BEAUTIFUL REUNION IN TWO

87. The Heart that Has Been Stolen

Tristan could understand that his wife was heartily attending Alfredo's wedding reception.

As a perpetrator of infidelity, Nadia has been exposed to great psychological consequences due to the affair.

Shame to meet people. Got scorned or alienated from the people around. Not to mention the news that blows when Nadia is pregnant by an affair man.

From that incident he could take a lesson, that after further examining the aspects that background his wife's affair, Bimasena is more part of a series of pre-existing marriage problems.

The main cause is in himself as a husband, as well as Nadia as a wife.

He often hurts his wife. Also accidentally makes his wife a lonely woman. And Nadia's fault for not being able to keep her marwah as a wife just because of dissatisfaction with her.

The two of them had to thicken their faces once they met friends at Alfredo's wedding reception.

Early joined by friends alumni, he played more mobile phones, only once responded to the chat friends.

But the thing he did not suspect was, because when the party was almost over, Bimasena suddenly appeared. Not only Nadia who avoids meeting the person, even she is also reluctant to meet with Bimasena.

The pain and anger of having been deceived and betrayed by one's own friends can never be forgotten, even until the earth twice doomsday.

He will not forget several times Bimasena visited under the pretext of playing chess, apparently playing with his wife's eyes and heart. How could he forgive her?

He was nothing more than a donkey who was given a reputation as a stupid animal.

Maybe he welcomed the handshake of the person on the stage when he was about to take a picture, but not just because he wanted to look natural, so that they stopped being the subject of ridicule.

As Bimasena passed in front of Nadia on stage, he did not notice that Bimasena was about to speak to Nadia. But Nadia looked the other way, then lowered her head, avoiding meeting the person's eyes.

He can interpret from Bimasena's eyes to Nadia, if the person tries to build a connection with his wife and deliver a message without verbal communication. He still has feelings for his wife.

And what about his wife?

Nadia's eyes were too honest. Unable to disguise a soul suffering from separation from Bimasena.

Although Nadia repeatedly asked him to joke, but his wife's facial expression was full of emptiness. Not infrequently he found Nadia pensive herself with a mind that looked far away.

Until now he can conclude, if Nadia still holds deep feelings for that person.

But he should not overthink Nadia who has not been able to move on from Bimasena, because it can damage her own mental health.

He must be able to understand Nadia from various points of view. Appreciate Nadia's efforts to be a good wife to atone for her sins.

He does not want to fall into a situation of analysis paralysis, where he continues to think about something repeatedly without finding a solution. For him at this time it is important that there is no longer any communication between his wife and Bimasena.

Regarding his wife who still harbors feelings for the man, he believes that time can saturate the feeling.

But Bimasena's presence at Alfredo's wedding reception was uncomfortable. Because his wife and the man met again even though he did not see verbal communication.

Moreover, once the wedding flower bucket fell into the hands of Nadia.

To her the hope brought by the bridal flower bucket was just a myth. But it did not stop him to be embarrassed because he and Nadia became the laughingstock of invited guests and his friends.

"Take care of your wife, Bro, don't let the wedding flower myth be true" one of the friends teased her.

Maybe it was just a joke that made people laugh. But not a few who associate the guyonan with Bimasena.

When the flower bucket throwing event was over, Nadia sat alone on one side of the room. He knew that Nadia did it to avoid Bimasena. To make him happy and moved by his wife's unwavering attitude to avoid Bimasena.

He did not know when his wife had disappeared from the area. He only realized when his wife called him and said he was in the toilet.

Nadia: Tris, we go home. I'm not feeling well.

He believes Nadia is feeling unwell due to the sudden presence of Bimasena. He also regretted convincing his wife that Bimasena could not be present. Though from the beginning Nadia felt heavy to attend the reception Alfredo.

Tristan: All right. Uh, where are you?

Nadia: I'm in the toilet, left side of the ballroom.

