Why We Married?

Flower Without Petals

He did not hold me back, his face looked straight at the direction where I had last slapped him, not reflected on his face if he felt guilty for what he said or angry at my slap. Looking blankly like a nervous person when the full moon arrives.

I lifted up his face with both hands to distract him with my gaze, and now I realized that he had gone far away somewhere escaping his own pain over the territory of his thoughts that I had never understood.

"Why did you talk like that?" My insistence.

He didn't answer.

"Archie, what are you thinking?"

He hesitated and looked back at me in a piercing glare. A moment later he greeted both of my hands clinging to his face, then rubbed them lightly like sweeping dust then smiled strangely.

"Will you stay with the cave if one day the cave also can not survive you?" He spoke with a heavy voice that shook.

"What?"

"Did you think Ampe was there?" Added. I was too dumb, running out of words.

"Do you ever feel like a useless person but still try to save others!" I'm sure he's talking about himself, "just try it, you never met the cave, maybe now your life is not full of drama kek gini.."

"Hey!!" Cut me off, spontaneously he looked at me with a shocked look. "When have you been this disgusting?"

"Snubbing?" His forehead wiggled.

"Yes you are disgusting, but just yesterday you were chatting about what would be done for me, but now the words cliche soap operas you dare to say."

Long Archie was silent after hearing my words, but his grim face did not disappear.

"Here, cave!!" He did not continue his words.

I approached her face and I kissed her forehead. "Rest, I'll leave you alone." My word.

Before he said I was in the doorway and closed the door tightly.

"Mistress?"

I gasped, Hendri suddenly appeared in front of me while carrying a tray containing 2 servings of food complete with milk.

"Ah, you're Hendri!!"

"I brought you food for Mr and Mrs." Evidently.

"For now, I think we should just leave Archie alone!" My answer.

Hendri frowned at hearing me, maybe in his heart he had guessed the possibility.

Until finally Hendri suggested to call a counselor to deal with the mental health of his Master, and it was agreed by Archie with our efforts all of course. Hendri was even willing to break into the window of the room on the third floor to persuade the Master to eat. And I pretended to be insan and willing to not move for 4 hours in front of him so that my cover was not revealed. Until Dafa who is nolep and lazy motion was involved in persuading Archie by dancing octopus dance in the middle of the rice field to attract the attention of Archie.

"May I speak to you Lady Yuaga!" Said Dr. Edmund after coming out of Archie's room, the doctor who had always handled the psychic condition of us both.

I agreed and allowed him to talk.

"Have Mr. Yuaga had any quarrels in recent days, involving physical trauma, perhaps with Madam?" Ask critically.

"We had a fight, but only for a few moments and not too serious." I said, "but he had also fought with his sister before, and until now his sister had not even returned."

Doctor Edmund Mafhum, he looked at me seriously behind his thick glasses.

"They quarreled over something serious and angered her sister, and she even grabbed Archie by the neck to the point of being cornered." Obviously again.

"And Mr. Yuaga did not do any sign of resistance psychically or verbally!" Doctor Edmund.

"True, Archie even let it go, making me weird because Archie has not been the type of person who always succumbs to any circumstances."

"That's why Mr. Yuaga feels helpless because of his relentless nature." Doctor Edmund nodded like an old goat.

"Unempowered?"

"For example, like this, Madam!" Doctor Edmund was preparing to explain, "assuming the Madam had eaten a good meat stick at a restaurant, he said, Madam will be moved to visit him again and again and not interested in other restaurants that sell meat sticks because according to the Madam in that place is the most delicious, but one time coincidentally and accidentally Madam visited another restaurant that sold meat sticks that turned out to be better than the restaurant that often visited Madam!" I nodded enthusiastically, "in short, such a feeling generally has a sense of rejection at the beginning but is ended by a strong sense of truth, the taste of a tasty meat stick is the ultimate truth of the taste senses. Until here the madam understands what I mean?"

"I understand the doctor!" My answer.

"Sir Yuaga is a strong and perfect figure, no one doubts his leadership in the field of stocks, politics and socialization. But behind the perfect figure of man must be a weakness that is veiled," continued Dr. Edmund. "Although I did not get a detailed problem like what, clearly Mr. Yuaga has been made aware by force through physical complaints, like the taste of a delicious meat stick that can not be realized by human senses. His brother, Mr. Yuaga, made him aware of his weakness."

I was silent while propping up my chin. It's true that Archie has always succeeded in everything, even all his plans are successful without any disability, it's all because behind it there are talented people like Hendri and Sakurai, too, it is only natural that Archie feels beaten and blames himself after hearing Sakurai's anger until he is cornered.

"I suggest to see his sister Mr. Yuaga first, because when I listen to her statement, he only reacts strongly if I ask for the continuation of the conflict with his sister!"

"Doctor meant, first I had to persuade Sakurai to make peace!" My answer.

"That's what I mean Madam because the key to this problem may lie with Mr. Yuaga's sister."

***************

Until Dafa vomits for information on Sakurai's whereabouts, he sits for hours unshifted from his chair fiddling with satellite data and other supporting data, and mutters to himself mysteriously, he was willing to do all this because he was worried about the existence of his idol.

After almost 16 hours, it meant that he had been sitting there for half a day, with eyes sparkling with hope and also a disheveled face like he had been fighting with a cart, he reported that he finally found the existence of Sakurai who turned out to be meditating in a place that was not tracked by any satellite and its existence was difficult to find by any intel, he said, under the bridge. Dafa House.
