"Yes Ar. What's up?" Greeting voice from across the connection via mobile phone.
"Jamm, my Mommy just had an accident."
"What's? How come?" Jammed cuts Archie's words before the man finishes them.
"Listen first. I don't know for sure either, but there's something strange. Auryn said the car was headed towards him, but Mommy saved my wife. If this was a regular accident, surely the person would not have escaped. It's so awkward Jamm." Archie explained with a feeling of uncertainty.
"Relax Ar, tell me where the accident was. I'll get that guy even if he hides in the ant hole."
"On xxxxx, I expect you Jamm."
"certain. Then how is Auntie doing now?" Something Jammed had to ask, because Celo was like his own mother to him.
"Not good, Mommy's in a coma now." Archie's voice was heavy, he was holding back from crying at this moment.
"I promise, whoever it is I'll make sure he gets a painful payment." Jammed can feel the sadness that his best friend experienced.
"All right, thank you. Ah, one more thing, maybe I'll go somewhere sometime in the future. Please help to take care of my wife, for danger will always be in her sight." Pinta Archie's.
"Where? Are you gonna run from trouble again?" Jammed Cibir.
"Something. I have to make sure of my future with my little family. It won't be long, I'll be back to pick up my wife before she gives birth." Obviously Archie.
"alright. I thought you'd run again." Jammed just tried to entertain a little friend who has contributed a lot in his life.
"Heh. No, thank you Jamm I expect a lot from you." Archie said sincerely.
"certain." Their calls are cut off. Archie returns to his car to return to his small home, knowing that his wife is there.
^^^^
Archie arrived at their home late at night. He was welcomed by Bi Myla, not his wife. Archie realized, he should not have expected Auryn to welcome him because his mistake was too fatal to the woman.
"Where's Auryn Bi?"
"Miss in the master's room, is asleep. Fatigue from crying too long." Sahut Bi Myla explains briefly about Auryn's condition.
"But he's okay isn't he?"
"Miss is fine, sir."
"alright. Thank you Bi, Ar wants to go up first."
Archie went up to their room, opened the door to explore the situation inside. His initial gaze turned towards the bed, where there was his sleeping wife curled up.
With a slow movement, he removed the jacket and placed it on a nearby sofa. Still in a slow motion, the man stepped closer to the bed. He sat next to his wife, Auryn.
"I'm sorry, I know you won't believe my apology. Really, I don't deserve you, I'm too cowardly for you to back up. I'm sorry, I'm sorry son." A drop of tears fell on his eyes.
After that, Archie went from there to get into the bathroom. This whole day waiting for his mother in the hospital, his body felt tired and sticky. Soaking with warm water for a while, he felt could reduce his fatigue.
^^^^
On the other hand, Auryn who was disturbed when Archie sat on the bed. Choosing to pretend to be asleep, the woman wanted to know what her husband was going to say.
"I know Ar, I know you're doing it all because there's a reason. But why don't you be honest? When will our relationship continue like this?" In his silent sobbing, he was determined inwardly to correct all their misunderstandings tonight.
"Here," Auryn offered the clothes, not forgetting that she was smiling warmly for her husband.
"Thank you." Archie also returned his wife's smile with no less warm.
^^^^
"Ar, is there still a chance for our relationship?" At this time, the couple was sitting face to face on their bed.
"I'm sorry." Archie grabs his wife's hand to hold it tightly, as if afraid it will come off.
"I also apologize on behalf of my mother. I'm sorry for all the wrongs my mother has done to your family. I,- I didn't expect Mom to be able to do that in her past." Auryn's sad face.
"Let it pass, it's part of our parents' past. We as children should not interfere." Archie Imbuh.
"But why do you seem to stay away from me when you find out about my mother's past?" Auryn wanted to know the reason behind it all.
"Credicate or not. Aunt threatened me. Honestly, I was disappointed at first." Honestly Archie, can be seen from the look in his eyes.
"Why did Aunt threaten you?" Had no other choice, Archie had to tell it. He must learn to be honest and open to his wife, that is the way to keep their household intact.
Flashbacks
"Ar, leave him. She's a bad woman just like her mother, she doesn't deserve you and into our family." Persuade Chris.
"Worth it or not, Ar decides Bi. It's Ar's household, and Ar knows how Auryn is." Archie refused his aunt's orders.
"Leave him or Aunt tell this to your Daddy! You know what your Daddy can do to someone who's hurt his family. And that goes for your wife." Chris smiled cunningly.
"Ar is so unsure, if Auryn's mother is like that. Is this just Aunt's book?" Terka Archie cornered her Aunt.
"Huh. You think, Auntie's that cute? Dwngar Ar, leave him or you can prove what Auntie said about telling your Daddy."
Flashback off
"I'm sorry." The man's eyes were already reddened ready to shed tears at any moment. Some time later, Archie more often shows emotions often sometimes he cried.
"Is that why you don't like my pregnancy? Then you went to Japan without telling me?" Archie answered only in a nod.
"I'm afraid Auntie will hurt you, so we're better off at a distance and time apart than I'm gonna have to part forever with you guys." Archie's words, successfully made Auryn cuddle with him.
"I'm sorry Ar." Lirih Auryn interrupted her crying.
"Don't love, I'm the one who should be apologizing to you."
"Then why were you so mad when I had lunch with Aldric that day?" Auryn looked up at her face in search of answers.
"That's because I don't like you being with other men, especially when our relationship is strained. I'm afraid you'll leave me, because I love you." Not wanting to be cheated, Archie admitted his feelings first.
"W-what?" Auryn made sure that he did not hear wrong.
"I love you my wife, the mother of my son." Repeat Archie again.
"I love you too Ar, very." Archie did not intend to tempt his wife because it would interfere with their important moment.
