BECOME MORE BEAUTIFUL


Rey rested in the car for a moment, she fell asleep there during the ride. Before deciding to go to the park, he had bought lavender flowers for Marwa. She knew for herself that she loved lavender.


For a moment he looked at his watch, which was the time where he was supposed to be in the garden. But his circumstances were not possible, he was late to come there. Even so, his desire remained to meet his wife there.


Once there, the results are still nil. Marwa did not come again to keep her promise as she had said nine years ago, and if she did not meet again, Rey did not know she had to condition her heart as much as she did. There has been too much pain that he feels, whether he can or not he lives without the woman later.


If only he had known earlier about the existence of the woman he was looking for, he would have never forced himself like this in his ailing state only to meet the woman he loved so much. Knowing that Marwa is a Star. Rey doesn't want to close her eyes, whoever she wants to keep loving that woman very well. Although at first it was still painful, forcing yourself to love the woman when her heart was not so good.


It had been a few hours that he had waited, the day had become increasingly dark. There was no sign of the woman coming to see him, the flowers he brought were not as good as before. Rey fixes her scarf wrapped around her neck. It had given up its taste, plus its cough that could not be held back anymore.


Meanwhile, from a distance the female figure lowered her head doubtfully, she stood a few meters away from the figure of the man waiting for it on the long bench, which is where she used to cancel meeting with the man because of an incident.


Marwa looked down stiffly, she was eager to call out the man's name, admitting her mistake that had gone from her own husband's life to feeling that her husband had betrayed their marriage. But the person her husband loves is herself.


"If you don't come again, I don't know when I'll wait again. It's possible that I'll give up" Marwa paused her steps after hearing that. "Hurtful, is when you promise that we will stay together. But you are the one who left, is this your way to hurt even more deeply? Not enough hiding and being someone else to torture me,"


Marwa closed her mouth at that time. She heard a raucous voice and saw her husband looking down there after throwing the flower. Looks desperate this time. Never before had she seen her husband like that, the man kept his head down and grabbed his hair.


Marwa, walking doubtfully then approached her husband. Perhaps the man was unaware of himself standing in front of his own husband, as some who passed by from in front of him just now, perhaps Rey thought that he was someone else.


"Mas, I'm coming," Marwa's voice raucously. He had been watching the man over an hour ago. He was afraid to approach Reynand. Afraid that the man will be disappointed in her.


Slowly the man raised his head, as if not believing what was before him at this moment. Eight years, the wait is always in vain. He doesn't want to happen again for the umpteenth time.


Looking at her husband's teary eyes, "Mas," she said again.


The man stood up and the two of them faced each other, the day was already getting dark. People left the park and only a few people remained. But the distance between the two of them was so far away.


Rey remained silent, but her eyes spoke even though her mouth was tightly closed.


"I came to see you, Mas" said Marwa, who could not hold back her tears.


Rey who is no less happy even to make him shed tears. "Hmm, welcome," the man replied and directly pulled his wife into his arms. So tight, that Marwa's cries could not be held again and then finally broke.


"Aren't you going to go again?" ask Rey.


Marwa shook her head, she this time returned her husband's embrace so tightly while crying. The wounds they had felt together melted into one, Rey who kept hugging him tighter and tighter, Marwa too. She did not want to let go of her husband's embrace.


"You promise you won't leave me?"


"Not going to, Mas. Sorry for what happened first,"


The man felt ill hearing his wife's statement, not him being wrong. However, an incident forced them to postpone the meeting. He wiped his tears and let go of his wife's embrace.


"Let's go home!" take Rey.


Marwa shakes. "I want to hear your story for the rest of my life" replied Marwa who could not stop her tears from dripping again.


"Let's tell me at home, we'll go home!" take Rey.


"No, Mas,"


"Marwa," said Rey slowly. He could no longer hold his body. His weakened state, when ill like now he could not stay outside for too long.


"Why are you?" asked Marwa frantically who saw Rey immediately sitting with a pale face and coughing from earlier.


"Let's go home, madam. You are still not healthy" said the driver who was approaching and approached the two of them in the park.


Marwa helped her husband get into the car. During the trip, Rey kept coughing. "Can I sleep here?" pinta Rey holds his wife's shoulder. Marwa could not resist that, between sadness and worry. Happy if she finally meets her husband despite the circumstances of self-imposed, because she knows that her husband's waiting is very long.


"I slept on your boat, and hugged!" Marwa pulled her husband's head and stroked the man's head slowly. Marwa could not bear to see her husband's current state. Her fault, which at that time was offered by Dimas to meet with Rey when her husband was sick. But he refused for reasons not yet ready.


The car stops, Marwa who has just realized that they have arrived at her in-laws' house. I don't know what makes the driver think that way to take them to his in-laws. They should have come home because they have their own house, "Mas, get up!" Marwa patted her husband on the cheek and woke the man up to a complete realization. Her mother-in-law came out.


"Marwa," called Nagita who was surprised to see Marwa coming to their house. Unexpectedly, she thought that Marwa would never see Rey again because they both had enough to endure each other's suffering from hurting each other.


