My Senior My husband
18. His Little Angel
It's the first time in a lifetime, Shelly's come to Regan's index. During this year he never came here, unlike Regan who often to his boarding house. I don't know what the girl's possessed here, without telling Regan of course. She just wants to know how the man is doing, the prestige is also angry but stuck to know how her husband is doing. The girl pressed the doorbell, not long there was a sound of footsteps from inside. Shelly took one step back as the door opened, a man opened the door.
"Yes?"
"Em, you want to find Regan's sister?"
"Regan DTK's son?" Shelly nodded.
"She hasn't looked like it in a long time, but she's been here. Let me look inside ya, you wait a minute while sitting."
Shelly nodded then sat in the patio guest seat, Regan long invisible? Does he live in both of them and not at the store?
"Shell?" The heavy voice pacified Shelly's mind, he saw Regan standing still wearing a BEM-FT corsa. His face looks very pale, even he now has fine hair in the area of the chin and under the nose. Her hair was also slightly shaggy compared to usual. The girl stood in front of Regan and wiped the man's black mane and smiled.
"You're so bad."
"Yes." Yeah."
"Shave yuk mas."
Regan nodded slowly. "Go home yuk Shell."
"Eum..."
"Away home?"
The girl was very worried, all the decisions were in her hands. "Shave first, huh?"
Regan nodded and received Shelly's helping hand, they went from the index to one of the nearby barbershop. The girl just showed Regan an old photo of her to the barber and asked to tidy up Regan's hair and face like the photo. Shelly thought Regan would be fine without her, apparently not. The man was like an undead, his eyes looking red when he saw Shelly's face directly. Okay he admitted that he was outrageous to the man, ignoring all the calls and messages from him.
Long enough, Regan finally finished shaving and looked better than before. When they're done paying, they leave the barbershop. Regan followed her girl to one of the cafes, and they went in and ordered food. Shelly chose the corner seat, they sat facing each other.
"You're good Shell?"
"So far yes and no, I'm as fucked up as you are."
"You fucked?"
"Maybe not as bad as you who neglect the same appearance. I thought you'd be fine without me, but you're fucked up, too."
"Back Shell, I can't keep doing this. A month without knowing your news, it feels like broken but slowly. I don't have the spirit of life, I'm like dead."
"That can't be so!"
"Away home?"
"I think about it again."
"Please, I beg you."
"If the time is right, I'll go home, I promise. Now let's have a chat."
The two chatted while eating casually, although Regan was still limp because he had not managed to bring his wife home. But at least he's been able to meet Shelly here. All this time he did not pay too much attention to appearance, since Shelly left it feels like there is no spirit of self. Even just to shave hair to barbershop or fine hair that began to grow on his face. It even feels like the weight has started to fall because some pants are already loose again.
"Where are the UAS preparations?"
"Not learning SBMPTN anymore, is it?" Shelly is stunned to hear Regan's question, how did she know her plan? He only told his father, did his father give the information to Regan?
"No, about SBM is not that difficult so do not have to learn."
"So really?"
"What?"
"Wanna move?"
"No."
"Continue?"
"I didn't move, just a private listing for a double degree."
"Double degree? He said he wanted another SBM... Em, I mean me..." Shelly te smiles at the nervous Regan.
"No, why would I move if I actually went to college where everyone wants to."
"Thank God."
"I'm not running, I'm just going for a while." For whatever sake, he would regret this remark, for sure. After all he had to comfort Regan who was in a mess, let alone this was partly his fault as well. About the double degree plan is true, he is trying to enroll at the level of S1 to one of the private universities here. And still waiting for the results, if you are lucky if you do not yes chances are he will continue S2 only after graduation later.
"I'm sorry."
"Yes." Yeah."
"I'm sorry if I'm selfish, I don't understand how you feel. Please don't go again, don't ever go."
"Yes, I'm sorry too. Maybe I'm too selfish, too, but we don't hide our sins."
Regan is silent, Shelly pulls something out of her bag. A journal that she wrote a year ago, there's a lot of writing there that Regan should read, maybe.
"Yes, if you're ready to know why I agreed to our match. Do not eat late, do not eat too much coffee and stay up late, do not get angry at people. I'm saying, you know what you have to do after reading this journal."
Shelly stood up and left Regan, the man staring at the journal that had started to dull. He's not ready, he doesn't want to know anything bad. But he also wondered why the girl would prefer him over the college of his dreams. Regan let out a long sigh, she thought living life as an easy husband turned out to be heavy. He was very tired, he wanted to get out of this zone. But his feelings for Shelly are already deep, unable to go back up. Including his chat with his father-in-law at that time. Telling how stubborn a Shelly is, it looks like what the character is up to the girl's childhood story. He realized that the distance and Shelly were still too far away, even the girl never told him about her childhood which turned out to be very interesting.
"He's the guy all, playing football, kites, wooden trucks, down times, to the cat nyari market, just a weird little fit. So if now his behavior is strange and like a man is not surprised."
"He's a pinter Gan, since SD has always been the class champion. Can speak English fluently in class 4 SD, just sing it don't have to read the lyrics. Not too slang, the slaul pas already SMK same lecture this. SMP he participated in many excursions such as paskib, drumband, music, basketball, fencing. Only fitting SMK has stopped all because the focus for ngasah skill is the same as studying to enter university. Even though SMK just hangs out a lot right back home from school but he's smart."
"She's not pretty, but she has a good side that not everyone has. Never selfless, and always pay attention to the surrounding even though it is a bit tiredor and little budek."
"She's the father's most determined daughter, though stubborn but the father loves her very much. Even his love exceeds yours to him probably."
"He is an angel who descends as a child. I take great care of my daughter, so I accept your papa's offer to betroth you. Since father was old, he had to have a stronger man to accompany his long journey. And I'm sure you can, as you promised Gan. Try your best to keep my little angel, until the end of your life."
A very touching conversation, a promise he made that would be a reason to keep this all. He must take care of a little angel belonging to a man, and accompany his journey to the success of the world and the hereafter.
"Regan promises well, as long as I'm still breathing your little angel is always well preserved."
