Marrying My Beloved's Killer
Chapter 9. Memories of Sea
Five years ago, it was clear in Sea's memories that day was the day he had been on since a long time ago. Sweet Seventeen, although Sea does not know what is special with a birthday at the age of 17 years but like other teenage girls he was enthusiastic waiting for that day to arrive. And most importantly, that day should be two of the most important and most dear people he will ever miss and will meet him.
“Mbok Sum, how come father and mother have not come well?” At that time Sea was unceasingly glancing towards the clock on his wrist.
Since the age of 10 years Sea lived in the coastal area only two with Mbok Sum, his caretaker since childhood. Both of her parents, who own a pharmacology company in the city, require Sea to live separately from her parents. I don't know what reason until his father and his mother did not bring Sea to live in the City with them.
Sea also remembered that at that time he was really impatient if he just sat still and waited. Waiting for the return of his parents while looking at the number 17 candle that adorned his birthday cake slowly melted to formless again.
Sea remembered how his unrelenting self looked out of the house when he heard the roar of a car that he thought belonged to both of his parents. Sea remembered how disappointed he was, after waiting for hours his parents never arrived.
The beautiful twilight shadow at that time, still clearly drawn in his mind. The day had begun in the afternoon, when Sea decided to enjoy the twilight alone on the beach not far from his residence. Every step towards the white sandy beach was accompanied by teardrops. “Dad and mother evil! They are lying again!” Gerrutu Sea at that time.
Sitting on the white sand, his footwear had been removed. He let the waves of sea water wet his feet, even occasionally his face was exposed to splashes of sea water. The roar of the waves sounded like a song that drives away his bike, “Thank you for singing my birthday song,” said Sea accompanied by laughter.
His head looked up, staring at the sky that was slowly turning orange in color. “That's great,” muttered Sea. “Because it's beautiful, I consider dusk this afternoon to be the best birthday gift God sent me.”
Sea could still feel the cold wind that blew that afternoon, as Mbok Sum ran in waves towards him. Maybe my mom and dad have arrived? That was how it occurred to Sea's mind while welcoming Mbok Sum with a smile.
“Why run Mbok Sum?” asked Sea unsuspectingly. He stood up to welcome Mbok Sum.
“Non ... it ... it ...” Mbok Sum took a pause to inhale a long breath.
“Tu-sama and Madam had an accident on the way here. They were declared dead,” said Mbok Sum accompanied by tears.
Sea sculpting. No words to speak. There was no sound he could hear. It was as if the Sea was drawn into a deep and dark hole. His body was breaking down by itself, Sea sat down with tears flooding his beautiful face.
“Daddy ... Mother ... You guys are so evil!”
“Even when leaving this world, you just go alone and leave me alone.” Lirih Sea muttered in his sobs.
......................
“Not ... don't go .. don't leave me alone,” muttered Sea with eyes closed and sweat soaking his forehead. His head moved to the left until it disturbed Noah's sleep.
“Sea!"
“Sea!" Noah shakes Sea's body while trying to wake him up, “Sea, let's get up! Open your eyes, Sea!”
For a second moment the beautiful Netra Sea was awake. “Mas ...” The girl woke up and hugged Noah. Noah was about to let go of Sea's embrace, but the sobbing he heard made Noah undo his intentions. What's wrong with her? Inner Noah.
While Sea who continued to hold Noah tightly was very grateful. Although his embrace did not get a reply at least Noah did not refuse his embrace. Five years ago the dream was always the flower of his sleep at the same time.
Every early September, Sea again reminisces about the times when his life was so bad when he had to face the reality of losing both his parents right on his birthday.
Time goes by so fast, the morning comes. A couple, Sea and Noah are neat with matching black suits. Not because it wants to look harmonious, but Sea and Noah this morning will visit the graves of both Sea parents.
After traveling in a state of silence, Sea and Noah finally arrived at TPU which became the final resting place of Sea parents. Noah stared softly at the two adjoining headstones. On the tombstone were engraved the names Septian and Namira, the names of his two in-laws.
Noah's heart was filled when he saw Sea sitting on the side eating his parents. Although the girl just kept quiet and looked straight at the gravestone of her parents, Noah knew that in his heart Sea was crying. "It must be very painful and I'm sure that the girl is sad." Mumbled wailing.
Just as Noah was about to hug Sea to give a little peace to the girl who was his wife, suddenly the image of himself some time ago that was not much different from Sea reappeared. The touch of pity that had crossed Noah's mind was again defeated by the hatred of the Sea that he continued to fertilize.
......................
While Sea today is getting less excited during college, because his two best friends are completely invisible to his nose. Two hours passed so quickly, because during class Sea just sat still and dissolved in his daydream. When he was about to go home, Sea accidentally met with Alfio.
“Sea ...” Alfio.
“Kak Al, how is the cafe?” ask Sea.
“While are you Sea,” replied Alfio. Unknowingly his hand stroked the top of Sea's head.
“Should you ask news it is the owner of the cafe.” Its effects.
Sea laughing. His first laugh today. “That's what she wanted, sister.”
“Sea, are you busy?” ask Alfio. “I want to ask your opinion on the new decoration of my cafe,” he explained.
Sea looked towards the clock on his wrist. There are still a few hours before the class starts. Sea also agreed to Alfio's request to help him, count Sea replied to Alfio who had given him many very beautiful photos.
“Alright, but I don't have much time. I have to go home soon,” Sea replied.
Both roads lead to the Venus cafe. Sea did realize that there was something different than usual. The cafe looked quieter than usual, only the employee-only parking area was filled. “What is sister cafe closed?” ask Sea.
Alfio flicked his shoulders and gleamed Sea to open the door. When the door opened, “Surprise ..” shouted many people.
How surprised Sea, it has been 5 years he never celebrated his birthday again. Tessa and Phila are carrying a birthday cake with lots of candles on it.
“Happy birthday my dear friend,” Tessa said. “Don't grieve constantly, you should also be happy.” Happy birthday from Tessa, she ends with a hug.
After Sea blew all the candles on his birthday cake, unfortunately, a thousand dear Phila who was about to hug Sea even tripped one of the legs of the chair to make a birthday cake that he brought tossed and partly about Sea clothes.
Alfio feels guilty and wants to take responsibility by taking Sea to the boutique to buy new clothes. With a bit of coercion Sea finally accepted Alfio's offer.
......................
Time passed by so quickly, at the residence of Peter Myles one by one the guests invited to attend the recitation had begun to arrive.
Noah began to rile because the study will begin in a few minutes while his wife has not yet returned from campus. Moreover, both of his parents constantly pressured Noah to find out where Sea was.
“Where to yah?” murmured Noah with a cell phone stuck to his ear. Noah was in a dilemma, between annoyed and also worried that the man kept pacing the porch of his house.
Shortly after, the two nets narrowed as a car pulled over right in front of the gate. A man got off the side of the wheel. The man ran to the other side to open the car door.
How surprised Noah was to see if the girl who got off the car was his wife, Sea.
“How dare he bring another man into this house! Growled Noah. Soon he spread his feet wide towards the gate.
“Sea!” He shouted even though the distance of the gate was still quite far.
“Basic liar woman!” noah insulted Sea.
