The tiara who was packing several times looked at the mobile phone, which she placed on the mattress. Not usually Prabu has not contacted, until this session. Last time, the man sent a message this morning, then nothing at all.
Then, he sighed deeply, and tried to expel the prejudice. Can't be, suspicious, because the one he loves is not an ordinary man. The company is big, and very busy. Should have been, he was grateful Prabu was very attentive lately, in the midst of busyness that rarely even came home.
Tiara pulled the zipper of the bag, then patted it slowly, making sure no important items were left behind. He decided to return by night bus, and will arrive in Jakarta tomorrow before morning. Everything was planned carefully. The night he slept during the trip, then the morning can go straight to work.
After everything was done, Tiara sat down cross-legged, sweeping her gaze around the room. This was his room, which Alia now occupied. Not spacious, only measuring 3x3 meters, and contains a small bed, along with an old wooden cabinet that peels the paint. A simple place, which he missed so much while in the capital.
As he was about to move, Ninih came in, and sat down in the corner of the bed. So Tiara left the room, and sat back on the floor, not far from her mother's feet.
“It's done?” Ninih looked towards the Tiara bag, which was located on the side of the door.
The look in his eyes radiated sadness, as if unwilling to let go of the Eldest. It always was, every time Tiara would return to the city. Either when his daughter was in college, especially now, when the girl had to fight for her recovery.
Tiara nodded, and smiled. “As soon as I get permission, I'll definitely go home again, Mom. You don't have to think too much, yes.”
At the end of the sentence, Tiara inched forward, and grabbed her mother's fingers. He then concentrated into the nutmeg in the lap of the mother. “Whatever it is, mom should stay happy. I have to think of all the fun things.”
“Tiara ...” Nineg's voice sounded trembling. “How could ib—“
“Bu, I fight for Mom. If I am well received in that rich family, nothing else and not because of Mother's prayer as well. So, I must be happy, so that our struggle is not in vain, Bu.” Tiara felt her heart so full now. He wanted to cry, but he could bear it as much as he could. His mother cannot see sadness, no matter how small.
Ninih wiped the corner of her watery eyes, then gently rubbed her daughter's head. However Tiara tried to be okay, but he knew very well if the struggle to collect rupiah was not easy at all. Moreover, the nominal sent by Tiara so far is not a small amount. Not to mention, the gift of the necklace he received, as well as the gold ring for Alia.
“I was well received there, Mom. I'm fine too. You can see my new room, ‘kan? I even have a tub to soak in, like in those movies!” Again, Tiara assured her mother.
“Tiara ...”
“Mother everything for me. Mother's healing, Alia's education is my goal now. It's okay if the scholarship is gone now. But, I can take care of it again later, Mom.”
In the end, Ninih nodded, and smiled. Tiara got up, and hugged her mother with shahdu. Deep down, he did not want to leave the house, and wanted to spend the day caring for his mother. But what do you want to say? He couldn't have done it. He still has to fight for many things, including preparing for the tuition fee for Alia who is still collected a little.

Susi swept a glance around. The room he was in now had not changed at all, since the last time he left. In fact, the hood is still located on the table, even though the dishes he prepared at that time have been cleaned.
Luci closed, as Prabu grabbed him from behind. It felt as if the man was resting his chin on his shoulder, having landed a few kisses there. If only he had really come back, of course he wouldn't have been this sad. If he really came to give up longing and love, maybe his heart would not be this broken, when Prabu treated him this softly. Even after so many years, the man had not changed in the slightest.
“You still keep all this?” tanya Lusi lirih's. He desperately guarded, so that his cries would no longer spill this time.
“Only in this way, I have not lost the woman I love. If there's any other way to assume you're staying here, can you tell me?” Prabu kissed Lusi's shoulder once again.
Luci closed, feeling a rumble in the chest. I want him to tell Prabu everything. How during these two years he never ceases to experience torture from Leana. How long he sometimes suffered abuse from the bodyguards hired by the vile woman.
Given the pain he experienced in a row, Lusi removed the Prabu hold on his waist. Loved so deeply, he felt unworthy again. He stepped up, not turning around to Prabu who was still standing in his original place. Heading to the room, again wanted Lusi to shed tears.
The last night dress she wore was still on the side of the bed, witness how sweet she spent the night with Prabu. Much love between them, until finally must be separated because of the same taste. Prabu's love for her, which makes Leana do all the vile things for dozens of full moons.
Luci picked up the satin dress, and held it to his chest. He could no longer hold back, so that his cries would not break. It hurts, imagining the palace he built first is now destroyed unceremoniously. As for knitting all of that back together, there was nothing left.
Prabu approached, and pulled Lusi into his lap. There is water falling on the cheeks of a beloved woman, without saying. He gave as much opportunity as possible for Lusi to spill all his feelings. He did not ask, and chose to wait for what Lusi would say. Including the reason for disappearing without news, also the fruit of love in the content of Luci at that time.
Given if there was ever a life in the stomach of Lusi, Prabu rubbed a flat stomach, where his hands had been coiled since. Then, he heard Lusi's cries subside, and the woman raised her face.
“Sorry, because I didn't foam guarding it. Sorry for ...” Lusi paused the sentence, when he saw Prabu put a finger on his lips while shaking his head.
However, he understood that Prabu wanted to ask about their baby, since he first met. The story lies he had prepared, if Prabu asked. Because, it is impossible for him to tell a story if Leana has forced him to chug various pills, so that the baby he conceived is gone.
In fact, given the incident he had to bleed for days, making his heart ache. Not only physical pain, but the loss of the baby he desperately craved was excruciating, and made him want to die. Worse, the drugs crammed Leana, making the possibility of having offspring again will be difficult.
“Still many opportunities. Your return, it's enough for me.” Prabu said softly, then grabbed the woman who was still sitting in his lap.
Everything between the two men is still the same. Either a taste in the chest, or concern for each other. Because the relationship between the two of them was already too deep. A heart that can never be touched.
