The iron fence opened slightly, from the inside poking a head, followed by a body that looked thin and frail. One of his hands was holding a plastic bag. With long strides Mickey approached the figure and immediately hugged him tightly, before his tears spilled.
\*\*\*
Joelin stepped casually out of her room, carrying a plastic bag containing the trash she was about to throw away. With a careful movement Joelin's hand moved to open the fence of the house. Within seconds of the door opening, his eyes were clouded and it was painful to see the scene before him. The figure he had longed for was now standing right in front of him. Without a word, the man approached and immediately carried her into an embrace. Joelin put all her emotions down, she cried so much.
"Hey, don't cry.." Mickey peeped at the top of his wife's head.
"You're crying too." Joelin protested.
"I'm not crying."
"Bas a liar."
"What's this?" ask Mickey to touch the plastic Joelin brought without taking off the deck.
"Junk."
"Down first, dear. You're a real slob."
"You're the one who hugs first."
"Ah, okay. I was wrong. But I'm sorry I still want to hug my wife."
"Sttt. Not polite hugging on the side of the road." Said Joelin while pinching Mickey's waist with one of his hands that is now free.
"awwww.. baby, you are." growled Mickey endured the pain.
The man then loosened his arms, after peeping the top of Joelin's head he finally let go of the woman. Both are still in tears, even though they have been trying to joke. With a gentle gesture, Mickey wiped the tears on Joelin's cheek.
After throwing the plastic bag he was carrying into the trash can located at the end of the gate, Joelin immediately pulled Mickey's hand and took him into the building.
Mickey rolled his gaze around the room that Joelin now occupied from the doorway.
"Are you not going in?" joelin asked who was sitting on her bed.
"I. I. I. please forgive me Joelin." Mickey said stammering, his eyes again hot.
"Come here" said Joelin in a trembling voice as she held back her cries.
Mickey stepped limp and immediately sat down by Joelin's side.
"I.." They talked together.
"You.." The two back together.
Mickey and Joelin finally shut up and looked at each other. Mickey then moved his right hand, holding the hand of Joelin who was now sitting next to him.
"You can say it first" Mickey said softly.
Joelin returned Mickey's grasp, her heart ached considering all the events of their last meeting. Joelin took a deep breath, trying to fill up her now very congested lungs. He misses Mickey a lot, but Joelin is also afraid that the truth Mickey brings will hurt him even more.
"Why silence, dear? Didn't you miss you? Me, I miss you so much." Mickey said in a trembling voice as he held back his tears.
"I'm scared" Joelin replied, and her tears broke.
"What's the fear, baby?" Mickey hugged the woman.
"I.. hiks.. Mickey... I'm afraid you're gonna dump me. I haven't met your family, we haven't registered our marriage yet, I'm afraid it'll all be over after this." joelin said.
"Hey... What are you talking about, baby?" Mickey immediately took off his arms and held onto Joelin's shoulders. Let his right hand touch the woman's shoulder, until their eyes collide.
"Joelin, do I look like a man who would just throw you away? I dare to chase you home and ask your parents, I also chase you here. A foreign place I've never been before. Do I still look like the guy who's gonna throw you out?" Mickey asked as he looked into the core of Joelin's eyes gently.
Joelin. His head was filled with many questions and many doubts. There was a shade she saw in her husband's eyes.
"Honey, talk." said Mickey.
"Then, Jee Na...?" joelin asked.
"Sorry baby, sorry.." Mickey's crying broke out instantly. She then held Joelin tightly, Joelin's gaze implying a deep wound, something that made her feel extremely guilty and hurt.
"He's just the past, please trust me Joelin." please Mickey in between.
Joelin mute with her tears that never stop.
"What... I have to believe what?" ask Joelin lirih.
"That video, ah. I hate to remember it. I feel so *******fucking*." mess up Mickey.
Joelin remained silent, waiting for what Mickey would say. Although his heart is not ready to lose Mickey, the truth is still the truth, and Joelin has to face it.
"Explain Mickey." said Joelin lirih.
"Before I started our relationship, he always chased me. Until one day I woke up and Jee Na was next to me. And the video, the memories of the events in the video, I remember vaguely when I woke up. Jee Na kept asking me to be her lover, because I felt guilty that I accepted" Mickey said.
Joelin looked down while looking at her hands which were now held by her husband.
"But I finally realized, I can't lie to Jee Na. Until whenever I can't love him. Then I decided. When we started our relationship, we broke up" Mickey said slowly.
The room went back into silence, only the occasional sobbing sound could be heard.
"But... Why would you do something like that with him?" joelin asked breaking the silence.
"Darling, I told you. Sorry, it was all my fault in the past. Because I failed to take care of myself, you have come to bear all these circumstances." Mickey said softly.
Joelin went back to silence and digested Mickey's words just now. The woman suddenly remembered one thing.
"There's still one more woman" Joelin said with a sullen face.
"ha?" mickey was confused.
"You said once, there were two women who slept with you before I became your wife. Jee Na has come, will the other women come too?" joelin asked plainly, while looking at her husband with her puffy eyes.
"Geez, my wife is so adorable. If he comes, I'll just choose my wife. If from the beginning I wanted to vote for them, of course I married them instead of you." Mickey replied with an anxious squeeze while squeezing Joelin's nose with a cold from crying.
"Torok knows. You're this shit?" joelin asked.
"Yok yangisnya. I can't see you crying like this." Mickey said gently as he hugged Joelin back.
"So we'll stay together?" ask Joelin lirih.
"of course. I can't live without you. Three months without you it's really torturous baby, I wouldn't have survived if something similar happened again."
"Thank you Mickey. I want to tell you something too."
"What a darling"
Jeolin was silent, but his hand reached for Mickey's hand. Aware of Joelin's movements, the man immediately took off his embrace. With a gentle gesture, Joelin guided Mickey's hand to his death.
"Why greet him?" ask Joelin.
"of course. Hi baby, how are you? You're not naughty as long as you're not here?"
"Have you opened the gift? when?" ask Joelin slowly.
"Of course it is. Three months ago. Thanks for taking care of him."
Joelin nodded slowly, a smile rising on her face.
