His legs were limp not playing, even Cherry felt her head was very dizzy this time. The prayer that he prayed to His Lord all the time, it was unexpected that it all happened so quickly.
It's not that Cherry doesn't know that Arjuna has returned from treatment, Cherry knows, knows. Even a few days ago he had left his fried rice to his best friend, Bayu, to be given to Arjuna as a code if he was around. Because Cherry believes Arjuna can recognize his homemade cuisine.
Cherry also deliberately forbade Diana and Rahardian not to tell the truth because Cherry wanted Arjuna to know for himself with all the codes he kept giving during this week.
His body trembled as he felt those warm hands touching back next to his face. His voice seemed lost when he wanted to curse with all the frustration he had endured for four years to the man who was now wiping his tears.
"Cherry"
As strong as he maintained his footing so as not to be unsteady, his shoulders trembled violently, the tightness in his chest grew as he also held back his cries so as not to create a commotion before his son.
Cherry has always called herself strong, even in the deepest point of destruction, in her life, her tears still she could bear to keep from coming out. But, hearing that soft voice, the voice that always made Cherry upset and fall in love simultaneously, everything just collapsed.
Cherry misses him so much, honestly! Although there was a lot of anger that he wanted to vent on the man, but all of it was not worth the love, affection and longing.
"Arjuna" He called her too slowly, until Arjuna had to draw her face closer to look at Cherry inside after cupping her pretty face.
"Yes, baby" replied Arjuna slowly.
Arjuna's burly hand moved, now swiping slowly the tiny lips that seemed to vibrate again to hold the sobbing.
"Don't cry" The voice he hadn't heard for so long made him sob. As the burly hand cupped his face, Cherry could only remain silent, letting the man gently wipe his entire face, "If you cry, here it hurts" Arjuna pointed right at his own chest. Then he continued, "Don't go again, Cherry" before finally pulling the tiny body into his arms. Cherry was silent, letting the man embrace her, shedding all the longing that they had been so deep for four years.
No sentences came out for a few minutes, they just hugged each other. Juna himself just kept quiet, watching his mother and father with a feeling of tightness.
Maybe he is still very small to understand what has happened, but is not the inner bond of the child with his parents very strong? Juna was happy, her little hands supporting her funny face, watching the two adults channeling longings with each other.
"Don't go again, baby?"
Arjuna repeated his request.
"Where to?"
Cherry asked slightly seductively, looking at Arjuna's face that was already flushed red from crying after successfully stretching out her slight embrace.
"Leave me again" Arjuna also had no idea where Cherry had gone all this time, "just don't go anymore!" Her impression with a slight sulking tone, made Cherry laugh with tears that seemed reluctant to stop dripping.
"So, I have to be here, with you?"
Arjuna always liked when Cherry laughed, as if all the burdens in his life were gone with a smile that looked so sincere. He pulled back the tiny body, it felt reluctant to let go even for a second.
"Should! Or I'll handcuff your hand so I don't go away again"
Arjuna gently pulled Cherry's hand to invite her to sit on the sofa there. Cherry simply complied, sitting comfortably in Arjuna's lap without any rejection with her hands clasped together, clasping each other.
"missed me?" Arjuna asked so gently. Her hands painstakingly tidied up the bangs that covered part of Cherry's face, "It's so pretty" Imbuhanya slowly.
"Very!" Cherry Sahut.
His head rests on the neck of the man, feeling the body scent that he always longs for.
"I miss you, too, until it feels like I want to die from holding him for too long" Arjuna said, honestly.
The atmosphere was silent again, both of them closed their mouths, just feeling the comfort of each other. Happy, that's what they feel. Cherry feels grateful to be reunited with Arjuna, as well as Arjuna who feels his world has returned due to Cherry's return to her arms.
Years of not meeting make the two are stricken with a half-lost longing. They also made each other a promise in their hearts that they would never let each other go, just once Cherry left, now never again. And twice Arjuna lost Cherry, until he thought about ending his life because he could not, now he would never let his Cherry go again. It won't.
"It's so skinny"
Cherry stared worriedly at the man who was still hugging her. His face was still handsome, even more handsome, but his body looked very thin. Until the cheeks that once looked chubby, now no longer.
"I don't pay attention to my life, it's all just centered on you"
"It's a lie!"
Cherry pinched Arjuna's burly arm, making him pretend to be grimacing by a pinch that didn't hurt much.
"I'm honest, baby"
Arjuna weld, hugging his slender waist and burying his face in the recess of Cherry's neck. Inhaling the scent of the body that always made him calm.
"Don't torture yourself anymore, even if God doesn't tell us to be together"
"You're my destiny and we'll be together!" Arjuna Sela.
Cherry chuckled softly hearing him.
"Arjuna" Call Cherry slowly. It seems he has forgotten something.
"Yes, honey?"
Arjuna looked up, looking at Cherry's confused face.
"Where's Juna?"
DEG!
Don't ask where Juna, the handsome little one, has left the room when his grandmother and grandfather call him by gesture. They did not want to disturb his son and daughter-in-law who had just met after years of separation due to his actions.
"Grandparents, they've forgotten me!"
