A Million Love For Alana
Strong Enough Inner Bond

“Sepi yes, Ma?” devan hugged Nadia from behind. “We have four children, all of whom no one lives here. Yesterday there was Acha, now Acha has returned to his home again.”

“This is how parents, Pa. Mother used to feel the same father also like this, his children one by one leave the house because to organize his new life with his partner. Same with us. Yes all parents must feel like this, Pa,” said Nadia.

“Yes, that's right what you said. How does it feel to have one child like my mom and dad? It feels so lonely. I only have four children like this, a house that was crowded, full of laughter, boisterous children teasing each other, fighting each other, now quiet, just the two of us.”

Devan and Nadia were enjoying a quiet night on the front porch. His magnificent house which is usually crowded, now only the two of them are left alone. All of her children are already living with their partners. Such is life, it cannot be beautiful forever beautiful, happy forever happy, sad forever sad. Everything revolves, in order to enjoy all the stages in life.

“Tomorrow to Shaka yuk's house, Ma? We go there, use a motorcycle, we berbongcengan ya itung-itung touringlah. I miss Shaka,” with Devan.

“Boleh, later run out of Shaka, tomorrow or shabby to Fatih's house, then to Acha's house, while waiting for Alana and Ardha holiday in Bali, later if they have returned from Bali, then, we go there.”

“Wear the motorcycle, huh? Touring is to Jogja, take Arkan with Thalia for sure they want,” said Devan.

“Jiaaahh ... later encokmu friday, Pa!” alana said with a chuckle.

“That you even doain that?”

“Yes people ride the motor just close pegel his waist? Especially until Jogja, Pa?”

“Iya anyway, but we have to try anyway, Ma? There's Arkan and Thalia too, right rame?”

“Gak ah, fear papa lumbago!” hatch Nadia.

“Wah mock you! I'm old you're mocking, huh? Who is over the age of papa is also a lot of you who still like touring? Even far away, Ma?” devan.

“Yes yes much? But do they often tour far, papa has not long? Farthest to the beach? Aye, right? Same to Acha's house?”

“Iya anyway, but papa would occasionally touring to Jogja, giving a surprise to Ardha and Alana. Exciting anyway, let alone the same Arkan,” said Devan imagined.

“Constrate no?”

“Strength, carry you I'm still strong?” answer Devan.

“Ya has been planned the same Om Arkan and Aunt Lia,” said Alana.

“The same made by calling om?”

“Ishh hard to call what, already know, Pa!”

Nadia didn't think Alana was Ayleen. If Ayleen did not disappear, it would be impossible to match Ardha. Son of his omnya. Yes, that is the soul mate, which is full of mystery. Let alone Alana with Ardha, he never thought that he would be paired with Devan? The man she used to think of as her own, and after dating Keenan, Devan's younger cousin, Nadia gets closer to Devan, as she is about to become her brother-in-law. Not to mention, she even became Devan's wife, after the dark incident happened to her.

“The fool is indeed a mystery huh, Pa? We never know, who we will marry, and who we will age with,” said Nadia.

“Iya anyway, soul mate is really a mystery,” Devan assented Nadia's opinion. “Kok mama so talk about soul mate?” ask Devan.

“Yes never thought Alana would be with Ardha. Maybe if Ayleen hadn't gone missing, and wouldn't have become Alana, he wouldn't have gotten along with Ardha? But yes because semisterius was a soul mate, so they suddenly united. Where was her brother ever again? Mama's oath until now the same sprain Zhafran not finished-finished, Pa!”

“Not remembered. Alana's happy, Zhafran is too? Happy maybe, but papa sure not anyway,” said Devan.

“Why wear may be everything, Pa?”

“Yes might be happy, maybe not. Mama knows for herself how Binka is now, right? While Alana, have a son from him?”

“Iya anyway, yes his own fault act, yes get his karma. Don't take karma lightly!”

“Iya, I know. Don't be angry. The important thing is that Alana is happy with Ardha now. We here also have to be happy, grateful to see our children can live happily,” Devan said.

Nadia nodded, yes, the most important thing is now that her children have lived happily with their respective partners.

Arkan and Thalia agree with Devan's proposal to tour Jogja, to Alana's house, giving a surprise to Alana and Ardha, if later they have returned from Bali. Arkan has also not been motorized long enough, the closest. While he was still feeling well, and still able to ride a long-distance bike, he agreed to Devan's idea.