Tristan: Just wait for me in front of the toilet, I say goodbye to Alfredo and friends first.

After saying goodbye to Alfredo and his friends, he walked to the toilet referred to by Nadia, who was to the left of the ballroom.

Not yet he reached the toilet corridor, he was surprised because his eyes caught the figure of Bimasena coming out of the toilet corridor.

Instantly his heart was filled with uneasiness and unease.

Could his wife and Bimasena have met in front of the toilet? Because it is impossible for Bimasena to enter the women's toilet and vice versa Nadia.

"Why you?" ask Nadia as soon as they walk to the basement, where the vehicle is parked.

He waited for honesty from Nadia, if he had just met Bimasena.

"My head is dizzy" said Nadia briefly.

Along the way back home, his wife was more silent with a gloomy look of eyes.

Nadia closed her eyes even more despite not sleeping. It was not that he did not see, if at all Nadia turned to the window, to wipe the tears secretly.

Once home, Nadia was not honest with him. So that when they entered the house, his patience had run out to wait for Nadia's honesty.

"Nadia, is there something you're hiding from me?" he was sitting on the sofa.

Nadia flinched hearing his question.

"You mean?" Nadia who was about to step into the room stopped her steps.

"You met Bimasena, right?" He began to interrogate.

"I accidentally met in front of the toilet earlier Tris," said Nadia.

"Your chances accidentally met in front of Nadia's very small toilet. Unless one of you follows the other," he argued.

Does he need to explain the mathematical formula 'opportunity' to get an estimate of the appearance of an event to Nadia? But he was sure how many times he explained, Nadia would not understand.

"I didn't lie to Tris, as soon as I got out of the toilet, I met her in front of the toilet" Nadia said.

His wife is not a woman who is good at theatrics or lying. He knew what Nadia said was true.

"You accidentally met Nadia, but she followed and waited for you in front of the toilet" she told Nadia.

Nadia did not answer anymore, she just lowered her head.

"Then what are you talking about?"

"He was just asking for news. I also asked for news. That's it."

"That's all?" his frown did not believe. "I'm disappointed in you, Nadia. We've agreed to restart our household from the beginning. But you're not trying to get that person out of your life" he exclaimed with a rising tone of voice.

"What do you mean Tristan? I never communicated with him again. From the beginning I felt hard coming to Alfredo's reception for fear of meeting him, but you assured me he wouldn't come. I never arranged for the meeting to be Tristan," said Nadia in a trembling voice accompanied by sobs.

He stood up from the sofa holding back his emotions.

"Never communicate, but every time you peek at his social media. You think I don't know, you've been watching her pictures a lot?"

Nadia jerks.

"You took care of the white flowers in the front room more painstakingly than taking care of your own husband Nadia. That's a flower from him, right?" said fiery. Spilling pent-up emotions.

Nadia did not respond to him anymore. His wife just slumped to the floor, crying while holding her knee.

"Every human being has an error in him, but you're not trying to fix it Nadia." His voice began to weaken. But his chest was still deflated withholding emotions.

He left Nadia in the living room by himself, stepped into the room, then slammed the door hard.

Then sit contemplating on the bed without changing batik clothes and without opening his shoes.

He looked from the beginning how Nadia could return to her home now. Nadia returned because she and her parents had come to pick Nadia up at Bang Herial's house several times.

Then why did Nadia leave Bimasena, go home to Bang Herial?

The answer is not that they don't like each other anymore. But because of the blessing of Imelda's mother, the mother of Bimasena.

So it is natural that his wife still harbors a sense of that person.

But will he continue to live with women who expect others?

Nadia was like a corpse pretending to be alive. Full-falsity.

He has tried to improve communication with his wife, trying to obey all his wife's will. But what he did was not necessarily able to turn off the feelings that had been knitted between his wife and his best friend. What he does is meaningless. He only kept his wife's body in his house. While Nadia's heart, already stolen by Bimasena.

Could it be that he had to wait patiently for his wife's heart to return to him?
