The Hidden Love

Evades

"Mas, where have you been? Why can't I call?"

"Sorry Love, my phone missed in the car. Where are you now? I'm sorry I forgot that I left you at the mall."

"It's okay, Mom. Oh yeah, who's sick?"

"Rulisa."

Duars!

Tub struck by lightning in broad daylight, Love's body stiffened instantly. She thought her husband had started to change, but her guess was wrong. The crystal fell without Love controlling it. Seeing how her husband reacted earlier, made his heart feel sliced into pieces. 

Unknowingly, Love dropped her phone.

"Love, where are you now? Love."

Not knowing on the call to how much Love said, which obviously quite a long time he kept silent. "I'm home" said Love. He tried to hold back his cries so as not to be heard by William.

"Yes, I'm going home now."

Clik.

Love immediately disconnects the call. Saltwater melt from his eye spilled.

'That's what you were when you heard she was sick. You even left me, forgot me, and I was like a fool waiting for you to come. Is that the attitude of a brother to his sister?' Love is getting sobbing.

Satisfied to open his cry, Love went to the bathroom, wiping his face so as not to look like a person who had finished crying. Glancing at the wall clock, six o'clock in the afternoon. Soon he heard the footsteps getting closer. Love sure it must be her husband.

"Love. I'm sorry, I forgot that I left you at the mall."

"It's okay. Take a shower!" Love without looking at her husband's face.

"So you went straight home, or waited for me there?" Grabbing the towel that Love is offering.

"I go straight home" replied Love, flat. She went to get a change of clothes for her husband, leaving William still standing in his place.

Seven in fifteen minutes. They spent dinner together, and the three were currently sitting relaxed in the living room.

William knew Love was angry with him, proved the girl silenced him, and only answered questions as necessary.

"What pain does Raisa have, son Willi?" Tania opened her voice.

"His leg was sprained ma'am, he said falling down the stairs. Ordinary, since childhood he and my sister are indeed a hobby once joking, until sometimes jokes outrageous."

"Hm so." Tania glanced at William's empty teacup. "Love, grab the teapot in the kitchen, your husband's cup is empty!" Tell the woman.

"Yes Mom." The love that had been silent had obeyed his mother's orders without many words.

"I'm sorry, ma'am" William said.

"Sorry for what?" Tania frowned, confused by her daughter-in-law's words.

"So I was panicking, I just kept on leaving Love."

"Hm, about that. It's okay, son."

"Love home on what?"

"He came home by taxi at four this afternoon" Tania said.

"What's? Four o'clock in the afternoon, ma'am?"

"Yes, he said he's waiting for Nak Willi, he wants to watch" he said."

William was silent to his mother-in-law's words. If Tania says so, it means that Love has lied to her. William thought Love would come home as soon as he did not come, but his guess was broken. Love waited at the mall for four hours.

The small talk ended when Tania decided to take a break in her room immediately. The frail woman must indeed be extra to maintain her health so that the disease does not recur. Love, the daughter alone wayangnya also will not be possible to allow his mother to sleep until late at night.

After applying her night skincare, Cinta rushed up to the bed. As before, the girl's lips continued to clench tightly. Assuming William wasn't there by continuing to ignore the man.

"Why lie?" Finally the question that William had been holding since, slid also from his lips.

"It is fine to lie for the sake of kindness" Love replied without intending to look at the man.

"You waited four hours" William said.

"No problem. As long as Mas can meet your sister," Love quipped.

Silent.

"sorry. Forgive me ... I forgot to leave my phone in the car" William tried to explain after the silence that hit them for a while.

"God doesn't forget he has a wife."

Slap blow. William's speechless. The man obviously could not dwell, especially when Love was so angry with him. Regret haunts William. He could not imagine if he was in the position of Love at that time. Waiting for four hours without certainty. Of course he will be angry.

"Love ..."

Silent.

Love hasn't slept, William knows it. Love was so angry with her that the girl would not talk to her.

The sun is preparing to climb its throne. Drops of dew fall, the remnants of last night's rain are still so pronounced.

As if nothing happened. Love still takes care of all the needs of her husband. Work suit is ready on the sofa complete with tie and watch, as well as the flagship pantofel shoes William.

"Love, where's your husband? Why wasn't he invited to breakfast?" Tania reprimanded her daughter when she saw the girl coming to the dining table alone.

"Still in the room, Mom. Come here later."

