Bima's Second Wife

chapter 118

"Na, why does the shadow keep appearing?" Dena fell silent, while stroking the head of Bima which was above her thigh. Their gazes were both empty, but they could still talk to each other very well.

Bima turned herself to look at Dena's face from below. They look at each other. Dena smiled making Bima smile too.

"Sorry, yeah. I have hurt you. Tomorrow I'll see Rio, hem?" Dena nodded without removing the smile on her face.

"Ma?"

"Yes?"

"In the drawer there's a lot of drugs, what drugs?" Dena was surprised, but immediately covered her nervousness.

"vitamins, mom. Blood-boosting drugs are the same as sleeping pills" said Dena. His chest skipped a beat as it was again lying.

"You sick?"

"No, the doctor says it's just exhaustion."

Tonight it's Bima's time to go home to Lily's. It was hard to remember what Rio said, the psychiatrist who is also Bima's good friend."Never deny the feeling in your heart. Just enjoy the flow!" So what does that mean? Bima was still confused but she just complied and kept doing her part. Rio said Bima should find out what happened to her heart.

"Mas, are you okay?" lily asked as she looked at Bima into the kitchen to grab a drink. After yesterday Bima came home, and today he did not work at all. Lily thought Bima wouldn't come here.

"I'm not pa-pa" said Bima then keep a glass in the sink and step out of the kitchen, but three seconds later she returned and headed for the sink. Lily watched Bima in surprise as Bima started to light the tap water.

"Let Lily do the washing, mas!" Lily moved out of her chair when she saw that Bima had already picked up the sponge and dish soap.

"It has. I can too. Only Adit can do the dishes!" There was a tone of dislike from Bima, but a second later the activity stopped because the glass in his hand fell and rolled to the edge of the sink.

And prang!!!

Lily was startled and reflexively approached and squatted down to pick up the broken glass scattered on the floor.

"Awas mas, don't get to the inject!" exclaim Lily. Bima watched his steps and then started to retreat.

"Aww." Lily's fingers bled when she accidentally held the sharp part of the broken glass. Bima immediately approached and took Lily's hand and sucked the blood coming out of Lily's finger. Lily just looked at Bima with a meaningful gaze.

Lily took the broom and cleared up the mess that Bima made.

"Sorry." said Bima who was still standing in his place. Lily smiled.

"No pa-pa." then resumed his work.

Bima and Lily both could not sleep in their rooms. They fought in their own minds.

Bima decided to go to the tv room. Slide the table and roll out a thin mattress on the floor. Turn on the tv in a slow voice. The midnight movie accompanied her moment by second time.

Lily was silent in the middle of the stairs as she was going down to fetch water. Seeing the TV on and Bima who was sitting under a chair, replacing the channel on tv with random. Lily continued her steps towards the kitchen. Make two hot choco for himself and Bima. Hopefully with hot chocolate he can pick up his sleep soon.

Bima turned her head as Lily placed the hot chocolate on the table that she had moved.

"Where are you going?" bima asked as Lily was about to step up.

"To the room." Bima patted the spot next to him. Lily was speechless still with the hot brown cup in her hand. Once again Bima patted the thin mattress underneath.

Lily according to him sat beside Bima some distance away.

Bima shifted her seat closer towards Lily, until their arms stuck together. It almost made Lily spill the chocolate in her hand out of nervousness. His chest was pounding hard.

Bima leaned her head on Lily's shoulder. Lily was silent. His chest was beating fast and unbecoming.

"Can't sleep" said Bima suddenly. "Temenin yes. I'm afraid." - Lirih Bima.

Is it possible that Lily scared him that night? Lily felt guilty. He kept his brown cup on a small table next to the sofa right near the decorative lamp.

"Sorry, about that time. Lily won't want to kidutin-nakutin Bima anymore." he regretted. Bima smiled softly.

"It's not because of that." Lily frowned not understanding. "But because of a little girl..." Bima stopped his words. "That's it!" bima said at last.

They both fell silent. No one wants to talk. Until the movie ends. Lily realized that Bima was asleep. His snoring voice sounded smooth. Breath regular. Lily did not dare to move because she did not want to disturb Bima's sleep. His face was peaceful with a hint of black curls under his eyes. Surely Bima was frightened and could not sleep well from yesterday.
