FROM THE HEART

Your Honesty is My Belief

Everyone has different problems, some are light, heavy, even very heavy like what happened in the Bryan and Clara household. When the problem comes, the strength and loyalty of love is tested, not only love is tested but the emotional sense, patience, and wisdom in dealing with a problem are also tested. I hope my readers can reap the wisdom of the story of a tough and patient woman like the figure of Clara that I pour into this novel.

*****

The mirror was torn apart by a thousand cracks due to receiving a hard blow from a man who did not care about the pain and pain in his hand after being hit by the shard.

Bryan was still confined inside the men's toilet in the office, curled up in the corner of the toilet lamenting the mistake he made even he himself did not notice.

"This injury is not worth the pain that my wife will feel." He looked at her blood-soaked palm.

"Do I really do it, what in the woman's womb is really my son, I don't know, I can't remember anything at all, God, why you gave me this much trouble." bryan said he tried to remember the actions he had done with Angelica but that memory did not cross his mind at all.

"Lord, I don't know if I'm guilty or not, if I'm innocent then show me the way so I can solve this problem without having to involve Clara."

"But if I am guilty, Lord, please punish me severely, I am ready to accept any punishment from you as long as I don't see my wife hurt because of me." he asked solemnly.

"It's all my fault, if only I hadn't let that woman be a part of my office maybe this wouldn't have happened, I'd be so stupid, so stupid." Bryan stuck his head several times against the wall. It seems like the toughest problem he is going through.

"Lord, you're the only one who knows how deeply I love my wife, I believe I'm innocent but if I'm guilty then punish me right now so that I don't see her suffering because of me, God punish me. I beg you, I don't know what to do now.." I shed tears.

Bryan grabbed the phone with his pants on, opened the photo album with a picture of his wife and baby with tears Bryan looked at him.

"Darling, papa loves you so much, forgive me for always hurting your mother, if you grow up later take care of your mother and sisters, papa is tired son, papa can't feel like papa doesn't want to live anymore." I looked up and smelled a picture of the baby.

"Ara, I'm the most useless husband in the world, you'd hate me if you knew this, why should I, why Ara, why do I always hurt you, why do I always hurt you, there is no point in me living just to hurt the person I love the most, please take care of and raise our children as best as possible even though I am no longer by your side, I am sorry Araku, I have to end this so you don't get hurt anymore because of me..." Bryan kissed and hugged the phone containing a picture of his wife.

Then Bryan grabbed the shard of the bell around him and pointed it at his wrist.

"Goodbye my wife, goodbye my baby you are the most precious treasure of my life but today I let you down..."

"I LOVE YOU ARA, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH." - YO.

Bryan shed tears and closed his eyes instead of wanting to end his life.

"Sir, stop." exclaimed Riko who suddenly came as soon as Bryan opened his eyes and shards of shard released from his hand because of shock.

Bryan raised his head to look at Riko, but Bryan refused to speak and turned his eyes away for a moment. Riko approached him and grabbed the bloodied hand of his boss.

"Why are you so stupid sir, your hands are bleeding" said Riko.

"You're still here, why are you meeting someone who has upset you" Bryan said.

Riko helped Bryan stand up.

"Do you know, miss does not like this action, miss will scold Sir if Sir ended his life like this" said Riko.

"Today you don't believe me and will leave me, tomorrow Clara will leave me, I better end my life one by one will leave me, if I go first you won't feel this pain and won't have to walk away from me because I'll be the one to go."

Riko knew very well the boss must be very hit and Riko also knew the boss loved his wife very much.

"Whatever the problem that Sir faces, but suicide is not the way out it's what Sir always told the lady when she was on the verge of destruction, Sir also said every problem must have a way out." riko said trying to remind Bryan, Bryan who used to be always strong and never despair.

"For what else am I holding on, you no longer trust me." he resignedly said.

"We are like brothers, I'm sorry I doubted Sir, but as brothers I will help Sir face this problem, I will not let Sir down like now" said Riko.

"It's Rik, if my son's DNA test is positive then it's the same that you're still going away from me, I'm going to lose my wife" Bryan said.

"It's better now that Sir gets home, explain everything to the lady" Riko said.

"I don't want to, Rik has had enough of the suffering I've given him." Bryan resigned, he had completely lost his nerve.

"You better tell him, before the lady hears it from someone else's mouth because it will be more painful." said Riko.

"I can't, I don't dare say it, Clara will cry and I can't see her crying anymore, this is very painful Rik.." lirih Bryan suddenly hugged Riko.

"I'm not strong Rik.." he said again.

"Speak to Miss Clara, sir must be strong, be brave not to be pessimistic." strengthen the boss

"No Rik. I can't do it..."

"Just try sir, we never know before we try."

"But Rik, Angelica..."

"I promised you Sir, I'll take care of it, now you go home and tell the lady honestly."

"Alright Rik, there's no harm in me following you, sometimes your advice likes to be true" Bryan said with a slight laugh.

Riko was relieved that Bryan was excited again.

"So all this time I like to be wrong." ketus Riko.

"Hehe sometimes heck." said Bryan.

