The day was late afternoon, but it had not stopped the exploration of the two lovebirds. Zean continued to take Sally on the dirt bike he had borrowed from the villa guard. So long as possible, even they have refueled the motor twice. Either wasteful or indeed because of too long their journey.
Sally was silent again, when her husband had finished bringing her from the tea garden and strawberry garden. The vegetable garden did not escape Zean's invitation. It never occurred in Sally's brain, if the husband who said he was rich, took a vacation only in the city. Usually, young business couples prefer to go abroad, even between countries. Even so, it's not a necessity. Ah, but it seems Sally forgot that their visit to the top was not for vacation, but for work. Hm ....
Sally was born into a wealthy family, but that doesn't mean her life isn't far from simple ordinary people. The grandmother had taught about the real meaning of life, not about wealth or luxury. But gratitude and willing to live the destiny of life. Like when he had that marriage, it could only be full of willingness.
Holding his wife's hand, towards a bench by the lake. The sun was a little hot, but not to sting the skin because it was driven by cool air, now it has warmed. Sally did not stop amazed. Never thought, if the Zean who used to not care was able to make his heart full since yesterday.
“Sit,” invite Zean when they have arrived at the empty bench they were on.
The two sat down, leaning on the back of the bench. Zean's hand held his wife's shoulder, staring straight at the calm lake water.
Sally just leaned back in Zean's arms, she unceasingly commented a smile. A gentle wind struck the two, scattering the dried leaves from a tree not far from where they were sitting.
“Sa .. someday, if there's a bad thing about me you just found out, will you forgive me?” Not looking at Sally as she spoke, Zean's gaze was still staring straight at the lake whose water was greenish blue.
“What Brother is trying to discuss the past?” The girl raised her head, then turned to look at Zean who had an unreadable expression, in search of an answer.
“Maybe you could say so.” Zean turned his head, but there was still no smile in his face water this time. His face was flat with minimal expression, but the look of his eyes seemed to bring about a difficult expression of taste.
The long-haired girl moved, walking forward a few steps. The lake water is getting closer from its position. He crossed paths, then said, “Everybody has a past, whether good or bad. But ..everyone has a future. And everyone has the right to decide what their future will be like. If Brother Ze wants to bring up the past, I will only listen without caring.”
She turned half of her body, turning to her faithful husband staring from a sitting position. “For me, only the present and the future. How you treated me and our togetherness. As bad as the past, it's just a memory that shouldn't be able to destroy, right?”
He looked straight back at the lake, and said again, "If you believe you love me and I love you. Why would you ask about such a thing? Whatever it was, it was his fault, past or present. I will try to forgive as long as my heart is strong to receive it."
Zean was flabbergasted, hearing Sally's words. That girl was too awesome for him. What kind of education did Sally get as a child, so that maturing her in such a way.
Moving on from sitting down, Zean immediately hugged Sally from behind. Clutching tightly, bowing his face on his wife's shoulders as if spilling all the emotions and burdens that he had been carrying as an only child.
“Sa .. I'm lucky to get you. Papa was never wrong with his choice. Although I could never fight him, but all the things he emphasized to me were for my own good.”
Sally only smiled, her left hand stroking Zean's dense black hair. “I'm a nobody, Brother. I just live what I think is right, without hurting anyone else. Not that I don't care about the story of Brother. But why are we talking about it, I'm not there. The past let pass.”
Zean raised his face, then landed a warm kiss on Sally's left cheek. The wind again blew, blowing away the dry leaves. Sally's right hand looked up, as if to catch one of the fallen leaves.
As one leaf fell down and just grazed his hand, Zean's hand strolled out and grabbed Sally's hand. Grasping her, as if talking represents her lips to channel love. The girl just widened her smile. Enjoy the afternoon lake atmosphere.
Orange rays began to be seen, bouncing brightly in the middle of the lake. “Beauty, Brother,” Sally said as she looked into the middle of the lake. Her husband only answered “ya” with a smile.
Some visitors also enjoyed the atmosphere that afternoon. The weather that should feel warm if not in the highlands, also warms the hearts of the visitors there. It seems that some of them are taking pictures alternately, enjoying a snack, or just chatting casually.
“You're a photo?” ze asked when he saw the direction Sally looked at a group of young people posing together for a picture.
Not waiting for an answer, Zean took the phone out of his pocket. Then he pointed in front of Sally. His left hand was holding a cell phone, while the right hand that had been holding Sally's hand, was now grabbing the wife's head to get closer to him.
“Cheese,” he said made Sally smile, then took pictures of herself and Sally. Even repeated it a few times until satisfied.
Their first personal photo, given that Zean and Sally were never close from the beginning of their marriage. Just because it starts from a misunderstanding, it eventually leads to a sense of expression.

After dinner, the two decided to take a break. Sally was busy playing mobile, telling the family. Zean was busy with his laptop running in front of him.
“Lusa may be Mi, Sally is home,” replied Sally to Anna's mom who was talking to her via phone.
“Iya, Mi. Everything is fine, really. I didn't bother with the work of Brother Ze also times, Mi.” Sally's words drew Zean's attention, the man raised his face and set his gaze on Sally. The wife of the young Pratama master took a quick glance, then wagged her hand a sign that nothing had happened.
Hang up the phone call, and put that sophisticated thing on the nightstand. The girl approached her husband, who had been busy with a laptop on the sofa table.
Just shut up, choosing to sit next to Zean. Want to help also do not understand, if asking must even mess up. Finally, just stay by the side, and look at the man who has been her husband for several months.
Sally seemed to fall in love more and more, when she saw Zean who was serious about doing all his business. At first glance dazed in the little girl's mind, how could she not fall in love yesterday-yesterday, if the creature that God sent to be her husband was that handsome. Hmm. .. I don't know.
“Why?” Zean asked without looking at Sally. Like having eyes beside the head indeed, without turning to know if it is being noticed.
“E-not, kok.” Sally immediately twisted her body, her gaze in any direction. Not to confess.
The man turned off the laptop and closed it, removed the glasses, then faced Sally. “Mami what's it?” he asked and only got the head from his wife.
“Totally?” ask again.
“Um.” Sally answered steadily while nodding.
Scrambled those wavy brown black hair, while smiling as usual. “Tomorrow I have to review the hotel construction project, you want to come?”
The girl in white was silent for a moment, folding one arm to the chest and one other hand propping up the chin while the forefinger knocked on the chin several times. He thought, it seemed that Zean was still patiently waiting for an answer.
“I am here only, there must be very boring.”
Mr. Bobi's son just widened his smile, hearing Sally's answer. “Do not go anywhere. I don't want to lose you again.”
The white cheeks were blushing, the owner smiling shyly at the words of the man 8 years older than him. The more days the more irregular Sally's heart pounded. Every sweet word that Zean expresses, makes him fall into a pool of romance.
“Sleep,” continued Zean, as if he did not see if Sally was embarrassed.
“No sleep? All day we go around, Brother is not tired?”
“I'm going to the bathroom for a while, after this I'm following.” Sally just nodded, then she went to bed.
Not waiting for a long time, Sally had already flown into dreamland when Zean was already out of the bathroom.
