Love In Butterfly Needles

Not wanting to Promise

Sunday morning

Mbok Nah has prepared all the needs that will be brought as long as they are in Jakarta.

Adrian is still in his room with Noah and Dena. In a moment he will leave, escorted Kak Radit to the airport with Mbok Nah. Of course he had made a pact with Mas Adam to meet there.

" Dear, I will miss you so much. Remember, don't forget to tell me every day" Dena said.

Adrian was hugging Noah who was asleep next to him.

" Dear papa, doain yes all goes well and papa can gather again with Noah and mama", Adrian kissed Noah's forehead and cheeks alternately.

Dena was so heavy to let Adrian go, her eyes were red. She hugged her husband who was still sitting on the bed.

Adrian kissing hair back Dena .

" The smell of your hair was still the same when I first kissed her. I want to always remember your fragrance".

Mbok Nah knocks on the door of the room, calling Adrian to come out immediately because Kak Radit is waiting.

The last kiss of the morning landed on Adrian's warm lips, long and very deep.

" You'll be back in a much better state, baby, Noah and I will be waiting for your return".

They were equally shedding tears, showing just how much love there was between the two of them.

Radit's brother is waiting in front of the house.

Dena took Adrian's departure this morning so hard. A cool morning breeze circled the courtyard of the house at that time, caressing the beautiful temporary farewells that were long enough for them.

Noah was still asleep in Dena's arms, perhaps when he woke up he would not see his papa figure for a long time.

Jakarta City

The afternoon sky of the capital was decorated with clouds that ran in the direction of the wind at that time. Adam stands on the balcony of Radit's 35th floor apartment.

He could look at the bustle of the life of the Capital from up here. It never occurred to him that he was actually here with a man who had married a very valuable woman in his life.

He does this solely because he appreciates Adrian's sincerity, he may be happy if later to see Dena can lead a normal life in his general.

But he had also imagined the worst risk for Adrian because donating his kidneys in a state of health that is not good enough.

Adrian with his wheelchair approached Adam who was still standing pensively staring at the expanse of skyscraper scenery in front of him.

" O Adam, thank you again. Finally we get here, you fulfill your promise to help me".

Adam looked back, hearing Adrian arriving at him.

" Adrian, tomorrow we'll start everything. Doing some laboratory checks and ultrasound, I hope you're still thinking about it once again", Adam immediately said what his daydream was.

" Why Mas, are you saying that all this is dangerous for me, like risking my life?", Adrian can guess the meaning of Mas Adam's sentence just now.

" If you can't survive donating your kidney to Dena, do you think Dena will be happy? He will feel guilty for the rest of his life. Think that".

" There's actually still one thing I want Mas Adam to do, and I want Mas Adam to promise to fulfill it as well".

Adam took a heavy breath and then sighed with a smooth gust that Adrian could hear.

" What else do you want me to do?", it seems that Adam had many promises he had to keep.

" If I really leave this world, I want Mas Adam to take care of my son Dena and Noah" Adrian said with a deep look at the sky that began to orange at the end there.

" Why should I? I'm not who in your family, there's still your brother and Dena's family who can do that" Adam replied as quietly as Adrian's voice just now.

" Because I know, Mas Adam still loves Dena and I'm sure Mas Adam is the one who can make Dena happy ", this time Adrian lowered his head to say slowly because he actually did not want another man to love his wife.

" Talk what you Adrian, stop with your bullshit. I'll keep helping you until the transplant is complete without you having to attribute my feelings to Dena. And for my love, you don't need to know. Because to me you are the best man who deserves to be with Dena", Mas Adam said sharply.

" Whatever Mas Adam's current feelings, I beg Mas Adam to promise me this time. Marry Dena if I am no longer in this world, promise me that I will. So that I can leave quietly if today I can make sure my wife and children will always be happy", Adrian half begged.

" No, there will be no promise for that. You'll always be Dena's husband, and you'll be fine", actually Adam himself doubted that Adrian would be okay after kidney transplant surgery.

Adam did not want to continue this conversation, he wanted to leave Adrian who was still sitting in a wheelchair.

" I love my wife, I love her so much. I'm happy in this life to have it, but if God calls me I don't want him alone to face this harsh world", Adrian stifles Mas Adam with his words.

" Dena will never be alone, she will always be with you. And stop asking me to promise because I'll never promise you that stupid thought" Adam left Adrian alone this time.

He threw his body rough on the mattress in a room that was special to his in the apartment.

Remember Adrian's words about him who still loves Dena.

Of course everything Adrian said was true, he still loved Dena.

But if he takes advantage of Adrian's fall, not the real man of his name.

No matter how much he wanted to have Dena, he would never promise to marry her.

Because he hopes, Adrian will always be his one for Dena.

Dena, let me try to breathe with diction. Even if I realize, I have to pull you over.

That you're just the biggest secret of my life.

No need to say, no need to say.

Ask the universe about whose heart is more sincere when you say "i love him and can't leave him".

...----------------...

Adam's principle: be a man who is firm in his stance, who is able to take responsibility for speech and dares to commit to one woman. He once let go of Lisa because he did not want two women in his life, although in the end he never had Dena.

But for him it is okay, a real man is the most sincere in accepting.

Hhmmm, I guess Mas Adam sure not yes with his decision not to promise Adrian??
