He loves her, a love that he tries to hide in his cold demeanor. Erroneous love is always blind, love always makes happy, lawless, winged, and infinite. And love breaks all chains of logic. Shella's love for Akemi. Shella broke all the logical links, to put the wings of her love that did not want to be broken.
Shella gathered all her abilities to connect the wings. It's white, how can it be gray? if that color doesn't change, then why would Shella have to change her decision to stay?
Shella lamented her fate which she thought was very unfortunate. Thinking she would lose her beloved husband, made her soul terrified. Shella's whole world is collapsing. The marriage that was in her request, is now extinct. Where should he complain about a troubled heart? he has no relatives or friends. Shella was like living a single kara in this mortal world.
"Akemi, is our marriage going to end like this? at least listen to my explanation. After that, you decide the outcome. Hix, hyx, hyx." Shella cried in the room still in a dress last night. Even the woman had not eaten. Shella had to skip breakfast this morning, or maybe she couldn't remember the meal. Even the woman had forgotten how to sleep well. He stayed up all day waiting for Akemi to come home.
The time has shown at 15:27, but the one in waiting never arrived. Shella's heart was getting riled up.
"Do I have to leave this house? so he can calm down here alone. Maybe my whereabouts here, make him even more hurt. But how am I supposed to explain to him what really happened?" Shella still continued to play around with her thoughts. The taste is getting raging. He never expected this day to come. Love in the past actually makes the woman moping, as a result of the couple who ran away.
Does he really have to leave this house? no, that's not what he can do. Escape was not the right decision.
"If he's going to be angry, then I'm going to hear him. I won't deny that anger. I will sit still until she calms down, and will lend a hand to me again" Shella's monologue to strengthen her heart.
Before long Shella heard the door open, she saw the longed-for figure standing in front of her. That face was missed all day. Her sweet voice, and not infrequently chirping spoiled, was missed by the deep black-eyed woman.
"Achemy?" Shella got out of bed and approached Akemi. Shella wanted to hold her husband tightly, and would not let go of the warmth of the body. However, Akemi looked at Shella with an unreadable look. Shella finally abandoned her intention to embrace the man. He was too scared to just touch her.
Shella lowered her head, she still felt fear as well as guilt. Finally the woman shed tears. It hurts to be ignored.
"Akemi, i-" Shella's voice was stuck in her throat. Unable to continue a neatly arranged sentence an hour ago.
Come, Akemi. At least say something. If you are angry, then just throw it away. If there is no problem, then do not look at Shella with a difficult gaze to read.
"Tell me" Akemi finally said after a long silence. Shella raised her head. The clear liquid was increasingly accommodated in his eye peluk.
"I think you need to explain something to me. So tell me, I'll listen to you until you give me a chance to talk" Akemi continued.
Gathering all the courage, Shella finally told me.
"His name is Ibrahim, his parents are one of the Donors at the Orphanage where I grew up. We were friends since childhood because of the donation. Soon we fell in love with each other. We even plan to get married. But Ibrahim's parents didn't accept me as an orphan." Akemi was still unmoved, she seemed to enjoy every verse of Shella's explanation.
"I can't continue our relationship, because we're too different. From the beginning I felt that we were never the same, never even equal. But Ibrahim kept pushing me to fight. Finally Ibrahim took me home to meet his parents. But then again, I got a rejection. I who am just a kara will certainly not be accepted in the midst of the great family of Ibrahim. I finally stopped" said Shella.
"Why did you stop?" Akemi asked with the same face, illegible.
"Because I'm a woman too. If I keep fighting for our love, then there will be another woman's heart that will be hurt. And that's a mother. How can I break the heart of a mother who gave birth to us in this world? someday I'll be a mother too." Shella's tears began to pour, she could not hold back her feelings anymore.
"Is he the one you call so often in the third of your nights?" I swear by anything, Akemi's heart was hurt because of her own questions.
"Yes, he's the one I call in the third of my night, so that God would be kind enough to bring us together. So I can say, that I quit. And apologized to him for leaving him to fight alone. But before I mentioned Ibrahim's name, it was your name that I mentioned at the beginning and closing of my prayer" Shella replied sincerely.
