FOR HER SAKE
S2 - Remember the Happiness He Gives To Forgive

Tiara is immersed in the piano. Played the song River Flows in You by his idol pianist-Yiruma.

Play with a slow tempo to the fastest tempo, as fast as the ability of his hand.

Piano is like his soul. He will forget everything when his lentic finger has danced on the piano keys. Close your eyes and enjoy your own game. Ordinarily.

The next song that accompanies his solitude is the song that mommy Shevi created. Here she can only feel how heavy mommy Shevi when pregnant and raising herself alone. She who gets assistance from her husband full during pregnancy and childbirth sometimes still complain.

For example, at this time. Alvaro is just busy working and has not been able to make time for him and the kids. And it's not every day either. Only certain moments.

But why is he so angry?

But no, which made her angry just because Alvaro said that there are many sweet women out there who often tease her husband.

And maybe if it was said when he was not angry and tired, he would just sneer and bend his face. It won't be like last night.

Tiara sighed. Again regretting his explosive attitude and easily provoked. Although here is not entirely a mistake in him.

Tiara shook her head hard. Is he really sorry or not? between regret and his high ego. He himself is confused.

***

After making sure his two children would not wake up, Alvaro returned down the stairs. Turn towards the family room.

Now a soft chant sounded. If not mistaken it is a song titled If owned by Taeyeon that often Tiara sang. This time the woman did not sing. His eyes were blank everywhere even though his clasped fingers danced agilely on the piano keys without anyone being missed.

Long enough Alvaro just stood in the doorway of the liaison. And during that time also his wife's gaze went nowhere to not realize his presence which is now in front of him. Opposite the Tiara with the grand piano as a barrier between them.

Since there was no sign of Tiara waking up from some sort of reverie, Alvaro approached, bowed his body and hugged his wife's stomach from behind. Leaning his chin on the shoulder of the wife to be able to kiss the smooth cheeks that he missed all day.

"Think what the hell dear.." she asked softly. Tiara was shocked to see from the body of the woman who was slightly bearded.

"When to go home? which kids?" tiara asked who was now focusing on the movement of her dentures.

"Kids in the room. Sleeping on the road earlier." replied Alvaro who now changed positions to sit next to the wife.

"Can't they say it first? has the phone changed?" tiara's tone of voice was still cold and reluctant to look at her husband.

"Sorry yank.. But I'm also the father of children."

Tiara immediately turned her head and drew a sharp gaze and ear-splitting "Jreenng" sound as a result of Tiara's finger jolt on the piano.

Alvaro only blinked his eyes many times. This time he did not know what was wrong with his words. What's wrong with him saying he's a father's son. Isn't reality like that?

Without saying anything, Tiara simply passed by leaving Alvaro still glued to the spot.

***

Tiara felt her throat dry when she woke up at midnight. When she moved her hand, she could not find her husband sleeping next to her. Except last night or the nights when Alvaro went out of town on a job.

Where Alvaro was at midnight like that had not slept and went into the room.

After dinner and reading a fairy tale to her baby, Tiara went straight into her room to do her college work.

When her eyelids were unable to cooperate, Tiara finally gave up and decided to sleep without waiting for her husband to enter the room as usual.

Where's Alvaro after dinner?

Of course she's dating her job in the workspace. Where else is that man.

Tiara tightened the ropes of her sleeping robe. Lower both feet and bring the empty glass that is on the nightstand, out.

She would take water while searching for her husband.

Although Tiara is still upset with Alvaro, she does not want the father of her children to be sick because he is too hard at work and neglects rest.

As he walked up the stairs one by one, he heard the sound of the television still burning. And the woman was made to shake with the state of the middle room.

Where Alvaro was cursing on the big flat screen that was there with the game stick was in the grip of a sturdy hand that should have been holding him warm.

The glass table is filled with empty plastic wrap snacks. Cans of soda are also scattered there.

"It's not a break, it's PS!"

Tiara's voice startled Alvaro who instantly grimaced and scratched the back of his head.

"Abis I can't sleep yank, alone." replied Alvaro by bending his face and advancing his lips. Exactly like Fari while sulking.

"Do you have a wife, sleep alone?" kerus Tiara dropped her body on the sofa next to her husband.

"Eh?" Alvaro gawked at him.

Just now Tiara gave a code that she can sleep in the room, right? inner Alvaro among confused also girang.

"I-I mean I can sleep in yank's room?" alvaro asked for clarity. He did not want to go straight into the room which turned out later he was expelled again.

"Who doesn't sleep in the room?"

Alvaro smiles. Although his wife's expression and tone of voice could not be said warm, the most important woman had given him the green light to sleep together again. His wife still cares. Alvaro cheered in his heart.

"But if you don't want to, it's okay. Sleep here together"

"I want to!" exclaiming Alvaro cut off Tiara's unfinished sentence.

Even Alvaro instantly turned off the game and the television.

Tiara shakes. The woman remembers when they were still living in the apartment. When not familiar with the activities of the night melenakan, Tiara was always forced to accompany her husband staying up late playing games.

Remembering their early marriage was funny too. Even things that used to be very annoying when in the live. This moment when he remembered it felt like he wanted to laugh.

It turns out the things we go through, even if it's embarrassing. When it becomes a memory will feel valuable and invite laughter when remembering it.

Except painful and distressing memories may be. Because the wound will remain a wound. Just how we treat and cover those wounds with happiness.

And now Tiara is more able to forgive her husband's mistakes. For one mistake cannot be compared to the thousand joys that her husband has given.

When our partner does something wrong. Remember what he did to make us happy. But it depends on how big of a mistake our partner makes.

And Alvaro's fault this time is far, far and away nothing compared to the happiness that the man gave.

"Beresin used to be his desk. Aunty's done a lot!" exclaimed Tiara who had already stepped into the kitchen to grab a drink.
