A Million Love For Alana
Book With Nephew

Binka and Zhafran were still unable to close their eyes. They miss Nina, their only child. This is because Binka is no longer able to get pregnant.

“You haven't slept, Honey?” ask Zhafran.

“Iya, I miss Nina, Mas,” she replied.

“Sabar, yes? We persuade Nina again later,” said Zhafran to calm Binka.

“If I hadn't gone in to ruin your and Alana's relationship, it would have been fine, Mas. Ii'm sorry. I shouldn't be with you. Now, I'm like this, I'm no longer the perfect woman mas, I can't give you offspring, can't give you the boy you dreamt of so much, I'm sorry,” Binka said.

“Don't do that, I don't care about how you are right now, Binka. I don't give a shit. For me you are still perfect,” said Zhafran with a hug Binka.

“If Alana comes home, will you marry her again?” ask Binka.

“No, that's Ardha's authority. Ardha loved Alana very much, before I got close to Alana, and married her. I do not want to seize what Ardha should have,” Zhafran replied.

“Do you love Alana, Mas?”

“If I could love her, maybe I would no longer come back to you,” Zhafran replied. “Don't talk about something like this. There is still a lot to talk about besides this,” Zhafran said.

Zhafran knew his wife's feelings, because everyone no longer considered her anymore. Even Nina who is her biological child, she also does not want to be with her mother anymore.

“Binka's love, no one wants to take her anymore, even Nina doesn't want to be with her anymore.  All this is my fault, right if I do not repeat the old story with Binka, surely everything is still fine, it will not be like this,” muttered Zhafran.

Arkan from earlier looked around every corner of Ardha house that looks so unique and classic. Ardha said it was all his plan. He made his own house in his own architectural style. Arkan is a little impressed with Ardha's luxurious but simple house.

“Not yet his wife photo Alana already posted here?” arkan said by looking at photos of Alana, Askara, and Ardha in the large frame that Ardha installed in the middle room.

“That important already permission same Alana, and Alana no problem?” answer Ardha.

Thalia also looked around the house of Ardha, she saw a small shelf in the corner of her room. There are some little toys on the shelf.

“Since when were you the start toy, Ar? Back to toddler again?” ask Thalia.

“Ih mami-anything if ask? It's Askara's, I often bring it here if Ardha pas no work, and Alana is helping her budhenya in the store,” replied Ardha.

“Indeed you can take care of a child? Would you like some milk?”

“Kan brought Alana from home,” replied Ardha.

“No Alana nginep here, right?” ask Arkan.

“Even if the weekend nginep here, even roommate sleep,” he replied origin, let the papa fire beard.

“Ngapain sleep room! Don't be like your brother!” Arkan was immediately furious to hear Ardha's answer, whereas where it might sleep room, Alana people with her mother if staying at Ardha's house. That was because Askara was still at home Ardha.

“So, dear papi .. anyways Alana if here is also the same mother really? That's also if Askara wants to be here, do not want to go home,” explained Ardha.

“You sure you never sleep with Alana?” ask Arkan.

“Sleep with ya ever pi? Only sleep together, no harm, which makes it sticky and then friendly!” cetus Ardha's.

“You're the answer makes papi almost hanging!” hatch Arkan. “It is enough Zhafran alone like that, papi please be with you, even though you have been given responsibility by Om Dev, you must keep the trust of Om Dev, do not mess with you, papi knows Om Dev will not mess with his words,” said Arkan.

“Iya, pi .. after all it is rare for Alana to sleep here, even if we finish the road and go home last night, so Alana rest here,” explained Ardha.

Ardha invited her mom and dad to sit in the living room chatting, it has been a long time since she had a close conversation like now with her mommy papi.

“If you marry Alana, you will stay here or return to Jakarta?” ask Arkan.

“Here is it, Pi? Does Ardha have a home? Alana has also started holding budhe's gift shop branch? It was actually a branch that belonged to the mother, and Alana that the mother told her to manage. It was the shop left by his late father Alana who had long closed, and now operates again,” explained Ardha.

“You want to stay here or in Jakarta, papi only messages, if you are married, appreciate your wife, appreciate her feelings, and do not hurt or betray her,” said Arkan.

“Padahan mami wants you to stay in Jakarta, but yes already if this is your decision,” said Thalia.

“Iya, Mi. This is Ardha talking with Alana for a long time, and Papa Dev, and Mama Nadia let us stay here if we were married. In fact I am the same Alana plans to want a reception here,” said Ardha. “But papa Dev does not agree, it is okay to hold a reception here, but after the reception at the home of Papa Dev,” explained Ardha.

