Marrying for Threats
episode 213
They are out of the super market. Although Zira did not get his wish, the milk taste cendol. But Ziko reassured his wife that tomorrow he would bring the milk.
The car stopped in front of Zira's house. Zira wants to get off in front of the fence. She doesn't want Ziko to come into her house. Because he thinks they've had enough time together for today. The car has not moved from the front of the fence. They still saw the perfect creature enter the area of his house safely. Kevin's already started the car engine. They both live in that car. There was a sense of awkwardness when they were just the two of them.
" Vin." Ziko broke the silence.
" Yes sir." Kevin replied and just glanced over the glass of the car.
" I'm sorry for hitting you so many times." Ziko said with a feeling of guilt.
Kevin was still silent, he did not expect that his former boss could say an apology. He thinks Ziko wants to lower her ego by apologizing to him.
" I know, what you said at the anniversary was all right. I shouldn't have said something that hurt Zira's feelings. I know all women would be angry if they were in my wife's position. I was thinking short at the time. I thought Zira was barren like Vita. Yesterday I thought I would not continue with Zira any longer because I was afraid that my love for her would deepen, and it would be difficult for me to let go. But now I regret having said that to him. I know an apology won't be able to treat an enlarged wound. I'd be sincere if he'd still divorce me." Said Ziko slowly. There was no tear coming out of the end of his eyes.
Kevin was silent, and still focused on driving the car. It's not time to talk yet he thought.
" If we part because there is no room for me, I beg you to take care of him, as you always stood behind me." Ziko held back her tears.
" Mister." Said Kevin slowly.
" That parting was the hardest thing for me, especially after I knew there was a seed of our love in my wife's belly. It will be harder for me to forget. If we had split up maybe I'd go crazy." Ziko said with a trembling voice.
" Mister, don't talk like that, there's still time for you to fix things as before. You can apologize sincerely, although it may be difficult to forgive but do it repeatedly. I'm sure Miss Zira can forgive you."
Ziko was silent for a moment.
" So I can't be with you Zira, for now or for the future. I must be content with dreaming of you and waiting for our meeting." Said Ziko slowly.
" Today, however good or bad has passed. Today is the time to look at the blue sky." Kevin said with encouragement.
" I don't want our relationship to end in vain, I want our relationship to continue until death separates." Ziko said she hoped.
" Master, learn to give up until no one can beat you. Learn to humble yourself until no one can humble you. If we're on the wrong path. God always allows his servant to return to the right path." Kevin said encouragingly.
After that conversation. They returned silent. Silence is created because Ziko tries to review all the words of her former assistant. As a former assistant, Kevin is very good at providing encouragement and support to his boss. He can think clearly with everything. Maybe because he can control his emotions compared to Ziko.
Ziko asked to be dropped off at the Rujak stall this afternoon. He wants to get his car there.
" Sir, should I take you home." Kevin said quickly.
" I still have business to do." Ziko said quickly while turning on her car remote.
Ziko went somewhere. He wants to see someone out there.
***
Zira had already cleaned her already sticky body. It was a tiring and stressful day when she had to get back together with her husband. At the time at the Rujak stall was delicious, it was like he went to avoid when he had to face Ziko. But somehow his heart didn't want that. Her heart preferred not to reject Ziko. But the pain in his chest still did not go away. Now feelings of hurt and affection were at war in his mind. I don't know who will win.
Zira opened her phone. There are several messages coming from the chat list. Both boutique and business. Zira replied one by one the chat. And there was one chat from Kevin. Kevin sent us a picture of himself and Ziko. Where is the photo when they both leaned on the car because of the limp vomit. And the photo of her sleeping on Ziko's thigh.
Zira looked at the ceiling. While imagining a clue to her wedding.
There was another message on his phone screen. Zira opens a photo of Kevin. Kevin sent me another picture of him and Ziko. The old photos were all sent to him. And the video when he was told to promise Ziko didn't say the word faggot. And their picture on the jet plane was also sent by Kevin. Where they photograph a lot of styles at the time. And still remember in his mind, when Kevin said Ziko's bangs were like welcome bangs.
Zira still remembers that. It should have made him happy to have remembered their moment together. But with the photo she cried sobbing. He felt pain considering their togetherness that would later end.
Kevin not only sends it to Zira, he also sends it to his former boss. He meant that with all those memories the sense that was in their hearts was growing and getting stronger.
Zira sends a chat to Kevin.
Why did you send it back to me? What are your plans behind all this.
Kevin hasn't responded yet. Zira looked back and forth at the notification screen on her phone. He was waiting for a reply from Kevin.
I don't mean anything, why do I keep a photo of you two, if it turns out you will also be separated. So keep those photos and videos as mementos.
Zira read it slowly. They should not have their memories stored by others. Zira sends another chat.
Whatever your intentions, I appreciate. Though these memories hurt me even more.
Kevin replied again.
Love is like the wind, you can't see it but you can feel it.
Don't blame each other. Even if you are blamed and you are not proven guilty, it is better to be quiet and reassuring than to fight.
All the chat that Kevin sent as a encouragement to him. The spirit to endure his love. The love that was and will soon be gone.
" Like, comment and Vote are many thanks."