“Papi sure want motoran to Jogja? Not tired? Encok papi kumat?” thalia.

“Idih? Sure enough, I've long missed the motoran far away. Can we remember, honey?” arkan.

“Yes, long time no touring huh, Pi? Yes, we will go to Jogja on a motorcycle.” Thalia agreed.

“Ya if you want to go home tired, yes the motorcycle is in stay there, we go home by train or use travel, can you?” arkan.

“If the tired fit not yet arrived?” ask Thalia.

“Ya just take the motorcycle where it is, then contact who told you to take the motorcycle. Today's era is very sophisticated mi, do not worry, the important thing is we are careful,” explained Arkan. “Where, mommy wants to, right? Touring you know, let's like young people, even though our age is as old as this.”

“Iya, would. As long as there are other friends, not just the two of us,” replied Thalia.

Arkan and Thalia did not tell their children if they wanted to tour Jogja. If he says, surely his children sell themselves to go to Jogja on a motorcycle.

Ardha and Alana still enjoy a holiday at once Honeymoon in Bali. Ardha still does not want to go home, he still feels at home in Devan's private villa in the beach area.

“Your father is great huh, Lan? In this area alone there are four villas have your papa, which is a private villa, he said it should not be rented, which uses family only, if that is there, just for rent,” said Ardha.

“Iya papa is indeed a great person. Honey I know only yesterday that I am a real child papa and mama,” replied Alana.

“If you are not lost, we will never be a match, dear ...” said Ardha.

“Yes too, huh? We're even sisters?” alana.

“Lan, never cheat, yes?”

“Ih speaking? How strange are you, mas? Yes not it! What am I a girl?” alana was upset.

“Yes there are more times than me, so you are another try-in?”

“Idih ... is kayak time a try? Weird know you!”

“Now a lot, Lan. Women on cheating, playing behind the husband, do not know what the purpose of how could be so?”

“Searching for sensations only possible? Sensation in bed,” replied Alana with a laugh.

“Basic!” ardha Tukas.

“Yes now many are so, Mas. I'm just surprised the same woman who is like that?”

“Yes I see from my own brother, he cheated on his wife at that time.”

“Udah not so, I see the horror, can-can women cheat that?”

“Yes can if there is intention, Mas?” alana.

“Iya anyway it all depends on the intention.”

Alana should be the one who's afraid of being cheated on again. But, she believes that Ardha is not like her brother. Ardha is a very nice man. Alana has felt that since long ago she was close to Ardha.

^^^

Three months have passed, Alana lived her days as Ardha's wife. A wife who is truly blessed by her husband. Ardha always gives a surprise every day.

Alana was sitting on the edge of the bed. She had just swallowed the disappointment because the thing that showed the pregnancy was one-striped. He was late for the moon. Alana already wanted to establish Ardha child, although Ardha sometimes forbade Alana to get pregnant, because Askara was still too small. Ardha said let Askara big first, at least five years and above. Pity if it is not even two years has been given to sister again.

“You why manyun, Lan?” ask Ardha. “Morning is that manyun?”

“This is just one line? I want to love you son, honey?” answer Alana moody.

“This part of you, I told you not to get pregnant, pity Askara, dear? He is still too small,” said Ardha. “He still needs us, still needs our guidance, still needs more attention than us, if you are pregnant, pity Askara. Later the time must be divided, we take care of the baby more often, and Askara even later the same opa and oma? Have enjoyed it first, later when it is time, we will definitely be given offspring. Trust me,” said Ardha.

“Yes, I'm afraid you're angry I'm not pregnant?”

“We're married three months, not three years yet, dear? Don't worry, you can get pregnant again. Don't think of the no?” Arya.

“He didn't think of anything?” alana.

“Ya already you shower gih. I want a meeting today, so maybe back in the afternoon?”

“Iya, it's okay,” replied Alana.

After finishing the bath, Alana approached Ardha who was holding Askara on the front porch. Alana saw the cuisine was neatly arranged on the dining table. Now Ardha does not allow Alana to cook, it's all because she does not want Alana tired, because in the morning until the afternoon she was in her shop with Askara, sometimes Askara she left it to her mother at home.

“Breakfast, yuk? It's ready for breakfast,” Alana. “Come Askara sama munda here.” Alana takes Askara from Ardha's sling.

