FOR HER SAKE

FOR HER SAKE
S2 - Strange Behavior


With the help of mommy Shevi and daddy Alvin to take care of his two children, Alvaro prepares a surprise for his wife. As an expression of thanks also sorry.


Of course this idea was on the advice of his father-in-law who was experienced. Because daddy Alvin knows his daughter-in-law isn't a romantic guy. Be the guy proposing the idea to surprise you this afternoon.


"Not to fail! if you fail, mommy aduin you're the same Tiara!" so threatened her mother-in-law before they left the house.


Alvaro only grimaced and scratched his nape. He himself did not know what to do except follow all the instructions of daddy Alvin. He is also not a man who easily expresses his heart. He's not even good at talking.


"Huf.. I hope it works." Alvaro exhaled loudly, as a way to reduce the groggy feeling that began to attack.


Tiara had just told her that she had just finished class. It still took another 45 minutes until his wife arrived at the door. But it feels like it's the last second for the action.


Alvaro took a shower and prepared.


***


Tiara who just arrived at the house was astonished by the state of the quiet house. The windows are all closed, too. Not usually once.


"Didn't the kids hit the clock this time the window was closed" murmured Tiara who was walking up the front porch. "Are there no people?" still with a sense of wonder.


The main door was unlocked, which meant that someone was inside. But what's all this stuff like closed for. Inner Tiara.


The living room feels dark with the windows closed even to all the curtains.


Arriving at the living room Tiara's smile expands. There were many candles neatly lined up on the left right forming a path to lead him somewhere.


Under his feet, right at the end of the candle was a paper with the words Follow Me.


Without hesitation Tiara followed the candles. I don't know for what reason Alvaro did all this.


Yep. She knew that the one who did this must be her husband. Because who else lives in this house and does this all if Alvaro opens.


It's impossible for their security guards to do it? wh-wh-what for? and that's right!


It turned out that the candle was leading to the rooftop of their home. By raising his shoulders, Tiara accelerated his footsteps so that he knew what was going on.


And there. On their rooftop. Alvaro sat on a guitar. Welcomed her with a sweet smile that was always able to thrill her heart.


A warm smile that always accompanies the journey of their story.


Alvaro started playing an intro song. As her legs began to approach towards her husband.


And since when did Alvaro become this romantic?


Even usually forced like anything, her husband would never want to sing. He said the golden sound was too expensive to listen to.


And now, she smiled with an increasingly timid heart as her husband began to sing.


I got it


The journey you are now going through


I wish


Although heavy, you don't feel alone


You've been fighting


Conquering your days is not easy


Let me accompany you


Wash your tired


Tiara covered her mouth with both hands. It turns out that her husband's voice is quite good and good to hear. Unexpectedly, the talkative man had a real golden voice.


Let me paint twilight


Carve your name there


Heard you tell a story


Crying, laughing


Let me paint a night


Bring you the stars


'Your friend's injured


Until you're happy


And a tinge of orange accompanied Alvaro to sing. Make the atmosphere more romantic with lights that become their roof increasingly visible light.


I'm right here


If you are tired, try again, do not stop


I wish


Although heavy, you don't feel alone


You've been fighting


Conquer your unbeautiful days


Let me accompany you


Wash your tired


Because he had been a witness to the father when proposing to his mother.


Let me paint twilight


Carve your name there


Heard you tell a story


Crying, laughing


Let me paint a night


Bring you the stars


'Your friend's injured


Until you're happy, haa-haa


Haa-haa

Alvaro pulled the wife to sit next to him as soon as the man finished singing.


"What are you doing, Al? what day is it and what date is it?" tiara asked who still did not understand in what order her husband did it all.


"And tumben-tumbenan want to play guitar using all singing." he added which is colored light stiffness.


"For your sake." replied Alvaro.


"Yes but in what order, dear??" he cried with anxiety until his hands pinched slowly on her husband's cheeks.


There was a silent radiance that Tiara did not understand from Alvaro's eyes. And it is clear if her husband is groggy because he breathed many times.


"I want to thank you, yank." held both hands that have fought hard for their small family. A magical little hand that can make things go well. Hands that always warm for him and the children.


Tiara scrunched her forehead. I don't understand anymore. She didn't feel like she was doing anything for her husband.


"Thank you for being such a great wife and mother to me and the kids." Alvaro began before the words he had already strung together in his head evaporated and messed up what he had been working on from noon.


"Thank you because all this time you never complained even though I know, you must be very tired with all the activities that you live every day."


Tiara shakes. "It's my duty. And I se-" his sentence was cut off with Alvaro's finger stuck to his lips.


"I'm not done yet."


Tiara said 'okay' without a sound and would listen to every word that came out of her husband's mouth.


"You can still be the mama who is always there for our children. You also serve me well both in a born and inward manner." Alvaro's voice began to be tinged with vibrations.


"You never complained about it all. You are also tired of the lectures and tasks you have to do."


Tiara was getting confused and wondering. What's actually going on? and what about her husband?


"You're not angry even though I like to ask for help to get something or make something while you're busy doing the task. Even though I myself was able to dance and make my own. But you always give our best."


Although confused, but her husband's sentence successfully made her tears drip.


"I'm sorry, yank." Alvaro. I can't be a good husband yet. It is far from even a good word.


"I'm sorry I never helped you with anything about housekeeping. Sorry I couldn't understand you all this time. I know you are tired. I know you're busy. But I thought you were getting boring."


Tiara looked at her husband sharply as the 'boring' word came out.


"I'm sorry I felt so good. Abis you're busy going to college until I'm in cuekin. We rarely talk. Rarely have quality time except in bed. That's what you usually go to sleep."


Tiara's mouth grew increasingly agape. Feeling angry with the husband. "Alvarooo!" she shouted with a hand that directly hit her husband's upper arm.


"Yes sorry yank. That's why it's scary first." Alvaro tried to capture and again clasped his wife's hands.


"Honestly. I'm still in the same relationship with us. Relationships are getting more and more bland for me. Our communications can almost be said to never exist, right?"


Tiara bit her lower lip. He admitted that communication between them has become very lacking lately. They are both busy.


But Tiara thinks Alvaro doesn't mind all that. It is not just him who is busy. Alvaro was also busy with his work and thesis.


"But I'm not just busy! you are busy too! I thought you knew!" tiara said she could not bear to let out her heart.


"Yes I know. That's why I'm sorry. And I want us to fix all that. As long as the problem has not spread everywhere and is not too serious. While we're still able to fix."


Tiara sighed and leaned back her seat.


"You're not saying this because you're cheating on me anymore, are you?!"


"Bu-not that!" Alvaro felt overwhelmed. He's not cheating, is he? he was almost tempted.
