Wife On Paper

Chapter 234

"Merra's? Honey, it's 6 o'clock, you know. That feeling you're awake, how are you going to sleep again?" Ara went into her daughter's room. The curtains were already open, but the little girl was curled up on the bed, with her entire body covered in a blanket.

"You sick, honey?" Ara opened the blanket that covered the small body, then stretched out her hand and stuck it on Merra's forehead.

Ordinary, a little warm probably because his body was wrapped in a blanket. But Merra cannot be sick, Ara said in her heart.

The little girl shook her head while looking at the mother with a sad look. "Ma. Can ya, Merra not come in? Just this, "please ask the little girl suddenly.

"Merra is not sick. Is Merra exhausted?" The little girl nodded. "Why not go to school? mama became confused later his permission to the Teacher's Mother. It's okay, but don't want to go to school" said Ara softly.

The woman put a pouting face on her little girl. He wanted to show if he did not forbid Merra who did not want to go to school. But the reason should not be clear.

From yesterday, Merra has looked different. After school, he kept a lot of himself in his room. But when called to dinner, Merra remained present and after that also still gathered with her two grandmothers. Eating from that Ara did not think too much about it, because her daughter was still cheerful. And today was enough to surprise him, with a sudden strike to school.

"Merra does not want to participate in the race at school ma," said the little girl pursed her lips.

Since when did Merra become like this. Usually he is most enthusiastic about the race. From childhood almost never absent following the race at school. Not because the mother forced him, but it was her own wish.

"What race, honey? Why not come?" Ara stroked the black mane of her little girl gently. "But if Merra is sick or tired, yes ..it's okay not to come." Ara confirmed her words but remained in a affectionate tone as usual.

"Merra is not sick nor is she tired!" The little girl suddenly turned and turned her back to her mother. "Merra has no father" he whispered.

Whatever sound Merra made, as the two of them were now close together, they were clearly caught in Ara's ears.

Again.

This conversation will continue to repeat. I don't know until when.

The woman took a long breath. It turned out that his actions in the past, resulted in grief for his little daughter. Really, Ara never thought of getting there.

"Merra has a father, dear," said Ara, holding herself back from tears. "Merra's father isn't here, but she loves Merra very much,"

The little girl still looked sad. He was silent when his mother comforted him.

"Enter school, yes. Later mama who accompanied Merra race." Ara tried to persuade the little girl.

"Can't, Ma. Yesterday it was the same Mama. Teacher yesterday said it must be the same father, because there will be a thank you for father." Merra pulled back the blanket to cover her head.

"Later mama's permission is the same Teacher, if Merra's father can not come because he has to work."

"Where do you work, Ma? Far away? Why never go home? Merra's friends whose father works out of town often come home. Even coming home always invites them to play. Why Merra's father couldn't. Don't you love Merra?"

"Stttt ... Baby can't talk like that. Daddy and Mama love Merra." Ara's breath suddenly suffocated to hear it. The woman immediately lurched down and hugged her little girl tightly. "Dad can't go home now. Someday I'll see us, baby," said Ara Pilu.

A promise that Ara might never be able to keep. Because it has become God's secret.

"Mama always prayed that time would come, son. Always was. We both miss your daddy" Ara said in her heart.

"Aren't you going to get married again?"

"No!"

"When do you wait for him? If he can come back, if not?"

"You want to get ahead of God, Ri," a man told his cousin, Ori.

"It's not. She was a very lucky woman, but she was not grateful. How could a sister who loved him so much even be made sick. And he chose the person he loved" Ori said.

The love story of his cousin brother that he knew from the beginning was indeed very dramatic and horror. Full of action and crying. Not like her straight self. How not straight, if until the age of now who is 30 years more he is still single. Straight right? And dark.

"Buruan search for a wife. Your profession is already promising, there is no way no one wants to be with you, right? Nurses, fellow doctors or the office part of the hospital where you practice. Lots of Ri choices. It seems you are too picky," the mysterious man looked meaningfully.

"All the cooks and the parking lot, forgot to call it?" sindir Ori who was careless because his cousin's brother was always so. He alone could not turn away from one woman, instead advising his single self.

