Married Former Napi

"If by my honesty I hurt your heart, I hope I can decorate it with regret to always make you happy and as long as I live I won't let you get hurt, my dear... Valencia", Inward Andaro saw Valencia depart.

Two days have passed since Andaro's confession to Valencia in Rinku. Viktor canceled his return to Indonesia because he saw Valencia's unnatural reaction. Returning from Rinku to this day, Valencia seems to experience vocal cord and hearing disorders. No words were spoken no response to any utterance directed at him.

"At least you talk to me, don't keep quiet like that. Let's say what makes you quiet like this Val. "outcry Viktor when visiting Andaro's house and only welcome the glance of Valencia.

Andaro accidentally asks Viktor to come accompany his wife. Great hope the presence of Viktor will make Valencia's heart better and start to open. It has been two days that Valencia always avoid Andaro, when Andaro goes into the room then Valencia will go out and when Andaro follows him immediately Valencia enter the room and lock it.

Andaro prefers to face the chattering or boisterous story of Valencia which sometimes sounds boring, compared to facing Valencia which is very clear to avoid it. Valencia only left the room at 10pm after making sure Andaro left and went into the room at 5pm before Andaro returned.

Unbeknownst to Andaro, Valencia has prepared snacks and fruit to block his hunger that is getting bigger. Unlike Andaro who fears Valencia and the baby will be malnourished because of the protests.

"You'd better talk and get angry with Andaro, Val. Don't let everyone else be like this" Viktor still insisted on getting Valencia to talk while Valencia kept quiet and chewed on the Hokkaido melon that Andaro had peeled off before going to work.

Viktor began to get annoyed, "Well I'll just leave instead of talking to Charlie Chaplin. Ow yeah tomorrow I'll be home because I'm here for nothing. Maybe Daddy will come and pick you up with a divorce papers you can sign."

Viktor's speech made Valencia stunned, the word divorce was so creepy and there was no thought of divorce.

Valencia stopped Viktor's steps, "Don't go. I'm lonely."

Viktor turned around and hugged his sister, "Ahh my sweety sister. You are almost officially a mother but your behavior is still my little sister... cry or just hit me if it makes you feel better.but remember not to pinch!!!"

Viktor can't stand the pinch, he can beat the thugs with a few punches and win a landslide, but it will go straight when pinned. Only Valencia and Daddy Hero know Viktor's unique weaknesses.

In Viktor's arms, Valencia began to swerve, there were no words, only snot sounds were forced in and breaths were held to remain stable.

The clap of Viktor's hand on Valencia's back helped Valencia pull out his load, his tears breaking. After a while, the two sat next to each other. Viktor took water for Valencia.

"Drink and clean your moustache face" Viktor said, offering glasses and tissue.

Fresh water flows to relieve Valencia's esophagus, "Viktor... "

Viktor was still patiently waiting for Valencia's next words.

"i've started to love Andaro, but if he really had a role in Dion's death, I feel like I'm guilty of Dion's death..... Even though I know Andaro is an ex-con, but I still can't believe he's gonna decide to take someone's life."

Valencia shuffled his hair involuntarily and stroked his stomach slowly as if the movement had become a mandatory and natural movement that could calm his heart.

"Then, you want to end your relationship with Andaro?" Viktor.

"No..," did not wait long for Valencia to give a resolute answer.

"So, how long are you going to be like this?? Andaro is a normal human being who has a heart. Being ignored like a vacuum robot must be very annoying and annoying, even though he feels it is perfectly natural that you hate him."

"I don't feel hate for him. I just feel guilty for Dion and Andaro. I feel guilty because to defend me Andaro finally did the planning and death of Dion. I hate myself and my life Viktor."

The tears flowed back though not as hard as before.

