Fazila Titipan From Heaven(2)

Unraveling the Past

The moon tonight still shines very bright, its light can even show clearly how nervous the two human children are, namely Refal and Fazila.

After the conversation earlier, they did not even say a word. Shame, awkwardness, gurgling, or whatever the name all those feelings are now filling their chest cavities. Did all the brides go through their first night with such an awkward feeling? I don't know, neither Refal nor Fazila knew the answer.

"Really, this relationship was too sudden for me." Refal began to open a voice between the silence of the air. For a moment there was still no response from Fazila.

"Yes... I-i know. I'm the one who started this relationship, starting from asking for six months to down to two days." Refal continued, even though Refal had said that, Fazila still did not give any response. Actually Fazila just wanted to hear the next speech of Rebal.

"As long as we don't tell about our past, then we won't be able to build this relationship honestly." For the umpteenth time Refal spoke while looking down at Fazila's face.

Truly, Refal admired his wife's natural beauty. But he refused to admit it directly.

"I went to college and earned my Professor's degree from a prestigious campus... After returning to Indonesia I began to involve myself with community activities.

And since I was in high school, I've only been in touch with one woman, we respect each other and we love each other. The girl's name is Hilya." After revealing the name of the most beautiful woman in his life, Refal fell silent again. For a moment he looked down at Fazila's face, trying to find out if the beautiful girl was upset by his words or not, knowing Fazila did not give a bad response Refal back to continue his past story.

At the moment, Refal can only think, unraveling his past like a tangled thread is much more important than keeping it alone, because he does not want any misunderstanding in the future.

"Hilya is a very beautiful girl. What made me fall in love with her? She's a friendly and kind girl, for the sake of making her dear ones happy, she's even willing to do anything." Say Refal slowly. This time, Refal looked up at the sky, looking for the brightest star, he often heard Hilya talk that the beautiful girl would be transformed into a star after she was not forgotten.

"I got into politics because of Hilya, she said honest and kind men like me are needed by the world for security and justice to exist. Whether my good destiny is what I have so God makes things easier, I became the Governor whose name began to be mentioned throughout the city. Aren't I very lucky?"

The night was getting late but unfortunately, neither Fazila nor Refal wanted to get off the balcony. For other newlyweds, perhaps exchanging saliva or dissolving in the pleasures of fusion under a blanket would be much more mainstream. But not for Refal and Fazila, getting to know each other much more first. If you don't know each other, then where does love come from? At least that's what Refal thought until he dared to parse about his past.

"Will Miss Fazila not ask?"

"No." Fazila replied briefly, this time he ventured to look at the handsome face of Refal.

"Without my permission, Hilya registered herself as a police officer. She said she looked more and more beautiful in her uniform and I would fall more and more in love with her.

Haha! Yes, I am falling more and more in love with him. Every second changes to the minute, every minute changes to the hour. And each month changed into a year, my feelings of love for her grew even greater. That's why I dared to propose to her, and luckily Hilya did not refuse. Both my parents loved it."

Hmmm!

"Ten years I've been in a relationship with Hilya, even though I've never been disrespectful to her. We often join hands but never cross the line.

That day on her last mission, with her engagement ring tucked away on her ring finger, Hilya promised to come back and we would get married.

That day Hilya kept her promise to return. But unfortunately he returned in a different state, no more smiles as beautiful as full moon and no more warmth like Mentari. He came in a lifeless state and it destroyed my soul and body."

"Then, what happened after that? Is the governor starting to shut himself down? Or vice versa, being a hot-tempered person with no direction?" Fazila who had been trying to be quiet now began to open his voice, he ventured to ask even though he did not really want Rehal to remember his pain.

Hearing Fazila Refal's question could only stroke her chest, the question that Fazila made was like a whip that skinned all parts of her body. If you answer 'Yes' it feels bad because he will only be remembered as a crybaby man who can not escape the pain. When you answer 'No' it feels too outrageous because he is not a liar.

Huhhhhhhh!

Taking a rough breath from his lips, Refal prepared a short answer, hoping that Fazila would not look at him with a disappointed look.

"Yes, I fall into those two categories. Angry and shutting down. To disguise the pain of loss, I worked like a dairy cow. During the day I work and at night I cry." Refal said ending the beautiful story also hurt him.

Without Refal noticing, Fazila walked towards him. Standing beside him then holding both of his shoulders. Fazila himself did not know why he was getting so absorbed in the sad feelings that Rebal felt, at this moment he just wanted to comfort him.

"Look at me, do you still feel the pain of the past even though you've stood by me?" Fazila asked still holding both shoulders of the Rephal.

There was no reply from Refal other than to shake his head slowly.

"That's enough for both of us. From now on, I will be a force for the Governor. I'll never leave you alone.

Nor will I intrude on your past, let him remain in your memory but remember one thing, do not get hurt again. What is gone will not come back, what is still there then take care with all your heart." Chirp Fazila with her soft voice.

Refal's handsome face was still down, he did not dare to look at Fazila's face because he was afraid that the beautiful woman would be disappointed in him. I don't know what Fazila was thinking until he dared to cupper the handsome face of Refal with both hands. Not only that, Fazila even dared to kiss the soft lips of Refal.
