Chris rubbed his long hair gently. Now Chris let Sesil sit on the edge of the bed after a while ago getting a satisfactory answer from the woman's lips.
Sesil was still silent since then, although Chris always floated his sweet smile accompanied by sweet promises for their future.
Once upon a time, even a few minutes ago, Sesil was still very frightened and traumatized every time he saw Chris. But the gentle voice of the man, as well as the way Chris treated him, certainly made the woman's heart touched.
Sesil had never felt the attitude of someone as gentle as Chris gave. The fear just disappeared, melted down somewhere.
"Your eye bags are so black, you must rarely sleep?" the man said as he rubbed Sesil's eye bags with his thumb.
The woman's lips shriveled, confirming Chris' words. Since being punished by Reygan, Sesil no longer feels calm in every sleep. Every night, there was anxiety that disturbed his mind, so even to be closed, his eyes were very difficult.
"Look at me Sesil" said Chris, for Sesil had since lowered his head. His hand raised Sesil's chin to look at him.
"Don't be afraid to look at me. Didn't I promise not to hurt you?"
Sesil was still silent, making Chris exhale slowly. "This lips too, ever since I saw you, I've never seen you smile. Like this, just bend your lips, " Chris tried to touch Sesil's lips trying to make him smile. But unexpectedly, Sesil even distanced his face.
The woman's bead looks alert when it feels threatened by the movement of Chris who tries to reach his lips suddenly.
Chris was stunned to see Sesil. Obviously the woman reflexes away from him and Chris knows clearly the cause of Sesil like this is severe trauma. Yes, the trauma has not disappeared completely even though the fear is starting to disappear.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You must be surprised" said Chris trying to calm the woman down.
The atmosphere became quiet in some time. Both of them were silent and busy with their minds.
Tok tok tok tok
The two compactly turned their heads towards the door after sounding someone calling. Naina went into the room.
"Sister, Sesil, let's have lunch. You must be hungry." said Naina.
Naina immediately took Sesil, "Come, I've been eating Sesil's and Kaka's favorite as well."
"Believe Brother." said Sesil. Chris followed them from behind.
The man's mind was filled with Sesil. Sesil is now back with his family and living comfortably. But Chris could see nothing less than the woman.
The woman lost her spirit in life. There was no smile, nor love emanated from the woman. Making Sesil does not change it like a living statue that only obeys everyone.

After finishing lunch with his future wife, Chris finally chatted with Rudi. The man intends to marry Sesil as soon as possible.
Chris still felt awkward, because of his guilt for the person who used to trust him so much. But Chris tried to behave like what they used to be, because after all when Rudi was no longer angry with him.
Chris shrugged his shoulders, "I'm just trying to convince him Om" he said with a friendly smile.
Rudi sighed, "Thank God. But Om didn't expect Sesil to agree that easily. Sesil is stubborn, and Om thinks you won't be able to get married in the next few months. I'm proud of you."
Chris just nodded.
"Before, since Om knew you, Om had thought of introducing you to Sesil. But given how mischievous and defiant the boy is, Om throws the plan away. Because Om is sure you will not be able to face his attitude is very childish." said Rudi.
"really?" Chris did not expect. The man was even now curious as to what the nature of Sesil used to be. Is it so that Rudi and Reygan raise their hands in the face?
"But who would have thought, you were met with such a complicated situation. And now my dissident daughter has turned three hundred and sixty degrees. He is quiet and likes to shut himself up. Om is very worried if anything happens to him." lamented Rudi.
"Om, after Sesil became my wife, Om don't have to worry anymore. Me, her husband will definitely guard and protect Om's daughter" said Chris who made Rudi chuckle.
"Om pretty sure it's kid. Even Om is calmer if Sesil is with you than the same Om. Om saw it for yourself, when you took care of Naina so well while in Germany." praised the man.
"So when are you planning to marry Sesil?"
Chris smiled, "If the preparation is quick, maybe in two weeks Om."
Rudi raised his eyebrows, "That fast?"
"I can't let our daughter have an obscure status Om" the man said confidently.
Rudi chuckled, "Good. Om agrees. Om is also impatient to introduce Stella to all colleagues Om." he said excitedly.
Chris nodded, "But Om, can't Chris bring Sesil and Stella to stay with me during our wedding preparations?" Chris took a look, Rudi who was trying to understand his words.
Rudi raised his eyebrows, a sign of disagreeing less with his request.
"I just want Sesil to get used to my presence Om. It means nothing. From the movements of Sesil, I can feel Sesil's fear in me Om. Maybe if I try to approach him in two weeks, hopefully Sesil will not be too shocked at our wedding" explained Chris.
Hearing Chris' words, there is a point as well. After all what he was worried about, they would get married as soon as possible, there was nothing to worry about anymore.
Rudi nodded in agreement, "Alright. I agree."
