Cahya Looking for Light
The Luminous Jewelry

"Let's meet Sari" Devan said that afternoon

"No, there's no need anymore" Cahya replied briefly without explaining her reason.

Cahya busied herself with her work editing the script of the online novel as usual, Devan was upset to see it because since the arrival of Sari to meet Cahya made his wife like ice cubes, very cold.

Cahya did not reject his touch but it felt different for Devan, because his wife was silent as if there was no soul or feeling, asked to answer rigidly but if not asked his wife would just be quiet, just be quiet, unlike the usual who are cheerful and often sing or hum.

"Ok Ayy, yes, sorry I was wrong, already yes don't keep going like this" said Devan, but Cahya remained silent not responding to anything and continued to focus on his laptop, he said, Devan grew furious and immediately grabbed his wife's laptop and kept it, but it remained the same because Cahya did not react anything and just remained silent not whining as usual when Devan was ignorant.

Cahya got up from her seat and walked to the kitchen, the atmosphere was gripping for Devan to see his wife who continued to ignore him, Devan could persuade her if his wife was sulking or angry but if it was like this, if it was like this, Devan doesn't know what to do.

Cringe cring

"Yes hello Her, what's up? I've finished everything yesterday, just a little more today"

"Tomorrow to come to restaurant XZ, will there be a meeting of fellow editors?" ask Herie

"Yes of course, bye"

Cahya put back her phone and continued preparing for lunch, Devan approached her and hugged her, there was no typical rejection of Cahya when hugged while busy, Cahya was really like a robot that had no feelings.

"Oh, that's enough!" shouting Devan was angry, he increasingly did not understand what he had to do, Devan then called someone

"Find the woman and take her to the restaurant across our cafe, call me as soon as you find her"

Cahya had promised herself that she would never run away from Devan again but she was just an ordinary woman, the pain of her heart she endured and fortified herself in her silence.

The next night Devan is contacted by his man if he has found Sari, Devan invites Cahya to meet him so that Sari explains everything to Cahya but Cahya does not want to.

"Ayy, the woman will explain everything" asked Devan but Cahya did not want to and continued to shake her head when invited, finally Devan left alone, Cahya crying alone after Devan's departure.

"I don't want to see him but Devan keeps wanting to see him, what they want to do is actually nights like this" Cahya said and wiped her tears.

Cahya is a very stubborn type, she always concludes things herself without even listening to other people's explanations.

Devan meets Sari and gives her the ATM again, because Devan has given her no return

"Find it as your severance pay because we've been working together all this time, and don't bother my wife anymore" Devan said

"Your wife is very funny yes, she looks innocent but very scary, I came to her kindly, for appreciating and respecting her, I felt uncomfortable using her husband's money, she said, but he was angry with me and beat me up, when you were only good to me" Sari said trying to lie

"Sorry, do you need money?" devan asked the waiter who was serving a welcome drink to him, the waiter nodded, Devan then gave the ATM card that he would give back to Sari

"Either there is still how much inside, use it properly, bill this table order, take it from there" Devan told the waiter and then gave the pin number of the card, then he asked the waiter to stay away first.

"My wife is a jewel to me, she's a jewel that always shines on me, and then you think I'm not keeping watch with my precious treasure? remember not to go near my wife again, if you hurt her again, I'll finish you off" Devan threatened to leave.

Sari fell silent not expecting Devan to love his wife so much, but because it made him want to get her more.

Devan went home and found his wife asleep on the couch, a few tears left, Devan felt the pain in his heart because his wife still always held her own feelings without wanting to tell or express her if not forced first.

"Was your childhood hard on Ayy, was no one able to listen to you back then, to make you this way?" devan wiped his wife's tears.

Devan realizes that his wife's mindset is different from others, because of his different childhood life, Cahya abandoned his father, did not get affection from both parents as a child, as a child, even had to be independent from childhood, humiliation because of his physique, all things Cahya pendam himself, until now he became a person like this.

Devan understands his wife, his attitude and nature and his mindset, it seems like Devan only has to be patient until his wife is willing to tell him about his feelings.

Devan does not wake his wife or carry her as usual into the room, Devan accompanies his wife, and sleeps under the sofa where Cahya is asleep.

When Cahya woke up in the middle of the night, she thought her husband hadn't come home because he didn't wake her or move her to the room, so Cahya, she always had negative thoughts of her own, she always had negative thoughts, though this time Devan did not move it because he was afraid his wife woke up as usual.

Cahya cried, still unaware that Devan was below her, Devan was shocked and woke up to hear the sound of crying and immediately sat checking on his wife, Cahya who was crying was shocked to see Devan and immediately fell silent, whether shocked by fear or embarrassment, just imagine that someone suddenly appears in front of the eyes at midnight, if Devan wears white clothes, Cahya must have screamed in fear.

"Why silence? just keep crying" said Devan smiling to see his wife, Devan happy because his wife spilled her feelings

"I've said, cry when you're sad, right now, just cry Ayy, and be angry if you're upset or disappointed, don't always hold your own feelings" Devan said.

Cahya blinked her eyes, Devan then approached his wife and tried to wipe away his wife's tears but her hands were brushed aside Cahya, not upset or angry Devan laughed at his wife's reaction.

Rather than Cahya receiving his touch but without feeling, it was better for him to be rejected like that since Devan could force his wife after.

"Ahaha, you've come back dear" said Devan continues to try to hold his wife, Cahya's refusal this time means he has opened his heart, he said, if it was like that it would be easy for Devan to explain to his wife, Cahya did not realize that her husband had understood her very well.

Devan tries to carry his wife to the room but Cahya does not want, Cahya's refusal is a spark for Devan, because Devan will instead continue to force him.

Devan managed to bring his wife into the room, Devan immediately hugged his wife tightly, Devan then returned to explain everything, Cahya listened in Devan's arms, that night his wife was back to normal, Devan became excited.

"Ayy, add again yes once, I miss you" said Devan after gushing his wife, saw Cahya shook his head, Devan was happy, even, but he ignored his wife's rejection and continued to do his wish again and again, it has been a few days that his wife just kept quiet without refusing or showing any response to him.

"Damn it turns out that here installed CCTV" said Sari slowly when checking the door of the apartment where Devan and Cahya lived that night after Devan left her at the restaurant, Sari then followed her.

"I have to do another way to separate them" inner Sari then left from there.
