A Wound

Chapter 60's

The cold night wind that pierced to the bone, did not make Ara move from where she was standing at the moment.

On the balcony of his room, he poured all his sorrow over the departure of his two best friends.

Just this morning Arumi and Miya left, Ara already misses her two best friends so much. It felt like something was missing from him, thinking of the two who had always filled his days all along. He became his life after his father.

No one understood him the most but the two, the only family he had even without blood ties.

"What's right here?" A question accompanied by a kiss on the head, which Ibra floated, made Ara quickly wipe away her tears before turning to the man.

"Home home?" Without looking at her husband's face, Ara grabbed Ibra's hand and kissed her.

Ibra cupped his wife's face with both hands, as the back of his hand felt wet. "What's wrong?" tanyanya, looking closely at his wife's two eyeballs that look teary. "Hem?" he murmured, expecting answers.

Ara hugged Ibra's body and shed her tears again. " Ara misses them." she said in between her tears. "One by one the people that Ara had left Ara, Ara had no one else."

"Isn't there still a sister? There's still Rissa, Mama, Papa. We are all your family too" Ibra said calmly.

Ara nodded her head and slowly let go of her embrace. "So promise not to leave me" he asked.

"Yes, I promise. There's no reason for me to leave you. I will always be there for you. Make me their replacement. You can pour out your whole heart to me, I can also keep a secret." Ibra smiled slightly as she wiped away the tears of her wife who was still falling. "Stop crying over them. They also have their own lives. Pray that they are healthy always, so that you can meet again later" he added. Who got a nod from Ara who re-hugged her.

"We go in, it's very cold here" said Ibra, who wanted to take off his wife's arms.

Instead of letting go, Ara just tightened her embrace. "Let it be like this, let me hug brother first. Brother is very fragrant," asked her who kept inhaling the scent of her husband's body.

"But I haven't had a bath" Ibra said

"Not what, it smells good!"

"Do as you please" said Ibra laughing, stroking his wife's head.

In the morning as usual, before starting the activity, the whole family at the Nahar Fachary residence will have breakfast together.

Unlike usual, today Ara ate very voraciously. Even as hungry people.

"Mama's fried rice is very good. Can I add Ara?" ask Mama Reta.

"Yes, add. If you need to spend it all," replied Mama Reta laughing.

"Darling, but on your plate there are many. You spend it first." Ibra squeaked, staring at the fried rice on his wife's plate which was still a lot. Worried if only the woman wouldn't spend it.

"But Ara is afraid of running out" replied Ara.

"God! Are you so hungry?" asked Rissa shuddered.

"Darling, you seem to be so hungry after crying all night" Ibra said, chuckling.

"Crying why?" ask Mama Reta worried.

"What the hell, Ma. Ara only misses Miya and Arumi," Ara replied smilingly.

"Yes, Mama understands. Then quickly finish your food, if not enough mama will make you again," said Mama Reta smiled.

"Yes, Ma. Thank you." Thank you."

"Ara, is it true that you're just going to stay at home?" ask Rissa.

"Yes, Brother Ibra also allows it, really," replied Ara.

"But it's very boring. Why not just work?" ask Rissa.

"No, my mother is at home. I want to be like Mama, always at home when Ibra comes home from work."

"The sweet!" Ibra smiled, stroking Ara's head.

"A good thought. It's not wrong for you to follow in your footsteps" said Mama Reta showing her thumb.

"Ceh, I'm sure soon you'll be the arisan mothers who work gosipin people, like Mama" said Rissa jengah.

"What do you mean? You think Mama went to the bar just to gossip?" mama Reta said.

"What else does it matter?" ask Rissa.

"Yes.we are just stories, but___"

"Already continue with your breakfast. Why is it a story of Arisan!" sahut Papa Nahar cut. Mama Reta's annoyance to Rissa, but not with Rissa who seems ordinary.
