Sincerity of Heart 2
Chapter 41. Letting Go of Longing

"Bi, thank you for bringing them here. It's been almost a month since Ara's been there. Ara could see them again." said Ara hugging Alan gently. Alan smiled as he continued to rub Ara's head.

"Whatever makes you happy, Hubby will give you dear. Because for hubby, your happiness is paramount." Alan kissed Ara's head so fondly.

"Hmmm... Ara was very happy. Thanks bi."

"There is no need to thank you, because in love there is no word of thanks."

Ara smiled at her husband's words.

"Bi, what about hubby's lecture?" tanya Ara turned on Alan's cheek. Alan looked at Ara fixedly.

"How do you think? Should I go on?" ask Alan. Ara was very surprised to hear Alan's question. That's not what Ara wants to hear.

"Bi, why did hubby ask like that? Hubby needs to stay up. Ara just asked, how is hubby's lecture there?" ara answered again repeating her question. Alan took a deep breath.

"Hubby is confused, on the one hand hubby does not want to disappoint papa. But on the other hand, hubby also has a responsibility to keep you dear. Hubby confused how to?"

"Advanced hubby lecture, pursue the target that has been hubby stacking. Ara here is fine, hubby need not worry. Nowadays most importantly, hubby should focus on hubby lectures and quickly return. Ara will always wait for hubby, if God allows. Ara will overtake hubby." said Ara at length. Alan looked at Ara as he digested every word the wife said.

"Hubby just doesn't want this to happen again" Alan said. Ara let out a heavy breath.

"Hubby, this is a lesson for us. Insha Allah not in the future this incident will not happen again. Hubby, trust Ara. We get through all this together, huh? Hubby don't despair like this dong. Hubby used to say, he said hubby wanted to be successful and beat papa. Now is the time to realize hubby's dream, keep the spirit. Your wife is always behind."

"Believe me, Allah is always with us. Here." Ara pointed at the bottom of Alan's heart. Alan smiled and hugged Ara.

"Thank God, you gave a noble heart to my wife. I'm so happy." Alan hugged Ara tightly. Ara smiled at Alan's exaggerated remarks to her.

"The prince is too exaggerated, then is now the prince still in a dilemma?" tanya Ara pulled Alan's collar.

"No, because I've already gotten advice from the beautiful angel. My heart is open again. I love you." Alan kissed Ara's forehead so deeply. He looked at the wife's netra which was so soothing.

"Hubby's leaving next week. Is hubby staying again?" alan asked without taking his eyes off Ara's beautiful eyes. Ara shook her head and smiled sweetly.

"Ara ok kok bi, even though it will miss. But Ara will be patiently waiting for hubby. Hubby has to promise, keep telling Ara. Don't be like that day." said Ara with her manyun lips. Alan laughed and pinched Ara's lips in anxiety.

"Not going to repeat the mistake, hubby promised" Alan cupped Ara's face. Ara smiled and hugged Alan again.

"Saaayang hubby." said Ara so spoiled.

"Darling, are you so close to your boss in the office?" alan asked, Ara was very surprised when she heard Alan's question. Ara raised her head and looked at the face of the husband full of question marks.

"No, how could Ara be close to her" Ara said.

"Then what does that mean? Do you often have lunch together?"

Hearing that question Ara immediately laughed. Alan knitted his brows.

"So hubby believed? Geez bi, since when did Ara have lunch with Ara's boss. People every day Ara eat with tea. Ara will often bring supplies, food in the cafeteria is not good." explained Ara with a amused smile. It turns out to be happy too when we see the people we love jealous. Very funny and adorable. Inner Ara.

"How can he say if he misses lunch with you?" Alan was still not satisfied with Ara's reply. Ara took a breath and looked at the handsome face of that past-goal.

"My dear Hubby, Ara doesn't know why Mr. Dio said that. Ara never had lunch with him. He went out with her, but it was also because of a meeting with a client. Hubby must believe, Ara was right never once had lunch alone with Mr. Dio." explained Ara at length. He hopes Alan believes his words, because it is what it is. Alan was silent. Ara let out a heavy sigh and cupped Alan's face with both hands.

