After the departure of the Mama and Oma Alvi fell silent. He stood staring at the street from the balcony of his apartment room. The rain is falling tonight, not so heavy but quite able to represent the heart of Alvi who was injured. His mother's explanation of the reason for Niken's departure was still jolted in his head.
Flashback
"Niken didn't leave because he wanted to be with William, Vi. Their relationship is limited to doctors and patients. William was the doctor who treated Niken, and because of the proximity of the doctor and the patient they eventually became friends. So there's nothing between them. After all, William also has a family," explained Ratih.
"Lantas Niken left because....?"
"He's afraid Vi, he's afraid he won't be able to make you happy. He is afraid that he will be your burden. That's why he wants to set you free. But, you are reluctant to let go, finally he arrived at the decision. He left, left you with all the misunderstandings in your head,"
"Niken is not a burden to Alvi, ma. Why does he think that...,"
"What can a wife do when she cannot make her husband happy Vi...?"
"What is the definition of happiness for a husband who is in the head of Niken, ma...,"
"Child !
Deg, Alvi seemed to be unable to say anything more. He felt as if his world was shattered upon hearing his mother's statement.
"Niken is afraid of not being able to give you offspring. Because the sufferer of the disease is difficult the possibility of being able to get pregnant." explained the mother.
Alvi let out a huffed breath. She kept telling her mother that Niken was afraid she could not give her a child. So, his mother wanted Alvi to release Niken if Alvi could not accept Niken's condition. Finally, he decided to call someone across the street.
"Hello Nak..," said someone across the street who was Dana, the father.
"Where's Niken's address in America?" ask Alvi. Someone across the street gave the answer. After thanking the father, he ended his call. He immediately made a call to someone else. "Prepare a plane ticket to go to America, now.
...🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼...
After traveling for 18 more hours finally Alvi arrived in the country where Niken is located. He took a taxi and went to the address given by the father. After a trip from John F International Airport. Kennedy, he finally arrived at the apartment 740 Park Avenue, New York. When he arrived at one of the apartments described by his father on the phone yesterday he rang the bell. A few minutes the bell rang and finally came someone who Alvi had longed for the past three years.
The girl stared in disbelief at the man standing right in front of her. The man was still the same as when he left him. It was just that fine hairs were growing around the man's chin. The man's facial lines look firm now. She is Alvi, a man who still holds the status of her husband.
"Are you going to keep letting me stand here without letting me in?" alvi broke the silence between the two. When for the first time in three years they look back.
"Eh..iya please come in..," said Niken. Alvi enters Niken's apartment. However, he still stood pensive even after Niken closed the door of the apartment. Alvi looked at Niken from head to toe. Alvi gulped his saliva. And realizing the meaning of Alvi's gaze, he turned his eyes and immediately went towards his room. "Please sit down, I change clothes first..," said Niken who then disappeared behind the door of his room.
Silence was created between the two. Until finally Niken asked about the reason for Alvi's arrival far to America.
"Why did you come here?" ask Niken.
"Can't..?" alvi replied coldly and flatly.
"Eh, of course it doesn't matter. I mean, what business did you have coming all the way here?" ask Niken again.
"Can't I come here to see my wife...?" said Alvi while giving emphasis when he said the word "my wife".
"Eh...," Niken became misbehaved. He doesn't know what he has to say. Alvi's words are the truth. She's still Alvi's legitimate wife isn't she? They married without love, but they were not divorced. So, they are still tied to a husband and wife relationship, right? Although they were not together for three years, but Alvi still gave him a living, although indeed Niken never used the money that Alvi transferred every month to his account. He used his own money to meet his needs, including his medical expenses.
Alvi let out a breath before finally speaking.
"Huft.I'm here to pick up my wife who ran away for three years." Alvi said later.
"I didn't run away. Didn't I have your permission three years ago when I decided to go to this country..?" said Niken gave a defense to himself.
"Yes, permission without giving any explanation. It's the same as running away" said Alvi coldly.
Niken lowered her head. He had never seen Alvi like this. Alvi is indeed annoying from the past, he was even too arrogant when Niken first knew him. But, Niken had never seen Alvi as she was now. The man looked very angry. And Niken realized, all this because of his mistake!
"Alvi me...,"
"You're selfish Ken," cut Alvi so that Niken can't continue his words. "It is not you who determines whether I can be happy or not. I feel it and I know better what makes me happy...,"
"Vi.., uh...,"
"You left without discussing it first with me. You hid everything from me, how many secrets have you kept alone? How much have you made your own decisions" said Alvi still with anger. It was as if he could no longer control himself.
"Alvi.aku." Niken could only cry at Alvi's anger. This was the first time, he saw the man filled with anger, but more than anger stored the pain in the man's eyes every time Niken looked at Alvi's eyeballs. Niken also knew, that maybe the mother, oma or his father had told all the truth to Alvi.
"Ken, do you love me?" ask Alvi. "Don't tell me you did it all because you love me, because if you really love me you can't." Niken sprang into Alvi's arms. Alvi who was not ready to receive a hug Niken was stranded almost to the back because he was sitting on the sofa. Niken hugged Alvi tightly on Alvi's lap. He hid his cry between the necks of the man.
"I know I was wrong. I know I'm selfish. I just want you to be happy. I'm Alvi's handicapped woman, I won't be able to make you happy. You should have let me go. You shouldn't have come here." said Niken amid his tears. Alvi could only pat the back of the girl who was in her lap, so that the girl would ease her cries. But Niken was crying even harder.
"No one is perfect, neither are you nor am I. But, we can make ourselves perfect by doing everything together so that we can complement each other's shortcomings. I don't care if we can't have children, we can adopt children. I don't mind Niken, really. As long as you stay by my side. I love you, therefore I need you." honestly Alvi who makes Niken even more intrigued by Alvi's confession.
Finally after three years, after giving each other time for themselves, they finally realized that they both had the same taste. Losing sometimes leads us to the truth, the truth of the feelings we actually harbor for someone.
