Mother To Cilla

Normal Man

That night as usual Hardi came home late, he only arrived home at 11 pm. Hardi to Cilla's room first, he saw Cilla sleeping accompanied by Lia. Then tonight Sarah sleeps in their room, Hardi thought.

Hardi opened the door of her room and indeed Sarah was asleep on the bed with her back to sleep. Hardi put down his bag and opened his suit and tie, he went to clean himself into the bathroom. Afterwards he changed into his sleeping pajamas. Before Hardi headed to the sofa he looked closely at Sarah's sleeping face. Without realizing it, he approached her and sat on the edge of the bed beside Sarah.

Hardi continued to look at him, his hands flapping the hair that covered his wife's face a little, again he looked at her face. He looked one by one area of his face, from his forehead, nose, eyes to his lips.

"Beautiful" Hardi murmured, suddenly he felt a desire that made him palpitate, he brought his face closer to his wife's face. He kissed his wife's forehead. Sarah's not moving a bit still asleep. Then he dared to kiss his wife's lips at a glance, Sarah still did not react. Once again Hardi tried to close his lips back and kiss Sarah's lips, slowly began to move his lips on Sarah's closed lips, Hardi long enough to do that until Sarah wriggled in her sleep. It made Hardi flinch in shock and stopped her kiss. Seeing Sarah back silent and still asleep, maybe Sarah only moves reflexes when she sleeps.

Afraid that Sarah would wake up, Hardi immediately turned to the Sofa and laid herself there as usual and wrapped herself around her head.

"What's wrong with me tonight? Why did that desire reappear? The desire I once felt when I married Wulan. I have the right to ask Sarah for my rights, but that is impossible. Sarah has not fully recovered from her trauma, if I force her it will only aggravate her trauma. Hardi, hold it and try to sleep." Inner Hardi calmed herself while kicking the blanket she was wearing.

*Morning of the day

Sarah was tidy in her work clothes and was sitting on the edge of her bed. He seemed to be daydreaming while holding his lips with a blank look.

"It felt like someone kissed me last night. It was warm on my lips, but I didn't know it was real or just a dream. If the dream but the warmth really feels like real but if it's real continue who kissed me? What is Mr Hardi? Ah. There's no way he, maybe I'm just a dream, it's just a dream" Sarah said, then gently banged her head with both palms.

Hardi noticed Sarah's strange behavior when she came out of the bathroom.

"You why?" tanya Hardi was still drying her hair using the small towel in her hands.

"Nothing" Sarah replied spontaneously as she was slightly startled by her husband's voice.

"Any" Hardi murmured then headed to the closet to change clothes, Sarah who heard him just frown and then came out of her room.

So far Sarah has routinely undergone psychological therapy from the best psychiatrist chosen by her husband and now her trauma has been slightly reduced even though it has not been fully healed, maybe with time the trauma will disappear completely.

At the Office Hardi was starting her meeting in her room with Rio and Aini. They discuss beauty products that will be mass produced and distributed to the market, the content contained therein and everything related to it. They decide to market it online, if the sales are high, they will only sell through outlets that they later prepare.

Without Hardi knowing, Aini always stole a glance at him and sometimes smiled thinly. While Hardi was just busy explaining the discussion about the project without regard to anything else. While Rio continued to pay attention to Aini, realizing Aini's gaze on Hardi and making her feel uneasy, because Rio actually already liked Aini the first time they met.

"How can this product be produced as soon as possible?" aini asked after hearing Hardi's long explanation.

"After everything is in order and in accordance with what you think planned, it will certainly be in production soon" replied Hardi.

"We also have to look for more investors who want to join our new business, I will try to contact some clients maybe they are interested in investing in us" said Rio added.

"Well, I'll also contact my acquaintances hopefully someone will join. If there is no more discussion, then I say thank you first, thank you" said Aini then moved from his seat to greet the two of them and then out of the room Hardi.

Rio ventured to talk to Hardi about what he noticed earlier about Aini who was paying attention to Hardi.

"Sir, I saw that Aini ma'am seemed to be interested in the father, because during the occasional meeting he stole a glance at Mr. Hardi" said Rio.

"Don't bother you, maybe you just look at it wrong." said Hardi casually.

"I'm home" said Hardi like never before.

"Eh sir Hardi's home yet?" Sarah approached Hardi and took her bag.

They both walked to his room.

"Where's cilla?" ask Hardi.

"He's asleep, it's 9pm now" Sarah replied.

During the ride, the hands of the merrka are so close because they walk side by side. Hardi glanced at his hand and moved his hand as if he was going to hold it but hesitated. Finally arrived in front of the room, Hardi did not hold his wife's hand.

"Why sir? how dumb!" Hardi just kept quiet and didn't open the door to her room.

"Eh.. no" Hardi immediately regained consciousness and opened the door to his room.

"Oh yeah, I forgot, did Mr. Hardi want to make coffee?" ask Sarah to offer.

"May, make black coffee and don't be too sweet" Hardi replied.

Sarah came back out of the room to make coffee for her husband.

Hardi threw herself on the sofa. Then he breathed hard.

"Huh.why to hold his hand I don't dare. I was so afraid he reacted like that. But it's been 3 months more Sarah got her psychological therapy, has she been completely cured. Oh yeah, I forgot. Why don't I call her psychiatrist! I'm a complete fool. I tried to call a psychiatrist first mumoung Sarah has not returned" murmured Hardi then grabbed a cell phone in his pocket.

"Hello! mr. Hardi, can I help you!" said psychiatrist.

"Sorry Doc, I want to ask my wife!" ask Hardi.

"Oh Ma'am Sarah, yes, Sarah is in stable condition from the signs that she shows look normal. It seems that Sarah's mother has forgotten her trauma. I'm sure that Sarah's better than before" explains Psychiatrist.

"That's it if you're so grateful doc" Hardi hung up his phone without knowing Sarah was in front of him.

"Who's Uncle Hardi talking to?" sarah's question shocked Hardi.

"Oh... The client of the company" Hardi was a bit nervous.

"Yes, here's the coffee sir. I'm gonna go to bed first" Sarah went to bed and laid herself down.

Hardi was just staring at his wife from afar while sipping coffee made by Sarah which in taste very delicious.
