Your Heart&My Heart
Reasons to Marry You

"All I can give is happiness." ~ Adikara Suryo.

...***...

"Ma ... Arun can't be like this. Why don't you wait for Arun to come first. Why don't you give Arun a chance to say the last word from Arun, ma. Why ma ...."

The sound of sobs Arunika Baskoro echoed filling the VIP room where mama—Arun was treated with an unstable condition since the day before exhaling last. Actually, Adikara already knew it from Boy, after being contacted by phone. At the request of her sister-in-law, Adikara hid the news from Arun.

Heavy, honestly very heavy for Adikara did not wake Arun in deep sleep, after he got bad news from the Arun family. Moreover, a pair of eyes that were closed with shade beside his body, made a memory of himself in childhood. The smile that was reviewed from Arun's lips for the mother during their marriage took place, also flashed clearly filled the eyes of Adikara.

Slowly, Adikara's straight hand touched Arun's shoulder which went up and down due to sobs. The sound of Arun's roar continued to penetrate into Adikara's sense of hearing. Yeah, that's just how men seem to provide comfort.

"Run, my mom said it to my sister before she left, if she was sincere. So, you also have to be sincere about the departure of your mother, Dek," Arini said between tears. Although Arini also felt devastated about the departure of the mother-in-law who had been living together at the Arun family residence, since she married Boy almost a year more. For Arini herself— her father-in-law is a good figure. Never once hurt his heart.

"Sister, Brother. Arun is not yet sincere. Arun still needs mama ...."

Arun's body almost collapsed on the side of the patient's bed, thankfully Adikara's hand quickly accommodated and pulled back into the deck, until Arun's head touched the chest of his field. That was the reason Adikara this morning, asked Arun to eat a lot because he did not want Arun to faint to find bad news.

"Bring Arun out of here, Bro," said Boy after escaping the door and going inside.

Adikara momentarily highlighted the arrival of the tall man slightly contained it, and nodded later. After that, Adikara lowered her face to meet Arun's face down there.

"Come," he asked.

Arun shook his head and withdrew from within Adikara's arms. "I don't want to. I still want to be here."

"Come on, Run, you need a break, too. Now that you're home, we need to get ready for the mourners to come to our house" Boy said.

"I still want to be here, Bang. I want to see Mama."

Adikara does not wait for permission from Arun. He again linked his fingers between Arun's fingers. "Don't do this. I know you're sad. When you get home, you can still see your mom. Here, there's still a lot to take care of your brother, Run."

Slowly Arun's face leads to Adikara. Both eyes that still shed clear fluid, now swell and redden in the eyelid area. Arun's mouth was still tightly closed. He did not take out a word at this time.

Adikara's gaze again asked expectantly, after he was persuading a small child now.

"Sad can be, Run. But, let your brother finish everything here. We wait at home and take care of everything else. Ehemmm ...."

Just a day with Arun, making Adikara waste a lot of words, this is not the real Adikara. And the man understood very well what he was doing now.

"Yes, Run. You two are also still tired, we go home yuk," Arini invited attention.

"Aryan brother came too?" Arun's voice sounded very raucous.

Arini nodded. "Yes, Deck."

After feeling confident, Arun finally gave up in the hands of Adikara. The man now led him to walk out of the room. The two eyes barely shook the face of his mother who was still lying there no longer alive.

"Get my car, bro," said Boy, giving the keys to the car before they left.

"We're home, Bro."

"Extrous. I'm taking my wife and sister."

Adikara just nodded, and pulled back Auri while pulling her suitcase. They are now out of the room to the elevator and parking area.

Dusk now filled the sky that stretched wide in the burial area. The younger sister still faithfully stood beside Arun, who did not want to go home after all the mourners and family left the funeral of the mother, right next to her late father.

His brother who felt unbearable with the wife who was pregnant, also chose to go home first. It has been almost an hour Adikara accompanied Arun. Heard the young woman crying, roaring, even grievous words. My sister can't do much. He was silent, and did not disturb Arun in venting grief.

How not, Adikara knew that Arun had been living in Jakarta far from his family. The woman will go home once a month, to see her mother's condition with coronary heart disease and complications with other diseases. So, Adikara knows very well what it feels like to be Arun. Little sister was in that position, unlike Arun accused her of.

Arun who had been bowed down to immerse his face on the grave ground, also pulled his face slowly.

"If you want to go home, go home first. I still want to be here."

"Agh, you want to be with the ghosts here? Okay .. I'm home. It's almost dark" Adikara said trying to rotate the body also advancing steps. "Agh." The sister screeched while bowing.

Arun immediately stood up from his seat approaching the bowed sister while touching both knees.

"Mas ... Why, Mas?" Arun who also felt weak to strengthen himself to meet the husband.

"Agh, this is very painful. My feet are many ants" said Adikara closed his eyes to endure pain.

Arun grasped Adikara's arm, and invited her to sit down for a moment. "Come, we'll sit down first."

Adikara's eyelids open perfectly. At first glance he found Arun's eyes which are now like mashed.

"We go home" replied Adikara now.

"Just for a minute."

Inevitably, Adikara complied with Arun. His wife asked him to sit for a while straightening his legs in the middle of the graves of Arun's parents. The two of them sat down side by side, and spoke no words. My sister was busy touching both her legs.

"I'm sorry, Mom." After a few minutes of silence, Arun finally opened his voice.

He looked towards Arun. "For?"

Without returning Adikara's gaze, Arun again said, "because it has let Mas stand since then."

"No problem."

Back Adikara stared at his feet. While Arun himself, carrying a face looking towards Adikara after knowing the man was no longer looking at her.

"Are you angry?"

Adikara only shook her head in silence, making Arun dwell again in grief.

"Tomorrow I'll bring you back here. Now, I want you to go home. Cleaning yourself, at least filling the stomach also refreshes your esophagus. You have to remember the reason I married you, it's all because mom wanted me to take care of you. So, I beg you not to make me break the promise with him," Adikara said at length, staring fixedly at Arun.

Arun again shed tears when remembering his marriage. Is this the reason you were in such a hurry to ask her to get married? Now Arun already knows the answer, why the mother lately terrorized to quickly get married. Perhaps, he had already felt a sign of his life. Or, Arun also did not know that the condition of the mother had indeed worsened.

"Thank you, Mom."

"For?"

"Because I want to accept my mother's request for the last time."

"It's not all because of mom."

Back Arun meets Adikara's black eyes. "I mean, Mas?"

The sister thrust naps into the air. "Let's go home."

Adikara stood up first while patting the buttocks area, clearing the sticky ground, without waiting for Arun to follow her immediately walking away from the cemetery.

...Seriate....