“Ya papi also do not want if you just rame-rame here, yes it must be at Devan's house, yes time want here? Later when you are from your in-laws' house, then you want to make the party as lively as possible here please,” said Arkan.

Arkan did not expect his youngest child would be this semandiri. He created his own employment, with makeshift capital from money for the proceeds of his opaque workshop. Ardha is now in control of the workshop, assisted by Fajar, Tita's husband, and his son who is the same age as Ardha.

“Now that I realized, Ardha turned out to prove his point that he could start his business from the bottom, now he became a successful person, and I am ashamed, because I always compared him to Zhafran, and it turns out Zhafran hurt a lot of people, and embarrassed me,” muttered Arkan.

Devan immediately asks Askara from Arkan's sling. Arkan has been holding Askara, and still does not want to alternate with Devan. Devan was very confused with his grandson. He was impatient to bring Alana home to Jakarta, but Devan still hesitated Alana would come home with him or not. It's all because Alan said with himself, he's more comfortable living in Jogja. Moreover, Ardha already has a house to live with Alana here.

“You just take my grandson!” hatch Arkan.

“Askara is also my grandson, besides you will have carried from morning, from the morning you are here, the same Askaran continues, I just came two hours ago, change dong, change dong, I also miss Askara,” Devan protest.

“You'll be here often, Dev!”

“Yes, but I'm old and new here again, Arkan ...!”

Nadia and Thalia shook their heads, seeing their husbands fighting over Askara, until Askara's face looked confused from the contested opinion.

“Tuh see, candidate besan the bar-bar. The title of his grandson,” said Ardha.

“Our papi is usually anti-loss with Devan! Devan is the same, from the first they always compete in anything!” thalia.

“Including same time Aunt Ica, right?” Ardha.

“Yes that is, not only that, he just continues to compete in business, plus now rivals want to hold grandchildren. Indeed they never realized when they were old!” thalia.

“Cause of the elders, the older they become, Auntie,” said Nadia.

“That's your husband, the elders are becoming more and more, his wife is still young,” said Thalia.

“This is not wrong? Want to make friends call him Aunt?” ask Iwan.

“This is a strange Wan later. Mama Nadia is papi's niece, and means Mama Nadia yes my cousin's sister, Alana's grandson papi same mami actually, Alana yes my niece actually. Weird, right? In the past Papa Dev was a friend of papi college, well papi used to want to marry Papa Dev's first wife, his name was Aunt Ica. I still don't know why I married Sister Nadia, I mean Mama Nadia. Do you remember the tree, so Mama Nadia ya call mami aunt?” obviously Ardha.

“But it's okay dong, same niece, not mahromnya, Ar?”

“It's okay, but call him belibet. Now Mama Nadia don't call mami aunty dong, sister or what is it, Ma? Or jeng, let socialite mom cake?” Ardha.

“You it! Mama's been the tongue manggi papu om, and your mama aunty, so what do you want again?”

“Om same nephew besananan, hilarious! What a hilarious you guys,” said Iwan.

“Funny yes, besananan same nephew?” thalia said with a chuckle. “It used to be the late Ica, if I betrothed Acha to Ardha or Zhafran, he always said, there is no dictionary Ica made with the former! This even wants to be made by a nephew? Very funny,” said Thalia. “You're married to Devan, Nad?”

“Yes how else do you want auntie? People have been a match, keep me also love,” replied Nadia.

“Hmm ... That's it, huh? Devan still keep his soul mate from small, from your mother TK nih Lan, your father often take care of your mama. When in Japan is a lot of work, even if your mama whines to ask your father to come home, your father comes home immediately tomorrow or shabby. Though you know Lan, what did your mama want? Eating ice cream is like buying a book. Though can be delivered Papinya Ardha maybe, or his father or his mother? Ask your papa, have to go home,” said Thalia.

“So does auntie? Would you like to open my card?” said Nadia.

“Ya just unique once,” said Thalia.

“Iya anyway can-can Om Dev also want ya?” Iwan.

They talk about Ardha and Alana's wedding day. Nadia and Thalia also chose the wedding dress for Alana and Ardha. Though that was near the marriage of Fatih and Shaka, but they had already determined nothing themselves. Nadia has also selected dresses for her two future daughters-in-law. Not felt at the age that is still not even fifty years old, Nadia already has grandchildren and daughters-in-law.

“Just I met Ayleen, now he will belong to someone again. My little Ayleen turns out to be Alana, the girl I have always loved, like my own son,” muttered Nadia.
