In the afternoon that afternoon. In the back garden of Mr. Aryo's house. The two people who used to be friends looked at each other with roaring breath.
Ardi took his wife into the house. Deliberately letting the two men solve the problem.
Ardi chose to enjoy precious time with his beloved wife. Pay for the misses he saved during work.
"Well, how can Doctor Gery be with Mas anyway?" alya asked while helping to take off Ardi's work clothes.
Ardi stood looking at his wife with an affectionate and mature look.
"There's a problem to be solved babe, this abis Mas go again huh"
"uh? Going again?" alya asked snorting, but after being tired of working Alya wanted to indulge for a long time.
"Yes. Maafin Mas, there will be Mira, there is Fitri, there is Ida, Mamah will also come home"
"Hummm but it's different"
"You're spoiled now, aren't you?"
"Can't you?"
"May, I love it when you're spoiled. But this time understand. Bosa is waiting. Pray for the problem to be solved quickly! You're fine at home, remember Mas's message, don't leave the house without Mas's permission and have to be with Fitri!"
"Yes. Lian always did'ain Lian's husband at all times. Where are you going?"
"You found the car rental guy Jack hired"
"Oh still about Jack?"
"Yes. Tomorrow morning the trial of Riko and Lila's case on defamation. I hope to be dealt with quickly, dizzy dealing with them"
"May Riko succeed and win ya Mas"
"Yes. Got to! If this week's business is not finished, I have to ask Papa for help"
"To Papa?"
"Huum, Gunawijaya also has his own team that is not less reliable than the police"
"really?"
"Do you remember the time you ran away?"
"Why dyingetin anyway! Don't worry, Lian's shy"
"That's not what you mean. That means the ones who picked you up, it was Papah's people, they're good detectives Papah trusts, that's just a small part of it"
"Why didn't they just work from the beginning? Let the spit be done, Lian is afraid of Mas"
"Kan mas once said dear, Mas did not want to be considered Papah's child who could not be a problem. Mas will show Papah, Mas can selesein Mas problem. So this is why Mas went alone, if new to Papah. The police know first"
"Yeah, but why does Lian fit, I tell them?"
"Because you are my life, you are my world. I can't do it without you, I can't think you're leaving. So stay on the side. Listen to what you say, understand"
"Emmpt, yes Lian understood" Alya replied nodding sweetly.
"Yes a bad hug"
"Empt" answered Alya spread her arms to welcome her husband's warm embrace.
As always, after work before doing anything. Ardi let go of all his fatigue and filled his battery by hugging his wife. Some kind of ritual obligatory for the couple.
Alya was like a storehouse of energy for Ardi, a place where he could decipher the tangled threads on his head into a neat seam order. A place where he could cool his boiling head.
Although still sticky and the smell of sweat, Alya herself really likes the scent of her husband's body. Although only a few seconds, hugging her husband means so much to Alya.
"Cup-cup" Ardi kissed Alya's forehead with anxiety.
Alya looked up her head with her potent smile in return.
Once the dopamine hormones are laced together. Alya let go of her wound letting her husband clean himself. Then Alya prepared a change of clothes. While waiting, Alya prepared a warm tea and a snack.
****
Near the private pool of the Gunawijaya family that looks clear and clean. Surrounded by colorful leaves from the collection of expensive plants Bu Rita. Plus a touch of neatly arranged ceramic ornaments. It is a romantic and beautiful place to hang out.
Two people who hold each other's feelings look at each other. There was no one else, so they were awkward with each other.
"Hai Mir" said Gery, looking forward to worry and doubt.
A few hours ago, Mira pushed Gery violently and left him with a sideways answer.
"Ehm" Mira just cleared her head, held both hands, shifted all her awkwardness so as not to look embarrassing.
For some reason, remembering Gery's statement this morning makes Mira nervous. Mira can't control herself to stay calm.
"Old old?" gery asked again opening the conversation trying to melt the tension.
"Morning"
"Come here?"
"Not new first, Alya ngajak playing"
"Oh" Gery nodded. "Ehm" Gery cleared his throat and sat down in the gazebo next to Mira.
