EMBRACING LOVE
There's a Lost Sense
There's a Lost Flavor
Sarah packed her things. There wasn't much he had brought, just a small backpack. The rest of the clothes left behind he left stored in Satrio's closet.
Yesterday while in the middle of the Satrio family, my sister-in-law brought him some dry food boxes.
" To set a few days dik.." said Mbak Wulan while thrusting a box of beef rendang contents.
"That's very fragrant. Thanks yo.." said Sarah
" bune Jelita makes dry tempeh Dik. Same sambel terasi, Sarah likes a pedes right..?" Astuti also handed over two clear boxes containing their signature food.
With a happy smile Sarah packed the boxes and put them in a special bag that she prepared.
The sweet attention of the Satrio family made it feel hard to leave.
"I will miss you so much." said Sarah.
Satrio was sitting in a chair not far from them interacting.
His heart moved, not feeling tears dripping from the corner of his eyes.
" It feels tight, why does my chest hurt so much." He murmured in his heart.
The beautiful woman will leave him again.
Three years is a long time
"Can't your sister give up and stay to settle down." Satrio told Sarah a few days ago.
" Don't you please. I need a sister as a companion. I'm afraid that in your absence you'll be weak.." Satrio's application was only answered with a headband.
Sarah's decision is not about herself.
His power as an Analyst in the Hospital laboratory is needed.
His contract has just been renewed, it will be a huge loss if it has to be decided. It is not easy to get a job with a position as good as that, as well as co-workers who are like family.
*****
They were at Ahmad Yani Airport. It's still a few minutes away. Sarah looked over at the departure gate. There was no Satrio from some of his introductions.
The flashback
" I can't drive you. There's an impromptu meeting on campus." Satrio said last night. And early in the morning Satrio had already left. Just hugs and kisses ending. No goodbye hugs.
"Yes, um."
Sarah tightened her embrace. Dunked her face in the chest of her husband's field. His heart also felt tight. A growing sense of love must wither because of a separation.
" Save my sister here.." Sarah said, rubbing her husband's chest.
Satrio kissed the head of the woman who had given happiness to him.
" If your heart wavers, call your sister immediately. Let's keep our hearts together." Said Sarah.
"We'll survive, we can.."
Satrio refused to answer. Actually there is anger in his wife, but how else, this woman is so kekeh maintain and choose her career.
A sense of growing in his heart, a sense of being unappreciated, not considered.
Flashback off
Satrio turned back the file in front of him. His heart was agitated as if something was missing. His mind was somewhere else. Until the meeting was over he still could not master his anxiety.
"Satrio sir there might be an idea for the event we're going to have..?" Tanya Retno, the head of the PR department. He is also the son of the rector of this college.
Retno had long paid attention to Satrio. As a fellow Lecturer who is single, Satrio includes a favorite Lecturer both among students and among colleagues.
No one could resist Satrio's charm, especially his sharp eyes.
Satrio's past, which traveled from girl to girl, got lost into promiscuity, forgetting the teachings of religion.
Working in a private company, earning a fantastic salary, friends who are ready at any time to accompany him have fun.
Fuckin' Satrio, almost every weekend squanders his money for fun and women.
Until an incident resuscitates him and returns him to the right path. Two years of futile time devoted to lust.
A kiyai took him inside the pesantren that night.
At that time he was heavy, his friends left him.
Luckily the atmosphere of pesantren and the upbringing of the kiyai brought him back to the right path.
He shuddered if he remembered his own behavior in the past.
Her parents told her to recain and return to her hometown. A good career he left.
Start again from zero, continue S2 lectures and apply as a lecturer at one of the local Universities. Luckily, he was easily accepted.
Now that he's here, it's become an important pivot part of the campus wheel turnaround. Almost all activities require recommendations.
" Mother Retno.." slightly surprised Satrio raised his head. The beautiful woman was still waiting for her answer.
"This time I vote for the majority. All plans look good." Satrio
"Sorry Mom if I can leave the room immediately. There's something I have to pursue." Retno seemed disappointed by Satrio's decision. It means to be more linger with him.
Satrio packed his files. Take his bag and it passes. There are still 15 minutes before Sarah's departure. Hopefully we can catch up with him.
🤎🤎🤎🤎
A heart filled with love
Not willing to separate.
The thirsty raga will caress
A soul that longs for seduction
My eyes and heart are on you
Only you one
I want to get your hand
I held it tight no longer I could take it off.
