CURTAINS OF THE PAST

THE HIDDEN MISS

　

　

It has been three days since the departure of Toni's grandmother, the luxurious house has begun to look lonely again. Toni's family from the village had also left earlier this morning.

And since his Milkan left, that was the last time he smiled. He came back moody and moping. Iffah is still there, it's just that they don't talk to each other. Tony spends more of his time

in his study. He just daydreams all day without doing anything.

Chellin also looked sad. How not? She's been taking care of Toni's grandmother ever since her own mother died. Toni was not yet born into the world. So he already considered her

as her own mother.

Bobi knew that, his sadness was the same as the sadness of Toni and Chellin. It's just that he knows better how to hide his sadness so that everything does not look dark and there is still a little light left from him.

“Chellin, until when will you be sad like this, dear?” Bobi approached Chellin, who was still knee-deep on their bed that night.

He pulled Chellin's chin and turned Chellin's face that looked moist towards him.

“You don't understand what it's like to lose mom after the second time, baby.” Chelllin was getting sad.

“Yes, I don't understand. Because I never felt like I had a real mother, baby. But mother, it's been like mother to me all this time. I love him just as much as Brother Bram loves me

her. What did they not give me with love and sincerity? At first I only wanted you, then they also gave me love as much as their own children. I also felt the affection of a brother from Brother Bram.

And now, even they gave me Toni. I'm losing too, Chellin. Very lost.” Something has happened in Bobi's heart. He could no longer escape his grief. That time his tears fell down.

“I'm sorry, Bobi. I was wrong, I was completely wrong.” Chellin seemed to regret her words that had unintentionally offended her own husband.

“At this time, we should calm Toni down. He was really hurt, and very helpless to live his life. She had just met mom, but god so quickly picked up mom.” Bobbi dunked

his wife's face into his arms. He knew the man's grief was much more severe for his wife at the time.

“I'm just not ready to meet Toni right now baby. I know he's still injured right now. And her tears will only make me weaker.”Chellin's sobs started to stop. He imagined how it would take Toni alone after the departure of her father, Bram.

I don't know if I should smile or cry looking at my face.

My faith does not end up punishing my feelings. Will I be able to get through all this?

I thought all this was as easy as removing the tube from my body, but no, it all felt so painful. It's also not like the guts test on tv-tv, which when I'm no longer strong and want to give up, I just wave my hand to the camera.

If it wasn't for my beautiful Milk, I might have asked you back in time. All because of my bad past.

I was like an uneducated child, but my father taught me.

It's not my fault for raising, but my fault for not knowing myself. I shouldn't do as I please and as I please, now I feel the consequences. I am gradually being left behind by the people I love.

Iffah, surely after this will also leave me.

I had to learn to live without him, even though he was currently by my side.

Toni rested her head on the back of her chair that night. He was not even aware that Iffah was looking forward to his presence in his room.

They are so absorbed in their silence that they do not know that their hearts long for each other.

Until they do not realize, that they both feel lonely.