"Then why don't you ever say that you love me?" Akemi's question is like putting Shella into the courtroom. Yes, Shella is having a trial about her love.
"Because I'm waiting for the right moment for that. At first I decided to tell you last night, even though I haven't got any apologies from Ibrahim. Because I don't want to make you wait any longer. It's enough for me to wait for me in this house, in our house." Shella's words are like hitting Akemi. There was happiness in the silver-eyed man's heart. However, he still wanted to continue his trial on Shella. He had to test the woman until graduation and had satisfactory results. Yes, honestly Akemi wants to test Shella, so that the woman dares to express her pent-up feelings all along. Apart from the man wants to know the story of his wife's past with the man he does not want to call his name.
"Then what was that guy doing around here last night?" Ask Akemi. The man did not want to mention Ibrahim by name, because his heart was too sore when the man's name had to be between them.
"What are you doing here, why not go with him?" Ask Akemi flat. However, to be honest the man's heart trembled when he had to ask a question he did not want to ask.
"Because this is my husband's house, our house, my paradise. Then how can I leave a paradise full of happiness?" Answer Shella steady.
"Are you happy with me?" tanya Akemi was flat, yet full of emphasis.
"I'm happy of course!" Shella answered seriously.
"Why?"
"Because I love you! can't you see how much I love you? can't you feel it every time? because I love you Akemi, I really love you. Hiks, hysterics."
Cups,
There has been enough testing, and the results have been very satisfying. Akemi kissed Shella's lips to stop the woman sobbing because of the difficult feeling to express.
Shella did not return the kiss, she was still surprised by Akemi's attitude as if nothing had happened. Why did the man kiss her? does that mean he's not angry at all? then why did she leave Shella alone earlier?
Akemi takes off the kiss, and puts her forehead together on Shella.
"It's enough, I've heard it" Akemi said with a smile, then gently kissed Shella's forehead.
Shella looked into Akemi's eyes, trying to find anger there, but she didn't find it at all. That mean? how can Akemi not be angry? shouldn't the man be angry? thought Shella.
"Are you not angry with me?" Tanya Shella was scared.
"Why am I angry with you? do you want me to scold you?" akemi Goda. However, Shella was still unwilling to respond to the temptation. For him, it was still too fast.
"Akemi," said Shella. Akemi smiled sweetly at the woman in her heart while cupping her cheeks.
"I'm not mad at you baby, I know you won't betray me. I can see how much you love me. Maybe your lips can lie, but not your eyes, and I've seen your eyes all this time" Akemi said. Shella became moved by Akemi's answer. Is this the man she married? is that the love this man has for him? which other intentions will be denied?
"But why didn't you be honest with me when I asked what made you anxious at the time? is he really the one who's making you anxious?" ask Akemi later.
"Because I'm afraid you won't believe me. How can I slip another man's name between us? while I always sob when I remember that time. I'm afraid you think of my cry as a cry of love for another man" Shella said with teary eyes.
"How can I not trust you? that trust I engrave in my heart at all times. And I never stretched my hand to you. Don't I always wait for you here? in our home," Akemi explained sincerely.
"Then why did you leave me here alone? do you know how scared I am of not seeing you when I open my eyes? I thought you wouldn't come back. Hiks, hyks, hyx," said Shella as she sobbed bitterly.
"Because I need some time, baby. I need peace to clear my mind. I don't want to face any problems in a riled up situation. We were both calm last night. It is not good for us to discuss the problem in the midst of the fire. I don't deny it, if my heart is jealous when I see you with her. But I believe in you a lot more" Akemi explained. Shella smiled happily and was moved by the trust Akemi had for her. They also hugged, as if releasing the increasingly dusty longing.
That love gets stronger when the ego is lowered and gives the relationship a chance. If a relationship is hit by a storm, let the storm subside. Then give the waves a chance to defend the coral in the ocean, so that the storm quickly passes.
To be continued.
