Auristela (Mu'Alaf Beautiful)
Stories of the past 1

"Good fun, mas, mbak." Speaks kindly.

"Thank you, mas." Auri said kindly to the waiter.

And they enjoyed that dinner. And in the beginning, both of them drowned with the enjoyment of the taste of the food. Al even had time to forget the thing he wanted to tell Auri.

Shortly after they finished the meal, Al then remembered his words about the story he wanted to tell Auri. Meanwhile, Auri seemed not curious about anything, it made Al feel a bit strange and decided to ask Auri directly.

"You don't want to ask me anything?" Search Al.

Auri who was drinking stopped immediately Al asked like that. "About What, mas Al?"

"About my story I want to tell you."

"Are you sure you want to tell me?" Auri asked back.

"Yes. But, I'm waiting for you to ask first."

Auri smiled. "I've been waiting for Al to talk."

"Then, why don't you ask me something that can make me start telling stories?" Al was confused.

"Because I've been in the position of mas Al. There was a time when I didn't want to share my story with anyone. And everyone close to me, never asked me. They said they were waiting for me to talk to myself, when I was ready to tell you everything." Answer Auri.

"So, I waited for Mas Al to be ready to say everything. I did not ask not because I was not curious, really I was very curious and really wanted to hear the story of mas Al which made mas Al experienced a very torturous trauma and difficult to forget. But, I want to wait until Mas Al is really ready to share all the stories of mas Al with me." Obviously Auri.

Auri's explanation really made Al even more amazed at him.

"I'm so lucky to love and be loved by you, my dear." Soft talk.

"You may remember, after a week of your marriage to Kelvin, he left the boarding school to go to Jakarta or maybe he kept a secret from you where he was going." Al started talking.

"Yes, I remember. That afternoon he was ready to attend the wedding of his best friend in Jakarta. That's what he said." Auri said while remembering the time.

"Are you not suspicious?"

"I'm definitely suspicious. Because, if he did attend his best friend's wedding, he would have invited me too. But, he's gone alone."

Auri looks more relaxed when answering Al's question about her past story. And seeing Auri who seemed to not mind discussing it, Al finally ventured to say all the secrets he had been harboring alone for almost a year.

"Actually, Kelvin went to Jakarta to meet his old lover. And it was Marsya who was still my legal wife." Start storytelling.

Hearing the words, I don't know why Auri's heart felt sore and sick. He just found out Kelvin was playing him since the beginning of the marriage.

Al also continued the story that will make Auri know many things that he never imagined before, it will be done by a Kelvin who in fact is the son of KIAI Pesantren Pondok owner.

The Flashback

That night Al said goodbye to Marsya to leave for the set.

"I'm sorry, honey. There's a pre-dawn shoot, so we'll have to stay at the location." He said he regretted having to leave his wife again.

"It's okay, man. There's Rizki accompanying me."

"Yes, then go first. Assalamualaikum." Pamit Al's.

Not forgetting she kissed Rizki who was already sleeping on the bed. Then, he also gave a kiss of love to Marsya. Al then left for the set.