"Oh my God, why do I look like such a fool.
My heart, heart, my blood, my hormones, please coordinate well.
He's just Gery, not the judge who's gonna stand up to me. Huuufts"
Gery sighed softly, then looked at Mira deeply. There was a sense of worry and regret that fused into one in his heart.
There are 1 day left to prove it. After that Mira tied others up, although not married, but in his religion asking for women who have been betinaang banned. So Gery has to fight, it's Gery who's supposed to tie him up.
"Why did you leave this morning?" gery asked, looking at Mira.
"Gue a lot of work"
"Oh, do you believe my words?"
"Ehm" Mira cleared her throat again against the pounding of her heart that was getting faster.
Although he was mature, still getting a statement of love from his heart made him feel palpitating.
"I love you, I love you, cancel your engagement"
Those words always appeared in Mira's mind. The words he had been waiting for years. Words that Mira always fought for.
Gery looked at Mira again, Mira's face looked very awkward. Gery is sure, Mira in front of him is still the same as the old Mira. And Gery likes that.
"Can you trust me?" gery said again.
"Creduce what?" ask Mira.
Gery then looked at Mira, shifting her body closer to Mira. They are now facing very close.
"Do I have to say it again? Wasn't this morning clear enough I said?"
Mira gulps her saliva, rewinds her seat avoiding Gery's gaze. But Mira stuck to the gazebo pole.
"Which word are you?" asked Mira nervously.
"Cancel your engagement, come back to be my stalker, marry me" Gery said.
Mira is getting excited. In fact his heart was very happy, between believing and not whether this was a dream or just a hallucination.
"I love you Mir. Marry me" Gery said again.
Spontaneously Mira's tears trickled down her white cheeks. Mira could not answer. Mira tried to wipe her tears.
Unfinished Mira's hand moves, Gery grabs Mira's hand, and replaces it with her hand wiping Mira's tears. Gery gently stroked Mira's cheek and threw away the clear water droplets.
"I'm sorry I made you wait too long, I'm not too late right? There's still time for me, right?" ask Gery again.
Mira grew increasingly powerless to hold her tears out again, even more profusely.
Mira is happy, this is her dream, this is her dream, but why in a time like now. Will his father and mother bless him, or will it make them angry.
"Can I trust what you say?" ask Mira slowly.
"Of course"
"How can I believe what you're saying?"
"Grab my hand Mir, give me strength. I'll prove who Tito is to your family, he doesn't deserve you"
Gery looked at Mira deeply and spoke softly. Her hands grabbed Mira's hands.
"Trust me, no one understands you but me, I'll prove it"
"Does this mean you're fighting for me?"
"Of course"
"I don't want to be your stalker anymore"
"Why? Are you tired of being my stalker?"
"Not"
"I understand, I'm sorry Mir. I screwed you up wrong, let me, let me now stalk you"
"I don't want to!"
"Continue what? So you really rejected me? Is there really no feeling for me anymore? Don't you want me? I'm sorry, give me a chance to make up for it"
"I don't want to be your stalker, but I want to be your queen, I want you just for me, to be mine, so on" Mira replied loosely and spontaneously.
Gery's smile instantly burst, it felt like rain during a long drought. If it had wings, maybe Gery would just fly and float.
Gery clasped Mira's hand, pulled her and hugged her tightly.
The garden gazebo of Ardi's house bears witness to their confession of love. The breeze, the beautiful leaves and koi fish collection of Mr. Aryo, as if singing and dancing happily.
"Why not answer?" mira whispers in Gery's ear.
Gery took off his open. Gery clasped Mira's hand tightly and looked at her. Mira lets Gery hold her and stares back waiting for Gery to answer.
"Of course, I'm yours, my heart my love, everything. Stay by my side, never think of going and turning again. We'll get married, we'll be happy, we'll stay together until the end of our age"
"I promise I won't turn away again, but what about Tito and my parents"
"Tonight as soon as I can, I'll show you who Tito is to your parents. Believe it"
"Empts"
"Prophey yes"
"Yes, I'm waiting"
