Honey For Amira

Honey For Amira
After the storm has passed


A few months later, Amira is officially divorced from Farhan. Farhan lives alone without his wife and children.


After her baby's departure a few months ago, Zia had a very severe mental disorder. Because Farhan did not want to make people restless, finally Farhan forced to take Zia and put her in a mental hospital.


Sunday morning, Galih looked neat. After combing her hair, she came out of her room and walked all the way to the living room. Arriving in the living room, Galih saw Farhan already sitting in front of the tivi while enjoying a cup of coffee.


"Where are you going, Mom?" farhan asked Galih as Galih passed in front of him.


"Ah, bete me at home keep Farhan. I'm gonna go. Mom is sick. Please take care of mother, and do not stay mother anywhere," said Galih advised before leaving.


"Yes Mas. Where are you going, Mas?" ask Farhan.


"If it's none of your business Farhan" said Galih.


Galih then went out of the house leaving Farhan.Before riding on the bike, Galih called Amira.


"Hello. Assalamualaikum."


"Wa'alakiumsalam."


"Where else are you, Amira?"


"I'm at the store."


"You're in the store? same Laila too?


"Yes." Yeah."


"I'm going to the store, can't you? There's something I want to talk to you about."


"Oh can Mas. Please do if you want to come here "


"Yes Amira. It's I'm gonna slide down there."


After calling Amira, Galih then slid off to the Amira store.


After recovering from her paralysis, Amira modelled her father to build a shop near the market. She sells women's fashion such as hijab and gamis-fest. Laila's fashion store names that store.


Since Amira officially divorced Farhan, Bu Rahayu and Pak Husen asked Amira to stay in their house. While Amira's house is near the mosque, they rented.


Amira no longer wants to live in the house because the house has too many memories with Farhan. For ten years Farhan and Amira lived in the house.


A while later, Galih's motorbike had arrived in front of the shophouse. Get off the bike and into Amira's shop.


"Assalamualaikum" Galih said as he entered the Amira store .


Amira smiles.


"Wa'alakiumsalam Mas" Amira said as he welcomed Galih's arrival.


Gagging around.


"Well, your store has started to grow now" said Galih.


"Yes Mas. Thank goodness."


Galih had not been to the store or the house of Amira for a long time. Because he was busy with his work. Lately, Galih often comes home late because of a lot of overtime.


Galih also stared one by one the women in the store.


"They're your employees Mir?" ask Galih again.


"Yes Mas. Come on, let's have a chat inside."


Amira invites Galih into the store.


"Yes Amira." Amira and Galih then walked into the back of the store.


Behind the shop was a sofa and a table. Amira then let Galih sit down.


"Sit Mas" said Amira.


Galih and Amira then sat together on that sofa.


"Laila's buying food outside."


"Even from before?"


"Just have them go. There's not five minutes. He also went with Novi. So it might be a long time,"


Oh, thank goodness. This is what I have been waiting for. I want to chat alone with Amira, without anyone to pestle, inward Galih.


"Oh yes Mas. Said you wanted to talk important? talk what?" ask Amira.


Galih looked at Amira. He was nervous as he looked at Amira. He was confused to open this conversation.


"Actually, I want to talk about this a long time ago. But I haven't dared Amira to talk to you about this."


Amira frowned.


"What do you want to talk about? just talk."


"Amira, I'm actually..."


Amira is confused by Galih. Galih looks nervous, I don't know what she's going to talk about.


"I like you Amira." Finally the words were also thrown from the mouth of Galih.


Amira was surprised and did not understand what Galih meant.


"You mean Mas?" ask Amira.


"I love you Amira. My love is the same you are not like my affection for my own sister. But more than that Amira."


Amira now knows what Galih means.


"You like me? it's true, though." Amira still doesn't believe in any of this.


"Amira, I have harbored this feeling for a long time. I've loved you, ever since you were Farhan's wife, and I can only reveal it now. I'm sorry Amira, because I've been so presumptuous to talk like this to you. But I can't hold it for too long either. I will sincerely accept any answer from you Amira," said Galih.


Galih lowered his head. She's actually not good to have to talk to this Amira. But he also will not be able to keep his feelings continuously. Had Amira rejected Galih's love, Galih would have accepted it. Because Galih is not a pushy person.


Amira took a long breath.


"Sorry, if for feelings, so far I have not been able to accept other men in my heart. I'm already quite disappointed with your sister Mas. I was traumatized to accept another man in my life. Mas Farhan is a man who is good at religion, can cheat, betray, and polygamy. What about the other guy."


"Amira, don't compare me to Farhan Amira. Because Farhan and I are different. Although we are one mother and one father, our nature is much different. You should have been able to judge Amira. Because we've been close for a long time."


"Yes Mas. I-i know. But for now, I want to be alone. I also recently divorced from Mas Farhan. And you are also Mas Farhan's brother. To accept you, I'd have to think a thousand times about it."


"Keep, what's your answer ? you want to accept me, or not. How exactly do you feel about me Amira?" ask Galih.


Amira smiles. Actually he also did not want to disappoint Galih. Because Galih has been very kind to him. But for the matter of feeling, all this time Amira only considers Galih it is only as an older brother. No more than that.


"I'm very grateful to you, because you're always there in times of trouble and always willing to help me. But I've never had more feelings for you. I thought you were Laila's Padenya. And all this time I've only considered you brother. No more than that.


" I love you because I consider you my own brother. You know, I haven't had a brother all this time. There was no one I could think of. So I already consider you like my own brother," said Amira at length.


Galih was surprised when she heard Amira's reply.


"So you rejected me? you don't want to open your heart to me? is it because I'm Farhan's brother that you refuse me?"


"It's not so. For now I want to be alone first. I have no intention of going home anymore. I don't know who that is. But I don't know tomorrow. Maybe I could change my mind. For now I want to focus on my career first . I want to focus on raising Laila."


Actually quite discouraged Galih when he heard the rejection of Amira. But that's what he has to accept. He would not have possibly forced Amira to accept his love.


"But the name of a soul mate no one knows, Mas.If we are paired, maybe God will unite us someday. But, if we don't match, I'm sure you'll find your soul mate, a better woman than I."


Galih smiling. He will always respect Amira's decisions. He'll try to understand Amira. Getting close to Amira is enough for Galih. Galih did not want to force Amira to have the same feelings as well as it seemed.


However, from Amira's last words, Galih seems to still have hope of having Amira. It could be, after this Amira will change her mind and want to open her heart to Galih and willing to accept her love Galih.


I'm sorry, but I don't want to disappoint you. But I am not ready to accept the man in my life, the inner Amira.
