After Marriage
CHAPTER 19

Kiran tidies up her belongings while Maya and Yuli get out, giving Kiran a chance to enjoy her new room.

Still busy unpacking the suitcase, Aslan walked into this room. Kiran looked at her own coolness, to the point of not being aware of her presence.

"Honey." call Aslan softly, Kiran who has memorized the voice then turned her head while smiling.

"I told you not to call darling, still." muttered Kiran, pretending to be upset when otherwise. It doesn't matter at all with the call, just not used to it.

"Why not ask Banyuan bik Asni to clean this up?" asked Aslan while sitting on the thick carpet.

Bik Asni is one of the household assistants in Aslan's house.

"I can still do it myself, why ask someone else for help?" kiran answered and asked a question.

Aslan could not answer, he just smiled while looking closely at the wife's eyes.

For some reason, when he looked into those eyes he was like drowning. Unable to turn.

"I'll see Maya first, we'll talk three, okay?" asked Aslan again, when Kiran had already cut off that gaze and paid attention to her belongings again.

"Yes, call me later. I'll see you guys." replied Kiran, she turned a glance and came back busy on her own.

Aslan then approached and kissed the head of the wife.

Kiran was stunned, suddenly her hands stopped moving.

"I'm out." Pamit Aslan and Kiran just nodded, noticing the husband who was slowly starting to come out.

Closing the door with a smile.

Kiran also smiled, then returned with her own busyness.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Aslan came out and looked for the whereabouts of his first wife, apparently after delivering the departure of the Fahmi family earlier, now Maya is with her mother to help clean the dining table.

Aslan approached, standing right beside Maya and then linking her fingers.

Maya flinched, but immediately smiled widely when the one who was bothering her was the husband. The husband she misses so much.

Without warning, Maya hugged Aslan tightly. No matter who's there. Yuli who saw that only smiled, understanding the longing of the son-in-law.

"Sana, take your wife to the room" said Yuli, mocked, heard her father-in-law's voice, Maya, then broke the hug.

Following Aslan's steps leading him to ascend to the 2nd floor, enter into their room.

This room has been cold and quiet this week.

A moment after they entered and Aslan closed the door, Maya again hugged him tightly. Smell the scent of her husband's body mixed with other women. His heart was sobbing, he really wanted to cry.

But as hard as he could, he held.

"Darling." said Aslan, but Maya did not budge, still hiding her face in the chest of the husband's field.

"May, I want to see your face." explained Aslan gently, his hand moving around stroking his wife's back. Hugging no less tightly the body of the woman he missed so much.

But for a few seconds, Maya still did not make any movement. Aslan even felt her chest wet for a moment.

It turned out that Maya could not, without a sound, shed all her tears.

"Honey." call Aslan again trying to push the wife, Maya according, seen Maya's face that was wet.

I swear by whatever Aslan couldn't see those tears. Aslan knows very well what makes Maya cry, Kiran. Because he and Kiran are now fused.

"I'm sorry Mas, it turns out I'm not khas, it turns out I'm not willing to see you with mbak Kiran." explained Maya as she pleased, voicing her heart so tight.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Maya sissed, she looked down and tears kept falling even to the floor.

Unable to power, Aslan then re-captured Maya tightly. Smell at the shoots of his head repeatedly, trying to give him calmness.

Aslan fell silent, suddenly his heart was broken.

Long enough they hug each other, until Maya's cries subside and only leave as they please.

He even poured water into a glass that was available above the sofa table.

Maya accepts it and drinks it down to the toilet.

He saw the husband who was still faithful silent, while looking into his eyes fixed.

Maya knows that neither she nor Aslan can back down. He was the one who contributed the most in this, in polygamous decisions.

"May_"

"I'm sorry, Mom." Cut Maya fast.

Aslan who originally wanted to explain the matter sat down immediately fell silent. He then took Maya's hand and held it tightly.

"I love you May." said Aslan.

That one sentence was what he wanted to say the most from now on. That her marriage to Kiran would change nothing. She will always love Maya, even as her love for Kiran grows.

Maya smiles.

That's what he wanted to hear.

"I love you too Mas, forgive me, for a moment I was carried away by emotions and began to regret my past decisions." explained Maya.

"But you know, we can't back down, now that Kiran and I are married, I won't divorce her. Because with the kabul I said yesterday, Kiran has become my full responsibility."

Maya nodded, even though her heart was so sore.

In the past, Aslan had also said that, if he had married Kiran, he would not have divorced Kiran at any time.

But Maya remained steadfast to ask her husband to remarry.

"I know Mas, therefore forgive me." replied Maya wistfully.

Aslan then stretched out his hand and stroked the wife's cheek. The chin of maya was lifted and the lips were washed away.

Maya retorted, both of them released the longing that had been terpemdam.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

In the afternoon, Aslan asks Maya and Kiran to meet him in the study.

Maya came first, after her union with her husband this afternoon made her heart recover. Like getting his lost beliefs.

The belief that Aslan would not share love. With Kiran just a form of responsibility, that's it, period.

Maya also always prayed that one day Kiran would make a fatal mistake. The mistake that made Aslan divorce his second wife.

Kiran leaves, leaving him, Aslan and a child. It will be like that later.

Yeah, like that. Sure Maya.

"Call Kiran, come here at the same time." Aslan explained with a shady smile, Maya according, she had not had time to sit down, she then came back out.

Calling the honey at the request of the husband.

Inconveniencing. Inner complaining.

After knocking several times, Kiran's door opened.

At once Maya smiles, noticing Kiran's appearance from top to bottom.

Fun. His mind again grinned.

"Come on Ma'am, Aslan's already waiting," Maya asked with a smile.

Kiran nodded, then closed the door and followed Maya's steps.

Be prepared Ma'am, surely Aslan will rebuke you. Inner Maya, her lips kept smiling hinting at happiness.