"For Ara, hubby is the only man Ara loves. After papah and Azka. No one else she's Ara's heart, hubby must know what Ara's feelings on hubby are like? Ara always tries to keep her distance from any man. Because Ara has a lot of respect for hubby as Ara's husband. Hubby is the best priest for Ara." Ara kissed Alan's lips gently. Ara smiled and wrapped her hands around Alan's neck.

"Hubby always misses you too baby. Especially when you're spoiled like this, hubby misses him a lot." Alan peppered Ara's head in a row.

"Ara will forgive the time to keep hugging hubby like this."

"Hmmm... Hugged the princess. Servants will accept with pleasure." said Alan who was greeted with laughter by Ara. Then both of them were swept away in a longing that had been buried.

***

A week went by so fast. Alan's leaving tonight.

"Huh, tonight Ara just as good as bolsters again." said Ara while playing Alan's hair is still wet. Alan smiled at the wife's complaint.

"Must get used to it, but remember not to kiss the bolster? Hubby's rations are over." joked Alan. Ara hit Alan's shoulder slowly.

"Indeed hubby thinks Ara's crazy what's using a sengala kiss?" Ara pursed her lips. Free of charge he put on an annoyed face, Alan could not see it because his current position was behind Alan.

"Who knows, right? The horn of the miss you kissed the bolster deh." said Alan while chuckling.

"Look, don't tell me that hubby likes to kiss bolsters. Look out for it bolsters, Ara will be ridiculed if hubby had kissed." said Ara in an annoyed tone. Alan chuckled more and more to hear Ara's words.

"Kasian dong the bolster, he's not wrong" said Alan closed his eyes to enjoy the touch of Ara's hand on his head. But suddenly Ara stopped her activities and changed the position of sitting on Alan's lap.

"Bi, hubby there's nothing to bother about, right? No one's a hubby, right?" asked Ara when she remembered Disa's words back at the office. Alan raised his eyebrows. But soon Alan changed his facial expression.

"Many, some even begged to be hubby's girlfriend" Alan said, holding his smile.

"Continue?" asked Ara with a jealous face.

"Keep... That's it. You must know the answer." said Alan wrapped both his hands around Ara's slender waist. Ara pursed her lips.

"Surely they're prettier, right?" asked Ara with no spirit. Alan smiled faintly. Several times Ara heard a heavy sigh.

"But you're more beautiful and special baby. No matter how beautiful they are, no one is as attractive as you. All day long hubby only thinks of you baby, only you hubby misses every moment and every second." Alan tucked away Ara's hair that covered half of her face. Ara's lowered her head back making Alan confused.

"What's wrong? Still can't believe it?" alan asked pulling Ara's chin. Alan was very surprised when he saw Ara's blushing cheeks. Alan thought Ara would cry as usual.

"Ara shy bi," said Ara slowly. Alan laughed crisply at the adorable behavior of his wife. Alan brought his face closer to Ara's. Both heartbeats were racing great.

"Remember, the doctor said you should take a full break. One month stay home and don't go anywhere if it doesn't matter. Once you are healthy, you can continue your internship again. You understand, right?" said Alan who answered nodding by Ara.

"Don't forget to eat and take medicine. From now on you should get used to drinking milk. You look so skinny, hubby doesn't like you being too thin like this." Alan said. This time, however, Ara nodded.

"Ara doesn't want to drink bi's milk. Ara doesn't like it, the smell of tau." whined Ara while he was a manyun. Alan smiled and rattled Ara's hair in anxiety.

"Must get used to it, milk is good for health" said Alan pinching Ara's cheek with anxiety.

"Sick bi," whined Ara again while hitting Alan's arm. Alan stretched his body and pulled Ara down into his arms. Ara was shocked by Alan.

"I want to hug you until satisfied, tomorrow we can't be like this anymore" Alan said. Ara smiled and nodded. He put his head on Alan's chest and closed his eyes.

"Ara was sleepy" said Ara hugging Alan tightly.

"Sleep" said Alan rubbing Ara's head gently. Then they both fell asleep. Maybe only time knows and will answer the longing that is always hidden. A longing that is hard to treat. A longing that stifles the chest. It is true said Dilan, if miss is heavy. But without longing, the world will feel empty. Every meeting will have a farewell. Every breakup will create a longing.
