"So where are we going?" Aralia asked raised her tone.
Reven turned his head." Beach,"
"Ehh? At this hour?"
"Why? It's okay, right?"
Aralia shook her head, "Umm it's okay" she said, leaning her head against Reven's back. From the city they live the beach is not far, it only takes thirty minutes even if the streets are a little crowded. Reven spurred the rate of his motorbike to reach their goal.
Upon their arrival, Reven parked his motorcycle in the parking area available. "Here's the same helmet as your backpack, let me put it in daycare." Reven helps Aralia take off her helmet and her backpack.
Reven walked towards the visitors' post-custody and shortly afterwards ran a small approach to Aralia who was still waiting beside the Reven motorbike.
"Kaja ...," Reven embraces Aralia walking in search of a comfortable place. The girl chuckled at Reven using Korean.
"Why?" Reven's smile, pinching Aralia on the cheek.
"Reven. Stop pinching my cheek and my face gets wide." Aralia's protest pinched Reven's arm.
"Oh ..," Pekik Reven endured the pain, chasing after Aralia who had already run small to the shoreline.
There are not many visitors who come on vacation to the place, there are only a few people maybe because of the usual time and day. But this is the kind of place Aralia wants, it feels peaceful. Despite the scorching sun he could still feel the beach breeze caressing his skin. The sound of wind and small waves sounded simultaneously.
"Hey don't run ...." Reven catches Aralia's hand, pulls it to make the girl turn and hit Reven's body. Reven's single hand moved to lift Aralia's body and bring her around. The sound of crisp laughter was heard along with the pounding of the waves that were thrown towards the person.
"Stop! I was dizzy, Re ..." said Aralia, hugging the man's neck, his head slightly twitching. Reven slowly stopped spinning then lowered Aralia and carried the girl into his arms.
Aralia took a breath, wrapped her hands around Reven's neck, looking up at Reven who was watching him intently. Their eyes glared at each other and Reven slowly brought his face closer to kiss Aralia. That kiss would have been almost there if it wasn't for Reven's phone ringing.
Aralia let go of her hand, smiling awkwardly. While Reven cursed in the heart of a romantic scene that almost collapsed because of the .... As soon as he saw the name of the caller on his phone screen he did not curse.
"Grandmother," she told Reven before lifting him up.
"Hello nek," said Reven, extending his hand to Aralia. The girl welcomed, holding Reven walking on the beach.
"Alright, don't forget to eat your medicine. I love Grandma." After talking a little Reven ended the call.
"How are you?" ask Aralia.
"Who?" Reven stopped his steps while putting his phone back in his pants pocket.
"Your grandmother,"
"Oh ..., Good."
"But why take medicine?" Aralia asked, listening to the conversation between the granddaughter and grandmother earlier.
"Mmm ... grandma has a history of diabetes, so have to take regular medication." replied Reven, they went back to walking.
"Waoh ..," cried Aralia, as small waves crashing on their legs. Aralia tried to avoid getting her clothes wet.
"How do you like it?" reven asked, pulling Aralia closer to him.
"Mm.m ...,"
"Thank God,"
"Reven ..., why didn't you ever tell me about your family?"
"Nothing special about them is worth telling."
"Sure, every family has a sweet story."
"Should have been" Reven stopped, putting one hand in his pocket, while the other hand still held Aralia tight. The man's hue changes as Aralia discusses her family.
"Have not discussed my family, for which I have become lazy."
"I'm sorry ..," Lirih Aralia, looked at her lover.
"Ra, I'm not as lucky as you guys who have a whole family. My family was destroyed when I was five years old. Mom left in the afternoon. I don't know where I don't know and then Dad sent me to a neighbor's house to find Mom. I waited at the door until the owner of the house was angry because late at night I did not leave the door. That was the last day I saw Dad. To date I have not found them. And if I meet you I want to ask you why they left without me." Reven told me a little of his past.
"I'm so sad, Re."
"Don't. You don't have to be sad to hear it. I don't like."
"Re .. Everyone who hears your story will feel empathy,"
"That's why I'm lazy when someone asks." Reven took a long breath.
"I don't want them to love me." Said again.
"But you still have a grandmother, right?"
"The only family I have,"
"Which side?"
"Not from which side, Ra." said Reven, taking Aralia away from the beach to the coconut tree that was there. "I'm sure you'll cry to hear my story before I find my grandmother."
"So you're looking for him?"
"I was adopted by him, he .. lost his son and grandson in an accident while returning home from vacation."
Aralia wanted to say she was sympathetic again, but her lips were clenched. He was afraid that he would hurt Reven. Aralia was amazed, Reven was a powerful figure.