"You know Valencia, what Dion did was outrageous. He's already returned the milk with tubal water. Even if he hates Daddy Hero for being underestimated, he should at least be aware that your concern for his family is beyond normal limits. Even during the pandemic you supported Laura's finances, Mother's, and Dion's sisters because of the possibility of a tour agent business that had no income at all. Unless Dion doesn't know what you're doing... "

Valencia shook his head, because the help he did came from the personal savings of the Hero express stock, Valencia did not tell Dion because it kept Dion's self-esteem.

"Ckckck you are indeed the wingless angel Val. and Dion is aahh no. At least you need to know Valencia, Dion's death is not your sin but it is a recompense for the crimes he committed against you. If it wasn't Andaro's men who did, it would have been me or daddy who would've finished him."

The ringing of the phone broke the silence of the two.

📞Viktor, are you with Valencia?

Viktor replies to Maiko who calls, "Yes I've been with him and his vocal cords have recovered. What about your cousin?

Viktor observes Valencia, who has calmed down, "Can you find Valencia activities to calm down?"

📞(think for a moment) All right, I'll send someone to take you to Ikebana's course, at least there Valencia can turn his attention to beauty.

"Do you want me to join the flower arrangement? no thank you but I'm not interested, tomorrow I'm going home and I have to pack," Viktor said to avoid taking the flower arrangement course. Though Ikebana is very different from the flower arranging technique in Indonesia. Ikebana is the art of flower arranging in Japan which has a deep philosophy.

📞Alright you don't have to come, just make sure Valencia wants to get into my man's car that will take him to the course. Later tonight let Andaro pick her up.

The call ended and Viktor tried to explain and persuade Valencia.

"Maiko called. Andaro's condition isn't good either and you know what it's because."

Valencia looked at his brother, "Then what can I do?"

"Now get ready, Maiko has a cool way to unwind and make you try to string beauty."

Valencia immediately get ready, Ikebana is an interesting thing that he has tried in a short course in Indonesia. Not much to think anymore as if the mood improved and sumringah with the options given by Maiko.

Until the course, Valencia felt a very comfortable atmosphere, peaceful, calm. Some people there seem to be doing different stringing techniques so that the direction of the end result will not be the same.

ikebana has the philosophy of God, Nature, and Man. Each arrangement has meaning and not just stringing the flowers together into one.

Five hours of the course is quite tiring but it is fun to see the results of his work is simple but according to Valencia very reflects him at this time.

There hasn't been much interest in her married life with Andaro. Many problems such as dry twigs that seem to hinder their togetherness. But it turns out the autumn twigs can also be strung beautifully.

Valencia stepped out of the skinny spot preparing to walk towards the nearest station and headed home.

"We go for a walk yes baby.strong yes. tomorrow grandpa must also get used to the road to be healthy yes." said Valencia while stepping and stroking his stomach.

His steps came to a halt, the man he had avoided two days ago came to pick him up.

Andaro smiled gently with a longing gaze, extended his hand to help Valencia down the stairs. Andaro did not want to directly hold the arm of Valencia, he handed Valencia whether it was willing to touch or still reluctant to be close.

Valencia clenched Andaro's hand, and walked side by side slowly. Warm, burly arms hugged Valencia's shoulders.

"Are you hungry honey?"

Tanya Andaro was answered nod by Valencia. The car door opened and they prepared to slide into the restaurant.

"I miss you" Valencia whispered as they were already wearing seat belts. Andaro did not expect to hear that and like getting an unexpected surprise, spontaneously Andaro facing Valencia looked at him deeply.

"Oh Cia. You know, two days you've been avoiding me and not hearing your voice, my world's collapsing.. "

Valencia faced Andaro holding the cheek of his beloved husband, "Thank you, you have been very patient with me and listened to for all that you have done for me"

Andaro nodded and drew closer the distance between them, grabbed Valencia's chin and started to kiss his soft lips in front of him.

Valencia: "Let every stalk of mass that cannot be buried, will be assembled to decorate life and add beauty not to ruin the future."
