Today Dylan did not leave for the office, from yesterday his body was hot and Ziena was also not allowed to go to college because she wanted to take care of her husband. Although the relationship is not good he still carries out his duties as a wife.
This morning Ziena called her husband's personal doctor. The doctor said Dylan was just exhausted. "you eat first yuk used up the medicine"
Dylan shook his head. "no *****"
"if you don't eat, you don't take the medicine to get well from nowhere" Ziena said
Last morning Dylan also said the same thing, no *****. He was just about to eat after hearing Ziena's scolding. To be honest he was forced to eat because otherwise his wife would continue to nag and would not stop.
"yes we have to go to the hospital, let you be infused" Ziena threatened
Dylan woke up from his sleep, he immediately leaned on the back of the bed. Honestly his head was still dizzy but he still forced to sit down to eat. "take here the food" said Dylan
Ziena gave a bowl of chicken porridge made by Bu Inah earlier. "not spent anything important your stomach has content" said Ziena
Dylan nodded, he began to stuff the porridge into his mouth. After four spoons he gave the bowl to Ziena. Then Ziena gave Dylan some water and medicine to drink. "i'll go downstairs, later if you need anything just call me or Ms. Inah" Ziena said
Dylan did not reply, he still noticed Ziena who was preparing a compress for him. After putting a cold towel on her husband's forehead Ziena left. Dylan watched his wife's every treatment. True Alex said, Ziena was very kind to him.
Under Ziena helped Bu Inah who was washing dishes. "no, it's mom's job"
"it's all right, ma'am, it's just a little"
"don't you eat blind pay anymore" said Bu Inah laughing
Such is their interaction. "non-exhausted this permission mom to the store front want to shop for home needs because it is already at the end" said Bu Inah
"in front of the complex isn't Ma the toast seller?" asked Ziena to make sure
"yes non"
"then I can't all nitip pineapple jam toast Ma'am"
"yes, it can be non"
"nitip four yes Bu two pineapple jams equal two chocolate jams" Ziena said as she gave twenty pieces of the hundred thousand denomination, coincidentally he brought his wallet earlier because he wanted to buy ice puters that often pass in front of his house.
"so less for shopping?"
"this is mostly non"
"yes, later mom if shopping is a bit in question so do not go back and forth to buy" said Ziena
Mom Inah nodded after it left.
Ziena walked to the guard post. "the ice princess who usually roams around the front of the house has passed by what yet?" ask him on duty
"not yet"
"later if it's past please stop my sales paternity want to buy the problem" explained Ziena
After saying that he walked towards the porch of the house while waiting for the ice seller's daughter to pass. Shortly thereafter, there was the typical sound of an ice puter seller.
Tong Tong Tong Tong
His voice was so distinctive, coming from a small iron gong that was struck using wood the size of a hand grip.
The security guard called the seller and Ziena immediately approached him. "how many ice cubs?" ask Ziena
"pack two sir"
Ziena bought two, one for her and the other for the security guard. She couldn't have bought her husband ice because he was sick. "thank you miss" said the security guard
............
"what are you doing here?" ask Dylan
This afternoon, he decided to take a warm bath and finish the work he had been living in from yesterday.
He also told Bu Inah to deliver his dinner to his room because there were so many reports that he had to finish.
It was only ten in the night that Dylan walked out of his room. He also immediately decided to go to bed, but when he opened the door he saw his wife sitting on the balcony of their room, he thought Ziena had slept from earlier.
Ziena looked at her husband's face "sitting down" she replied
It was true Ziena's answer. He was sitting and enjoying the night breeze. "not sleeping?"
"not sleepy"
Dylan shifted the chair next to him. "I noticed you often sit by yourself like this" Dylan said without looking at Ziena
"yes, I like doing it"
After that was just silence between them. "na" called Dylan, this time he looked at Ziena
"iya" Ziena turned to look at her husband
"sorry" he said as he clasped Ziena's hand
Ziena was silent. "I apologize for all my treatment, my rude remarks and anything that has hurt you all along"
"today I beg you to start everything from scratch, we open a new page, we live our new lives together"
"do you want to, right?" ask Dylan expectantly
Ziena was silent. His heart rippled between yes and no. Keep in mind his heart is not as sure as it used to be, now more doubt than sure.
Ziena took her hand off Dylan's. "i don't know what to answer"
"during my marriage I felt no difference between my past and present life, I was always Ziena, only my own status changed and my heart was not as confident as it used to be to maintain this marriage" ziena
Dylan stepped up, then prostrated himself at Ziena's feet. "I don't know how to get rid of your doubts and I know that I'm an asshole man who doesn't want to admit his own feelings"
"i was caught between my promises with Mela and stuck in the love that grew for you, I don't know what to do, I was confused"
Dylan raised his head to look into Ziena's eyes. "please give me a chance to mend our relationship"
Ziena patted her husband on the shoulder, "mas don't do this, I can't answer now" she said as she stood about to leave
Dylan immediately hugged Ziena from behind, put his head on Ziena's shoulder. "I want you to answer now na, I want to hear what you're making today, I beg you" he whispered
Ziena shed her tears. The wall that he built up high finally collapsed as well. "yes I give you a chance to improve our relationship, but if someday you repeat your actions do not expect a word back mas"
"thank you, I promise I won't make the same mistake" Dylan said happily
Dylan turned Ziena's body upside down, he kissed his wife's long forehead and hugged her tightly. His limp and dizziness suddenly dissipated. Is this the power of love? able to heal his pain
