Hydra

Chapter 45

Dian has not been able to close her eyes. The clock was showing at eleven o'clock in the evening. The twenty-eight-year-old woman had been agitated ever since.

How'this? Why did I suddenly doubt? Getting married in the near future after the divorce was not in my plans at all. My intention is only for revenge. But Gama took everything seriously. How can I live this household with Gama. I can't even believe I can build a happy home anymore. The wound scared me too much to even think about it.

"You haven't slept?"

The voice made Dian turn towards the door.

"Why are you here?"

Gama stepped in, then took a chair then sat down next to Dian. "So I took some drinking water. And it's hard to check on you, apparently you haven't slept"

Dian changed her position to sit leaning on the head of the bed.

"What are you thinking?" gama's question made Dian look at the man

"Eitherway. I feel doubtful"

Gama squinted, "It's definitely about our marriage, right?"

Dian nodded, "Why do you want to marry me?"

Gama folded his arms, "If I say I love you, do you believe me?"

Dian laughed wryly, "You already know the answer. It always ends with being let down by people I trust and love, right now or maybe even forever, I won't believe in love anymore"

"Not all men are the same, Di"

"You want to say you're different?" tudih Dian's

"I don't want to say yes or no. But I'll prove it"

Dian looked at Gama fixedly, "You're a good man, Gam. We better cancel this plan. You deserve someone better than me. You're handsome, you're well established. I don't think a few women are interested in you"

"You're right. There are a lot of women who are interested in me. Even until someone offers his body for free. But no one was able to catch my attention. They all look ordinary"

"Only am I able to attract your attention and look different? Your appeal is very old-fashioned, Gam. All men are always bragging when trying to achieve their goals!"

Gama walked towards the window then opened the curtain. The sky looks so dark because the clouds are cloudy. Until there is no moonlight or stars illuminating tonight.

"You see, tonight is so dark and silent"

"Now the rainy season, Gam. The sky will often look dark"

Gama laughed softly, but the laughter was apparently able to conjure the heart of a Diandra. A wounded woman who tries to limit and no longer believes in love.

"When my intention is to look poetic. But you're ruining the mood"

It was Dian's turn to laugh. Gama watched his future wife closely. Dian is beautiful, even beautiful. His nose was sharp, his skin was pure white, there were shaggy teeth that would be seen if the woman laughed and also dimples that made him even more dazzling. Somehow Dian's ex-husband can move to another heart when his wife is so perfect.

"You're beautiful, Di"

Dian's laughter halted instantly, the two engaged in a few moments of staring at each other. Until Dian finally cut off the eyes of the two by staring in the other direction.

"How many more times do I have to say if I'm serious! Don't even think about backing down, Di. Because you'll only hurt my parents"

"That's what I'm afraid of, Gam. Your mom and dad were so good to me. But me? I'm just playing them"

Gama approached Dian, then the man sat right in front of Diandra. "There's one way you can do that if you don't want to play with my parents"

"You're definitely gonna ask me to go through everything really, aren't you? I can't, Gam. And I don't want to! I married you just to take revenge on Aditama. Never once did I get to go back to the household. I'm afraid of failing again! I'm traumatized again! You don't know what it's like to be betrayed, Gam. You are never in a position where you are betrayed by those closest to you!"

"di-i"

"The day my mother committed suicide, that day Rey married another woman! What other wounds I don't feel! I've been destroyed so many times! And I can't if I have to be destroyed for the umpteenth time! So don't ask me to do something I can't do!"

Deg

Gama's esophagus choked, seeing how injured Dian made him hurt too. Gama thought, Dian's heart wound would be easy he healed. In fact, the woman's wounds were deeper than she thought.

Gama slowly wiped away the tears flowing from Diandra's eyes. The eyes that made her fall in love. Gama also held Dian in his arms.

"-You don't know how deep the wound is, Gam" Dian breathed deeply, "I wanted to end my own life because it was too painful!"

Gama's hands clenched, "From now on I'll take care of you, Di. I promise you, your tears will never let you out to cry for sadness! Now stop crying"

Gama continues to calm Dian, giving her the comfort she currently needs. "As long as I'm alive, I promise I'll always make you smile, Di"

Whatever I will do to keep you happy, Diandra. From now on, you are the main goal of my life.

"So what's your decision, Ka?"

Saka sighed harshly, "I chose Vika"

Saka's reply made Hastari speechless, but a moment later, the middle-aged woman smiled. "Tomorrow Mother will meet Diandra. Mommy does not know Dian wants to grant Mother's request or not. Mother will try. But as Mother said before, after this, do not disturb Dian's life again. Go as far away as you can. Start living happily with the woman of your choice. Mother will also start a new life Mother"

"Mother won't come with me?"

Hastari shook her head, "Mother will return home"

"But what if the villagers are still talking about Mommy?" ask Saka worried

"The "sound will go away on its own later. Mother just need to close her ears and not pay attention to what they say"

Saka looked at his mother, "Bun, can't you come with me? I'm worried that Mommy should live alone"

"Mother wants to enjoy old age peacefully, Ka. You know for yourself, how your daily life if you live at home with your wife. You also get tired of seeing our discussions every day. So the best solution is, we stay apart"

"Actually I'm heavy if Mommy has to stay alone. But what Mother said is true as well. I can't force Mother if Mother already has a decision. I will often - often visit Mother later"

Hastari shook her head, "Repair your life, son. Fix yourself and don't repeat the same mistake. If possible, sincerely apologize to Diandra. He's already suffered a lot because of what you did"

"Surely, Bun. If he wants to give me and Vika a pardon, I'll meet him and apologize as Mother says"
