Three days have passed. I feel like time is turning so fast, I still want to stay here for a long time. Only alone with my husband to enjoy the beauty of the Divine creation.
"Sister, Rizka wants to come. But papa won't allow it," Rizka's whine kept sagging in my arm. I smiled and rubbed his head covered in a veil.
"So, don't be spoiled. We are still at school, during the holidays will also definitely go home there," said Rizki crossed her hands while staring at the clingy sister.
"Kiki don't bother, let kaka indulge with Ra's brother. We will not meet for long. Why just for a second?" whinek Rizka again. But this time I heard him sobbing.
"Hey, don't cry. We can meet again sometime. Don't cry, it's big too" I said, wiping away her tears.
"Ck, Rizka will learn from sister. Brother is very spoiled and crybaby. But many love big brother," he said. I felt slapped hearing his words. I saw Alan and Rizki laughing instead.
"Don't laugh, not funny!" myrag. I pursed my lips in annoyance.
"You too, I think sincere. It turns out to be mocking." My scolding let go of Rizka's hand in annoyance.
"Huaa.... Papa look, brother Ra is evil. He no longer wants to be friends with Kaka,"
I rounded my eyes in disbelief with Rizka's attitude.
"Of course, you guys are. It's enough to prank your brother," said aunt Syila. Ah, it's nice that aunt is on my side. I hugged my aunt tightly.
"Dear, send greetings to the family there. Especially for your mother and your mama Alan, greetings from aunty," said aunty. I nodded while looking at Alan.
"God's insha tan, will Alan convey," said Alan.
We are currently at Sultan Iskandar Muda airport to return to Jakarta. It's been quite a vacation for me and Alan. We still have a big responsibility. Alan also had to prepare for his trial in a few days.
"Allen, congratulations. Good luck," said uncle patting Alan on the shoulder.
"Thank you uncle, pray everything smoothly" he said with a sweet smile. I'm smiling too.
"Aamiin, we're always here to wish you all the best. Ara, quickly give happy news," said uncle.
"Ara is still a long time uncle. Most likely next year, Ara also has not interned," I said.
"Dear, that's not what it means. But this good news," said aunty whispering slightly while touching my stomach. Hah, so I was wrong. How stupid of me. My cheeks feel very hot. I'm so embarrassed.
"Tante," whine. Then they laughed immediately. I looked at Alan. He just smiled as he kept looking at me. I'm looking down embarrassed. His gaze again reminded me of the sweet memories we had left on the island of Sabang.

"Tired?" alan asked when we were in Jakarta. We are still on our way home.
"Slightly," I replied as I resuscitated my head on her shoulder.
"Sleep for a while" said Alan rubbing my head.
"Hubby, is hubby happy?" ask me without looking at him. I closed my eyes slowly.
"If you're happy, that means I'm happy too, baby. What you feel, then that's how I feel." Alan shook my hand and kissed it gently. I smiled and closed my body.
"Hubby, Ara wishes we had stayed like this. There will be no farewell. Ara can't be far from hubby" I said. I opened my eyes.
"Hubby know? Ara was very scared. Afraid that hubby would leave, Ara didn't want that to happen." I hugged her hand tightly. I got Alan kissing my head so deeply.
"Don't think anything weird, I'll stay here" he said, continuing to kiss my head.
"Ara happy, thank you." I said, closing my eyes.
"Thank you, baby" said Alan, resuscitating his chin in my head. Unaware I began to sleep.
"Darling, darling.. Wake up.. "
I opened my eyes many times. Why did Alan wake me so quickly? Has it arrived. I looked out the window. Sure enough, it was already in front of the house.
"Corn," he asked. I nodded and went down.
"Arin misses," he said, writhing my arms. I hugged him tightly too.
"Sister Ara misses Arin too" I said kissing her head.
"Sir Ra, bring souvenirs for Arin?" tanyakanya. I smiled and nodded.
"Ck, so the story is not miss dong. Tell me to ask for souvenirs," said Alan. I laughed crisply when I saw Arin's lips pursed.
"No, Arin does miss Ara," said Arin increasingly tightened his embrace.
"Here you go, come on in. Your brother's tired" said Alan walking to enter the house. I grabbed Arin and invited him in.
