He Who Came Among Us

Where is your real face?

After I left, Topaz burst out with emotions in his seat, all the objects on his desk, he slide with both arms, to scatter in no direction.

"Aarrgh..." His cry was desperate for his stupidity.

"Stupid, why can't I hold back my emotions. I still need it. I have to think of a way for him to forgive me."

Topaz tried to recall what conversations he expressed when emotions could not be contained earlier.

"Divorce, he said. I'm not gonna let you ask that easily, Ruby. I will never be willing to divorce you! you'll keep me company until I'm bored, I won't share you with any man either" his booming screams filled his study.

His breathing was now breathless as Topaz threw himself into the chair. Massaging his forehead and thinking that his wife would stay by his side.

"I have to make him fall in love with me again. Yes, I am Topaz Zephyr, who is famous for conquering women. Love will solve everything" Topaz said.

Feeling that he had found a solution, with a whistle of pleasure Topaz took a change of clothes brought by Soka and went to the bathroom so he could quickly go home.

Finished dressing Topaz took the food prepared by his wife and ate it on the way home, not forgetting to buy a bouquet of red roses. With a carefree heart and a clear mind came Topaz in his bawang griya.

Unfortunately the man could not find the wife even though he had been in his car to every room griya bawangnya. Anger regained control of him, not accepting the attitude of the wife who did not obey his orders for the second time.

"Ruby Celeste, you're really pissing me off right now" he growled.

Topaz immediately called Soka and found out where his wife was. Soka replies that the Madam is at Topaz's mama's residence Esmerald.

With a red face holding back his anger he came out of his laughing griya drove his car at an above average speed.

"Ruby, go home" he cried as he reached the Esmerald house.

Esmerald who came out of the house put on a face of disappointment for the actions of his only son.

"Stop yelling. Your wife just fell asleep, physically and mentally exhausted. The new doctor examined him and gave him a sedative" Esmerald explained in an angry tone.

"I'll take her home" Topaz said against her mother.

"Unmistake it," said Esmerald Ketus.

"Ma, my wife Ruby and I deserve it" said Topaz.

"No." Esmeral is upset, "When did you teach me to make women cry?. You've gone too far just because of your broken heart. You have no right to say that to that innocent girl, until you make her what she is?" his voice shakes withstanding the crying. After a short pause Esmerald resumed, "he will stay here, until he recovers. You don't have the right to take him, mama won't let him" Esmerald said.

Topaz. Not to dispute all of my mother's words.

"let me look at him." he asked sincerely.

Esmerald is considering Topaz's request. And give up with the sincerity that the child shows.

"Don't wake her" Esmerald warned her son.

Topaz nodded before walking into the guest room. He saw his wife sleeping well. His breathing was regularly flipped over the blanket that covered his body.

"I'm sorry," she said.

Now topaz has sat on the edge of the mattress and stroked my face finely by removing the fine hair blocking my now pale white face. Fucked my forehead.

"Come home soon, "he said whispering, "you are my wife, your place is beside me. Remember that! I will persuade you, until you return to my side, Ruby Celeste Zephyr." He said before tasting sweet on my lips.

Esmerald watched from the doorway. "If you love her, show her when she wakes up."

Topaz turned to the voice at the door and only a faint smile was seen.

"Son, I'm sure Ruby loves you, so give her back on her feelings don't fixate on your past" suggested Esmerald, who saw her son's sincerity with his wife.

"Stop ma, don't talk nonsense," said Topaz.

"Ruby told me, he said you've been coming home drunk this week and ignoring him. What is it with you exactly? Did you go back to the Peridot Club?" asked Esmerald curiously.

"Job is nothing else" Topaz replied.

"really! not to see Cet?," Esmerald said.

Topaz sculpted when the name Cetrine called. There was a long pause before Topaz issued an answer. "He's there as the owner we'll meet."

"Sway that cunning woman, son. Before you get into trouble." Esmerald gave his advice as well as a threat to his son.

"Ma, I'm not a fool who gets caught up in the game easily" Topaz said.

"Don't talk that easily, baby. Love can blind everything" Esmserald said.

"I won't be fooled a second time" Topaz said.

"Mama just reminded. Because now there is a heart you must take care of. Orphaned woman with her innocence. Please don't make it like this again" Esmerald said.

"Mama already thinks of her as your daughter, don't disappoint mama and Ruby. Don't bring him into your trouble. If you don't like him, let him go. Understand" insisted the mother.

Topaz walked up to her and whispered, "I'll be back tonight. Titip my wife ma. Send this flower to her."

Topaz walked out of the house.

Esmerald arranged the roses on a vase placed beside the table.

"Darling, understand yourself. She's afraid of falling in love, mama wishes you could cure her trauma, well baby." Esmerald kissed my forehead before exiting the room and closing the door.

I woke up when the afternoon sun shining a reddish orange broke through gently caressing my eyelids.

The first thing I remember was a kiss dream on my lips that caused me to blush in shame. Dreams like reality permeate my mind.

