The flow of water finally meets from upstream to downstream. From Sabang to Merauke. Exploring all the beauty of the mountains and waterfalls that germinate in the warm morning sunlight.
Alex and Sophia put out all the magic moves. From lions pouncing on prey to lizards on walls catching mosquitoes. It was obvious they were very proficient with all the kanuragan training. From prologue, monologue to epilogue. It's all been rubbed here and there. The more rotated the more complete but still can emit a melodious sound that is able to cause a tsunami that sweeps away the pleasure that can not be stopped. Drowning in the sea of love. Sailing in the vast ocean.
That's the beautiful combination of love two lovebirds who are in a drunk romance. Fortunately, no one peeked, pity the other residents, who were all upset that they did not have a partner either real or still in the shadows.
After the round count is complete. Sophia was exhausted finally Alex closed the ticket queue, the show has been aired repeatedly, time to return to their respective homes.
Alex hugged Sophia in his arms. They were in a blanket. There is nothing more romantic than love than a legitimate married couple.
"Honey thank you, it feels like my burden is gone instantly" said Alex.
"Yes Mas, I promised to give Mas a gift" Sophia said.
"It's a shame there's something you should know" Alex said.
"What Mas?" ask Sophia.
Alex tells Sophia he's not Mr. Ferdi's son. And what happened to Grandpa was all told to Sophia nothing she covered up. Alex hopes Sophia will be the last power to support him.
"Mas, actually I knew before, it's just that I waited for the right time to tell you about it" Sophia said.
Alex hugged Sophia. His head stuck to Sophia's head.
"I know everything you've done for my own good?" said Alex.
Sophia nodded.
"Will grandfather accept me, I'm not his grandson, I must be disappointed" said Alex.
Sophia's hand held Alex's cheek, stroking it gently.
"Grandfather is a good person and very fond of his family, even though grandfather needs time to be able to accept everything" Sophia said.
"You're right, baby, grandpa needs time" Alex said.
"Oya Mas, tomorrow I will go to Bandung to come to the nature preservation event" said Sophia.
"Nature preservation?" Alex just heard about nature conservation. All this time he never knew knowing or following events related to the preservation.
"Yes, the inauguration of a place that serves to preserve nature, as well as tourist attractions dedicated to nature," Sophia replied.
"Who are you going with?" ask Alex.
"Secretary Wang or Aiko," Sophia replied. She had to leave, Sophia had long been involved in nature conservation activities. Even Sophia was an activist who voiced the importance of preserving nature. It's just that his busyness now makes Sophia not have time to join the activity.
"A lot of guys aren't there?" ask Alex. She starts to get possessive of Sophia. In Bandung, of course, many handsome menjaka or cool widows. Sophia is beautiful, smart and kind, any man would love her upbringing.
"A lot, a lot of girls, too" replied Sophia.
"I'll go with you" replied Alex.
Sophia smiling. It turns out that Alex is starting to possessive of her but Sophia is happy, she feels valuable to her husband.
"Don't Mas want to see Mr Matteo?" ask Sophia.
"Yes," replied Alex.
"Then, the company's business must be taken care of first, later when it's finished, then yes" said Sophia.
"Yes dong, all honeymoon in Lembang, the cold is suitable for newlyweds" said Alex.
Sophia smiled shyly. That's right Alex said, all honeymooners. The place is cold and beautiful. Suitable for newlyweds who laze down from the bed because of the cold. Awareness and romance will be continuously woven from morning to morning. There was Sophia and Alex. Aging, forgetting a moment of busyness in Jakarta.
Alex fell asleep a long time ago. Tired of babbling and muttering from earlier. His stamina was already spent in the fight of the eastern and western continents. Get into dreamland, uh fight again. The casanova was not far from it even though it was in a dream.
"You're asleep" said Sophia.
Alex is not bullying. Even ngigau ngomelin Kenan because oil prices rose, chillies rose and soybeans also rose. Cut salaries and bonuses so that Kenan does not cause all goods to rise.
Sophia wake. Kiss Alex' forehead. Look at his handsome face.
"Mas, are you tired? it's delirious" said Sophia. He's enveloping Alex. Then go to the toilet. Sophia takes a shower, changes clothes. Put the hijab back on. Walk out of his room. Sophia went downstairs. Get in the kitchen. He took chicken and vegetables. Weaning vegetables, cutting them and preparing seasonings to cook all those ingredients.
"Non cook what?" ask Bi Inem.
"Soup cooking for Grandpa Bi," replied Sophia.
"The big master really likes to eat soup especially if there is a lot of broccoli" said Bi Inem.
"If so the broccoli is a bit much Deh Bi," said Sophia.
"Yes Non, let Bibi help cut the broccoli" said Bi Inem.
