I'm Not/Only a Shadow
Alyla's Dream

Adam sat in the Barr hotel chair accompanied by Leo, Adam rubbing his face rough.

"Why don't you just ask the reason for that?" Leo grumbled as he was about to rest Adam contacted him to accompany him to a drink, only to drink coffee because Adam did not like alcohol, strange not to drink coffee at the bar, but what care Adam.

Adam said Alyla refused to touch him because there was no love between them. "You said she cried?" Adam nodded. "Or was she traumatized, maybe she had a bad event, like being harassed?" Leo smothered his mouth because the words just appeared.

Adam froze.. could it be?, Adam immediately stood up from his seat "Sir you?"

"You're right Leo I should have asked him directly, how could I have left him alone" Adam immediately went to meet Alyla the guilt appeared again, maybe it was all because of his mistakes in the past.

Alyla had stopped crying her eyes had swollen even she was exhausted so she did not feel herself asleep.

Adam entered the room and squatted down beside Alyla who was asleep in the chair curled up like a fetus, in his eyes still visible the rest of the tears, the rest of the tears,adam's hand was raised and then swiped behind Alyla's neck and thigh to move her up to the bed, he laid Alyla on Azka's side who almost controlled the entire bed because of her messy sleeping position.

Adam looked at Alyla's tired look and stretched out his hand to wipe the rest of his tears, what he had done was not even a day Alyla became his wife, but Adam had made him cry, Adam had made him cry,he should not be selfish, just because he can not muffle his lust Adam snapped Alyla.

Adam still has not moved he is still looking at the look of his wife, suddenly Adam's forehead wrinkled to see the wife look restless in his sleep. did Alyla have a bad dream?.

"No no, please" Alyla was delirious, a cold sweat had even filled her forehead.

"Don't beg you" Alyla was still delirious.

Adam tried to wake Alyla by shaking her shoulder,

"Don't please, don't I'm not Aluna"

Adam's hand still holding Alyla's shoulder froze.

"Please .. sorry, please don't do it?"

"That hurts, please stop.." Suddenly Alyla's eyes opened, her breath hunting, her heart pounding, while Adam was still frozen in place.

After trying to normalize her heartbeat Alyla looked at Adam "Mas Adam?, when to go home?, sorry did I wake you up?"

Adam still stood there without answering Alyla's question, so Alyla thought Adam might still be angry, Alyla went to perform the evening prayer hoping to calm her heart that she did every nightmare that came.

Adam blocks Alyla's hand from going through "Where are you going?"

"I want to pray mas, why aren't we sleeping?"

"What?"

"Whatis that? what dream, what dream?" Adam's tongue feels stuck, Adam hopes the dream is not about him, Adam does not want to be in Alyla's nightmare.

Alyla sighed "Later on I want to pray first, or tomorrow I just have to rest"

"No, I'll wait" Alyla nodded, sooner or later she had to tell me this because maybe this would happen every night and it would annoy Adam.

Finished with his prayer Alyla approached Adam, who was still waiting, even there were two cups of warm tea on the table.

"You sure want to hear" Adam didn't answer just looking at Alyla seriously.

Alyla breathes deeply, seeking the strength to begin."Since that incident I always dreamed, the same dream every night, the pain even accompanied me in the dream, strangely I always woke up at the same time when I was gone that time"

"And so, sorry, I tried to hold it, but it sounded like it was buzzing in my ear, when you cursed, and when ******* ******* you who murmured Aluna's name" Aluna's breath began to melt tears had returned to drip "I don't know, but it hurt me, really, the memory of me being Aluna's shadow really destroyed me,I just don't want it to happen again"

Adam dropped his knee in front of Alyla "Mas?"

"I. that.. Sorry, I'm sorry I'm Alyla." Adam said it with a broken break"It shouldn't have happened, I wish I could atone for all my sins, sorry" he said more and more hoarse, his voice already muffled by the crying, the crying of regret. An Adam sadewo the only heir to a sadewo family kneels before Alyla, bowing in regret for his past mistakes.

Alyla holds Adam's shoulder "Don't be like this mas, wake up"

Adam shook his head "I shouldn't have done this since I knew I did it to you, not to Aluna, but I'm hurting you even more"

"Wake up, we're talking while sitting right, don't be like this"

Adam hugged Alyla's knees in the sofa "Sorry.I'm sorry!"

"I've tried my dads I forgive you, really" Alyla rubbed Adam's shoulders gently, Alyla even hugged while occasionally rubbing Adam's hair. Long time they were in that position, until the sound of the morning Adhan sounded,and I don't know who moved first now they are in a sleeping couch hugging each other.

Adam woke up first and looked at his arms as Alyla was still sleeping quietly, Adam rubbed Alyla's cheek "From today there will be only happiness for you, I promise" said Adam,then kiss Alyla's old hair.
