Me, You And The Marriage Contract

Me, You And The Marriage Contract
The Talk of Two Men


🌹🌹🌹


“I beg you not to cry.” Hugging Tomi tightly, Tomi's shoulder still shook.


“You can be angry with me, don't forgive me. But, please.please do not cry.” Sadewa felt heavy to accept the fact that Tomi's tears were still falling.


“You can hit me, yes...you can hit me!” Sadewa released a hug between herself and Tomi, raised Tomi's right hand and smacked it into her own face.


“Hit me as much as you.”


The Syrian mother was shocked, her face panicked. Spontaneously she stood up from the soft sofa where Mom and Tomi were talking earlier. Meanwhile, Martin quickly walked forward. Unable to see the scene in plain sight, could not bear with the attitude of Sadewa who led Tomi hand movements to hit himself. Martin could not accept all that, his little heart was in revolt, all was not the fault of Sadewa.


“Kak, enough!” Martin stops Sadewa's hand ready to send Tomi's right hand back to his own. “Already brother, already!”


“Martin, please do not interfere.” Sadewa tries to get rid of Martin.


“Tom, I beg you, it's Tom! Already!” Ask Tomi, plead with all her soul.


“See mother, Tomi see mother!” spread her right hand towards the Mother of Syria. “Tomi, mommy is already very devastated over all this, please Tom don't let mommy be more destroyed by seeing the hit-and-hit scene between you and brother!”


Sadewa looked at Martin's hand, her beloved mother covering her face with both palms. Mother's shoulders trembled, mother seemed to be very shocked by this incident. But Sadewa had no other choice. He is wrong, and he is ready to let Tomi punish him, beat him up.


Tomi did not turn around, did not respond, looked down with tears that were not yet exhausted. The dilemma, however, is not knowing how.


Immediately Tomi fell, with both knees supporting her body, Tomi held Sadewa's calf. His head was down, his heart was very messed up.


“Sister, forgive me!” Said Tomi while hugging Sadewa's legs.


“Tomi,” Sadewa immediately lowered his head, bent over trying to lift Tomi's body. “Stand deck, stand up! Don't be like this!”


Tomi stiffened her arms at Sadewa's feet. Instead of standing up, Tomi hugged Sadewa's legs tightly.


“I was wrong, I was wrong for almost two years with my sister. I'm sorry, brother!”


“Tomi, yes..God, my sister,”Sadewa chose to sit down. Align yourself in front of Tomi, hug Tomi and sit on the floor.


Long time these two handsome men embrace each other, let go of each other's grief and lara, let go of each other's longing between brothers who are squeezed deep sadness. All melted today, all loose in tears that fell on each soul that had been separated for so long. Now it's time to let go, get a fresh start for a new future.


Whether Sadewa or Tomi, they are equally devastated but, they share a responsibility for the future of the British extended family. There is still the Mother of Syria, a mother figure who always embraces them in love, a wife who herself is currently accompanying her children, a mother who floats the waters while burying her second child, and a woman who is, and the mother who is now responsible for the grandchild entrusted her second child.


And don't forget the little miss of the British family, Quinsha. The little girl who is recovering from her severe allergy attack also needs perfect affection to grow up. Mother is gone, there is no way she should be away from her father and father as well. This little girl would not be able to live in sorrow because of that dark time.


Sadewa and Tomi dissolved for so long, leaving Martin to lead her back to her room, the mother of Syria who was sweeping her cheeks slowly because of the clear grains that fell there. Everyone knows, these two handsome men are fine, they just open themselves to talk from heart to heart like a nice man like a grown man, and after that all the solutions will be achieved. Everything's gonna be fine.

“How have you been for almost two years?” Sadewa begins a conversation between herself and Tomi. Tonight they chose to sit together in Sadewa's reading room. They had to talk long between adult men who had forgiven each other for their own suffering.


“Not good sister, I always thought to catch up with Sofhia. I'm so devastated to live without Sofhia, sister.” Tomi looks sad.


“If it's like that, why are you just coming home now? Why didn't you come back early? I say we can strengthen each other, we can treat each other over that time.” Sadewa said slowly. Honestly, guilt still filled his little heart. Plus Tomi's confession just now, Sadewa realized, how heavy the time that Tomi passed in solitude at that time.


“Because I still can't take it all down. And right now, I'm home to get word that Quinsha's sick. I'm very worried sis.” Tomi and Sadewa sat facing each other.


“Shadow that this hand will again lift the wet soil to cover the burrow again appear. In fact, this hand is still wet brother, until now I still feel the dinginya red soil that I have to lift to cover the burrow of Sofhia first. I was afraid, so afraid I immediately chose to fly here. As fast as I can.” Tomi pulled the rough black hair on her head towards the back while closing her eyes.


“It happened because of my fault.” Sadewa confessed in a soft voice.


“Yes, mom already told me everything.” Tomi opened her eyes but, both of her hands were still above her head.


“I'm no less worried about you.” Sadewa took a deep breath.


“At that time I really wanted to kill you, brother!” Tom lowered both his hands. “That's how big my anger is at you.”


“I was wrong Tom, I won't give up one bit. And, if until now you still want to kill me too, I'm very sincere. It was all my fault, not once not now, it was all my fault.” Sadewa stared at the ceiling of the reading room.


“Hahahaha..,” Laughing. “Unfortunately when you see yourself as broken as I am, all my desires instantly evaporate kak.”


“I promise Tom, yesterday was the first and last time Quinsha was in such a bad shape. In the future, I am the main guarantor that if the child will live very well, she will be happy and grow into a strong British girl. I promise!” Sadewa looked at Tomi.


“I trust kak.” Tom breathed deeply. “Only, all of it will materialize under my supervision.”