Sophia nodded. He cooked soup for Bi Inem's assisted grandfather. After the soup was cooked, Sophia moved it to the bowl. Bring the bowl up to the top floor using a tray. Not only the soup, the owner of the emerald eye made a warm ginger honey for grandfather.
Sophia walked towards the grandfather's room. Stand in front of the door. His one hand was airborne, knocking on the door while calling out to grandfather.
"Grandfather .. grandfather ..., this is Sophia," call Sophia.
Suddenly the door opened. Grandpa David told Sophia to go inside. Sophia nodded. Following Grandpa into his room. They sit on the couch. Sophia put the soup and ginger drinks for grandfather on the table.
"Grandfather, Sophia made soup and warm honey ginger for grandfather," Sophia said with a friendly smile.
"Thank you Sophia" said Grandpa David.
Sophia nodded.
Grandpa took Sophia's soup. Eat it slowly until it runs out, as well as warm honey ginger made by Sophia, drunk unceremoniously.
"It deserves Alex to love you so much, you're so good at pleasing people" Grandpa David said.
Sophia smiling. The smile rose like the sun on his lips. Bring warmth in times of sadness.
"Grandfather, Alex loved grandfather, father, mother, Claudya and Gavin very much, time has made Alex live and grow up in this family, even though there is no blood ties, even though there is no blood ties, but love and affection have tied her to being part of this family" Sophia said. Her emerald eyes glazed over. Tears fell on her red cheeks.
Grandpa David was silent. He listened to Sophia.
"Some say a family is not only intertwined because of blood ties alone, as Sophia who came to this house, became part of this family. Even her grandfather and all family members accepted Sophia as a member of the Sebastian Family" Sophia said.
Grandpa just fell silent. There was not a word out of his mouth. Flat expression. Not showing joy or sadness.
"Love and compassion allow everyone to live together and understand each other despite so many differences" Sophia said.
"Alex may not be grandfather's grandson, but his love and affection are sincere to grandfather. Like a grandchild to his grandfather. Because it was my grandfather who made it what it is now" Sophia said.
Grandpa David's eyes are glazed. Remember Alex's childhood playing ball with him. Not only are many things that have been passed together.
"Sophia went back to the room again, Kek, assalamu'alaikum" Sophia said.
"Wa'alaikumsallam" said Grandpa David.
Sophia stand. Walk out of Grandpa David's room. He hoped that Grandfather's feelings would improve again.
Inside the silent grandfather. He thought of Mr. Ferdi and Ms. Marisa who would lie to him. Not being honest with him. They should have told Grandpa from the beginning. Maybe none of this is gonna happen.
That afternoon Alex and Sophia held a carpet in the upstairs living room for congregational magrib prayers. They want to pray together with all their family members. Soon Claudya pushed the wheelchair that Mr. Ferdi was riding in. Alex and Sophia.
"Lex, I pray together," said Mr. Ferdi.
"Me too, sister" added Claudya.
"Alhamdulillah" said Alex and Shopia.
Not only Mr. Ferdi and Claudya, Gavin and Dodo also walked to the living room on the top floor. They want to join the magrib prayer.
"Alhamdulillah Om has been converted, almost to hell, Dodo is not sure doain Om," said Dodo.
"Fat, I am your father now, praying for parents is mandatory" Gavin said.
"But the devil is mostly Om, his prayer takes time must eat how many baskets?" dodo Sahut.
Gavin. There is a reason for Dodo to eat and eat again.
"I just have to be diligent in praying so I can get Humaira" Gavin said with a smile of his own.
"The prayer is because of Allah Om, not because of Brother Humaira, it's called Om not sincere," said Dodo.
"OK, the important thing is that I have to get Humaira" Gavin said.
"If it turns out that his face is acne, how do you feel and how do you feel? Still love or Om want to die, let Dodo doain from now on Om, at least Om's sin reduced when he died later," said Dodo.
"Dodo, what did you say?" tanya Gavin embraces the big fat guy.
"Gak Om, we will pray together, Om Alex and Aunt Sophia were waiting," said Dodo.
"Today I release you Ndut, watch out tomorrow" Gavin said.
The two of them entered the living room upstairs.
"Sister, I'm with Dodo, join the congregational prayer," said Gavin.
"Alhamdulillah" said everyone.
"If so let's enter the ranks we start praying" said Alex who stood at the priest's shaf.
"OK," said Gavin. He and Dodo stand behind Alex with Mr. Ferdi. While Sophia is one row with Claudya behind the male shaf.
When prayer begins. The voice of Grandpa David.
"Grandpa attended Lex's congregational prayers" said Grandpa David.
All eyes were on Grandpa David walking towards them.
"Yes Kek, let's pray together again" said Alex.
Grandpa David smiled. Entering the shaf man. Stand with Gavin, Dodo, and Pak Ferdi in a wheelchair. They pray magrib together. The sight was so soothing. In the past there was only one person who prayed now only Mother Marisa who had not prayed together.
