5 Years of Marriage Without Love
I'm Starting to Love You

Dina tried a video call, the time difference between Indonesia and Turkey is 4 hours. In Indonesia at 9 pm the meaning is in Turkey at 5 pm. Usually, Dina knew the right time to contact Bilah because she was at her grandfather's house to rest after taking care of the company files.

Dina \= ["Assalamu'alaikum Blade."]

Blade \=["Wa'alaikumsalam."]

Dina \= ["Loe finished crying Blade?"]

Blade \= ["No, it's my eyes sorely slicing an onion."]

Dina \=["Do not lie to me. I've known you a dozen years. Loe bar ever nasehatin I right, if you have a problem with Gus. Solve with a cool head do not get emotional and do not run away from problems. Hmmm you don't be mad at me well. Someone wants to talk to you."]

Dina gave her Handphone to Bagas.

Bagas \= ["Assalamu'alaikum, Baby bar,"]

Blades were shocked and instantly turned off his phone.

"O Allah Din, the Blade turns off the phone. That's how angry he is with me. Allahu...Allahu..I love him very much," said Bagas lirih.

Shortly after that there was an incoming message on Dina's phone.

Bar \= ["Din, kok Mas Bagas is at home loe? why did you give her? I don't want to talk to him about Din."]

Dina \= ["Bil, you sure you don't want to hear her explanation?"]

Blade \= ["Bale Din, I hate lying."]

Dina \= ["Don't use emotions."]

The last sentence Dina sent was only a check mark 1.

"I'm sorry Blade is so angry like he turned off his phone. This is the last message I sent only one, " said Dina.

Sitting limp, he held his face with his palms, he loved Bar so much.

'Allah Gus Bagas wept, I have seen a Gus cry for the love of a widow. It means he's very bucin with Bilah. Bil, you will be satisfied that you are completely separated Bagas, Dina's inner.

"Thank you Din, I'll go home first" said Bagas.

"Where's Gus going? to Mba Aisyah's house?" ask Dina.

"Gak Din, I went straight to Semarang" said Bagas.

"Loh Gus' will just arrive in Jakarta, then immediately leave again to Semarang. Fatigued Gus, the danger of driving in a tired state," suggested Dina.

"My body is not tired, but my heart is tired, Assalamu'alaikum," Bagas left Dina's residence.

Blades back and forth in the room, his heart unsettled.

"Do I have to listen to his explanation? do I have to call her?" muttered Blade.

"Why I saw his face, why I became a kangen," said Bilah.

Finally Barah called Bagas.

Blade \= ["Assalamu'alaikum."]

Bagas \=["Waalaikumsalam, O Allah Blade. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you."]

Blade \=["Your voice is out crying, you're crying because I don't want to talk to you?"]

Bagas \= ["How I don't cry, my heart feels like it stopped reading your email, I think it has no hope anymore when you directly turn off your phone,"]

Blade \=["I don't like being lied to, you've lied to me. Why hasn't Haya gotten out of the pesantren?"]

Bagas \= ["The decision to bring out the teacher was Abi, not me. Abi doesn't feel good talking to Kiai Aaron. If we're married then Abi can reason that Ning Haya wants to ruin our household."]

Blade \=["It's like you're calling Ning Haya's name."]

Bagas \= ["It is difficult to talk to a jealous woman."]

Blade \=["Si.who is jealous, ah well already. I'm lazy to argue with you Mas, Assalamu'alaikum."]

The bar immediately decided on the phone.

Not long after he disconnects the phone, Bagas calls using a video call.

"That's why he called me anyway, another rich gini, another video call," muttered Bilah.

Although Bilah's annoyance still exists, she still receives Bagas' video call. When he received the video call, Blah did not speak a single word.

Bagas \=["Honey..." ]

Blade \= ["Kok you call me dear?"]

Bagas \=["Indeed, can't call a future wife dearly?"]

Bagas \=["You're still mad at me?"]

Blade \= ["It looks?"]

Bagas \=["Still angry, that's your face still pouting I see. I'm sorry well, if Abi doesn't take Ning Haya out, I'll be out of the boarding school."]

Blade \=["Well, you're Abi's only successor."]

Bagas \= ["Because I don't want to see you angry with me."]

\= bar ["Mas, I want to talk seriously with you."]

Bagas \= ["About what?"]

Bar \=["Sorry Mas, if we're married can I have more time in Jakarta?"]

Bagas \=["Indeed you don't like living in a pesantren?"]

Blade \=["No Mas, it's just that my business went to Turkey to reverse the name of the company that was once seized by my ex-husband. Automatically on my shoulders there is a welfare of life for my employees."]

Bagas \=["Well, we will talk when you have returned to Indonesia well because it is not good to talk on the phone."]

Blade \=["Well it's good. My.."]

Bagas \=["Yes."]

Blade \=["Can you if you meet Ning Haya stay away?"]

Bagas \=["Indeed why? give me a reason." ]

Blade \=["Because.a. I think I'm starting to love you."]

Bagas who heard Barah's statement, his face was overjoyed, his heart started pounding.

Bagas \=["Can I say it again?"]

Blade \=["No more re-broadcast Mas."]

Bagas's face was clear, making the Blade unable to resist.

Blade \=["I'm starting to love you Mas, I was jealous when Ning Haya approached you."]

Bagas \= ["Thank you for accepting my love, thank you for growing the love in your heart for me. I'm sorry I made you jealous. I'll keep my heart just for you."]

Blade \=["Thank you, I've been preaching. Loving a widow that I feel love comes very sincerely that you give. I love you Mas. Wait for me in Indonesia well, I'll be home when my affairs in Turkey are over."]

Bagas \= ["Insha Allah, I love you too. I will wait for you, take care of your health. I continued my journey back to Semarang. Assalamu'alaikum."]

Blade \= ["Yes Mas, be careful on the road. It's a matter of."]

"I have confessed my love to Gus Bagas, I hope my decision this time is not wrong. May he be my husband until death do us part." muttered Bilah.

***

"It feels like Blah is not angry with me anymore. I don't know why I love him so much, I've never felt this kind of love before" Bagas murmured while driving his car.

Bagas intended to talk about Ning Haya to his Abi back, he did not want Bilah to be misunderstood back to him. He will keep Blah's love from disappointing him.

Bagas drove his car at an average speed. He was also gathering evidence about the accident, so that when Barah came home there was already evidence that he would show to Bilah.

"I promise I will make you always happy Bilah, I will erase your bitter memories with my love" muttered Bagas.
