Forced to Marry a Teacher
84. Your sorrow is also My sorrow
Astrid wiped the tears from both the cheeks and the corners of Janus' eyes. "Stop self-harm. It's not your fault, if your mother died alone without you. At that time you were just a child who understood nothing. Your mother kept it a secret from you, probably because she loved you so much. He doesn't want you to cry like this."
"I'm such a fool Trid. Though I realized that at that time his face was deathly pale and his weight every day reduced. I'm so stupid, I whine every day to see my father. I shouldn't have asked to see my father. It was possible that at that time, I was still by his side. He could not have died lonely" said Janus, with his unrelenting eyes, pulling out a water shaft.
Staring at her husband who was endlessly shedding tears. Make Astrid can not stem also tears. His heart also hurt when he looked at the man he loved so much that continued to abuse himself. Even though he is completely innocent. Because at that time, Janus was still too small to realize about the condition of his mother. But for Janus, he was the most guilty of not being able to accompany his mother in the last moments. He even hated his mother for leaving him in Indonesia.
The honeymoon that was expected to be happy, even full of tears. Although in fact, both Astrid and Janus, both want a honeymoon in Korea is full of happiness. But it ends sadly, after Janus learns that his mother is dead. Astrid was also very sad, he who had prepared himself would meet face to face with his mother-in-law. In fact, found a tomb in the name of the woman who had given birth to her soulmate.
After Janus calmed down, Astrid and Janus returned to Kim Yu Ri's house to return the car he had borrowed. Shortly after returning the car, Janus and Astrid rushed back to Seoul. Go by train, as well as return to Seoul by train.
During the return trip to Seoul, Janus was silent with a face that was unceasingly radiating sadness. He even drowned in his daydream. He was too shocked to accept the fact that the woman who had given birth to him had gone far away from him. Astrid was eager to comfort the grieving man. However, Astrid was unable to console him. Because right now, her husband needs time alone.
Arriving at the apartment, Janus began to speak. Yes, even if it's just asking about the dinner menu that Astrid wants to eat tonight. Astrid replied, The dinner she currently wants is just a simple dish of Korean fried chicken. She often saw it in Korean dramas she watched.
Janus then immediately went out to buy the food his wife wanted. While Astrid, while waiting for her husband back. He took a bath to clean his body that had been sweating after a day he went to Busan. After taking a bath, Astrid wore a bathroob that she hung in the bathroom.
Astrid then moved into the middle room. When he got there, Janus came back from the outside. He brought back a pack of Korean fried chicken that Astrid ordered and also two bottles of soju, a typical Korean liquor.
In the living room, Astrid finds Janus drunk while sitting on the floor. He never stopped drinking the soju he bought with fried chicken. Astrid sat down next to her husband, and grabbed the small glass that was in her hands.
"Stop drinking this" Astrid said.
Janus recaptured the small glass that his wife had obtained. "For tonight don't forbid me to drink this."
Janus did not stop drinking soju, while the chicken he brought was still intact without touching.
"Sister, if you just drink it's not good for your body. You should eat not just drink" Astrid said.
"You're the one who finished the chicken. I have no appetite" said Janus, looking at the small glass he poured soju.
While drinking, Janus returned to shed his tears. "Mianhae eomma (I'm sorry mother)," murmured Janus.
"I told you, never offend yourself. You are not wrong at all" Astrid said.
In his arms, Janus' cries broke again. He who was drunk, missed too much the woman he called eomma. His mind was unceasingly imagining the figure of the woman who had given birth to him. In the beginning of moments when he was together, until the smile of the look on his mother's face continued to cross his mind. His heart was too sick as the shadow of his mother continued to be present in his mind at this moment. As he let out his tears, Janus continued to wipe his left chest which was painful.
Astrid who saw it also made her heart feel sick. He clenched the body of the man who was crying his tears. Astrid could no longer hold back her tears until she cried with her husband.
Until a moment they cried, Janus was asleep on the back of his wife's shoulder. Astrid did not dare to wake up the man who was falling asleep on his shoulder. Yes, although uncomfortable, in the end they also fall asleep leaning against each other.
...****************...
The next day Astrid awakens from her sleep, and finds Janus panicking on the phone. I don't know who is calling her husband.
"We have to rush home now Trid" Janus said as he hung up.
"What's wrong, why rush home?" ask Astrid for wonder.
"My father's secretary had to call, and tell him that my grandfather was being critical in the hospital" Janus said.
Astrid was in a hurry to get ready to go home. So in a hurry, Astrid didn't even have time to take a shower. Because Janus told him to hurry, so that Janus could immediately book a ticket that scheduled his flight in the morning.
After Astrid changed clothes, they immediately rushed away. Janus and Astrid went to the airport in a taxi that was booked online. Arriving at the airport, Janus immediately booked two tickets to Indonesia. And fortunately Janus got a ticket whose flight schedule will be carried out at 09:00. Because it is only 08:00, Janus and Astrid only need to wait for the departure of the plane to be done in one hour.
**
While waiting for the plane to take off, Janus was very agitated. He was constantly feeling anxious about the middle-aged man who was critical in the hospital. And again Janus felt bad again. Astrid then grabbed the hand of the man who was in the midst of anxiety.
"Take it easy, brother, rest assured that grandfather will definitely be fine" Astrid said to calm Janus' heart.
