Marrying a Mysterious Man

Go - END

Edwin wiped away the remains of tears on Kalala's cheeks, cupped the woman's cheeks and looked at her tenderly.

“Already, don't cry anymore, yes. I'm fine, you don't need to feel guilty about having to go away from me, and you don't need to feel guilty about Jackson's current condition.”

“What you are doing right now is right. We need to be able to keep Jackson mentally in check first. I won't be angry. I know, the distance between us in the future might be an obstacle to our relationship. But, believe me, Kalala, I will always trust you. Wherever you are, with whoever you are, as I know, in your heart there must always be me.”

“Do I not have to worry about that?” edwin said trying to toughen up, although in fact, in the bottom of his heart, he was very sad if he had to be far away with Kalala. But, as mature as possible, as calm as possible, he must understand the current condition of Kalala and Jackson.

Kalala was silent and quiet hearing Edwin's words. The woman was a little more relieved, because in the end there were people who gave her encouragement with positive support to her.

“At a time when no one else could give me definite support. You are the only one who gave me that definite support, Edwin,” Kalala said slowly, with such deep eyes.

Edwin smiled at it. “I will always support you, Kalala. Is not mutual understanding in a relationship important? I'm doing this, because I want to understand everything about you, Kalala. I want to be the one who understands you the most.”

Kalala is increasingly made to fall in love with the figure of an adult man who is in front of her at this time. Whether it was as deep as what the sense he was immersed in at this time, for sure, the positive strength and spirit given by Edwin really made Kalala more affection and love for her lover.

“This is all a destiny we must pass, Kalala. Perhaps, this is also only a small portion of pebbles that block our path, and in the future will certainly be more pebbles and stones problems that block our relationship. But, I'm sure, no matter how hard it is, we will definitely be able to live it.”

“Please your mind and heart, Kalala. I too here will always take care of my heart for you,” Edwin said so sincerely.

Really, Kalala did not know what to say anymore, but previously Kalala had thought that Edwin would be disappointed in him. Edwin would definitely be upset by this decision he took alone. But in reality, it turned out that his man was far from what he thought. Edwin was really gentle, loving and able to give more confidence to her.

Kalala increasingly feel lucky because Edwin who became his encouragement at this time.

The tears came to a halt, along with the sweet smile that had sprung up on the beautiful face of Kalala.

“I love you more, Edwin,” Kalala said looking at Edwin very sincerely.

Edwin can also feel the sincerity of Kalala's expression of love. Not hesitant, he landed his lips on the thin red lips of his lover, pecking and sucking slowly, he said, then after that they hugged each other tightly releasing all the longing and affection that was enveloping their feelings both.

Day after day passed so quickly, it did not feel, now was the time for Kalala, Jackson and Baker to leave for America.

The current Singapore airport is very crowded. Many people pass by there, doing various activities and goals. The same goes for the Baker family today.

Shira, Tessa, Akash, and Edwin all head to the airport for their final farewells with Jackson and Kalala.

“Jackson Dear .. You must be strong yes, we here will definitely always mendo’mu. And sometime we will also definitely see you to America,” said Tessa, hugging and peeping Jackson's forehead as a farewell.

Jackson smiled. “Iya, Aunt, thank you.”

“Jackson, you definitely can. I'm sure you'll be cured soon. And someday, you can definitely hold your nephew,” Shira said encouragingly, while showing the baby Chiv she was carrying.

Jackson chuckled small. “Siya, Shira. If I am healed, I will definitely hold my nephew and bring him to play,” Jackson said trying to entertain himself.

“Dad, Dad take care of health yes.” Now it was Akash's turn to say goodbye to them.

“You too, Jackson. Take care, don't stress, if you need a storymate, you can call me. And Dad too, if you have any difficulties do not hesitate to call me or ask for my help.”

Baker and Jackson nodded at Akash's words. The two of them knew very well, how worried Akash was right now. Even since yesterday Akash still tried to persuade Baker to change his decision to bring Jackson to America. But, the best decision is indeed just an operation in America. So that was the only path Baker chose and it was impossible for him to change.

While Edwin, since then, he continued to look towards Kalala. The man seemed to be trying to come to terms with his current feelings. Because after all, Kalala is a woman who is very loved at this time. And parting like this with him, was certainly not an easy matter, there was a turbulent inner war in his heart and mind.

Jackson glanced at Edwin. Then call him slow. “Edwin,” said.

Edwin immediately shifted his focus to Jackson. “Iya, Mr.”

