Theo walked hand in hand with Ana clinging to his arm. They walked slowly but surely towards the pelaminan. The distance from the room where Ana and the room where the event was held seemed to be further from the original distance as if the feeling of her heavy heart releasing Ana weighed down on each step. The first time they set foot on the main door, the noisy atmosphere instantly turned silent. And in the middle of the room, he saw Thomas waiting for them, not exactly waiting for him but waiting for Ana. The face was full of happiness, how not, soon Thomas will inaugurate the marriage with Ana. Any couple who loves each other will surely be happy with this union. A happiness that leaves sorrow for a few unwilling people, people like him.
Theo's face tightened, his heart seething as he looked at the happiness on Thomas's face. He doesn't want this bully to get Ana. He looked at the woman beside him. The previously boiling heart full of anger instantly came to a halt as it looked at Ana with its sweet smile, ignored her and looked straight ahead. That sweet smile was aimed at Thomas, Ana seemed impatient to get there, to where Thomas was waiting for her. But Theo was a little stubborn, he still slowed his pace, as if he did not want to let their happiness. A wild thought approached his brain, how about he pull Ana's hand, and run away. Locking Ana up somewhere in a remote part of the world and keeping Ana for herself, she will not share Ana with anyone. But that ridiculous thought instantly came to a halt as his eyes clattered with a pair of clear greenish eyes, as if those eyes carried a resounding chill. The eyes are not shiny in a beautiful sense because they are glazed. Although the owner of the eye smiled at him but Theo knew there was pain there. The owner of the eye hugged his distended stomach with both hands as if he wanted to protect the little creature that was behind it.
The pain of seeing the sight made Theo realize that he was in front of Thomas, who was waiting for him to hand Ana over to Thomas. With a deep breath Theo strengthened his heart and handed Ana to Thomas.
βThank you,β Thomas said as he placed Ana's hand on his arm and they walked towards the pelaminan without looking back at Theo again.
No less many times Wendy had to succumb to him, his selfish decisions, his true nature, also lack of care. All were accepted by his wife without complaining. And today it seems he has hurt his wife. Because when he approached, Wendy just smiled thinly and looked back at the wedding procession. Really dilemma. It is still struggling with the past. Before he thought that he had forgotten his despair then that, but it turned out his mind was wrong. Once he held the future in front of him, now the past gnawed at him from within. Oh, dearGod. How can I live like this, he lamented in his heart.
Theo looked at his wife once more. He did not dare to ask, he could only pretend not to see the sadness in those eyes and immediately linked his hand to his wife's hand. He promises inwardly that he will fix his love story with Wendy from the beginning, though a little late, he knows his wife has done everything to get his heart. Now it was his turn to repay all his wife's love and patience. He will not waste his wife anymore.
