The shadow of Sarah and Nurbanu was faint from behind the glazed look of Lilis's eyes and was standing in the doorway of Nurbanu's room with both hands clutched together. The taste of blue and gray haru mixed into one-full of Lilis' mind.
"Are you ready?" sarah asked after confirming one of the straps of her daughter's bag was draped on her shoulder.
"Already, Ma," answered Nurbanu, plain.
"Come, we're leaving!"
"Yes, Ma."
Sarah stood up straight. While holding Nurbanu's one hand, the two left the room that had been inhabited by the little boy.
Can not bear the sorrow of the departure of the child, LiIis also cried bitterly. She confronted Sarah and Nurbanu with tears of divorce on her cheeks.
"Mr Sarah ... Banu .. hiks .. hiks...."
"Sister Lilis..," call Nurbanu. The intonation was sad, making LiIis's cry even more broken.
"Hiks .. hiks ... hiks...." Several times LiIis gently rubbed Nurbanu's head. Actually not willing to be left even though they just separated the house. However, LiIis came to Shehan's house because she worked as a baby sitter caring for Nurbanu.
Iba, Sarah approached Lilis and hugged her lovingly. "Lilis, I hope our lives will be better after this. Let me take Nurbanu to stay with me. Come another time whenever you want. My door is always wide open for you."
"Hiks .. hiks .. hiks .. forgive me if there's something wrong with looking after Nurbanu, Sarah's sister."
One point Sarah's tears fell. Sarah wiped it off immediately. "No, Lilis. You are a good connecting mother. I'm thinking you're my replacement-treating Nurbanu as long as I can't take care of him." Sarah's voice shook as she said that.
"Sister Lilis," call Nurbanu again.
The attention of the two women was distracted.
"Yes, honey!" Lekas LiIis kneels in front of the child.
"Sorry Banu if Banu is naughty, Brother. Banu wants to stay with Mama now. Sis Lilis comes to Mama's house sometime. Let's play together again."
Inner LiIis was filled, the tears that had been held back from earlier were more and more jostling to come out. Time and again Lilis wiped off that patter. But, it doesn't stop. LiIis granted the child's request he continued with a chest of air.
"Yes, Banu. Brother Lilis will come to see Nurbanu later."
Nurbanu suddenly wrapped his tiny hands around Lilis. Lilis replied with a tight hug and an affectionate kiss on Nurbanu's head.
Dreeett's....
What remained now was the sound of the roar of the dragged suitcase wheel, accompanying the sobs of LiIis who had not yet subsided. It was time for Sarah and Nurbanu to leave the residence of the foreign investor-Shehan Murad. A lot has happened in that house. All the memories of joy and sorrow are neatly stored within the walls of time.
Lilis waved as the car carrying Sarah and Nurbanu was about to leave and started driving towards the main gate of the house. In the next minute the sighting of the four-wheeled vehicle disappeared behind the bend of the fence.
Shehan was also saddened by Nurbanu's departure. He looked behind the glass window of the main room on the second floor of the house. Not coming downstairs because Shehan knew he could change his mind - not allowing Sarah to take their daughter. Shehan refrained from being selfish.
Lilis re-entered the house with the rest of her tears occasionally dripping down. The atmosphere of the house now feels lonely. There was no longer the carefree laughter Nurbanu often heard LiIis. Once LiIis looked back as she was already tracking down the middle of the stairs. All LiIis found was silence. Lilis then turned-towards the main room, the place where Shehan was.
Chequek!
When the door opened, Lilis found Shehan standing and greeted her with both hands outstretched.
"Come, LiIis! I want to hug you."
A moment Lilis flinching. His heart and desire cannot be in line. Lilis did not want to cry anymore, but her eyes twinkled back in tears. Once Lilis swung her weak steps tracing the floor. Followed by a second weak move. After that Lilis ran a little scatter-hugging her husband.
"Mas Shehan's...." Lilis buried her face in Shehan's neck. Pouring all lara.
"I love you. Stay by my side. All seasons and times come and go. I hope your feelings for me will never change. Stay my LiIis like this."
"Hiks .. hiks ... hiks...."
Lilis was unable to reply to Shehan's words. Unable to talk lips. He just kept hugging Shehan tightly. Really don't want to get away. Really don't want to be apart.
'Can I still be happy again? My feeling is so amazing. Smells the scent of this man. The warmth of this man. He-shehan Murad, the man who shackled my body. Now I fly like a butterfly flapping its wings. Dancing freely in a beautiful flower field.'
'Can I still be happy again?'
Shehan stretched his arms. He looked at his wife with deep eyes and started talking about her wishes.
"Lilis, do you still have the hairpin I gave you?"
Lilis remembers Shehan once gave her a hairpin with a sprinkling of jewels. Shehan said the hairpin was a wedding gift he gave personally. The incident felt long enough, precisely before the presence of Jesslyn and until now LiIis still keep it.
"Yes, Mas. I remember."
Shehan tucked a bunch of Lilis hair dangling on the cheek into the back of the ear attentively.
"I've never seen you wear that hairpin. Would you like to have dinner with me and use that hairpin?"
"Yes, Mum." Lilis looked at Shehan with smiling eyes. She no doubt accepted her husband's invitation.
Long after Shehan gave the hairpin, Lilis also invited dinner in return for a gift for Shehan. However, a tragedy occurred that caused the dinner to fail.
Is it now a romantic dinner with the husband that LiIis hoped would be possible?
**
Shehan empties out a beachfront restaurant by ordering all the tables for guests. He wanted his dinner with LiIis to be perfect. There were only the two of them as well as candlelight and soothing music.
After the shower, Lilis prepared herself. Wearing the amethyst-dress purple dress that Shehan first bought for her first. At that time they were not married. Lilis deliberately chose the dress because she wanted to remember her love trip with Shehan.
LiIis natural makeup theme apply on face. Also perfume to make the appearance more charming. Lilis came out of the main room in a beautiful form. Slowly walk up to the floor gracefully.
Shehan's waiting for his wife at the restaurant. Not just dressed formally, Shehan chose to wear his favorite suit. He wanted to spend some special time with Lilis. Half an hour of Shehan waiting. An hour later passed.
Shehan looked at the circular watch on his left wrist, the time of which was almost nine p.m. Supposedly the dinner with Lilis had started since seven o'clock this evening.
Keep waiting, that's what Shehan is doing right now. Just like that time, when LiIis invited Shehan to dinner together, what Lilis did was also to keep waiting.
Ddrrt .. ddrrtt....
The sudden ringing of a cell phone rang out instantly jolting Shehan's wait. A line of unknown numbers is displayed on the screen. Shehan researched the numbers for a moment and then received a phone call on the third ring.
"Hello...."
"........."
Shehan's calmness turned to ice. He listened to someone talking from across the street.

SERIATE...
