The sprinkling of flowers on three clean and neat tombs has become a routine every week by a couple who are praying fervently.
"Mik, you know what? Nada was married to Samuel. Although we tried to separate the two, but fate made them finally unite," Steve said as he touched the name of the brother printed on the black ceramic.
"I'm sorry I can't be a good brother to you. I will never stop apologizing to you for what I did, you must part with Nada" she continued with a trembling shoulder, while Yuni had been crying since.
They moved to the tomb next to him. A beautiful figure who must be forced away from the world due to the selfishness of his own family. It all started with the rejection of his marriage to Mikael who was just a farmer. The man came boldly to propose to Ayunda, a beautiful woman born into a wealthy family.
Ayunda had to give up the family's estate in order to stay with Mikael, a very kind and responsible man. Although they eventually married and lived mediocre, but both felt great happiness even though only for a moment because of heart disease that Ayunda suffered.
Mikael who was still working as a farmer had no more money to treat his wife. Ayunda's family did not want to help until the woman's struggle had to end after she tried hard to give birth to her daughter to the world.
"Well, we take good care of your daughter. She's as pretty as you are and her stubbornness is down from you too. We even had trouble controlling him. Until whenever you're my best friend. Thank you and please take care of Andre for us" Yuni said.
Steve instantly pulled the crying Yuni. The burial area was very quiet because it was in a special place provided by the Duke. The tombs, which were originally separate, have now come together overcrowded the tragic story. Coupled with a small tomb that was there increasingly makes both of them unable to carry this heavy burden.
"Hi, son," said Steve who had been sitting in the small tomb.
"How are you, hem? Papa misses you so much. Look at your sister Nada. She's married to your enemy."
Steve smiled considering the past of his son who was very unhappy with Samuel because he always took the attention of Nada from Andre. The two boys were always quarreling and making a dizzy little Tone seven around.
"You're a very good boy, son. Forgive me papa and mama can't take good care of you," Yuni continued with a very tight chest.
His only child was very fond of Nada to be willing to change his life so that his cousin survive. Andre, a boy who is very possessive towards Nada. What happens if Nada finds out about Andre? Can he accept all this?
"You're our angel, baby."
.........
Tone was fixated in front of the toilet mirror after he had hurriedly left the number 4 table because his head suddenly felt very sick.
"Yund? Isn't that the name on the back of that dull photo?" his murmur did not realize a pair of eyes had been monitoring him from the front door there.
Tone vividly remembers the photo of a couple of brides that he found years ago tucked between old books in a warehouse. The photo was so blurry that the faces of both of them were indistinct. At first, Nada thought it was Steve and Yuni, but she was silenced after turning the photo upside down.
There was a love poem written by the groom himself for his wife.
...❤❤❤...
...Wife Ayunda...
...You are such a bright light that you can make me find my way home...
...You made my life whole with your sincere love...
...You like the wind of heaven make me truly happy...
...You are the only one and mine forever...
...❤❤❤...
The tone always shed tears every time it read word by word that faded slightly. As of now, her tears have shed. His heart ached with the turmoil of longing who knows for whom.
Tone tried to eliminate the complex taste that had burst into his heart. He hit his chest slowly, but the tightness made his legs wobbly, forcing the man who noticed him to run straight in to calm himself.
The crying tone vented everything on the chest of the field that had always been there for him. Without Nada seeing, she knew that the one who hugged her tightly was her husband.
"Sstttt ...."
Samuel patted the fragile back of Nada trying to tell her he would never leave Nada under any circumstances.
"cry. There I will always wipe your tears."
The heart-wrenching cry was heard so much that Leo who was standing at the door was crying. He knew the way of life was not easy. There was already too much sweat, tears, and blood that the woman had sacrificed for the sake of a happy word.
"Why does this hurt so much, baby?" tanya Nada while pointing at her chest.
"Everyone has felt pain. It depends only on yourself, whether you can survive the pain or not. I know you're strong. Steady, hem?" samuel said softly.
He took off his Tone glasses and wiped the tears lovingly. The two looked at each other closely with Samuel who slowly kissed the vibrating lips that delivered a warm feeling into the heart of Tone that was not necessarily direction.
The kiss is without movement at all until it succeeds in igniting a greater sense of love itself, which is sacrifice.
Sacrifice is when we realize that the importance of love in adulthood. Understand that the center of everything is the happiness of the person we love. Understand that our partner needs us more than anything else.
"I love you."
Samuel and Nada said the sacred words together. Both of them smiled with gazes that showed all the contents of each of them's hearts.
This man always stood in all directions for her until Nada managed to rediscover her passion for changing the future which slowly began to unravel the past.
