“Sniff...Liar!!” Ellisa's voice was still accompanied by a sob that seemed to be painful as well.
‘Liar? have I ever lied?’ inner Xio confusion. Worrying face waiting for Ellisa continued to talk while stroking her hair, because Ellisa no longer brushed her hand.
“...Have you been satisfied talking nonsense all this time.” Said Ellisa immersing her face in the pillow.
Looking at Tassa who had fallen asleep, Xio immediately lifted Ellisa's body and sat her on his lap with eyes that wanted to look directly at Ellisa's eyes, but Ellisa instead turned her face and lowered her head.
“Shy see me.” Xio cupped both of Ellisa's cheeks to look at her directly.
The deg!
Instantly his chest felt very painful like it was pierced with a thousand swords, when he saw the roar of tears that had soaked the beautiful face of his wife. Nothing hurts more than seeing someone you love hurt. Naturally Xio immediately hugged her tightly letting Ellisa cry first in his arms.
“Darling can you say what I've done, which makes you like this? I will punish myself if I know what my mistake is.” Once again Xio asked expecting an answer from Ellisa. He looked back at his face and wiped the tears on his cheeks.
“...There is nothing wrong with you, it may be natural for a man to be dissatisfied with one woman only.” Ellisa replied which was still difficult for Xio to understand.
Xio instantly realized something when he saw Ellisa glancing towards his hand that had just rubbed Ellisa's cheek.
Yoke!
The sound of objects falling behind Ellisa suddenly made him turn to the direction of the sound. On the floor there was a piece of arm that was covered in blood which certainly made him surprised.
Looking back at Xio. He saw Xio smiling sincerely, but when he glanced to his right side, he immediately realized that the hand lying on the floor just now was Xio's arm.
“Xio! What are you doing stupid?!” With a face of panic and worry Ellisa shook Xio's face.
“I just did my punishment.” Xio replied casually and still smiled even though blood was flowing from his arm. “This pain is not as painful as seeing you cry because of me. At least this way I can see that my wife still loves me.” She rubbed Ellisa's lips with her left hand.
“I'm sorry I reneged on my promise.”
Xio realized why Ellisa was crying like such a heartache. Because of Ellisa's sharp smell, so she must have thought that Xio was already playing with another woman when he smelled another woman in his right hand. Ellisa did not know that the smell of the woman was actually the smell of Zara, which at that time was just Xio holding his head.
Although cutting his own hand feels a little excessive just because of a misunderstanding, but Xio wants to prove that he will really keep his promise.
Ellisa immediately laid Xio down on the bed and took a hand piece on the floor which she then placed next to Xio while chanting the spell.
“Sanitatem!”
Instantly after the spell was cast, the previously severed arm quickly re-integrated as it was. Seeing that Xio had recovered, Ellisa immediately buried her face in Xio's chest.
“Why did you hurt yourself stupid!?”
“I want you to believe that I will never renege on my promise.and for the smell of the woman you just kissed let me explain..” Xio gave Ellisa an explanation regarding the smell of the woman in her hand.
“Sorry because I've touched another woman besides my wife.” Xio finished explaining.
“ No, I should have apologized for misunderstanding my husband.” Elisa.
Xio smiled and immediately raised Ellisa over his body and kissed her lips. “Tonight I won't let you go.” His voice hugged Ellisa tighter and tighter.
‘Love is like a medicine and also wounds simultaneously.’
...----------------...
The night changed in the morning, last night after the misunderstanding between the husband and wife was over, nothing happened again.only Xio would not let go of his embrace even while sleeping.
Ellisa also felt a little strange because Xio did not ask for a ration at all last night. Not wanting to think negatively, Ellisa thought that maybe Xio was not wanting to or exhausted.
This morning at home there was only Ellisa along with her two babies, and Rose alone. Because this morning again Jhonatan and the children invited Xio to exercise, but this time they invited Xio Jogging.
.
.
.
‘Today I plan to hug Ellisa all day.’ Inwardly Xio complained, but still followed where Jhonatan and Leon and Lena ran.
After a few jang runs, they stop in front of a cafe, because Jhonatan invites him to rest there. Entering the cafe ordered 2 cups of black coffee for Jonatan and Xio, while Leon and Lena ordered only chocolate milk.
to restore energy, they sit in the cafe sitting resting while enjoying their drinks each accompanied by small talk between father and son. Xio and Jhonatan did not pay attention to the people who were talking about them behind their backs, because they could be heard just praising the good looks of the father and son.
Some talk cool Jonathan om-om, and Xio who is very handsome like an actor.
“Dad why always take me anyway? holidays like this would like me to spend to stick to Ellisa all day.” said Xio.
“Tracking directly on your wife until mossy, is it a father should not what spend time with his son? we have not done activities together for a long time, right?”
“Hahh well, another time I will take time occasionally.” Xio sighed. indeed there was no harm in also occasionally doing activities with his father.
“Grandpa! is this a photo of grandma with papah?” Tanya Lena pointed to a photo located in Jhonatan's wallet. The photo shows a picture of Xio as a child sitting on Nadia's lap, her mother.
“Truely this is a photo of your grandmother and papah. How beautiful is not your grandmother?”
“Very beautiful, as beautiful as mamah. papah also here looks very cute.” Said Lena.
“Haha.grandfather knows, your grandmother is indeed the most beautiful and kind.” Jonathan laughed and boasted, though in his heart he thought and regretted not realizing it from the beginning.
aware of his expression that would become moody, he immediately returned to pretending to be happy so that his children and grandchildren did not realize it. But unfortunately Xio had already realized that from the beginning.
Xio thought Jhonatan must be lonely after all these years no one accompanied him. whereas Xio himself had always been with Ellisa, So he definitely wanted to have Xio accompany him to relieve his loneliness.