They enjoyed breakfast together, and after that, they returned to their usual activities. Alana goes to her shop until noon, and Ardha goes to her office.

^^^

In the afternoon, Alana and Ardha are shocked by the arrival of the alone Zhafran. Not knowing why Zhafran suddenly came to Jogja alone without Nina and Binka.

“Sir Zhafran?” Ardha was shocked that her sister came to her house. “Cock here don't say?” ask Ardha.

“Iya, I've been in Jogja two days, this just stopped by. There is work here,” replied Zhafran. “This is just a minute, keep going home. Yes mumpung there is a brother here, can I stop by even for a moment?”

“Why did you just stop by anyway? Come in,” take Ardha.

“I'm busy, Ar. My client is kind of like that. This is why I just had time to stop by, later the most finished isya I came home. You know tomorrow Nina asked for my company at her school event, so yes you have to go home today, so tomorrow morning already at home,” explained Zhafran.

Alana goes in, asks her assistant to make a drink for her sister-in-law.

“Tuh, there's papa, dear?” ardha told Askara.

“This is the same papa, papa kangen you,” pinta Zhafran.

Alana has not yet come out to meet Zhafran, even though Zhafran drinks have been escorted aunt out.  Alana was arranging dinner, there was her sister-in-law coming, at least she had to entertain her guests well. Alana came out after finishing dinner.

“Ih directly want it with papanya?” said Alana who saw Askara in the lap of Zhafran. Tumben once Askara wants to go directly, usually with others must be adjusted first.

“Iya it's tumben, directly want him, Lan,” said Ardha.

“Kan now Askara is big, so ya already know yes, dear?” zhafran told Askara.

“Sir Zhafran, eat first yuk?” bring Ardha.

“Iya later,” replied Zhafran, because he still wants to be with Askara.

After a long time playing with Askara, Zhafran finally wanted to eat dinner together.

“This is definitely what you cooked huh, Lan?” ask Zhafran.

“Not, auntie who cooks, I rarely cook now, brother. You sometimes go home in the afternoon,” replied Alana.

“From my wife's bother, so I added another assistant, specially for cooking.”

“Yes right, don't be too tired, besides the wife is not just cooking her work, Lan. Except the work at home, can be taken with cooking, so it is natural that there is no assistant.”

“Iya's right, Brother. Alana's busy at the moment.” Ardha.

“The store is crowded again, Brother. Especially if the weekend, crowded visitors must be kak,” said Alana.

From earlier Askara the tumbens are still stuck with Zhafran. Maybe he missed, however Askara was his biological child, so there must be an inner bond between them.

Zhafran was ready to go home even though Askara still wanted to be carried Zhafran. Yes not only with Zhafran alone, yesterday when Iwan to the house of Ardha as well, Iwan was not allowed to go home with Askara, until Askara new sleep Iwan home.

“Papa want to go home, son? Later again huh? Later papa come here Kak Nina, tomorrow morning papa wants an event at your sister's school because. Papa's home, huh?” Zhafran tried to seduce Askara, but Askara still did not want to escape.

“Tumben yes, Mas, Askara really close at all Brother Zhafran?” alana galau.

“Already, maybe in kangen, like Iwan yesterday too, right?” ardha.

“Do not be afraid, Lan. A child must be like this. It used to be Nina so if the same is Ardha, if Ardha plays home, Nina has not slept, yes Ardha can not go home?” zhafran.

“Yes too, Nina used to be?” sahut Ardha's.

“Quietly, Askara is unlikely to get close to me, Lan. He's here with you and Ardha, where might he be close to me? He's like this yes probably just being comfortable with me,” Zhafran said.

“Iya, Brother. Not I mean so, tumben once, usually the same brother does not want, sister until hard to seduce him if you want to invite Askara.”

“Yes right I said, he might be comfortable, could be the same miss me,” said Zhafran.

“Iya may,” replied Alana disoriented.

Alana was afraid, afraid that with this Zhafran would often come here. He did not want Askara to be close to Zhafran, even though he was his real father, instead of wanting to separate his son and biological father, but Alana still had a little bit of disappointment in her heart, when Zhafran did not care about the time she was divorced while pregnant.

“I know the gravity of your heart, Lan. I know it. I'm self-conscious too, who am I? I realized I had hurt you, and made you afraid that I would take Askara. That won't be possible, Lan. Because Askara has a good father, he is my younger brother,” muttered Zhafran.
