Thank You for True Love

FIRST 16 NIGHTS - PART 1

They both sat at the dining table. Eat food orders that have come voraciously, because they are really hungry. After finishing dinner, Dinda hastily made a warm chocolate that had been abandoned by her husband's friendly disorder.

He brought the drink he made into the living room, along with Adit who came out of the room, after putting his phone in there, because he did not want to be disturbed by the ringing of the phone like that.

"You're sleepy already..? Today must be very tiring, what else do you have to do from the morning.." Ask Adit while sipping his warm chocolate.

"Little bit. But I don't want to sleep yet.." Dinda leaned her head against the sofa, still holding her cup.

"Keep what..?" Adit asked again, then finished his drink and put it back on the table.

"You want what..??" The old habit of the wife appeared again, reversing the question. In her heart she hoped, the husband understood her point..

Adit who was asked was silent. He wanted to.., but did not dare to say it, what else to ask his wife. His feelings collided with his own, making him sigh long.

He took the cup that Dinda still held and put it on the table.

Then immediately grabbed the body of the wife beside him into his arms. Dinda's head fell and rested on her shoulder. Stabbed and kissed the head of the wife he loved so much.

Just like that, his heart was already severely turbulent. You cowardly man.., he cusses himself.

Dinda resigned in the warm embrace of her husband. He was happy, Adit started taking the initiative on his own. His hands then coiled tightly to the husband's body. He further buried his head above the chest of Adit's field, so that he could hear clearly the heartbeat and the roar of his breath that began to hunt erratically.

Don't ask how Adit feels when he finds out that Dinda hugs him back and leans against his chest. He's a normal guy. Surely his passion peaked. What's more he's never touched or touched a woman excessively.

In such a situation, his male instincts are really tested. Although it is actually legitimate for him if he wants to do anything, they have become husband and wife.

But fear always approached him. Excessive fear may be.. Afraid to make her cry, afraid to make her angry, afraid to make her sad, afraid to make her uncomfortable.

"Darling, why are you..?" Dinda tried to find out something about her husband. He felt something was hidden by Adit.

Adit breathed as deeply as possible, then exhaled slowly. It seemed that he indeed had to tell his wife, so that there would be no misunderstanding of her attitude.

"I want to tell you something, baby.." Finally Adit felt sure to open up to his wife.

"It is with pleasure that I will listen to him.." Dinda let go of his embrace, and so did Adit.

Now they faced each other, both sitting cross-legged on the sofa.

Adit held both hands. He looked at his wife's face. It was as if seeking strength from those loving eyes.

"When I was in high school, I had a friend. We were like brothers, because in addition to schoolmates, we were neighbors. He's a very nice, cheerful, loving, sociable kid and a fun friend.." Dinda saw clearly there was a sadness on Adit's face as he began his story.

"Until one day, she had a boyfriend. I don't really know her, because her boyfriend's different schools with us. All I know from her story to me is that her boyfriend is very kind and well mannered, and he loves her very much. Her parents also liked her boyfriend. Until one day..."

Adit broke the sentence. His eyes are remembering something..

"He told me that his girlfriend started asking for things she shouldn't have done. Starting from hugs, kisses, to palpations that lead to coercion. I asked him to refuse if he did feel dislike and uncomfortable with his girlfriend's treatment. But she couldn't resist for fear that her boyfriend would get angry and force her even more.. And finally that afternoon.."

Adit's eyes reddened as if holding anger.., Dinda further tightened her hand grip for Adit.

"After school I went to his house because that day he did not go to school without news. But what I found that afternoon..." Adit stopped and remained silent.

As if he understood, Dinda immediately went to get a glass of water for her husband, and immediately Adit immediately drank it quickly until it ran out.

"Are you okay, baby? Don't continue if you can't..." Dinda was worried to see Adit looking pale. But Adit shook his head.

"I want to finish my story. This is the first time and probably the last time I'm talking about this. I just wanted to share this story with you, baby.." Dinda nodded slowly and went back to listening to Adit continue his story.

"The house was quiet, I rang the bell several times and there was no answer. Usually both parents go home from work in the afternoon, and her brother went to college until the afternoon. I was about to turn around when I suddenly heard a soft cry from inside his house.."

"I tried to see through the window, the door to her room was open. As I was about to try to open the door of his house, his father came in because he got a call from a neighbor who was suspicious to see his girlfriend out in a hurry from his house. Then we both went into the house and.., I saw him there, in his room..."

Adit's eyes, which had been reddened, now began to shed tears..

"He lay weakly on his bed, only crying softly, unable to move due to the many wounds on his body that were not covered by a single thread.. She raped her boyfriend.. He was unable to resist because he was threatened and even persecuted in such a way.."

"I, who was in high school at the time, saw with my own eyes such a bad event and experienced by my own friends.., my feelings suddenly froze, died just like that..."

Dinda cried when she heard Adit's story, and she couldn't even imagine how she would feel if she was in Adit's position.

"And that made me even more sad and hurt, she got pregnant because of that dark event, and it made her even more shocked, traumatized inside out, her soul shaken violently, she said, no longer able to face the increasingly bitter reality.."

"Finally, she was admitted to a mental hospital and gave birth there. His girlfriend was arrested and imprisoned. Then his family decided to move house and take care of the child he was born with.."

Adit finished his story while rubbing his face, wiping away the rest of his tears. He breathed a sigh of relief as he was finally able to open this story to Dinda.
