Should I forgive

Against the shadow of the past

"People....." Nadiya said while looking at Prasetyo with a look that looked as if he wanted to penetrate his heart.

"Yes. What's up?" Prasetyo answered while rowing his boat.

"Do you regret marrying me?" Nadiya asked wanting to know Prasetyo's opinion after his first night that just passed.

"It didn't cross my mind at all to regret our marriage. I have great respect for this bond. I love you so much too, so I may regret it. But...I don't know about you? What if I ask you the same question?" Ardy asked while looking at Nadiya and looking at her sharply.

Nadiya was very excited and did not expect that she would have to answer her own question?

"Ehmmmm....."

Prasetyo was still waiting for Nadiya to continue his speech expectantly.

"Ikuu also respects this bond. I wish I could be a good wife to you." Nadiya then shifted her eyes.

Prasetyo smiled and closed his boat on a small hill in the middle of the beach.

"Be as you are now, don't try to be someone else. I love you what she is. We will begin by understanding and loving each other as the foundation for this relationship to last. Don't we want this bond to age us together so we don't have to force ourselves to be perfect wives."

"Okay. Now we are at Fontana Hill. We will go down and continue our journey on foot to the top of the hill. Said people on the hill overgrown with a variety of beautiful wild flowers. You must be amazed to see that sight. Come on down."

Prasetyo held out his hand to Nadiya. Nadiya held tightly to Prasetyo's hand and jumped off the boat.

"Aah!!!" Nadiya said screaming while looking back at her torn clothes because of the twigs attached to the edge of the boat.

Prasetyo swiftly caught Nadiya and almost fell at the same time. But finally Prasetyo can maintain balance and not to fall into the water.

"Thank God we didn't fall into the water. Or we'll go upstairs in wet clothes."

"But my shirt is torn." Then Nadiya checked his clothes that were torn very high up to the top of the thigh.

"It's okay. You look very exotic." Prasetyo said so a punch landed on his shoulder.

Prasetyo instead held Nadiya very tightly and did not let go even though he was struggling strongly.

"Because you hit me so hard then in return I'll hug you." Said Prasetyo who immediately grabbed Nadiya with his two very strong hands.

Nadiya was silent and let Prasetyo embrace her, she was also trying to make room for her heart to more quickly realize the reality that she is now not an ex-Ardy, she said, but the wife of someone bound by the rights and obligations that must be fulfilled.

They hugged beside the boat enjoying the breeze. As far as the eye can see, only the natural beauty is so amazing and fascinating. Very beautiful with a bluish clear sky and combined with a clear bluish sea water color.

visuals of Nadiya and Prasetyo.

In an instant Prasetyo had moved his head right in front of Nadiya's face and without wasting a chance he immediately kissed her tiny lips.

They clenched for so long in the silence of the beach atmosphere. Only occasionally heard the pounding waves that squeak the silence.

Prasetyo really enjoyed Nadiya's lips especially when there was no rejection from Nadia as usual. Nadia seemed to be trying hard against her own heart. He tried his best to cast away the shadows of his past.

Prasetyo grabbed his phone from his pants pocket. It was from her mom. Who else would call her that often other than her mom.

"Akhg mami." Prasetyo Gumam.

"Hallo baby, how you doing are you having fun?" Ask mommy.

"Yes, mommy. We're on a boat. Will you call again, huh?"

"OKs. Have fun."

"Yes, mom." Prasetyo hung up the phone and approached Nadiya who was sitting.

"Yeah, we're up." Prasetyo said as he pulled Nadiya's hand and helped her stand up.

They then walked in tandem through the path where the right and left stood the Fir and Pine trees. Some pine fell and scattered among the yellowed leaves. This place was very quiet only seen a few people walking with them. Most of them play on the hillside while swimming on the beach.

Nadia occasionally holds and holds on to Prasetyo's arm when the sound of animals from the top of the tree is heard. Sometimes Nadiya also did not let go of his grip at all when the road they went through was so scary.

"Are you scared?"

Nadiya nodded and stopped for a moment.

"Wouldn't we just go back?" Ask Nadiya.

"It's a shame that we're back. We're almost there. Hold on tight if you're scared." Prasetyo said then looking for a brighter path and not too filled with large trees so that Nadiya was not afraid.

Finally, after an hour and a half, they arrived at a beautiful place. There are two small waterfalls below which there are many grayish-white rocks. The splash of the waterfall bounced off some wild-growing flowers between the rocks.

Nadiya then sat on the rocks with Prasetyo enjoying the splash of a waterfall that soaked some of his clothes.

"Come here, you'll get your clothes wet." Prasetyo said as he slightly moved away from the waterfall.

"alright. Help me jump." Nadiya.

"Split her hand." Prasetyo.

Then Nadiya reached out her hand and Prasetyo pulled her until her body fell into Prasetyo's embrace. Prasetyo is good at finding opportunities in every situation. So that in some moments he will use it to have physical contact with Nadiya.

Although they are officially as husband and wife, but a lot of awkwardness so Prasetyo should be more intense approaching him. Understandably they married without passing the phrase courtship so it takes more time to feel comfortable with each other.

Prasetyo is a handsome and experienced established man. So that he is easy to make Nadiya fall for him. The way to treat Nadiya certainly makes all women feel jealous if they see it. His skill was really felt by Nadiya that he was indeed not an innocent man. He knows when and where and what to do to make their relationship closer.

Prasetyo held Nadiya and laid her on a very wide rock. The stone was so wide as the size of a bed. So that the visitors can unwind by sleeping on it and feel the warmth of the sun that directly touches the skin.

Nadiya lay down and leaned her head on Prasetyo's thigh. Then Prasetyo fingertips gently caressed Nadiya's forehead and hair.
