Love Blocks the Past

CHAPTER 71 ~ Alone ~

Mikho woke up early in the morning. Usually the first thing he did was stare at Celine who was sleeping on the sofa. Almost three months later, the girl slept on the couch. Sometimes Mikho deliberately pretended to read a book and fell asleep there so that Celine did not always sleep there.

Every morning I open my eyes and look at him for a long time. Just look at his face without thinking anything. Thinking about the problems that arose between them could make him tired. Too much has happened since they knew each other. They have been friends with the problem since they met in sixth grade Elementary to adulthood.

Even when they were married, they were still plagued by problems. All of them drain feelings and emotions. Miko was too tired to think about that. She just wanted to feel her peace staring at Celine's face. Only Celine without any frills attached to her problems.

Now Mikho woke up in a jolt. Not just staring at Celine. Celine was no longer on the sofa in front of her. The man turned to his side of the bed. But Celine wasn't there either.

If his heart didn't care about Celine like it did three months ago, maybe he wouldn't be as surprised as he is today. Just last night, the man decided to accept Celine back even intending to enjoy the first night. If only his parents had not called them, Micho would have done her duty as a husband to his wife.

His parents' decision was surprising, making his head suddenly dizzy until finally decided to immediately rest. Now Mikho found his wife was not in the room anymore. Mikho's looking to get here and there. His heart could not believe that Celine was out of the room because the girl was just shutting herself up in the room everyday.

Mikho continued to search all the way to the bathroom, to the balcony until he finally found a piece of paper. With trembling hands and an erratic feeling, the man read the familiar handwriting.

To :

My Beloved Husband

I'm sorry, I'm so sorry,

Forgive me for always disappointing you. Ever since I first met, ever since I knew you, only anger and sadness have colored your life. I realize I'm not a woman worthy of a man as good as you. Whenever I imagine your struggle to be with me, I always curse myself. For my selfish feeling of not wanting to let you off to be happy with another woman.

Mikho shook his head as he read the letter his wife had written. What his wife wrote did not fit his thinking. Reading it Mikho was like he was unable to continue. However, as hard as the man was trying to find out the contents of his wife's heart.

Brother Mikho,

Ii'm sorry. Forgive me for not being able to wait for your verdict because I know it will happen. I can't hear it, brother. Let me leave everything to Brother. I knew I would be divorced as planned. Just send us our divorce papers because I won't be able to hear them. As we all know, I can't choose. I can only accept your decision.

Brother Mikho,

Thanks for everything. Thank you for saving my life. Thank you for taking care of me all this time. I will never forget all the kindness Mikho has had in my life. I'm sorry I couldn't get back. I can only pray that Mikho will be happy with the best woman of choice.

^^^Your ex-wife,^^^

Mikho clasped the letter on his chest until it made the piece of paper crumble. So much so that his chest pain made the man even sit on the floor. Mikho cried so much. The man was very sorry. 

If only he knew Celine would have gone quietly to leave him. He's gonna lock the door to his room. He put the girl in his arms. Won't let that girl get away from him in the least. Strictly stated that he would not divorce her.

I forgive you Celine, whatever you do with Yodi, I will forgive you. I can't decide to divorce you, I can't. I love you too much Celine. Once you leave me, how could you Celine, my inner Mikho cry.

The man even screamed. So sorry for not stating his decision to divorce. So sorry for that night fulfilling her parents' request to talk.

I've hugged you, you've resigned to me. I should have fucked you last night. I will make you mine. I'm not gonna let you go again. Celine .. Why is our life like this? Why do I always make the wrong decision? Why do I always delay? Why is there always someone standing in our way? Honey, I'll find you. I don't care, it's all my fault. I have to find you until I meet. I should be able to find you, Mikho screamed.

The man immediately got ready, then walked out of his room. When he saw his mother talking over the phone, Mikho immediately approached his mother. Bu Anisa was shocked to see Mikho who was like hearing his talk. The mother turned to her only son.

"Don't plan any more weddings for me. I don't want to marry again. I've married. I love my wife. I love my wife so much. Now I have to go Ma. I'm gonna find my wife. I'll never stop looking for my wife–"

"What's? Whatchu mean?" asked Anisa astonished.

"Celine left the house without saying goodbye. He couldn't hear that I was going to divorce him. He decided to leave before that happened. She resigned if I decided to divorce her and remarry. But ... I wouldn't do that Ma. I will not divorce my wife and I will never marry again. Like it or not, quick or inappropriate, she is your daughter-in-law. Mama either accept her or reject her, I don't care, she's still my wife. Celine is still my wife to me. I love him and forever I will love him" Mikho said, leaving his mother flabbergasted.

Anisa's mom didn't even realize her phone was still connected until her conversation with Mikho was clearly heard by her best friend. With the confusion of the mother answered every question of her best friend. Miss Anisa did not expect at all, this morning will get a statement that really surprised her after last night Mikho like not rejecting his match.

Meanwhile, Celine had arrived at the room in the house where she had been staying first with Mikho. The girl seemed to want to go through her memories with the man. Celine goes alone after asking her mother's father for permission to live alone.

Of course the decision left his parents shaken. They could only hope for Celine's mood to calm down and the girl decided to go home soon. Celine apologized to her parents for this decision. Begging her parents to pray for her.

"Call Mom if anything happens, son? If it hurts to tell Mama right away, we won't stop you from calming down, son. But if anything happens, if you are sad, please contact us. Let us hear your voice, hear your sorrow, will we? Remember Celine, Mama doesn't want to live again if anything happens to you. Mama will also end her life if she hears you choose that path again" Dessery threatened.

Celine's tears flowed straight away. Closing his mouth with one hand so that his cries could not be heard. Through the phone connection, Celine promised to always contact her parents even though she could not say where her position was.
