Vania did not cry because of the commotion her father caused, nor emotional tears. It was due to the physical pain she was experiencing. But Zeyn does not realize that and now Vania does not intend to tell him, Vania just dissolves in the warm embrace of her husband.
A different and new feeling in Vania, there was a sense of fun coming from inside her heart, Zeyn's words that made her heart touched. Funneling the feeling that Zeyn cares about her so much and stays by Vania's side makes her want to believe and convince herself to trust Zeyn once again.
After a long silence, Vania finally wrapped her hands around Zeyn's waist and the next second Zeyn felt her clothes wet. Zeyn tightened his embrace, placed his cheek on Vania's head gently and rubbed her vibrating back. Make Vania freely vent the contents of the heart that has been in the dam.
Slowly Vania stretched her arms to give her some distance, but Zeyn tek's eyes slipped off at the wound still wrapped in bandages in her hand and the bruising marks on her wife's arms began to fade.
When viewed from the scar on his arm, it must have been a while and Zeyn only realized that.
Zeyn cupped his wife's face to notice every inch of that pale, pithy face, wanting to ask but Zeyn paused when her net noticed another cut on her cheek, right at the corner of her eye.
The deep gaze Zeyn gave, his heart crumbling, a large lump clinging to his neck. 'Am I the one who did it? back then, when I accidentally slapped him to the ground?'
Guilt and remorse now roiled Zeyn's brain. The point where he just realized that he was not much different from his father-in-law. Zeyn's thoughts that feel they have protected his wife, in fact, quite the opposite. Doing the same with Vania.
The fact that Vania hid her pain, disguising her wound under the makeup made Zeyn even worse. 'Why? why doesn't he want me to realize it? why would he rather suffer alone? why has he never demanded an apology from me? Why?'
Tears began to blur Zeyn's bead, she slowly peeked at Vania's forehead and hugged her once more.
Zeyn wept, regretting all his abusive actions towards his wife.
"Sleep with me tonight" said Zeyn.
Vania gasped and pushed Zeyn's arm softly which made Zeyn surprised.
Zeyn was very confident that Vania would utter rejection, so before that happened Zeyn quickly interrupted her speech. For such a time, Zeyn only needed Vania to remain beside him, so that thoughts if he could no longer see his wife's face if she released Vania from her arms.
"Please, sleep with me, I promise not to do anything you don't want. I promise, hmm?"
***
For the first time, Vania was in her husband's bed, a sense of nervousness may be felt Vania but a sense of security is also felt at the same time.
Zeyn gently laid her body beside Vania, her eyes instantly widening to calm her heart rhythm. Maybe because the first time so natural if you feel nervous.
Vania wakes up wanting to grab the blanket, but her movements are intercepted by Zeyn holding her hand. "What's wrong?" ask Zeyn gently.
"I'm-I'm thirsty."
"Wait here, I'll take it for you" said Zeyn, pressing his wife's back to stay in the room.
***
"Are you sure you're okay?" asked Zeyn quietly in a hoarse voice, because Zeyn was still in a condition that was not fit.
Vania nodded slowly in part in response. After she had let out all her cries, Vania could not put together a word for her to say plus her unstable sigh. Adding to its load.
Vania even spent the whole year with Zeyn crying, each time feeling tight. Zeyn must have realized that because it was moving closer to Vania's side. Zeyn tucked her right hand under Vania's neck while the one pulled Vania closer to her, and kissed her hair once more.
Vania felt an urge to cry but she endured it. "Don't hold back" really nothing can escape his attention. "Now, you're in the only place you can cry, my arm. So don't hold it."
If Zeyn doesn't say anything maybe Vania will be fine. But his words spontaneously broke his heart. Tears began to pour out from his mouth calmly.
'why is he acting like a lover? why now? when she did a terrible thing and made me give up on loving her, doing the perfect job of getting back my feelings down. Why can't I resist the impression that this is what I wanted and needed all this time? why would I want his hand to hit me, when he made me suffer? why do I miss the comfort of those who hurt me?"
"I'm so sorry," said Zeyn and Vania turned to look at him, confirming the sincere intent from within her eyes. But Zeyn didn't trick him this time. "I know, I've hurt you and can't be the one to protect you."