“What do you mean?” Sadewa felt something was awkward.


“I have come not only to meet mother and sister but, I will also take Quinsha with me.” Tom meant it.


“Why can't sister? Why hah?” Tomi remains in true fashion.


“Tomi, Quinsha is the source of this home's happiness. He was born and raised in the affection of all of us here. If you bring it, what about this house? What about all of us?” Sadewa started to frown.


“And me, brother? What about me? Quinsha my son, brother. He is also my source of happiness. I haven't seen her grow for a long time. Two years it's very long sis.” Tomi won't budge.


“Tom, we agreed when you decided to leave. Don't tell me you forgot that time?” Sadewa hardened his jaw, his anger grew.


“I won't be able to forget all the things in those days brother. Brother himself knew at that time that I was almost crazy until, had to leave this house, leaving Quinsha to mother, brother and Martin. But, that was first brother!” Tomi knows that Sadewa's jaw is hardened. Tomi looks undaunted.


“That used to be brother, and now it's different. If only you hadn't done anything wrong by wasting Quinsaha with that damn model woman. I will probably still choose to be immersed in my world, I will still choose to pay attention to the growth and development of my son from afar. I'm sure, all of you won't let Quinsha grieve over what else to suffer.” Tomi continued his words, the outpouring of his heart for almost two years.


“Unfortunately, everything was not as I expected. My son, my son, my biological son, the only precious relic of my wife, your sister, sis! It almost took a life because of the fucking woman you made a lover.” Tomi's voice rose, Tomi was stirred with emotion.


“Lantas, should I just shut up? Letting all this happen? No brother! Don't hope! Damn you brother.”


“I don't want to lose a second time.” Tomi's voice is still high.


“I was wrong and I decided that woman was Tom. I swear, I swear to you, Quinsha will never do any more harm! I swear Tom!” the misery of Sadewa has reached its peak.


“Sorry brother. My decision is round. I'll take Quinsha away!” And Tomi remained adamant with all her decisions. Survive all the plans he had prepared before he came to this magnificent house again.


New Mentari In The First Month


Kayana woke up early at the same time but, for this morning there was a beautiful smile on her face. With a small hum, Kayana did her morning routine as usual. Kayana's heart is in full bloom.


“Morning bi.” Kayana greeted the aunt who was busy sweeping the courtyard of Kayana's official home. Aunty looks serious there while occasionally fixing the location of fresh flowers of garden residents. Kayana had just returned from a morning run around the compound where she lived.


Ehhh, tumben this morning non Kayana's face is more radiant than usual? Aunt muttered in heart.


“People coming home from the sport are tired of non but, how come sinon looks excited? Happy very non, seduced what was the same mother complex?” accuse under his own assumptions.


“Hahahaha..” laughs cheerfully. “Aibi is wrong, Ana is not tempted just because Ana was happy because today is even day one month Ana is here bi.”


“Loh, it's been one month yes non? Aunty kok felt like a new kayak yesterday morning only miss doctor came here.” Thinks. “Quickly once time passes yes non.”


“Live another five months bi,” Kayana muttered softly.


“Iya non, how?” aunt did not hear Kayana's words.


“Hahahaha.” again laughs cheerfully. “Not bi, not anything kok.” Kayana stepped in with light steps, walking inside her service home, leaving the aunt who only shook her head still clueless with Kayana's attitude this morning.


“Important the non happy and at home here, so can be forever the same aunt and it's the main one.” Aunty's smile before continuing her work this morning.


**********


When Kayana stepped in her ring, accompanied by a happy smile, just at that time a handsome man with a tall and athletic body was depressed in his bedroom. Sadewa, this handsome man was wearing his work tie before pinning a branded work coat to cover the navy shirt he wears today. Sadewa's hand worked to make the light blue tie knot perfectly attached but, his mind was drifting away.


One week after Tomi returned to the British family, Tomi appeared to be very close to Quinsha. The little girl Sadewa is very comfortable with Tomi, calm and always follow Tomi anywhere, as if not willing to separate.


Ah, however they are father and biological children, it is natural that the bond between them is so strong.


Sadewa stared at the end result of the tie installation with his heart always busy guessing.


Tomi until this moment still survives with his own founder, with his own wishes. Tomi will take Quinsha away with her when she will be back. Tomi wants to raise Quinsha, wants to carry out her responsibilities as a father. Want to raise an only child who has a very similar face to Sadewa's younger brother.


“ When ya Tomi will go carry Quinsha?” muttering while wearing his work coat. “How do I convince Tomi not to take Quinsha away? What should I do?”


Failed to find a solution, but for one week Sadewa tried to persuade Tomi, melt the heart of the man who had married his younger brother, which could not be denied had been considered Sadewa as his own sister. Sadewa is ready, his work clothes are neat, shoes with nominal very many digits have been installed. He is ready to go to work.


“Why Tomi and Quinsha don't eat breakfast with us bun?” Arriving at the dinner table, Sadewa does not find Tomi and Quinsha, even though breakfast together is their family's mandatory routine, Sadewa always make sure in the morning they will gather together at the dinner table. Tell stories together, share the story of the morning together, things that the father has always taught for a long time. And Sadewa maintained that to this day.


“Tomi again nyuapin your daughter in the back garden, again spoiled tuh son same father. Just eat ask his father who bribe and must be secure anyway.” Mother smiled.


“I'll see them briefly mother.” Sadewa is sitting on the dining chair.


“God, just let them.” Mother prevented Sadewa's footsteps.


“Mother, what should we do to get Tomi to change her mind?” Sadewa finally sat down in her dining chair. Observe a plate of chili with a variety of fresh vegetables in it.


“You sure you want to hear your solution, son?” Mother stopped the movement of her spoon and fork. Sipping water and switching to Sadewa.