“Thank you for allowing Kalala to come with us. I know, it's gonna be hard for you, to part and be away from him. I also hope to recover soon, so that Kalala no longer needs to accompany or take care of me,” said Jackson smiling bitterly.

All eyes were on Jackson. Especially, Baker's gaze, for some reason but suddenly there was a sudden tightness in Baker's chest, when he heard his son say that.

Edwin suddenly stiffened, not knowing what he had to say to answer Jackson's remarks.

“It's okay, right now your health and recovery are more important, sir. After all, I can still contact Kalala via phone,” he replied, while glancing at Kalala who was smiling at him.

Jackson nodded slowly. Then take his breath. “Alright, it seems like the inner bond between you guys is very strong huh. I no longer need to worry about your relationship,” Jackson said.

Baker understood what his son said.

“Alright, then we will leave first, you guys are also careful yes, take care of yourself and your health.” Baker gives a hug to Tessa, Akash and Shira in turn. Not to forget, he also gave a few kisses on the handsome and anxious face of baby Chiv. His first and favorite grandson, Mr. Baker.

“Chivarly, Grandpa departs first yes. See you later,” said Baker smiled and rubbed Chiv's head softly.

The atmosphere at the airport is crowded, increasingly made crowded by the sound of an announcement that they must immediately check in, because soon the plane they are boarding will take off.

The atmosphere became blue, as Baker, Jackson and Kalala left.

“I am here will always mendo’akanmu, Kalala,” lyir Edwin very slowly inaudible by anyone.

***

Kalala looked at the expanse of clouds through the small window beside her. Inhaling the air within the plane, while releasing all the restless and uneasy that enveloped his heart.

Then he smiled, remembering last night. It was a beautiful night with Edwin.

Then he turned his gaze to a beautiful object that was coiled in the left hand of his ring finger. It was a very beautiful and sparkling blue gem ring, which Edwin deliberately gave to him as a binding sign.

“The problem of life is like the waves on the beach, he will always come, but in time he will go.”

“Although God is currently giving me a test, but I am sure, I can definitely pass all these tests. Moreover, I am very sure, if the sense of loss that I am feeling at this time, later God will replace with a happy feeling that is too beautiful,” his mind again smiled, trying to strengthen his heart and mind.

Jackson who sat beside Kalala, he glanced at the woman who had been smiling herself since then.

“I am very impressed with your relationship with Edwin,” said Jackson suddenly, making Kalala immediately turned her head and was torn from her daydream.

“You guys are very lucky, because it can strengthen each other like this.”

Kalala was still silent, confused how to respond.

“I'm sorry, Kalala,” Ogre Jackson suddenly made both eyebrows Kalala immediately wrinkled.

“Sorry for what?”

“Sorry because of me, the distance between you guys is so far apart.”

Silent, there was no reply, only a smile that Kalala showed to Jackson.

Suddenly, Kalala's two hands cupped Jackson's. Both of their beads stared at each other with such a deep gaze.

“No need to apologize, Jackson. It is precisely I who should thank you, because after all you have saved my life.”

“And I too, did this to save you,” said Kalala, leaving Jackson astonished not to understand.

“Saving me?”

Kalala nodded. “I want to save the spirit of your life, Jackson. I want to save your unfulfilled dreams, I also want to save your hopes. For that, I am here to accompany you and help you. And now you don't have to worry about me anymore, Jackson,” he said very sincerely, making Jackson stunned to hear it.

Jackson smiled softly. For some reason, but the words said by Kalala just now, seemed to arouse his spirit. He knew to be able to heal and return to normal would indeed take a lot of time. But, if you remember a lot of his dreams that have not been achieved, Jackson again felt the hope. The hope that he must be healed, at least he must be healed so that he can realize his dreams that have not been achieved.

“Then, do you also want to help me to realize my dreams?” ask Jackson.

Kalala paused for a moment, then blinked her eyes slowly, nodding slowly. “Sure, while I can, I will definitely help you,” he replied.

Life is a place where people pass by. Someone comes and someone goes. Including the people we love. Sometimes the wanted even disappeared, the pursued instead ran and the awaited even left.

Life is full of puzzles and tests. But, believe me, God will not give a test beyond the ability of each servant. The key to a happy life is just one, which is to be grateful and always feel enough with what you have.

Like Jackson today, maybe his life is too miserable than others. But, the riddle of life that no one knows. To be sure, something beautiful even too beautiful will come to him later. All he needed to do now was, try to make peace with his circumstances, accept all the exams he received and be grateful for what he already had.

END and thank you**.**
