Albern and Lily
The Love Story of Albern & Lily (End)

Albern and Lily are seen sitting in the waiting room of an event. Soon, the couple will be performing as their guest stars. Over a year both of them were looking forward to this event, especially Lily. Of course, because the event that just started a few minutes ago is the launch of a book by a phenomenal author. A book that tells the story of Albern and Lily's journey from the beginning of their struggle, to the present day become an inspiring couple.

At that time, after the birth of Austin, a famous writer came to meet Albern and Lily, then expressed his intention to immortalize the story of the two of them into a book. At first, Albern refused. However, when he remembered how beautiful and winding his love journey with Lily before becoming a married couple, the man began to be interested and finally agreed with the offer from the author.

The process turned out to be quite long. After months of being a resource person, their life story was finally written. But it's not enough to get there. There are still many other processes until the manuscript is successfully published. And finally, today is the launch.

"Sir Albern and Lady Lily, are you ready?" ask a member of the event committee.

The couple looked over and nodded at the same time.

"Well, soon the host will invite Mr and Madam in" said the committee member again.

Not long after, the host also mentioned the names Albern and Lily, which were immediately greeted with a standing ovation from the invitees present. Along with that, Albern and Lily were directed to enter the stage of the event.

The applause grew boisterous as the phenomenal couple joined the hosts. It took a while for the host to make the atmosphere again conducive. After that, the question and answer session begins.

After a short chat, the host began to throw a question at Albern.

"Mr Albern, I'm intrigued by one of the quotes in this book that says you've been in love with Miss Lily since Miss Lily was born. Is that some kind of figurative phrase?" ask the host.

"No" said Albern.

"Didn't you? So, is it true that you've been in love with your wife ever since your wife was born?" repeat the show host again.

"Yes, right." Once again Albern.

"Well, kind of anti-mainstream, huh?" The host was a little joking.

Albern smiled, then fell silent for a moment before opening his mouth again.

"Yes, it might sound a bit absurd, but that's the truth" Albern said.

"remarkable. Just this time I heard there are people falling in love with their partner even since their partner was born." The host took the show more seriously.

"To be honest, I also just found out that I've been very charming since birth." This time Lily who responded with a bit of sloppiness, so the atmosphere back to be fresh.

"The full story is in this book, right? So everyone has to read this book if they want to know what the story is like," the host said.

Albern chuckled in response.

"It's okay, I don't mind telling it one more time" the man said later.

"Of course we'd be very happy to hear it directly from you." The host of the show chimed in.

Everyone who had previously laughed seemed silent and looked forward to Albern telling a story.

Albern looked at Lily for a moment and grabbed her hand for her to hold. Only then did the man look back at the invitation present.

"At that time, I was only nine years old, when Mama invited me to go visit her foster sister who had just been blessed with a daughter." Albern finally opened his story.

"I didn't want to come at first, but Mama insisted. I don't think it's special to see a newborn baby girl because I already have a little sister. But when I came and saw the baby girl, I was hypnotized. He was like the incarnation of such an enchanting angel. Somehow my brain became empty. I came closer and knew how to kiss her cheek without me noticing" Albern said.

"You really kissed her cheek?" reload the host.

"Please no one imitates because it is not a commendable act." Lily chimed in while shaking her head.

The atmosphere was once again fresh.

"Right, what I did might not be something commendable. Having an interest in a newborn, you can't get rid of that feeling until the baby grows up to be a little girl. I tried to stay away and cover up my feelings, but the boy used to tease me. Actually, I'm a victim here too." Albern also replied rather jokingly.

Everyone laughed again, including Lily and the host.

"So, that's how you feel about Miss Lily, huh?" ask the host at Albern after the people's laughter has subsided.

"I don't know how to describe it. I don't think it's just strong, but more than that. I was more receptive to waiting for him without clarity than to end my feelings. I've even thought, maybe it's okay for me to be alone all my life if he and I don't match. I really can't imagine having to spend the rest of my life with someone other than him" Albern said.

This time, Lily did not fill her husband's words with jokes again. He looked at Albern with a feeling that could not be described with words. He didn't expect that Albern's feelings could be that big on him.

"I'm so thankful that God still seems to be kind to me by letting Lily be my wife, because otherwise, I would definitely be the loneliest person in the world." Albern closed the story by gently tucking the back of Lily's hand.

Applause was heard filling the room. Everyone present was moved by Albern's story. And of course, Lily became the one who felt the most moved. Until this moment even often he still does not believe that the man he loved since childhood also has feelings for him that are just as great.

The event of the book release was continued by interviewing also the person who had written the book. Of course it's still with Albern and Lily as well. At the end of the event, the organizers distributed a souvenir to the invitees who attended in the form of a book that had just been launched. A book contains the true story of two human children who must take a winding road in order to unite in a marriage. The book is called The Love Story of Albern & Lily.

The show is finally over. Albern and Lily are on their way home. It had been almost the day they left Austin in Zaya's care, and it was time they had to pick up their son who was only a few months old.

"After Austin's little brother was born, it looks like we really should be using the services of a baby sitter, honey. We can't continue to leave our child to Mama as now," said Albern while gently rubbing Lily's stomach which is now starting to contain again.

Lily did not delay pregnancy after giving birth to Austin. That's why she's pregnant again now, even though Austin hasn't even been a year.

"no need. I've decided to take some time off and leave all the company's business to Robbin after giving birth later." Lily nodded while leaning her head on Albern's shoulder.

"Even if you are on leave, you still need someone to help you.You don't forget, right? Austin's sister will be born later there are two, not one," Albern said again as he carried Lily into his arms. He reminded Lilly that his wife was pregnant with twins.

"Yes, I remember, time forgot?" Lily muttered.

"That's why, this time you have with me" Albern said.

"Yes, it's up to Brother Al" Lily said again as she closed her eyes. Still on his way, he was about to take a nap in Albern's arms.

Albern sighed a little, but then he stared at Lily with a faint smile. There are times when his wife is so stubborn and does not want to hear his words. However, compared to all of that, there were millions of happiness Lily had brought into her life. Like what he said at the event, he was grateful God made this woman as his life friend.

"You're exhausted, honey. Sleep well. Next time let me help you more, as much as you give me happiness" whispered Albern as he landed a kiss on Lily's forehead.

After that, Albern tightened his embrace while also closing his eyes as well. Again he murmured inwardly, asking God to let this happiness be with him forever.
