Home For My Soul

He really didn't come out of the room all night. I knew there were drinks and snacks inside, so he wouldn't be hungry or thirsty. But I couldn't sleep quietly thinking about our quarrel. It's just right for parents to say don't be angry until the sun goes down.

Since I didn't sleep well, I didn't force myself to close my eyes. It's sports time, then I get ready. I put on my sneakers and looked at the door. He must still be angry. Exercise is a morning routine he will never miss. It seemed, being angry at me made him prefer to crouch in the room.

The days of the morning walk with her since we came, I felt lonely just crossing the forest by myself. Although there are other cabin residents who are also in the morning sport, it is different from the presence of Amarylis. Why was he angry for so long?

Until I finished serving breakfast on the table, he didn't even leave the room. Unable to hold back any longer, I knocked on his bedroom door. No word, I called his name. He was still silent, so I turned the doorknob.

He looked at me for a moment, then closed his eyes. I approached to check on her condition. Just deserve. He came months, therefore his feelings were very sensitive and this morning he could not get out of bed. A scary habit, but the doctor says this is normal. Every woman's body endurance is different in enduring pain.

I brought him his breakfast and helped him drink from his glass. When he was strong enough, he ate by himself. He refused to be bribed. Even the pain is stubborn. But I was calm to see his face slowly not pale anymore.

“I'm sorry,” he said slowly. “I was being childish last night. You're correct. Your parents' secrets shouldn't be the ones you tell them.”

“Gue understands. Don't think about it anymore. Rest.” I rubbed his head.

“Sorry, our vacation got interrupted because of me.”

“What holidays are interrupted?” godaku's. He's laughing a little.

The next morning, he was active again and woke me up to exercise. I was glad to see that he was okay. Maybe he felt guilty for scolding me, he touched me a lot all day. Oh, dearGod. Does he really not understand?

Despite the weight and temptation, the holiday ended safely. I don't know how many times a day I have to cool the body under the shower, I don't count it anymore. Importantly, I didn't touch Amarylis over the line.

Living together doesn't seem like a good idea. She did not wear an open shirt, but her touch alone had made my mind float. But come to think of it, what does this challenge mean rather than seeing him live with others and the same risks can occur.

Coming home from vacation, I asked her to receive my next gift from me. Not many people recognized us here, so I realized the one thing he wanted to fix from his body. Looking at our destination, he held my hand.

“You've given me so much. No, Theo.” He shook his head.

“Gue want to be happy. Coming back from here to Indonesia, you will not be looked down upon by anyone anymore because of your physical shortcomings,”. “Mama you brought you to a dermatologist to treat your face, then let me help you in this one thing. Yes?”

He looked at the clinic, then back at me. Eyes glazed. “You're embarrassed, yes, have an imperfect boyfriend? That, ‘kan, the reason you brought me here?”

Seeing tears begin to pour down her face, I wanted to get angry. But I held back by taking a deep breath. Moreover, he just finished coming the moon. My mom is often like this too. One second he laughed, suddenly he got angry, then the next one cried.

I invited him to sit in the chair available in the waiting room. There are some people waiting for their turn. His name will soon be called, so I have to hurry or we will wait a long time to get a chance to see a doctor.

“Listen.” I framed his face with both hands. “Gue knows you are moved, but you are my future wife. What I'm doing here is nothing compared to the happiness you've been giving us together. Honey, I want you to be happy.”

“I'm happy. Have I ever complained?”

“Lo saved up so I could do this one day, let's just say I put it first. Hows it? Lo can pay in installments once your money is enough.” I gave you another alternative.

He was stunned for a moment. His eyes were moving, looking like he was thinking. “OK. It's a debt, not a gift. You've given me a lot of gifts, not anymore.”

I'm nodding. “One more, make me, lo perfect. Your body is fat, your face is full of acne, or whatever lack of lo, I don't care. Although I do not agree to be so thin, I still accept you as it is. Understand?”

“Iya.” She wiped away the tears with the back of her hand.

“Amarily Josepha?” call the nurse to say her name.

“Theo, won't the cost be very expensive here?” He held my hand again.

“Lo forgot? Lo students at this campus, so you will get a big discount.” His eyes are also round.

He went to the doctor with a cheerful face. I can't believe she just cried. The kind woman checked the state of her teeth, then told the procedure she offered. It didn't take twenty-four months, so we were lucky.

When he finished college, the treatment was finished and he just used a removable tool. If there is a problem, the dentist also has acquaintances he can contact in our country to continue his duties.

After deciding on our next consultation, we left. He jumped around happily as we approached the bike. Basic lady. His emotions I can't predict. He happily asked to be escorted to the laboratory to check the health of his mouth and teeth.

His preparations for starting life in this city have been fulfilled. The campus is not yet active, but we have been busy with various activities early in the semester before the lecture began. We re-enroll, pay tuition, choose a course, and all other details.

“Amarily, breakfast time!” call me that morning.

My cooking ability is limited, but I'm glad he never complains. Everything he craves. Either because my cooking is good or he doesn't want to be asked to replace my duties if he complains. Truly spoiled women, learning to cook alone is not willing.

“Amarily?” call me again to see he's not coming out of his room.

Is he sick? We jogged together and entered the room just to take a shower and change clothes. What kept him in his room for so long? I called him once again, he didn't answer. Worried that something bad happened to her, I opened the door to her room.

He was sitting by the window. Since he turned his back on me, then I intend to surprise him. I tiptoed closer to him. He was completely unaware of my footsteps behind him. I surprised him by kissing his cheek.

Ever since she wore braces, she complained of pain so we didn't kiss often. After all, the two of us, he forbade me from kissing that part of his face when no one else was. She laughed amusedly because I kissed her so many times.

“Theo, stop!” protest with laughter.

“Lo what are you doing, huh? I called from earlier not answering.” I hugged her from behind so she couldn't avoid my kiss.

“I put on a headset to talk to Mama,” she replied, but I didn't stop kissing her face. “Theo! Mom and Mommy saw us. Stop!”

“Talk to mama lo? They see us?” my tukas. I saw he had removed the headset from his ear as well which was connected to his phone.

Hearing a laughing voice, I turned to the screen of the gadget. There were two faces of adult women other than Amarylis's there. They both shut their mouths hiding their laughter. Oh, dearGod. What did I just do?

My face warmed up thinking they saw what happened. I kissed Amaryllis' cheek many times without realizing anyone was watching us. The audience was not ordinary people either, but both mama Amarilis. For the first time in my life, I was at a loss for words.

“Theo?” aunt Wibowo. “You also studied there?”

“She was one year ahead, Mother. So, he was my senior in college,” Amarylis replied, because I obviously couldn't talk.

“You're in the room, then why did he come in? Is there no ban on men not being allowed into women's rooms there?” aunty Andriyana asked suspiciously.

Seeing that there was a chance to escape, then I pat Amarylis on the shoulder and immediately came out of her room. He just laughed at my behavior. How else would you like? I hope it's a secret until she gets home, she doesn't even tell me she's on a video call with them.

Pimply. Are they going to advise him on this? What if they told him to find a new place to live? I don't want us to live in a separate place. I'm not worried about her mother, all I think is her mother.

The woman had a lot of money to come here and find a new place to live for Amarylis. I could lose my concentration learning if I stayed away from Amarylis. I'd rather we live in the same place even if the temptation is great.

The door to his room opened and he finally came out. I glanced at his hands, he didn't bring his phone. “How?” I'm just impatient. “Did they say something about the incident earlier? Are you told to move somewhere else?”
