The Untouched Heart

Chapter 114 - The Hardest Question

Mama immediately diverted Hadi's question by taking us all to the dining room. For now, Hendra and I are calm. But I knew that our son would ask that again later. We're only safe for a while.

Tired of the children's emotional leap since waking up early, I fell asleep on the sofa. I only have one perpetrator who must have moved me to my room. When I woke up, I was lying in my own bed. I glanced at the digital clock. It's five o'clock in the afternoon.

I heard the laughter of the children from the direction of the pool. Hendra also went swimming with them. Hadi and Dira called me to come play water with them, I refused. I didn't have the energy to go up to my room and change clothes.

“Minum. Fahri just tried a drink recipe that tastes fresh once.” My mother brought a glass closer to me. I gulped. Tasty.

“Sorry, I fell asleep. Are the kids troubling Papa and Mama?” I noticed they were playing ball-throwing with Hendra.

“My grandkids never trouble me.” Mama laughed happily. “Hendra confusion earlier. Hadi asked about your marriage again. This time I didn't help him and let him answer. Don't ask me what the answer is because I won't tell you.”

I was just sitting comfortably preparing to listen to that interesting story, Mama just stopped it. I put on a pouting face. “For what Mama says if Mama does not intend to tell everything from beginning to end?”

“Because I don't want you to cheat Hendra's answer. I'm sure Hadi will ask you. What's your response later, yes ...?” Mama looked at me meaningfully. Papa laughs.

Whether there is any event, Zach comes with Rasmi and Zeph before dinner time arrives. The kids are happy to see their cousins. We sat together in the living room while having a casual conversation. Mama deliberately put me and Hendra sitting side by side.

We were chatting when Dira suddenly cried. Hendra approached, so I let him handle it. They're fighting over toys. Dira's habit is that. Always wanted what her brother held. When she did not get what she wanted, she cried and hoped that way, her brother would give in.

At exactly seven o'clock in the evening, Yuyun or Abdi had not yet come to tell about dinner. I beg you to get out of the room. It turned out that there was one immature menu because Hendra asked for it a while after they started cooking.

“Ara? The name of Kak Hendra's puppy is named Ara?” tease Zach who just came out of the toilet.

“You're silent. I'm dizzy and don't want you to add to my problems.” I walked back to the room where our family was.

“Pusing? What's the problem, brother? Story to me.” Zach looks worried.

“No problem whatsoever. You have seen for yourself that everyone is happy.” I said annoyed. Zach grabbed my hand, then took me into my special room. “What's up?”

“What Hadi said is true? Brother and Brother Hendra will refer?” he half whispered.

“Refer? No. gabe. We didn't discuss that at all. Maybe you heard it wrong. Where did my son hear the word reference anyway?” As I recall, I never mentioned that word.

“So, Brother and Sister Hendra have no plans to marry again?” tanyanya. “Then why does Brother Hendra stay here with you? Isn't Big Brother worried about what people say later?”

“I told you, I'm dizzy. You added to my mind.” I intended to get out of the room, but Zach held my hand. “What else is it?”

“Do you two have a problem I don't know about?” zach asked, this time in a serious tone. I frowned at me. “Silver loves her, what scares Big Brother forward to express Big Brother's feelings to her?” Ah, yes!

“What's up? Why is Brother acting so strangely like this?” ask Zach suspiciously.

“I have a question for you about men.” I looked around us again even though I knew there were only the two of us in the room.

“Can be fast, no, Brother? I can die curious,” said Zach impatiently.

“Sabarlah. This is not an easy question.” I growled slowly. Zach's waiting. “What-is a man, uh, I mean. Well, why is it so hard.” I took a deep breath. “You have no problem, ‘kan, sleep together Official? I mean ...”

“So I want to ask you about my experience in bed with my wife?” He rounded his eyes. I immediately covered her mouth with my hand.

“Not. You can slow down a little, no, when you talk? You make me even more nervous.” I look around me.

He distanced himself and brushed my hand away. “Then so quickly say. I told you, I can't hold back my curiosity.”

“A-what makes a man stop when almost united with his wife?” ask me in one breath. Zach looked at me for a moment. I sighed, then sighed softly calming down. That's the hardest question I've ever asked in my entire life.

“What's Brother talking about Brother Hendra?” ask Zach. I'm nodding. “You guys just ... and he suddenly stopped?” I nodded back. “That's a normal thing.”

“What do you mean by normal?” many confused.

“Before I answer it, what happened so that Brother Hendra could do it and Sister contains Dira?” ask again.

“She was drunk,” I replied slowly. Zach gave a reaction as if to say, now I understand! I know that my sister always held all my secrets well. So, I don't need to tell him that this is a secret. He would not say it to anyone even to his wife.

“Kak Hendra has never allowed any man to touch Brother. Of course except me, Papa, and Om Adhyana. Then when Brother gave himself to Aldo, it became his biggest mistake. The shadow you're with must be playing around in his head. That's normal, brother. I would have been so too had my wife betrayed me.”

“You mean, when we were making love, he wasn't looking at me with him, but I was with Aldo?” tanyaku.

“No. You stay together but Aldo becomes the third. He's like a ghost who's not with you physically, but is in Hendra's mind.” Zach took a long breath. “But that was just my guess. Who knows the real reason is Hendra himself. I know this reason also because of stories from my friends who have taken care of divorce cases.”

“Then how should I help him so that he is not overshadowed by Aldo again?” askaku. Zach brought his face closer.

“Say, I love you. Beres,” says Zach relaxed. “Why does Brother see me like that? I'm talking from the male side. The word love of a loved woman is the most efficacious remedy for a man's heartache as severe as anything.”

“I'm sure this is Hendra's order. I will never declare love first. I would do anything so we could get back together, but not with that one.” I said seriously.

“Why not? Are you afraid you will be humbled if you declare love first? While that might be the only way to restore your relationship?”
