The Shadow Wife

Chapter 20 - Time and Love

Eventually, Binar and Dion spent the night talking to each other. But sometimes they look at each other and the rest just stare at the ceiling. Binar shared more stories about the twins with Dion.

"I'm sorry if I have to talk like this, sister."

"Speak about what, Bin?"

"Silver should not pay attention to me, the condition of the house or any other small thing. But no matter how busy you are out there, you often communicate with Devina and Disya from heart to heart and take time for a trip,"

"So, you don't want to walk with me and the kids?"

"It's not so, brother. They have often traveled with me either to the park near the house, mall or other entertainment places in Bandung. I know my brother is busy developing a retail business and plans to penetrate foreign markets. So often leave the three of us at home to go out of town or abroad. A little advice from me, never forget the time with the twins so that they do not feel like losing their father figure. Not everything can be judged by material alone even though the material is very important. But there are things that cannot be replaced also by material" said Binar.

"What's that?" ask Dion.

A heavy sigh slid from Binar's lips.

"Time and love. Those are two things that cannot be judged by any material that we have. Because the time that has been missed can never be replayed. And love also comes from the purity of the heart so that it can never be forced or controlled where it will be anchored. If those two things just pass from our lives then the moment of new loss will feel that we've wasted time and wasted the love that exists,"

"Children need time and love from sister. During this time they rarely protest because they try to understand the condition of his father. But the age of the twins is increasing, of course our attention should be more extra on them. Because when we enter into their world and feel the growth and development of children from childhood to adulthood and spend time together, it is a happiness in itself that will surely be the moment that you will miss when the children are old, adults and then they get married."

"If the children grow up and get married, will we stay together like this Bin?

Degs...

"Only God knows the nature of destiny over the age of man, his sustenance and his soul mate. Our job is only to try and pray as best we can and make the most of the time" said Binar.

After that Binar also told Dion that he was sleepy and soon regular breathing was heard. Binar seemed to have fallen asleep. But Dion still did not close his eyes.

After an hour of sleep, Dion's fingers corrected the hair that partially covered his wife's face.

"I'm sorry, Bin. May I be a good father to your children and a good husband to you" said Dion.

Not long after Dion was sleepy and closed his eyes. And the eyelids of the light of the eye of the light are open.

Yes, Binar has not been asleep in his sleep. But he also could not express what he felt to Dion. Her lips were twisted and she had promised Dion from the beginning of their marriage that she would never engage the heart and love in them.

But he is not a robot or a statue. Three years together under the same roof and there are two children whom he loves with all his heart. Surely love comes into his heart without his command. Love is for Dion, her husband.

He looked at the face of Dion who seemed to have been in a dreamland.

"Good night Brother, I love you. May dreams and good health be with you wherever you are. Forgive me if I can't be the perfect wife for you yet" Inner Binar.

Seriate...
