Take Back My Husband

Let's Marry!

Lea could not focus on her work because she kept ringing with what Arya said, nor could she forget how her ex-husband was staring at her, and reassure her heart that she will not repeat the same mistake.

"Let's get married!"

"I love you, and I won't repeat the same mistake, Lea."

Lea let out a heavy sigh, puzzled to have to answer what Arya's questions and requests were.

"One week," muttered Lea. "I'll give you an answer later, but I don't know what to answer."

Instead of trying to get the job done, Lea daydreamed while biting the tip of her pencil she was holding.

Lea leaned her back against the back of the chair, closing her eyes that recalled how Arya struggled after they officially divorced.

While on the other hand, Arya actually works with a carefree heart, it is because she is very confident Lea will accept it. And if it is not accepted, then Arya will follow the advice given by her mother, which is to stop, and focus on her own life.

"But my instinct says he will accept," the monologue Arya is confident. "May You allow this to happen, Lord!"

...🦋...

After a long day of work, Arya and Lea go home together, and don't forget they pick up Jihan who is still at Arya's parents' house.

This time there was not much conversation going on between Lea and Arya, the man wanted to try to give Lea time to think with a cool and calm head, hope after this all according to what Arya hoped.

"Thank you, Papa!" darrel shouted while waving his hands at the Father.

"Don't forget our gift, Papa!" exclaim Jihan who now smiled widely

They've reached Lea's house, but Arya can't stop by because she has to go back to the office, finish her work on time before she leaves tomorrow.

"Bye, Honey!" reply Arya who also waved at her son and daughter.

"Be careful, Mom!" lea said that made Arya look happy.

"I will always be careful because I still want to go home," she said, pressing the word home, as if to confirm that she still wants to go back to Lea.

"We're always waiting for you to come home, Mas" Lea said as she threw her sweet smile.

Arya also returned Lea's sweet smile, before she finally drove off the car, leaving the yard of Lea's house.

...🦋...

At dinnertime, Darrel and Jihan chatter, telling the story of the time they spent with their father, as well as their grandparents. His words, it was very exciting, and they liked it.

Lea listened while smiling occasionally, she did not interrupt in the slightest. Moreover, the woman's thoughts were currently still fixed on Arya.

"Let's just stay at grandma's house last night, too" jihan chirped expectantly.

"Yes, Ma." Darrel. "When are we going home together to Papa's, Ma? We miss living there with Mama!"

"Later, darling," Lea replied.

"When will it be? Mama said it would go on" said Darrel scowling.

"Patience, son!" exclaiming Lea. "There's still some things you need to get done here."

"Are you afraid that Papa will make Mama cry again?" darrel's chirp that made Lea stunned.

"Papa has promised not to make Mama cry really," he added. "Papa also promised never to see Aunt Chill again."

Lea could not respond to what Darrel said, but he hoped that what his son said was true, not to let Arya go back to see Chelsea again.

"Our food is gone!" exclaim Lea then to shift the topic of conversation. "Nothing is left, yeah! The food will cry, pity!"

"Okay, Ma," Jihan replied.

After dinner, Lea and Bibi cleaned the dining table and kitchen as usual. But this time Lea's attitude looks very unusual, the woman is often seen daydreaming, even sometimes she is not aware of the events around her.

"Mother rest!" exclaim Aunt. "I'd better get some sleep, rest in the room, let Auntie finish this."

"It's okay, Bi," Lea said, let alone getting used to the housework.

"Ma, tomorrow papa will go," jihan chirped after he finished brushing his teeth. "Give me another toy gift, Mama!"

"Keep what Papa said?" lea asked, whereas Arya had told her everything, Jihan and Darrel had also told her a long story at the dinner table.

"Yes, I want to buy a lot of words," replied Jihan. "Oh yeah, Mama, when do we go home Papa? Jihan kangen's in there."

The question again, Lea thought.

"Later, baby, just be patient, yeah!"

"Well, Mama," said Jihan.

...🦋....

Lea thought about all the requests of Darrel and Jihan, the two children seemed to have missed their real home. Lea also misses the house, even she dreamed of it.

Last night Lea did not sleep, only to think about what steps she should take in life right now.

The next day, Lea went to Arya's house alone, she wanted to see if the man was ready to go or not. His arrival certainly made Arya very happy.

"What time is your flight, Mom?" ask Lea.

"An hour's left" Arya replied. "Oh yeah, you're here to...." Arya deliberately did not continue her words, she was curious why Lea came, but she did not want to ask because Arya was afraid that Lea would be offended.

"I'll take you to the airport, if you want" Lea said.

"Oh yeah?" Arya immediately screeched happily.

"Yes," Lea replied with a chuckle.

"I take a shower, and then we leave!"

Lea just nodded.

Arya immediately rushed into the room, and she accidentally did not close the door because for her Lea was not a stranger.

So, even though the woman suddenly entered the room, it would actually contain Arya feeling very happy.

While Lea was now going to the kitchen, she noticed her kitchen was very clean, but unfortunately in the refrigerator there were no fresh vegetables. There was only meat, eggs, and fruit.

"Has he eaten?"

Lea wondered as she looked around, there were no dirty dishes at all, the dining table was still very clean. So, she concluded her ex-husband had not eaten.

Because it is impossible to force in a short time, Lea finally chose to cut the fruit for Arya, save it in the stock box belonging to Darrel who is still there.

"Lea, I'm done!" exciting Darrel.

Lea soon family with her fruit. "Here, you can eat on the plane!"

"You brought this? Thanks, yeah!" Arya said happily.

"No!" But Lea denied. "I cut the fruit here" added Arya, but then laughed.

"Where do you want to go, what matters is that you're ready."

Lea chuckled while nodding.

They immediately went to the airport, Arya was driving, and again the atmosphere became quiet because no one started a conversation.

Even so, it was not a problem for the two, they enjoyed togetherness in that silence.

Arriving at the airport, Lea delivers Arya the man's garbage check in.

"Your attention is more loh," said Arya who immediately made Lea chuckle. "I smell a sweet scent."

"Let's get married again!"

"What?"
