Clandestine
Last Day in Paris



“Pagi...” An


a voice echoed in my ear when I just opened my eyes this morning.


I'm boasting


smile, a little embarrassed but also so excited. Reinard is still in


beside me, looking at me with his hands propping his head and facing towards me.


“How


slept last night?” he asked and rubbed my hair.


I laughed


small-time. I know if he's just making small talk, we sleep hugging each other


after what happened last night.


“Very


soundly.” I shifted my body and hugged my husband. Now I'm


I really feel like I have Reinard. Not just have it as


husband in the status of marriage book and family card, but also has a body and


also heart.


“Can I


say something to you?” Ask Reinard later.


I looked up,


looking into her eyes that look at me.


“What?”


“I


loving you.” Reinard kissed my forehead slowly and simultaneously my heart


feels warm. It was as warm as the sunshine in Paris this morning, which was full


with love.


“I don't


ever heard you flick, and it feels weird.” I laughed, sucked


my face is on Reinard's chest.


“Heeeei...”.


Reinard hugged my body tightly. “Starting today you will hear my chatter


every morning Julia.”


“Really?”


“Iya.” Husband's lawful


steady. “what are you ready?”


“Very!” me


kiss her lips softly.


“Oh yes, we


there is still one day in Paris.” Reinard switched the conversation. “What you want


go somewhere?”


I'm berfiki


for a moment, where am I going today. Suddenly I remembered if I wanted to


go to the Ponts De Art, put up a love padlock that engraved my name and Reinard on


sana.


“Actually,


since yesterday I want to go somewhere.” Ungkap.


“Where?”


Reinard rubbed my cheeks.


“Ponts De Arts.”


My leg. “I want....em...putting a padlock.....” hesitate I said.


that's. Afraid that Reinard would disagree with my idea. I know if my husband


a very rational human being, he does not necessarily believe in


such superstitions.


“Bby. Me too


want.” Slowly lightly.


“Really?” me


dilating pupils. “You want to do that with me?’


“Sure. Especially


my wife asked.”


I laughed


sumringa. “Thank you husband....!” I hugged her so tightly.

Usually, I


always alone going to Paris. And all that time I enjoyed it.


Take a walk in the Ponts De Arts alone, see many couples put up


padlock their love and enough to make me jealous or just walk alone in Eifel then


spend a lot of time in the cafe until night and finally return to the


the hotel.


I'm not the type


a woman covered with love. Like I said before that I


I also had many lovers, but I never took any of them


they're going abroad. I guess I was too careful. I just


fear that they might use the opportunity for something other than getting it


my heart, that is, to get all the wealth of my family. Overuse


yes, but many have proven so too. That's why I always


limit every interaction with my ex. They think of me


kolot, because never want to do more than kiss.


I'm anyway


nor is a holiday maniac like Eli. Only once in a while if my brain is full


with a lot of work and I can't finish it at all, and


I think the holidays will be very effective.

Pair of padlocks


pink with the words ‘Julia’ and ‘Reinard’ are neatly installed on the side


the bridges. I laughed heartily, though it was not proven to be true, yet


I hope our love is forever.


“I hold


the key.” I put the lock lock earlier in my bag. I don't need to


waiting for Reinard to say yes, because I'm sure he never will either


wanna keep.


Reinard just nodded, though,


then walk away from me. Calling a street photographer


often being in this place then asking him to take our photos as


mementos.


“Create what Rei? We


do you have a mobile phone?” sometimes I don't really understand the head


my husband's.


“The pair


right, the right photo and immortalized by the right person.” The man's heart


then embrace my back.


Photographer


the one who was more or less the same age as us was smiling, though I was sure


if he didn't understand what Reinard was talking about. The man a few times


directing style to us with French. Thankfully my husband was very


good with that language, so we have no trouble.


“I will


install it on the frame and put it on the bed nightstand later.” I


we took a picture of it as we walked to a restaurant to


lunches. A few photos are in my hands, and I'm quite satisfied


with result. Reinard and I look very compatible here.


“Jul...” Reinards


hooked his fingers on my fingers.


“Iya.” My legow


without looking at Reinard. I haven't taken my eyes off the photos


my hand. This is our first photo of being husband-itri, I mean a photo of when


the wedding day I didn't count because it was a mandatory photo. We are indeed


we had to take pictures for documentation, so our families could also take pictures together


our.


“How about


later tonight we stay at the hotel?”


“What?” i'm turning.


“Sleep in hotel?” I'm sure my face is red now. How not? Shadow


I didn't get out of my mind last night.


“Wagging month


our honey before returning to Indonesia Jul.”


Actually I


I totally agree with Reinard. I also want to be alone with my husband and


spent time at the hotel, but Reinard and I are here by invitation


Marina, that woman asked us to come. I just feel bad


when Marina invites wholeheartedly by giving her a place to stay


it was convenient and entertained us with delicious food, and we instead


decided to sleep in the hotel tonight.


“But I'm not


nice same Ma—“ I haven't finished my sentence when I saw Reinard already


talk to someone on the phone.


“Marina, tonight


we will stay at the hotel....Iya.....please............thank you.....”.


“Where, I


marina's permission, right?” Reinard chuckled as he put his phone in


in his jeans pocket.


“Ih..


I'm ashamed!” I pinched his waist in an angry manner. “What if marina thinks of me


don't live in his apartment?”


“Not going!”


Reinard.


“Kok


will?”


Reinards


facing towards me.


“Ya clear dong,


because he asked me to make sure you slept at the hotel tonight. Even


he paid for his hotel.” He pinched my cheek gently.


“Hah? A timing?


When?”


“Barin.”


I sighed


breath relief. Didn't expect that I had such a good sister-in-law


at me.


“Yakin?”


“Totally Julia.”


I'm advancing atu


the last step hugged Reinard with such a warm embrace.


“I love


Marina, and of course I love you so much too.”
