The Forbidden Desire of the Wife

A Warm Hugs

Still hugging Marsha's body, Abraham chose silence. No need to say a lot of things. Because, he fully knows that Marsha is in a bad condition. Marsha needs peace now. Too much talk actually makes Abraham add to the mind of Marsha.

All Abraham did was continue to embrace the woman who filled his heart. Once again, Abraham becomes the man who sees Marsha at her worst. Not just once, but many times Abraham who was beside Marsha and gave a hug like to Marsha. It was as if the memories of the past were coming back.

A few years ago …

“Marsha, where are you?” abraham asked who was in college at the time. The man stuck a cell phone in his ear, looking for Marsha.

“Why Bram?” marsha asked who answered. There was a cry in his answer.

Hearing that Marsha's voice sobbed, Abraham was so upset and wanted to find Marsha. Indeed, every time he saw Marsha crying, it felt like Abraham could not resist the turmoil in his heart.

“Say Marsha, where are you right now? I'll be there,” reply Abraham who seemed to want to see Marsha soon.

“At home, Bram .. I'm still at home,” reply Marsha.

“Alright .. I'm going to your house well,” reply Abraham.

“Iya,” answered Marsha by turning off that phone call from Abraham.

Twenty hoses passed, a CBR motorcycle appeared parked in front of Marsha's house. The handsome young man leaned on the motorcycle there and then opened the helmet that protected his head during the ride.

“Excuse me, Marsha,” said the young man as he knocked on the door of Marsha's house.

Not long after, a girl with her eyes opened the door of the house and smiled to see Abraham who was standing at the door of his house.

“Self at home?” ask Abraham.

“Iya, Mama and Papa are gone,” Marsha replied.

“Ke karaokean yuk .. I wait well,” reply Abraham.

The man then chose to sit on a wooden chair outside Marsha's house. Waiting for Marsha to prepare and will invite Marsha to karaokean together. When Marsha's heart is broken, Abraham does have his own way to calm Marsha.

“Already Bram,” said Marsha who had prepared with jeans and did not forget to wear a jacket.

Without waiting for long, Abraham immediately shook Marsha with his Tomorrow Horse and brought him to one of the shopping places in Semarang that there is a karaokean place owned by one of the Indonesian artists.

Let Marsha choose and sing song after song there, letting Marsha's tears unravel as the beautiful woman sings verse after verse of her chosen poignant song. Because, someone who feels eternal in him, sometimes takes a moment to cry. Tears are one of the languages that God created. Everything that cannot be spoken by the lips can be spoken by tears.

Realizing when Marsha stuffing increasingly bitter, until the woman can not sing anymore. Abraham stood up, and immediately embraced Marsha's body. He warmed up the frail body, buried Marsha's face into his chest, and stroked her hands in Marsha's long hair.

“I'm here, Marsha .. cry. Spill all your sorrow,” said Abraham.

Tears all over Abraham's chest. A heart-wrenching and heart-wrenching cry of sorrow, as Abraham embraced and was ready to hold all the tears of sorrow.

“Bram, Mama and Papa want to divorce Bram,” said Marsha in the end.

As a child, the stingiest reality is when the child knows that both parents are about to separate. There is a fear of not being able to meet one of his parents. There is a sense of disappointment with the decision that parents want to make. There is also a sense of confusion because it does not have intact parents. For all that, Marsha cried.

At least Abraham wants to say his existence is that he exists for Marsha. In Marsha's toughest days, Abraham will make sure that he will always be there for Marsha.

“I'm afraid, Bram .. I'm sad, I don't want Mama and Papa divorced,” I'm Marsha honestly.

In her twenties, Marsha was faced with the harsh reality of her parents divorcing her. This is a big blow for a child. In a divorce between parents, the child suffers more. However, sometimes the suffering and disappointment of the child is not seen by the parents. Divorce destroys a child's life, destroys the child mentally. The whole family is in fact only in a story, but Marsha does not feel the wholeness and full affection of the family.

Now …

“Yes there is me, Marsha .. Oh my God, Marsha .. why can you be like this?” abraham spoke by moving his hands up and down, giving a gentle swipe at the top of Marsha's head.

The man sighed so heavily and still hugged Marsha there. “Which hurts anywhere?” ask Abraham.

Hearing Marsha's confession that this morning, Marsha had made a visa, Abraham thought that the wounds on Marsha's body were so many. I want him to treat Marsha, bandage her wounds now.

In the chest of Abraham's field, there was a faint ring of Marsha's head. The woman shook her head, “Many Bram, sick,” she said with a confession that she was in pain.

“What can I do Sha?” abraham this time.

“Help me, Bram .. hug me only,” Marsha replied.

Yeah, at his lowest point like this was just Abraham's hug he needed. Just like in the past where Abraham always came and hugged him. Now, it's as if Marsha rediscovered the shelter for a moment. Abraham's embrace was a refuge for him. The little warmth he got from Abraham's embrace, could provide a sense of security for his life that is so strange at this time.

Somehow, Marsha buried her face in Abraham's chest and enjoyed the embrace of her ex-lover. Up to the limit Marsha parsed for a moment Abraham's embrace on his body.

"Thank you very much, Bram," Marsha said this time.

His crying had subsided, Marsha then bowed and was about to take the sling bag that was on the table in the living room. Abraham watched Marsha closely.

"Where are you going Sha?" asked Abraham this time, as Marsha seemed to take the keys of his car which was also lying on the nightstand.

"To Semarang, Bram ... I want to go home to Mama's house" Marsha replied.

"Now? Tonight?" ask Abraham.

"Yes, where else could I take shelter if not to my parents' house. My husband can't give me any more protection" Marsha replied.

Abraham quickly clasped Marsha's hand, stopping the woman's movement. "Stay here, Sha .. You can occupy this apartment. Do not go in this situation, after all it is late at night," said Abraham who stopped the action Marsha this time.

"Get in that room .. rest. If you have calmed down, you can go to Semarang" Abraham replied.

It's just that riding in the middle of the night and in the mind of fear will actually be dangerous for Marsha. For this reason Abraham arrested Marsha.

"Bram, but ...."

"No buts, Sha .. rest first. Calm yourself. If you have calmed down, I will take you to Semarang. Don't go home alone. I'll take you in two days." Abraham spoke up and asked Marsha to calm herself down first.

Abraham promised that these two days, when Marsha could be calmer. Abraham will take his ex-girlfriend back to Semarang.
