The Too Late Regret

"Grandfather" said Alex and Sophia together. They lowered their eyes in shame to make fun of David's grandfather.

"Good, it turns out you're at home Alex," said Grandpa David.

Alex raised his head.

"Yes dong Kek, there is a wife left behind" said Alex.

"Sophia, if your husband's messing around, say grandpa" Grandpa David said.

Sophia raised her head.

"Yes Kek" Sophia said.

"Listen Alex, don't waste anyone loving and loving you, he'll never come back" said Grandpa David. His face turned gloomy. The look of sadness on his old face that had begun to wrinkle.

"Definitely Kek, I won't waste Sophia" Alex said.

Grandpa David nodded. Left both. Sophia and Alex were in the room. Sophia was silent thinking about Grandpa David's words earlier. Like a regret. Seen from the expression on his face.

"Darling why?" ask Alex.

"Father, do you want to be tried?" ask Sophia.

"Yes dong Bu Doctor," replied Alex.

Alex and Sophia returned to their room. They sit on the bed. Sophia patiently treated the bruise on Alex's cheek. Apply wound medicine for bruising.

"It hurts?" ask Sophia.

"Why would it hurt to look at your face and look at Sophia" said Alex.

"Don't it hurt?" ask Sophia. He started to brush a little. Intentionally to ensure.

"Love, slow down" complained Alex.

"So he said it didn't hurt, as long as he looked at my face" Sophia said.

"It doesn't hurt, especially if ...?" Alex takes Sophia's hand. Dropped him in bed.

"Mas" said Sophia looking into Alex's once cold eyes now full of warmth for her.

"Yes, baby" said Alex who also looked into his eyes. The eyes of both are intertwined. It radiates deep love.

Suddenly Sophia tickled Alex's chest. Make it cheerful. Alex got out of bed unable to stand the tingle. Sophia continued to pursue him.

"Honey amused," said Alex ran pursued Sophia.

"Times?" Sophia continued to chase Alex to the corner of the room. He resigned. But as Sophia approached, Alex caught Sophia, hugging her.

"Because" said Alex.

"Mas" said Sophia.

"You can't move baby, I can only kiss her" Alex said, showering Sophia with kisses all over Sophia's face.

"Geez," said Sophia.

They also lie in bed after tired of joking. Regulate breath. Alex pulls Sophia's body to get closer to him. Embrace Sophia while talking to her.

"Why do I feel like Grandpa's words are so profound?" ask Sophia.

"It's because grandpa lost his grandmother, the person he loved the most" Alex replied.

"Grandmother must be a good person, until grandfather was so lost when he was not on his side" said Sophia.

"My grandmother was a very nice person. He's an Ustadzah. Teaching at a pesantren. My grandfather was like me. His job is drunk, gambling, women's play. During his life, Grandpa always hurt Grandma. But Grandma never left him. Always by his side. Until the end of his breath, it was only then that grandfather realized how much grandma meant. But it's too late" Alex said.

Sophia is saddened to hear Alex tell her the story of her grandparents.

"Since Grandma's death, grandfather swore to make up for all the time he missed. My grandfather repented and started his life. Babysit dad while working. With the savings secured by my grandmother, he started his first business and is now a big company. In other words, the kindness of grandma is still felt today," said Alex told me everything.

"Grandmother of a great man, may Allah forgive all her sins, ease the torment of her grave and place her in the best place, amen," Sophia said.

"Amin" said Alex.

"Oya Mas there is one more thing I want to ask," said Sophia.

"What dear?" ask Alex.

"So where did it come from? Why is Mas's cheek getting bruised?" ask Sophia.

Alex was silent for a moment. Thinking about the problem, he almost got out of control and beat Luis to death. Fortunately, she remembered Sophia. His emotions subsided even though Alex was still upset and angry at Luis who had dared to harass his wife.

"I went to see Luis" Alex replied.

"What's? Did you go see Luis?" Sophia surprised. He hasn't told us in detail about his meeting with Luis but Alex seems to know.

"I know everything Luis did to you, including about the waqf land," Alex said.

