EVEN THOUGH MY WIFE IS BLIND

10. Livid

Soraya looked glum. It has been two days now the knock on the door from the outside is just the arrival of a food delivery courier. I don't know why his heart missed Dalvin's arrival. He began to feel lonely again.

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

The sound of knocking on the door this afternoon made him sigh. He began to feel reluctant. For him it was better to eat bread as usual, rather than wait for something uncertain.

Soraya got up lazily. He walked slowly while touching the wall towards the door.

"Byawww..."

Soraya screamed in pain. He didn't realize he was in the wrong corner. His head was the corner of the closet.

BRUUK

The sound of the door of the house was heard in the forced open from outside. Soraya backed away full of fear. But suddenly his hand seemed to be pulled by someone.

"Who are you?" Pekik Soraya was worried. He tried to rebel.

"Relax... I'm Dalvin..." The familiar voice in Soraya's ears made her start to calm down a little. His fingers groped Dalvin's face, trying to convince him that what came was the figure of Dalvin.

Soraya smiled. He could not hide his happiness.

"Where have you been?" Soraya asked, not stopping smiling.

"Searching for jobs..." Answer Dalvin briefly.

"You unemployed?" Soraya tried to hide her laughter behind her ridiculing question.

"Why if I'm unemployed? At least I can buy you three meals a day every day..." Ketus Dalvin is angry.

"Sorry..." Soraya felt guilty. He thought his words were only joking, but his words even made him cornered himself by the reply Dalvin said which sounded striking.

"Cckk... In just two days I didn't come here, your face was so colorful..." Oceh Dalvin as he gently pulled Soraya's hand towards the sofa.

"Color? What color is it?" Soraya asked as she rubbed her own face.

"Aww..." Again he screamed. He did not realize his forehead that had just sucked the closet was scratched and spit out a little blood.

"Be careful... Later your nails can make your wounds even bigger..." Dalvin said while holding Soraya's hand.

"Wait here, I'll get you a medicine box..." Dalvin's orders, and Soraya nodded slowly.

Dalvin took the P3K box in the same place before. He sat down again in front of Soraya.

"Your feet are fine, right?" Dalvin asked as he opened the medicine box in his hand.

"It doesn't seem to hurt anymore... Thank you, Dalvin..." Soraya sounded blunt.

"No need to say it..."

"Why?" Soraya's confused. Dalvin's words are so judes according to him.

"How many times are you going to say it? Meanwhile, you need me every time..." Dalvin replied without caring about Soraya's feelings after hearing it.

"Basic sucks... If I'm a burden to you, don't bother coming here..." Ketus Soraya while rising.

Dalvin pulled Soraya's arm, so the girl was stunned back on the sofa.

"Don't be a snob..." Dalvin Sarcas.

"If you don't sulk, let me treat your wound now..." Dalvin.

"No need..." Elak Soraya.

"Soraaa..." Dalvin yells. He squeezed both of Soraya's shoulders, then looked at the girl's face.

"Enjoy your listening device, before it disappears like your vision. Even though what you hear is painful, you must learn to accept it. Because there will one day be people who insult and ridicule your shortcomings, Sora... But don't be discouraged... You have to be able to adapt to the outside world, even if you can't see."

Soraya suddenly sobbed.

"I don't want to..." Reject Soraya behind everything.

"When are you going to lock yourself up in this house? With nothing to do, and no people around you..." Dalvin's words began to soften.

"I don't dare... I'm scared..." Soraya cried, her body shivering at the thought of what she said. Dalvin became a reality, and he could not control himself at that moment.

"I'll keep you company..." Persuade Dalvin while holding Soraya's fingers.

"But..."

"That's it... Stop this discussion now. I'll treat the bruise on your face..." Force Dalvin.

Soraya started to calm down a bit. All the bruises on his face were caused by the impact of hard objects in the house.

"Are you not familiar with a little corner of this house?" Dalvin asked in annoyance. He felt annoyed to see this blind girl suffering so much because of her limitations.

Soraya.

"Aren't Rio helping you all this time?" Ask Dalvin again.

"He comes out often. Maybe I'm making him uncomfortable for my presence here..." Answer Soraya saddly.

"Squeaky... You didn't come to this house by yourself..." Dalvin was curious.

"Ah done... Whatever Rio's reason, he must be doing it for your good... We'd better eat now, I'm hungry, too..." Said Dalvin while preparing the food he brought earlier.

This afternoon they ate without the slightest chatter. But occasionally Dalvin glanced at Soraya. However, behind that pale and tangled face was stored a beauty that not everyone could see.

"After this, I'll go..." Dalvin said as he stopped eating.

"It's time to go home?" Soraya tried to hide her sadness.

"I can't go back to my own house..." Dalvin. "I need a minute, I'll be back..."

"You mean you'll be here again?" Soraya asked unable to hide her pleasure.

"Yes... So you don't have to go anywhere. Just wait for me on the couch, I'll take you there..." Dalvin said as he led Soraya back to the sofa after lunch.
