The Love of the Past

Don't Tease Us

Two months have passed, Nayra is now recovering after the surgical removal of ovarian cysts in her suffering. As long as his health had not recovered, he only took a complete rest and did not visit his restaurant at all because Arkha always forbade him, even if it was only out of the house once.

However, today Nayra is free to breathe fresh air. He felt no pain at all and could go wherever he wanted, including his favorite restaurant. One of Nayra's main goals when recovering, is none other than to visit Zayn, his beloved ex. Although it is not justified as a wife to be excessive to other men, but his instincts are still very difficult to stay away from him. Nayra was blinded by the past.

"Ah, it has been a long time since I have visited Zayn, will Brother Arkha allow me, yes?” he muttered as he was drying his hair in front of the sink after he finished his bath.

Before long, Nayra went out and met Arkha who was getting ready to go to the office. The man looked more dashing and dignified while wearing a black suit, with a tie patterned with a circular stripe around his neck.

"Arkha,” call him.

"Yes, honey, why?"

"May I see Zayn in the hospital?"

"When?"

"After breakfast."

“Boleh Darling, but I'll come with you.”

"Aren't you going to the office?" Nayra was sitting on the edge of the bed staring at her husband from the mirror reflection of the dresser, the man was busy styling his hair.

"I just stopped by for a minute, honey. Later you if you want to go home to pick up Mr. Hasan. It's okay, right?" Arkha approached Nayra and sat down beside her.

"alright. Yeah, well, then I'll change clothes first, yeah."

"Yes, baby, I'll wait."

****

Arkha and Nayra head to the hospital to visit Zayn. Arriving there, they met Dera who happened to be in front of the ICU room, precisely on the balcony of the hospital. He was focusing on the view of the city and the park located below.

“Dera,” call Nayra while touching the shoulder of the woman standing behind her.

“Hai, Nayra. You guys since when are you here?” Dera is shocked to see the presence of Nayra and her husband.

“Just now, why are you outside? What is the examination doing? How is Brother Zayn?”

“The check was already this morning, I also just got out of there, get some fresh air. Zayn's state is still no development, whether until when he can be aware.” Dera gazed again towards the vast realm, he was like a person of many minds, his gaze was also blank.

"Do you want to see him?" dera asked, looking back.

"Yes, I want to see the state of Zayn" said Arkha who stood next to Nayra.

"But doctors don't let two people in, only one person can take turns" Dera said.

"Alright, then you go first, Ar. After all, you also have to go to the office immediately, right?" timpal Nayra's.

"Yes, then, I'm in, huh, Dera?"

"Yes, please!"

Arkha also entered the ICU room, he was really intent to visit Zayn even though he actually knew, the man in front of him that always makes his heart warm up a little. If he doesn't have any memories of his past with his wife, maybe he'll be best friends with Zayn.

Next to the gurney, Arkha stood staring at the compassion of the man of her age, her extremely weak and helpless condition making her feel pity. Although Arkha did not know him very well yet, but he was indeed the type of person who cared deeply about others.

"Zayn, I know you love my wife, and vice versa, from Nayra's gaze, I can read her heart too. Yes, all this time, you have always been in Nayra's mind, even you have control over her heart. But, just so you know, I'm not gonna let you take my wife. I just want you to realize and open your eyes that Dera is a good woman, she loves you very sincerely. Change for him, look at your future! And don't keep looking back. Your past is already in the grasp of the right person, so never bother with it again."

Arkha continued to speak to Zayn's body, which in fact had no consciousness at all. He just wanted to convey all the grunts he had in his pendam when the man reappeared in his wife's life. If Zayn had not been in an accident, Arkha would have spoken to him face to face and warned him to stay away from his wife.

After Arkha said something to Zayn at length, he rushed out of the room and met his wife to say goodbye.
