I Found Love With You
118. Happy Together

“Aa must promise will no longer leave Iyah. Aa has to promise that Aa will no longer love another woman. Aa must promise that Aa will be together with Iyah forever.”

“Sorry, Aa can't promise that Aa won't love another woman.”

Sadiyah let go of her embrace and looked at Kagendra with her sharp gaze.

“What does Aa mean?” Sadiyah asked with a tone of voice that rose by several octaves.

“Not only you women will love Aa.” Kagendra held Sadiyah's hand.

After listening to what Kagendra said, Sadiyah tried to let go of Kagendra's handrails.

“Means Aa. The other women Aa loved besides you were Mother, Lena and our daughters later. Lagian Aa once told me about loving another woman. How are you still angry? You forget that Aa once said that the other women that Aa would love were our daughters?” Kagendra laughed as he could not bear to see Sadiyah's fierce face.

“Aa nyebelin. Iyah does not remember Aa ever said that.” Sadiyah face blushed because so easily she burned jealous. “I mean that, Aa can't love another woman like Natasha or that cungkring model.”

“If the woman is not Natasha or Grace, can it not?” kagendra Goda.

Sadiyah pinched Kagendra's arm hard.

“If Aa dares to love or relate to obscure women like Natasha or the Grace, Iyah will never forgive Aa again. Iyah will go far with Aras and Aris. Very far until Aa will never again be able to see us.”

“Don't be so dong, Honey. Insha Allah, Aa promise only you will be the only woman Aa. Don't ever leave Aa again. Aa's life is languishing because you live.” Kagendra clasped Sadiyah's hand.

“Iih gombal..” Sadiyah pinched Kagendra's arm in anxiety. “Oh yes, one more. Aa must not mention the names of women in Aa's past. Iyah did not want to hear the names of the women.”

“Hmm.. your wish is my command my queen.”

A smile rose on Sadiyah's face after hearing Kagendra's statement.

“Awas if Aa broke Aa.”'s promise

“God will not. After all, before you were present in Aa's life, there was only one female name. Aa is not a playboy like most men. Aa is the type of man who is loyal to a partner. Although you are not the first woman that Aa loves, but you will be the last and only woman that Aa will love.”

“Mother and Lena? Aa doesn't love them, huh?”

“You know, it's hard to understand it anyway. His love Aa for Mother, Lena and our daughters is different dong same love Aa same you. Aa's love is the love of a child to mother, brother to sister, and father to child. But Aa's love for you is a man's love for a woman. Time doesn't understand? You're testing Aa, huh?” Kagendra turned her face away from her annoyance.

Sadiyah laughed at her sulking husband. Just this time he saw Kagendra's other attitude than usual. “Aa angry?”

“Who is angry?” kagendra ketus.

“That's angry. If not angry, the sound period is so thin?”

“Aa not angry but upset.”

“Same. Upset and angry are brothers.” Sadiyah again giggled at Kagendra's annoyance.

“Why are you laughing? You think this is funny?” Aa is not a comedian.” Kagendra's frustration peaked after a day yesterday left Sadiyah, today his wife again made a tantrum by doubting her love.

“Do not get angry. If Aa's face like this becomes more handsome. If funny and handsome like this, Iyah will never be able to separate from Aa.” again Sadiyah cupped Kagendra's face. Her eyes focused on her husband's face. “Daddy love and pity altogether Aa. So don't pout. Her lips pulled like this” Sadiyah pulled Kagendra's lips to the right and left.

Cup.. Sadiyah kissed Kagendra's lips at a glance.

“Face Aa funny.” Sadiyah still stretched Kagendra's lips.

Both of Kagendra's hands held Sadiyah's.

“I, Kagendra Kamandaka Nataprawira love you, Sadiyah Galuh Kartasasmita. I found love with you.” Kagendra declares his love.

Kagendra cupped Sadiyah's face with both hands and brought her lips closer to Sadiyah's. “Never doubt Aa's love for you.” whispered Kagendra before she returned to her lips. After the two lips met, they expressed their longing for six years by feeling each other. They do not let go of what they are enjoying until someone opens the door and gasps while covering their mouth with their hands.

Joseph's two hands were busy closing Faras and Faris' eyes while Indriani blocked Faras and Faris's view of the activities being carried out by his father and mother.

“Endra..Iyah..” cried Indriani who surprised Kagendra and Sadiyah.

Reflex, Sadiyah pushed Kagendra's chest and removed her lip link from Kagendra's lips.

“That's you.. if you want it don't be here, later if it's at home.” Indriani scolded while holding his laughter as hard as he could.

“Sorry, Ms.” great-granddaughter Sadiyah while bowing her head deeply. Her face was flushed red like a boiled crab because her in-laws caught intimate activities carried out by her and Kagendra.

“Ah Mother, why come here? Just interrupt.” protest Kagendra.

Indriani clings to Kagendra's head in annoyance.

“Mother here bring Aras and Aris. They miss you. This is even you want to make out the same Iyah.”

“Kan Iyah his wife Aa, Mom. No problem dong if we kiss...”.

“Aa...” Sadiyah shouted while covering Kagendra's mouth with her hands.

Faras and Faris try to let go of his grandfather's hand that covers their eyes.

After Joseph's hand was removed, Faras and Faris rushed straight to Kagendra.

“Daddy.....” cried Faras and Faris.

Faras and Faris climb onto Kagendra's bed.

“Daddy is healthy?” ask Faras.

“Hmmm Kagendra nodded his head.

“Dad, when will he get home? We will play together again.” Faris asked cheerfully.

“Aras..Aris... don't jump around like that. Poor dad's still sick. If you guys jump in and get hurt, Dad. Quick down.” Sadiyah ordered Faras and Faris to get out of Kagendra's bed.

“Sepentar atuh Bu.. Aris will still miss the same Father.” suluk Faris.

Faras and Faris had already positioned themselves to lie on Kagendra's right and left sides. Faras lay to the right of Kagendra while Faris lay to the left of Kagendra. They lay down while hugging Kagendra.

“Aras...Aris..” call Sadiyah in a rather high tone.

“Leave it. They didn't hit his wound.” Kagendra kisses the top of the head and hugs Faras and Faris affectionately.

Indriani and Joseph who saw the scene before them shed tears. They did not expect that their sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren would be happily gathered together.

Joseph grabbed Indriani's shoulder while Indriani hugged Joseph's arm and laid his head on her husband's chest.

“Mom never imagined if our son would be happy like this, Bah.”

Joseph nodded his head and rubbed his hands on his wife's back.
