"Have we met?" tanya Melati ventured when they had passed through the forest, the young man's hands hugged Melati's waist very fittingly.
The young man smiled slightly, then looked down at Melati's face, looking friendly and gentle. He didn't answer.
If asked he did not want to, but his face looks very loving Melati.
The moon was bright, half the way they walked, the young man continued to clutch his small hand. His eyes looked forward, but once Melati looked at him the young man also returned Melati's gaze, she turned her head and smiled slightly.
"Thank you." said Melati briefly, she did not want to say anything.
The young man paused for a moment, he faced Melati and grabbed her both hands. His face approached and peeked at the corner of Melati's lips, he spoke.
"Wake up!"
Iyan faithfully held onto Melati's hand, her face hiding between Melati's shoulders and ears. It is certain that he has been in that position for a long time.
"Mas!" the words that came out from the tiny lips of Jasmine, sounded up to Iyan's ears.
Slowly Iyan woke up and saw Melati, her face was wrinkled but not sleeping. "At last you can wake up Mel?" said slowly.
"Mas Iyan why?" tanya Melati tried to switch positions, tilting her body facing Iyan.
"Mas was afraid that you would not wake up, Mas Iyan called you not to get up." Iyan clasped Melati's hand and kissed her.
"How's Yan?" adi also asked Bule Tuti to come into the room after hearing Melati's voice.
"Thank God wake up Bule." answered Iyan turned to the two men.
"Alhamdulillah, almost." Bule stroked his own chest.
"Virtually what is it?" tanya Melati looked at Iyan's face in confusion.
"You can't get up earlier." explained Iyan smiling, giving a drink that Bule Tuti had prepared to Melati.
"Thank You." Melati tries to get up to drink more. "My body hurts all" said Melati slightly grimacingly massaging her own back.
"Love the wind oil?" Iyan gave the wind oil to Melati.
While Adi was able to breathe a sigh of relief, the fat man returned to the living room, he was already very sleepy, since the afternoon had not slept at all.
Jasmine took it, slightly rubbed her shoulders and nape with the oil.
"So I had a dream Mas, chased by two creepy giants. I'm freaking out." Melati looked at Iyan with fear still remaining.
"Continue?" tanya Iyan brushed off Melati's hair blocking her face.
"It feels like real, they hit me, sore and sick." Melati was still rubbing her back.
"Don't it be Mel, I couldn't get up." Bule Tuti said he was still faithfully standing at the end of Melati's bed.
"Come on Bule." Jasmine grimaced a little.
"Let Bule massage for a moment." Bule's approaching Melati.
"I'm really tired, Mom." Melati whined and increasingly clasped Iyan's hand.
"Yes, but you can't go back to sleep, after three o'clock."
"What?" Jasmine looked up at the clock on the wall of her room. It's still 00:00.
"Mas temenin you." Iyan smiled sweetly, of course he was also sleepy, not even sleeping at all.
"Replace later." Bule's done massaging Melati.
"Bule sleep for a while, Iyan will wake up when it's two" said Iyan again.
"Yes Bule." Iyan and Melati answered simultaneously.
"Mas not sleepy?" jasmine asked, looking back at Iyan's face.
"Mas can stand it, just be with you, let alone half a night, until morning I will be ready to accompany you." Iyan smiled seductively at Melati.
"I'm not sure." Melati teased Iyan back with a spoiled smile of hers.
"Later you'll be overwhelmed." Iyan laughed continuing his tease, bringing his face closer to Melati.
"Not believe." Melati deliberately made Iyan anxious to talk to her.
"Must believe my dear." Iyan stroked Melati's head, she really loved that girl.
"I love you so much, Mom." Melati grabbed Iyan's arm for now sitting together on Melati's bed.
"I'm more than that, only Melati doesn't know." replied Iyan sounding sincere.
"I know Mas, and I'm so scared of losing you. It's only natural that if Mom says I'm getting pellets from you, I'm so scared away from you Mas." said Melati with sad eyes.
"What if I'm really cutting you?" said Iyan very close to the face of Melati, his eyes staring very friendly, like channeling desire for more than just close together like today.
Melati retorted Iyan's gaze, her eyes piercing deeply. "I think it's better, make me fall in love with you all the time. Don't let me go for a second, make me not want to be away from you. Because of course I wouldn't be able to without you. Make me the way you want me to, just don't hurt my heart." replied Melati sound sincere and resigned.
Iyan hugged Melati, not so tightly but warmed. "Sorry" he said slowly.
Jasmine loosened Iyan's embrace, she looked up at that handsome face again. "Sorry what you're doing?"
"I really did it."
Iyan's words made Melati surprised, she did not expect Iyan to say that.
"How's it?" tanya Iyan looked at Melati gently, no worries on her face, only she needed answers.
Melati is still inexhaustible surprised, it turns out her mother's guess is right, Arka's guess is right! He seemed to think for a while he still did not know what to say.
"Darling." call Iyan to wake Melati up, make her eyes blink and stare at Iyan's face again.
"Mas was just joking" said Melati smiling slightly, still not taking her eyes off Iyan's face.
"No." Iyan replied again.
Melati's getting in disbelief. Her beautiful eyes would not turn away, tracing Iyan's face little by little without being missed.
"I really love you, very much." said Iyan again, soft and friendly.
Melati is still silent.
"Mas loves Melati very much." she wanted Melati to answer.
Melati tears came out slowly, her red lips twitching withstanding a great cry.
"But, Mas still wants you to be my wife, build a household and have cute, pretty and handsome kids like you." Iyan stroked Melati's cheeks, wiping away the tears that fell slowly.
"Why should I wear something like that?" jasmine asked with a cry that made her lips shrink.
"Because I love you too much, I'm not willing to play you forever. I wanted to have you for a long time, and I think I was wrong to take you from Arka. He is guilty, not only of Arka, but of you, and of Mother. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." said Iyan begging, this time his face looks show concern and sad.
"How now?" tanya Melati was still motionless, just looking and talking.
"Mas just doesn't want to cover anything. And Mas needs to know my future wife's true feelings, not only to seduce each other, but the truth in her heart I need to know." Iyan still didn't release Melati's eyeballs.