Although confused by the arrival of her daughter-in-law, she helps Rey into a room that looks so weak.


"I'm sorry, Ma" said Marwa in tears. Because he became the cause of Rey falling ill again. If only she had gone out first and met her husband, nothing like that would have happened.


"Already, Son! Don't blame yourself, the important thing is that you don't go away with him anymore, right?" nagita asks him to make sure that his son will never be abandoned a second time by the woman so loved by Rey.


"No, Ma. Marwa will remain on the side, Mas Rey," moments later they have arrived at Rey's room where she's prepared. Even if he doesn't come, Nagita keeps tidying up the room for Rey.


"You rest! Mama's ready for dinner,"


Marwa nodded and let her in-laws go. Rey sat on the edge of the bed and opened her scarf. Marwa was just about to leave. Rey pulled his wife's hand. "Where are you going?"


"You pray magrib,"


"Sholatnya here, can not separate the room again from now on!"


Marwa nodded slowly. "But,"


"No word but, yes I prayed first,"


"You're sick,"


"Sickness is no excuse. If you can't stand up, sit down. If you can't sit down, lie down,"


"Why?"


"Ah, that's Mas" he said trying to find an excuse.


"That's what?"


"Actually, I'm again coming moon,"


Rey rolled her eyeballs and looked lethargic. He wanted to pray together for the first time with his wife.


"Sorry,"


"Why did a lie say you wanted to pray?"


Marwa was silent and confused looking for an excuse. "Shame," said Marwa slowly.


"Shut up here. I pray first, you can't go anywhere!" her husband said firmly,


Marwa saw her husband's back start to sink behind the bathroom door. Honestly, for the first time she felt awkward like this, for a hug when she often did that with her husband. But this time Rey's much colder attitude and as if not finding warmth, Marwa felt very embarrassed.


A few minutes later her husband finished performing the service, she was still faithfully waiting. Rey woke up and approached herself, really an expression that made Marwa very confused at that time. Between fear and awkward.


Rey sat next to him. The man held both of his hands, at first he felt very embarrassed. But her husband's gaze hinted as if he didn't want to be let go making her understand.


"Marwa" said Rey slowly, stroking the woman's head with her right hand.


Marwa was embarrassed. "Follow your head, look at me!"


The words made him even more unkempt. It really makes Marwa a woman who is so embarrassed because of her husband. He shook his head and made Rey continue to say that in an increasingly soft tone.


"Can?" rey said quietly and made Marwa flinch with the remark.


"Can what?" Marwa is shocked to think that Rey will ask for her ration as a husband.


Rey smiled. "Open the veil!" said Rey slowly. Marwa closed her eyes then nodded slowly.


"The face is open!"


Rey kissed his wife's forehead before doing so, saying bismillah as she untied the veil. He slowly lowered the black veil that always wrapped his wife's face so gracefully.


It was as if it was piercing into Reynand's heart. The man shed his tears after seeing the woman in front of him now, "Assalamu'alaikum my wife," Rey said in a raucous tone and could no longer express her happiness. He was not crybaby, but he was too happy when he saw the woman smiling towards him.


"Wa'alaikumussalam my husband," greeted Marwa who made Rey kiss his wife's forehead.


"I'm sorry you've suffered so much, too often,"


Marwa shakes. "It's not you who made me suffer, but I who made you suffer for eight years, Mas" said Marwa and did not feel her tears.


Rey slowly drew her face closer. Marwa felt Rey's warm breath on her face. She closed her face when her husband kissed her. It was the first time in his entire life.


Behind the door, Azka who was about to see the condition of her son who was said to be weakened had just opened the door and was surprised to see his son who did that. Kissing Marwa so gently, Azka immediately closed the door and Nagita who saw her chest-shrinking expression was about to speak. But Azka snatched his wife's mouth and covered her with her hand and took her elsewhere.


Nagita rebelled against her husband's behavior.


"Why, anyway?"


"Mama didn't say Marwa was in the room" Azka protested.


"Kan Marwa is in the room, Papa didn't see you?"


"Bikin Papa was ashamed" he said, again, who was utterly ashamed if his son knew he had trespassed into the room.


"Why try? Papa why come out of their room directly elus chest?"


Azka pulled his wife and put her against the wall. "They do this, Ma," Azka kissed Nagita's lips. And when they let each other go. Nagita.


"Me-mer-they kiss, Pa?"


Azka nodded, Nagita held both of her cheeks and smiled. "Papa did not ask Mama to sleep," he protested.


"They're husband and wife, what's in the peep-peek? After all we also have no one to peek at, Ma," said Azka while pulling his wife's nose.


"Papa's getting dirty,"


"Papa's happy they're back, and hopefully Rey will continue the marriage. And no longer married in series,"


"May Pa,"


"If this is the case, it will be a young Grandpa" said Azka scratching her head.


"Let's, what matters is that our child is happy,"


"We should be the ones with the kids, shouldn't we, Ma?" candelessly.


"You have a granddaughter, Pa," replied Nagita and went straight out of the room. "Call them yuk, have dinner first! The twins are waiting downstairs."
