When That Sense Is Present

57. Pinang

Antyka's tears melted, Alif brought her home. Agra was taken by police officers.

"You're hot, Anty"

"I'm tired.." after saying that, Antyka's eyes closed. Alif panicked, he asked the driver to speed up his vehicle.

"Anty..." Alif patted Antyka's cheek while on their way to the hospital. Antyka's condition looks weak. Antyka only opened her eyes for a moment and then closed her eyes again. Alif faithfully waited by Antyka's side.

Antyka was still lying with an infusion hose in her hand. Beside him was Alif who was agitated. The man seemed impatient to see Antyka sober. Several times he refused calls that rang in turn on his cell phone from Mike and Luthfi.

Alif felt betrayed by his two brothers-in-law. Alif doesn't care about Agra's problem that he cares about is Antyka's safety. Alif shut down his communication access from both.

At the other end, Mike and Luthfi felt guilty. The mission to save Antyka almost failed. There was an earthquake that made things chaotic. Out of control Mike's men are ready to keep watch.

"Don't worry, Alif will definitely forgive us. We're just a little late finding Antyka's location because of the earthquake. But my men proved to be professional and quick. They can bring Alif in time to help Antyka. It's resolved well. Naturally Alif is still angry at us, because he's still in shock"

"This is the address of the hospital where Antyka was treated, bring Ajeng's mother to meet Alif and Antyka. He will not be like because there is a Ajeng mom" said Mike sure

"I didn't know what to say when I met Alif, Mike" Luthfi looked down.

"We caught Agra wet.., we have evidence, Agra's motive and all Agra's crimes are revealed, Don't forget it. And Antyka survived" Mike insisted not too concerned with Luthfi and Alif's feelings.

"You're right, Mike but the way we hurt feelings, Alif"

"I want this matter to be resolved, the sooner Agra gets caught the better. You think in this case I didn't sacrifice? The lira scolded me completely, until now she didn't want me to come near. I was so tormented" Mike grumbled, but in response to a smile by Luthfi, this cold and cruel man was apparently able to submit to a woman named Lira, from the look on her face, Luthfi could tell. Mike is really tormented.

"Please Mike, you can" said Luthfi casually

"You're mocking me?" seeing Luthfi's casual smile, Mike felt offended.

"No, I'm concerned. I'll ask Karin to persuade Lira. It seems like they are now good friends"

"Lira is very stubborn, if she is angry. My only hope is mom. I'll have you persuade Lira"

"Good Luck Mike.., fighting" Luthfi will leave Mike.

"Wait...! isn't Karin angry, you're endangering your own sister?"

"No, Karin understands why we're doing it"

"Why can't Lira understand?"

"Ha ha ha.." Luthfi laughter exploded at the look of Mike's stupid face. "You're not good at explaining, Mike. You have a lot to learn from me"

"Tell me what to do with Lira?"

"First you should never use cunning means. Second, you must sincerely apologize"

"I've been apologizing over and over again, even hugging her leg"

"I'm not sure, you said with regret. You must have given an argument that your actions were correct.yeah, right?"

"How do you know?"

"Sincere Mike, admit your mistake. He will forgive you easily. Remember women are always right. You have to give in to win" Luthfi again noticed Mike's fierce but very fragile face in front of the woman named Lira. Luthfi chuckled at Mike's fierce face, groaning and hugging the tiny lira's legs.

"I'm home, more business. Remember that if you make it, you have to give me a present" Luthfi left Mike before he got sniffed at Mike's naughtiness, it could be a big deal later.

***

That same afternoon, Luthfi brought Ajeng's mother to meet Antyka at the hospital. When he saw the arrival of Luthfi, Alif was seen holding back his emotions. He muffled it because there was mama Ajeng there

"Lif, how's Antyka doing?"

"Anty is sleeping ma, insha Allah she is fine. Anty's just in shock"

"Thank God, thank you, Lif" mom sat on the edge of the bed.

"Yes, ma"

Mama could only stare at Antyka who was still asleep. His face was a little pale. He rubbed Antyka's head lovingly.

"Wake up son, this is mama" said mama Ajeng while kissing her daughter. But Antyka did not budge. He was still asleep due to the influence of drugs.

"Ma, Luthfi wants to talk to Alif outside for a minute" Pamit Luthfi said. Alif's opportunity to ask for an explanation from Luthfi.gainya a brother, endanger the safety of his own sister. In Alif's head was lined up many words that he would say. Alif followed Luthfi out of Antyka's ward.

"I don't accept Lutfi's brother endangering Anty" Alif said sharply. When they were far from Antyka's room in a corridor, facing a pretty beautiful garden. In a quiet place, rarely people pass by and away from the patient care room.

"She's my sister, and all the problems are now over, despite having to put Antyka in danger. Anty survived and if you want to get angry, what right do you have against Antyka? he's my responsibility. If you want to be angry please. Looks like I'll have to revoke the blessing I almost gave" Luthfi threatened Alif.

"It's not fair, brother. Luthfi didn't know I was so worried about Antyka's safety. I was so heartbroken to see with my own eyes, the woman I loved was almost forced by another man. Try if that happens to Karin"

"I killed the man who touched him" Luthfi was provoked by his emotions.

