Extraordinary Husband (The Awesome Husband)
Night Woman
A woman sighed violently, putting a white Lily flower in the vortex of her husband's tomb. Today is the anniversary of her late husband's death.
To love? What feeling of thumping can be called loving? According to Merlin no, love is when you have a partner who can take care of you. Someone who gives her a sense of comfort, to shake off the harshness of the world, to protect her.
"Mother.." said a woman who was the same age as Merlin. The daughter of her late husband. Carrying a bouquet of flowers, she took her son who was probably a little younger than Tomy. Strange family relationships, right? But everything is going as it should.
There is no greed in them. Merlin's stepdaughter has her own business in Germany, perhaps Merlin's presence accompanying the end of her father's age is a blessing to her. Can not always accompany the father because he already has his own family, his citizenship has also changed to follow the husband.
"Lena (name of Merlin's stepdaughter)..." Merlin hugged him, not feeling awkward at all like a peer."Here's to you..." Merlin let go of his embrace, reached into his bag taking a check.
"I told you, mistress only. Otherwise, the donation to the social foundation is also good.." sincere words from Lena, clutching the fingers of a woman of her age. A woman who does not use her deceased father's inheritance. Prefer to invest it, keep it slow.
"How, did you meet my stepbrother?" lena asked, seeing a brighter face than my mother.
Merlin nodded, "Tomy grew up well..."
Lena's child who is almost the same age as Tomy knitted his forehead, "When I accidentally met, should I call him uncle?" tanyanya laughs.

The balcony of the beautiful room, directly fixed on the view of the park in front of them. Lena sighed violently, drinking a cup of tea in the former room of the late Damar (Suami Merlin).
"From my father's death I've suggested, why don't you marry again!?" tanyanya, sighing harshly.
"If your father comes back to life, then you'll marry him again" Merlin replied with a chuckle.
"I've been divorced twice, married three times, can still find a new one. You're not interested?" Lena teases mom.
"No, your father is limited edition..." Merlin chuckled in light of his encounter with an old man he loved.
***
15 Years ago...
The arrogant CEO, the rich young man who loved many women? That's not what Merlin's husband is. The authoritative old man who always held his scepter full of charisma, that was Damar the husband of a Merlin.
Maybe in a drama, or any soap opera story. Old men will not get a partner. But maybe the lucky fate of a Damar has a partner who accompanies him until the end of his life.
Damar's ex-wife, who had an affair with him, married another man with a 4-year-old daughter. Land slowly laid out his life, raising his daughter. Until Lena grew up, began to fall in love with a young man of German nationality.Leaving him alone in his old age.
Brain cancer, that's the disease that attacked Damar at the age of 60 years. Not wanting to tell Lena, not having a joking friend just to worry about her daughter.
Until, the old man held a banquet. Some people in the entertainment world are invited. Including at that time Merlin, the woman who came in an awkward state.
Pleasing clients to get investment? That's what management does. Renting a room near the ballroom. Merlin, who is already under contract, can only comply. Doesn't sleeping with a heartless man often do it for a living?
Why wear a feeling? A painful feeling when remembering. The man she loved was just a man who turned his body around, never looking at her and her son.
After the course of this life is what Merlin thought after recovering from the tumor he suffered. The goal? Perhaps by becoming a celebrity, he can pick up his son Tomy, who he now suspects is under Adrian's protection.
Until the room was seen, two drunk men were there. Looking at him as if, wanting to tear his body apart.
And sure enough, rough play, his clothes were torn to shreds. Just need to close your eyes, wait for it to end. Get a role to debut, raise money little by little, in order to be able to raise his face in front of Adrian when picking up Tomy later.
Until the old voice sounded, "What are you doing!?" after opening the door.
Merlin immediately tried to cover his body, with his clothes torn to shreds.
"Our master." said they stammered, busy tidying up their own clothes.
Merlin was bowing, trying to fix his clothes. Not a single tear dripped down the cheek of the beautiful woman. Already accustomed? Maybe that's the cause, covered in mud and sin just to live.
"Are you okay?" Damar looked strangely, giving his suit, to the woman before him.
Merlin looked into those old old eyes, eyes that looked pityfully at the night woman like her."You're not disgusted?" even stranger words came out of Merlin's mouth.
Damar shook his head while smiling with his wrinkled face. "You're human too, aren't you?"
Merlin nodded, more clueless.
"If you're a slimy snail maybe I'll be disgusted." he said with a laugh. The woman before him smiled, a warm smile. Realizing life isn't always bad for her.
His fingers clenched, clasping the ends of the suits. The old man did not look at her full of lust, nor was he disgusted at her.
Slowly Damar guided her, out the back door of the hotel. During that time Merlin stole a glance at his eyes.
Eyes that look warm, eyes that might make themselves subdued.
"Don't sell yourself again. You are young." said Damar.
Merlin nodded, but he was still confused as to how to survive.
Until Damar smiles at him, "I'll find new management for you, in exchange for the loss. Where do you live?"
"Cost is near here." replied Merlin, bowed doubtfully, unable to see those eyes. The eyes of men are different from those of other men.
"Have savings?" his question, answered with a headband by Merlin.
"If so, before you get a new job, you can stay at my house. My house is too quiet." he said.
Merlin just nodded, riding in Damar's car, having no other choice.
***
A big enough house, Damar didn't come back with him. The old man still had to attend the banquet until the end as the organizer.
Merlin's eyes were scrabbling, wanting luxury? No, but think of a way to return the favor. Some black and white photos are on display, seen a smiling young man holding his little daughter.
The photo observed Merlin even deeper, the same eyes as the old man who saved him. It was a picture of Damar when he was young, when he was newly divorced from his wife.
Beautiful young man with a warm smile, a face that had now turned into wrinkles. Merlin smilingly looked at his picture, the old man who saved him. The only person who gave her sincere protection.
***
A few days there, Merlin did not become a widow. Helping the maid do everything.
Gagging at the dinner table with Damar. It is as if the burden of his life were to disappear without rest.
That comfortable feeling was growing in his body, penetrating in the recesses of his heart.
No one realized, the fallen fruit was not far from the tree. Once upon a time, Damar fell asleep on the couch. The mirage in Merlin's eyes looks, imagining Damar returning to his young age.
Kiss the old man's forehead, slowly. "If we live at the same time" he muttered, clutching Damar's old fingers.
