Wound Healing Husband

Epis. 74 Let go of the past

Two human children who have intertwined sweet stories in the past are sitting on a wooden bench located not far from the cemetery area. Several large trees around it protected them from the heat of the sun.

Silence, no one starts a conversation even though the heart is eager to let each other miss. Only the sound of the friction of the leaves swaying the wind was heard.

They sat next to each other at a distance not too far away, a wooden bench that was about a meter long there was only one there. One looked down, no one had opened their voices first. Even to ask the news of each.

“I just found out uncle died two years ago”. Finally the man started a conversation. Mia was still unmoved, still silent in silence.

“Do you live well?" the question he wanted to ask finally came out. Mia nodded but the man did not see her nod, he just looked straight ahead with his head occasionally lowered.

“Maaf”. Mia turned to look at the man beside her, she still recognized him well even though she only saw half of his face. Mia could see that the man's eyes were reddened, there was a clear liquid in his eye fertilizers.

“For what”. Mia asked in a half-mumbled voice.

“Because I didn't keep my promise to you, I'm sorry. For leaving you, I'm sorry” he looked up at the leaves swaying in the wind blowing on it and took a deep breath, holding back the clear crystal that had been wanting to spill.

“Because there is no time when you need me the most, I'm really sorry”. His voice trembled in accompaniment with clear droplets falling from his eyes. Mia saw those tears flowing slowly on her cheeks.

Eight years with her never once did Mia see her cry. Tears are taboo for her. Today she was crying, she was hurt too.

“You must be so desperate for me right now, I've made you so hurt”, his gaze still paraded forward. “I'm sorry”. He lowered his head to drop the clear grains directly onto the ground.

Mia's eyes reddened, there was tightness in her chest making it difficult to catch her breath. Then the clear circle flows slowly and then descends more and more rapidly. They cry in silence, looking down at each other.

Donny who had been watching them from afar began to approach. He'll take his wife away from there.

Mia looked up and saw that her husband was standing in front of her, without speaking again he picked Mia up and left the man. Mia turned around, she saw him still looking down there somehow making her feel pain in her chest.

He changed, the man was no longer Mas Dimasas. Seven years ago the man never took his eyes off her as they spoke, he always responded to whatever Mia said. Now he was different from being cold and keeping his distance with her.

‘What he is unhappy about, what he is never happy’ that question suddenly pops into his mind. Mia saw the same look as him when he reflected a few years ago. A face that shows sadness and despair.

The man also felt the same deep wounds, even though he caused them. She wanted Mia to know how she had lived her life all this time, how she had refrained from coming to look for her even though she missed her half-dead. She wanted to tell Mia, her little girl who had now grown into a beautiful woman.

He then lifted his head, looking at the luxury car that was carrying away the woman he loved until the car disappeared from his sight.

The car stopped at a fancy restaurant in Bandung. Mia only regains consciousness from her daydream when Donny opens the car door and reaches out the ladder.

“We eat first ya”. Her speech. Mia smiled and grabbed her husband's hand.

A variety of tantalizing food lying on the table, Mia looked at him tastefully. But she did not want to make her husband worry. He took a breath then started putting some type of side dish on his plate.

“Mas Donny want to eat which one?” Donny points to some kind and Mia takes it for her husband. At first Mia swallowed the food with a forced, but over time she started eating naturally as usual. Donny curled his lips, he felt happy his wife wanted to eat as usual when his mood was definitely not-good.

“I ate all?” she couldn't believe seeing empty plates on the table. Donny smelled a smile that already answered Mia's question. The woman held her stomach and felt a little tightness. It seemed like all of that food had indeed moved into his stomach.

A longer trip than usual because it coincided with the hour of office home, Mia wriggled and lifted her head from her husband's chest.

“We haven't arrived yet, Mas”. Mia saw on the left and right side many vehicles squeezing making the car carrying them move very slowly.

“Again jammed, you sleep aja again”. Donny pulls Mia's head slowly wanting to lean her against his chest, but Mia refuses. “Indeed Mas Donny is not sore I sandarin keep”.

Donny chuckles, “I am indeed where you lean”. The woman's face flushed in embarrassment, she immediately drowned her face in her husband's chest.

Donny stroked his head fondly, in his heart arose a thousand questions what happened to his wife, while leaving the funeral his face looks cloudy but now cloudy it looks like it disappeared from his face.

The sun had set and they had just arrived home. Fatigue is clearly on their faces, especially Leo as a driver.

Mia immediately threw herself on the bed as soon as she entered the room. For a moment his mind returned to the cold face of Dimas, the cold face that let out tears seemed very foreign to him.

Donny came out of the bathroom feeling fresher, Mia watching her husband. After sleeping together, Donny no longer wears a bathrobe, he more often uses a small towel wrapped around his waist.

The look in Mia's eyes did not move from her husband's body, she watched closely. The handsome face that always smiled warmly at her, the chest of the field that was comfortable when hugging her and the burly body that always gave her warmth.

Then what else is lacking, why does she still let the past tease her future with a husband who even left her lover for her sake. Mia stood up from the bed and hugged her husband.

“Thank you for today”. Her words did not release the embrace of her husband. Donny clasped his wife's waist to get her embrace deeper.

They broke down a hug, Donny cupped his wife's cheeks and kissed her lips gently. Mia removed her lips after feeling that the kiss was getting hotter.

“I haven't had a shower from morn”.

“We shower together later”.

"But Donny has taken a shower". Donny smiled smirked

"Bring Again" Donny put his lips together again, he frowned, kissed, smacked the lips.

He put his wife in bed, took off all his clothes one by one, “I miss you” he whispered making Mia shudder in horror. Then they returned to give each other warmth.

Right, like this. Let the past remain in the past. His future is now with the man who is touching his body gently and affectionately.