"Let it go, don't bother them first huh?" Persuade the grandfather, "And tonight you will stay at the home of the grandfather and grandmother" Imbuhnya.
Rahardian holds me to the handsome boy, taking him out to take him anywhere so as not to interfere with Arjuna and Cherry's time together.
"Seriously, cake?"
"Of course my grandson is very handsome. Your mom and dad are gonna be busy tonight, so you better stay the night, okay?"
Actually Juna did not understand busy what his grandfather meant, but he did not care, the most important thing is that he will stay at his grandparents' house which means Juna will be free to eat whatever he wants.
Know, Cherry is too strict to Juna's food problems. Moreover, Cherry does not allow Juna to eat junk food, even though Juna really wants to eat it even once.
"Juna wants to, Juna wants to!"
"Smart kid!"
🌻
Cherry looked at Juna's appearance before her with a happy feeling mixed up, the smile on the handsome boy's lips made Cherry feel all happiness as if racing around him.
Nine months Cherry was pregnant with her son, and just today she is four years old. Four years had passed, with so many sacrifices and painful memories never lost. The cries, the wounds, the fears were all so painful.
Juna, the baby name she was born with four years ago has a beautiful face, completely down from her father, almost everything. Hah, maybe because Cherry loved the man so much, to the point that his son looked exactly like his father.
Upset, sure.
She who was pregnant, took her anywhere for nine months, struggled to live and die during childbirth, but at birth, her child did not look the least bit like her.
The two looked over as the knock on the door sounded.
"Cherry" called someone who had just entered his room.
Two beautiful women stood at the doorway, throwing gentle smiles at him. They, Naomi and Roses, began to approach, pinching Cherry's cheeks and also slightly teasing Juna who was not far next to her.
"We must leave immediately" Naomi said.
Rose stroked Cherry's hand, "Mak is ready? I'll take Juna and wait outside, okay"
After Roses took Juna out, they were both in the room. Cherry lowered her face, suddenly her feelings were so tight. It was like a dream and hard to believe.
"Don't cry"
Naomi cupped Cherry's tiny face, wiping away the tears that look to nourish from that clear netra. Which sister isn't as claustrophobic as seeing her brother cry as he is now? Although Naomi knew the tears were tears of happiness, but still, seeing how Cherry suffered again, Naomi was very hurt.
"I know my brother has gone through it all so easily. There are many sacrifices in every decision you make. Everything you've been through is a lesson to all of us. Remember, every problem has a way out. Don't go away once more without finishing it, we'll always be here for brother, me, mom and dad will always be with sister" Cherry nodded, clasping Naomi's hand that still stroke her face, "don't cry anymore, enough brother. You're ugly!" Its effects.
Naomi laughed amusedly at Cherry's face that returned fierce, she always liked that her beautiful sister was nagging.
"You ruined the mood once!"
The sound of laughter was getting heard, Cherry was getting worse. But in the end, Cherry pulls Naomi's body into her arms, hugging her beloved sister warmly. Although they do not come from the same womb, they love each other.
"Thank you, sister"
After everything calms down, Naomi invites Cherry to come out. They, the cherry-naomi-rose and the handsome little Juna were already in a luxurious car that was parked in front of the house.
The car began to go slowly, behind them there were also several other luxury motorcades. Cherry stared at the street scene, her heart pounding as the car began to enter the grounds of a building that had been decorated so beautifully by her favorite flowers.
This is the day of judgment for Cherry. Whether it's going to be like this, happy or sad, Cherry can't predict. But seeing again how everyone smiles for him, Cherry promises to always be happy as long as they are around those who love him.
Naomi, who noticed Cherry's tension, began to clutch her tiny hand, rubbing it gently, giving her peace.
"Blessed, brother" whispered Naomi before handing the hand over to a man who was no longer young, waiting for her in front of the building. The man in the white coat smiled, extending a hand like welcoming the royal princess with a slight bow, making Cherry chuckle softly at him.
"Father's son is very beautiful" Tempted Danial slowly when he was holding Cherry's hand, making Cherry turn her eyes puffed.
Why was his father so happy to tease him? Sucks.
"Dad don't start!"
Danial stopped laughing, telling Cherry to flank his arm. They walked hand in hand, entering a church that was already full of invited guests.
His heart was pounding again, as less than ten meters away he stepped, a man wearing a matching tuxedo with him smiled towards him.
With a little heavy heart, Danial who just felt the joy of being together again with his daughter, now must sincerely hand it over to the man who will knit love with his daughter.
"Dad believes you can make dad's son happy, Arjuna"
Arjuna nodded confidently, clasping the tiny hand tightly.
"Cherry" Arjuna lifted Cherry's chin gently, "i love you, very much. Don't even think about leaving again, do you?"
Cherry nodded confidently, then a priest said to start it all off. Both of them said the sacred promise of marriage, witnessed by all invited guests who always pray for happiness for both of them.
"Thank you for accepting me as your husband. I'm just a man with a lot of flaws, but as long as I can, as long as you're with me, I'll guarantee you happiness. I, Arjuna Alaric Rahardian, love you very much, my angel" Arjuna said softly before finally affixing kisses after they were legally a couple.
