Love With Candidates
The former gift.

"Alya, Al wake up son, your husband has already picked you up!" Call umi from outside. Tapping on the door repeatedly.  

Unable to see the clothes of Satria that are wet because outside in the rain, Umi intends to borrow a towel in Alya's room.  

"Let Umi, maybe Alya is tired, let me rest." Satria stepped away from Alya's room, followed by Umi Salma she chose to sit on the terrace with Abi.

"Satria's son used to drink coffee what tea?" ask Umi Salma.

"Em, don't bother Umi, Satria is used to drinking water only, then let's take it yourself. Umi's just taking a break now" Satria's pinta. The man smiled awkwardly. 

Umi Salma smiled at her daughter-in-law who was so well mannered with the old man. Hopefully Alya will be able to accept Satria like her and her current husband. 

Umi Salma gave time for her son-in-law to talk to her husband, while she quietly went back to make tea while waking Alya up without Satria's knowledge. 

Umi feels bad about her new daughter-in-law. It's still late afternoon Alya's sleeping, and she's not even eating and drinking or going to the bathroom. 

Umi took the initiative to open with a spare key.  As soon as the door opened, Umi was surprised to see Alya sleeping in a sitting position beside the bed with her head leaning against her side

"Alya, there is Satria in front," Umi whispered as she shook Alya's body slowly.

"Umi, sorry, Alya overslept." Ayla wriggled and rubbed her wet eyes using the back of her hand. 

"Alya you're crying?" Tanya Umi felt awkward with Alya's face that was messy and her eyelids were swollen.

"Yes Umi, sorry, all this is too shocking for Alya. Honestly Alya can not accept Satria, Umi. Alya's heart is not that easy to move from one heart to another. 

Umi Salma took a deep breath, co-observing around the room, all of which recalled Aditya's memories.

Umi hugs Alya who is back in the mood. Umi tries to calm her daughter who may not be able to tell everyone about what she feels.

"Son, cry on Umi's shoulder. Spill out everything you feel. Umi's gonna be your friend."

Hearing Umi Alya's words grew increasingly obnoxious. "Umi, Alya cannot be a good wife for Satria, What if Alya's attitude will only hurt her heart. And Alya doesn't want Umi, stay one house with her." 

Alya again recalled how Aditya that night boldly came to her in the kitchen and clasped her hands. It was fortunate that Alya was able to leave immediately as she was carrying a bucket of warm water. 

"You must be strong through all this, son, Umi's message is never to betray the husband, it will make it difficult for us to find sustenance."

***

Child and Umi has dissolved in his world, Umi tried to entertain, at this time he is Alya's friend who can be trusted the most. 

Suddenly Satria looks smiling friendly at the door, apparently the knight has been replaced with a T-shirt belonging to Abi and also pants. Her slightly wet hair combed back looked even more charming.

"Alya, your husband has come, mother get tea first in the kitchen, you can talk first." Mother Salma immediately left from the simple room of her daughter. 

"Al." Satria came in and sat down on a small chair that Alya used to sit in while putting on makeup.

"Yes. You just got home?" Alya felt strange why Satria had just arrived when it was night, should have been home since noon.

"I was looking for work." Said Satria who was getting cold because her hair was wet.

"Can?" 

"It's got Al." Satria gets a new job but no happy aura is shown.

Alya immediately gave Satria a small towel to dry her hair. While continuing his activity, Satria observed the surroundings of the room. Jealousy began to fall on his heart. 

"Sorry, Sat. If you don't like it, I'll throw it away. I fell asleep so I haven't finished cleaning this stuff." Alya stood up while picking up some photos, trinkets, and gifts given by Aditya. 

"No need Al, let it go if you want to keep it. Besides I can't force someone to forget and love me." 

Hearing the series of sentences that Satria said, it made Alya feel bad. Alya knew what the knight said was not the truth. 

There was a jealous tone that was deliberately concealed. 

"No Sat, however I must forget Aditya's mas, let him be a part of the past. And the present moment in my life is you." 

Alya was still busy picking up objects that would keep reminding her of the past. Put it in a cardboard box and take it to the warehouse. 

"Alya, are you sure? Don't do it if it's still heavy." Satria could not bear to see Alya who seemed forced to get rid of everything. Must be because I'm not feeling good about him.

"It's okay, this is also not thrown away, I will put it in the warehouse" said Alya while hugging a large cardboard, while Satria began to move from the chair to the bed

 sleepily. Tired of approaching. 

Back home from college, actually Satria idly came to the restaurant and alhamdulilah immediately accepted even though it could only be half a day.

He only helped serve guests in a simple restaurant and got a daily salary that is not much. 

When he returned, Alya brought tea made by Umi Salma. Put it on a small table next to the bed.  It was a pity that Satria had already flown to dreamland. He covered the tea and Alya began to roll out mats on the floor.

Just spilled his body, something was holding him back. "Al, you can't sleep on the floor, it's cold."

"It's okay, Sat. You who are tired of working should sleep in bed"

After a tough discussion. Alya had to give up. He now sleeps in bed and Satria sleeps on the floor. 

****

Tomorrow it turns out everything has changed, Satria who was sleeping on the floor is now next to Alya.

Alya was surprised instead of playing to see her husband's burly body so close to her.

"Satriaa ....!!!"

"Alya, why are you yelling." Satria pretended not to understand anything.Alya's voice really disturbed her sleep.

"Satria why are you in bed?"

"I don't know Al. It seems like last night I was delirious and didn't realize I had moved, I'm sorry Al."

Last night Satria felt her body was very cold, she did not want to end up sick. Satria chose to move to sleep in bed with Alya.

Because she had already woken up, Alya got out of bed to clean up and cook all together.

In the kitchen apparently already there Umi who just came home from shopping, a lot of fresh vegetables are bought for today.

"How much umi will all be cooked?"

"iya Dong, umi deliberately cooked a lot for Satria, she had to taste the delicious cuisine of Umi.

Alya and Umi both laugh, umi rubbed Alya's hair before executing a kilo of meat to make rendang. " You also learn to cook, a woman must be good at pleasing her husband's stomach."
