I'm Not an Old Virgin
Chapters 26.8
"It's so young" He didn't have time to feel how sweet it was to fall in love with someone so close.
She had experienced falling in love yet it was with someone far away, so for that sense she had to wait in silence.
Whether it was Aldo or Ali, Safira liked him silently and kept waiting despite the distance separating.
And Qadarullah, from both Allah gave the best of the best. Which is able to compensate for his doubts and stubborn nature.
Ali managed to do all that.
"Not really, brother. Sifa was jealous of Sis Safira because Mas Ali glorified Brother. Sifa saw all the seriousness of Mas Ali for Kak Safira since many years ago so Sifa thought any woman would be jealous to see Kak Safira reunited with Mas Ali. Sometimes Sifa wondered if there was a second Mas Ali in this world? Mas Ali who would accept all the shortcomings of Kak Safira, admired the advantages of Kak Safira, fought for Kak Safira secretly, making Kak Safira's heart melt with a soft speech, he said, his knowledge is abundant and not stingy to share, a good leader for everyone and always clinging to religion. Is Mas Ali second in the world? If there was any Sifa who would very much like to be met with him." Sifa said pouring out her heart.
If Ali was not his biological brother, perhaps Sifa's fate would be the same as the women who loved Ali stubbornly. They would do anything to get Ali not even shy about being the second person in the Ali and Sapphira household.
This love is two-faced, sometimes sweet love for the soul but also sometimes toxic to the soul. When you feel the poison, the affected person will find it difficult to escape.
"Dek, they will not be Mas Ali because there is only one Mas Ali in this world. Yet they can surpass Mas Ali in their own way and nature. God is fair, deck. He could not have created His servants with a lack, sure."
Sifa gave her smile understanding. The more he talked to Safira the more he liked her. He will definitely get new knowledge when talking to Safira, whether it's about a partner, a job, school problems or whatever. Safira has always been the best tutor for him.
"Udah is done," Sapphira collected all the dirty tissue sheets in her hands. Put it in an empty plastic bag near the tissue and tie it to prevent children from touching it.
"Want not to come with Mommy to meet someone?"
Ai who had been listening to Safira and Sifa finally had room to speak.
"Where, Mother?" He looks happy.
Safira smiled, "To the living room. There was someone who was eager to meet Ai. He said he misses seeing Ai." Sapphira answered with a made-up voice.
Ai got excited and started to get nervous.
"Did he know Ai?" Are those his classmates?
Safira nodded her head in spirit."He-ah, no. They know Ai well. They even have photos of Ai when she was the age of the twins. Mother has seen it and Ai looks so cute!"
"Eh seriously? Sifa also wants to see dong, brother." Sifa was curious to see Ai's beautiful face when she was a child.
Because, now the face of this child looks very beautiful and has a sweet aura. People will find it hard to realize that he has an advantage.
Sifa alone was honestly a bit jealous because Ai looked so beautiful! Her innocent eyes were her biggest attraction. Ai has clear peach eyes and long eyelashes. She.. ah, Sifa can't say anything!
"Sifa will follow Brother to the living room. Kids let-"
"Darling?" Call me soft Ali cut off the next speech.
He thought it was better to bring all the children into the living room so that his heart would be calmer.
"Good idea!"
...🍚🍚🍚...
When they entered, the two old eyes of Pak Daman and Bu Santi could not escape from the faces of the beautiful children who were in the arms of the host. Even the old eyes were even more glued when they saw the gentle face of Ai who was now looking at them curiously.
"Non..Ai?" Mr. Daman stood up immediately.
He's awkward on the spot. He wanted to come to Ai immediately but he hesitated when he saw Ai's reaction that looked frightened and uncomfortable.
"Let Mother take Rumaisha." Mother stood up from her seat and took Rumaisha from Sapphira's embrace.
"Thank you, Mother." He said while giving Rumaisha to Mommy.
After that he could focus on taking care of Ai. Since this was the first meeting after so long apart, Safira thought Ai would be a little difficult to become familiar with Pak Daman and Bu Santi.
"Ai, don't be afraid. They are Grandpa and Grandma who took care of Ai when she was a child. They are very good people, they also love Ai just like Mother, Father, and the others."
Ai was stunned, her clear peach eyes once again staring at Mr. Daman carefully. He looked at the old face, although it was already middle-aged but the wrinkles that formed on his face were more due to difficult life experiences and not due to the increasing age.
For a moment, he felt familiar with that gaze. It was as if he had experienced days where warm feelings were easy to get, abundant in his life.
But when?
He doesn't remember.
"Ai want to say hello to Grandpa and Grandma?" Safira saw that Ai did not seem to refuse.
Shut up, everyone waited for Ai's reaction nervously. They thought Ai would refuse but unexpectedly Ai ended up nodding her head willingly.
"Alhamdulillah.." All breathing is relieved.
Ai crept strong Safira's hand. Walking lightly approached Pak Daman and Bu Santi who were now giving him a warm look.
"Non Ai.." Mr. Daman sat on his knees on the floor. His old hand to shake.
"Come, son, greetings to Grandpa." Persuade Sapphira with a soft voice typical of a mother.
Ai took her hand off Sapphira. Then hesitantly extended his hand to touch the old hand of Mr. Daman.
It's rough but there's a trace of warmth in it. Ai seemed to be drawn into a memory she had never seen before. The sound of someone's crisp laughter..
"Our kids are big.." Warm voice of someone.
"Rein, Ai's eyes are yours.." It was a very soft but rather heavy male voice.
"But his nose and lips belong to Mas Davin.." This is a very soft voice.the voice that always accompanies him into the dream world.
These voices though vague reminded Ai of the two figures she had always longed for in the cold nights.
He misses her so much that he begins to keep the meetings of their faces into the deepest memory, preventing anyone from taking these memories from her.
"Don...." Slowly a warm liquid one after another came out from the corner of his eyes.
