Sincerity of Heart 2
Chapter 26. Land of Rencong (Ara)

I blinked my eyes when I felt my cheeks being patted a few times. I raised my head slowly. Uh, my neck hurts a lot.

"We're here" my husband said. I smiled and nodded. I see everyone is still waiting to get out.

"Alan, Ara's neck hurts a lot." I said while touching my veil-blocked neck.

"After it will disappear, you sleep like a buffalo" he said which managed to upset me. Then my gaze was fixed on the middle-aged man sitting next to Alan looking at me.

"Your wife is very funny, so remember my son" said the man. I looked at Alan confusedly.

"This is Mr. Aji" Alan said. I smiled and held both my hands together.

"Ara." I said. The man named Mr. Aji smiled and nodded.

"Alan, we went to Haikal's uncle's house first, right? Ara kangen them." I asked while holding Alan's hand.

"It's a tadpole" said Alan pinching my nose. I smiled happily. I haven't seen them in almost a year. I hope they are okay there. Uncle didn't come home at my wedding, because he was on duty. Remember, a doctor is busy. I also cursed him.

Now we're off the plane to the pick-up point. Fortunately, the airport is not as wide as Soetta airport.

"Uncle is waiting for us in front" said Alan. I'm so surprised to be mixed up happy. We also went straight out.

"Sister Ara." shouted someone. I know that voice very well. Right, it's Rizka. He waved his hand. I smiled and ran a little towards him.

"Rize! Oh my goodness." I hugged him right away.

"Rizka also misses sister." she hugged me tightly.

"With me no miss?" ask someone. Who else if not the prankster Rizki. Yes, they are twins. Teuku Rizki Al - Farizzi and Cut Rizka Ar - Syila. A beautiful name, no. Just like them, the beautiful and the handsome.

"Lost too, let alone the same ignorance you." I also hugged him. Then I saw Uncle Haikal. He's looking at me.

"Ra, healthy?" greet my uncle. I nodded and hugged him.

"Huh, it's still spoiled. I have a husband too." said uncle stroking my head.

"Mother and papa you're healthy right?" I nodded back.

"Hey Lan, first play to Aceh. Hope you enjoy the atmosphere here. It's hot" said uncle. Alan kissed uncle's hand.

"Yes uncle, Alan hopes to be at home here" said Alan. I smiled hearing that. Then we went straight into the car. The temperature here is very hot. Especially this by noon.

"Sister Ra, Rizka promise me. He will take his brother around the city of Banda Aceh. We're going to visit historical places here. There is a Tsunami Museum, Aceh House, Floating Ship and most importantly the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque. We'll play at sea, right? Oh, is that old brother, right here?" oceh Rizka with her hands not out of my hands. I'm so happy to see them again.

"For a long time, it's only been a week" I looked at Alan who was chatting with uncle in front. Yeah, that's exactly when I'm flanked by the twins.

"Oh, can dong take a walk first. Don't tell me you're just here for a honeymoon?" tanyakanya. I just shook my head.

"Cie, her cheeks are so red." said Rizka while menoel my cheeks. I puffed my cheeks in annoyance.

"Don't bother my brother, he's a kid. So I won't know what a honeymoon is." Rizki's chiming pisses me off.

"Just kid, you're the little ones. Little boy do you know what a turnip is?" I said very upset.

"Already, don't bother your brother. If he sulks, keep asking to go home will be a hassle." said uncle follow mocking me.

"Alan, bear dong" my whine won't take it in the corner.

"Well, now the story already has a defender" said Rizki nudged my shoulder. I hit his arm too.

"Sir, my goodness" he said with a laugh.

"Sir Alan, how do you want to marry a child?" ask Rizka. It seems like now I will become a bullian material.

"Ok, it's up to you. I don't hear." I said, closing my ears. I looked at Alan through the mirror for help. Alan smiled and shook his head. Ck, why is Alan also following me anyway.

"Don't sulk dong, here I hug" said Rizka hugging me. I'm still pretending to sulk.

"There's a condition!" I said while crossing my arms.

"Terms, what is it?" asked Rizka still faithfully hugging me. I smiled and started to look for ideas.

"Ah, tomorrow you have to cook the most delicious dishes. There is no rejection." I said smiling ignorantly. Wherever Rizka might want, she is the most anti with the name of the kitchen. Yeah, even though I can't cook.

"Ah, if the threat is so easy for him brother. He is now a cook. Tell him to climb a coconut tree, it will definitely be rejected." said Rizki. I laughed hearing that. But wait, did he say. Rizka can cook? Well, I missed it as far as it seems.

"Ih kiki, don't mess around" said Rizka staring at Rizki sharply.

"Sorry deh kaka." said Rizki smiling ignorantly. I can only laugh seeing it.

"When can you cook?" I looked at Rizka. Look, he's already started putting on his arrogant face.

"Since I was born, I was destined to be good at everything. So just a little learning, it's definitely directly good." he said so confident.

"Uncle, did little uncle fit in like them? Arrogant." I said.

"Yes, eleven twelve." said the uncle, who was greeted with laughter by everyone.

"Stop Alan! Don't laugh, if you laugh Ara won't talk." I said pinching her arm. Alan grimaced in pain. Gratitude.

"That don't be fierce dong same husband. Soft little napa. 'Alan baby, don't laugh. Ara kasih kiss loh'. It's delicious." said Rizki. I heard him become amused myself.

"That little boy, don't be pretentious." I said with annoyance.

"We've grown up a lot of times, it's still a little girl" they said at the same time.

'God, it would be crazy to stay with them.'

