Sunset begins to set, changing the night filled with flickering flickering lights that illuminate us Jakarta. The dinner was so warm, it was over. Now, Kia was sitting on the edge of Alfan's luxurious bed, holding onto the man's clothes. Since a few minutes ago, Sura splashing water was still clearly heard inside the bedroom, however, the water's gurgling sound simply could not disguise her increasingly crazier heartbeat.

It was the first time they were in the same room. Despite all this time, Alfan was so close to Kayra, the man always kept from being in one room with her, especially inside the room. Except, when she had just given birth to Kayra. They had once been in the nursery together, because Bik Udah had gone to bring baby Kayra into the room.

The sound of the bathroom door opening made Kia flinch. He immediately got up from the bed and stood beside the king-size bed.

Alfan again closed the bathroom door, then stepped closer to the exact moment Kia stood up.

"What's wrong?" Alfan asked in surprise when he saw Kia standing tensely beside the bed while tightly hugging her pajamas. However, it was only the headband that he got from Kia, while extending his pajamas towards her.

"Why is it here?" With a panicked face Kia asked again, as Alfan started wearing pajamas before her.

"Why indeed?" Ask Alfan indifferently. His long-lost jail mode, began to return. Especially seeing the beautiful face of his wife who is red as tomatoes. Ah, it's so adorable. "I'm your husband, Kia. Don't forget." Say it again.

Kia no longer said anything, and just turned her body so as not to see what Alfan was doing.

"Yes..." Kia was shocked as her body was suddenly pulled into a hug.

Alfan tightened his embrace.

"You know how long I've been holding myself back from doing this?" Ask her slowly. "When I found out you were trying to kill yourself, I really wanted to destroy Aryan right then and there. But who am I? Just a cowardly man who doesn't even dare to reveal my heart." Its effects.

Kia raised her hand, and joined her hands around Alfan's waist. Buried her face in the chest of the pajama-clad field, and inhaled the fragrance of her husband's body deeply.

"Thank you, Mom. Thank you for loving me for so long. Thank you for loving Kayra." Kia replied, Not knowing how else he would express his gratitude to this man.

"I really love you, Kia." Alfan. "I don't know what kind of test God will give our households. But the one thing I want to ask you, no matter how heavy it is, don't do the same thing as it was five years ago. Seeing you lying weak in the hospital, it doesn't feel good." Reciprocity.

"I never intended to kill myself, Mom. At that time, I was just thinking too much because of the problems that befell me. A man never came, but I wanted to fall asleep so that all the burdens of my mind were forgotten. Until I tried taking the drug and overdosing." Kia replied laughing funny. He let go lifting his face from Alfan's chest, then looked at the man who was now looking at him confused.

"I wasn't that stupid to have to choose to end my life. And back then, I didn't know I was pregnant with Kayra either." Said Kia again in a voice of regret for what she did at that time.

Alfan raised his hand, then gently rubbed Kia's cheek.

"I won't promise you two anything. However, it must have been either then, or now nothing had changed in my heart. Your name is still here, tucked away in the most beautiful place, in my heart." Alfan. This time, his hand was already carrying Kia's hand, to feel the pounding of her increasingly crazier heart.

A brief kiss on her forehead, made something new begin to feel in Kia's heart. Starting from a warm kiss on the forehead, now moved to the nose pointed down to his thin lips.

Kia was still silent in Alfan's arms. So many years into being part of the Alfan family, this was the first time Alfan had done something this intimate to her.

"It's okay, right?" Alfan asked to make sure that Kia did not mind what she was doing. And the head of his wife, making a warm smile on her thin lips, was clearly visible.

I don't know who started, now both of them have been on a luxurious bed that has been in Alfan for many years. Touch after touch that he had once felt, began to feel again in some parts of his body.

Until after Alfan recited the do'a for blessings and begged for blessings from what they would do tonight, Kia finally ventured to hold Alfan's hand and expressed her anger.

"I'm no longer a girl, Mom." Said slowly.

"Cell membrane? That's not the benchmark of a marriage, Kia. Virginity is not a yardstick to determine if the woman can be a good wife or not. You've brought my Kayra into the world, it means I know what you are. You're a great woman! Not all women are able to survive as you have been for five years." Answer Alfan.

This time it was Kia who ventured and entered into Alfan's arms. It's their wedding night. She wanted to give her best for her husband.

Alfan is willing to accept himself as he is, it means now his job is to make sure if Alfan's choice is the best. Perhaps he could not offer the crown to this man who loved him so much. However, he can still give life devotion to Alfan and his new family.

A long night. With the dim light from the sleeping lamp hand on the nightstand, a new life begins. A routine that will probably become their favorite routine later. A sighing sound rang out in the room which was dominated by white and gray. The cold temperature that came out of the air conditioner, could not dispel the sweat of those who joined in the body of the two.

A long and beautiful night. Starting a new life that will be fulfilled happily, that is what is currently in Kia's mind. Although Alfan did not want to promise her anything, however, he promised in his heart, if the love that Alfan offered for her today, would he repay with his lifelong devotion.