"I .. love you," Aralia finally said and kissed Reven's cheek. The man was shocked. Her heart's turbulent, this is the first time Aralia has done that. Although only on the cheek but it feels like it has made the man intoxicated in love.
Reven, smile, gently kiss Aralia's head. He feels calm and peaceful.
"Would you like to hear a song?" Reven pulled the earphones and cell phones out of the bag and connected the two objects.
"What song?"
"What's? I don't really follow the music world."
"Alright, listen to this." Reven attached one to Aralia and one to her.
The music starts to sound, strangely the song is 'Dance Monkey'. Aralia laughed, Reven took off his earphone and placed Aralia on the long bench under the coconut tree.
Reven aggressively sang the song complete with moves he created himself. Aralia chuckles and starts following the song.
Reven reached out his hand, pulling the girl closer. Putting her hands on Aralia's waist while Aralia placed both her hands on Reven's shoulders. The song seemed to be pounding without a loudspeaker. They dance while laughing. Happy until the afternoon starts picking up the night.
"What do you want to eat? Ready to serve or—,"
"Ready service, let's be fast." replied Aralia, the two couples still hold each other while queuing in front of the cashier who serves.
"120thousand there are still others?" Aralia took the ATM out of her wallet and gave it to the cashier but swiftly Reven took the card back and gave it his own. Aralia.
"Why?"
Reven shook his head, took their order and walked to the empty table.
"Re, I want to help. It's both our dates and ...,"
"Dear, it's okay. Look I don't mind if it's your money."
"It's my money, Re."
"Not but your husband's money."
Aralia fell silent, right the card belonged to Varga, the man who had no idea what he was doing now. Varga's shadow flashed a glance on his face and he immediately brushed it aside.
"Why don't you want to use it?" Aralia was still curious, wasn't that an opportunity for Reven. Spending money that is not money. He should have done that.
"I've taken his wife's heart and it would be cruel if I took the money too, right? That's not fair" Reven said, siphoning off his soft drinks.
Aralia slowly, chewed her food and saw that one hand was still in Reven's hand on the table.

"Dear dear, it's beautiful and fragrant here with Daddy." said Varga, after closing the car door, saw Bianca and her sister in front of the house.
Bianca looked cheerful, as soon as she changed hands on her Daddy. Pinched Varga and scrambled his Daddy's hair it made Bianca happy.
"Oh, yes sus ... Where's ara?" Varga watched the surroundings looking for his wife's whereabouts. Usually in the afternoon Aralia takes Bianca out of the house.
"Not yet to return home, sir." replied nurse Bianca following her old steps from behind while carrying Varga's briefcase.
Varga noticed his slick circular watch in his hand. Almost six o'clock in the afternoon.
Where's she?
Varga climbed the stairs walking to the room, putting Bianca to bed.
"See, sir" said the nurse.
"Oh .. Just put it on the couch." The nurse quickly put it down and was willing to take Bianca back.
"Sus, it's the same with me." Varga said while contacting Aralia from her phone.
"Da dy ..," said Bianca to play, tired of being in that small town.
"Wait baby, let's call Mami first, just ask to be picked up." Varga contacted him once more and there was no answer.
"Ara ... Where are you?" Varga scratched his forehead, staring at the balcony while loosening the tie that tied his neck.
"De ..di," Varga took Bianca and the car keys closed the door and went down the stairs. Open the car door and put Bianca inside.
"Where are you going?" Aralia asked. He had just come and seen Varga as well as Bianca.
"You're home yet? Why is it this late?" Varga asked, looking at Aralia who was a little messy like never before. The pants he was wearing were also half-knee alkaline and looked exhausted.
"Campus." replied Aralia, taking Binca and bringing her in.
"Ara ...," Aralia turned her head as she stood in front of the entrance of the house.
No, he wouldn't be honest better I just ask Hanry." It's okay, just come in." said Varga undo his intention.
Aralia frowned, back in.
Varga pulled out her phone and searched for a name there and contacted her.
"Professor Harry, how are you?"
"Hey old friend, you've just met now?" The voice from across sounded friendly.
"I'm sorry I rarely join, my wife was she ...,"
"Oh, he didn't enter the course I taught earlier. Do you have any events?"
Varga closed her eyes, recalling Aralia's recent reply. 'Campus' and it's just a lie.
"When did we meet? Let's have an occasional show."
"Ha ha ha .. You're away from married friends, too busy with family or sister-in-law uh your wife is possessive."
"Stop teasing me. All right set the plan and let me know."
"OK." The phone disconnected.
Varga took a deep breath, leaning her body into the car. What he had to do at the moment, how was his attitude to deal with Aralia.
Almost a year together, he waited and wished his wife an open heart but now all he could do was betrayal though it was still gray.