"Ha ha ha ha...." The man looked up at Ori's grumbling expression.

"Why should I go first? It should be the brother who is looking for a wife first. My brother is much older than me. Don't wait until when?" cibir Ori does not want to lose. However, he has not been seen close to women, except Ara and all the orphanage residents. It was also because of his cousin's mission.

Thinking about Ara, Ori remembers Merra. The little girl, who was like her own child, loved her very much. Even Ori still remembers when the little girl was born, she was the one who made the adhan for the chubby baby who now grew up to be that beautiful little girl.

"Are you close to Ara?"

"Huh? Just ordinary. Our relationship is still as it used to be. Ara the one who is firm on the stand. He never even called me just to ask for help if he wasn't in need. Often I offer, even because the brothers always move quickly to watch him," said Ori while drinking the ice coffee in front of him.

"Did he ever talk to you about Adrian?" ask cousin Ori's curious sister.

"Not that detailed, brother. He had known her for a long time, and she was not that open to me. I just know that her husband's name is Adrian and they're separated instead of separated. I know the others from Brother."

"The atmosphere is unique and interesting. Adrian deserves to love him very much," said Ori's cousin added.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

"Sir."

The sweet girl raised her hand, smilingly greeting Adrian. Even he was willing to wait outside the room, standing near Vina's room.

Vina's eyes sparkled. He who was behind Adrian, even waved his hand to reply to someone he knew. Although not good friends, the two seem close. Like their friendship with Ara.

"What are you doing here?" adrian ketus. Though in fact he was shocked by the arrival of Mela who even gave no news.

Besides, why tell him. The one who was on good terms with the girl was his wife.

"I...." His face was facing Adrian but the girl's eyes glanced at the person behind him, the Eagle. The one who even threw away his face did not want to look at him at all.

"Come in.." adrian's edict later.

Mela follows them both from behind into Adrian's room. After a moment the girl greeted Vina.

"I want to see Ara, sir. Can I?" ask the sweet girl without any guilt. Mela finds out that Ara is leaving the house. From the moment Adrian contacted him to ask where his wife was.

I thought her best friend would come back. Where could his best friend be without Adrian. And he had not contacted each other for a long time.

Yesterday, after coming from outside the island he got an offer to work in the office of a mine in the interior of Africa. There the internet access is unstable, very remote and he never goes out of the condominium he lives in. That's why he lost contact with his best friend. And now, the sacrifice is sweet. A few months ago, he was transferred to the headquarters located in the capital, Pretoria.

"Come out, Lang," Adrian said. The eagle bowed respectfully then left the two of them.

"Ara is not here" said Adrian who now stands staring out the window of his room. He was just free to talk after the Eagle.

"Since the moment I called you and lost him, he hasn't come back yet" Adrian said. If he had just said loud and ketus, that sounds now more to someone who expresses his sadness.

"Master? That long....? It's even been five more years." Mela, who could not believe what she heard from Adrian's mouth, could not hold back her tears.

"I thought he was back. There's no way he can get away from you, sir. He loves you so much" said Mela doubted the truth Adrian told her.

Adrian could not answer anything, because in reality love alone was not enough to make his wife was to remain beside him. Moreover, he was the one who caused Ara to have to go and sacrifice for him.

"Master didn't get any news at all? Isn't Master a great man? Even you know who kidnapped me just by deploying the master's men." Mela said everything in her head. How could Ara not be found, she knew her best friend. The two of them had no one in this world except the people in the orphanage.

"Master's been looking for an orphanage?"

"Yes. I've even stayed there a few times."

"Staying?"

"Every day our wedding anniversary. I stayed there, slept in his room, occupied his bed" Adrian said, holding tightness in his chest which suddenly attacked.

"No way, sir,"

"It looks like Ara didn't want me to find it. That was the last message he left. And maybe God granted it. I can't find it anywhere. The last few months, I even hired my best friend's people to look for him in some nearby town.and the results are nil." Adrian looks messy, he's drawn back in his yearning.