Vania's stomach was cramping at the face of her husband, Vania also wanted to give him some comfort. Just like Zeyn did, Vania also placed her hand on Zeyn's face and caressed him with her thumb, but Vania quickly pulled her hand out of embarrassment with Zeyn's gaze.
"Zeyn," call Vania
"Hm ...."
"About Yudha ..," murmured Vania who was curled up in the curves of her husband's neck.
"I knew. Don't worry, I've already spoken to him." Zeyn stroked Vania's hair. "And ...," Zeyn looked doubtful. "I ... the woman ...."
"What's in that photo?" ask Vania.
"Hm ... Yes ... She's Divya, nothing happened between us. Sorry for making him do that to me, because I'm a fool. I swear nothing happened. He came to represent his ailing father so we met. Only once, you can ask your father directly if his family is one of the biggest shareholders in the company. I don't even know if he comes back, it might be the last time because he'll be gone again. I won't see her again, I swear."
Vania is aware that she is not jealous or angry, but Divya does it because she is brave and she herself is not.
"Ah .. instead of me allowing her to do that," and Zeyn went back to reading Vania's mind. "I didn't want it either, I was shocked and couldn't react more, nothing else happened after," Zeyn fell silent. "To-please .. believe me," murmured Zeyn and Vania feeling something wet at her temple.
Vania looked up at Zeyn who closed her eyes. Just a drop of tears but able to make Vania tight. Vania's outstretched hand wiped Zeyn's tear.
"I'm not angry" Vania replied with a smile. "I believe you."
Zeyn opened his eyes, blinked a few times and looked at Vania with a mysterious expression. Vania was sure it was only a split second but her gaze made Vania blush.
"For the last time ... I don't know what's going to happen in the future. But please don't cry anymore" Zeyn said.
Vania was confused by the last phrase in her sentence but at that very moment Zeyn noticed his wife's rancid lips before kissing her very sweetly. This was the first time for Vania, making her heart rumble. Vania also craves sweet treatment like this.
Vania also returned the kiss and made Zeyn let go of his taut, for a moment looked at his wife's bead and then again tasted it repeatedly.
The hot and vibrant atmosphere fused to make Vania want to cry with tears of happiness.
Both slow down the tempo of the kiss, with a slow motion releasing a touch on the surface of each lip.
"I hope this time I give you a proper first kiss," Zeyn smiled slightly and Vania replied with a shy smile. Before he buried his face in Zeyn's neck.
Vania placed her hands on her chest, while Zeyn who was hugging her in silence to fully enjoy the precious moment. Vania felt every cell she had inside her burst into excitement. Vania curled deeper in Zeyn's warm body. Smelling the masculine scent on her husband's neck was so soothing.

Zeyn opened his eyes and the night was still pitch black. Only the lights above the grill are dimmed to illuminate the entire room. Zeyn glanced at Vania as she felt pain in her arm but had a smile on her face. Being able to cling to a helpless fragile woman made her very happy. Zeyn considers himself a hero, protecting his wife from danger and making Vania sleep soundly by his side. Zeyn admits he's never experienced anything like it before.
A smile re-emerged on Zeyn's face when he found the wife's face pouting. How foolish Zeyn was not to realize the beauty of Vania.
Her hands gently caressed her soft skin, forehead, eyes, nose. Zeyn swallowed his salivary turning to look at the bruises on his wife's arm. Zeyn never found the corner of Vania's lips interested in forming a smile so that he could not imagine the smile.
Zeyn's bastard who does not appreciate Vania, on the contrary more often make him hurt, give pain, make damage in the heart of Vania even Zeyn has eliminated his smile. The worst picture of every man who loves his heart.
With a slow movement Zeyn kissed Vania's lips and for a moment closed his eyes enjoying the beauty of a sincerity.
'There will come a time when I will tell her everything, what she means to me, how precious she is, how she changes me, she is my life, my breath, my world, my love, my love, everything to me and I can't live without it. I'll confess if I love her and make her return my love. I'll tell her my life story.'
"I LOVE YOU."
Zeyn ended with a kiss on the forehead of a Vania Valeanifa.
