Letters Arsen

*For my wife, Nadhea Queenaya*.

*When you read this, it means I'm gone. No crying! Keep smiling and go through the day as you should. Remember, there are dreams and hopes still waiting for you to pursue*.

*Nadhea, I know my mistakes are huge, even apologizing a thousand times is not enough. But I really hope I'm sorry about you. Whether appropriate or not, I really want that*.

*Nadhea, sorry, I didn't leave a lot of assets for you, just a little savings stored on this card. I'm worried about you, Dhea. If there's a house, an apartment, or a stock I give you, you're gonna have a problem with my brothers. If it's a*savings, they won't know. That way you'll be safe*.

*Nadhea, this card PIN is the date**our wedding. You still**remembering it, right*?

*Although not much, but hopefully useful for the next few days. Promise to always be happy, so that I do not regret leaving you*.

*From me, the husband who always loved you, Arsen William Osric*.

Several lines of writing are listed in a piece of paper that is included in the envelope. Although the tears could not be dammed, but Nadhea also smelled a smile. He was moved by Arsen's attitude, which was very respectful so that he was not sad.

"Not crying is impossible, Mom. I feel lost anyway. But .. yes, I promise it won't be long in grief. I will pursue my dreams and my future, I know my path is still long" Nadhea said, looking at Arsen's handwriting.

First love, then first husband, both have gone for eternity— in almost the same way—accelerated by people. At any time there will be no chance. Although both have hurt, but it is undeniable to have also carved sweet memories.

"Ah" said Nadhea.

Later, he moved on and kept a credit card and letters from Arsen. Then, get on the bed and lie there. Nadhea wanted to sleep for a while to reduce the burden of the mind that is getting fuller.

At first, Nadhea could not sleep, just staring at the ceiling of the room while remembering the flashback over the course of her life. However, slowly fatigue approached, then drove him in a dream cradle.

Pretty long Nadhea fell asleep—nearly four hours. He woke up when the clock was already showing the number five. Nadhea rushed to take a shower and then prepared dinner.

After the magrib, Nadhea invited her father to eat dishes, while saying goodbye to shopping for some groceries. Prawira did not forbid, just advised not to go home too late.

"The wind is cold, but comfortable, can calm the mind of a lot of burden," muttered Nadhea when she arrived outside the house. The supermarket he was heading to was not too far away, that was why he chose to walk.

Before arriving at the supermarket, Nadhea first stop at the ATM. In addition to taking money from his own cards, Nadhea also wants to see the card given by Arsen.

"Hopefully Papa's work continues smoothly," muttered Nadhea when he saw the remaining balance in his card— two hundred thousand rupiah.

While exhaling violently, Nadhea took Arsen's card and put it in the machine. Sure enough, the PIN number is indeed their wedding date.

When the screen displays the amount of balance in the credit card, Nadhea's eyes immediately widened, her mouth gaping, and her heart was pounding.

Seriate....
