For A Husband Who Doesn't Love Me
42. You're my Wife

Arya and Kirana's marriage went well. Arya pairs the ring on Kirana's ring finger, while the camera's flash highlights their faces. Indeed, at the request of his omnya, several reporters as well as professional photographers were invited to witness their happiness tonight, in order to become the most popular news tomorrow.

Their fans, who often match them, must be very happy about this news. Or it could be a day of heartbreak for some women who really idolize Arya, and vice versa, for men who idolize Kirana.

Kirana turned to Ayu who was sitting flanking Maira. Ayu who realized she was being stared at by Kirana, immediately hid herself behind Maira's arm. He peeked occasionally, and it turned out that Kirana was still looking at him with pity.

Maira who noticed Ayu's uneasiness, immediately embraced Ayu into her arms. "It's okay, honey..."

Kirana approached them. "Ayu's still angry with Kiran?"

Ayu still looks scared. He further strengthened his circle of hands into Maira's arms.

"Sister Kiran is sorry, honey... Brother Kiran wrong has already snapped at you..." Kirana sounded sincere.

Maira was very understanding of what happened between Ayu and Kirana. It is not easy for both of them to accept the reality, especially Kirana's parents are victims of the crime of her biological mother Ayu.

Meanwhile Arya is busy dabbling with the Hidayat and Maira families. She was so happy on her wedding day to be witnessed by her loved ones. Her real mother also looks familiar with them there.

"The reception will be held one Sunday, I hope that Ms. Zainab and the extended family will come, yes..." Arya's mother looked so familiar.

"Goddessa... God willing if there are no significant obstacles, we will try to come..." Answer Ms. Zainab.

Arya lets her family and Kirana's family and Hidayat's and Maira's families talk, while she approaches Ayu. He focused on the little girl once in a while. "What's up?"

"Good..." Ayu replied while looking a little at Arya.

"Delighted, didn't Arya marry Kiran?" Arya asked so gently.

"Happy... Means now there's someone to take care of Kiran deh... May Brother Kiran be happy, and brother Arya do not hurt sister Kiran, yes... Come on please..." The little girl clenched her palms before Arya, making Kirana unable to hold her.

"Sorry Brother, darling... Sorry Brother..." Kirana said as she sobbed hugged Ayu.

Ayu who could not help her feelings, cried loudly in Kirana's arms. He seemed to miss the figure that his brother had suspected so far.

Maira immediately flanked Hidayat's arm to hide her cries. He felt overwhelmed to see the moment before him.

"Mai, I want Ayu back with me..." Pinta Kirana looked at Maira with a hopeful face, then turned to look at Arya who had just become her husband.

Arya smilingly nodded as she rubbed Kirana's back as if giving her permission, while Maira gulped roughly her saliva. He just felt comfortable with Ayu's presence, considering Ayu an important part of his life in recent times.

"Will Ayu be with Kiran, can Mai-Mai still meet Ayu?" Maira asked in a stifled voice.

"Why not, brother? Ayu dear sister Mai-Mai and bang Hidayat... Brother Mai-Mai and bang Hidayat are good anyway..." Ayu replied with a smile.

"For tonight let Ayu be with us huh, Nak Kiran... The day after tomorrow we will return to the village, and the children enjoy playing with Ayu..." Timbrung Rianur seemed to understand what his sister-in-law wanted.

I looked at Kirana. "May ya, brother... Ayu wants to play with Faiz and Faiza, her bang bang Hidayat..."

"Well, tomorrow afternoon Brother Kiran and brother Arya will pick Ayu up there..."

"Guide, I'll get some wind on the balcony first..." Arya said as she placed Kirana's suitcase beside the bed.

"Will you still have the wind?" Kirana's question suddenly turned awkward ever since they had legitimately become husband and wife.

"Emmm... I-i..." Arya suddenly nervously found Kirana's timid gaze.

"You take a shower first. If allowed, I'll get you a change of clothes..." Kirana looks clumsy.

"Sure..." Nod Arya while taking off the suit that is still attached to her body. "You just open up my closet, and you can put your clothes in it. Now, this is our room, and you are entitled, you are also free here... Don't hesitate... If you need anything, you just tell me..."

"I don't need anything anymore... I will not trouble you anymore, nor will I ask for something that confuses you anymore... I'm sorry about our past..." Cut Kirana fast.

Arya looked at Kirana with regret. "I should be the one apologizing, Kiran... And as for the past, let's just forget it..."

"But, I can't if I don't explain what happened the last time you left, Ar..." Deny Kirana.

"I don't want to talk about that anymore, Kiran... It's our wedding night..." Elak Arya tried to make Kirana understand. "And I don't even bother about that anymore. I want you to accept me without being bound by the past, and vice versa, I accept you and all your shortcomings..."

"Nothing happened when you found me out of that hotel room, Ar... I didn't do anything..." Kirana insisted on explaining everything. Even though Arya said in her mouth that she had no problem with it, Kirana still felt herself despised in Arya's eyes.

Arya remained silent.

"After you asked me to stay in the apartment, my stepmother called... Dad was critical and had to be taken to the ER. Mother asked me to prepare two hundred million, while I didn't have that kind of money..."

"Why not say? Didn't I never count as long as we were together?" Cut Arya looks so disappointed. He looked at Kirana so closely. "I'm trying to give my best for you... I was really serious about you back then, even on that day I intended to propose to you, Kiran..."

Kirana. He was at a loss for words, bowing his head no longer daring to look at Arya's face.

"Because I remember you, that's why I stopped... I try to avoid that guy... I gave him back all the money he gave me, so he got angry... You still remember, right, he yelled at us that time in front of the door of the room he ordered? At that time I really did not want to destroy your trust in me, because I really love..." Obviously Kirana while sobbing.

Arya helplessly saw Kirana so fragile. He brought Kirana's body into his arms. "I'm sorry, Kiran... I'm sorry I never tried to give you a chance to explain all that to me... And I'm sorry, I can't lie if I don't regret this... I'm grateful, because it's taking me to find a new family... Bringing me into a great change... I feel more able to distinguish what is right and what is wrong... I feel that I'm more mature than ever..."

Arya took Kirana back out of her arms, raising Kirana's chin in order to return her gaze. "God knows what is best for His servant, and this long journey is best... Not just me, but you, too, right?"

Kirana nodded. "Don't look at me as a disgusting woman again, I'm still a saint, Ar..."

Arya smile. "That's why you want to explain everything to me?"

"I just feel humiliated every time I see your eyes on me..." Reply Kirana grinned.

"Now not anymore... You are my wife, lawful and holy to me..."
