Between Two Hearts
Attention

Tiara lay on the sofa. Ferdi was sitting near him. It seemed like the young man was exhausted from carrying her for quite a long time. Mother passed to the back, fetching water for them.

"Still mas," said Tiara with nads lirih. He smiled and took her hand.

"Whatever mas will do for you, dek." he said which made Tiara unwell.

Tiara let go of her hand.

"Sorry deck, I'm almost crazy for liking you so much" he continued, frustrating.

Tiara nodded slowly. "It's wrong, I've been somebody's wife. Please appreciate that" he said again in a weak tone.

Ferdi looked at him for a long time. I don't know what he's thinking.

Mom came back and gave the glass filled with water to Mas Ferdi and me.

"Thank you son, thankfully there is you." said the mother with teary eyes.

He just nodded and smiled, "Yes, Mom. We should help each other, right?" answer later.

"Assalamualaikum.." a greeting came from outside.

"Waalaikum salam" they answered simultaneously.

"Are you okay, son?" ask me full of worries. Jihopun's face looked anxious. He approached his wife and held her hand gently.

"What actually happened? why is it like this?" ask the father again.

Mom told me everything in detail. Mr. and Jiho just understand.

"Oh yes sir, ma'am, I'm sorry. Let the Tiara deck rest, do not forget to take the medicine according to the doctor's instructions," said Ferdi while reminding Tiara.

"Thank you, son." replied Father & Mother in unison.

Ferdi passed, "Wait, Fer.." intercept Jiho. Ferdi looked over for a while, then Jiho approached him. They both talked outside.

"Thank you for helping my wife." said Jiho.

"Yes, it should be" replied Ferdi.

"I also want to apologize for the other day."

Ferdi looked at his best friend. There was sincerity on his face. "Yes, I'm sorry for everything, too" Ferdi said, shaking his best friend's hand.

Jiho smiled, he welcomed Ferdi's helping hand and immediately hugged him.

There was a sense of relief between them, they finally made up. Jiho re-entered after Ferdi passed away. She smiles.

"Oh yeah, I went to the kitchen first... Mom's cooking again. You're hungry, aren't you?"

"Let me help, Mom. I take Tiara to the room first" Jiho said later.

Tiara smiled. Her husband is very understanding.

Jiho carried his wife with heart. Tiara only smiled as Jiho lifted her up. Heart's pounding.

"Why smile for yourself? Aren't you sick?" jiho asked while laying Tiara on the bed.

The question was answered with a bigger smile.

"Why the hell? Just be curious" asked Jiho again.

"It's okay, A. Thanks to ya."

"Yes... Yes, I went back first... Poor Mother."

"Wait, A."

He turned around. "Hmm what's up, baby?" tanyanya.

"Are you not jealous?"

"What kind of jealousy?"

Tiara saw the change in her face. "Mas Ferdi carried me home, aren't you jealous?"

"It's impossible to be jealous of him my dear, he's just helping you." Her answer made Tiara's heart a little relieved.

"Have I made up with him?"

"Yes, as you saw it."

"Isn't there a problem with you two?"

"Hmmm..."

Tiara smiled in response to his statement. "Thank you, A."

"Yes baby, you rest first... Aa to the back first," he continued again in an attentive tone.

Her night...

"This is taken by mouth the medicine." said Jiho while handing over the medicine plus warm water. Tiara took it and immediately swallowed the medicine.

Previously Jiho also fed him. And now he began to clean Tiara's wounds and treat them.

'Duh, my husband is very attentive huh.' Tiara said in her heart.

"Rapidly healed y dear." said Jiho, he kissed his wife's forehead gently.

He lay down beside Tiara. "Lusa Aa set out on her own..."

"Why A?"

"You're still sick... Aa has been off too long, how can Aa make a living on you? You are now my responsibility."

"I'll just come along,"

"Related?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"You don't want to rest here until you get well, then Aa'll pick you up?"

"I'm coming with Aa, we're married. It's hard to be happy that we have to go through together..."

"Well, sweetness..."

He kissed her forehead again, then my cheeks, then my lips. Tiara was getting used to that attitude. "Hope you'll be healthy soon, baby. Let's go together."

"As long as there's Aa who keeps my attention, I'll be healthy, quick,"

"Hahaha..."

"I'm serious about it!"

He chuckles again.

*I walk alone on the green grass. There's no one. Everything's quiet. I passed through the dark, shady trees, there was a passageway there, but suddenly my body was pulled by someone with big hands. Not someone, but rather like a huge creature. He gripped me firmly, I wriggled trying to break free. But I really can't. The scream got stronger, I felt short of breath. It didn't take long, my body was shackled by the chains. I won't be free again. "Please... toloooong...!" my voice sounds raucous. I wish someone would help me.

"Dec... Tiara.!"'s chat...!"

I heard the scream, I recognized the voice. That must be Ferdi's, right? Two people I knew very well. He's my husband and the other one is Ferdi.

"PLEase...!" I tried to scream back.

Mas Ferdi ran towards me, followed by my husband. They walked past the large rocks. They fall repeatedly.

Mas Ferdi first arrived where I was imprisoned. He tried to untie the chain.

Suddenly "Duugg!" L saw. He's my husband, he was hit by that big creature. With a single blow, he staggered and fell. Then his body was gripped by that big hand. For a moment my husband's body was bound by a chain. On his body full of wounds, he was unconscious.

"Typeaaak.... A! Aaaaaa..!" I'm still screaming like an infidelity person. Mas Ferdi grabbed me. "Sir, relax. Come on, we gotta get out of here!" hatch later. I didn't realize that the chain link had been removed from my body. Somehow he did it.

"No, mas! I have to help A Jiho! Aaaa!" I concluded that still saw my husband's body shackled helplessly.

Mas Ferdi pulled me and took me away from that horrible place. "Sorry deck, we don't have time to help your husband! Look at that big creature. Let's get out of here before it's too late." Her answer made my chest even more crowded.

"Typeaaak.... Aaa.... Aaaaaa!" I was still yelling at him, hoping that my husband would wake up. "A... Aaaa*...."

"Darling, honey.. Why are you?"

He patted Tiara's cheek. The girl opened her eyes, and immediately sat down in surprise. He saw Jiho beside him. Breath and cold sweat all over the body. Jiho wiped the sweat coming out on Tiara's forehead and neck.

"What dream are you?" tanya's a little worried.

Tiara looked at him for a long time, vividly remembering the dream. Husband's hurt. Tiara cried again, her chest still shaking violently. Jiho grabbed him, leaning Tiara's head against his chest.

"I had a nightmare, A. I'm so scared," Tiara said while crying.

"It's just a dream baby, don't you be afraid."

"But there Aa was hurt, I was so scared." she continued.

"Honey, it's just a dream, just a sleeping flower.The proof is that Aa's okay. Calm down" he replied, calming his wife.

"You wait here, Aa get some water first," he said later. Jiho went to get him some water to drink.

"Ah hope it's just a sleeping flower, no other intention" said Tiara lirih. He tried to calm himself down and think positively not to be affected by the dream.
