EX (SHACKLE OF FIRST LOVE)
168. Welcome home

As he said, Anton took the time to meet the man in the photo. They had made an appointment at a cafe not far from Anton's Workshop.

"Are you Mr Anton?"

Someone said hello when Anton just ordered a cup of coffee at the cafe waiter.

"Anton alone." The man reached out to the man who greeted him then smiled amiably.

The man who had deliberately come to fulfill the appointment with Anton sat down after welcoming Anton's hand.

"I'm Radja."

"Yes, I already know your name" Anton said. "What do you want to drink?" tanyanya.

"Anything."

Anton again called the waiter with a hand gesture, then the man named Radja ordered a glass of iced coffee.

"Actually, I'm still wondering, why would you want to meet me? Feelings, we've never known before" Radja later said.

"I'd like to thank you for meeting my invitation today" Anton said.

"Yes, it doesn't matter, because it's Saturday, my schedule is empty and I think you want to know something from me."

Anton nodded, in the next split second, he took out a photo that had already been printed. "What's in this photo is really you, right?" he told Radja.

Radja looks at the photo, then wonders why he could be in Anton's grasp.

"True this is me and this is my lover, Daisy."

Anton mangosteen, then showed another photo that looked the same but Radja's face was edited with Sky's face.

"How come? Does this mean my photo was edited? Did someone use it?" radja asked after realizing the situation.

"Yes, if you don't think you're intentionally editing the photo, I want to know who took advantage of your photo to turn your face in the photo into the face of my sister-in-law."

...****...

A few days later, Sky was allowed to return home. He felt uneasy at the Hospital and about his injuries, he himself was confused why after experiencing the near-death experience, all the wounds in his body seemed insignificant again. It was not that he did not feel any pain, it was just that his condition could be said to be improving drastically.

There are still wounds on Sky's head and chest that must be replaced every three days because the wound did not dry out completely.

"Alright, Doctor. We will contact the Hospital to help replace my husband's bandage every three days" said Yara, who listened to the doctor's explanation.

That day, they finally went home and it turned out that their arrival was greeted with great fanfare.

Indri deliberately arranged and arranged the decorations aided by Bi Sri, Bi Dima and the two little boys who were his grandchildren, Aura and Cean-special of these two, the, actually not really help but even make the situation more messy. But Indri still said this thanks to their help so that the two boys were happy for his efforts.

"Welcome home, Papa!!!" The cheers of those at home also enlivened Sky's return home.

There are simple decorations with balloons of letters arranged to form the inscription 'Welcome Home Papa' and they also welcome the sound of a colorful mini trumpet.

Before long, a balloon was also deliberately detonated, so as to remove a lot of small papers that glittered and rained down on the head of Sky who had just set the floor of the house.

"Well, Papa feels like a birthday again," Sky's great-granddaughter who is in a sitting position using a wheelchair.

Yara and the others laughed happily because of Sky's seemingly happy response to this welcome.

"Thank you, I'm so happy to be back home." Sky looked up at Yara who was standing behind her wheelchair. He grasped the fingers of Yara who was holding onto his shoulders.

"Thank you also because you still want to go back home for all of us" Yara said with teary eyes.

Sky continued to look at everyone there who was now welcoming him.

"Ma, thank you so much for bothering all this for me. This must be Mama's plan."

Indri smiled warmly, he nodded his head. "Welcome back, son. We always wait for you to come home. Don't go too long" he said with a twinkle full of eyes.

Sky grimaced restrained, but he knew his two sons and daughters wanted to do this since coming to the Hospital the other day, he endured his pain and allowed his children to vent their longing.

"Papa don't come again yeah." Aura caressed Sky's face with sad throbbing lips.

"Don't hurt Papa anymore." Cean chimed in, he was the one who most tightly hugged the waist of the Father.

"Yes, pray Papa is healthy. Can you pray yet?"

"Can dong, Pa!" sahut Aura's.

"Cean has also prayed, Pa." Cean did not want to lose.

"Yes, come on. We had lunch together. Bi Sri Sama Bi Dima has cooked well today." Yara interrupted Sky's conversation with her two children.

They flock to the dining room area and sit around the dining table that is filled with delicious side dishes.

"Well, I miss home cooking. Especially my wife's cooking" Sky said happily.

"Yes, I'll make it for you every day again. But, for now the food you can consume is still limited. So be patient..." Yara poked Sky's cheeks with a seductive smile. Sky took a long breath.

...***...

"You know, this is what I miss the most" said Yara, who is currently lying next to her husband in their private room. It had been too long since I was this close to Sky. "I don't know what would happen if you didn't exist. I don't want to imagine anymore, because yesterday it was .. your time ..." Yara didn't continue her sentence, she couldn't.

"Udah, don't remember anymore." Sky tried to calm Yara who began to want to sob if she remembered Sky who had stopped breathing.

"Where can I eat it, dear."

"Yes, consider that a lesson for us. I also want to learn to be better because--" Suddenly, Sky remembers what he saw at that time, where he was given a spectacle of how heaven and hell were.

"By the way, what were you feeling at the time?"

"Okay, it's hard to express. Everything is like a dream. I'm just gonna see what heaven and hell are like."

Yara tightened her arms around Sky's stomach and replied to the man by stroking Yara's head gently.

"Keep, how did you feel after that?"

Sky chuckled at a glance. "Yes, honestly I'm afraid of going to hell, honey. And obviously I want to go to heaven, but I don't feel worthy" he explained.

"If so, we fix ourselves together to become a better person."

"I'm happy if you want to take the positive side of yesterday's events."

"Hmm, hopefully we can be worthy people in His heaven. Fix yourself and be a good parent to Aura and Cean."

"Amijn ..."

In the silence of the night, they tell each other and complain about each other. If Sky were to tell the story, Yara would listen carefully, and vice versa. They also give better advice to do. Are we not married to complement and accept each other? That is what is their habit during the household.

"Ah yes, that's Mas Anton call, he said .. he already knows who sent the photo edit at that time."

"Oh yeah? How come you didn't tell me?"

"Because it was busy with the kids, so forget it." Yara stroked the jaw of the husband who had been overgrown with fine hair because he had not shaved.

"Certainly? What did Anton say? Who's the guy?"
