The Deepest Regrets of a Husband

A late regret

Found the son coming home from the office in a bedraggled dress. Makes Rohana shocked.

"El, what are you. Like a child." said Rohana, who was passed by Gabriel in the living room.

"El go to Ma's room first" Gabriel replied in a weak voice. Without caring about the ravings of the Mama who often protested it these days. Gabriel moved his foot towards the room.

Gabriel's behavior is getting weirder and stranger by the day.

Seeing the behavior of his son who is increasingly sane. And it's getting to look like a fool. Makes Rohana more angry.

Since being left by Nandini. Gabriel often locked himself in his room.

He often does not even eat with his family at the dinner table.

If he was hungry, Gabriel told Art to deliver food to his room.

The room was the most convenient place for Gabriel to confine himself. From all forms of deep disappointment in his family, especially the mother. Who so far has not been able to accept Nandini well.

"I can't stand being in this house anymore. I just want to die in this house. Living in a big house like this doesn't make me happy. It's like living in hell."

"Please, so far Mas has been trying to convince Mama to accept you. But maybe Mama can't really accept you."

"I've been trying to be strong. But long ago, their words were always sharp to my heart. Even they bluntly insulted me in the presence of Mas El. Accusing me of being barren, accusing me of just using Mas."

Complaints that often expressed Nandini to him if he felt depressed again Gabriel remembered.

Usually, Nandini will spill all the complaints he feels if they have been in the room.

Because the room for Gabriel and Nandini is the only place they are most comfortable in the house to talk to each other.

The room for them was like home. There was no other part of the room in the house that was comfortable for them to be able to relax. Because if they are relaxing in the room in the house. The Mama Rohana always teased.

Walk in lethargic steps. Gabriel opened the wardrobe in the dressing room and took out a set of casual clothes for him to wear.

Usually, if Nandini is around. Nandini will prepare the clothes.

Not only lost, Gabriel also lost the service of the wife who now faithfully cares so much for her.

When he opened the closet door, Nandini's clothes were still neatly arranged there again opened Gabriel's heart wound.

Gabriel then remembered the moment when the wife complained to him.

Flashbacks.....

"Darling, what's wrong with you?" gabriel asked Nandini's wife when he noticed she was silent about not talking to him.

Gabriel then put his book on the nightstand. Then he leaned his body and softly kissed the smooth cheeks of Nandini who was lying on his side.

"I'm tired of Mas. I'm sleepy. I want to go to bed early." replied Nandini who didn't seem to want to be disturbed. Then he started to close his eyes.

"Are you hurt by your words at the dinner table. Sorry Mama Din. You know what you're feeling. She also felt hurt by my attitude. I don't even accept with all Mama's treatment of you. But I was confused Din. Must behave how. Because after all she is still my Mama." said Gabriel, who wanted to comfort his wife by showing that she also understood what Nandini's wife felt.

"Thank you for always understanding me. But yeah, that's it. We from the past until now have to be patient, patient, and patient right. What else can we do. There is no Mas. Just get out of this house we can't." Nandini said subtly to the husband.

"I was able to survive this far because of Mas El. The only one who cares and cares for me in this house is you. I don't know what if Mas El's attitude changes."

"Your attitude won't change with you dear."

"I hope so."

"I have no doubt, I believe. But we don't know what's going on with our relationship. Sure and sure I wish you well."

"Don't be afraid baby, you're the only woman in Mas's heart."

"Thank you" said Nandini, with a faint smile.

"Here you go, I want to rest. I want to sleep first. Don't bother me." Nandini then tries to close her eyes and sleep.

Gabriel let his wife sleep. He then pulled out a blanket to cover Nandini's body, who was wearing an evening dress.

Gabriel enveloped his wife and then gave a kiss to Nandini's head.

The flashback

"Before it's too late, find your wife and apologize. So that you don't feel more sorry."

And, without a second thought. Gabriel immediately grabbed his phone on the table and immediately left his study. That night he accidentally melted in the office.

With a trembling heart, a chaotic mind and the fear of losing his wife. Gabriel drives his car at high speed to get home.

After hearing the words of Raphael. Gabriel's mind is open.

"Nandini I'm sorry." Gabriel said along the way to the house.

He hoped that he could apologize to his wife as soon as he got home.

Half an hour later, Gabriel arrived and parked his car in the garage. Get out of the car and get into the house.

Arriving in the house. Gabriel climbed up the stairs with quick steps to get to his room.

Arrive in front of the room. With both hands. Gabriel opened the door of his room wide. Because he wanted to see the wife's face immediately. That afternoon he had deliberately ignored his desire to meet her.

"Nandni." Pangil Gabriel's. His eyes seemed to scan the entire room to find the figure he really wanted to meet. But the figure was not in the room.

"Nandni!" shout again Gabriel. Then he stepped his feet to get into the room and look for the wife. But still, he couldn't find it.

"Nandni. Where are you?" now Gabriel's voice seemed to shake.

Gabriel then grabs his phone and calls Nandini's mobile number. But, the phone is inactive.

As Gabriel walked past the dresser. Gabriel's attention seemed to be focused on a small circular object located on top of a piece of paper.

As soon as Gabriel approaches the dressing table. And Gabriel watched carefully. It turned out to be a wedding ring between her and Nandini.

And what was there was a ring that belonged to Nandini's wife.

Not just a ring. Nandini also left two ATM cards.

Slowly, Gabriel took the ring.

"No Nandini."

Looking at the dresser there was a piece of paper in which the words had been written. Gabriel then took the paper and read it.
