Love Without But

Baya Part Chat

Two days passed after Wijaya's funeral.

Elmira still looks moody and not much activity.

Willy had persuaded several times but Elmira still looked sad.

Like today, Willy was seen taking Elrumi to play in the backyard without Elmira. Because Elmira was still reluctant to come out of her room.

"Is Elmira not going out of the room yet?"ask Daddy Roland to Mommy Ararinda

"Eh.you have come home from the office." said Mommy Ararinda when she saw Daddy Roland standing in front of her.

"yeah..."

"Do I want to make you some coffee?"

"Can..."

"Wait a minute.."

"I'm waiting in the library over ya Rin.."

"Let me bring it up.."

Moments later, Ararinda was in the library room with a cup of coffee for Daddy Roland who was sitting on the sofa.

"You don't shower first?"

"It's just now.."

"Ck.cepet bener..paju hek replace.but cook yes you take a bath.." said Mommy Ararinda did not believe.

Mommy Ararinda handed over her homemade coffee and sat down next to Daddy Roland.

"You made it Rin's own?"ask Daddy Roland shortly after drinking a coffee made by Mommy Ararinda.

"hmm.iya.why?"

"i thought you told aunt to make it.."

"And I offered you coffee.not aunt.Why?my coffee is not good?"

"E.no.just so..your coffee is still the same taste.."

"How same?"

"Ha..??so yeah.haha."

"I'm glad I don't have diabetes.."

"I feel like I tried it..."

"Hm..what did Willy say when he brought you here?"

"What?"

"Willy must have said something, right?"

"Hmm.yeah.."

Momentarily Daddy Roland and Mommy Ararinda fell silent..

"Hm.I know you're a strong man.

You must have kept your own wounds long ago.and I know you've always sacrificed for others..I know, without me saying be patient you must have patience as wide as the ocean.without me saying strong.I know you are an incredibly strong man.."said Mommy Ararinda without looking at Daddy Roland

"You praise me too much Rin.I'm not the man you mentioned.I'm not a strong man.I'm not a man full of patience.I'm just a man who can't fight for his wishes..fighting for his love.because of his fear." said Daddy Roland while looking out the window.

"You're talking about my fears in my youth hm...?"ask Mommy Ararinda

"Not you .not me.but us.we were helpless then..."

"Why don't you tell me your wife betrayed you.even with Vijaya I know she's your best friend.although I also know Wijaya is your wife's ex-lover.."

"I just don't want anyone to know my pain..."

"You..always.so strong..."

"I just want to show someone that I always keep my promise.the promise when we let go of our hand...

even though we were both injured..

She..always smile at me.and her smile is the only thing that makes me strong.even at the worst time of my life.only by remembering her smile.I can live all this..."

"Roland.." - Mommy Ararinda.

"Everday when I miss him so much, even when he comes back.so long as I embrace him.release all the feelings.sickness..balance...even my taste is still the same..."
