CURTAINS OF THE PAST

NIGHTFALL

Iffah slowly opened her eyes that felt a little sore due to lack of sleep for a few days. He was so surprised to find himself already asleep on the bed with a thick blanket stretched over his tired body.

Where's Antoni?~ Murmured when he did not find the figure of her husband there.

"Antonne..." Call her down from the bed and move towards the bathroom in the room.

"Antonnii... I'm." I'm the." Call her again while pulling the bathroom doorknob. Her husband was not there either.

Is Antoni coming out?~ Iffah looked very worried and rushed towards the room door.

When he opened the door, Toni stood there.

"Antoni.." Call him soft. Antoninya's face looked pitiful at the time. Toni flung her body and hugged Iffah so tightly.

"S-sa-yang... You're okay, right?". Iffah asked nervously. His worries are growing.

"I've lost Milka for good, baby". Bisik Toni bitter. His voice is getting louder.

Iffah gently stroked Toni's back for a moment, and then she closed the door again. Gently, Iffah removed Toni's embrace from her body and held her husband's arm towards the bed.

"Is it so painful?" Iffah brushed Toni's cheek and raised her face in front of her.

"Sakiits." Sahut's short. But her tears grew louder in an instant.

"Do you want the cure?."Iffah asked again and stared intently at Toni.

Toni nodded slowly.

"Take ablution' Darling, I'll prepare a prayer mat for us." Iffah's command was so gentle as he stood before Toni. "We must ask Him for medicine, isn't He the one who gave us pain?." Iffah said with a smile and showed how wise she was at that time as Toni's wife.

Toni sobbed, she hugged the belly of Iffah that was parallel to her head. "Thank you, honey." Whispers watered.

"Thank you for my handsome husband." Reply Iffah while gently stroking her husband's head. "Thank you for sharing your pain with me." Added again.

Toni releases Iffah's body. He's risen. With gontai steps, he went to the bathroom to ablaze as his wife suggested.

Already in the evening junction. Toni and Iffah face the Creator of the World and its Seisi. The Pain Giver for His Servant, but also the Owner of the Medication for that pain.

Not once did the tears of Toni and Iffah stop flowing when he laid his hands on the giver. They were so solemn in the day of the Hearer their do'a-do'a.

All the complaints just whirred from Toni's mouth. He complained of all his pain as punishment for his sin. He was so resigned before Him that he was invisible to anyone's eyes. He felt so humiliated at that time.

But they were so sure that God was embracing and holding them.

Kemil opened the door of his room slowly from outside. His face was still moist and slightly bent at that time.

But he gasped when he saw his wife sitting on their bed, nursing their little son who took care of them a little.

Kamelia who noticed Kemil's arrival, immediately threw her smile that was more than a month away hidden.

"Dad is back. Come on come on, Dad. Cakra misses you so much." Greet Kamelia with her spoiled tone.

Kemil was increasingly distrustful of what he saw and heard at the time. He continued to stare at the doorway of the room while rubbing his face violently.

"Yeah... Why are you still standing there? Come on come here." Kamelia's birthday further sharpened her smile.

Kemil was surprised to hear that. He started to return Kamelia's smile and closed the door again.

Slowly, Kemil approached Kamelia without blinking his red eyes at the time.

"Darling..." Kemil seemed to still not believe in his Kameli who so suddenly became sweet in front of him.

Kamelia patted the bed next to her, hoping Kemil would sit there.

"Darling.." Call Kemil again started to smile broadly and hugged his Kameli so tightly. "You're okay, aren't you, baby? You're no longer delirious, are you?" Ask so happily.

"I'm fine, baby. It's just that Dedek Cakra will definitely be uncomfortable if you flank like this." Camellia.

"Oh, God, I'm sorry, son." Kemil gasped at the loud snoring coming out of the tiny baby's mouth.

Many times Kemil shrinks Cakra's forehead. But suddenly his tears just flowed back from his narrowed eyes.

He slightly sobbed because of it, his memory returning to his beautiful and chatty little daughter.

"Sorry Dad, son" He whispered softly as he dropped his head on Kamelia's thigh. "Sorry Dad, baby." Kemil flanked his Kameli Knee with his arm and so tightly.

"Dear, I know he means a lot to you. For all of us. Even for Tony. Toni's grief is also greater today. He must have considered all of this as punishment for him. He even looked so beaten. Not only did he lose our Milka, he had already lost many of the people he cared about for these few years.

And I, I was wrong to ignore your feelings all this time. I was so selfish thinking about my own feelings. I know you love Milka more than I love her. You're the best dad who didn't separate him from Toni.

I can't sleep without Milka. While Milka, she can't sleep without you.

It should have been from the beginning, but I'll say it now. Thank you for being a father to Milka." Kamelia came back sobbing. He hugged the chakra that was still in his arms at that time.

The pain again moved their hearts. Only, they did not let the pain rule their minds.