“Dad, let's go home!”
“Iya why rush papah?” Added Leon.
“Let's visit mom. I want to introduce my wife and kids to mom.” Xio.
“Yeayy visit to grandma!!” Leon and Lena.
“But..” Jhonatan looks doubtful.
“Come grandfather!!” Lena pulled Jhonatan's hand.
Jonathan finally resigned and followed Xio and Leon and Lena. Jhonatan was actually nervous to visit Nadia's grave, he felt unworthy to go there after all the regrets he had done. But in his heart he was also desperate to go there, considering he was last there at his funeral alone.
‘Maybe I should have visited my wife even though I couldn't see her anymore, at least she could see me.’
.
.
.
.
.
Xio goes home to change clothes and invites Ellisa and Rose to visit his mother's grave. Nadia's grave is located in the cemetery where her extended family along with her mother's father are buried.
It only takes about an hour by car, and they get there. Descending from Xio and Ellisa's car carrying their baby, Leon and Lena are led by Rose, and behind him Jhonatan carries a flower basket in her cold sweaty hands.
“Den Xio!” there was a man who called Xio not far from there.
“Oh uncle, uncle still remembers me?” Xio asked, remembering that the man was a tomb guard.
“Of course, a handsome young man with white hair who used to come here every week to visit his mother.how can I forget. well even though den Xio became even more handsome. it seems like young people today are fast and fast growth.”.
“Haha uncle could have.” Xio.
‘My son often comes here after his mother died. As for me, her husband himself never visited her again. Should I be ashamed or regret not coming with my son at that time?’ Jhonatan again and again contemplated his past.
After his mother died at that time, Xio did come to this place almost every week during holidays, but without Jhonatan's knowledge. Because at that time Xio did not dare to speak to Jonathan.
“Well uncle, then I'll excuse you first.” Xio.
“Ah yes please.” The answer.
Xio walked followed by the others. When Jhonatan walked and passed the man guarding the tomb earlier, he looked like he was bowing his head when he saw Jhonatan. Perhaps already know how his past was with Xio.
After arriving at his tomb, Xio saw the tomb is very well preserved and there are still sprinkles of flowers on it that seem to have only a few days sprinkled. maybe after this Xio will ask him who last came to his mother's tomb at the tomb guard earlier.
Xio crouched down beside the tomb followed by Ellisa who was crouching beside him as well.
“Sorry mom, I just got to visit you again after so long. Mother take it easy, this time I am here not alone in a happy and not sad state like that time again.” Said Xio who instantly made Jhonatan's hand tremble instead of playing. Then Xio came here always with the condition of making? and whose fault is it? of course, it is his fault that he has ever dropped his child's mentality.
Jhonatan could not imagine what if he was in the position of Xio at that time who was still a teenager. It is true that when Xio came to this place to complain about all his circumstances at home to his mother, even if only talking to the ground. But Xio was convinced that his mother was there to listen to his story and see him.
“Thank you whose mom came with me? Aye! I'm here with my wife and kids. I'm glad I introduced my little family to you, too...This beautiful woman beside me is my wife, her name is Ellisa, and these four little angels are my children.Mom take it easy, I will definitely be a responsible man and make them happy.” Xio spoke while smiling like he wanted to boast to his mother like he was there and listen to her.
“Thank you mom, have raised my husband to be a good man like this. Mom just calm down, I will definitely give him happiness.” Added Ellisa. Xio smiled and stroked his head.
Glancing at Jhonatan, he saw that his father was staring at Nissan with teary eyes. Xio knew what Jhonatan was feeling, but he did not know how absolutely certain his charm was at the moment.which must have been very painful for him to see from his trembling hands.
“Oh yes mom, dad is also here..Look at mom, when at that time my own father said men should not cry, but it looks like dad will cry at this time.” Xio.
“Ha-ha where may I cry in front of wife and child, my granddaughter.” Jhonatan immediately rubbed his eyes and crouched down beside the tomb, trying to look strong.
“Nadia..actually I dare not stand before you at this time...You must have heard of how incompetent I am to be a father of Xio...You're not here, but I'm sure you're listening to me right now...I know that all my actions are inexcusable, but once again I want to admit that I was wrong. It's okay if you don't want to forgive me, at least you've been willing to listen to my biggest regret.”
"Look, our son is both grown up and living happily with his son and wife. Right now you must be smiling to see him along with our son-in-law and grandchildren."
“I hope you didn't reflect because you left me and Xio. Oh and yes, I didn't lie when I said I loved you. Thank you for accompanying me and remembering me on your last breath." Jonathan put the flowers he was carrying in front of Nissan.
"This is your favorite flower…"
...----------------...
Meanwhile, in the surrounding area it looks very fresh with a floor like a cloud and there is also a fish pond with a small waterfall that decorates it.
A beautiful looking woman sits in an old-fashioned gazebo with her long white hair and downstairs and her fair skin covered in a white, silky cloth like the Goddess in European legends, So endearing. But unfortunately he currently looks like he is sad looking at the mirror in front of him.
"Your Majesty, why are you sad?" Ask a woman beside him who seems to be a ladyboy.
"I'm glad my son found his happiness. After leaving the earth, I only listened to her grief. And it's because I left him. Suppose that at that time my energy of grace did not run out mung-mung"
"Empress, don't blame yourself. After all, now the prince has grown to be more mature, and is happy to be with his wife and child. So I think the prince wants you to be happy to also see his achievements."
"You're right too."
"Does the empress still love those lowly humans?" Ask her ladyboy a little look down.
"Huss.gainst your words however he has bestowed a handsome boy. But if asked, maybe I still love him, but…..
