Prison Wound
The fifty six part
Raditya. He only realized his actions were very careless and too rushed. He cursed his foolish actions inwardly. It is always difficult to hold back when faced with worldly pleasures. Although it was not as common as before, but dealing with Riena in certain conditions clearly provoked his long-standing passion not channeled properly.
"I'm sorry, Bee," Raditya asked regretfully.
"It's okay. I should be the one apologizing, Ay. I will try to reduce my trauma. No promise of recovery soon. But I'll make sure I try harder." Riena looked into Raditya's eyes with such a shady look.
"Don't be too hard on yourself, Bee. It all happened because of me. I should have tried harder to understand and accept everything. Ignore this desire of me who does not know myself. I'm sorry I betrayed you. But let me love you in my slightly selfish way. I know I'm not perfect. I know my past is far from good. Please don't leave me because of that."
Riena shook her head to hear the long words from Raditya. Even when the man was thirty-two years old, he put both of their hands together in his hands. They throw each other so deep. It implies what love is.
"I remember my mom's message before we got married. My mom always reminds me over and over again. Even every time we have the opportunity to relax. Marriage does not promise happiness, but it brings blessing. Marriage should lead the husband and wife to be a better person than before. Faithful not because of satisfaction, but because of the pursuit of God's Ridho."
Riena took a deep breath. Pause for a moment the words that have been very long, just make sure Raditya understands every word spoken.
"After marriage, the person most likely to hurt us is our own partner. Because someone who loves us properly, actually does not only promise a sense of comfort. Sometimes he rebukes our mistakes hard. Not because he was angry, but because he wanted to be a better person together. On the way, there are certainly many differences that are impossible to be forced to equalize. When one tries to understand, it could be that one is impatient and already hurt. One considers the right way, not necessarily the other."
"What mom said was true, Bee. Like I'm selfish to keep our marriage. Though I'm sure, the wound I inflicted was so deep. But whatever my day, I was selfish. I realized that and I chose not to care. I'll redeem all. It doesn't matter how long or how heavy. Let me keep you as your husband forever."
Riena re-attached her head to Raditya's field chest. Her hands tightly hugged her husband's hips. Nothing more to say. Choosing to make peace with the wound, in fact made his soul much calmer. If there is any trauma left, let time slowly blur it.
"Never stay away again. If you want to get angry, hit and curse me directly. I'd rather see your anger than just imagine it. My apology is enough. Too much I say is useless. Let my attitude alone prove it" whispered Raditya as he kissed his wife's head.
Riena tightened her embrace. This time, he really felt an unusual comfort. Same with Raditya. His nausea and dizziness were completely reduced by almost 90 percent. Even now he feels hungry. Some food comes to mind and wants to be eaten immediately.
"Bee, is there anyone here who sells cork shoots no? I really want to eat that same. But eat in its place directly. Not to be taken home." Raditya swallowed his own saliva.
Riena immediately broke her embrace. The woman's forehead berparas ayu frowned perfectly because it felt strange with the desire of the husband. Let alone cork shoots, rawon alone usually Radit does not like. Any kind of food that contains kluwek, is definitely not a familiar menu for the man in front of him. Raditya is a fan of food with minimalist seasoning. You could say anti-spice.
"Where is it here, Ay. How do you start when do you get cork shoots? Why eat, anyway? Soup made a good mama, loh. You usually like it too." Riena turned around as she stepped closer to the sofa to sit her ass there.
Raditya snorted in annoyance. Like a little boy who was not bought a toy, he began to show symptoms of wanting to sulk. Raditya sat down beside Riena and shook his wife's arm as he said, "Bee, let's find. It's like I'm a laper and I really want to eat. From yesterday, I did not want to eat. Please."
"Well to buy," whined Raditya.
"Yes!"
Raditya was silent. Even though in the heart still do not accept. He chose resignation when Riena left him alone in the room. The picture of cork shoots as if getting real tempting in front of the eyes. To make him again have to swallow his own saliva.
Riena slowed down her footsteps when she heard Retno and Rosyani's voice in the dining room. The two middle-aged beauties seemed to be enjoying a plate of sweetness together. Happy hearts make their mouths good at chewing any food.
"Eh, Rien, you want to run?" ask Rosyani.
"No, Ma. Definitely sour." Riena answered while tilting her head to the left and right of the room. Look for a Rumini-assistant household figure who is usually always struggling in the kitchen.
"Who to find? Yu Rum again went out to Indomei. Send money to his son in the village. Mom helped me not to send. He said buy something." Rosyani gave an explanation before Reina asked.
"Mas Radit wants to eat cork shoots, Ma. Want to help Yu Rum make it."
"Huh? Cork shoot? When did Radit start with cork?" Retno's reaction was no less remarkable with Riena earlier.
"Say Radit, there's no cork shoots here. No one can cook either. That's a lot of cork sponges. Wantsome? If this Mau is a lot for sumpelan beha," said Rosyani casually while occasionally chewing young mango in his mouth.
"Mama!" annoyed Riena while stepping foot towards the main door.
"It seems like a good start, ma'am," whispered Retno.
"Hopefully," Rosyani said.
Meanwhile, in Riena's room, Raditya is no longer alone. Rinto who accidentally saw Riena coming down the stairs when she opened the door of her room earlier, immediately took the initiative to invite Raditya to talk about what they should have been talking about after breakfast.
"Dit, previously papa did not 100 percent expect you and Riena to return. Even if Riena finally chooses to accept you as you are, papa will not let go of Riena just like that. The negligence you made was fatal as a result. And you have to pay a lot."
