Bound of Lies

KS: Late

Happy reading & ''Double

"No, you will have to prepare dinner" Sakti replied as she turned her face to look at Kirana who looked so pitiful.

"Let's get down and go," Sakti led her two children and left Kirana just like that.

Kirana let down her body and sat down on the floor with her head bowed and cried loudly. He felt so desperate. Relations with Sakti are deteriorating. Even after trying to speak, nothing came to fruition

Sakti admits her departure to Singapore with a woman left Kirana's heart so hurt.

Kirana wants to explain what really happened but Sakti does not give her a chance to talk.

I don't know what else Kirana had to do to open her husband's heart and mind.

***

Sakti arrived at one of the famous malls in the South Jakarta area with his two children. Dareel looked so enthusiastic and continued to chatter about the toys he wanted to buy. Unlike Davin who has been quieter since they left together.

"What does Davin want to buy ?" Tanya Sakti was trying to get close to her big son.

Davin shook his head without answering his father's question.

Sakti is aware Davin has become more quiet lately. Is it because he has caught himself several times and Kirana is at odds ?

Ah Kirana's... Sakti's thoughts floated on the woman who had just had a great argument with him.

Kirana is a woman that Sakti has admired for a long time. Actually they have known each other since childhood to adolescence because of the closeness of parents Kirana and Sakti.

Sakti always admired Kirana's beauty, but because Kirana was so shy to make them never close. So that in the end both of their parents decided to betroth, Sakti accepted it with pleasure even though he knew the match was to keep Kirana from her lover.

Sakti vividly remembers how she stole a kiss from Kirana on the first day they were reunited for an arranged marriage. Sakti does that because he is so fascinated with Kirana. Sakti smiled when she remembered that.

Then Sakti recalls Kirana hugging her ex-boyfriend right on their wedding day, then Kirana's social media message from the same man made Sakti assume that Kirana and the man had been in love with each other and Sakti was only a barrier for them.

"10 years together, and Kirana never loved me," the inner Sakti in her heart. Sakti smiled wryly thinking about it all.

Everything Sakti did to Kirana was a punishment for Kirana's unfair treatment of her. Sakti is looking for a justification for himself.

"Why shut up ? We have arrived," said Dareel resuscitated Sakti from his daydream.

They arrived at a toy store. "Come on Papa," Dareel tugged at Sakti's hand to enter the store.

" Yes-yes wait," answered Sakti following his son.

They chose a gift for Celia first. Then Dareel chose some toys that he wanted while Davin seemed not interested in buying anything.

"Abang hasn't bought anything yet. Let's want what ? Papa will buy you what you want," persuaded Sakti.

In the end, Davin chose a book of bedtime stories.

"Anybody sure you want this?" Tanya Sakti's.

"Yes, let Mama do it before going to bed" replied Davin flatly.

"Oh yes already. Momentarily Papa pay first," said Sakti while bringing all the items that have been selected to the cashier.

Kirana had prepared dinner on the dining table. He was waiting for the arrival of his husband and children.

Kirana had tidied herself up, a little dressed up to cover her puffy eyes. He did not want his two children to know that he was in a bad situation.

Before long Sakti and his two children came with a lot of shopping bags.

After saving and tidying up what they had bought they now sat together at the dinner table enjoying dinner. Kirana and Sakti also look ordinary as if nothing happened. This was done solely to keep the feelings of his two children.

"What did you buy?" Kirana asked her two children.

"I bought 3 toys" replied Dareel enthusiastically.

"Bag suck Ma, do not want to buy anything," continued Dareel again.

"Why don't you buy toys?" Ask Kirana.

"I bought a storybook. Mama will read it ?" Davin.

Sakti notices Kirana's closeness to her two children in silence and Kirana realizes it.

"Great dad would buy you a lot of toys. Tell me what's the same Papa ?" Ask Kirana.

"Thank you Papa. Papa is the best" said Dareel with a happy face.

"Thank you" said Davin flatly.

Sakti just smiled in response.

"Mama let's read the story," Dareel asked when they had finished dinner and then cleaned themselves before going to bed.

Coincidentally the two children were still sleeping in one room only different beds only make Kirana can read the story to both simultaneously.

"Let's just wait a minute," Kirana replied gently.

Kirana also walked hand in hand to her two children's room located right next to her room.

Kirana chooses to lay herself on the bed with her younger son Dareel because Dareel asks Kirana to be next to him, while Davin is on the other bed.

Kirana read the fairy tale book in her soft and slow voice, not taking long Dareel had fallen asleep but not with Davin the older brother.

Kirana was about to go out when Davin started saying.

"Mommy sleeps in this room with a bitch or me. Brother does not want to see the crying mama again because Papa, Brother does not like Papa diabolin Mama" said Davin surprised Kirana.

Kirana approached Davin and sat on her bed. "Mmm. Adults do sometimes disagree. My brother also likes to fight, right ? But later make up. So did Mama and Papa," replied Kirana trying to give understanding to her son. Although how Kirana does not want her two children psychically disturbed because of the quarrel between herself and Sakti.

"But I never make a cry" said Davin coldly.

"Mama is crying because of the mother. Celia also likes to cry if Brother or Adek is ignorant right?"

Davin nodded his head.

"Let's Mama Temanin Abang to sleep first" Kirana said as she laid her body beside Davin.

Kirana gave a subtle swab to her son so that without feeling Kirana also fell asleep there.

Sakti enters her room to rest, there is no Kirana there. Sakti lay her body on the bed and began to close her eyes trying to sleep.

After a long time he could not go to sleep until he decided to read a book while leaning his body on the head of the bed but reading also did not help him at all, Sakti put the book back on the nightstand.

Now Sakti took his phone, many messages from a girl named Vanya that he had not read at all but somehow to just open the message he was reluctant.

Sakti stood pacing back and forth in his room. He felt that there was something lacking that could not make him sleep peacefully.

"Kirana" muttered Sakti softly and then he exited his room walking towards his two children's room.

He saw Kirana falling asleep hugging Davin.

"Sorry Davin. but Mama has to sleep with Papa." Saying Sakti monologues while carrying Kirana's body in her lap.

Sakti holds Kirana's body in bridal style and takes her to their room. He slowly laid his wife's body on the bed. Kirana's regular breathing indicates that her wife has fallen asleep.

Sakti looked at Kirana's face that was fast asleep. Kirana looks so beautiful in Sakti's eyes. "Look at Kirana even though I hate you right now but I'm still fascinated by you" said Sakti Lirih.

After looking at Kirana's face, Sakti rolled over to the empty side of the bed and began to close her eyes. Without him thinking Kirana wrapped her hands on Sakti's body.

Kirana fell asleep hugging herself. With hesitation Sakti returned the embrace.

Really Sakti felt comfortable amazing and before long he was asleep in his dreams.
