Patience of My Husband

-

Arka and Monika have left the city to attend meetings with clients. And maybe he'll be home late today. But that's no longer a problem for me. Because there is already Luna who will accompany my loneliness.

Luna came up to me who was reading a fashion magazine. "Auntie...We go for a walk. Yesterday Luna saw there was a swimming pool here. Luna wants to swim" he asked.

I paused for a moment to think, if I did, I would be afraid if I had met Farhan. But if I don't obey him, I don't want to make Luna disappointed and sad.

"Aunty?" Luna whining.

"Oh, baby, we're waiting for Arka to take a day off?" My love

"Yaaaahhh, why wait for Arka to have a holiday. Still long. Luna wanted it now" Rengek Luna with eyes that began to redden held back tears. I started to get confused with Luna's attitude.

"Okay baby, we're swimming. Did Luna have a swimsuit?" My toot.

"Bring, Luna is ready for it all" he replied no longer whining.

"Alright, Aunt get changed first" I immediately changed my clothes. Using a knee-length, sleeveless dress that made me very comfortable in hot weather like this.

I sent Arka a message that I was taking Luna to swim in the hotel area. Maybe Arka is still busy until a few minutes have not been read. Luna and I immediately left the room and headed downstairs where the pool was. I sat in an easy place to watch Luna while swimming.

"Aunty isn't swimming?" Ask Luna.

"No ah. Luna is swimming"

"Oke Aunt" Sahut.

"Don't go there, it's for adults. Luna is around here just swimming" I pointed to a pool that is special for children. Luna nodded and immediately ran into the water.

Seeing Luna's happy laughter made my heart feel so happy.

"Can you sit here?" Suddenly there was a voice that surprised me, not only his voice, but his person also surprised me greatly. Farhan, stand right beside me.

"Well, I'll stay seated even if you don't allow it" Without waiting for my answer Farhan sat directly on the chair next to me. And that was enough to make me round my eyes looking at her behavior.

"Hi, why are you just silent. I want to spend time with you. Come on. Don't look at me like that. Isn't this what you want. I always have time for you" Farhan said without guilt.

I exhaled a rough breath before starting to say "Yes, not now or so. Because I'm married" I said firmly.

"His husband?? I know it. But do you love him?" Tanya Farhan Lirih's.

"Yes, I love her so much. So did she, who loved me so much" I turned my gaze towards Luna.

"Not that you married because you're in a match. How can you love each other? Is this a drama?"

I looked back at Farhan "Drama? Do you think I am a good person at acting? You need to know, love can grow at any time, it just takes time."

"Then how do you feel about me?" Farhan tried to grab my hand that I put on the table. But I quickly pulled my hand.

"So you still don't know how I feel about you? Everything is gone, gone, not even for you. Because you have left enough wounds that can no longer be healed. So why do you ask me again how I feel about you. Never mind, let me be happy with my life. And you are happy with your life. Never come into my life again. Because it will make the old wounds reopen" Saying like that, I don't feel my tears dripping without me noticing.

After all, he was a man I loved very much.

Farhan fell silent, his lips twisting a forced smile at me. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry I hurt you. I didn't know that in the end it would all hurt you so much. Forgive me for all my treatment of you first." Farhan lowered his face. His words sound so sincere. I felt that I was dealing with someone else, not Farhan whom I had known in his harsh voice, not Farhan with his arrogant attitude. But the Farhan I see now is a far different Farhan.

"You're aware of all your words?" My question is convincing.

"Yes I am aware. Just so you know after our relationship ended. I try to connect with a lot of women. I'm looking for a woman like you. Who will refuse when I ask her to sleep. But no one refused. All are willing, even without the bond of marriage"

"It turns out that you haven't changed" My sympathies that had appeared now drowned after hearing his confession.

"You're wrong, I did offer her to sleep, but after the women said they were willing. I left him without saying anymore. I'm increasingly aware that you're my only precious woman. I'm sorry I wasted you ." At the end of his words he heard a very soft apology because Farhan immediately lowered his face but was still heard by me.

"So this is the reason why you still wear our engagement ring?"

"Yes"

I hesitantly reached for his hand that wanted to grab my hand. I slowly held that hand.

"Are you sorry?" Me softly. Farhan

Slowly he raised his face towards me. I was shocked when I saw her two reddened and teary eyes. 'What is Farhan, my heart.

