The Voice of the Husband

Granules

it was a cold rush into the room inhabited by two people. There was only silence that surrounded. No one is talking. Choosing silence and drifting in each other's minds.

After the fight, the two gave distance. Pillow bolsters become a barrier. Thick blanket to witness. How the atmosphere of the room changed in less than an hour.

Naren, knead his pulsating temple. His heart also throbbed. The shadows he had been afraid of happening all along. Bereft. He's not ready to lose again.

Nara, chose to hide everything tightly in a thick blanket. Locking lips as much as possible so as not to make a sound. Only tears speak.

Choosing to throw away his ego, Naren turned around. Look at the wife's shoulders going up and down. Sobbed. His heart was immediately tormented if he had to see that.

Without saying, he hugged his wife tightly. Swipe the arm gently.

Only a sound was heard. Not with words. Sounds plump. Echoes in the room that bears witness to everything that happened between them.

"Why? Why?" beside his sobs, Naren could hear the words of his wife. More precisely, the question.

Naren tightened his embrace. Choosing silence does not answer. This is a difficult question for him as well.

He just knew everything. Everything is blocked by the fog of speech that has become a charade all this time.

"Why are you lying?" Nara asked again. Still with the crystal grains flowing in the face. Droplet the surface of the pillow.

Naren. He didn't know anything all this time. He just believes the words he thinks are facts. But not with reality.

"You lied. Why are you doing this?"

"Bec... I beg you to terrorize me. I never lied. I just tell you what I hear. And I never know the facts." Naren answered honestly.

Nara shakes. It gets worse when you remember everything. He had been wrong all along. It turns out that what happened was exactly the opposite.

"Don't you ever want to know the truth? Just believe one word?"

Naren's burly hand flipped gently over Nara's body. The eyes of the two met for a moment. "Mama, he's a man I trust a lot in this world, Ra. My mom never lied. And this time, I never knew about it all." Naren cupped Nara's beautiful face, while giving an explanation.

"Did you know? Your brother suffered all this time. Until he had an illness and struggled only with his mother. Then where were you at that time?" Nara asked, pointing at Naren's chest.

Naren. It's unexpected, really. He never knew the true state of his half-brother. For all he knew, his father gave a good and decent life like him. Apparently not, it's all just a charade.

Brother suffered. He needs affection. To vent everything until he was convicted of having a disease.

Due to limited costs, her mother was willing to work in the Philippines to become ART. Until the point that will never be forgotten (between life and death), his mother agreed that if her child was fully healed, then she would marry her child to her master's child. The other one is Chesa.

All for the sake of expensive surgery and treatment costs. The expected healing was finally accomplished when all resigned. God gave the light of life to his struggling son.

"I'm sorry, Ra. I really don't know about any of that. Because at that very moment, I was in the toughest phase. Losing someone I love. Mother of my son. He's gone forever and he'll never come back." Nara looked at the handsome face that was now becoming sad.

Now, everyone opens up old wounds. Simultaneously. I don't know who will cover the wound. Both are injured.

There's nothing to blame. Time has passed. Without them knowing. Walk like water. It will never stop. Keep flowing. He's running whatever he's through.

"We are the ones who are destined to close each other's wounds. Encourage each other to keep moving forward. Breaking the waves together and arriving at the destination we had planned."

"I hope so. May God confirm what we have planned. Even if we don't know God's future plans."

Both docked. Scrape the distance made. Cuddle and embrace each other in a real embrace. Give each other warmth.

Hopefully in the future, everything will go as expected and planned.

"May we be doomed to always be together." a brief kiss landed on top of the head. The cover of the cold night. Together towards dreamland.
