Scratches of Past Wounds

Other rooms

Doni waits for Light in the yard while leaning in the car . Accidentally Doni did not enter the house because he could not wait to bring the Light immediately . With a black shirt that Light prepared this morning without a suit and tie . And his arm had been rolled up to the elbow. What a soul-stirring appearance to women.

Not long after that Light came out with a dark purple robe and a lilac-colored syar'i hijab, matching the veil. Doni's eyes followed every graceful step of the woman until then. With such an appearance Light does not look thin due to the large clothes that are covered.

Doni's heart was again pinched when his eyes found Light's bright brown bead. The dark, gloomy-looking circle surrounded his clear netra. Doni knows why. Light just pura sleep when he came home at midnight. Afraid Doni knew his suffering. Fear Doni is troubled by his flaws.

There was a sense of pain that Doni felt deep down in his heart. Remembering Doni always carries the pungent aroma of alcohol on his body almost every night. Too bad in his room there is no CCTV, if there is certainly Doni can witness the suffering of his wife in the past month.

" Come, Bang later tonight . " Doni flinched from his daydream. The light was on the passenger side. Without opening, the light had first entered the car. Doni followed the Light at the wheel.

" Sister is okay to accompany Aya shopping. Actually Aya can be alone, if you are busy. " Say Light after Doni sits behind the wheel.

Doni did not reply just staring towards the Light who was also staring at him . Doni fingered the back of the Light head and untied the veil belonging to the Light. Until the tapered face that only uses makeshift powder is clearly visible. Light-owned volume lip only polished light orange colored lip balm.

Simple ! One word for Light. At first glance Doni noticed the contrasting difference between Light and Tiara. Although the Tiara also wears the hijab but it is still in the fashionable category. Beautiful face Tiara who always dress up full make up although not excessive. Equally fair skinned, the difference is the skin of the milky white Tiara while the light yellow langsat.

" Bang... Why did it come off ? " Back Doni is drawn to the real world by the sound of Light.

" Don't wear it if it's just us. The windshield is also invisible from the outside. " Answer Doni.

" Okay, but aren't you busy? " Ask Light ensure.

" Right ! Brother also arrived to accompany you shopping. " Say Doni with a smile that leaves the Light stunned.

" Why all of a sudden ? Is this an activity that you like from the past and you miss him arrived ? Or is your brother missing Mbak Tiara? " The Speech of Light made Doni snarl to start his car engine.

Doni stared at the sticky light. There was a bitter sense of every word the Light spoke and Doni understood very well the direction of that speech. But Doni could also see the trembling gaze within those clear eyeballs. The orange is nervous and may begin to fear.

" I'm sorry.I'm sorry Aya didn't mean... " Fix Tinggalanya's scared now. The voice that sounded firm though soft, now sounded soft and vibrating.

Doni is cursing himself. The debate at the hotel after the reception is still so imprinted in Light's memory. Light that does not want to be made an object to remember the past. That was the point of the Light's speech at that time. And Doni considers trivial what the Light feels. Now Doni can see the same thing, Light does not want to be made an object by Doni to remember Tiara.

" It's okay, you can be mad at me . Brother deserves your anger, Orange. But this time it's pure because you want to be with me. " Doni spoke softly. Just like the time after the reception. It is so sweet and shines the Light on new hope.

But the Light regained its consciousness not to be lulled. This fearful light was only an instant, the same as that time. " Don't baper, Aya. Remember ! Doni is only for Tiara, you have no place. " The light speaks to itself in the heart.

" If it is okay, it is okay. Let's go it's been a very late afternoon. " The very sweet smiling light covered the contents of her troubled heart.

Doni grabbed the hand of Light that clasped each other in his lap. " Tiara never shop for home necessities. All the handle usually. Tiara did not bother to do housework. And incidentally Ibuk was still strong at that time . Tiara also rarely cooks and takes care of the house. He's just focused on me and himself, and Rafa's our son. " Doni was still staring at the Light and enjoying the change in the face of the frightened Light now felt guilty.

" Sorry, Bang. Ayaa...

The light was still stiffening with what Doni just did. now the gaze of Light was straight ahead without saying anything else. Mind Light is full by Doni. Sudden change of attitude. Take both away and sweet attitude that makes any woman melt because of her.

Without them knowing from inside the house Ibu Ratih monitor the car Doni that does not move in a long time . When Cahaya said Doni invited shopping, Ibu Ratih was very happy. The old woman hoped that the relationship of her son and daughter-in-law improved.

While in the car is still controlled quiet. The light is still trying to neutralize his heartbeat. Doni was busy driving the vehicle. In the middle of the silence, Light recalled something he wanted to be next to Doni. The man beside her is in a good mood.

" Bang, can Aya ask for something ? " Tanya Light ventured.

" Of course you can, what will you buy. " Don was delighted when he asked for something for the first time.

" Mhh. Can you sleep in the upper room for a while. I mean Aya, can Aya sleep by herself. It won't be long just a while. " What a nervous Light. What else Doni arrived to pull over and stop his car.

Doni stared at the Light to ascertain what he had just heard. But Doni was sure he had not misunderstood the words of the Light just now. The light wants to be alone. Of course Doni understands why the Light asks like that. But Doni's gonna pretend not to know for a while.

" Why ? You don't like your roommate with you ? " Tanya Doni.

" It's not so, just assume Aya is sick and needs to heal himself. Trust me Aya, this is only for a moment. Maybe he's up to three months. " The light crumpled his ten fingers because he was nervous.

" You sick ? "

" No .. not what you think. I just need to be alone . Aya could not get out of the room because she was afraid that Ibuk and the children knew. But if you have another room, then no one suspects you later. " The light tries to explain by covering some of it.

" The other room ? " Doni suspects Light knows about Tiara's room.

" Yes.the room above . Former Maak Tiara."

" Deg"

Doni was flabbergasted, The king knew the room that Doni was trying to keep secret. " Who told you about that room. What Ibuk ? " Task Doni to make sure.

" No ! Ibuk never revealed anything even though Aya had lured him, Aya heard himself when Abang argued on the phone about Mbak Tiara's room with someone. And sorry... Aya curious... Aya has already entered to convince herself if there is still Mbak Tiara at home and in your heart. " The light looked down to hide her puddles of tears.

There was a suffocating and stifling pain in his chest. I don't know why every remembering that Light feels pain. Is that love present... ?

And Doni felt a different way, a sense of regret and guilt at the fragile figure who was bowed down." Again Aryo's words are true. "
