Aaron To Khaliesah

towards endings

Ica's change of attitude since entering the hospital at that time, really makes Aaron feel anxious. Sadness and tightness felt to tear his heart, whether what he had done wrong, until his wife was now really changed.

Aaron was very sad to see his wife who did not stop feeling nauseous, not a single food that entered his wife's mouth without being vomited back. And it was painful because the ice always rejected him even to help massage his nape when he was vomiting.

Aaron felt so useless that he failed to be a good husband to his wife. His promise to Lidya's mother and Herman's father to always make Ica happy has failed. The woman was even so fed up to see her face.

"O Allah, what is this punishment for me, I have hurt her many times, I have repeatedly made her shed tears. But he always gave up. My wife loves me so much and gives up all her happiness just for me, but what have I done? I just gave him suffering.

O Allah, if the love is still in his heart, allow the servant to take it back. Let love and happiness grow in this spirit. I just want to be happy and she remains immortal." - Aaron complained in his bow.

***

A few months have passed, now Ica's stomach has begun to look enlarged. But his attitude remained cold. It seemed that Aaron had run out of sense to deal with his wife's drastic changes.

Aaron believes, if this is just a hormonal change. His wife changed just because she was two. And that's what he always believed in to keep encouraging himself.

Today Dita and Danu return to visit Ica, Aaron no longer bothers about it. He is now starting to make peace with the presence of Danu who has now become the lover of his wife's friend.

"Honey, Dita and Danu are downstairs." Aaron approached his wife who was reading a book on the bed.

"Thank you." Ica briefly, then immediately went down and left her husband who was just staring with sadness.

Aaron stood staring at them from the top floor, the corners of his lips slightly raised, carving a smile when he saw the laughter of Ica that never stick from his sweet face.

There was happiness and disappointment that instantly flashed past him. For several months he had never seen happiness in his wife's face, unless Ica was with her parents or friends.

It hurts when Aaron has to see that smile engraved not because of it. Because Ica was never warm to him again.

But Aaron never wanted to make a fuss about it, all he could do now was let the smile still shine, even if not to him.

Dita invites Ica to sit in the garden behind the house, he lets Danu and Aaron chat together.

"Are you okay now." Dita asked as they just sat silent.

Ica floated a hollow smile, clearly a look of concern in her eyes.

"Oh Cha, you must learn to be at peace with yourself. Tell him all your misery, so you can solve your problems." Dita's advice, in fact, he also does not know what problems his best friend is facing, because Ica was never open to his personal life. For all he knew, his best friend was often crying while exchanging voice via phone with him.

"Nothing needs to be done Ta'."

"When are you going to be like this? Soon you will give birth. Do you have no pity on her," gently rubbing Ica's stomach, "she must have been very sad to see no warmth between her parents."

Ica's eyes began to look glassy, well he also thought the same thing. After all, sadness will only have a bad impact on the fetus. But what he had to do, Ica also really did not understand his heart and mind at this time.

"You should also see how hard Aaron fought to keep this going. He's so patient with you, now he's even accepting Danu for not wanting to hurt your feelings."

"A-I know Ta', but I don't know what to do. He hurt me too much." Ica's voice began to shake, but she kept trying not to tell Dita the problem.

"Hurt like what? What a deep wound Aaron has inflicted, until you turn like this."

Ica.

"Come, this silence of yours will only make you both hurt. You have to remember, regret always comes later. You will not be able to reverse this wasted time of yours when you realize that all you crave is a misunderstanding."

"Please, don't fall down alone, you need someone's shoulder to lean on. You need a listener to reduce the burden on you."

"I wish you could share all this with Aaron's mas."

Dita stood up from her seat and left Ica who started as she pleased.

"Mas, we go home first. It's the night." Pamit Dita pulls Danu's hand.

Aaron and Danu could only exchange glances, they did not understand Dita's change of attitude.

Aaron looked back, but did not find the figure of Ica who immediately followed his best friend who had entered first. "Did they fight?" think Aaron.

Aaron drove Dita and Danu to the front, then returned to find his wife when he saw Danu's motorbike that had driven away from his yard.

"Why you?" panicking Aaron saw his wife as he pleased.

Ica just shook her head and immediately left her seat, she walked quickly towards her room. Aaron could only keep following him from behind, because he didn't want anything bad to happen to his wife.

"Please tell me," persuaded Aaron to gently wipe his wife's arm.

Ica did not answer, she was still as much as she hugged her roll. Well Dita is right, until when this misunderstanding will take place, if he does not try to open with Aaron mas.

"Darling you why, don't worry me." she said, then put her body to sleep next to Ica, Aaron hugged Ica tightly from behind, hoping that the hug could ease his wife's grief a little. The only thing he could do was because the Iceman never wanted to share his story with him again.

Sensing the embrace, Ica turned her back, then further submerged her face in the chest of her husband's field. It felt warm, I don't know when the last time Ica felt this warmth.

True said Dita, it was stupid that he had wasted a lot of valuable time, wasting the warmth he had always felt when sharing everything with Aaron mas.

Ica was getting as excited behind the embrace, it felt like she was regretting all her stupidity. While Aaron, he no longer knows how to describe his happiness, for the first time Icanya wants to return his embrace. It feels like Aaron really misses hugging his wife warmly like this.