"Sama, I also want to kill people who endanger Antyka"

"I also want to kill the man who lied to my sister and slandered her first"

Alif looked down, hearing Luthfi's words. He was also guilty. He was furious not wanting to forgive the person who harmed Antyka but that was also unfair. He's got an apology from everyone. He could not be selfish thinking about his own feelings at this moment.

"How's Lif, aren't we a series? will you forgive us or will my blessing never come down? Antyka's still my responsibility" Luthfi began to lower her voice. "I'm sorry, Lif. I was wrong" Luthfi finally gave up apologizing to Alif.

With Canggung Alif received Luthfi's hand. They shake hands to mark disputes. The anger that was on the chest is now breaking. Smiles on both faces.

"You'd better get Antyka fast, Lif. Before I change my mind again" Luthfi tried to tempt Alif to melt the atmosphere.

"As soon as Anty recovers Dad and mom will come ask Antyka for me"

"No need to party, Lif. It's legitimate enough. You didn't throw away your old wedding photos, did you?"

"Of course not. How's Antyka's villa at the top?" Alif remembered the honeymoon. First place he and Antyka together.

"Still the same, we take good care of him. You want to have a honeymoon there again?"

"No.., I want to take Antyka to Switzerland"

"Have.., don't fantasize too much, sin Lif. Let's go in. Mama must have cape inside

"Lif, mama tipped Antyka yes, please take care of him" said mama Ajeng before leaving with Luthfi.

"Yes, ma. Mama hearted, once Anty healthy I will drive her home" Alif drove her to the door.he went back in the room when Antyka called him.

Alif approached to check on Antyka's state of consciousness.

" Mr. Alif..."

" Yes, Anty"

"I'm where? " Atyka is like a confused person. He watches around her. Everything feels foreign.

"At Anty's hospital"

"Hospital? I'm going home"

"Wait for you to recover, yeah"

"Saya?"

"I'm sorry, I always bother you" Antyka said. Alif just nodded. Looked at Antyka

"I don't feel that way. Get well soon.., Luthfi has given me permission. Agra's business is also in order" Alif sat by Antyka's bedside. "Why shut up, aren't you happy? We can be together again"

Of course Antyka is happy, hearing Luthfi has given a signal to be together again. Looks all red on Antyka's face. It felt so floating, embarrassed and happy

Seeing Antyka's embarrassed reaction like that, made Alif swallow his saliva. The feeling that had been frozen for a long time was now warm again. It felt like he wanted to hug Antyka, expressing his happy feelings as well. A small peck of red cheek belonging to Antyka. Ahhh Alif panicked himself afraid of not being able to control himself

"I came out for a while" Alif needed to neutralize his thoughts.Tiba arrived a push from his heart stirred, seeing the embarrassed smile Antyka made his mind wander to where.

Alif walked without direction, he just followed his feet. Pull and breathe out. He accidentally runs into Ibra who is pushing a woman with a distended stomach in a wheelchair. Still terbesit jealousy, considering Ibra used to be so close to Caya and Antyka. Actually want to avoid. But what power, Ibra has caught him.

"How are you?" Alif stopped his steps, for a moment he greeted Ibra and his wife

"Well, how's Caya doing? haven't I met you in a long time?" Ibra's eyes were so sparkling when she asked about Caya

"Okay, he's getting smarter. You guys want to check the contents ?"

"Yes"

" May your baby and wife be healthy. Congratulations yes..., then excuse me" said Alif to Ibra.he already does not want to deal with Ibra Of course, discomfort is always tucked in the heart of Alif Every deal with Ibra.

"Wait ..., Is Antyka okay?. I heard from ..."

"Yes, he's good. Just need to rest" Alif felt dislike for Ibra's attention on Antyka. He didn't think about his wife's feelings? inner Alif, furious. Alif glanced at the woman in the wheelchair, her face turning mellow. Alif immediately left the two who were still unmoved.

Love, can be so cruel. Man becomes blind and lost his mind. It happened to him, Ibra also Agra. Alif took his steps and turned to look at Ibra and his wife. It looks like Ibra is bending over rubbing innocent face. "May you realize, what you already have, Ibra.do not be wasted"

***

" Mommy..." Caya splashed into Antyka's arms. The little girl clenched tightly, plunging her head into the recess of Momy's neck. He felt a warmth he had not had for a few days.

"Caya.., momy kangen" Antyka rubbed Caya's elongated hair. Cuddled petite body with the aroma of cash that makes it always peaceful. "I love you Caya"

"Love you too momy" Caya replied as she tightened their embrace.

"You make Daddy jealous" Alif pura sulks. Caya swiftly unraveled her embrace from Antyka and rushed towards Alif.

"I love you Daddy" Caya hugged Alif. The little girl knew what she had to do when she saw Alif sulking. She acted like an adult who calmed Alif down with a hug. Realizing the absurdity, the three of them then laughed.

From inside the living room, there was Mother and Father Haris who noticed the interaction of the three people in the living room, their lips covered in a relieved and happy smile. For parents, the happiness of their children's families is the most desirable thing.

