Bound of Lies

KS: Bonus Chapter 1

Happy reading & ''Double

Sakti awoke from laughter and the tickling of small hands on her body. He found Dareel climbing into his stomach. Sakti smiled happily at that. Like a dream, he could feel something like this again.

"Ah dear Papa amused," Sakti was shrinking her body because of her carelessness and Dareel was increasingly tempting her Papa.

"Papa let's wake up. Don't sleep on." Dareel Whine.

"How can Papa wake up if you're on Papa's stomach like this" Sakti replied.

Dareel also lowered his body while laughing because now Sakti is tickling his son.

"Wake, Mas. Later on bad luck going to the office, your clothes I have prepared in the upper room," said Kirana who approached her husband.

Instead of complying, Sakti looked at Kirana's face carefully. She still can't believe Kirana and her two children have returned to the house.

"Where's Davin?" Tanya Sakti when she realized Davin wasn't there.

"Davin was watching a cartoon outside" Kirana replied.

"Let's wake up, bad luck." Further again.

Sakti got up from her bed despite her reluctance. This time he fell asleep after months.

Sakti's eyes kept on Kirana who was making the bed, a smile rose on Sakti's face looking at Kirana there.

"Love you dear" whispered Sakti, stealing a kiss on his wife's cheek before she left.

Kirana flinched, her cheeks feeling hot just because of that simple thing. Things he never accepted before.

Kirana turned her head however, Sakti had gone missing. Leaving Kirana sitting on the bed with a blanket that she had not yet folded. His chest was still pounding.

"Switch Kirana, take a breath." His words calmed down. He was still surprised by the sweet thing Sakti had just given him.

***

"Come, everybody sit sweet. Breakfast is ready. Brother Davin is still mama's bribe yes and adek should not be envious because Brother's hand is broken so can not eat alone," Kirana prepared breakfast that morning. Mbok Inah also helped, he was very happy Kirana had returned.

Mbok Inah recounts how pitiful Sakti was when Kirana left him. Making Kirana even more convinced that her choice to go home to her husband's side was the right choice.

"Where's my breakfast?" Tanya Sakti who had been sitting at the dining table.

Kirana turned her head and immediately gave the husband a plate of fried rice.

Kirana was amazed to see the appearance of Sakti who only wore a white shirt that he rolled limited to the elbow and navy jeans and white sneakers.

"Aren't you at the office ?" Ask Kirana.

"No,"

"Where do you want to go ?" Ask Kirana again.

"Mmm, um,..." Sakti looked at her two children's faces before answering.

"Let's go, baby, after eating I'll tell you where to go." Sakti did not want his two children to hear what he was going to say.

Kirana sat down opposite her husband. Sakti eats voraciously even though Mbok Inah says if Sakti every day always misses breakfast and dinner.

A smile was etched on Kirana's face.

After breakfast, the two boys returned to watch a movie on television and Sakti accompanied them. His arms stretched out to hug Davin as well as Dareel.

Sakti stood up and followed Kirana who was walking up the stairs towards their room.

"Darling wait," Sakti held Kirana's arm to leave.

"Can I talk to you for a second?"

"Mmm why ?" Ask Kirana.

"Engh... Today I'd like to see our lawyer to cancel the divorce.,"

Seeing Kirana who was silent Sakti spoke again. "I beg you, dear... I won't be able to calm down if our business isn't done. I'd also like to meet your parents to thank you for allowing you to come back with me,"

"But Davin how?" Kirana does not want to leave her child who is still not healed.

"I'll ask mommy to accompany her, don't worry. Yes, dear, I beg you..."

All this morning Sakti said the word 'honey' no longer call Kirana by name. Either because he is still in the euphoria of Kirana's return or indeed he wants to change.

"Just a minute, honey. I promise it won't be long. Please..."

It is difficult to reject her husband who is stubborn and forced.

"All right, I'll be ready. Just a minute." Kirana finally gave up.

"Thank you, baby" Sakti stole a kiss again. This time Kirana's lips got it.

***

Now they've been sitting together in the car that Sakti drove. One hand holds the wheel, the other hand grabs Kirana's hand for her to hold.

Kirana turned her face outside the window, she did not want her husband to see her cheeks that were red just because of Sakti's treatment of her.

"Aren't you pa-pa ?" Tanya Sakti was sinless as she noticed Kirana was just looking outwards.

"Hu'um, it's okay." Kirana answered trying to hide her nervousness.  Like a girl who was just dating, Kirana's chest rumbled violently.

"We almost never go both like this. I promise from now on we'll spend more time together." Said Sakti while kissing the back of Kirana's hand.

In the past, shortly after the matchmaking event Kirana and Sakti immediately held their wedding.  It didn't take long Kirana was pregnant with their first child so they rarely spent time together.

***

The matter regarding the cancellation of the lawsuit has been done, even Kirana wants to participate in marriage counseling and it makes Sakti so happy. Not only Sakti, Kirana also wants to change for the better.

Now they have arrived at Kirana's parents' house. Although Kirana's father was still a little cold but Sakti was undaunted. Still with Kirana's hand in his hand, Sakti apologized to his wife's family. This time Sakti promises to love and never hurt Kirana again. Sakti also deeply regrets the bad things he ever did.

Both of Kirana's parents eventually forgive and ask Sakti to take care of Kirana properly this time and Sakti agrees.

"What made you decide to come back with me?" Ask Sakti when they are already in the car and heading home.

"Do you really want to know?" Kirana asked back.

"Tell me dear," answered Sakti who was so curious as to why his wife was.

" For you are a very good husband and father" Kirana replied without any lies in it.

Sakti turned her face and looked at Kirana as if asking what she meant.

"Yes... You were so good all along. You are attentive and affectionate with our children. Treat me well when we get married for an arranged marriage without love. The bad thing you did yesterday was the only mistake you made during our marriage and in the end it made us aware of our true feelings. Maybe that's God's way of telling us that we actually love each other." Answer Kirana.

"I'm sorry baby, I should have expressed my love feelings to you long ago so that bad things like yesterday don't need to happen" Sakti said.

"When did you realize I was still in love ?" Kirana and Sakti asked shaking their heads.

"When the woman appeared at the event... I'm so jealous and disappointed that you're still in touch with her." Answer Kirana shyly.

"I don't have a relationship with him anymore, honey." Sakti corrects Kirana's statement .

"And what made me fall in love with you was Davin's accident. I see you sacrifice a lot, trying to calm me down when you're not okay either" Kirana said.

Sakti smiled hearing that.

The car stops when the traffic lights are red. Sakti pulled Kirana's body closer, she buried her lips over Kirana's lips and softly caressed her.

"Thank you for loving me" said Sakti Lirih.

Kirana smiled and looked at her husband with a feeling of love.

"Darling, how about we go on our honeymoon ?" Tanya Sakti's.

"Honeymoon?"

"Yes... We spent time together. We never did that."

"But how are the kids?"

"Mami must be happy to take care of them" Sakti assured Kirana.

"Take quality time for both of us and don't be afraid, I won't ask 'that thing, '" from you even though I want it so much. I'll wait until you're really ready. So please, will ya ?"

To be continued again...
