Duren Mateng's
Chapters 125. The Pay of a Long Wait

"God ... Bwa ... Bwa ..." said Abian chattering when around there are many toys. Bima also showed all the toys he had for Bima. He was very happy, this time had a playmate even though sometimes Abian did not understand the meaning of the speech from Bima.

While Rania, Arumi, and Miss Isna were talking. Sometimes he glanced at Alvira and Arjuna who were talking about serious things. They can judge that Arjuna loved Rania so much. It was clearly seen how Arjuna looked at the woman next to him.

"Son Arjuna seems to love Nak Alvira very much. Look at it from the way he looks at it, so sincere and deep," said Ms. Isna watching their interaction from a distance.

"Yes, I thought so too. That's why I really agree with Rania along with Arjuna, he is a good man" Arumi replied.

"I agree with my mom. Arjuna was very kind and loved Alvira very much. His eyes looked at Alvira with love. Let's just hope they are a match and after this Alvira can live happily" muttered Rania.

"Hopefully," said Arumi and Bu Isna simultaneously.

"What about your womb? Do you still feel nauseous?" asked Arumi who switched the subject.

"Still, Ma. But after that, during the day I must have eaten a lot of portions. Sometimes I just finished a plate of rice, but the taste is still lacking. Like wanting to eat something else again" explained Rania.

"Eating something else?" mrs Isna asked her forehead.

Bu Isna and Arumi stared at each other, trying to digest the ambiguous sentences spoken by Rania with different meanings.

"You can explain that in more detail, honey. Understand, we mothers who have been very experienced in that sometimes misinterpret your words just now," Arumi said as she expanded her smile. While Miss Isna giggled amusedly laughing at Rania's speech earlier.

"Oh, that .. I mean I want to eat a lot of food. Just a plate of rice is not enough," said Rania who clarified the previous sentence.

"Well, that's how it became clear" said Ms. Isna.

The two women who were about to enter old age also immediately chuckled. While Rania, the woman can only rub her nape. A little clumsy after joining the chatter of the mothers.

Fahri and Alvaro throw their eyes at each other when they see Bu Isna and Arumi laughing earlier.

"What they talk about makes them laugh out loud like that" Fahri said as he sipped the tea in front of him.

"Damate, Pa. Women are like that. If there is something interesting, they will talk about it slowly. The slower the voice, the sharper the info," Alvaro said with a smile.

"Have you ever joined them? It seems you really understand that" Fahri said, shaking his head at his son's words.

"Yes .. I just know it, Pa. Not that I was also joining the women," argued Alvaro grabbed the coffee in front of him, then sipped it slowly.

Now the views of the two turned to Arjuna and Alvira who were talking about whose position was quite far from them.

"Mama gave Arjuna her green light to get closer to Alvira. Is my dad like my mom?" alvaro looked at his twin brother.

Fahri sighed for a moment, before saying what he was going to talk about. "Actually papa was a bit heavy to allow Alvira to be close to another man. Not that papa disagrees with Arjuna, just that papa is still afraid, if your brother will be hurt for the second time," said Fahri.

"Arjuna talked about it to Papa. And papa gave enlightenment, that many girls out there were chasing after him. Alvira was a widow with only one child. However, Arjuna convinced papa, by comparing it to you," Fahri continued.

"Comparing it to me?" alvaro asked with a frown.

"Hmmm .... He said if Alvaro can get a girl, why not with Alvira who gets a virgin guy like me" Fahri said.

Alvaro immediately chuckled at this. He did not expect that Arjuna, who is notoriously quiet, was very brave to say so in front of the father of the woman he loved.

"Hearing such a speech, would you answer what? What he said was true. After all, papa also cannot prohibit because love can fall on anyone and any woman," continued Fahri.

"Yes .. should just give papa's blessing to them. I'm sure Arjuna can be trusted. I know him, he's better than Andre" Alvaro said.

"Papa also hopes like that. From the beginning, papa was a bit hesitant with Andre. However, because your brother wants it too much, you can't ban it either" Fahri said.

