[Note] A Perfect Marriage

A Surprising Statement

"Rud," muttered Love upon hearing the voice of her shaking friend and the embrace that seemed to fear the loss.

The woman's feelings somehow became calmer and warmer. This was the first time someone had given her the fear of abandonment. The first time there was a man who was worried about the tear she had dropped.

"I'm fine, Rud."

"Is it because of your ex-husband?"

Love paused for a moment, her eyes closed as a sigh of pain returned to her heart. But a moment later the woman nodded slowly in Rudi's arms.

"Do you want to hear a reality?" Back the man only got a nod to his question.

"Maybe this won't make you happy, but at least you shouldn't cry over a guy like him. You wanna hear it?" ask Rudi again to be sure.

"Hmm, say."

"I love you" said the man in the army's green t-shirt to make Love stunned to hear the statement.

Love raised her face, looking fixed Rudi who looks calm staring at her net. The woman could not hide the shock. Love's eyeballs bought even as if it almost jumped from its petals. He wants to break away. But both of Rudi's hands locked her slender waist.

"Since when?" tanya Cinta tried to dispel the shock from her gaze.

"For a long time. Many years ago. You surprised?" Love nodded at Rudi's question. It was indeed a statement that was still a big question mark for him. He was always with Rudi while on vacation in this village. This habit had been going on since he was thirteen years old. Grandma Love only lives with her grandfather. They always feel lonely, that's why both parents always pick up Love when the school holidays start.

However, during these thirteen years, Rudi had always been reasonable before him. They often tease each other. Love returns to buyak looking at Rudi as pieces of his past memories pass by. The man always followed him, being his protector when bad boys bothered him, even the man used to be reluctant to go home if he was with him.

"Since childhood?"

"Yes" answered Rudi without hesitation. Love poked eyes at the man. He couldn't believe the spontaneous answer.

"Don't you know our economy used to be much different. I'm always insecure when I see om and aunt pick you up. It's really inappropriate for this village guy to have more feelings for a rich girl like you. But before Grandma's death, I heard from grandma that your family was in trouble. I was sad to hear the news, but on the other hand there was a feeling of pleasure in my heart," Rudi said with a bright smile on her sweet-looking face.

"It's bad, Rud."

A smile expands on Rudi's thin lips. He tightened a hug on Love's waist, brushing aside the distance between the two. While one other hand held a thin mane of Love that covered the woman's face.

"What's like that? Yeah.it looks like it is. But that way I can hold your hand without hesitation. I always hoped you'd come here soon and see me again. But unfortunately you never came. Even after Grandma was buried, you just disappeared. Lookingforyou. I even went to Jakarta to see you, but people say you're gone and ..your parents died." Rudi bowed his head deeply before Love. His face turned soft. It even seemed obvious that the man was blushing.

Rudi took a deep breath to control his feelings. Rudi's heart was sad when he remembered the moment that almost four years passed.

"I wanted to take care of you, but I failed, even before fighting for you." Clear thread from the angle of Rudi's net glide.

For some reason, the heart of Love is beating. That heartbeat sound he could even hear. The faint movement in his chest stiffened it. Love still stares at the man who seems to have lost everything.

"So, love please give me a chance this time. I can't let you cry alone because of that guy. Let me lend you my shoulder this time. Please accept my proposal," Pinta Rudi let go of her embrace and held both hands of Love.

Again the woman was surprised because of the man before her. His heart rate was racing when he saw a great hope from Rudi's black eye bead. The breath of Love is hunting. He closed his lips together. I don't know how to answer that sudden statement.

"A–aku .... Rud, don't you know I'm a widow? And ... You also know I just got divorced two weeks ago."

"Then why? I just want to know if you want to accept me or not? I don't care about anything else but that."

Love is getting angry. He shifted his eyes a few times. Staring at his hand that was still in Rudi's grasp. Feels warm. There was a strange taste that sailed as the man touched every part, in his body.

"Eh." Love quickly pulls her hand from Rudi's grasp as someone's voice interrupts them. Rudi tightened his jaw in annoyance. His hands clenched tightly while breathing the air greedily filled his chest cavity.

The two men looked at the source of the voice. A middle-aged woman wearing a brown toad and a flower-patterned black blouse approached the two.

"Ta–Tante Mira?" Love still looks nervous as the woman stands before him.

"So Aunty passed by here and saw you in the middle of the garden, so Auntie stopped by all of you" replied the woman called Mira.

"Where's mom from?" asked Rudi in a slightly cynical tone. His frustration could not fade. She almost got her love answer if only her mother didn't show up.

"From garden. Today's the cabbage harvest, right? You didn't check their work?"

"I've asked Mr. Eko to keep an eye on them."

Mira only mangosteen while pulling her lips formed a downward arch as if she was mocking her son. Love realizes this. The woman smelled his smile. He was reluctant if the man beside him saw a smile that seemed to mock him. Love glanced at Rudi again and quickly turned to look at Mira.

Goody. I have an idea.

"Aunty want to look at the flowers here? Let Love accompany," bargain Love with her bright smile. He immediately grabbed the arm of the woman who had started to wrinkle after getting approval, and sauntered away from Rudi. In the end the man simply followed the two women with his regretful expression.

"Where did you play at home again, Auntie?" tanya Love opens the conversation.

"Yes, maybe the kid is bored because it's too quiet here for him. He said he's going to Jakarta?"

"Yes, Tan. Maybe next week departs," replied Cinta with a distinctive sweet smile that is so charming.

"Love, did you see that land near the river?" mira asked while pointing at a piece of land filled with tomato trees.

"Why, Tan?"

"That's your grandmother's land. Back when we were still difficult, he loaned us the land to work on. Maybe now it's time for Aunt to return the land."

"No need, Auntie. I don't know about the land, maybe grandma has given the land to Auntie."

"No, Son. Grandma's been helping the Auntie family a lot, it's yours."

Love downcast. He didn't know how else to behave, so many surprises happened today. Her remarried ex-husband, Rudi's declaration of love, and now land. He did not know to be happy or to be drowned in the pain of his heart because of the Throne.
