Wound Healing Husband

Epis. 72 Dimples

Donny is chairing a meeting on Oliver Group's new project. The graphic design section is showing photographs of some experts hand-drawn images as their project building scheme.

His eyes were fixed on the big screen in front of him but his heart was agitated at the thought of his wife, for some reason since his mind was only on his wife, explanations from his subordinates did not enter his head at all.

His index finger on tap-tap on the table with his back resting on the chair looks serious with his mind “We postpone the meeting”, Donny suddenly stood up startling everyone in the room. Sensitive Al coded female secretary Donny to rearrange today's meeting schedule.

“Where is Mia Al?” he asked as he continued to rush.

“Mrs is in Megah Mall, Tuan. Leo with the Madam has now entered Mall”. Al replied according to the report he got from the bodyguard who always followed Mia.

“We're there!”.

“Good, Tuan”. Al drove his car quickly after seeing Donny's unease. Moreover, they knew that the men from his past had already returned to this land.

The car had stopped in front of the main door of Megah Mall, Donny had even gone out before Al got off and opened the door for him. Donny kept going with wide strides in search of his wife.

He found it, he saw his wife like someone who was hypnotized to be still and motionless. Donny ran to him.

“Mia, you did nothing”, her soul seemed to re-enter her body upon hearing the soothing voice of her heart. She stared at her husband's black bead then hugged her husband tightly and kissed deeply the scent of his body. Successfully, he was able to regain control of himself.

“Mas, I want to go home”. Donny nodded, he grabbed his wife by the shoulder and pulled her out of the Mall.

Donny continues to hug her all the way back home, Mia trying to hold back the tears that began to soak her eyes.

Why did he have to meet her again after he had already managed to forget about her. Why did the feeling he had buried deeply again burst out and disturbed his heart.

After seeing her earlier Mia realized one thing, the man had never left her heart. He was always in his place, in his deepest heart.

Then how did Donny stand in his heart. Mia tightened her arms at the man who was also hugging her, she was sure she loved her husband now. A love that was even greater than the one he had given the man before.

That man, Mas Dimas. The figure that came was like an angel without wings when he was so sad to lose his mother. He stretched out his right hand, while his left hand held a giant lollipop. The little Mia who was crying over her mother's grave noticed the boy and reached for the outstretched hand in front of him.

From that moment little Mia began to forget her sadness, Dimas always comforted her in all sorts of ways. Until he became a teenager and began to grow the seeds of love in his heart.

Dimas who had long been in love with the little girl he looked after like a princess felt very happy when he found out Mia not only considered him like a big brother. They began to form relationships like men and women when Mia was in ninth grade.

Mia's father did not object to her daughter's relationship with Dimas even though Dimas had already entered university. He thinks Dimas is a good and loving man.

Dimas routinely drove and picked her up to school, helped her with her schoolwork, sometimes also cooking for her. Dimas loved her very much, he started to love her ever since he knew nothing about love and as he understood about love he loved the girl even more. 

Until he was eighteen, nothing had changed with his relationship with Dimas, the man showed more and more affection for him.

Then Dimas made a mistake by coming to a birthday party of his schoolmate who was also studying at the same University as him. A woman who had long liked him planned a sneaky thing to set him up and he succeeded.

And something happened that was beyond his plans that were far from his future plans with Mia. The woman is pregnant.  The woman and her family are holding her answer. Dimas refuses to take responsibility because he feels trapped, he wants to prove that everything has been arranged by Monika, a woman who continues to cry because she feels victimized.

Monika's family threatens to hurt Dad, his mother and Mia if Dimas does not want to be responsible. Dimas who initially refused was finally forced to agree because their threat was not kidding.

Her heart is so hurt considering that she has already hurt the girl she loves, she applied for the conditions to move abroad and also she wants to wait for Mia's graduation day. He couldn't possibly leave his little girl studying alone, the little girl couldn't do anything without him.

Eight years he looked after her, filled her days with love and affection, promising her to be with him all her life. But he broke his own promise and left the girl, giving her a very deep wound.

Donny had his wife come into the room, he saw that his wife was very fragile at this time. He must have seen that man earlier, Donny whispered in his heart.

Her tears began to fall, everything she had forgotten came back and revolved around her head. How she cried every day, how she started living her life after the two most loved men left her.

Mia sobbed, Donny hugged his wife who was sitting on the bed with her legs bent.

Her dad. Seeing Dimas reminded him of his father.

“If I were not too fragile, if I could have been stronger. Maybe Dad is still in the world today”. He said in between his sobs.

Seeing his daughter's grief that never subsided, his father took the initiative to take him on vacation out of town. Mia agreed, they then left together. While on the way, suddenly there was a car from the opposite direction that lost control, his father tried to avoid it but instead was hit from behind by a truck.  His father's car was thrown and overturned. 

“I saw Dad covered in blood, he crawled wanting to hold my hand”, his words stopped by increasingly heavy cries, “But Dad already closed his eyes before grabbing my hand”.

That day he lost his father, he couldn't even attend his funeral. Mia's in a coma in the hospital. When he regained consciousness, he was like a madman looking for his father.

His father's blood-soaked shadow made him lose control even more, he continued to hurt himself because he felt he was the cause of his father's death.

Donny still hugged her, hearing her story in his sobs. He knew about the accident, but he didn't know the story behind the accident. Donny tightened his embrace, there was nothing he could do but hug his wife.

The power he had could not make his wife stop crying, no he did not even want to tell her to stop crying. Maybe that way his heart can be a little relieved.

Mia wiped her cheeks wet with tears. “Mas, I miss Dad, I'm going to Bandung”. Said it with a hoarse voice.

Donny helped her remove the remains of water still stuck to her cheeks. “We go to Bandung tomorrow”. Mia again inhaled deeply into the scent of her husband's body, like being a therapeutic scent for him. Her mind could calm down just by smelling her husband's scent.
