"The bitter taste of the herbs is no more bitter than the lies I have made to you, so ... Don't blame the jamu but ... Blame me, Layla".
*****
"I'm sorry, Layla" Inner Helmi
"I promise, I will change for all" Helmi who tightened her embrace on Layla who was still sobbing crying in the arms of regret Helmi who never stopped until this moment.
******
"Layla" call gently Helmi
"Yes,mas" Layla replies with a sobbing that turns Helmi's heart upside down
With a sad look, while staring at the face that will age together, dazed with the desire to express all the regrets that have hit, but ... Unfortunately, it is still only a mere wishful thinking
"Layla, can I ask you one wish?"ask Helmi while gently holding Layla's hand
Layla simply replied with a gentle nod
"What ... I can ask you, never cry again, it all makes me more crowded, Layla"
"Can you grant my wish?"ask Helmi with words of love that have so culminated to Layla
Layla replied back with a nod, saying in a still sobbing tone as a result of the cry of love for Helmi
"I_yes mas"balas Layla.

"I just want to make you happy Layla, with a little surprise surprise that was memorable in our household, though ... I have absolutely no idea what will happen to us in the future, I will only ask the almighty, so that we can still stay together, he said, living the old days happily with our grandchildren later."
*****
"Don't cry anymore well"Helmi who immediately wiped the tears that were still effective on Layla's cheeks with great affection
Layla just gave a nod.
*****
"Oh well, you try to drink this herbal medicine well" Helmi who gives traditional herbal medicine that she has ordered to her friends
Layla nodded slowly
Helmi can feel if Layla actually has never drank traditional herbal medicine, it is all clearly visible from the radiance of Layla's agitated face
With a sweet smile, Helmi gave a glass of traditional herbal medicine to Layla who was so nervous about the taste of herbal medicine that she would drink.
******
"Ohhh, I never drink herbal medicine again, but ... If not drink it ... Mas Helmi will be disappointed with me"in Layla who does not want her husband disappointed, because it has bought the traditional herbal medicine for himself
Just smelling the distinctive aroma of traditional herbal medicine, suddenly Layla immediately nauseous, as if Layla's stomach would vomit out when just smelling the distinctive aroma of traditional herbal medicine
Helmi just smiled anxiously at Layla's behavior which according to her is still so stiff as to speak openly to herself
"Why he didn't tell me anyway, if he'd never drank herbal medicine"
"It's still worth it to try to drink the herbs again" said Helmi who was so anxious to see Layla's behavior.
*****
Long enough Layla only holds one glass of traditional herbal medicine, with a feeling so afraid to try to drink herbal medicine for the first time in her life
Didn't want Layla to feel afraid to try drinking traditional herbal medicine, Helmi immediately gives a soft kiss on Layla's lips and it all makes Layla's cheeks again blush instead of playing when Helmi gives a kiss so spontaneously on her
Helmi's kiss makes Layla want to vomit because apart from the kiss, Helmi also gives traditional herbal medicine through her mouth directly into Layla's mouth when Helmi gives the kiss
Helmi, who felt that Layla was vomiting because she had just tried to drink traditional herbal medicine, tightened the hugs and kisses, hoping that Layla would not stop for a kiss
Layla was forced to try to swallow traditional herbal medicine that was given directly by Helmi's mouth to her
"Where's the jamu?"ask Helmi who spontaneously made Layla's cheeks again blush
Layla could only shut up when she heard the question from her husband
"Why don't you tell me anyway, if you haven't been drinking jamu with me?"ask Helmi who had noticed Layla's strange attitude from the beginning
"Sorry, mas" replied Layla
"Now, I didn't say well, don't ever apologize to me, you're never Layla's fault, I'm the only one who's always wrong with you, I'm the only one who deserves your apology"helmi
"You're never wrong with me, why do you have to apologize?"
"I should, I still can't be the perfect wife to you, my condition is flawed like this, but ... You still want to accept and love your blind wife"
"I'm sorry I couldn't be perfect for you, ma'am"
"And I thank you for loving me with this physical disability, ma'am" said Layla, who felt so lucky to have Helmi as her husband
Helmi was so touched by the words of Layla, then muttered regretting all the actions she had done so far
"I'm sorry, Layla, if I had the courage to say, if your husband is such a jerk, such a useless husband to my perfect wife!"inner Helmi who still does not have the courage to say all her.
*****
What have I been doing all this time, why didn't I fall in love with you earlier?
Why ...
Why am I only now beginning to realize that you are so perfect as a wife to this son of a bitch!
What have I done?
Why would I make those tears fall one day
Whyyy?!
Why am I falling in love with you now, Layla?, my perfect wife.
*****
Helmi reaches out to Layla's soft cheeks and speaks words of love to Layla
"Layla my dear"
"Layla is my perfect wife, how lucky I am to be able to keep you as my life partner"
"My dear Layla will accompany me until this skin wrinkles one day"
"The sweet smile on my wife's face, which became a sedative in my heart, became the most powerful move of my life"
"Layla I love, the perfect wife who has brought me closer to God, the thing I hated the most in the past"
"Is it wrong for me to call you my dear Layla?"
"What's wrong with me apologizing to you all the time, to my perfect wife named Layla"
"You're so perfect as my wife, Layla"
"Don't ever say if you're not perfect Layla, those words just deserve me"
"I am still imperfect as your husband, as your leader"
"I'm sorry, Layla" Helmi who kissed Layla's forehead with great affection, the feeling of love that finally revealed to Layla so perfectly.
