Picking Up the Past

Demanding Evidence At Its Time

“your work much huh?” ask Mila quietly to her husband.

“lumayan Mil, I live 3 weeks so piled up a lot, Rita must also be very busy handling all my work,” replied Arya without noticing Mila whose face Mila a little annoyed at hearing the name of the woman.

“what were you doing in Sulawesi 3 weeks Arya?, what were you doing there?” asked Mila again still with staring in her husband's face.

“the walk throws away my pain and my love for you” answered Arya innocently, which made Mila's heart beat fast for a while, and he felt like there was a sharp knife piercing right in the mouth of his heart hearing Arya's honest answer.

Mila took a deep breath to calm her feelings that seemed to be shaken by Arya's honest answer.

“what is no more of that affection for me?, do you stay here just because of that secret?, just to protect yourself from me, not for any other reason?” mila asked in a flat tone trying to hold tightness in her chest hearing Arya's clear honest-sounding words in her ears.

Arya then moved from the dresser chair to the table next to Mila sitting, she then pulled her chin to look at her eyes

“as you said when we were a hill, I would stay by your side until you loved me, and so with me, I would stay by your side until I loved you, she said, at that time you said time would prove it, so let's see together later, what evidence will be shown by the time for us” said Arya full of seriousness to Mila.

Mila then turns her face away from Arya, she does not want to show her sadness to Arya, she still remembers her sentence when hugged, asking Arya to stay by her side until she can love Arya, she said, ‘maybe I was too selfish with him so that he could accept all my mistakes duly, I should be able to accept all this, this is just the beginning of our relationship over everything that has happened’

“Mil, I'm just like you, you need time to be able to love me and I also take a long time to treat that pain, until I can truly make peace with all that you have done to me, and as I said, we step together following our hearts, let later our hearts determine the choice on their own will without the need for us to force,” explained Arya again with a tone that clearly illustrates her sincerity.

“I have also long chosen you with my heart, since our anniversary I have chosen you with my heart, since then I promise there will be nothing but you, likewise to this day, there is nothing but you Mil, as long as this sacred bond of ours binds us, there will never be anything other than you," arya said with a little pause in her sentence.

"and now I beg you, don't hurt my feelings again like before Mil, it hurts Mil, it hurts so much, I sometimes think that I'm crazy can still accept you again like this, like this, my sorry door will always be wide open for you Mil, but not with the door of my heart, if the door of the heart is closed, then maybe we won't be together again like this, Mil, Mil, I want you to stay like this to me, holding my hand like I'm holding your hand like this.” said Arya who increasingly tightened her grip on Mila and raised her hand that tightly grasped Mila's hand in front of them both, Mila also reciprocated Arya's tight grip tightly too, too, the other hand he uses to embrace Arya and embrace Arya's body from the side and rest his head on Arya's shoulder. Arya's words reopen her old sin that made her feel really dirty in front of her husband, and she wanted to let go of that feeling through a warm touch of embrace to Arya.

Arya smiled at Mila's treatment of her, then momentarily kissed Mila's crown on her shoulder which Mila could feel how sincere the kiss was, which felt until it felt into Mila's heart. Arya then took off her hand at Mila, she then pulled Mila's body to fully embrace her and then they hugged each other tightly, as if not wanting to let go of each other.

“ Miles, in Sulawesi I met grandparents who were still living romantically in their old age, grandmother told me, her love for grandfather once faded due to various problems in their marriage, she said, but he chose to stay with all the opposition between them, until the love grew again and they can feel happiness together until the old days” said Arya who he stopped for a moment.

“maybe I am currently in that phase Mil, over all our marriage problems all this time, now that my love is at that fade point, I chose the same path as grandma back then, choose to stay with this fading pain and feeling, until someday that love will grow again and grow bigger and bigger as before, and we will enjoy the happiness of our marriage until old like them. build our heavenly palace that we will inhabit together in our eternity Mil, stay by my side Mil, forget the man, forget the man, and love me one, we will both build the palace of our love this” said Arya, and after that she kissed in the forehead Mila with all her sincere feelings of heart, a kiss that seemed to spread to every corner of Mila's body and provide warmth for his wife's heart.

"i'll stay by your side no matter what happens to Arya, I'll stay by your hand no matter what happens" muttered Mila in Arya's arms.

Arya smiled at Mila's words, she gently rubbed Mila's shoulder, 'Awhile Mil, not until another month the results of the competition from the Bian corp will come out and be the end of all your family's company, the company, your words today will demand proof of that day, Arya,

‘ya Lord, I know I was wrong, but I realize now that He is the best for me, he is the best man I know in my life, I love him, I love him, please, don't let him get out of my life, I beg the Lord'. Inner Mila.
