Being a Night Butterfly

TMFK-39

"How's he doing, Doc? Are there any serious injuries?" theo asked anxiously as the doctor was examining Melinda.

The doctor smiled faintly when he heard it. "Just calm down, sir. Miss Melinda is okay. No serious injuries either."

Instantly Theo exhaled a sigh of relief. Say thank you after the doctor finished checking and went straight out of the room. When only the two of them stayed inside, Theo immediately clasped Melinda's hand tightly and did not forget to land a kiss on the woman's forehead.

What Theo did made Melinda smile. Feeling loved by that man.

"I was already late. Thank goodness you're okay" Theo said softly.

"I'm doing fine. You just calm down. I'm not the weakest woman you think I am. Just a punch like that was very small for me because I often get more than it used to," Melinda said.

Theo pinched the woman's nose with anxiety. "You're so haughty. But you were great. That's why I feel grateful to have a woman as great as you."

Both men were drunk in love. Theo takes Melinda home to rest at home. They've been gone enough all day.

Four months later.

Time passes so fast. Without feeling the time they have decided to hold the wedding also arrived. The event was not fancy. Only family members were invited. Not without reason, Theo just obeyed the wishes of Melinda who did not want a grand wedding party. Melinda is embarrassed if she gets in the spotlight and there will be bad guys dropping her. Although Theo has closed all information about Melinda's past, Melinda still feels uneasy because not everyone is nice to us. 

"How's witness? Right?"

"Well!"

"Alhamdulillah."

The faces of the two brides were filled with smiles of happiness. They have officially become a couple who love each other. The event continued with small receptions and parties until the evening before.

"We're taking a break now" Theo asked. Hold Melinda's hand until she enters the room.

When the door opened, Melinda rounded her eyes. Impressive with the view of the room that has been decorated in such a way. Very beautiful according to Melinda.

"Mas, when did you decorate this room? Why don't I know?" melinda looked at Theo in disbelief.

"It's surprise. So, you don't need to know." Theo came in and closed the door.

The room that was filled with a sprinkling of roses as well as a small candle made Melinda feel at home. Especially the decoration of a goose bird on the bed. It was too sweet for the woman to the point that the smile never faded from both corners of her lips.

Seeing the happy hue clearly visible on Melinda's face, made Theo feel happy too. For him now, Melinda's happiness is the main thing.

Just as always, the newlyweds ritual is the first night. Although this was not their first, Theo wanted to make a memorable one.

"Are you ready?" ask Theo gently. Removing the haircut from Melinda's forehead and kissing her in love.

Not finished Melinda spoke, Theo had already scooped the lips of the woman. Kiss her with love. Touching with gentleness until finally the two people shared a sweat with each other. Fitted pleasures as a halal couple.

"I'm leaving first. You're home." Theo kissed Melinda's forehead and prepared to leave for the office.

"Be careful on the road, Mommy." Melinda shook Theo's hand and led him to the front door.

However, when just out of the main door, Theo's step was stifled when he saw the papa's car stopped right in front of his car. Theo just kept waiting for the papa to get out of the car.

"Ma-ma," Theo muttered. Surprised to see a familiar woman get out of the car. In fact, Theo's eyeballs were glazed over because he already missed the woman so much. Uncommanded, Theo immediately ran over and hugged the woman very tightly. While Melinda was just standing in the doorway with a restless and awkward feeling.

"Oh my God, Ma. I really miss Mama. Why did Mama never come home" Theo said in a raucous voice as she held back tears. A passionate longing finally can now be treated.

"I'm sorry, dear." The woman returned the embrace of the son and did not forget to kiss his cheek many times. He is just as missy.

After a long time hugging each other, Theo broke the hug. Then he looked at the father questioningly. "Ma ...."

Wijaya cleared his throat hard. "Yes. Papa has breastfed. Make up with my mom and hopefully we can live happily ever after. Until death do us part." 

Wijaya's words, made them all smile happily. Even though there was still an awkward feeling, but Melinda still greeted her mother Theo, introduced herself and also hugged the woman. 

"So, this is the woman you married the other night? Beautiful too." Liana—mama Theo asked the thing that made Melinda suddenly uncomfortable feeling. The woman did not reply at all, while Theo immediately exhaled a sigh of relief.

"Papa must have told me everything. Ma, if Mama comes to insult my wife then go home. Like whatever he is, I love him, Ma." Theo spoke firmly. Instead of being offended, Liana smiled. 

"Of course Mama agrees, honey. Mama just wanted to test how much you love her. Ahh .. apparently no doubt. You really love your wife. Congratulations, Honey." Liana hugged Melinda again. However, there was a feeling of uneasiness felt by the woman. 

Theo was silent. No longer talking. He even stopped working because he was worried that his mother would hurt his wife. 

***

Two months Theo and Melinda were in a relationship as a couple. Melinda, who was initially afraid of Liana, is now good friends with the woman. In fact, the two women were like a friend, no longer a daughter-in-law. Theo was also happy about it. 

"What's the matter, honey?" liana asked worriedly. 

They are currently shopping at a mall. However, Melinda was very limp like a powerless person. 

"Come, Ma. My head's dizzy. Maybe I'm mostly thinking because lately I miss Atha so much." Melinda answered listlessly. His eyes look so beautiful. Indeed, Melinda has always dreamed of Atha this week. 

"Maybe you haven't seen her in a long time. How about we go home from here to Atha's grave, "take Liana. Of course, Melinda immediately accepted the woman's invitation.

I'm sorry, dear. Lately, I rarely see you. But trust me you'll stay in my heart forever.