They also hugged manly.

"Thank you Rik, thank you so much you still believe in me, you are indeed the best sister."

"Have Sir not much drama, quickly meet miss." said Riko.

"Yes Rik, I will definitely tell her the truth.."

"My boss spirit, good luck..." Riko gave him some encouragement.

Arriving Home...

"Assalamualaikum, Ara I'm home." said Bryan.

"Waalaikumsallam dear." Clara approached her husband.

"Last-lately you've been home early?" said Clara.

Bryan did not answer. As Clara was about to shake her husband's hand, Clara saw Bryan's hand bound by a bandage.

"You hurt Di, why is it like this?" clara grabbed the husband's hand and looked at the wound in his hand.

"What happened in?" clara was confused.

"Ara I love you, I love you so much." lirih Bryan hugged the wife's body tightly.

"Why is he suddenly like this." Clara's inner self felt an oddity.

"Ara never leave me." she said again.

"Well, why, baby, tell me did I scare you?"

"Let me hug you like this, Ara..."

Clara could hear Bryan's voice just as the person was crying, Bryan's voice hiccupping right in Clara's ear.

"In, are you crying?" lirih Clara let go of her husband's hug to see Bryan's face.

"Just you cry, why are you?" Clara kept asking her husband who could only keep quiet.

"Ara, tell me you're not leaving me, are you?"

"Yes I promise I won't leave you, but why Di?"

"Come on, we'll sit down first..."

They also sat in the living room.

"It looks like your problem is very severe, did something happen in the office?" ask Clara full of probes.

"Yes Ara, something has happened" Bryan replied.

"It must have been so horrible that it hurt you." - Clara. Bryan smiled and could still see the smile on his wife's face.

"Ara, if anyone claims to me that she's pregnant with my son and she tells you that, what are you going to do?"

"Are you impregnating the Di people?" Clara was beginning to feel disappointed.

"Either Ara, I'm not sure myself, but all the evidence points to me" Bryan admitted.

"Who are you hamili Di?" clara asked, his heart started to sting but tried to hold him.

"Angelica." said Bryan.

Clara is trying to stay strong, she wants more clarity.

"Ara, I know it hurts, but I'm sure it's not my son, don't leave me Ara, I beg you never to leave me." Bryan knelt down and pleaded before Clara.

"In, get up and sit back." help Bryan stand up and sit down.

"Ara, I did a DNA test after the results came out I made sure the results were negative" Bryan said.

"Who's doing the DNA tests at the hospital?"

"Angelica takes care of everything, I don't care about that Ara, because I'm sure I never impregnated her."

"Why did you let Angelica alone do the DNA test, Di.." - Clara.

"Ara, why are you silent, I'm sorry Ara I know I was wrong it's not easy to restore your trust, please hit me as much as you want Ara." Bryan grabs his wife's hand and asks Clara to punish him.

"Didi, thank you for being honest with me, I don't know what would happen to me if I heard it from someone else" Clara said.

"Ara, please don't leave me..."

"I'm not going to go in" said Clara, a really tough woman.

"Ara.." lirih Bryan, looked at his wife's face so hard as not at all burdened but Bryan knew his wife was very hurt to hear his words.

"All I need is honesty, when there's a problem you want to share a story with me, that's all I need" said Clara.

"How come you're this strong, Ara...?"

"Not many people want to be honest with their partner when he has a problem, but today you proved that not all couples like to keep things secret, you are very brave in, you are very brave, I'm sure you've thought about the risk you'll take when you're going to tell me this, then how could I not trust you." Clara explained, Bryan sighed in relief.

"But Ara, if I'm proven..."

"Your honesty is my trust, where you still want to be honest then I will always believe" said Clara cut off the conversation.

"God, Ara what your heart is made of, why are you so strong."

"Let's face it together." Clara smilingly raised her right hand to show Bryan.

"Ara, why do you want to still trust me...?"

"My husband, maybe some people will consider me a stupid wife because I still trust a husband who has repeatedly hurt him, but not for me, I am very smart, he said, I have my own reasons why I can trust you that even you don't know."

"You want us to face all this together?" pinta Clara's.

"I want Ara, I want to." Bryan happily grabbed his wife's hand and held it.

"O Allah, the servant will always take care of this wingless angel whom you have laid for the servant, what a beautiful creation you God have, which favors I must deny, Clara is perfect for me." Inner Bryan stared at the face of the wife who could still toughen up even though her heart was injured.

They hugged, but Bryan still felt guilty to his wife as long as the evidence had not come out Bryan could not feel calm.

"Don't be sad anymore, I will always support you Di." said Clara.

"Ara, why can't I stay calm despite hugging you" Bryan said as Clara let go of their hug.

"I know what can make your heart calm down."

"What dear?"

"By remembering God, our hearts will be much calmer, let us pray together" said Clara.

"God willing my wife, ayooo." Bryan also held his wife's hand, they went to the room to perform magrib prayer.

Bryan is falling more and more in love with his wife and the more afraid he is of losing her, the only man who is the luckiest for having a noble wife like Clara.