"Sister, there's brother Alan doesn't fuck around, does he?" asked Arin when we were in the living room.
"No, only your brother is often ignorant. Very nice," I said staring at Alan. Alan gave me a sharp look, but I just chuckled amusedly.
"Indeed so he sis, tonight brother sleeps in Arin's room huh? Arin misses big brother, can ya sister Lan?" oceh Arin looked at me and Alan took turns.
"His son, he's sister's wife. So you can only sleep with your brother" Alan said sitting next to me. He grabbed me and kissed me on the forehead. I hit him slowly. He could have done that in front of Arin.
"Well, I've already gathered. Where's souvenirs?" ask the mother who just appeared stone.
"There's in the suitcase. Then Ara dismantle first," I said smiling at my mother.
"Oh yes ma, aunt Syila send greetings he said," said Alan. Mama seemed happy to hear his words.
"Wa'alaikumusalam, mama also missed Syila very much. We haven't been together for a long time" said Mama, changing her countenance.
"Mama don't be sad, aunt will definitely come home later," I said sitting next to my mother. I looked at my dad who was looking at me. I looked at Alan confusedly. Papa's gaze was like deciphering something.
"Alan, can you hear you've finished your lecture?" ask Alan. I kept staring at Alan.
"Yes pa, the day after Alan's trial," said Alan staring fixed papa.
"Ara, are you done?" ask papa to look at me. I gasped a little, but I quickly shook my head.
"Hmmm... Quickly finish, if you want to continue together." said papa who increasingly confused me.
"Papa, what do you mean, papa? Don't talk about it!" exclaimed mama staring at papa lekat. I am getting uncomfortable with this kind of position. What exactly do you mean by papa? Does my fear have anything to do with papa?
"Don't forget the family tradition, prove that you're Alan's son." I saw Papa get up from his seat and leave. Alan glanced at me, and then he went straight after papa.
"Ma, what is this?" I stared at my mother full of question marks. I looked at Arin, he raised both his shoulders.
"Mama doesn't know Ara, papa you are like that. Unexpected," said my mother embracing me. I just keep looking down to keep thinking. A tradition? Whatdoes thatmean? What papa wants Alan... Ck, don't be so bad thinking Ara. I hope what is on your mind doesn't really happen.
"Darling, you look tired. Rest up. Arin, take your brother to his room" said the mother. I nodded and got up from my seat.
"Sir," asked Arin to embrace my hand. I looked at him fixedly.
"Arin will tell me inside" he whispered. I'm nodding.
"Every Digantara family boy should get out of the house, that is. Every man should continue his education beyond horror until they are truly worthy of being the heirs of the DGR Group. Including Alan's brother, even though the brother is not papa's biological son. But papa already considers brother like the firstborn in this family. This tradition has indeed been passed down since a long time ago, papa also does that tradition," explained Arin. I get it now.
So Alan's going to study abroad? Then what about me? It took me less than a year to finish college. Alan couldn't have waited that long, had we really had to be apart. No, I don't want that to happen.
"Arin, can't you continue your studies here? Maybe there's another way?" ask me with passion. I'm sure there's a way out.
"Can't brother, any child who rejects this tradition. Then he'll be scrawled in the family card. For example, papa's sister, at this time we do not know where he is. It used to be uncle and papa there was a bit of conflict. But after that Papa lost track." I was surprised, is there still such a tradition? This isimpossible.
"So Alan has to go?" my many. My heart raced great. Alan and I were just together. Why does it have to be like this?
"Yes, brother, Arin hope you decide everything right. Arin does not want to lose brother or sister Ara. Arin hopes that you can sacrifice your present happiness for future happiness. Don't let Alan make the wrong decision. Because papa never messes with his words brother." I stared at Arin for a long time. My heart ached when I heard everything Arin said. I love my husband so much, I can't get away from him. Especially in a long time.
"Arin, can you leave your brother alone? Let your brother think" I said walking towards the balcony of the room. My tears are flowing so hard. Alan is still here Ara, so why are you crying? Hiks, it hurts so much. Just imagining it being so painful, what if it really happened? Can I survive? O God, do not separate Ara from Ara's husband. Wherever Alan went, Ara wanted to come.
