With You I Find Love

Episode thirty seven

"Atayad don't" said Ara Lirih as her hands held down Atayad's chest which was unknown since when they were in this position. Ara is increasingly confused by a sense that cannot be understood by itself.

"Not Atayad, but dear" said Atayad with an irregular breath. This kind of position makes them look more intimate. The strings of romance began to thrill the feelings of the two.

Tok Tok tok knock on the door managed to retract the consciousness of the two. Atayad immediately took his body step to open the door. Ara half ran into the bathroom.

There was shame in his heart. This is because it happened a second time with Atayad. Ara stood in front of the washbasin mirror with both palms covering her face.

Finished cleaning up, Ara felt reluctant to get out of the bathroom and meet Atayad again. But I want to see when he stays there. Until tomorrow is impossible.

Although the embarrassment still rained on her, Ara ventured out of the bathroom. "eee, who is she?" ara said as she turned her face away without looking at Atayad.

Atayad approached Ara and then flanked Ara's face with both palms. "Try if you talk to look at the person" said Atayad while looking at Ara with a shahdu look.

Ara looks really nervous. He tried to dare to look at Atayad. "Why should it be like this?" ask Ara

The silence paused the two long enough, until Atayad found the answer. "Because we are married" he answered simply but gave a deep meaning.

***

They were eating a dinner served by the innkeeper. During the dinner, the two still did not comment on their attitude earlier.

Atayad seemed busy with his food, but behind that his mind was no less busy.

Same with Ara.

Ara finished her meal first. After putting the spoon and garfu on the plate and sipping a glass of water, Ara noticed Atayad who looked very much enjoying his dinner.

Realizing that he was being noticed by Atayad, he glanced at Ara with the tail of his eyes. "Why look at me like that?" he said while getting busy with his food.

"I, I'm just confused by your attitude this late. Did something happen to you?"

Atayad squinted his eyes when he heard Ara's question. Instantly he stopped his eating activities and then put the spoon he was holding. "Why indeed? Don't you like it?"

"That's not what I mean, it's just that I don't understand if you suddenly change like that"

Atayad glanced at Ara before resuming his sentence. "Do you want this wedding?" atayad continued as he recalled the message he read last night.

Ara looked confused to give an answer. At first he did not want it, but now at least his heart began to be swayed by Atayad's attitude and treatment of him.

"You're not going to answer?" atayad asked while Ara still chose silence and never gave an answer to his question. "I don't know if you want it or not. But after I thought so many times, shouldn't we just be normal?" atayad continued while looking at Ara.

Ara still did not give any response. Atayad continued his sentence. " I don't want to torture you with this marriage. I did have a story in the past, but after I thought I shouldn't have to take it out on you"

Ara who had been silent since then and bowed her gaze now tried to look at Atayad who was also currently staring at him.

"Ara.." call Atayad and Ara still looks at him. "We try to make peace with each other. If later you want to leave then go you do not deserve to be with people like me" Atayad's words either contain what substances, but the words managed to touch Ara's heart.

Ara was still trying to digest every word Atayad said. But until the last word that Atayad said he was still unable to digest it.

"I can't understand every word you say. But one point I'm taking, maybe you're right, it would be nice if we did look peaceful. Because I don't think I ever made trouble with you. And about the past, I don't want to communicate anything because I don't know how you were before."

One step closer if they say. They talk like normal people. Both Atayad and Ara that night they began to behave accordingly. No more arrogant words came out of Atayad's mouth.

Atayad tells the story of his life, although not all of it. Likewise with Ara, Ara tells how her life journey but she does not tell her life story with Rey. I don't know if Ara's reluctant to go back to calling that name.

Atayad frowned as he did not hear a single name of the man Ara was calling. And that made Atayad think that Ara did not want to get too close to him.

"It's night, sleep in the bed! I'll sleep on the couch" Atayad said as he ended the conversation.

"You sure you're gonna sleep on the couch?" ara said as she looked at Atayad unsure.

"I can sleep anywhere when I'm really sleepy" Atayad replied with a faint smile.

Ara nodded then she stepped towards the bed. Before he pulled the blanket to cover his body, his eyes briefly stared at Atayad who was turning himself in there.

Breathing that looks calm makes Atayad sure if Ara is really asleep. He then allowed his body position to sit straight. His eyes stared at the bed that Ara was there.

"Why didn't he mention the man he sent the message to last night. Is that guy really important in his life?"
