Aerin helped her husband get into bed. Alan's condition has recovered but he needs regular rest so he can recover quickly.
"Slow down, Bby," he said.
"Thank you, baby," Alan replied as he leaned against the bed hoadboard.
Aerin got on the bed and listened to their blankets and approached her husband.
"here, Honey. Hugged me" Alan asked, waving his hand for his wife to get close to him.
"But your chest will hurt?"
"No, it's healed" said Alan pulling the woman into his arms.
"Yes, Bby." Aerin wrapped her hands around Alan's stomach.
The two hugged each other and permeated the warm embrace. Five years that can be passed without a meeting, of course, many misses who want to be delivered. Moreover, both of them already have a baby that grows starting to grow and develop.
"Darling," call Alan.
"Yes, Bby?" The woman raised her head and looked at the face of the husband.
"Thank you yes. I still can't believe we're back together now" Alan said with teary eyes. Now he finds the purpose and meaning of his life.
"I have to thank Hubby for saving me and the kids and even getting shot to protect us" Aerin said in a hoarse voice. Recalling Anne's cruelty made her soul feel shaken, let alone the woman's accusations against her.
"You know what, honey? I lived 15 years in the confinement of a dark world. I can't do anything, even to fight I can't" Alan said softly as he rubbed Aerin's long hair.
Aerin tightened her embrace in Alan's stomach. The smell of her husband's body has always been her favorite. It was comfortable to hug this man. Aerin does not want to lose this hug and comfortable body again. He wants to be with Alan forever. Until he finds the end of his age.
"After I met you. I felt like I was discovering a new life and a new world. Thank you, dear. I really love you." Alan returned the woman's embrace.
The two hugged each other in the silence of the night and shared the warmth after a long, tear-draining separation.
Alan is a man who lives in the clutches of his first wife and in-laws. During that time he could not fight and do anything because he was always threatened with terrible things. His encounter with Aerin changed all the lives Alan lived. Passing through a hot night with a foreign woman and even she has never been Anne's first night. The result of that night was growing seeds in the woman's womb, until she sought Aerin and married his wife.
Alan was happy, Aerin was like the light God sent to complete his life. It was like finding hope to live longer than usual.
"I promise you, after this nothing will ever separate us again, dear. I'll make sure you're with me." Alan peeped his wife's head.
Aerin nodded then buried his face in the chest of the man's field. A long lost hug from the warmth of Aerin's body. Comfortable, calm and feeling protected. May happiness be on his side this time. May God give him happiness this time, just once. Since childhood he had to live and face the cruelty of the world alone. Now he doesn't want to lose that.
The two fell asleep in the silence and warmth of the night with the dim lights that became silent witnesses that the two people who had been separated, now back together knitting love in dreams and despair.

"Yes, Son?" Christopher faked his smile. The wounded face was clearly visible.
"You okay?" Alta rubbed her father's shoulder as if she was channeling strength.
"Daddy, all right," Christoper said, staring blankly ahead.
Alta understood her father's hurt feelings. But he also understood that now everything was no longer the same. The mother will never be able to return with them in a future life.
"30 years apart. Daddy hopes to be with Mommy. But fate says something else." Christopher lowered his head to absorb all the pain that was now seeping into his chest cavity.
"I understand how you feel, Dad." Alta rubbed her father's arm. "Daddy don't have to worry, I'll always be there for you. There's a Baby A too. We will accompany your old days" Alta said.
"Thank you, Son." Christopher again could only smile covering the still wet wound inside.
The two returned in daydreams as if busy with their respective minds. The happy life they craved has now been scorched. The two women they used to look for her whereabouts have found a look after each one. Who can be blamed? This is how destiny works to destroy lives that are not desired by humans.
However, will not life continue to run with or the absence of loved ones around them? No need to be regretted and contemplated, there will be a phase of receiving all with chest roomy.
"After Alan recovered, we immediately returned to Indonesia" said Christopher.
"Yes, Dad," said Alta. "Yes, Daddy just take a break. It's midnight" said Alta.
"Yes, Son. You too," replied Christopher.
Christopher went into his room. Empty, empty. Forever he will live in loneliness and solitude all the time until despair comes to invite him away. Due to selfishness Keuda his parents. He became a victim. He was targeted. The happiness he craved would be his, now gone along with the pain embedded in it.
Christopher sat on the lip of the bed. The look in his eyes there is a photo of his memories with the ex-wife, actually they have not divorced. But after arriving in Indonesia, Christopher will take care of all his divorce papers and release Ratih to live happily with the man who has been looking after him for as long as he is not around.
"Ratih," he explained.
Christopher rubbed Ratih's face inside. If time could be reworked, he would never let his wife go. He will be more courageous to fight for their love story. However, in fact he has been defeated by the selfishness of his parents and his own stupidity.
"I'm sorry, Train." The apology continued to be spoken in Christopher's mouth.
"I made you go" he said with regret.
"Ratih, do you know? My feelings haven't changed in 30 years! I always look forward to the days when we will be rediscovered. But God has a plan for us. I see you happy with another man. As for me, I still feel at home in solitude thinking of you who won't come back to me again."
"I don't think forgetting you is difficult. But when I try not to remember, you're always in my eyes."
"It's hard to live this life without you. But what can I do? You're not mine anymore. I can't persuade God to give you back to me."
