Loving You In The Dark

True love

A month later.

"Take medicine first, baby" Arkan feeds Amanda with pills that have been dissolved into the water, Amanda's condition is increasingly concerned right, now he can not swallow well.

Amanda's body is now just a bone wrapped in pale dry skin.

There was no more beauty on Amanda's face, her body was weakened, she could only sit in a wheelchair, without being able to walk.

Although there is nothing more to expect from Amanda, Arkan is always faithful to take care of her.

For three days he could not swallow, only fruit juice and fruitful food could enter through his mouth.

Arkan hasn't worked in a month, he's always been next to Amanda.

Arkan wears Amanda a dress, and a veil, Amanda's hair is now slowly growing, but the cancer is getting out of control and invading Amanda's body which makes her even more helpless, perhaps only a great power of love for her husband, Amanda is able to survive until now.

Arkan is making his bed, he nods Amanda's body to the wheelchair.

"Mas," call Amanda down.

"What's the matter, baby ?" ask Arkan who approached Amanda.

"Mas, I want to go to the beach and see the sunset for the last time" he said softly and barely heard.

Arkan swallowed his saliva, does this mean it's time for Amanda to leave.

Arkan shed his tears of sorrow, "Of course, whatever you ask, Mas must follow," he said, peeping at Amanda's forehead.

Amanda is now like a skull wrapped in skin. There is no more beauty on her face, but it does not fade Arkan's love for her.

Love that happens in a very short time, even Arkan prefers that helpless Amanda, from Dyah a woman who is near perfection.

After replacing his wife's clothes with covered clothes, he also rubbed Amanda a veil, to cover her slowly growing hair.

Nita enters the room and sees Arkan changing Amanda's clothes.

"Where are you taking Amanda ?" ask Nita ma'am.

"Amanda, he wants to see the sunset ma," replied Arkan.

Nita sees something different about her daughter, though she is reluctant to admit it, but she suspects that if Amanda's time is not much else, she kisses her daughter.

Amanda grabs the hand of the mother, and kisses her.

"Ma, I'm sorry Amanda yes, Amanda can not be devoted to Mama," he said very softly.

Arkan who was cleaning Amanda's clothes he also shed his tears.

"Bu Nita was crying, she loves to forgive mama too" he said while holding back the knife.

"Ma, if Amanda leaves, mama ridho right, what you have given Amanda," he said more sad.

Hearing that, Ms. Nita is getting sadder, but whatever the power, every living thing will certainly feel the death, she also could not bear if she had to hold Amanda to last longer.

Every day she saw how much the princess was suffering, because she was fighting an increasingly violent disease in her body.

Amanda suffered so much from her illness, but on the other hand, she was happy, because she had a husband who loved her and loved her sincerely, even Arkan did not complain in the least.

Arkan wept, curled up on the other side of the room unseen by Amanda.

Behind Amanda he always cried to see the state of his wife, but when in front of Amanda, not a little he showed his sadness, he looked strong and excited, it was all so that Amanda was also excited.

"Ma, Arkan will take Amanda to the beach."

Ms. Nita understands.

"Yes, son, I understand, " replied Nita.

Arkan also took Amanda's body and took her into a car, after saying goodbye to Bu Nita, they went straight to the beach.

Bu Nita sobbed as he watched Arkan's car slowly move away and disappear from his sight.

Along the way Amanda kept smiling, she seemed happy, Amanda leaned her body beside Arkan, no words came out of her mouth, only a smile was painted on her face.

"Why you, baby?" ask Arkan who is also smiling to see Amanda.

"I'm happy Mas" he smiled back.

A few seconds later, she shed her tears.

Arkan did not want to ask why he was so sad, he just kissed the head of the wife.

Along the way Arkan was surprised to see Amanda who sometimes smiled, sometimes she also cried.

Amanda's smiling moments roll back the beautiful memories of her life, including her brief love story with Arkan, and the moment she cries, he remembered that soon he would depart from this world and abandon his true love.

Arriving at the Arkan beach immediately nodded Amanda's body on the edge of the lonely beach.

The roll of waves that hit the edge of the reef, sound comfortable with in Amanda's ears, the atmosphere is so calm and comfortable.

Amanda flung her body beside Arkan.

The sun slowly sank, the beautiful sky was dusk, witness, his passing.

"Mas, it seems that my time is not long, I want to see the beauty of twilight at sunset, like the story of my life, before this death comes to pick me up, I want to spend time alone with you, I want to spend time alone with you, amanda's voice is getting slower."

Arkan just kept quiet, and just took a deep breath.

"Mas, I regretted the time, why haven't we met for a long time, maybe this happiness can be a little long I feel," his voice grew louder and more disjointed.

Arkan held Amanda's hand, "Let's love if in this world we are together only temporarily, maybe in the hereafter we will be together again, in eternity."

Amanda took a deep breath, then threw it out the heavier it was, the longer it was, the farther away it was, the harder it was to breathe.

"Mas a.ku.ak.u cin.ta.kamu.kamu.., "the word is choking.

Arkan's tears flowed unstoppably.

"I love you too" Arkan replied.

"A...ku.. per..gi Mas," he said the more difficult word by word that came out of his mouth.

Arkan was only able to endure his cries.

"Re.le kan a.ku Mas, " he said.

"He's willing and I love you, maybe this is the best for you, there you must be happy, because he loves you more," Arkan said stammeringly.

Amanda said two sentences before closing her eyes,

His body drooped withered, as his last breath shot.

"Akhhhhhh, "Arkan involuntarily screamed, as Amanda's body, drooping lifelessly weak.

* Soften, after that,

Dusk is sad, though,

The clouds are blowing, too,

Your departure, leaving a wound in my life,

I spin miss,

Regretting time, why first, why,

I'm not saying, man,

I love you, a million times a day.

You and all the memories,

time running, together,

I'm alone now, though,

Looking at your eyes is only a shadow,

There is nothing more painful than losing yourself*

Arkan wept profusely, shedding sorrow over the loss of someone he loved.

Arkan kissed Amanda on the cheek many times, although heavy but this is the reality that must be faced.

He lifted up Amanda's body, which was stiffened, and brought her home.

* You and your memories.
