A World Without Seams

Rachel immediately went into the house and left Jim alone who was preoccupied with their luggage that was still intact.

"Miss why?" ask auntie when she sees Rachel rush in and see Jim struggling with her stuff.

"A little jealous, bi please this. I'm going after Rachel!" Jim handed his luggage to auntie and he immediately ran into the room. There was no Rachel but there was the sound of water gurgling in the bathroom. Jim sat on the edge of the bed waiting for Rahel.

Before long Rachel came out, looking at the face and a little hair on her face wet. He washed his face after crying, he wanted to disguise his tears and red eyes. Rachel grabbed a towel, dried her face and she sat down at the dresser.

"Are you angry, baby?" jim looked at Rachel from the makeup mirror. Rachel raised her face and looked at Jim's reflection from the mirror as well. She shook her head slowly and then turned her eyes to some face cream on the dresser. He grabbed it and polished his face with the cream until it was flat.

"I know you're mad, tonight I explain," Jim said, kissing Rachel's head.

"Why should it be night?" rachel is speaking.

"Because..."

"Because you're thinking of the right reasons?"

"Yes but..."

"I know you must be covering up something, looking for a reason to lie to me!"

"Duh! No, that's not it, honey..."

"Udah ah, I'm going to sleep. Don't bother me!" Rachel immediately got into bed and turned her back to Jim. He immediately pretended to be asleep. Jim shook his head and left the room. He doesn't want to bother Rachel and it's certain that forcing her into Rachel's room will drive her away.

Jim immediately went to the other room, he took out his laptop and started working from it. Occasionally he yawns but some reports he has to check first.

That night Rachel and Jim were having dinner. Rachel finally wants to come to dinner together after being persuaded Jim all day. His adorable wife's behavior makes Jim even more affectionate.

Fortunately that night Rachel's mood was so good that Jim stared at Rachel for a long time.

"Why look at me like that?" ask Rachel.

"Yaaa... Gemsin,"

"Udah ah! Let's eat first, it'll be cold" said Rachel. Jim doesn't eat right away but instead switches seats next to Rachel and puts their food together on Rachel's plate.

"I want to be bribed" Jim said, holding a spoon in Rachel's hand and waiting for his wife to bribe.

"Just like a little boy, ashamed of aunty," Rachel said, but she still fed Jim a spoonful of rice. Jim ate it so well, so did Rachel.

"Well, I'll be fat because of you,"

"Emang why? I still love you" said Jim

"Ntar nyari whose body is slim again," said Rachel.

"Well, I'm the one with you, anyway,"

"Gomball!" Rachel pinched Jim's cheeks, making the man's cheeks flushed red.

After eating, they sat outside enjoying the cool night breeze while enjoying warm milk coffee.

"If it's like this, let me stay at home first" said Rachel.

"What's that about?" ask Jim.

"You. You don't know every night I see the sky wishing it was always clear. And when the sky is clear, you come practice dancing in the park,"

"You waiting for me?" ask Jim.

"Yes, always. I love watching you practice in the moonlight,"

"So you fall in love with Kaaannn?" Jim Goda. Rachel nodded shyly.

"Yes, we didn't know each other at the time,"

"I don't expect it either and sometimes still think it's like a dream. I want us to live like this until the next day" Jim said with a sad-looking face.

"If I tell you something you want to hear?" ask Jim. Rachel nodded then positioned herself leaning on Jim's shoulder.

"If... We have to separate..."

"Are you talking about that?" rachel's protesting sitting facing Jim.

"If it were a baby, it wouldn't actually happen..."

"Yes, don't be like that,"

"Dengerin first! If there's something that separates us, you want to find me?" ask Jim.

"Your question from yesterday was weird Jim,"

"Seriously! Answer me!"

"Of course!"

"If something happens, I lose my memory or something makes me weak, what do you do?" ask Jim.

"I'll be right next to you! Whatever happens!"

"Promise?" ask Jim to give her pinkie.

"Promise!" reply Rachel who linked her little finger to Jim's little finger.

"Keep if it happens to me?"

"Of course I'll be next to you, I don't want to lose you Hel, I'm afraid. Honestly, I'm afraid of losing you now, too,"

"Why?"

"Let's go, I'm afraid I can't see you anymore. Can't remember you anymore,"

"It's not going to happen, the proof is we're here together. We go through everything together" said Rachel.

"Hopefully we've always been like this, a lot of questions in my head. But all will not be able to answer. Only time can tell,"

"Jim..."

"Mmmmm...."

"You're so weird, you always tell me all your fears while we're fine here,"

"Hmmm... I'm just making sure that you'll always remember me, not leave me, be loyal to me,"

"Of course, you're the one who's afraid,"

"I told you, we don't know what it is going forward,"

"Is there something you're hiding from me Jim?" ask Rachel.

"No," Jim replied as he turned his gaze to the sky.

"Hmmm, you're so scared of something that I don't understand but will happen" whispered Rachel. Jim looked at Rachel inside. He wanted to say everything about her, about them and also about someone named Brielle.

Brielle, the girl Jim is currently so afraid of. If indeed Brielle ever appeared and met Rachel, it means Jim must be vigilant. He could have lost everything before he could have given a lot of memories to Rachel.

"Jim, aren't you sure about me?" ask Rachel. Jim looked at his wife inside.

"I'm..."

"I understand Jim, even though it feels tight in the chest considering you don't want to tell what you feel, you keep all your fears to yourself, I try to understand. But on the other hand, it's my duty as a wife to help you clean things up. But how can I help you if you don't want to tell me? How can I convince you not to be too anxious and afraid because of something we don't know" Rachel explained.

"I'm sorry... Sorry..." Jim hugged Rachel and cried! Rachel realized, so heavy mind Jim that her husband was crying. He had never seen Jim shed his tears.

Rachel just silently returned Jim's embrace. She let her husband shed all his worries and worries. Hopefully tomorrow he can tell you all about his worries.
