Jona follows his wife who is standing under the sunset near the pool outside their bedroom window. He stood beside the woman. He saw his wife looking ahead with a blank look. For some reason, there was a feeling of guilt in Jona's heart after the small debate earlier. He really doesn't know about this.
"Why just say it now?" ask Jona later.
"I'm just embarrassed. Shame for not being a perfect woman" Olyn replied without taking her eyes off.
"Why should I be ashamed? I am not a perfect husband either. I can accept anything of you."
Olyn glanced at Jona at a glance, before then her gaze returned straight ahead.
"I did the surgical removal of the uterus after knowing that I could not have children later, aka infertile. It's not easy to get to the point now. I was depressed at the time too. Moreover, I have to accept the fact that no man wants to marry an infertile woman like me. And just so you know, I've always been in a relationship with my boyfriend, it's a form of my own impingement because I haven't been able to accept the fact that I'm infertile."
Jona was silent at Olyn's explanation. He did not expect if the woman who always looks cheerful it turns out to keep a big wound and had gone through very heavy days.
"I'm just like you, Olyn. No human being is okay knowing that he is in trouble. I almost suffer every day. I was only able to make peace with myself after I met you. You have a big influence on my life."
Slowly Jona grabbed Olyn's hand and now they stood face to face. Jona clasped his wife's hands together and looked at Olyn's eyes intently.
"I'm now really sure if we were found because we were a match. To accept each other and understand what is the problem within us. I'll never mind what's inside of you, not to mention what's inside of me, thank you for being my wife," jona said from the bottom of his heart.
"Do you really love me?" ask Olyn then to be sure.
Jona nodded. "Yes, sure. I love you, Olyn. I love you."
Jona's expression made Olyn feel moved, she poured into her husband's arms. Olyn inhaled deeply the scent of Jona's distinctive and fragrant body.
Olyn's question made Jona slowly let go of her embrace. They stared back at each other with a million questions in Jona's head.
"What?"
"I want you to take alternative medicine. I wouldn't have expected more, but at least we've tried, whatever the outcome."
Jona was silent for a moment. He was confused to reject Olyn's request. Because Olyn will be disappointed if he remains steadfast in refusing alternative medicine. Because he does not want Olyn disappointed with the results later if he is permanently impotent.
With a heavy heart, Jona nodded in agreement. A single smile rose from the corner of Olyn's seedling. Finally, Jona wants to be invited to alternative medicine later after they go home honeymoon.
"If the results match what was expected and you're back to normal, do you still want to be with an infertile woman like me?"
Again Olyn asks a question that makes Jona do not know how to answer. He was afraid of going wrong.
"Then, it's better not to need alternative medicine and I don't need to be normal anymore. So that I can stay with you."
"Don't you deserve what makes you happy, Jona."
"My happiness is enough for you, Olyn. I don't need to be normal anymore if we're not together in the end. Please, don't talk about this anymore, yeah. Our destination came to Switzerland for the honeymoon. Where we should have fun. Be happy. Not to discuss our shortcomings and end up like this. We'll talk again about this later, after we get home from here if we need to."
Jona looked at Olyn expectantly so that she would no longer discuss this matter. Honestly he is not this will cause debate and lead to a commotion. Olyn nodded trying to understand Jona's feelings.
