Grasping Taste

Go home

"The Word is that if you want to go home, just go home! I can do it myself." said Aruna after finishing the bathroom.

He will no longer hold the Word. Perhaps from a long time ago, he never wanted to hold back the Word. Her hands were still busy combing her hair and would put back on the instant hijab.

Word's phone rang, Aruna glanced at him. The name is clearly visible. Until Aruna smiled bitterly again.

"Your love called, Mom. Just pick it up, it might be important! Or he misses you! " the circus of Aruna makes the Word stare intently.

"Run, it's not like that!" answer Sabda. He felt Aruna was always cornering him. But he won't argue anymore. What is clear, at this time he does not have a commitment or special relationship with Anin.

Receiving Sabda's reply, Aruna fell silent. For some reason, what the Word said no longer had any effect on him.

Silent. They were silent with their own minds. Aruna was considering what Mama Rosa had said.

She was a little worried, but to continue her marriage with Sabda came some shadows. How far along is their relationship? Have they been making out? Related like husband and wife? How many times have they done it?

Aruna breathed. He couldn't imagine all that. In fact, to ask was reluctant, he was sure his heart was still hurt if he heard the answer. Because, she still loved the man she was currently with.

I saw Aruna who was

thinking of something, Sabda walked up to his wife. He really did not want to let go of Aruna.

"Just rest ! Mas, will wait for you." said Sabda by pulling the blanket Aruna up to the stomach.

"Run, can't you forgive, Mas? Give Mas another chance to fix everything." pinta Sabda, his gaze was so longing that Aruna did not want to see it.

"Mas asked for a chance and I needed some time" Aruna said. If the Word asks for an opportunity then he is also the time to forgive. Being injured so many times that she was almost numb made it difficult for Aruna to accept all of this.

"My heart is too weak and too tired to be able to accept this, Mas." continued Aruna. He tried not to cry anymore.

"I'm sorry, Mom, Run! " That is all the Word can say. He doesn't want to talk wrong again and again hurt Aruna's feelings.

POV Word

How could I lose a woman as beautiful and as good as Aruna? Especially I love him so much. I'm really scared of losing him. It felt different when I lost Anin. It hurts more when Aruna asks for a divorce from me and wants to get away from me.

If he always said he'd go crazy for sticking with me, but I might be crazier when I lose him. No, I'll never let go.

Aruna is indeed a figure who has principles and is firm. He's hard for me to get. In fact, he never demanded anything from me. Yes, he can face me who is complacent with the love of my past so calmly. In fact, he still served me perfectly. He also did not hit Anin which I thought, Aruna will not be difficult to find.

But, he didn't do it. He chose to torture me. A situation like this has really tormented me.

"Can't you sleep?" tanya Sabda after waiting for a few minutes but Aruna still did not close her eyes.

"Yes, Mas. I can go home tomorrow. I want to go home to Mama Hesti." said Aruna, staring at the Word. She still wanted the Word to allow her because she was still the wife of the Word.

"Mas will take you. Mas also wanted to talk to Mama Hesti." replied the Word. Aruna was just speechless, she was going to let the Word take her home to Mama Hesti.

"Assalamu'alaikum." said Aruna until Mama Hesti appeared.

"Waalaikum greetings....Why don't you tell Mama if you're coming." said Mama Hesti as Aruna and Sabda took the back of her hand.

"Aruna wants to stay the night, Ma." said Aruna.

Mama Hesti was still silent, she just led Sabda and Aruna into the living room.

"Ma, someone wants Sabda to talk to Mama" Sabda said as Aruna stepped into the kitchen. He'll make the word tea warm.

After Sabda explained everything Mama Hesti was silent, her heart was not willing for her daughter to be treated like that. But, she did not comment much because in fact she was the second woman in the household of her late husband and mother Aruna.

"I love Aruna. I don't want to be separated or divorced. We need time to start everything. So the Word put Aruna here." said Sabda. She also said that letting Aruna come home here just wanted Aruna's feelings to be much better after losing their baby.

Mama Hesti deeply regretted that. The woman also wished to fondle the grandchildren. Starting a new role with a new generation as an Eyang.

"Please drink, Mas." said Aruna with a cup of warm tea for Sabda.

For a moment the atmosphere became silent. They were silent with their own minds. Until finally, Mama Hesti chose to leave to give the opportunity there were both talking. He hoped their marriage would be preserved.

"Run, use this to meet your needs!" say the Word by offering a debit card that Aruna had returned.

"Keep knowing you have your own money. But, you are still a wife and a responsibility, Mas." continued Sabda when he saw Aruna did not budge. His wife is still silent.

"Why not take care of our divorce? What is Sabda waiting for? Maybe, he still hopes the same. I will not demand or dispute anything." replied Aruna making the Word sigh. His eyes stared intently at the woman in front of him.

"We need time to fix everything. We're not getting a divorce!"

"The sooner, the better. No one will be hurt deeper, Mas." said Aruna later. Aruna's words that kept asking for parting were like testing her patience.

"Mas, go home first. It's already night! Once a week, Mas, will be here." said Sabda then moved from his seat. Still frequent visits to Aruna, for the Word is a way to maintain their relationship.

Aruna took the back of Sabda's hand to shake. But the man immediately pulled him in an embrace peeping the top of his wife's head up many times. To make the eyes of the Word glazed. He could not separate from his wife.

After Sabda said goodbye to Mama Hesti, Aruna drove her husband to get into the car.

"Mas, be careful on the road." said Aruna. She still loves the man who is currently turning on his car engine.

"Wait, Mas. I will be here often." answered the Word. But, Aruna just nodded. That fancy car out of the way gets Aruna back inside.

Aruan Pov's

I still love Mas Sabda. But, I was still afraid of getting hurt even deeper. I'm fragile if people judge me like that.

People who cheat will usually cheat again. I'm afraid of facing reality like yesterday. I no longer have the strength to face betrayal.

Moreover, I know Mas Sabda's love with the woman is so great. I could see that the two of them were comfortable together.
