"Kanaya, you're still thinking about the incident at the restaurant earlier?" Keenan asked after being in the room, his wife was back in residence.
"Just think, how am I not thinking? You should have married her and would have been happy if you hadn't married me. I can see from her eyes that if she loves you, I feel guilty for being a barrier between you two."
Keenan chuckled at his wife's long speech. The man tugged at his wife's waist, hugged her tightly. "So, you're jealous if she loves me, hum?"
"I'm not kidding!" Kanaya tries to escape from her husband's embrace, but her efforts are in vain because Keenan will not let go.
"Married it's fate, Kanaya, and loved it's destiny. You, me and anyone else can plan on marrying who, but who can't love be planned for. Look Kanaya, I'm not necessarily happy if I'm married to Vera, because just like you she's a stranger in my life. But I'm sure our meeting wasn't just a coincidence or something you thought was bad luck."
Kanaya was fixated in her husband's arms, let alone trying to break free, moving only she had no space. Keenan hugged her very tightly.
"Love and be loved is a wish for everyone, but in the end, only three things matter: how much you love, how gently you live your life, and how sincerely you let go of something that wasn't meant for you. The hardest thing to love is to start. Especially open the heart, after cleaning up the old one. Memories with a partner cannot be easily lost. That is what makes the heart unable to accept the arrival of new people while still expecting love from the old people. Only time can tell when the heart can receive love from a new person. But I'm sure, Kanaya. In the corner of your heart has been engraved my name, only you do not show it because you always put forward your ego. And one thing you must remember is that I love you, not just look at my love from my eyes, but feel it from my deepest heart. Put your hand on my chest, and you'll feel it."
Keenan raised a hand of Kanaya and placed it on his chest.
Kanaya immediately raised her eyes to look at her husband, when she felt the beating of her husband's heart from the palm of her hand that was attached to Keenan's chest.
Without thinking, Kanaya immediately wrapped her hands around Keenan's waist, hugging and placing her head on her husband's chest. Listening to the beating heart of her husband is like a melodious rhythm of love.
Kanaya is not ignorant of how Keenan has been feeling these few months to her, it's just that the events that started their meeting made it difficult to accept and reconcile with the circumstances. Maybe Keenan was right, their meeting was not just a coincidence or misfortune that happened to him, but it had become his destiny.
"Teach me love you."
"Kanaya, what did you say? Try saying it again?"
"I told you, teach me to love you." Kanaya repeated her sentence.
"Really, Kanaya I didn't hear wrong right?" Keenan could not believe hearing his wife's words.
"No Keenan Erlangga. Like you who love me, I want to learn to love you too."
Keenan could not hide his happiness at this time, there was not a word he could say and all he could do was to kiss all parts of his wife's face and hold her tightly.
Although not an expression of love that was thrown from the lips of his wife, but Keenan was very happy. His wife said learning to love him made him very happy. And he was sure as time went by that love for him would soon grow in his wife's heart.
