Episode 47's


Talitha breathed a sigh of relief after the last stitch was done. Until now, Satriya's condition is still fine. There is no indication of postoperative shock. But we both know that anything can happen.


After the video call connection was cut off, I approached the woman who was sitting limp on the plain blue sea sofa. His body was still trembling, his tears flowing spilling with breath as he pleased. Maybe I'm not the one in that woman's position right now, but I pretty much know what it's like. It must be very painful to find our loved ones in a critical condition far away, while we can do nothing.


Slowly, I pat Talitha on the shoulder, maybe my little act can provide a little calm. There are so many questions I want to ask the woman, but seeing her current condition I have to be patient waiting for her emotions to become more stable.


Every corner of this room is not so much different from my apartment upstairs. It's just that, the slightly girly decor dominates the layout of the space. Photos of Talitha and Satriya are neatly displayed on the wall. Some of them are placed in a beautiful frame on the corner wooden shelves of the room. The neutral color of the curtains and beads that decorate the window gives the impression of sweet and romantic. Wide ventilation allows more light to illuminate the corners of the room dominated by white and beige furniture. Apparently, they had been living in this place for a while.


I sat down next to Talitha again with a glass of chamomile tea that I thrust in front of her.


"Thank you" I responded with a nod.


"Why can you be here?" the question sentence I wanted to say.


As soon as she took one sip, she answered my question, "Gue's been here about a month. Satriya has a duty here"


A month? Means before I came, they were already here dong?


"Why was Satriya injured?  Why is Kendra the same?" my enthusiastic question was answered with a gaze that didn't know what it meant.


The woman breathed a rough breath before starting her story, "In essence, I don't deserve a story, but since you already know, you want to do it again."


"Gue also does not know what is on Kendra's mind, ngajak lo honeymoon here but diem-diem carry out the duties of the country with my husband" continued Talitha.


"Huh? Meanin?" my forehead is wrinkled.


"They became Intel agents, Satinduk BAISnya TNI, with a mission that I don't have the right to know."


For a while..so only in my eyes do our trip to Morocco is a honeymoon? Every day, I am made lackluster. Waking up, the man said that. Gini is very lucky I became a woman in the country.


The phone calls shook us both. Talitha swiftly dragged the green button of her phone screen. A sigh of relief came out as soon as someone at the end of the phone line told her that her husband was fine.


"Medical help is coming. Satriya's condition is fine" information submitted by Talitha makes me breathe a sigh of relief. That means my Kendra won't get into any more complicated trouble. "They're on their way home" he added.


"Where are they now?"


"El Castillo, Spain"
