Hendra looked at me for a long time, before finally nodding. I could see how stiff his face was, as if he couldn't hold back his guilt towards me.

“Yes, I don't want us to fight over trivial matters like that. You have to believe that you are the only woman I love. There's no one else but you, Sya,” Hendra said to me, he showed his concern for me.

Before long, I realized that Hendra had grabbed my hand to just hold it. He lifted my hand towards his lips. A moment later, Hendra kissed my hand which he was holding.

“I don't want us to fight just because of this problem. Nalia is nothing compared to you, Sya,” Hendra said, he told it while looking into my eyes.

“I don't mind what happened in the canteen before, Ndra. It's just that I thought, maybe Nalia has a special interest in you. Especially considering that if you give her a lot of attention, she might misunderstand the kindness you give,” I said, I tried to explain what was on my mind to Hendra.

“But I don't think so. I do good to everyone I meet. Not just Nalia. Not that I've explained that to you two,” Hendra said, he was flat when explaining his behavior to me.

“I can accept it. But maybe not with Nalia. Maybe you should reduce your attitude of being too nice to Nalia, so that she doesn't develop greater feelings for you, Ndra,” I said, I tried to give advice to Hendra.

“It's possible, darling. Nalia and I have a working relationship. It is impossible not to put communication with her,” Hendra said, as if he felt it was hard to say that to me.

I just nodded, starting to understand the condition Hendra was facing. If he is required to communicate and interact with Nalia, then what can I do. I can't stop Hendra from being nice to Nalia. All I can do is hope that nothing happens between me and Hendra.

Maybe I will pray that nothing can damage the relationship between the two of us. Hopefully in the future nothing will happen that we don't expect. How could it not be, I was so worried about the incident between Hendra and Nalia. Hopefully this is just me worrying too much. I hope this feeling of anxiety won't happen.

“Yes, that's okay. I understand now. Hopefully nothing happens between you and Nalia. I understand,” I said, I tried to give the best response to Hendra.

Although I can't deny that my own feelings are not okay. I'm so anxious, I can feel how uncomfortable my heart is right now. Putting trust in my own fiancé is not an easy thing to do. But, if I continue to suspect him, I'm afraid it will cause chaos in the relationship we have together.

In the end, all I could do were sentences that could lighten his mood. Even though I myself have to swallow the worry I feel. Even though I have to cover up the anxiety I feel. All I can do is so that no rifts occur between us now.

“Alright. There's no need to think too much about this problem. I can't possibly forbid you from communicating with Nalia. But we now have a very beautiful time together, why don't we enjoy moments like this for a moment,” I said, I tried to comfort both of our feelings by changing the topic of conversation.

“You're right, darling. I am so grateful to have you in my life. As if you were there to understand me,” Hendra said, he expressed how grateful he was at this time.

I could only nod slowly in front of Hendra. After we looked at each other, Hendra finally hugged me. Such a long hug, and quite tight. I could feel how pure the affection felt through Hendra's hug.

Not long after, I could feel Hendra let go of his hug. He lowered his hands from my shoulders to my waist. Hendra leaned his face towards me, just to pull my body closer to him.

“I love you, Sya. Through all the differences we have, there's more than I can show you. I love you,” said Hendra, his voice half a whisper in front of my face.

I could only remain stunned when I heard Hendra's words. Meanwhile, my eyes fell as deep as they could when I looked into Hendra's brown eyes. So deep is what I can capture from our moments together this time.

Until finally I was forced to close my eyes because his face was getting closer to me. My consciousness seemed to fly away when Hendra finally dropped a kiss on me. I could clearly feel how close his lips were to mine. Until we played with our tongues, I felt Hendra's embrace getting tighter around my body.

I was out of breath, I almost felt like the air around me didn't exist. I tried to stay in the middle of our kiss. Until I felt like I had enough to hold it in, I tried to pull my body a little further away from Hendra.

Now I can see his face so clearly in front of my eyes. I could see the passion on his face. As if to show Hendra's interest in me at the moment. How happy I was, the spark in my chest seemed to overflow.

Unfortunately, I try not to express my happiness in front of Hendra. I lowered my gaze, no longer looking at Hendra's face. It was as if my heart couldn't containif I looked at his face for too long, which seemed to really care about me.

While my chest was still pounding, I could realize that Hendra was pulling me so he could kiss my forehead. I turned my gaze to Hendra. This time was different, he had a charming smile on his lips.

“Come on back. Do you still want to enjoy the air here, or do you want to accompany me in my study again?” Hendra said, he questioned my choice.

I could hear his voice so low as if betting with the wind in the park this time. I just curled a smile on my lips in response to Hendra's words.
