Falling in Love With Senior
Inner War

Happiness is sometimes hard to express. Even beautiful words seemed not enough to describe the feeling now felt by Reihan and Melin. But always tucked do'a in the middle of their togetherness that is so unexpected. So that their relationship will no longer run aground as before.

Melin secretly took a photo of Reihan talking to one of the workers. Then he sent the picture to his father.

Paa, can I stay a few more days here? Papa don't worry, because I'm with good people who can take care of me. Please...!!!

Suddenly Reihan came and made Melin a little surprised.

"Why are those smiles?" ask Reihan.

"Nothing." Melin told a lie. "It's over?" ask Melin later.

"It." Reihan looked at his watch. "There are still a few hours before lunch. We go for a walk?" reihan.

"Can." Melin smiled very sweetly.

Melin will not refuse. Because this was the moment he had been waiting for a long time.

"Come...!" Reihan reached out his hand to help Melin stand up.

Learning from his experience a few years ago, Reihan will not invite Melin to go to the shopping center. Of course Melin will be khilaf and keep going around in there. Not because Reihan is stingy or afraid of not being able to spend Melin. He was just worried that Melin would get exhausted and end up sick.

They were sitting on the beach not far from the hotel where they were staying. Enjoy the freshness of young coconut ice, with a stretch of God's paintings that are so beautiful.

"So when are you coming back?" ask Reihan.

"Sir Rei when?" ask Melin back.

"Why ask me?" reply Reihan.

"Because he wants to go home with Rei." Melin gave a smile.

If that's what Melin wants, then Reihan can't stay too long. She was sure Melin's parents must have been very worried.

"I don't know yet. I'll call you later." said Reihan.

"What does that mean that Rei doesn't mind if we go home together?!" ask Melin.

"Of course not." Reihan replied.

That answer of course made Melin very happy.

Since Melin has already decided, she will go home with Reihan. He tells Sasha to go home first with uncle Lukman. Certainly uncle Lukman did not immediately agree to the nonanya order. He contacted his big boss first after hearing from Sasha.

"It's okay. You guys just go home. He told me earlier."

"Good, sir."

"Finally they meet, so let them be together. I'm sure Reihan can take good care of her."

"Mas Reihan?!"

"Yes, he's with Reihan."

After hearing the story from his master, the uncle was relieved. So that he can go without burden. Because she's sure Melin will be safe with Reihan.

......................

"Please.." a waiters is seen serving lunch to two happy lovebirds.

"Thank you, ma'am." Melin's reply was no less polite.

"Eating a lot, I noticed you're thin" Reihan said.

"It's not skinny. But slim." Melin replied.

Reihan only smiled as he shook his head. A while later Reihan fell silent while folding his hands on the table. He watched Melin sitting in front of him.

"Why see me like that?" asked Melin while she was being watched.

"I'm just grateful to be with you again" Reihan said.

Melin blushed in embarrassment, your face emitting a tinge of red blushing. Makes Reihan even more anxious.

"Astaghfirullah.." Inner Reihan.

After lunch Reihan drove Melin to her room.

"Remember to wake up. We'll see the sunset later in the afternoon" Reihan said.

"Ep. Call me when I'm late." Melin replied.

"alright. Happy break..." Reihan patted the top of Melin's head.

"Sister Rei..."

"E.M...?!"

"Thanks yes." Melin gave her best smile.

"Em." Reihan nodded his head.

After Melin closed the door to her room, Reihan walked into the room next to Melin.

Reihan could not close his eyes that afternoon. His mind is haunted by a shadow of the past that began at Melin's eye-watering home. Although the eyes were gone, but the hurtful words from the eyes were still recorded clearly in Reihan's memory.

Plus the incident between Melin and Arka. Reihan is still curious about Melin's true status. Especially after Melin spoke to someone on the phone this morning. Only, his love for Melin seemed to be able to cover everything. Reihan seemed to not care, the important thing is that Melin is with him now. That's all he had in mind.

"Reihan.., it seems like this time you were really made crazy by Melin. You should ask what his status is now?"

"What if he actually has a bond with another man? That means you've made a mistake."

But on the other side...

The inner war continued until Reihan fell asleep.

......................

Reihan and Melin enjoy the beauty of the sunset at the rooftop hotel where they stay. They were not satisfied even though they had spent time together since morning.

"Why did you send Sasha and uncle home? You're not afraid that I'll mess with you?" reihan.

"I wouldn't be here right now, if I was scared." Melin replied.

"Or did Rei forget that Rei's brother always threw away my fears...?" coined.

"But I failed at that time" said Reihan Lirih.

"I'm sorry..." Melin grabbed Reihan's hand. Melin already knew what Reihan meant.

"I felt really dirty and..."

Melin could not continue her words, as Reihan locked Melin's lips with her thumb.

"We're not here to discuss that. Aye right?" reihan.

"Tell me, what's your plan after we get back?" Reihan tried to discuss something else.

"I want to take Brother Rei to see my parents." Melin replied enthusiastically.

"After a long time, are you sure that they'll take me back?" reihan asked a little doubtfully.

"Must!" say Melin steadily.

Suddenly Reihan's phone rang, Uncle Bian called. She told me that Nurma's aunt was in the hospital.

"Auntie's sick, Mel." muttered Reihan.

"Keep brother Rei going home now?" ask Melin.

"How are you?" Reihan asked back.

"It's okay, I'll come along. We're packing now?" reply Melin.

"I'm sorry. Our plan's falling apart." Reihan rubbed Melin's hand.

"We can walk again after aunt recovers." Melin tried to comfort Reihan.

"Thanks yes."

In the end Reihan and Melin had to go home that night. After the maghrib prayer.

"If you're tired of taking a break, brother." Melin kept warning Reihan.

"Just calm. I'm used to night trips." Reihan smiled at Melin.

Melin just nodded. Actually he was very worried about Reihan. But he chose to stay silent afterwards, not wanting to disturb Reihan's concentration in driving.

"Just sleep if you're sleepy, I'll wake you up" Reihan said.

"Em." Melin nodded.

A few hours later they arrived at the hospital. There was Uncle Bian guarding the aunt.

"How's aunt?" reihan asked while looking at his sleeping aunt.

"Auntie got thin. Aunt passed out in the bathroom this morning. The heat is so high. He needs a lot of rest" the uncle explained.

"Eh, miss Melin. How's things going?" ask uncle.

"Thank God be kind, uncle." Melin replied politely.

Uncle was actually curious about Melin's presence. But the time is not right to question that.

"Uncle has eaten?" ask Reihan.

"Then." replied uncle.

"Who's lili?" ask Reihan again.

"Anything's at home."

The reply made Melin surprised.

"His...? How close is their relationship now...?"

"It's already night. The clock is running out soon. You better go home and rest." said Uncle Bian.

"I drove Melin home, then came back to accompany uncle." said Reihan.

"You should also rest. Tomorrow you come again." his uncle replied.

Reihan followed uncle's advice. He's really tired. Because of his fatigue, he also decided to go to the apartment only.

"It's been a very night. Just spent the night in my apartment. Closer to the hospital" Reihan said.

"Apartment?" reply Melin.

"I'm not gonna fuck around. Promise!" Reihan brandished his two fingers to form the letter V.

Melin nodded. She doesn't feel good about Reihan if she forces him to drive her home. Reihan had to turn back later because the direction of their house was opposite. Especially after nine. There will be many questions from both parents.
