After giving congratulations. Alex went down as well as Rei while Arkha who still did not understand just smiled letting her guest leave the stage. The two men go hand in hand but the distance of their relationship has become more tenuous since Aira was injured.
Alex turned to face Rey who was following him, "Can you be friends with me again? I know, it's all because of my ego. Don't you want to forgive your old friend?"
"As long as you don't hurt Aira anymore" Rei said, confirming Alex's intentions.
Alex bowed his head, he knew full well how hurt and tormented Aira was over his preferred ego. "Rei, I don't want to give you any new wounds. My only intention is to apologize and wish happiness to a woman who can become a grown girl."
"We'd better sit down and talk as men, come on!" invite Rei does not want to be a spectacle because they can hinder others who want to congratulate the couple.
The two of them sat in a corner and faced each other. A moment of silence set the word in the mind so as not to mispronounce. Especially after a long time apart due to Aira's problem. The two men were no longer close.
Suddenly Rei reached out, "Let's befriend, again. I guess the past is for a lesson and not for a hand in hand. By the way how is your life now? Why not bring your wife. You guys are married, right?"
The question instantly presented a slow throb. It's very curious to say how the wheel of time spins but all is fair in love and war. The destiny line that meets time will always repeat itself until it returns to its original point.
"Rei, you've been away for too long until you don't know where we are. Nature still gives the sow a harvest." Alex said after stopping his pangs.
What does Alex mean? Confused because it is not peham so just staring at the friend with a question mark that makes Alex justify the sitting position while sighing long. The sound of breathing sounded so tired.
"Everything is not in line with expectations. Roses are not like Aira. Although Aira is cold but she knows how to live and maintain relationships, while Rose? That girl loves to play." The drifting mind enjoyed the memories that were rolling inside its head.
"Rose became engaged to me in order to be free from the rules of her family even too often on behalf of me as an excuse for the road. She travels a lot with other men but permits with both parents, going with me. Until one day my sudden arrival to give gifts from mother managed to uncover one truth.
"I remember for one week going out of town with my mother and when I came home, I was asked to take a souvenir. The two Rose parents were happy to see me but as I sat down, they suddenly asked where the Rose was. How would I know? We just don't have an appointment.
"So I asked him again, is the rose not home. The answer I got was very surprising because the Roses were on the road with me. Although not picked up, still using my name is enough permission given. Of course the situation is confusing.
"Without creating any problems. I was frank if for a week outside the city with the mother even Rose very rarely contact us as long as we are far away. Looking at the doubts in their eyes, my cell phone was used as evidence. Finger-counted communication makes everything clear.
"We were confused because the Rose always permits to go outside every day. Finally the deal happened to do a real search for evidence. The perfect plan is made just to know the activities of the Roses while outdoors. In just three days, everything was plastered so clearly in plain sight.
"When the Rose went with another man. His father had someone as a stalker and was in charge of taking all the pictures and information that could be obtained while I was only allowed to sit in a special room accompanied by the girl's parents. On the third day we all decided to follow the Roses.
"We saw a bed struggle that was not worth watching. Well the middle rose gives satisfaction to other men who came out of nowhere. Mother did not want to have a daughter-in-law of a cheap woman so the engagement was canceled at that time" concluded Alex ended the story.
Rei also felt pain because he did not think the karma obtained by Alex was more aware of selfishness was not good to maintain. "Prophey, then is there a replacement?"
"Later on, it's hard to find a woman with maturity like Aira. You know what that means." Alex replied with a smile of sincerity.
"Don't start, there are still a lot of women out there. It's all just the past. So continue your life. Look at him smiling happily with beautiful eyes twinkle." Rei turned his eyes towards the stage making Alex force himself to stay up.
Aira looks happy with the choice that she thinks is much different from herself in any aspect. "I know he deserves to be happy. It turns out forgetting a sincere person is so hard."
The chatter of the two old friends gradually relaxed without any pressure. One by one the guests began to leave the Aira residence but the couple decided to stay at the same hotel where the groom's sister was staying. For a few days just enjoy the legal marriage.
The wedding night is always expected by sharing the love for the new couple. It was precisely silence because Aira seemed to dissolve in her own thinking not even hearing Arkha's call. The man walked up to his wife, then touched her shoulder.
"My wife, what's going on? Why not hear my call. What are you thinking?" arkha asked trying to figure out the problem his wife had.
Eyes blink. She realized the whereabouts of her husband. The body that stands in front becomes the backrest as the most comfortable place to greet gentle strokes on the head. "Sorry, Rain. Some things just suddenly came to mind and I couldn't prevent it."
"Tell me what's troubling your mind? I want my wife to smile and be calm." Arkha asked really curious to see his wife's sweet face covered in cloudy clouds.
Let go of the embrace, then pull the hand of the husband to sit next to him. The couple sat nearby but Aira was still silent while Arkha looked at the woman while waiting for the speech that would be the answer after the silence.
Slowly Aira explained the story of her past. About Alex being the first lover but she made sure not to invite the ex to the wedding. He also said that he had forgiven and forgotten all that just did not deny the wound could still be felt.
The short but on target story leads Arkha to lead his wife to sit facing him. The gazes of the eyes clinging to each other immersed themselves in trust. "Aira, all that is just the past and lagging behind. None of them will come into the future.
"I know, the heart can still feel the wound but I'm here to be your medicine. Your heart will forget that pain, now we are there to love each other. We can solve all problems together. I love you so much, my wife Aira Khan." continued Arkha and buried a warm kiss on her forehead.
A tired body is only able to lean in the warm embrace of the husband. It is comfortable to spend the night forgetting the past. The night will always be long when the heart falls in sorrow but feels short the blessing of the heart in love.