"Even until yesterday when I was still in the interior I could not believe Ara could leave you, sir. I've never seen such great love in his eyes except for you. And even the days I knew him when he was with you, he always had a great time preparing for your birthday, even though you often took him out to dinner. He never remembers his own birthday, but if I ask about you, everything he's got out of his head." Mela's length revealed what she knew.

"You're making me more guilty Mel" Adrian said in his heart.

Where do I go, my step,

There's always a shadow, though,

I believe the meaning of conscience,

You'll never be replaced, though,

When the ocean you cross,

Do not hesitate to stay away,

I trust my little heart,

You won't turn away.

Even to the end of the world I will surely change,

Although the seven oceans must be waiting for me,

Because I'm sure you're just for me.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

"Come, honey, we're in," Ara held her little girl who seemed hesitant to step up.

The journey from home to school is usually only half an hour, the day being almost an hour.

That's because merra often suddenly stops. Then a worried look lingered in the little girl's eyes.

"We're too late, Ma. We just go home," said Merra who immediately turned to the car.

"Honey .. Mama has permission to the Teacher, Ma'am,

Merra's not too late. Because today is only filled with the race, so there is no word late." Ara squatted down in front of the little girl who was standing near the car door.

Merra's gaze was wrong. He was eager to enter there, and follow the competitions held today. But he was ashamed if he came with his mother while his friends with their father.

"That's see, there's still some coming," pointed Ara at a little girl in a ponytail the age of Merra, with a woman who Ara guessed was her mother.

The little girl turned her head, and looked towards Merra. "Merra, come on in with me. I'm late too." The little girl smiled, then pulled the mother's hand towards Merra.

"You're with your mama too, Bel?"

"No, he's my aunt. Mama and papa can't come" said Merra's friend, Abel, casually.

"I'm her aunt. Abel's parents were very busy so I took the place" said the woman who made Merra gawk.

Currently, he feels he is the most unlucky child because he cannot be with his father during the race. But there is still Abel, who may be more unlucky.

"Let's go in" said Merra directly holding Abel. "Come on Ma, I want to follow all the sheep!"

\=\=≠\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

Mela came out of the room of her best friend's husband. After a long time they like to reminisce about Ara best friend and wife who they love so much.

Most of Mela's childhood to adolescence was spent with her best friend. They live together in an orphanage until a family takes Ara to serve as their foster child.

The sweet girl looked over here. Looking for the figure of the Eagle that did not even see any trace of him at all. The hallway looks silent without humans.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Eh...." Mela was startled, then twisted her body. And he found the Eagle looming behind him staring seriously. "Master Adrian called you."

The eagle just blinked, to answer the message that Mela conveyed. His words were as valuable as the girl in front of him.

The eagle was about to leave when it felt its hand being pulled by Mela. He stopped and looked at their hands that were clinging to each other.

"sorry." Mela immediately let go of her hand. "Lang, can we still...." The girl looked at the Eagle expectantly.

"Married. And live well. You deserve to be happy." The eagle continued its steps.

"Even for a friendly?"

"There is no genuine friendship between a man and a woman."

"I'm just happy when I'm around you, Lang."

"You'll be happy with someone who loves you." A moment later, the Eagle rushed to open the door, entered Adrian's room and closed it again.

The door is like the heart of an eagle. The fort that the man deliberately built on his heart was too sturdy. Totally untouched by Mela.

Should Mela marry someone else? Even yesterday someone proposed to him, but he still wants to fight to get the heart of Adrian's assistant. The continuation? Or quit?

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

"Yee ... Mamma... Merra won," the little girl shouted loudly. Of the 10 competitions held by the school and he followed them all, Merra got 2 times champion one. He looks very happy.

Moreover, Ara, the woman breathed a little relieved to see that Merra was back cheerful. Really, the discussion about Adrian with Merra was the hardest thing for him. He had to reason with this to calm his little girl who had already begun to think critically.

Because in addition to calming Merra, she also had to calm herself, which was always carried away by the feeling of remembering her husband.

Merra ran to meet the mother who looked at her with a smile and spread out her hands.

He has just received 2 prizes from the result to become champion 1.

"Merra's great!" said Ara proud. The woman hugged her little girl.

"Merra darling Mama. Merra misses dad." Merra's sobbing was heard between her happy cries.
