Love Shielded Risue

trying to forget each other

Tiredness in his body. Maryam had just arrived after delivering Debby to Ustadz Irsyad's house first.

His body just fell on the bed. With the bag still hanging on his body. Maryam looked at the ceiling.

Bang Akhri is fine. I'm glad to see it. He could forget me, it seemed.

Maryam gasped, remembering the soft voice of her ex-husband. His heart no longer sagged. But a little unwillingness reappeared, disturbing his soul.

I am grateful, although there is still a bit of unwillingness. However, this mind is already immune. I don't know if I'm still with them.. Will your love stay the same? I think it will decrease a lot.

Mary smiled faintly, she immediately moved from her position. Switch dresser shirts. His hand slowly pulled the needle stick embedded in his hijab cloth. Then let go of the hijab.

Staring at his own reflection in the mirror, he took off his hairband. Letting her long hair run.

He took a tool to comb his hair straight, black, and bushy.

The brother likes your hair very much..make you look more beautiful, if at a store like this.

Bang Akhri's words suddenly sounded. He took her to an illusion of his hugging self from behind, then kissed her head.

"Astagfirullah al'azim..." Maryam. He shook his head quickly after brushing his long hair back. "I am why? Just meeting for a while without looking at you is like this?"

Auntie, why don't we get married again, anyway? Just get married again.. let Aunt's heart not empty. –Debby's greeting on the way home earlier.

"My heart isn't empty, it's full of things I love. And if I miss it, it's natural..." Maryam muttered to herself, the thing that she could not answer when she was with her nephew she could only answer now. He turned to the desk in the corner of his room. Which has a lcd monitor, as a suggestion it works.

The best way to heal a heart wound is to find a new heart. If this continues, Aunt will feel endless loneliness. Which ends in longing, but not delivered.

"Oh God..." Maryam massaged his forehead. He also opened the desk drawer, took out one of the small frames that he deliberately kept until this moment. A wedding photo of her with her ex-husband. Yeah, the only one he still has.

Maryam let out that quietly, then looked on with a sad look.

"Not supposed to, I'm still keeping this. Bang Akhri is happy with his family now." Slowly Maryam flipped the frame, then removed the lid on the back. And take out the photo.

Akhri's smile that expands perfectly to him after the qobul ijab makes his heart again sliced. A little dear if this photo should be removed. Because he no longer has anything else. But Maryam had to completely erase Akhri from her mind. The woman tore slowly, and not even half of it? The hand movement stopped.

"I can't erase everything. Please, just let Merr keep this one, yeah, Bang." Maryam canceled it, she just piled the origin of the photo on the frame after re-inserting it into the drawer on her dresser. The woman wiped her tears, then headed for the bathroom.

It was as if he had a shadow of himself and also Maryam who was eating there. Because that table used to be their favorite place.

The area is closer to the glass, so they can eat while looking at the road outside the food stall.

It has been a few years since I still remember her beautiful look, her laughter.

Akhri turned to look at Nia who was devouring her food. On the side was Hussein who was also eating alone. While Alma their second child was walking around in a restaurant that sold a variety of food menus. The location is quite large it can accommodate many people because there are two steps. With his nanny the boy just kept walking around, looking around for anything that interested him.

As you wish, Brother is trying to love Nia wholeheartedly. Although it is actually very difficult to accept and improve your relationship with Nia first. But finally you can, although not completely, all for the sake of Hussein.

Akhri fixed the glasses he was wearing. Seen his son was very happy to show his thumb to Abinya.

"Enak, huh? Brother likes?" Ask Akhri. The boy immediately smiled as the mangosteen filled his mouth.

"Abang likes this, this, this, everything you like," he replied as he pointed to some fries in front of him. Makes Akhri smile. Same with Nia who was laughing.

"Then finish the meal, son. But still slowly, yes," he said as he rubbed his fire-covered head. Then opened the black package next to his plate containing a pickled mango that he bought on the road, earlier. After that, open the lid, stick a plastic fork into one of the mango pieces.

"Bi–" call Nia. Making Akhri lift his head glanced at his wife, "his origin is in eating at home. Abisin used to be Abi's food..."

"Yes, I only want to eat one, really," he replied. Who immediately put a small piece of mango into his mouth. After that, close the box again.

"So I love to buy pickles. But just eat one, it's over. Mubasir..."

Akhri just smiled. Then go back to grab the spoon.

Honestly, you don't really like salinan, but now you so often eat this. When I remember Him. You know, you can't miss him anymore. But sometimes the heart that is disturbed by itself makes you lose. Just keep trying hard not to find out about him. For the sake of being able to forget.

Akhri chewed his food with a slight bitter taste in his chest. Maybe true, the presence of two children will even present another one that is still in the womb Nia makes him happy.

But the heart cannot lie. His love for Nia, not as deep as it used to be for Maryam. But that does not mean he is evil and has no feelings at all. There is still a heart for Nia even though only fifty percent of it is divided because of the child.

Every human being has its flaws. As well as the test that makes it a point of weakness; that is, when he has dropped his heart then he will be difficult to forget, and need extra strength to be able to strengthen his faith.

While Maryam not only ever made him fall in love. More than that, live one room and separate in a time when the heart still loves him very much. Making Him feel like he was being kicked out of his happiness room. It was so painful for Akhri that it took a long time to fully heal.
