"

" Mr. Alif is praying ?"

" Not yet "

" Solat will go sleepy first "

" When do I get a present ?"

" Ish prayers are obligatory, Mr. Alif "

Alif pinches Antyka's nose, because of anxiety

" Yes I prayed first, but you don't sleep first yeah, wait for me "

" Yes ..kalo gak khilaf " Antyka smiling jail

Alif fulfilled his obligation and followed Antyka who had already laid on their bed. It turns out Antyka was already asleep. Alif looked at his wife's peaceful face

in deep. His fingers crossed the face line of Antika. His lips swept back from his forehead until they stopped at the red lips of Antika. "Antyka, how long can I have you, whole?" alif's inner murmur that must still withstand the surge of his desire.

***

When the sun is shining brightly. Alif opened his eyes, glancing towards the wall clock. He was aghast, then remembered Antyka who had to leave for campus this morning .

Alif's body felt tired, all night he could not sleep. Alif could not close his eyes after the dawn prayer.

" Mother, where's Antyka ?"alif asked as he sat in the dining room

" Antyka's gone to college"

" Have left ? who's Bun with?"

" Together with Dad, all the way to the office. You it should be more responsibility and attention Lif, same wife. Kasian loh, from earlier he went back and forth waking you rich people fainted sleep "

" I'm sorry Bun "

" Thankfully there was Dad. Lif, please meet Mike. Tell him you want to go with your sister to butiq"

" Yes, I'm gonna finish Alif's breakfast at Mike's office "

" You call first, let the people not sneak"

" Yes "

Alif goes to the front porch, talks to Mike, to make an appointment. That thing he had to do. Even though he is his sister-in-law. Authoritarian Mike is always rigid and assertive. What else is it about Lira.

" Hello" Mike's heavy and cold voice from there

"Sister Mike, I'm meeting you"

" I'm in the office and ten o'clock there's a meeting, Come before ten. More than ten o'clock I can't see you "

" Yes I came before ten "Alif shut the phone. Feel tightness in the chest. It was very difficult to meet his own brother. But whatever the power, he can't do anything. Lira herself chose this path.
