Dew Heart Traces
The Unvalue Gift
“Sleep,” says Star as if knowing I'm still awake.
“Tonight you are with me. With me who loves you so much,”. I don't feel my tears flowing anymore. He rubbed it many times.
The next day we were still lazing on the bed. We don't want to get out of our position.
Every now and then I smile at the funny behavior of the Star who plays my nose and lips with her hands.
“You don't want to hold me?”
“Ngak. I'm happy with the scent of your hair.”
“Hmmm, I haven't shampooed a month.” I giggled myself teasing him.
“One month does not shampoo it smells good like gini, especially if diligently shampooing yes.”
“Hahahah.” I couldn't help but laugh at her joke.
“You're not hungry?” ask her.
He just shook his head while stroking my hair. “I still want to see my wife's pretty face this morning,” she said.
“You know not, every time you say I'm beautiful it feels like you're a baby ABG.”
“Yeah? Do I have to ask the owner of this hotel whether you are beautiful or not?”
“Hahahaha, there-there aja.”
“Never lower yourself, you must love yourself before others love you.”
“Do I look like I don't love myself?”
“You've always considered yourself very despicable. There are many shortcomings and others, but man was created in the most perfect form among the creatures of God. Which man has no shortcomings? For this reason he was created to need others so that he can perfect each other.”
“Iya, yes. Sir husband.”
“It feels like a dream huh, now you are my wife.”
“Do you not regret it?”
“Well start again, deh.”
“Hehee yes deeh. Let's have breakfast! I'm laper.”
“Hmm, may I hold you for a moment just having breakfast?”
I brought myself closer to her so she could freely hug me. I really like the smell of the Star. We looked at each other as if we had just fallen in love.
Have I really forgotten how I felt about Mas Danial?
“Lana.”
I looked for the direction of the voice, wasn't that the voice of the Star? I was still in the bathroom when the Stars called a name.
“Can I call you by Lana call?” suddenly opened the bathroom door.
“Aih, I'm still not dressed.” I was so shocked when the Star just opened the bathroom door.
“Ngapain shy? Everyone has seen it.”
“Nakal.”
“By ya?”
“What?”
“Lana?”
“Please. Lana was my little call from a long time ago. I started being called Dew in college.”
“Alright then, deal!”
He kissed me flirtatiously, still not wearing a single piece of cloth in the bathroom without me avoiding it.
Is this how it feels to be loved? I pinched my cheek, it hurt. I wasn't dreaming, love was coming to me so beautifully and it was real.
“Some, want breakfast in the room or at the resto?”
“We go to resto. Let there be a different atmosphere, I see behind the restaurant there is a very beautiful view,” I replied in a slightly elevated tone because I was still dressing up in the bathroom.
“Ok deh.”
We arrived at the breakfast place, not too crowded because not many people visited the hotel where we stayed. This hotel is specifically for couples who are on a honeymoon or the like.
“Where do you want your honeymoon to?” ask Stars.
“This is already.”
“I mean honeymoon to somewhere like abroad.”
“Terasu. I'm coming with.”
“From the beginning I really wanted to go to Turkey, but because of my work, so I have not had time to go there.”
“Why do you want to go there?”
“I have greatly admired Muhammad al-Fatih from long ago. I want to see a trail from him and I once dreamed that if I had a boy, I would name him like him.”
“God's Mass. If later you have loose work we go there ya.”
“I also have friends there.”
“Oya I remember, your college friend was right?”
“Yes, Mas Kent, he always accompanied me when I was down.”
“With Mas Danial huh?”
I was silent after the Star said that name.
“I'm fine, Honey. He is your past and I am your future, so it doesn't matter to me. I just want you to be happy with me. You are free to talk about anything with me without feeling burdened how I feel.”
“Nothing I need anymore in the world because I've gotten more than I deserve.”
“Include me?”
I nodded after he said a question I didn't need to answer.
After our first honeymoon, Bintang said it had a surprise for me. I did not expect a more special gift from her, but not the Star of her name if I did not want to always make me cry happy.
He closed my eyes with a cloth so I couldn't see the surprise. He led my steps to a place I didn't know where.
The stars had prepared a beautiful home for both of us. A house not far from my home. He always wanted me to be happy and comfortable. I really want to say that he does not need to buy a house anymore because his house alone is very good for us to live in. However, he said he wanted to start everything with something new with me.
I am unceasingly grateful for all the gifts of God for my life.
“There is one more surprise so get ready ya!” He whispered into my ear. And how surprised I was after we got in, there was Bik Nah there. Without hesitation we ran to greet each other and cried nonstop.
“Buk!”
I can't say from where the Star can find someone who knows my life best. The living witness who accompanied me in the darkness of my journey. People who are so loyal to me selflessly. Bik Nah loves me so much, so do I love her so much. She was my late mother's replacement for me.
“Father who searched and found me, Buk.” She was still crying while hugging me. What should I say to my husband again, he wants to restore all my happiness.
From the front I saw the smiling Star should I see us, I ran towards her and hugged her tightly.
“Thank you so much my husband,” I whispered to him with a happy day.
“Sama-sama, Darling.” He kissed my forehead many times.
I also saw Bik Nah very happy to see me happy with the husband God sent from heaven for me.
“Where's the Orange Brother, Buk?”
“She's in dorm, Bik. We look at it sometime. He will be very happy to see Bibik.”
“It's big for sure yes, Buk.”
“And she's getting beautiful, Bik.”
“For sure, her mother is also getting more beautiful now.”
We cried again as if the memories were replayed again like a movie in both of us. How did Bik Nah I forced to go back to her village.
“Now I am hungry,” said our mediating star who is still nostalgic.
“I have cooked my favorite food Ibuk before Ibuk get here.”
“Yeah?”
And the three of us headed to the dining table. Very beautiful house, I did not participate in the interior design, because I think the Star more experience than me. I saw every inch of the house that the stars had prepared for me.
“You like the interior, Honey?”
“Likes bangeet.”
“You said you wanted a homey home, right? I hope you like the end result. But if there is something you want to change, please just let my team work directly.”
“It's been very beautiful. I'm sure Orange will be very happy to see this house.”
“The Orange Room has also been taken and sent to him directly, so he already knows what his room is like.”
“Thank you.” I hugged him again.
Tonight is our most beautiful evening. We just hugged each other in bed. Thinking about what we had experienced until we finally became a couple.