"I deeply regret all my actions. I'm here waiting for you because I want to tell you everything" he said.

"You mean?" manya curious.

"I'm actually here because I have a meeting with a client. I accidentally saw you. But at the beginning of our meeting, I made a mistake, I scared you. I want to see you again to apologize. So I decided to stay. I don't want to go home before I see you. Maybe God heard my request" he explained.

"I'm sorry I was so bad at you" I said.

I let go of the grip of my hand that was still in reply with a tight grip by him. "Sorry" I said as I pulled my hand. For a moment the atmosphere turned silent. Before Farhan started saying again.

"May I ask you something?" Ask Farhan.

"I'm sorry, but whatever I have the right to refuse" I replied.

"My request is not difficult. It only takes a minute." Her speech.

My forehead frowned curiously "What is that?"

"I want to hold you one last time, one minute" said Farhan, my eyes round again glaring at him.

"I'm sorry I turned it down. I realize who I am now. I'm a wife, and I shouldn't have granted your request" I replied firmly.

"This is the nature of you that I regret. You keep your honor" said Farhan again.

"Because girls of the night don't all behave badly" I said. The mood was silent again.

Luna ran towards me, her lips started turning blue and slightly shivering from the cold. I took the towel I had prepared to cover her tiny body.

"Walked it?" Much

"Not yet, still want to swim again. Little sister don't fuss, wait for sister here yes" After drinking her orange juice, Luna rubbed my stomach and kissed her. Then he ran back to the swimming pool.

"Who is that little boy? Is he your stepson? So what does it mean to say little adek? Are you pregnant? " Tanya Farhan was still watching Luna. I chuckled at her question.

"Kids? You think my papa will marry me to a one-child widower?"

"Then?"

"Luna is a child. My husband and I love him very much, like my son. And about being pregnant, yes I was pregnant with our first child" I answered with a happy smile. But not with Farhan, his face showed a look that was hard to guess.

"Congratulations, soon you'll be a parent" he said.

"Thank you. Are you not doing any other work?" Much

"job? I told you I'm here because I'm waiting for you. So there's no work. What about your husband, is he nice to you?"

"Very good" I answered briefly.

"Darling, why are you quiet. No appetite?" Ask Arka who turned out she noticed me who had just stirred the food on my plate.

"Eh, this is not, I'm a little tired like that" I said and of course it was a lie. I was just thinking about how I should tell you about my meeting with Farhan. Because I don't want to until Arka hears from someone else. There was also Luna with me. A child who is still innocent like that will definitely tell the truth with what he saw. Fortunately, at this time Luna was hard to fall asleep after playing all day. So I still have a chance to say it straight away.

"You're daydreaming from here, is there a problem?" Ask Arka again.

"We eat first, there's something I want to say" I said expressionlessly.

"alright... Finish your food. Because mine is up" Arka shows a plate that only displays a few remaining chicken bones. As long as I'm daydreaming? my inner.

"I ate first" I said.

Arka walked towards the balcony and closed the sliding door connecting the room with the balcony.it seemed like she was enjoying the night breeze.

I finished the food I had left on my plate. My appetite was gone when I thought of how to talk to Arka later.

I caught up with Arka who was still on the balcony. Both of his hands held the iron guardrail of the balcony, his eyes glaring far away.

Slowly my hand slipped to her waist. Hugged him from behind and leaned my head behind his back. Arka's hand moved to hold my hand in front of her stomach. I slowly rubbed my hand.

"I'm sorry" I said, opening the conversation. Arka let go of my hand, then she turned her body towards me.

I can only look down in front of him. Arka's hand stroked my hair freely in the wind and slipped behind my ear. His fingers raised my chin so that his eyes could look me in the eye directly.

"Sorry ? sorry for what?" Ask Arka.

"I. I.I.tadi I met Farhan" I replied. Arka scrunched her forehead. Still waiting for me to continue my words.

"I accidentally met him. But you don't worry he didn't hurt me. I'm fine" I said again. Arka was still looking at me with a difficult look.

"He just apologized to me. Because all this time he always hurt me." I said again.

"Do you still love her?" Ask Arka.

I shook my head "Not the slightest bit" Arka instantly pulled my body into her arms and kissed my forehead long enough. I closed my eyes feeling the warmth of Arka's embrace.
