Loving Paralyzed Men
Thinking Inside

Akira and Daniel sit down and enjoy the young coconut ice Daniel ordered. Both of them seemed busy with their own thoughts.

'Do I have to say it now?' thought Daniel.

'I'm sure, today Dimas has received the letter of the lawsuit.' Akira said in his heart.

A little boy was seen playing on the beach. Unexpectedly the boy was dragged by a huge wave. The mother of the child was screaming hysterically.

"Relaeaass . . . . . Yes God . . . . Please . . . . My son . . . . . . .u. . . . .u . . . "

Several people were seen running around, trying to save the poor boy.

Akira who is less focused, because he heard the name Dimas called instead came running to the shore and joined in shouting.

"Cambod . . . . ." Shouted Akira.

From behind Daniel runs after Akira.

"Hu . . .u. . .u. . . Anyone please save Dimas." Crying Akira.

The boy's hysterical mother sees Akira full of question marks.

"Dimaasss don't leave me alone . . . . " Shouted Akira again.

"Please calm down. What is it with you, you are familiar with . . . "

"Of course I know. He is the person who means the most to me. Hu. . . . .u . . . . .u . . ."

The boy's mother approached Akira and hit him.

"Heh, what do you mean is that Dimas is the person who means the most to you. Are you ready for him, huh?" The woman screamed emotion.

"You who is it? I'm Dimas' wife." Answer Akira.

The mother looked increasingly astonished and her anger subsided when she saw the boy named Dimas could be saved. The mother ran to her son.

"Dimaass my son . . . . Huu. . .u. . .u. . ."

"Already Mom, she's fine. Good thing we saved him quickly." Said a man.

Akira who saw the incident was staring.

'What have I done?' ask Akira in my heart.

"I'm sorry, Ma'am. Maybe you're wrong, this is my son's Dimas, he's seven. Definitely not your husband." Said the boy's mother and left.

*********************

Along the way leaving the beach, Akira just fell silent. That left Daniel not knowing what to say.

'Why am I even thinking about the man who hurt me all this time?'

'Did I still love him so much?'

'Then is my decision to divorce correct?'

All those questions were lodged in Akira's head.

"Aaaarrrgghhhh . . . ." Shouted Akira suddenly, to the surprise of Daniel who immediately braked suddenly.

"What's Akira?" Daniel asked worriedly.

"Eh, I'm sorry. I just have a lot of thoughts." Reply Akira.

Daniel smiled and drove back to his car.

"How about we have lunch. I'm sure you're hungry." Said Daniel.

"As far as you are. I'm just going along." Reply Akira looked out the window of Daniel's sporty car.

Before long the two arrived at a traditional-style restaurant.

"What do you want to eat?" Daniel asked as he looked at Akira who had looked pensive.

The menu book in front of him was not touched by Akira at all. His gaze focused towards a saung not far from where they were sitting.

There was one family that looked new to the saung. Akira's gaze focused on a middle-aged man using a wheelchair. Several young men in the entourage were seen carrying the middle-aged man to sit down on the saung.

'Will Dimas be like that until his old age?'

'If we could always be together. Although Dimas will remain paralyzed, it is possible that we can be happy until old age.'

A moment of smiling Akira imagines what it looks like in old age with Dimas. However, the next second Akira's eyes reddened, due to the actual circumstances now that he was parting with Dimas.

"about! Why else? Are you crying?" Daniel asked who broke Akira's daydream.

"Maybe I'm just hungry." Akira replies while trying to smile.

"From now on, what do you want to eat. But you instead . . . . "

"I ate the same with your order." Cut Akira.

"All right."

After waiting for about fifteen minutes. Daniel's food order came. There are several menus available.

Both of them enjoyed their lunch. Although Akira actually looks less tasteful, but he tries to appreciate Daniel.
