Bima's Second Wife

Bima's Second Wife
chapter 192



Lily Aruna's.


I don't know how long, I'm here. Just looking at empty space empty and dark. Walking as far as I could, I never found the edge or the walls that were restricting. There's nothing here. Looking up is the same. Darkened. If there was a sky, there would be stars, right? but not here! Where am I actually? There is no day or night, only dark and dense as far as the eye can see. I was more pleased at my place yesterday with the vastness of the green meadow with the wind that hit my skin.


Mas Azka, why did you drop me into a place like this? I'm afraid!


I just sat there hugging my own knees, my face between my knees. How long am I here?


Nah! If this is in the room, I have to find the door! If this is in the depths of the night, I must find the light! my resolve.


I get back on my feet and move my legs, somewhere, which is important I try right?


I don't know how far I've gone, I hear the voice of someone I haven't heard in a long time. But who?


Una, wake! then I heard again he was begging! This time with sobs. As wide as I opened my eyes but I saw no one when I was sure the voice was close, very close. Ah shit! please, anyone turn on the lights, it's dark in here!


The voice kept accompanying my steps, she said she missed me, even long ago. Always looking for me all this time, I yelled at him asking who he was, but there was no answer. Was my voice not heard by him? I screamed again, keeping him with the story. Maybe he is deaf!


Then the voice disappeared again. And so on again and again.


For a while he always accompanied my steps with his story. And I'm getting used to her sweet voice. Sometimes he laughs, sometimes he cries, telling a story of the journey of one's life. Maybe his life, I don't know.


Sometimes I protest and get bored. Tell me about that little boy again. What's-her-name? Una and Bimbim? Yes tell me about them, I don't want to hear a sad story about someone being suspicious! But she was deaf as if she never listened to me, and kept telling me the same thing.


Living with a love triangle. Eh no! Four with the little girl! It's strange!


Haha he is a fool, where does anyone love three women at once? Only one of them would occupy his heart right, and the other was just an impingement! I'm sure of it!


If only there were a sun and a moon, I would know how long I've been walking. Damn two important things never appeared!


The voice came again, this time he told me about the little boy. Does he know Yumna? My son, where is he now? I wanted to find him, Yumna must have cried because I might have stayed a long time!


Yumna mama's gonna find a way home, son!


Lily pov end lil.

"You don't want to, Na. When did you take the Bimbim mas nakutin? I swear Bimbim was so scared that night." And Bima did not stop telling stories, occasionally she wiped her tears.


Ratih and Adi had come yesterday, but they only had one night to stay, not they had the heart to see Lily lying in that condition, but as long as Bima waited for her, the company still had to be held, right? And this morning they came back again because they had to take care of some work that Bima left behind. This afternoon she said Roman, Yoga, and Celia will come together to see Lily's state.


Four more days, Bima's wedding day with Celia. Bima hopes time can stop and make it linger with Lily! She even wants to see Lily wake up from her long sleep to immediately apologize from Lily, at least if Lily does not forgive Bima will feel relieved for apologizing.

Roman and Yoga stared sadly at Lily, smiling at her in light of the closeness they had made in the past. How the two, the three with Adit always tease Lily and make the girl meet her cheek red.


While Celia looked at Lily with a view that no one knew what the meaning of the view was. He did not like to see Bima always hold Lily's hand very tightly. Speak softly, sometimes laugh and sometimes wipe his tears. Celia's heart is hot for her!


"Elo must accept how even in the heart of Bima there is still the name Lily" said Adit surprised Celia who only looked from the glass window outside. Adit leaned against the wall with both hands inserted into the pants pocket.


"Elo knew how long Bima was looking for Lily?"


"Gue doesn't care!" said Celia, furious. The mood was really bad from now on, and Adit made it even worse. Celia allows Bima to come so that Bima is relieved when they get married, but Celia must painstakingly restrain herself from dragging her future husband away from there.


Celia walked away from the front of Lily's room, Adit just sighed seeing the fiancee of his best friend leave with a restraint of anger.

Nila just got off the taxi. His clothes were wet with the heavy rain that flushed Surabaya that afternoon. For two days he did not visit Lily, Nila wanted to know the latest developments from her best friend.


Nila walked in haste, in her hands she carried Lily's favorite citrus fruit. Yes although Nila does not know when Lily will wake up but she does not care. Lily could wake up at any time, right?!


Nila tried to reach her phone from the bag, from earlier she felt a vibration from inside her bag, it seemed like there was a call because from then on the vibration did not want to stay still.


Not paying attention to the road, Nila hit someone until the citrus fruit he was carrying fell along with him. Nila grimaced in pain as her butt kissed the floor. The citrus fruits roll against each other in all directions.


"Sorry! I was not intentional." said Nila as she got up and crouched down to pick up some citrus fruits near her feet, without looking at the person she hit earlier.


"Nila?!" Nila turned her head when she felt her name was mentioned by the person who had just hit her. Her eyes were rounded as Nila looked at the half-bending man and reached out to him.
