My Love is Wrong

That's how I love Ara

Day change day. Ara and Pipin's relationship is good. I'm relieved.

I told Pipin, my wife, that the business I am building now is a business supported by Ara. So Ara and I worked together to develop it.

And I am grateful that Pipin understands and supports me. I told Pipin how I formed my partnership with Ara. Only my wife and I know.

Today I feel less fit, so I'm not going to the office.

"Dec... Today Papa did not go to the office, like Papa is not feeling well anymore. Papa pegel's body all. Please go to the printing press... Please cast a picture that Papa made yesterday." I said to Rahma.

"Yes Pa... Papa rest at home. Later go to the printing. Coincidentally today adek also no private tutoring. So free time."

"Yes. Be careful on the road."

Rahma agreed and kissed my hand and her mother took turns as she was about to leave for the office.

Pipin is now getting better because Pipin routinely do herbal treatment.

"Pa.. I'd better go to the doctor later... I saw Papa from yesterday was less fit. Later let us take ma Rahma or Sabila. Yeah Pa..."

"Let's just Mom later, Papa wants to rest first."

"Yes Pa..." I also headed to the room.

I'm trying to sleep. I drank the warm water that my wife had provided and then I laid my body on the bed.

Maybe because of the effect of the medicine I took I became a bit sleepy and I slept for a long time.

About 2 hours later my wife woke me up.

"What time is this, ma'am? " Tanyaku.

" It's noon Pa..

Papa sleeps very fast, almost 2 hours more Papa sleep."

"Ooh yeah...." I rubbed my eyes and I sat looking at my wife.

"Mom... Papa seneng once saw mom is now healthy."

My wife approached me, then touched my forehead.

"Yes Pa... You also need to be healthy like your mother...Later in the afternoon Papa went to the doctor... Ne Papa's like his fever."

I nodded, because after waking up my body still feels pegel and my eyes feel warm.

"Yes Ma... Let Papa go to the doctor himself, Mom. Nothing, but Papa can still walk and ride his own motorbike."

"Yeah Pa...But ride the bike slowly yaa..." Wife says.

In the afternoon I went to the doctor myself. After the doctor checked, I was given medicine. Then I went home. On the way home, I stopped by the office.

Until the office turns out Rahma is out. The office is locked, but I have a spare key.

I rest while sitting in front of my laptop. I checked all the orders that have been entered and that have not been done.

I'm happy to see the growth of the business I'm building. I just want to realize my dreams seeing the effort I built can succeed.

I remember Ara...

Ara who believes in me, Ara who always supports me, who wants to work with me when I often fail in my business.

Ara and I call occasionally, but it's just business. We no longer make video calls. We keep the commitments we have agreed to for the sake of our families.

For me it's still hard, but I love Ara so much, seeing her happy is enough for me. That's how I love and love Ara.

Right now I suddenly miss Ara. Very homesick. I just want to see it.

I pressed the phone button, and Ara picked it up.

"b... How are you?" I said.

"I'm fine, Pram. How are you yourself? Healthy right?"

"Yes, I'm healthy." I said, but my breath was a little short. I hid my pain from Ara, I don't want Ara to worry.

"Thank God... I'm glad to hear it Pram."

"Yes Ar... Ara, sorry... Can I see you?" I said.

" Prim.... Hmmm ...." Ara sounded hesitant.

" Well, if it's okay."

But Ara then switched to a video call.

" What's wrong Pram? How did you want to see me?"

I looked at the face of Ara, the person I love so much. Her innocent face, her motherly face... I saw Ara looking worried.

" Prim... You're healthy, right? " Said Ara.

I'm nodding. And I try to hide my breath that feels tight.

I switched to a regular call.
