Miles takes Kirana to Marina Bay Sands. Three twin buildings near Marina Bay with restaurants, bars and cafes in an open area on the roof. When the car they were riding in stopped in front of the main door of the hotel, Kirana turned her head towards him. Miles gets out of the car, Kirana follows him.
“Ki, we have dinner here?” kirana asked in disbelief. Miles laughed a little.
“Iya.” He grabbed the woman's hand and took her inside. They used elevators until they arrived at the roof.
“Oh, Lord.” said Kirana slowly as soon as they arrived outside.
From the roof of the building, they could see through the large window towards the scenery outside. The city of Singapore with sea views, skyscrapers, and large bridges. That day was very bright. The combination of blue sky and sea water is very impressive with the reflection of sunlight above sea level.
But the more beautiful scenery was the woman standing by his side. Kirana let her long hair down. She wore a white dress combined with a pink knitted cardigan. As usual, he wears high heels strapped to his ankles. The woman's eyes were round looking at the scene before her.
“Yeah, you're right. You do not like surprises.” Goda Miles. Kirana hit her arm slowly, then hugged her. Miles chuckled as he kissed his temple.
They got a table on the balcony close to the security fence so that the view of Singapore and its surroundings was clearly visible from where they were sitting. Kirana did not stop admiring the sight. Miles placed his hand on the back of Kirana's chair. When the woman is leaning, she touches her shoulder and moves her hand from her shoulder to her upper arm which is lined with cardigan arms.
The moment he was waiting for finally arrived. Sunsets. Kirana stared in admiration as the sky turned rosy. He looked towards Miles with a smile on his face. Without saying anything, Miles lowered his head and kissed the woman's lips. Kirana leaned her body against him and placed her hand on his chest.
The kiss was so long and soft. Miles' heart started pounding very fast. Were it not for the country's rules that forbid excessive kissing in public spaces, he would not have stopped.
“I love you, Kirana.” whispered Miles on her lips. The woman said nothing. Miles lifted his head and looked at the woman's red face. She complained softly as their kiss ended. “Do you want to say something too?”
“Thank you?” he said while raising both his eyebrows. Miles felt a pain in his chest. But he quickly hid it with a smile.
“Sama-sama?” miles said imitating Kirana's tone of voice. They laugh together. Kirana wrapped her hands around Miles' neck and kissed the man's lips again.
Why didn't the woman say the same thing? Was Miles the one who misread the message Juliett delivered all this time? Could it be that he only liked their intimacy but not her? He kissed her with passion. Isn't that a sign that she loves him? What prevents him from saying the same thing?
If Juliett had refused his proposal, what would he have done? The woman was so mysterious that she could not guess the contents of her head. He knew what was in her heart. For that one, he could read it clearly. But not with what he had in mind. At some point he refused his touch, at other times he took the initiative.
“Say, do you have a brother?” ask Kirana.
“No. I'm an only child. You?”
“I have an older sister.” Kirana's face looked sad as she said it. “What are your parents living in Indonesia too?” He switched the conversation topic. Miles smiled.
“You have great parents. They must be very proud of you.” Kirana said in a hoarse voice. Miles smiled. He knows what happened to the woman's parents. He won't ask about them. At least, not tonight.
“Both your parents must be proud of you too.” Miles kissed her forehead.
“If you are given the chance to be the person you want to be, you can be anyone you want to be. Who do you choose?” ask Kirana. Miles looked into his eyes for a moment.
“That's the easiest question I've ever heard. I want to be your husband.” Miles replied sincerely. Kirana rounded her eyes. He definitely did not expect the answer to be like that.
“Not fair.” he said slowly.
“Why is it unfair?” ask Miles confused.
“If I knew you would answer that, I would definitely give my answer first.” protest Kirana.
“What is your answer? Who do you want to be?” ask Miles amusedly. Kirana looked at him doubtfully. But then he clasped Miles' hand.
“Almarhome your wife.” Kirana smiled as she looked into the eyes of the man before her. Miles frowned. “I will definitely choose to stay by your side, satisfied with your presence even without children. I will never make you suffer. Just your smile and laughter I want to see all the time. With all my heart, I will lighten your burdens, embrace you when you are sad, and laugh with you in happy times
“Why would you want to be her if you could be my wife now? All of these things you can do if you accept my proposal, Kirana.” Miles begged him.
Kirana stared at Miles for so long. His hand stroked the man's cheek and his jaw dropped to his neck. A smile adorned his face and his hands moved to the back of Miles' head. He pulled the man's face closer to him. Gently, he kissed her lips. Miles doesn't like it when the questions are not answered. But if his Juliett needs time, he'll give him as much time as he needs.
“I still have one more day to answer your application, Miles. But tonight, tonight we will make many wonderful memories.” whispered Kirana.
That night, everything was forgotten. They fuck in the room all night. Yeah, they fuck. For him, they are no longer just having sex without involving emotions. She kissed him, touched him, adored his body with all the love she only felt for Kirana. No longer just satisfying his desires.
Kirana looked more relaxed than the night before. There were no wrinkles on his forehead, no doubts on his face, no fear in his eyes, nor were there any tears in his eye sockets. He loosened his embrace when the woman had fallen asleep. After putting her shorts back on, she locked the front door and turned off the lights. He went back to the room and saw that the woman was still sleeping.
Inside the bathroom, he smiled at his reflection in the mirror. His hair was messy and his face was met with red. His smile grew even more as he saw no bite marks or scratches on his body. After brushing her teeth, she turned off the bathroom light and went back to lying down near Kirana. The woman muttered something vague as Miles wrapped his hands around her body and pulled her closer to him.
She's lucky tonight, she doesn't have to tease him into going to bed with her. The woman gave herself willingly. He put his hand on the woman's stomach. Inwardly, Miles wished he had successfully planted his seed in the woman's womb. He can't lose her again. Although he had to use a cunning and dirty way, he should be able to have it. Forever.
She loved.
