Stepping on the third day of Renata's wake from the coma, all the therapy he did to restore his identity and fitness. The husband was never absent to accompany him who either did road therapy or others.
Jefra waited patiently for Renata and smiled warmly, as well as an incredible spirit, she had given Renata priority over everything. Jefra Tjong, who was like an undead, had gone to nowhere. He was back to health after treatment.
Renata looked at Jefra who was peeping her fingers gently with a smile. His heart could not lie if it was currently very happy. But seconds later, his smile faded away with a sad look.
"Dear, why?" jefra asked with her magnetic heavy voice.
"I only remember the past" Renata replied still staring at me.
"But why does your face look sad?" jefra asked as she stroked the beautiful face of the wife who was lying in the gurney.
"May I ask you something?" Renata said with doubt.
"What do you want to know, I'll answer it, Dear," Jefra replied quickly.
"Why do I never know? About you being an Intelligence person?"
Hearing that, fear began to be felt by Jefra. He knew that the wife wanted an explanation, an explanation of her past lies.
However, Jefra was silent. He is no longer able to speak.
"Well, I'm sleepy wanting to sleep" said Renata, closing her eyes, then pulling her hand from her husband's grasp.
Jefra frowned unwillingly when the tiny hand was taken by the owner. Feeling empty suddenly.
"Are you angry with me?" jephra asked in the silence between them.
Renata was silent, pretending to sleep more precisely. Avoid giving answers. Angry said? Just so you know, this is more than an angry word, he was disappointed. Deeply disappointed, Jefra hides her identity during their past marriage. In fact, the husband is still not honest.
"Dear Enata, I know you haven't slept, yet" said Jefra, making Renata exhale, then opened her eyes slowly and looked at the ceiling blankly.
"I admire you, Jef. How could anyone keep a secret about his work for so long, that it would only be known shortly after his death."
Jefra was stunned by Renata's words. Moreover, with the look of those eyes, had never seen the blank look of the wife since they were together. The last time she saw the highlight was when Renata betrayed her best friend and ex-lover. Long ago, when life before in the world of novels.
Silent.
Jefra mutely, just squeezing her tightly-linked hand down below. His heart raced swiftly, as if it wanted to explode with a sense of tightness hitting his body. His body is like being pricked by a needle of guilt and regret.
Why is Jefra still afraid to be honest? Didn't he ask for a second chance to be honest with his wife?
So why did he come back to life, if he still could not correct his mistake?
Renata closed his eyes again, trying to dispel the disappointment of the silence from Jefra. Until the door of the nursery opened, revealing the figure of the Sister who was carrying lunch for him.
Jefra immediately turned her attention to the Sister. He only gave a small nod as the Sister smiled.
"Good day, this is lunch for Mrs Tjong. It's eaten and spent, yes. To heal quickly. Enjoy it."
The nurse moved the food on the table.
"Thank you, Sus," Renata answered the Sister's orders.
Then the nurse-clothed woman came out, after nodding.
Independently, Renata tried to sit leaning against the head of the gurney. Regardless of the help of Jefra who is improving the position of the bed so that it is in the sitting type.
Jefra stood up, staring at Renata who was arranging a pillow on the head of the gurney. Even he was still standing where Renata was eating, regardless of his existence who could feed his wife. But Jefra would be happy to feed Renata.
"Dear, here I am a bribe" said Jefra to take a bowl of porridge.
However, Jefra's movements stopped when her hand was held back by Renata quite strongly. The two eyeballs stared at each other, with their respective highlights.
While Jefra with a concerned highlight that lara.
"No need, I can do it myself."
Renata tried to smile sweetly, then took off Jefra's hand and continued eating regardless of the husband's hurt gaze.
"Sorry, Renata. I'm sorry for this jerk. Please. I can explain everything, honey. Please listen to me."
Hearing the husband's words, the movement of Renata's hand that wanted to feed herself stopped. Then put the spoon back on the bowl and looked at Jefra, indicating that she would listen to her husband.
"To be honest, I never wanted to hurt you. An Agent must not open himself as You Intelligence," said Jefra staring fixedly.
"Including your wife?" asked Renata smiling coldly.
"Yes, including my wife, my son, my family, and my friends. I had to lie to them all. That's the demand for my work. Moreover, I have many enemies out there, I must not be rash to put you in danger. I want you to feel a quiet life without thinking about any danger."
Renata was silent, staring blankly at the wall in front of him. Her heart was numb, as the husband explained the reason for lying during their twenty-five year marriage.
"I also don't want to make you haunted by worry when I go on a mission, because an Intelligence person has such a great chance of death" said Jefra.
All of Jefra's words infiltrated Renata's heart.
Jerked. Among the truth, but neither do they want it. Anything that concerns an Intelligence Agent is indeed confidentiality. However, years of being lied to the husband was never in Renata's desire.
No one likes being lied to.
"Darling, I really feel guilty. Are you willing to forgive me? Please forgive me. I love you," said Jefra, sounding heartbreaking.
Renata's eyes began to water and glaze over, then nodded, "Yes, I forgive you, Jef. But don't ever lie to me again."
Jefra approached to grab Renata's body into her arms, "I promise I won't lie to you again, I'm ready to accept any punishment if I break my promise."
Renata wrapped her hands around Jefra's waist, then smiled, "I keep your promise."
A few minutes they both hugged. Then Jefra let go of his embrace, looked at the gentle wife's face and pinned a strand of black hair behind her ear.
"Can I feed you now?" pinta Jefra with a demanding tone.
Renata's smile expands very wide, "May."
"Hmm, let's open your mouth" Jefra scooped a mouthful of porridge, and placed it in front of Renata's mouth.
Renata immediately opened his mouth and accepted the bribe. Two eyes in sight. They understood the meaning of that look. There is love there.
There was not much to talk about when Jefra fed Renata. They just looked at each other with their hearts pounding.
Occasionally Jefra stroked Renata's cheek, and the woman grabbed her husband. They held hands, played in between the fingers of each other.
"Awhile, there's dirt."
Jefra picked up the tissue on the table, then wiped off Renata's lips. The porridge is finished.
"Thank you, honey. You're so considerate."
Renata grabs Jefra's firm jaw to get close to her, she gives a kiss on the cheek gently.
Jefra smile. He brought his face closer to Renata. Touching the two of them on the forehead, then whispering right in front of Renata's face, "Hurry to heal, Dear."
"If you continue to be loved like this, I will recover quickly" said Renata, spoiled, with both hands around her neck.