"This you, learn to be a good wife of Love" dumel Tania, again.

'What good is that if my own husband never thought I existed.' I would love it to say that, but unfortunately he did not have the courage.

"What's the noise, ma'am?" William approached the dining table with his neat appearance.

"I'm sorry Love, son. She still needs to learn to be a good wife, Nak Willi as her husband must remind if she is wrong."

"Mother excessive. We're both learning to be good husband and wife, ma'am."

They also eat in silence. Love still takes care of her husband, but with her mouth still locked.

William drove his four-wheeled vehicle at medium speed. On the way, again Love is silent. He did not budge, even when William occasionally stole a glance at him. Arriving at the office is the same. Love rushed to his desk, all the attitudes he showed were enough to strengthen William's thinking. Love tries to avoid it.

"Love, go inside!" Tell the man.

Without a word, Love followed William with a stack of paper in his hand.

"Schedule Father today ..."

"I don't want to hear that!" Cut William. Love does have a habit of directly spelling out William's schedule shortly after the man occupied his great seat.

"Good Sir." Love nodded. He then thrust out the pile of maps that were in his hands. "Please sign it because I will hand it back to Mr. Vishnu." 

"You're angry!" William asked directly.

"angry? What am I angry for," replied Love calmly.

"You ignored me, silenced me and acted as if nothing had happened between us" William said.

"I mean Father?"

"I know you're angry because I left you at the mall yesterday. I admit I was wrong, I'm sorry, but please don't ignore me."

"I'm not ignoring you. I'm doing my job well" Love denies.

"It's not about work" William said.

"Isn't the office where people work."

"Please Love ..."

Love takes a rough breath. His chest rumbled withstanding the emotions he had been trying to endure since last night.

"good. What do you want me to say?"

"I'm sorry."

"What are you apologizing for."

William looked at the girl. The two sat together. "I've just left you behind, and I made you wait a long time there."

"What then can apologizing do to fix everything?" Love looks on. His eyes had dewy, but he could bear it as much as possible so that no liquid would fall from there.

"We can repeat that another time. I'll take you to watch it again, as my apology."

"And unfortunately I am no longer interested" replied Love, indifferently.

"What a way you have to forgive me."

"I didn't say that, I told you I forgave you."

"Please Love, don't be like this" beg William.

"Then how should I?"

"Say, what do you want?"

"If I had asked you not to see Raisa again, could you have done it?"

The real stupid question Love already knows the answer, but I don't know. Love just wants to make sure, and this time his conjecture proves true. William would not be able to answer.

"Love ... Me ...,"

"Please sign this document, ten more minutes I'll be in to retrieve it."

Love goes away with a chaotic feeling. He shouldn't have asked that which in the end only made him more and more hurt.

Lunch time has arrived. William came out of his study, to take Love to lunch. However, the man did not see his wife on his desk, and as William was about to catch up with the Love he predicted was in the cafeteria at the moment, William passed by an OB who was delivering his lunch.

"Sir, Father's lunch." The OB lifted the tray. William was forced to return to his room.

"Have you chosen this menu?" Ask William to the man.

"No, Sir. Miss Love ordered everything," the big-haired man replied.

William nodded. "You can go."

"Good Sir. Excuse me."

William was really dizzy. He has never had a special relationship with the opposite sex. Raisa is the only girl capable of capturing her heart and attention. William also had no expertise in persuading angry women.

All day William kept on being restless. He could not focus at all on his work because he kept thinking of ways to make Love forgive him. 

It turned out that the woman's anger was so disturbing William. Love wouldn't talk to her if it wasn't for something important.

The sky has broken. William ended his work, took care of important things and put them in his briefcase. He had been steady to try again talking to Love. The man also left his room. William was confused when he found that Love was no longer at his desk, the girl had gone home first, evident from his neat table.

"He's totally avoiding me" his monologue. William grabs the cell phone in his suit pocket and starts contacting Love.

"Where are you?" Ask as soon as Love lifts her call.

"I stopped by the fruit shop" Love replied from across the street.

"Why not wait for me?"

"I was afraid to interrupt, my work was done early, and I knew you would see Raisa again" Love said.

"In which fruit shop?"

"Near the office."

"You wait there, I'll be there soon."

"No need! I'm done, and I'm on the bus now."

"Good God, Love ..."

William growls when he finds out Love severed the call unilaterally.