Arriving at home, I immediately ran and fell into the clumsiness of Aunt Syila who was waiting for us in front of the house.

"Ara also misses aunty." I said.

"Where? Is there any good news?" ask aunt Syila. I took off my hug and looked at him confused.

"Here, isn't there yet?" ask the aunt again while touching my stomach. Ah, I understand now. I looked back. They're getting closer.

"Still in the process." I whispered. Aunt laughed at my words. Hihi, it's true. Still in process. Hopefully Alan will provide certainty soon. I can't wait to become pregnant too. What does it feel like?

"Eh, how dumb. Come on in, you must be hungry." said aunt pulled me inside.

"Know aunty mah." I said. I put my bag on the couch and followed my aunt into the kitchen.

"What cooking is it, so fragrant tan?" ask me to research some of the dishes that are on the dining table. There are some dishes I have never seen.

"There is spicy beef acid, if people here say 'keueng acid', there is keumamah (wood fish) and many others" said aunty so excited. The aroma of cooking began to seep into my nose.

"Hmmm... I can't wait to eat." I said pulling the chair. I missed one dish at a time.

"Well, stand by the kids. Are you looking for aceh cuisine?" asked uncle sitting on the main bench.

"Don't get me wrong uncle, Ara's an all-eater. So everyone can come in. That's why it's not hard for Alan to feed him." Alan said sitting next to me. I can only smile. It's true, I'm not the picky type of food. So everyone can come in. Except for the one that smells of milk.

"But this doesn't like it" I said, pointing at the teapot with milk. Just imagine I'm sick.

"Dairy milk is healthy. If pregnant, you will have to drink." said aunt. Ish, why did everyone talk about getting pregnant? I looked at Alan next to me. I could see Alan just pretending not to hear. That's so bad of him.

"Yes, let's eat" said the uncle. We also ate very quietly.

***

"How about, like it here? Do you want to go home?" alan asked when we were in the room.

"Wherever Ara likes it, just as there's Alan" I said holding her.

"Hmmm... Yeah, take a shower. After that we pray." said Alan peeked at my head. I nodded and headed straight for the bathroom.

After finishing the prayer, I immediately dropped my body on the bed. I'm so tired.

"Rest, in the afternoon we will take a walk" said Alan sitting next to me.

"Where?" I asked to get back up.

"Don't know, uncle will take us around for a while" said Alan. Uh, he's the one lying down.

"Hmmm... It must be exciting." I said lying in Alan's arms. I put my head on his chest. Alan's heart sounds so clear.

"Kok Alan's heartbeat really tight anyway?" I asked while looking at his face.

"Because of you, my heart beats faster" Alan closed his eyes. I played Alan's chin with my finger.

"Ara's heart also always beats fast when we're this close. Is everyone like that too?" ask again. Alan opened his eyes again.

"I don't know, because I've never been this close to anyone else" Alan said. I smiled shyly. Obviously I was the first woman so close to her, I was Alan's wife.

"Ara wants us to stay like this." I said, sinking my face in her chest. Alan's heartbeat sounds like music. Sounds very sweet. I really like it.

"Alan." call me when I don't hear her voice anymore.

"Hmmm.

"Alan, Ara wants to ask you something. But don't be angry." I hugged him tightly.

"What's that?" tanyanya rubbed my head.

"Em, does Alan want to have a child with Ara?" I asked while biting my lips. I'm so scared that Alan's gonna be mad again. I felt Alan start to move. I raised my head. I looked at his face to wait for an answer.

"Ara." call her. I nodded while continuing to look at him.

"You're my wife, so I definitely want to have a child with you. Who do you think I want to have a child with?" ask her while pinching both of my cheeks.

"Then let's make a child. Ara is ready." I said confidently. But I was very surprised to get a toyoran from Alan.

"Bas stupid, you think it's that easy. Are you really ready? Cobak remember the biology lesson again, you as a woman have to bear anything?" he said get off the bed. What indeed? If you want to have children, just sleep. I was not focused when I studied biology. Ih, why did Alan even give me about the exam anyway?

"Alan, is it hard?" I stared at Alan's back.

"Everything if biology lessons are clearly shaken. Don't fantasize." said Alan again sitting next to me. Hah, how Alan can know I often fantasize when studying biology. Never mind Alan used to pay attention to me again. Huaaaaa... Glad to watch Alan. Why did I never realize it?

"Cie, so Alan's been watching Ara? How can Ara not know?" ask me while smiling happily.

"Because you are insensitive" he said back lying down. I turned my sleeping position into a stomach. Both hands are useful for supporting my chin. I stared at Alan's face. What a perfect creation, God, you created such a beautiful nose and eyes. Such a perfect sculpture, with such a firm jaw.

"Hey, why are you looking at me like that?" my daydreams are gone for a moment.

"Enjoying God's perfect creation. Ara is very grateful to be able to get a handsome and good husband like Alan. Ara can continue to be spoiled, can play Alan continues. Anyway Ara is happy." I said with a smile. I saw Alan smiling at me. Then he patted his chest. I looked at him confused.

"Sleep again here" he said, with passion I obey Alan's wishes. I also really like sleeping on Alan's chest. Besides being warm, it also makes me sleep fast. Alan hugged me and kissed my head a few times.

"I'm also very lucky and grateful to be able to get a beautiful and smart wife like you. Even more money" he said. I pull my hand next to it and I put it on my cheek.

"Alan, say I love you." I asked. I want to hear it again.

"I love you my wife" he said, which made my heart beat faster.

"Again." I asked again. It was with great pleasure that Alan said it. I'm so happy that Alan wants to follow my wishes. I asked Alan to keep saying that until I actually fell asleep.