"For this one guy, is papa still doubting him just like papa doubting Andre?" asked Alvaro who was curious about his father's opinion.

"If it's Arjuna, papa doesn't doubt it like doubting Andre. There is one thing that makes papa sure of the child" said Fahri.

"He was very persistent to get Alvira. It's different with Andre" the man explained.

Alvaro responded to his father's remark with a nod of his head. But he also agrees with his father. Arjuna did show too much love for Alvira from the beginning, since they were still in college. It's just that , due to Alvira's blind love for Andre, makes Arjuna's struggle invisible to the woman at all.

At the same time, Alvira looked straight ahead. He was confused as to what to say to the man next to him. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Arjuna was the one who always opened the conversation.

"It seems that when he grows up, Abian will be a smart child, just like his mother," Arjuna said as he looked at the son of the woman he loved playing with Bima.

Alvira followed the direction of Arjuna's view, then he developed his smile to look at his son who seemed very happy to be invited to play by Bima.

"He is smart because he lives in the environment of people who love him" said Alvira, raising both corners of his lips to form a beautiful arch.

Arjuna was stunned when he saw Alvira smilingly looking at his son. The man fell in love again and again after seeing the smile of the woman beside him.

Alvira turned her head, she found Arjuna who was looking at her carefully, making the woman become misbehaved.

"Aalvira, ..."

"Yes." Yeah." Alvira chimed in on Arjuna's words without turning her head towards the man next to her. He was too embarrassed, and Arjuna's eyes seemed to catch him and bring him into the clear lake.

"Is there a chance for me to love you for real? I am tired of loving you in my imagination. I want to make it happen, I want to let it happen. I want to hold your hand, give my whole heart and show you how much I'm too deep to love you" Juna looked at Alvira in seriousness.

Alvira blinked her eyes a few times. He was a little awkward with this atmosphere. The woman looked around, looking like other people were busy with their conversations.

"Jun, I ...."

"Why? Are you going to reject me a second time? If yesterday I could only express my heart through writing. Right now I'm emboldening myself to express it through a speech and action" Juna said.

"If you reject me just because you are a one-child widow, I have no problem with that at all. I can love you and love your son. I'll raise him like my son. If you are afraid, then my love will change to him after I have your offspring. I'm willing to let us just have Abian. Do you still doubt me?" juna asked seriously.

Alvira was confused as to what to answer. His lips felt heavy to speak. Sometimes he looked at his little son who was there, laughing happily playing with Bima.

"Are you sure you can accept my flaws and also my advantages?" ask Alvira to make sure.

"I'm absolutely sure, Vira. Isn't that the definition of love? Can accept the shortcomings or advantages of our partner," said Arjuna with all his sincerity.

"Alright, I'll try it, Juna." Alvira also answered Juna's words accompanied by a slow nod.

Arjuna immediately felt in his chest like there were fireworks, as if exploding right then and there. He truly feels matchless happiness. How not? The wait of six years to wait for Alvira to accept his love, even making Arjuna close his heart to other women who are vying to chase him.

And finally, all those dreams have come true. Alvira opens the door of her heart to Arjuna, allowing Arjuna to enter into it.

Even so, Arjuna did not intend to just stop by. He wanted to prove that the man deserved to host Alvira's day. Until Alvira told him to stay in that vacuum. Filled that space with the million loves he had.

"Thank you, Vira. Thank you for giving me that opportunity. I promise I won't let you down. I also promise not to hurt you in the least" said Arjuna earnestly.

Alvira smiled, then nodded her head. "Prove it to me" said Alvira.

"Of course" replied Arjuna who also smiled.

From a distance, Arumi saw the interaction of the two. The woman also develops a smile when she sees Alvira who is also smiling along with Arjuna.

"It looks like they've been talking from heart to heart. Look at their smile as if hinting that something has just happened between them," said Rania set her sights on Alvira and Arjuna.

"It seems so. Hopefully, after this Alvira really escaped from the shadow of Andre. My poor son has borne a very heavy burden all this time. I hope, after this my daughter will be happy and not wrong again," said Arumi who was happy.
