Old eyes slowly opened, staring at the beautiful woman clasping her fingers.
"Sorry..." Merlin falls, shocked to learn that Damar suddenly awakens from his sleep.
"It's okay," the wrinkled face smiled before him, ruffling his hair. Then got up from the sofa, walked holding his head towards his room.
The woman ran over quickly, rubbing him, "You sick?" tanyakanya.
Damar nodded, smiling faintly, "I'm old, so it's only natural to have many illnesses..."
Merlin looked pityfully at him, accompanied only by the waiter there. Not having any relatives, guiding her slowly towards the room. Only the man looked tough, and Damar's shoes and socks were taken off.
"Take the medicine in the drawer." he said, Merlin nodded, pouring water. Help her drink.
The drugs were quite large, some bottles were in the drawer, a type of medicine he didn't know about.
"Uuuueekk.." The old man suddenly vomited. Merlin stroked his nape quietly without disgust,
"Take everything out." he said holding Damar's fingers, trying to strengthen him.
"Aren't you disgusted?" the words were like repeated by Damar, staring at the blanket, his clothes were almost all covered in vomit.
Merlin shook his head then smiled, "You're human aren't you? I would probably be disgusted if you were a slimy snail," Damar's words were repeated by him.
Perhaps the warmth he wanted, was hidden behind the wrinkled skin clad in old body before him.
Damar fell silent, a drop of his tears flowing by him. Clasping back the fine fingers of a woman who accompanied him these few days. Feeling no longer alone.
The woman smiled, helped him lie down, changed his thick blanket, and his clothes were dirty. There was absolutely no disgust at all, clearing the wrinkled body slowly.
If this disease does not exist, if we live in the same age... My mother was down, trying to smile. Realizing his old self, he would not be able to have a woman with a beautiful face in front of him.
Won't be liked by Merlin? But no one understands the heart of man. Merlin's heart had melted from the beginning, in the eyes of the man before him. Someone he wanted to anchor his heart, accompany his days. A man who is like warm sunlight.
However, would Damar like a comfort woman like her? Was Damar not going to assume as badly as everyone, looking at Merlin as a treasure crazy woman who liked old men? But, the comfortable feeling that Merlin felt was real, even though simple life was okay, as long as he could be with a man who truly loved him sincerely. Can take care of himself and Tomy later.
***
A passionate romance? No, just a simple love relationship. Something they've been up to for a few months. Merlin has already debuted as a celebrity starring in several film titles. Beautiful, seductive body, yet never looked at any man.
Even a producer or businessman as rich as Damar once tried to get close to him. Surely they were much younger, than the old man. There was never anything that Merlin was interested in.
Every day after filming or shooting they had dinner together inside the house. Celebrities beautiful, young, already able to live independently.
Damar just smiled faintly, realizing maybe someday, Merlin would find a suitable partner. Leaving him back to life alone.
The old man walked back to the toilet, spewing out his entrails. His head hurt even more. His body felt limp, collapsed, closed his eyes.
***
The wrinkled eyelids re-open, the breathing apparatus attached to them. The face of the beautiful woman was seen again, this time crying out her tears, roaring like a child.
"Don't cry." she said in a weak tone.
"Brain cancer? Is there no way to cure it?" tanyanya, clutching Damar's fingers.
Damar shook his head, "I'm too old to have surgery, chemotherapy I'm tired." he said.
"Let's get married!! You need to heal..." Merlin enthusiastic.
Damar tried to smile shaking his head, "If it is because of pity, you should not. You're young, your future is long..."
"I'm rejected?" Merlin knitted his forehead.
Damar again shook his head slowly, "It's not so I.." his words stopped, Merlin walked quickly away from his ward.
The old man only shed his tears, his body too weak to get up, chasing after Merlin. Silently staring at the door shut, "I'm starting to love you... But your future is still long, to get married out of pity,"
***
But unexpectedly, Merlin came back with two maps, a bouquet of flowers, and a box containing a pair of rings.
"It's all the completeness, the pre-wedding agreement, I won't take any gono-gyi property at all if we part. You just sign .." said Merlin thrust the first map.
"This is complete data on my health, I have absolutely no sexually transmitted diseases" he said.
"This is our wedding ring, I chose it myself...I love you.." he said sincerely, kissing the wrinkled cheeks in front of him.
"I'm being proposed?" Damar laughed a little, smiling at him.
Merlin nodded, "I love you. So try to heal, in order to feel more of my love.." His face looked serious, hugging Damar, while shedding tears.
Beautiful women, have a good career with a seductive body, coveted by many men. Ended up liking old men? But that's the truth, Merlin found the only miracle of his life, where he took refuge from the blazing sun. Old hands she loved.
***
But the old tree will be weathered, the leaves will fall slowly...
Simple marriage, which is not covered by the media. Hold a reception attended by only a few business associates. The flutter of people sounded.
"Like his grandfather and grandson..."
"The room of the charismatic old man, now I see him like a perverted old man who likes young leaves..."
"I didn't expect, Merlin is a clever materialistic woman. Married a rich old widower, just to get his fortune..."
"Merlin married an old businessman? Maybe it's compulsion?"
And many more scorn about the different age couples. Merlin did not rub her, both of them lived full of smiles, clasping each other's hands.
Bed satisfaction? No, it's not important to Merlin. Doing it if her husband wanted her to, otherwise, lying in bed together recounted the days they lived, full of laughter.
Damar grabbed the tissue, covering his nose with a nosebleed. The blood just kept flowing nonstop. Tired already? His body was tired of the pain. But the woman beside him helped wipe using tissue, removing it without awkwardness.
He could not bear to leave his wife, a beautiful face that looked young. Tiringly delicate hands, caring for, loving him.
"Hold on, I love you." Her cries would be heard whenever Damar was in pain from a malignant cancer in his brain.
Maybe that's what extended his life, even if only a few years.
***
Until, Merlin came home in a state of chaos. Hugged her husband's body.
"Help me .." he said softly, thinking that the corpse of the teenager found in the street was his son, although it was not.
However, it was able to make Merlin make up his determination to immediately pick up Tomy who he believed was at Adrian's house.
"What's wrong?" Damar returned his embrace, patting his back soothingly.
"Sorry, hiding it I meant to tell you, after raising money to pick him up." he said with tears beginning to flow.
Damar let go of their embrace his wrinkled hands wiped his wife's tears."It's okay, tell me slowly..."
"I have a son out of wedlock. He lives at his real father's house,"
"I wanted to pick him up, but five years ago I used the man's money for a tumour removal operation" he said
"I wanted to pick him up, after collecting the money, replacing the money I had used. But I just collected half of it, can I borrow your money?" her door.
Damar chuckled, ruffling his wife's hair. "Why not say from the beginning? Your son is my son too. Anyway there's no need to say, use the money I gave you before the money was eaten by the termites." he joked.
Never used Damar's money? Merlin did not want her feelings to be doubted by her husband. Moreover, his income as a celebrity is quite enough to support his life.
A wife who loves her husband sincerely.
