My Beloved Uncle
C14. Only We Know

Ziel stepped his feet toward the figure he had been looking for for almost an hour more. Swiping softly at the head of the girl who seemed to be sleeping in her sleep. Until the girl woke up and looked at her.

"Uncle"

Ziel squatted his body to align with Alina who was still holding her position.

"Let's go home".

Alina shook her head then threw away her gaze from Ziel.

"Hey. Let's go home Alia" Ziel again persuaded Alina who was still reluctant to stare at him.

"Alina doesn't want to go home to Uncle!" Said Alina while drowning her head in both her horns.

"Then where would Alia go if not to Uncle's house?"

"Alina wants to go back to the cottage and stay there!"

Alina's reply made Ziel speechless and stared wistfully at the girl who since these past few weeks existence began to tease the recesses of her heart.

"If Alia goes back to the cabin Uncle lives with whom?"

Alina took a breath and threw it away slowly and then looked at Ziel who was staring at her with sadness.

"During this time Alina also lived alone with Mbak Yani, and Uncle also during Alina's stay at Uncle's house, Uncle never wanted to go home and meet with Alina. So it's better for Alina to go back to the cottage" Alina said.

"Maybe Alina's presence disturbs Uncle. Uncle refused to go home. So _"

"Let's get married!".

Alinq's eyes were perfectly rounded and Ziel stared intently at Ziel's words.

"Uncle sane?" Alina spoke in a high tone. Ziel countered her by nodding his head steadily.

Alina smiled obliquely and looked at Ziel with a look of disdain.

"Uncle is not sane!. Uncle is my Uncle. My Father's Brother. The Son of Grandpa and My Grandma. There's no way I'm getting married to Uncle. For we are blood, se nasab and se mahram. It is illegal for us to get married!" Jerky Alina.

Fortunately, the musholla they stopped at this time was far from the residential area so that the cries of Alina would not be heard by the surrounding residents.

"There's something Alia should know. That's why we go home first"

Alina brushed off with the rough hand of Ziel who wanted to touch her. With still staring hard Ziel Alina shed her tears unconsciously to make Ziel was filled.

"No. Alina's going back to the cabin!" Sergey Alina still rejects Ziel.

"Please listen to Uncle Alia's explanation first!" Alina moved from her sitting. The girl stood up while Ziel was still squatting her body before Alina.

"No one needs Uncle to explain to Alina!" Alina immediately left Ziel. The girl would run before the end of her Ziel stood up from her squat and held back Alina's steps by catching Alin's sleeves until she made her step stop.

"Please!"

"No. We home. Uncle will tell and tell you something that Uncle Stone got a moment ago!" Ziel's got Alina. Even now Ziel pulled Alina's sleeve so that the girl followed in his footsteps.

Ziel accidentally fastened Alina's headscarf tightly with the tip of her jacket to keep the girl from running away.

Alina protest was not listened to by Ziel who actually drove the motor in his use to his residence.

Silence is not as usual when the two are riding a motorcycle. Alina, who used to wrap her hands around Ziel's waist, now prefers to sit away from Ziel.

Until the motor arrives at Ziel's house the silence between the two of them still occurs until Mbok Yani opens the door of the house and immediately cries hugging Alina after Ziel before her untie Alina's hijab and jacket nya.

"Yes Allah Neng. Mbok was very afraid when Mr. Ziel said Neng Alina had come home but not yet home"

"No Neng. Mbok never felt troubled by Neng"

"Neng eat first. Mbok had already warmed up the food Neng had cooked for dinner"

"No need to Mbok. Alina is not hungry. Go straight to sleep"

Alina chose to pass towards her room leaving Ziel and Mbok Yani who were staring at her departure with a sad look.

"Mbok is ready for the food. Let me take you to Alina's room"

Mbok Yani nods Ziel's words and immediately prepares food for Alina as well as Ziel.

After Ziel changes his clothes and takes food for Alina, Ziel immediately goes to Alina's room.

Chequelek

It has become a habit of Alina who never locked the door of her room while at home.

"Alia, let's eat first!" Ziel set his foot into Alina's bed and placed the tray of food on the nightstand on the left side of Alina's bed.

"Hey. If you don't eat it. Moreover, you have already cooked it" Ziel softly said.

Ziel sighed softly before speaking.

"There's something Uncle will tell Alia after we eat"

Alina was still unmoved not responding to Ziel's words.

"Hungry uncle. Alia knew that Uncle was late to eat later Magh Uncle relapsed, and _"

Ziel gave a small smile as Alina immediately woke up from sleep and immediately picked up the tray filled with food.

"Smart girl" Ziel's hand hung in the air when he realized that there was now a distance between him and Alina.

Ziel's attitude also made Alina grunt quietly in between enjoying her dinner.

"He was afraid that Magh would relapse. But I don't want to eat!"

Ziel boasted his smile after Alina said those words with her mouth filled with food.

Ziel immediately ate the food Alina had made for their dinner. Although already warmed Alina cuisine is still good to eat.

"Alhamdulillah" muttered his second shortly after finishing the meal simultaneously.

"Uncle put the former meal first into the kitchen. Do not sleep first, there are things that Uncle must say and you must know it!"

Alina nodded slowly. Ziel immediately moved to bring the tray to the kitchen. Before returning to Alina's room, Ziel entered her room to pick up a piece of paper that had just been printed.

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

"Alias. Uncle came in" After getting an answer from Alina Ziel went into Alina's room.

Her steps stopped when she saw Alina combing her long hair. Ziel turned his eyes the other way.

"So hates his Uncle same Alin. I don't want to see Alin!" Alina said when she found Ziel who was reluctant to look at her.

"It's not so!" Ziel handed a piece of paper to Alina which Alina received immediately.

Alina's two eyeballs instantly rounded perfectly and stared at Ziel in disbelief.

"We're the only ones who know"
