..."Love is a disease, the person he lives in never wants to be healed."...

..._Jalaluddin Rumi's...

Tonight, the girl with a black abaya with wet unraveling hair was sitting in front of the dressing table holding a comb in her right hand. His gaze was nimble, occasionally he smiled to himself. Right, that pseudo still looks obvious. Ah, if remembered, Aida felt ashamed. But why be ashamed?

Aida breathed a long breath. He combed his hair again, dried it and then tied it up. From the glint of the big glass before him, Netra Aida stripped down to all directions. Just in case, who knew the handsome man suddenly stood right in the doorway watching him. Really, this time she was not ready to see her husband. Was it because of something a few hours ago?

The strange thump either from his heart or heart still remained the same. By heart, he didn't know until now. His status had changed to a wife. However, sometimes far from the bottom of his heart still stuck Kenzo name. That feeling will probably never go away even if he gets a better surrogate man than Kenzo. If asked, does Aida love Gus Bima? Yes, even that feeling is growing and developing.

"Dad." Aida was aghast until the comb she was holding fell off. That sound? Why did the baritone sound always make his heart feel like it was being hit by a large wooden branch?

The girl chanted the istighfar, from the reflection of the mirror she could see the man wearing the plaid sheath standing right in the doorway. He immediately shifted his attention to look at the husband, since when did the man stand there?

"Mas Bima, since you-when here?" The girl forgot something. Do you guys know?

Aida rounded her perfect eyes when she found her husband walking closer, even just a few steps away from her. What made that innocent girl freeze was not that. However, she only realized that she was not in a position to wear a hijab. Yeah, how could he forget. Twenty minutes ago he just finished shampooing. It's natural that his hair is broken, right?

Aida reverses. It's a confusion looking for a pashmina or an instant veil around it, but nil. Why in a situation like this? Supposedly before drying the hair, Aida took the hijab first so that if a situation like this occurs she is not confused looking.

Heart's ketar-ketir. Aih, how could she not be aware of her husband's presence? Ah, because he entered without knocking on the door and without making a sound. But could he not see Gus Bima from the reflection of the mirror before him? It's okay, it's the first time Gus Bima has seen Aida without a veil. The more she remembered it made Aida even more embarrassed

The man walked closer towards her. The more Gus Bima approached, the more the thump beat exceeded its normal threshold. "No, Aida. You don't have to cover it up."

Freeze. His eyes did not blink. When the hand began to reveal the veil from Aida's head, she could only stare at her husband's handsome face from the reflection of the mirror. Don't ask the situation now, which must be a little mouth agape with a red sponge blushing on his cheek like a boiled crab.

"Have you forgotten?" tanyanya hugged tightly to his wife's small waist. Like being electrocuted in broad daylight. Aida closed her eyes, a strange gallon spreading through every inch of her veins. His chest felt tight unable to breathe. Grunts from the nose of Gus Bima he can feel, sweeping the cheek skin that is now blushing it. God, until when? I think Aida is fainting.

Aida took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Yes, the girl tried to neutralize the heart thump that had not been silent. Slowly, with the basmalah in his heart, the girl ventured open her eyes. Along the way he closed his eyes, bad prejudice perched in his heart. O Rabb, is that really her husband, Gus Bima?

"Why is it that every time I try to be nice to you, you always close Aida's eyes?"

He began to drop his palms. Drop by drop along with his feelings. How'this? Will he lie to his own feelings?

Does he love Kenzo? If Aida was asked to answer truthfully, she would nod her head. But does it hurt her husband's feelings? That girl is not as good as you think. It is difficult, but Aida is trying to come to terms with the situation.

"Aida loves Mas Bima. However, if asked ... do I still put my heart to Kenzo? Then I'll answer yes." Telak. Like a million boulders. Be ill. Her chest feels tight. Should she cry?

"I'm sorry, Mas Bima, but Aida can't lie to myself. That love is still alive. Not changed." Gus Bima smiled wryly. No more precisely the man forced to keep looking fine in front of his wife. As much as possible the man blocked his tears, although the net began to glaze over, covering some of his attention made his vision blurry.

Aida quickly grabbed and kissed Gus Bima's palm. "Aida's sorry, Mas. I can't be a good wife to you yet." He was stunned, sobbing and drowned part of his face on the sidelines of the palm of Gus Bima.

The man clutched tightly onto his wife's tiny body, carrying Aida in his warm arms. They cry for each other. However, the difference is that Gus Bima provides more support to Aida. His heart is now very broken, as it is slashed by thousands of hours. His world is broken now. His love clapped one hand, unrequited.

There is nothing wrong with their marriage. Given that Gus Bima and Aida betrothed his parents. So did the white-faced girl, she just obeyed what her parents said. Aida doesn't want to be considered a child. Did any of you blame Aida?

He is not wrong, Aida has tried her best to love Gus Bima. However, perhaps it was not yet time that the seed of love was anchored in his heart.

"It's okay, Aida. I sincerely release you if Kenzo someday is ready to engage you." Aida tightened the embrace, some of the clothes on Gus Bima's shoulder were wet because of Aida's clear liquid. Weight. After a long time of stringing up sentences, the man finally expressed it as well. Smooth, but with a little hoarse voice due to stuck in the throat.

Gus Bima loosened his embrace and brought the puffy-faced girl to stare at her net back. However, Aida was powerless even to look up a little. "Stop that cry, Aida. Have you forgotten my words?"

Gus Bima wiped away the tear marks on half of Aida's face. Silent. There was no answer, the girl just nodded weakly. "I don't want our hard-earned paradise to move into your eyes, Aida, just because of a single tear."

"If I knew .. that paradise you no longer miss."

Seriate....