"I'm sorry, ma'am" said Sophia.

Alex stroked Sophia's cheek. He knew his wife was very independent and tried to solve her problems well but it was all Luis took advantage of.

"Dear, next time don't meet Luis without me or Secretary Wang" Alex said.

Sophia nodded.

"What did you do to get bruised?" ask Sophia.

Cup

One kiss landed on Sophia's forehead.

"Yes defend you dear, I will not let anyone dare hurt you, if I need to break all the bones," said Alex.

Sophia took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. She knew her husband just wanted to defend his pride.

"Thank you, but don't repeat, I don't want anything to happen to you" Sophia said.

"Yes, baby" said Alex.

That night Alex and Sophia begin to build their love foundations. Start the beginning of a true love story. Carve a beautiful story together in the beauty of sincere love and affection.

***

That morning Sophia was cooking in the kitchen. He cooked breakfast alone because Bi Siti went to the market and Bi Inem was not feeling well. Sophia looks troubled. Cooking so many menus. Marisa's mother deliberately told her to cook a lot because her friends would have breakfast together at home. Marisa's mother was doing gymnastics with her social friends on the front page. That morning Grandpa David was jogging outside the house. Mr. Ferdi hasn't come home yet. David was staying at his friend's house, while Alex was working on his office work in his upstairs study. He was deliberately on leave to be with Sophia but the office work still had to be completed first.

Sophia's hands here and there were frying, sauteing, steaming, burning and baking all the ingredients she prepared from earlier. He started sweating. With his own power the hassles of cooking everything. Moreover, in-laws and friends will have breakfast after gymnastics.

"Hawking?" ask Claudya.

"Yes, Bi Siti is back in the market, while Bi Inem is sick" Sophia replied.

Suddenly Claudya helps Sophia. He replaced Sophia's duties. Split their work in two. Sophia smiling. Unexpectedly Claudya who used to tease him and did not like Sophia actually helped him cook.

"I don't know if it's good yet" Claudya said in a flat tone. He still holds the prestige of having to look familiar with Sophia.

"Oh, let the sister taste," Sophia said. He's approaching Claudya. Tasting the cooking cooked by him.

"Emm ..., good, just a little less added sugar," said Sophia.

"Small sugar, right?" ask Claudya back.

Sophia nodded.

Claudya did what Sophia had told her to do. Seeing that Sophia was happy. It may take some time for everyone to accept someone they don't like into their life.

Sophia is back to cooking. Claudya was very helpful to him. All dishes are cooked on time. Sophia put all the food she cooked on the table as well as Claudya. He helped Sophia. Organize all the food neatly.

"Claudya thank you for helping my sister" Sophia said.

"I'm helping you because of my debt last night, don't think more of it" Claudya said.

Sophia nodded. It doesn't matter that Claudya is still being jaim to him. Sophia believes Claudya will accept Sophia as her sister-in-law.

Before long Marisa's mother and her social friends come inside. They filled the dining room. Sit in their respective chairs. Sophia was still standing as all the seats were full.

"Marisa who?"

"My daughter" replied Marisa's mother.

"What true? Rich time maid."

"Don't have clothes that are bagusan, tacky, Alex's time tastes so."

Sophia let them babble. He's not at all hurt. The business world has made him very immune to the abuse that heats his ears.

I don't know why Claudya woke up from her seat.

"The person you despised was Sophia Thalia, a great businesswoman, not just a wife who spent her husband's possessions to show off" said Claudya.

Sophia was stunned to see Claudya defending her. Usually Claudya always mocked Sophia when bullied family members. But now standing in front of them, cleared his brother-in-law's good name.

"Claudy!" mom Marisa Banging.

Claudya just fell silent then left the dining table. He runs into Alex who is about to head to the dining room. His steps stopped looking at Alex.

"Look at your wife being insulted by them, you should be able to take care of her" Claudya said. Not yet Alex returned his words, he walked back. Go upstairs.

Alex was surprised by Claudya's words. Just realized his mother invited his social friends gymnastics and breakfast together at home. Alex headed straight for the dining room. But what he saw left Alex stunned.
