Arriving at his residence, Leo explains the details of the house that now belongs to Shena. The mother-of-three surveyed the surroundings and admired some of the interior design of her own home. Although she doesn't remember anything, Shena really likes this place. He ceaselessly stared at every space he explored with Leo.
Seeing Shena reacting to nothing, Leo was a little disappointed. This is the home of Shena's childhood memories but his wife behaves as if this is a new place for him. Shena really does not remember anything in this house including the good memories of both.
As soon as they entered their master room, Shena grew even more astonished. The room is very spacious and also beautiful with a typical style of European building that was deliberately renovated by Leo like a room in his own ministry. Again, Shena did not show any reaction either. In fact, Shena and Leo are getting closer because of the many incidents that occur in the room.
“Very good?” shena said happy and disperse Leo's daydream.
“You like?” ask Leo. He just stood behind Shena.
“Ehm, really like.” Shena's eyes couldn't stop admiring her own room.
“Please rest for a while, I will prepare hot water so that we can use it to take a shower.”
“Kita?” peekik Shena was shocked.
“Iya, we. Is it just you and me in this room? Why?” ask Leo.
“You mean ... we ... both ... shower together?” shena asked nervously.
“Since marriage, almost every day we shower together, dear. But if you mind, I'll wait for you to take a shower first.” Leo smiled meaningfully then left Shena stunned in shock.
Huh huh? Shower together every day? Crazy one? Is that true? Shena screams in the heart.
Shena's heart immediately shook and she felt ashamed to imagine herself and her husband in the same bathroom. I can tell you what happened when both were in the room.
****
At night, Shena was even more agitated. Just imagine, being in one room with a man, really makes Shena so awkward even though he and this man are married. A flash of shadow of himself and the man he does not remember is in one bed and doing a husband and wife couple scene in general makes Shena's breath so up and down.
Did I have to do a bed scene with that guy tonight? What if she asks for her right as a husband? What am I supposed to do? It's impossible to refuse, right? We're married because, inner Shena a little upset, anxious and worried.
Shena continued to pander in front of the window while Leo was observing her files. Every now and then he calls and receives a few calls from no one. It seems to be about his job.
“Iya, hello .. ehm .. so far good ... no problem ... no. not now .. I will call you next time. Good night,” Leo said as he glanced at Shena who was standing still in the corner. He turned off his phone so that no one would bother him anymore.
“Eee .. You just sleep first, I'm still not sleepy.” Shena was getting agitated about misinterpreting Leo's words just now. Her body is cold hot.
Leo walked slowly closer towards Shena and Shena who saw it immediately retreated backwards. Leo continued to get closer and Shena got further away, until she was finally unable to retreat again because her body had hit the wall of the room.
“Ma-want what are you?” shena asked, getting nervous. The gaze of Leo's eagle never escaped him.
“Why is your body shaking so dear, what do you think of me?” Leo put on his face as brightly as possible and exhaled many times. “I really want to be like before. But ... With your current condition, there's no way I'll force my strength as a husband as long as you don't want to. Trust your husband, honey. I won't touch you as long as there's no green light from you. Come to sleep, it's not good for your health if you keep worrying about something that won't happen.” Leo and Shena looked at each other for quite a long time with a feeling of heartache in each of them.
Again, Shena felt guilty. Maybe at this time, Leo is tormented because he has to be patient with him who does not remember anything about Leo. Only a shadow of a woman and a man hugging on a stretch of tea plantation only he saw, but Shena did not know for sure who the man and woman were. And Leo .. his sad face, it makes Shena so tormented too.
“Where is his photo album book?” shena asked suddenly.
“There's in the bag. Why are you suddenly looking for a photo album, honey? What happened?” leo asked puzzledly and observed Shena who started picking up her album book.
Shena flipped through the pages of the photo album seriously. “There!” shena muttered. “Not wrong, as big as the shadow I saw, like myself and and you,” Shena told Leo.
“What do you mean?” leo asked, increasingly curious about Shena's words.
“When I almost fell on the tea plantation earlier, accidentally as big as a shadow like this crossed my mind. It's just that, my head hurts, so I just touched.” Shena shows a photo of herself and Leo hugging in the middle of the tea fields.
Leo stared intently at the photo that Shena had proffered with a sad expression. It made Shena's heart become more tenacious to see the look of Leo's face.
“That's the photo that Refald took when I went to calm down with jealousy. I was weak then and doubted your love. But ... You came and convinced me that your love was for me only. There is no other man in the world who can take my place in your heart. Because ... you .. you love me more than anything.” Leo's eyes began to glaze over the good times.
Leo could not see the Shena he could not even embrace at will like before. The woman he loved was in sight but could not reach him. Leo's heart ached and he turned to the window to hide his tears from Shena. Really Leo really wanted to hug Shena tightly, unfortunately he could not do it now even though Shena was nearby.
It's not Shena's fault that his most beloved wife remembers nothing about him and his past. The brain damage that Shena experienced would not be this severe if Leo did not continue to make Shena depressed. Being part of a large Pyordova family has brought its own pressure to tough women like Shena, coupled with her ignorant nature and the hassle of taking care of their children. Anyone, it's gonna be stressful.
At first, Leo thought his home life would be fine and would stay happy forever, but he had no idea it would be such a painful time. Forgotten a loved one, so stifling. Even though the person was close, but felt far away.
SERIATE