The red rose placed beside my bed caught my attention.

It didn't feel like it was there, mom would've put it down.

Scroll my cell phone clock, surprised I realized time was passing fast.

Topaz will be furious.

I hurried to get up to get my bed and take my bag. Mama who was arranging food saw me in a hurry.

"Where are you, baby?, mama's preparing dinner." Her words approached me.

Esmerald pulled my arm and held both my shoulders to sit on the dining chair.

"Sit down and eat first, Topaz's business let mama handle it" he told her.

"But ma.. "

Esmerald interrupted my speech,"sst.. Eat it."

I did not dispute it anymore and feed the food that had been served to me.

"Stay here last night, mama told Topaz." Esmerald looked at me, baby.

"When ma?" I asked.

He knows I'm here, so his anger will only get worse when I get home. My mind.

"He stopped by to give you a rose, mom put it in your vase. Have seen!"

Really do?!. I was stunned to hear it, until my spoon stopped in front of my mouth.

"He came while you were sleeping" Esmerald continued.

Was that kiss not just my dream?.

"really?." There was a cry I held.

"Yes, and he'll come again tonight" Esmerald told me.

I looked at Esmerald hoping for a lie in his words, but his eyes told him the truth.

"Ruby dear, Topaz is a stupid man who is lost right now, so wake him up well!" his proposal.

"I don't understand him ma. Sometimes the gentleman is arrogant sometimes, no matter what his true nature is," I pulled out my uncles.

Esmerald smiled at my confession. "love is the one who will awaken him. Believe it."

"Really?, I'm not sure ma, if he doesn't love me how can I approach him." My tears fell.

"Oh! Dear Ruby, "get it myself and embrace it. The warm embrace of a mother I had long wanted to feel.

"Pacify yourself by staying here, mama will talk to him well. Think carefully about what you want to do. Mama will support your decision?" he said.

I nodded weakly with tears flowing. "Ruby, you've been considered my own daughter. So don't hesitate to tell the story. Think of mama as Bell's replacement, your mother."

Esmerald grabbed my face and wiped my tears, "the first thing you have to do is stop crying. This makes a woman weak. Don't show your cry again in front of anyone well, especially Topaz he'll be big-headed." I smiled at Esmerld's words.

Right, stop crying. Support the voice in my heart.

"Recovering your food and bathing in hot water will restore your strength."

"Thank you ma." I hugged her back, as though the thick fog in my mind was slowly being knocked out.

Finished eating I followed mama Esmerald's advice to soak in the bathtub. The comfort of warm water relaxes the tension throughout my muscles not to mention the fragrance of therapeutic candles that are lit adds a relaxing sensation to the drowsiness of attacking me.

I heard someone open the bathroom door, I thought it was Esmerald, so I kept my eyes closed.

"You love soaking in the bathtub." I opened my eyes as soon as I heard her voice.

I glared at Topaz who was now leaning on the edge of the bathtub. As fast as lightning he floated a kiss on my lips.

"Why is that surprised, isn't this what you should do when you welcome your husband home" he said.

We looked as if the time around us had stopped. Until Topaz's breath awakened me.

"Ruby, gohome. We finish this at home, yes" she asked gently.

I examined every expression on his face. Wishing to read his ever-changing mind.

"Mama says I can stay here and you've given me permission" I said no defeat.

"Yes, but only tonight. You can leave me alone" he said sadly.

Don't tease me with that look. Thought.

"You have more heart for me" I said.

"I was wrong, okay," his emotions began to show, "Ruby I was wrong." Say it while exhaling.

Topas set his expression and emotions and just resumed his talk, "Ruby I was wrong. I'm upset, because I did our first night when I was drunk, but I blame you. I shouldn't have said anything bad about you. I'm sorry, honey," she said.

I was silent to judge every earnestness in his words. My little heart wanted to believe it, but my mind still remembered how much his anger frightened me.

"Darling," he called her friendly, "all night I was drunk, the morning was messed with work, and your unexpected arrival shocked me, so I couldn't control my emotions" he explained.

She approached me, squatting her gaze, "honey, I'm sorry this time huh."

I examined his handsome face looking for lies in his brown eyes. "Give me time to think."

Topaz looked at me sharply, ravaging my heartbeat, "uhm! Take a break today. Tomorrow I'll pick you up" he said.

Topaz brought his face closer, I refused but the strong hand grabbed him, and met our lips after the great quarrel.

His kiss was different from before which was always demanding. This one is slower, adores, and lets me lead. The smile on his face I saw when our lips came off. His fingers gushed at my lips which are now broken.

"Sleep well, baby." The kiss on my forehead is a sign of separation from her. Who now leaves me.

I blushed with his actions, my heart pauses like the rhythm of disco music. It takes time to calm him down.

I went to bed after easing the emotion of Topaz's actions. His voice that said 'sleep well, baby', made me hard to sleep.

I just fell asleep after the medicine the doctor gave me worked on my body. In the hope of tomorrow he behaves according to his promise to me.

Should I forgive you, hubby?.
