Two Love Alia
7. Alia Nugraha's

In her room Alia thought about many things including the newly discussed soul mate Cindy and Inneke. He poured down his body even though the mattress he occupied was quite comfortable but his heart was riled up. Depleted savings and paychecks that have not yet arrived, financial problems that are always charged to him even though the actual income from the contract that his father left is more than good for the cost of their lives. The last thing that disturbs his mind is Huda who returns to his life and a soul mate who continues to be buzzed by Cindy. All of those things were confusing for Alia.

For the people of Indonesia in general, a woman who reaches the age of 27 years and not married is not a common thing. Neighboring gossip became a song that sounded like the background music of life. Most women will marry before they reach that age. But no one should be concerned if the soul mate does not come even though the age has entered the head of three if the woman does not bother him.

The soul mate will meet and meet if the time comes and the effort is maxed out. But if all efforts have been made and have not been met with a soulmate, what can humans do? Only surrender and always think positively of the Creator.

For some reason after Cindy's arrival a soul mate dominated her mind. Alia realized her efforts to perfect half the religion has not been maximized and she was not so eager to have a companion because some failure in the past gave a sense of trauma to the heart. Although many colleagues have stepped into the guarantee, it does not make Alia motivated to do the same.

Alia is always amazed at couples who are firmly committed to marriage. Especially to those who have made sacred promises before God. Accept each other's shortcomings and face all the problems post-marriage. He just became an observer of other people's lives and did not even know how to behave if he was in the position of wife because for Alia about the soul mate is not an easy thing.

Alia is the only child of a state couple. His father was a civil servant and his mother was a nurse. Alia grew up lovingly from the people around her until she became a child who cared deeply for others.

But unfortunate can not be denied because every living person will definitely feel his name dead. Alia's mother breathed her last while giving birth to her second child. The mother and baby in her womb could not be saved. Alia was only twelve years old and had just graduated from elementary school.

The figure of a loving and loving mother he could not see her smile again. Only a year later the new mother was present in her life. Alia's father remarried to a widow with one child who was none other than Inneke with her little daughter Rena. Although not his flesh and blood, Hadi loved Rena as much as his own daughter. But the same thing didn't happen to Alia. Inneke only showed his contrived affection in front of her husband.

Alia could not stand the treatment of her stepmother like she imagined. Although he never committed physical violence, Inneke tortured Alia with every sentence that came out of his mouth. There was not the slightest bit of hospitality that Alia received.

Alia who is still young cannot complain to her father. Inneke always switched the conversation if Alia started talking about her new mother and Hadi was very happy with the new family present after one year of the departure of Mirna, his first wife.

For a year Alia looked overcast on the face of the father she had always been proud of. At first he felt he could not accept if his mother was replaced with another woman. But he misses the smile of the father who always laughs cheerfully, with a heavy heart he gave up the father he loved married to Inneke.

In just a year someone who feels lost can turn his heart to another heart. Although many years have passed together, when the heart feels empty it can fill it with another heart that also needs a backrest. That's what happened to Alia's father who lost the figure of the woman he loved and Inneke who had lived a widow for a long time because of a cheating husband and irresponsibility for his little daughter.

The little Rena who was so carefree full of happy laughter hypnotized Alia when the first encounter. The little boy warmed his heart. So funny and adorable and he always wrestled spoiled to Hadi, his loving father. As an only child, suddenly sharing affection does need adjustment although sometimes it causes jealousy. Even so Alia always tried to behave appropriately, she did not want to protest or mess with Rena's happiness just because of her jealousy.

Alia can reconcile with herself for the attention of the father, her father can also share the affection for the little princess who is not her flesh but Inneke does not want to open her heart to women just share love. She only performed in front of her husband for the attention directed towards Alia. Alia sometimes forgets that her mother's attention is only a play that will end if her father's view is diverted to something else.

Until the years of changing Inneke remained the same even after Hadi's departure for good.

Amidst Alia's many thoughts the door to the room opened. Cindy came in without permission. He sat in front of the dresser.

"What do you think you're up to seven layers of crinkles like that?"

"If you enter the room, can anyone please excuse me or knock on the door first?"

"Eh, even though sometimes bars like this I still have ethics know. I've tuketok-ketok earlier, you're the one who daydreamed to reach America"

Alia's forehead wrinkled.

Please don't bring America. So remember he was.

"You don't have to use everything. I know how you think about that American"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean rather than you having a hard time finding a mate better turn your back on your ex who just came home from America" Cindy crossed her arms.

"Turn the same ex?" Alia tilted her head "You...How can you...?"

"Can you know?" Cindy cut out Alia's sentence

"You know Huda?"

"My husband is one Junior High with your dearest ex Huda and they never lose contact. I also know you used to be very nice to him and he was the same. But it's actually strange how you guys can break up in the middle of the road, do not-don't..."

"Stop!"
