Chapter 4 Sweet romance in Paris
In the romantic atmosphere of Paris, France, Richard's tenderness and affection are perfect. Not in a hurry to touch his wife when he got to the hotel, Richard took Niken out of the hotel and boarded a water bus down the Seine, Richard never let go of the hug on his wife's shoulder.
A cold wind blew over the river, blowing Niken's long, black and thick hair. When the water bus docked to the Eiffel Tower, the day began late in the afternoon and was clouded over the Seine river. Richard led Niken down from the water bus and walked down the road to one of the romantic corners under the tower, slowly dusk began to stretch, yellow lights began to light up and the light shone like a starlight.
A thick romantic atmosphere enveloped the hearts of the newlyweds. Richard fixed the scarf around his wife's neck. They stared at each other with sadness, the roar of Niken's soul integrated with the shakes of love in the eyes of her lover's eagle. Richard drew closer to his lover's face, Niken closed his eyes when Richard kissed her soft sweet lips. Niken replied with all her heart. Not only were their lips intertwined, but their hearts were also like melted in a sweep of cold wind beneath the Eiffel Tower.
They spent the twilight along the Seine river. While telling a lot of things, while fingers are endlessly intertwined with each other. They enjoy a romantic dinner before returning to the hotel and blending passionate love in the contest the first night.
In the middle of the night, Niken awoke to hear a groan beside her.
The man who was now lying with her under this same blanket was delirious. His body shivered like it was experiencing fear and sadness simultaneously. Niken tries to touch Richard's shoulder but is caught off guard when Niken hears the speech in her husband's sleep.
"Sorry Pa, sorry Om, geez, don't ....!"
Niken cupped her husband's face with both hands, waking him up by kissing the closed eyelids in a tear.
"Dear, wake up, please, honey."
Niken shook Richard's body which began to flood with cold sweat.
Richard opened his eyelids and found that the figure of the woman who had always been able to make his soul fall before him with tears of worry. Richard hugged Niken and cried in his arms.
"Sorry dear, here I am, the strong-looking man you see from the outside, yet fragile in the bitter memories that consume my soul. I'm sorry I worried you."
Richard's whisper in Niken's ear. Niken let go of her husband's embrace and swept the sweat across Richard's face. Gently caress that face.
"Why dear, you can tell me here, I'll listen to you."
Richard said, it was stupefied that since childhood his father did not like his presence, because the figure of Richard reminded his wife's affair with another man who was caught perverting in their room just when pregnant Richard.
DNA tests showed Richard's son
But Dad's hatred for his mother created pain in Richard's childhood. Physical roars, incessant verbal attacks whack his tiny body and soul. Richard grew up in deep trauma. Without love and affection. His mother never dared to defend Richard.
His mother once told him that when Richard was a teenager, that he had never committed adultery with any man, that everything that happened that night was a big scenario that someone was setting up to separate his father and mother.
Whatever the reason, the plan that the person put together was not so easy to succeed, because Richard's mother chose to endure the pain and suffering on the side of her beloved husband sincerely.
Richard ended his story and hugged his wife tightly.
"Stay with me forever honey, don't leave me alone." whispered Richard softly.
Niken nodded.
Niken kissed Richard lovingly, and that night they filled with each other, sharing and giving.
Niken stared gently at the face of her husband who was still asleep with just a blanket without his clothes. His muscular and shiny body in the morning sun that pierced through the glass window grille made Niken feel in disbelief, that this charming man had a very painful life.
Niken who had bathed and dressed beautifully sat on the side of her husband's bed, tracing the curves of the handsome face with her index finger.
Niken did not understand why Richard's family life seemed perfect and harmonious in public but apparently hid such deep wounds.
Niken thought, who is the man who was framed with Richard's mother, who designed the scenario, is it possible that he will also get terrible treatment like Richard's mother? Niken shook her own. She was willing to give up anything in her life but she was determined not to let go of this man forever.
Niken, who lives without her parents, lives alone and only with Aunt Cyntia who claims to be a mother.
Niken never knew what caused both of her parents to die. He never knew where the grave was.
Niken's fate is no better than her husband's. Even to this day Niken never remembered her childhood. Like it's gone and empty. He never knew what he was going through. All he remembered was a repeated remark in his ear.
"Don't kill my son, he's innocent, please ...."
All the childhood memories recorded in Niken's memory only began at the age of 7 when Aunt Cyntia took care of him.
Niken has tried his hardest to find his lost memory, but his soul is like blocked by a subconscious desire to forget.
In a stressful state of life and struggle, Niken grows up to be a tough woman. Not only his soul but also his physical. Although in plain sight she seems weak helpless, but actually Niken is a very tough girl.
Richard opened his eyes and caught Niken's hand caressing his face.
In his kiss, the clothes were full of love.
The jerking of the hand and Niken fell in the arms of his chest. Richard kissed his wife's neck.
"Wake up baby, take a shower, let's have breakfast and go for a walk. Delay her passion." seduced Niken while releasing her husband's embrace. Richard laughed happily. Niken pulled him to his feet and when Richard stood up his blanket fell off. Niken closed her eyes and shouted in surprise. Richard laughed amusedly at the reaction of his wife who was not used to seeing her husband in the morning.
Richard walked to the bathroom.
"Honey, towel dong, please towel us, I don't want a towel from the hotel."
richard shouted from behind the bathroom door.
Niken immediately brought a towel, but when his hand was outstretched, Richard pulled him into the bathroom. And the morning atmosphere turned full of happy rainbows for both people with dark black past trauma.
They seem to be happy together.
