The Romance After Marriage
3.5 | C: a Promise

Kyra -

Before long, it crossed my mind about a cell phone that was in my pajama pocket. Then I pulled it out. I looked at the dark screen of the phone before I finally decided to draw a password and touched the screen swiftly.

Clik.

Then I put the phone to my ear. Just pause for a moment and the call was instantly answered.

"Assalamu'alaikum, hello... Delvin?" Sapaku.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, hi candidates..." The sweet-ass reply.

I kept silent for a moment thinking about the words that kept spinning in my head.

"Vin, can we call you for a second? What bother? You haven't reached home yet??"

"Not yet, it's still on the road, still driving. But if you want a phone call really can, will not disturb. I'll wear a loudspeaker, anyway,"

"Oh, that's it... Okay." Okay." My reply.

I heard his noise as he put on a silly grin like he already did. Delvin answered me with his smile, I know.

But for a moment I was silent. And so did Delvin, who kept quiet as if he was waiting for me to talk.

"Are you okay?" Suddenly asked.

"Again a bit upset." My answer.

"Why? Because Ez..."

"No, Kamil!" I hastily cut out the sentence before he said the name. The name that had scratched the wound in my heart was quite large.

"Oh, why? Stumped again?"

I took a long breath. "Yes, that's it, Mas Kamil is someone who likes to mengeselin right?!"

"If I?" Suddenly he asked. Makes me cringe inside.

"Lo why??" My toot.

"Still mengeselin, isn't it?" Ask again.

"Hm, how are you?" I pretended to think hard. "It looks like it's part of your pulse, Vin..."

I unconsciously smiled and heard it too. Imagining Delvin frowning while pecking by putting up his appearance was apparently able to make me a little entertained.

And instantly, the memories of the past came to me like a roller coaster. Very fast and fast. I even stunned myself when I remembered it.

It may...

I can forget all the positives from Delvin all this time! Kyra....!!

Delvin, although he always seems to be fighting me, is the one who can always be the friend who stays by my side at every opportunity even though I never invite him once. He gave me a little bit of strength when I was down. Recall that? Even recently she had caught up with me to my hiding place when I heard the news of Bang Ezra's courtship.

All this time... Delvin was always by my side. Good when I like my pain. Somehow there's always Delvin in every memory of it. But why did I just realize it??

"Hey, how did he? Sleep??" Reprovedly.

I took a long breath. Before the end, "Vin,"

"Np? Oh, thank God, Kirain has gone to sleep without her voice..." He chuckles alone. Makes me smile thin.

"It turns out you've always been by my side all this time." Unknowingly my tears were falling and rushing. "I'm sorry, Vin,"

"Huh?" Delvin was silent for a moment, until he continued. "Wait a minute, you cry??"

I didn't mind the question and I'd rather put everything on my mind right now. "I'm sorry, Vin, I promise after this I'll study hard to be a good partner for you..."

"Hey... Hey.." -..." His voice was a deep worry. Maybe because of hearing this unbearable voice of my voice. "Where are you now? I'm following you?"

"I'm sorry, Vin,"

"Udah dong don't cry that, I'm worried to hear it. Now I feel like I'm speeding up if the streets aren't this tight!"

Again, I don't heed all his words. All I care about is my heart, which I have to tell him. Because this is so chest tight!

"I'm sorry... Who now even nangisin another guy in front of his own future husband, sorry I... Because it's too tight to hold for much longer... Hix... Hicks..." Finally the cry broke out as well. I'm losing. I've lost!

"..."

I understand that Delvin didn't answer. He must be upset, right? I certainly wouldn't blame him if he was offended by my confession just now.

"Yes..." Instantly I was stunned when I heard his heavy voice again. Turns out he answered me.

"Just cry, let's get everybody to be relieved, okay?" He said in a calm tone. As I grow weary with my own cries.

That night, in an uninterrupted phone call for 2 hours, a man across there only listened to the voice of this interlocutor so patiently that then the cry stopped with a subtle snore. It was me who fell asleep involuntarily after being tired of crying.
