The Goodness of a Marriage
Chapter 34. Kasmaran

"Later after I become lawful to you, I will definitely love you too, more than your love for me."

That short sentence still continued to dance in Alfan's mind. The returned sentence gave him new hope to live with the woman he loved, it still continues to fill his brain until the car he drives has entered the apartment courtyard which will be his residence for a while.

"The bride-to-be pie finally came home too. So busy are you, that I have to work until I forget to deliver a birthday gift to Arkana." Dimas said annoyed as Alfan entered the apartment.

Alfan smiled at the words of annoyed satire from his best friend.

"Smile only! You know, my waist is almost broken because of your duties and responsibilities." Said Dimas again still in a voice full of annoyance.

"Look down, Dim. After I get married, you will be much more troubled than this. Because I'll have more time in the room with Kia than in the office with you." Alfan replied then passed from the room, leaving behind his best friend who had taken out the buffalo horn.

Because Alfan had disappeared behind the door of the room that had been closed tightly, Dimas resumed his work with lips that continue to nag, curse and curse his best friend and boss.

"I'm going to sleep. Why is this job so much. Good thing you pay me a lot, if I don't live you alone." The omelnya again even though it can not be heard by Alfan.

In the room, Alfan lay on the bed. Swiping on the screen of her phone showing pictures of Kia and Kayra as a baby. The picture he took five years ago, he looked at with his heart pounding.

Since long ago, only Kia was able to make her life upside down. From a humorous man, move into a walking ice block. Then time again turned him into a warm figure like a father who had to turn off his daughter happy, that is when Kayra was born into the world. And more to make his heart happy is, so good is the plan that God wrote for his life.

Did ya? Will Kia love him so much, just like when Kia loved Aryan so much? Even when the man was angry, Kia still looked so gentle facing the man.

"I will love you more than you will give me."

That's what Kia said before she left the courtyard of her parents' house. No, her love for Kia will never be matched, except her love for the owner of life.

Alfan put the phone over his chest. Closing his eyes slowly, smiling so warmly. I hope tonight's dream will never end.

In the room dominated by the color of ash, Kia was still sitting on her prayer mat. Mukenah who somehow available in the room, still wrapped his body. His heart was still beating so fast, because of Alfan's confession earlier.

"God, do not let me love you more than I love you. I'm afraid you'll be disappointed if you love people too much." Lirih Kia while pressing her chest that continues to beat is not careless.

All this time he thought, Alfan just did not want to stay away from Kayra and demanded by age, to repeatedly invite her to marry. But suddenly tonight, something she never imagined, made it out of the man's lips.

"Astag." Kia's face met as she recalled the sentence that had come from her lips before Alfan entered the car with a happy smile. "I'm really crazy." Say it again while patting both cheeks.

Tonight, not only Alfan would find it hard to fall asleep because of that expression of taste. Kia is just as hard. I do not know how long he spent to rest on the prayer mat while thinking about the incident earlier.

A while later, Kia moved up from the floor and released the face attached to her body. Folding the white cloth, practice putting it on the sofa that is there.

After which, Kia stepped towards the table available in Alfa's room. There is a small frame containing a photo of Kayra as a baby, neatly arranged on the table. Slowly, Kia stretched out her hand, as well as carefully touching the small frame.

The smile on his thin lips was still clearly measurable. His heart was still beating, as well as a heart that was growing more and more. Repeatedly he reminded himself, lest Teena by such happy circumstances. However, still, while recalling how Alfan had treated Kayra all this time, it made his heart happy.

During pregnancy, Kia is worried that her daughter will not get the affection of a father like other children. But it turns out his mind was wrong. The man he respected the most, as well as his extended family, loved Kayra. His daughter, in no way lacking in love, though the biological father and the extended family of the man did not want this little daughter.

Kia was still sitting on the chair. However, his body had already turned to stare towards the bed where his daughter was sleeping. He knew, the room he and Kayra used tonight was Alfan's room, as evidenced by so many trinkets from online games that they often played together first.

After a moment of silence in Alfan's work chair, Kia finally got up and stepped into the bed to rest. In his heart he begged, that the owner of destiny would continue to protect this little girl. Bringing them together in a good family, also asking that the fate that he hoped for tonight, will be the last destiny yes to later return to the next eternal life.

"Good sleep." He said to no idea who.

Ah she really is like a teenager who has just fallen in love. Has he fallen in love with Alfan?

Kia raised her hand, then pressed down on the chest that just kept beating.

"If this beating heart is expressed as love, then it means that I have truly fallen in love with you even before we are bound in the sacred bonds of marriage." Say it while closing your eyes.

Tonight, this feeling, and Alfan's confession had already made him like a madman from continuing to talk alone.