"Mother is very happy to see you" said the mother while sitting on the living room sofa, they gathered. Alif and Antyka just realized the existence of father and mother in the room. Both look clumsy.

"Mother, Father" Antyka crucified on the two.

"If you agree, in this week I'll be at your house, Anty. I wanted to ask you to come back with Alif. May Bu Ajeng and your brother Luthfi not mind" Haris' father looked at Alif and Antyka. Both seem nervous. "How's Anty, Alif?"

"Anty hasn't talked about this with Luthfi's brother, Dad"

"But Lutfi brother has given permission, yesterday time in the hospital" Sambar Alif did not want to waste any more time.

"Are you sure, Lif?"

"Yakin Yah, Luthfi brother who asked Alif to immediately..." Alif's voice stopped, he glanced at the lowered Antyka. Maybe the woman was embarrassed. Heard the conversation about himself.

Mother understood the situation, she stood up to invite Antyka into the house to prepare lunch together. Leaving Alif and Haris' father to talk about their future.

"Mother cook a lot?" antyka asked as she prepared lunch.

"Mike is coming with Lira soon. They want to meet you" explained the mother while arranging the dishes at the dining table. "You don't be surprised, then"

"What's the surprise, Bun?"

"Mike and Lira. Lira is making calculations with Mike, it's just the strange desire of a young pregnant person" mother instead smiled amusedly. Antyka who does not know about them, just agree to Mother's request.

"Anty, would you like to be your daughter-in-law again? Mother wants Caya to get complete affection. Kasian Caya, you are also Alif. Seeing you guys with your mother was so relieved, Anty"

" Anty..." The voice of Lira saves Antyka from the celebration of the mother. Lira hugged him and apologized.

"Sister Lira.." Antyka's body almost staggered.

"I'm sorry about my attitude back then, you must have been offended, it was all because of Mike. He didn't tell me the truth, from the start" Lira still continued. "Mike apologizes to Anty!" lira said while looking annoyed. Mike approached Antyka, the cold-built man following Lira's instructions without being able to refute.

"Anty, I'm sorry" Mike told Antyka, but Mike's gaze was on Lira instead of Antyka. Lira seems annoyed by Mike's attitude that does not really apologize.

"Yes, brother" but Antyka answered

"No Mike, you have to be sincere don't be forced to" Lira still continues to force Mike.

"Lira.., Mike apologized to Anty. You don't go so far as to Mike" protested the mother who couldn't bear to see Mike who was confused and obeyed Lira's wishes. Mother feels Lira has gone too far.

"But Bun..."

"Where do you know Mike's insincere?" mama said again, calming Lira who wanted to force Mike to repeat his apology to Antyka. Lira was silent after mother prevented it. But his face still looks upset.

"Sit Mike, we eat" Mother mediates tension. Mike just nodded he was still staring at Lira who was still annoyed at him.

Mike shifts the chair to the Lira, sits down. "Sit down baby, don't be angry. Not good for our baby" Mike said softly. His gaze was so adoring to Lira. When Mike's hand will stroke Lira's stomach that already looks a little poking, Lira brushed Mike's hand from her stomach.

Antyka was feeling uneasy in her room. He is accompanied by Livia and Caya.

"Anty nervous?" asked Livia with an innocent face.The girl stood up while peeking towards the crowded living room.

"Has the show started?" Ask Antyka curiously.

"It's not yet, Anty"

Antyka tried to calm herself from her nervousness. Although this is not the first for Antyka. But still he was still nervous even more nervous and thrilling now. He had not felt love before, and he was very calm.

The door of his room was knocked, Zeind in a batik shirt poking his head behind the door.

"Anty let's get out! it's all come. The show wants to start"

"I'm nervous Zeind" Antyka clasped Zeind's hand

"So much, proposed by the same person?" Zeind tries to tease Antyka.

Antyka blushed in shame. True, although this is the second but it feels more thrilling. His feelings are mixed.

When he was in front, Antyka stole a vision looking for Alif. When meeting, the man looks more charming with his batik clothes.

"Pak Alif" Antyka's shrivel choked. Suddenly his throat was dry. Alif smiled while holding Caya who immediately scattered in his arms as soon as he came.

Haris' father represents Alif expressing good intentions to ask Antyka to return to be Alif's wife.

"I am Haris Pradipta, representing my son. Want to convey good intentions to re-connect the cord that was once severed because of something. Alif our son, who made many mistakes, had little intention of asking Antyka to return to be his wife. With all humility, we hope that Antyka's extended family can accept our goodwill"

"Thank you Mr. Pradipta, I am Andrean Luthfi Alhabsy as the brother of Antyka, happy, what was once disconnected can be re-connected. In the course of human life must have experienced tests. Similarly, Antyka and Alif, may the test that once forged them, strengthen and mature both in living life. For that our extended family Antyka received goodwill from the Pradipta family, we received the Pinangan for Antyka"

"Thomasin ...."

Mother Amalia pinned the ring on Antyka. Again they deliberated to determine their wedding day which will be titled one Sunday in a simple way
