The Love That Is Taken

Theresa's Birthday Anniversary

"Hello, There. You're so pretty in that dress" Jonathan praised when his wife arrived at his apartment. Theresia does look so charming wearing a maroon sleeveless dress with an elegant black combination.

The dress was so fitting attached to her slender body. Her new clothes were bought this afternoon at the mall and immediately taken to the executive laundry that provides premium services within two hours.

"Thank you, Mom," the woman replied happily. He saw the husband looking in amazement at him. "What do you bring, how much? Here I help you" said the host. Quickly taken all the luggage of his guests and put it on the dining table.

Theresia's view was directed at a cheese cake sprinkled with fresh strawberries on the table. There are two candles with the numbers three and four standing sweetly on the cake. The woman was so moved. Apparently the husband still remembers his favorite cake.

"Yes, happy birthday again, yeah. I wish you all the best, There," said the host sincerely as he extended his hand to shake his hand. The woman in front of him welcomed the hand. It was very desirable that he hugged the man, but his common sense said that this was not the right time. Do not let Jonathan suspect the real purpose of his arrival.

"Thank you very much, Mommy. I'm so glad you wanted to come with me for my birthday. You know, I've limited my friendship environment. Now it's only Mas Jon that I really think of as my true friend."

Jonathan smiled happily. He was grateful that his wife had been completely separated from the socialite gang that had often provoked him by showing off - it was meaningless. Thank goodness now There has been able to sort out what is good and not for him, his mind is relieved.

"What kind of food are you bringing? A great deal. There's wine, too...."

"Hehehe.., that's a prank, Mas. Make a little drink. It's okay, right?"

"It's ok," the man answered without suspicion. "I happen to not have been drinking wine for a long time. In the past, while still working in the office Papa would lobby many officials and top entrepreneurs. So often drink this. Now the market share of my business is different. I don't really need lobbies like that. I rarely drink wine."

"Then, it will be spent. This is a special day. You still have to, can't you, finish a bottle?" challenge Theresia with sparkling eyes. "I'll have a little drink. I was told by a psychiatrist to avoid drinking alcohol. If it's a little, it's okay."

Jonathan mangosteen. He then asked something, "Oyeah, are you still routinely counseling with that old psychiatrist?"

Wife shook. "Not for a long time. I've been able to dive into meditation therapy, Mas. It feels so calm. Only sometimes if there are severe problems, my headache likes to recur. Yes, that's when I took pain medication from a psychiatrist. But it's rare. Doing meditation on a regular basis every day is really a panacea for the clarity of my mind and mind."

The husband agreed. "See you're getting older too, There. Your attitude and actions are getting wiser. I'm so grateful you finally got peace."

The couple looked at each other. Jonathan seemed sincerely smiling at his wife. But Theresa could feel that the smile was more about friendship than a man's love for the opposite sex.

Patience, There. Patience.., her mind calms itself. Just a little more of your goal will be achieved. Slow but sure....

Suddenly we heard the sound of stomach rumbling. Jonathan laughed loudly while patting the flattened midsection. "Well, you can't wait to eat the delicious food that our special guest brings," joked to his stomach.

Theresia chuckled amusedly. He immediately said, "I wash my hands first, Mas. Keep opening those packs. Today we're having your favorite fried noodle and seafood mix party. I guess you haven't eaten that for a long time because the restaurant's location is far from here."

Suddenly his words stopped. The man felt uncomfortable continuing. Actually, he never went to the seafood restaurant again since he left Theresia's house.

"Then you stay in this apartment..," replied the wife diluted the atmosphere. She smiled so sweetly. "Udah, ah. I'm hungry too. Just wash your hands."

Jonathan watched as his wife cleaned her hands at the kitchen sink. The departure of Papa and Aunt Mila really brought a significant development to There's personality, her inner being pleased. He is more attentive to others now. Even on his own birthday There even bought a seafood menu that is not his favorite.

Fortunately, I had bought his favorite cheese cake, the man was grateful in his heart. At least there is a dish that is popular There on his birthday besides fried noodles.

After washing her hands, Theresa began to open the packages she carried and move the contents on the large bowls Jonathan had provided on the table.

After everything was arranged sweetly, Jonathan approached her and said, "Let's blow the candle first, There. Let me take a picture for a memento."

The wife nodded. He noticed that the man was lighting a match to light a thirty-four-figure candle on top of a cheese cake. "Make a wish used to blow out candles" Jonathan said.

Theresia nodded. He closed his eyes. Thank you for this wonderful birthday, Lord. Please unite me with my husband tonight. Amen, his prayer in heart.

Jonathan, who felt no premonition, calmly photographed his wife as she prayed, blew out a candle, and smiled at her camera phone.

"Jon's mom has tongsis?" ask Theresa suddenly.

Her husband nodded. "There was. But rarely used," he answered flatly. I used to wear it to take pictures with Karin, he lamented in his heart. But I destroyed all the pictures so I could forget the woman completely.

"We're both photos, yuk," asked Theresia with a beaming face. "Make mementos."

Jonathan who did not mind nodded in agreement. He then went into his bedroom. Soon a long white stick that is useful for photographing yourself from a distance away was already in his hands.

The two human children who once loved each other then sat side by side with a big smile. Theresia tried to resist the urge of her heart to kiss the cheek of the husband so close to his face.

Patience, There. Patience, he said back in his heart. Be ordinary. Don't raise your suspicion, Jon. Otherwise, your plan could fail.

"Cheese!" jonathan gave a warning. The man photographed several times himself and his wife who was smiling widely. Theresia was satisfied. Thank you, Lord, his mind is full of joy. Tonight will be a historic moment of reuniting myself with my beloved husband.
