Marrying the Depression Master
CH-35 Knows Arum

Ara picked a dress for Jack. Dressing her husband up in spirit, even though Jack just silently looked at her.

“Jack I'd love it if I put your clothes on one day but you're healthy. I'll see your smile because you're happy to dress me up,” said Ara, finishing up her shirt and pants Jack.

He looked at the man again, he smiled, her husband wore any clothes look very handsome, but in his heart was sad to see Jack's condition like that.

“Can you give me a sign of how to get you healed? I want you to heal,” said Ara. Both of his hands rubbed Jack's arms.

”There is no need to be sad anymore, I always have to be patient with your situation. I should be able to keep you happy and not depressed anymore,” said Ara, encouraging herself.

“I'll get you your shoes and watch, where do you keep them? You must have a lot of shoes and a watch, right?” said Ara, then her hand pulled Jack's hand towards the walk in closet.

He also went through a large part of the room with a wardrobe closet, continuing to look for shoe cabinets and others.  Ara picks up a shoe and keeps it near Jack's feet.

“This shoe suits you to relax,” said Ara, then crouched under Jack's feet, touching her husband's feet. This was the first time he touched her and put on her shoes.

“Done,” said Ara, looking up at Jack and surprised when the man looked down at him.

“You noticed me wearing your shoes?” ask Ara, smiling.

“Shoes!” answer Jack.

“Yes! Shoes!” ara exclaimed, smiling widely, she liked Jack to speak even one word.

“I'm happy, you want to talk even if it's just one word, I'm sure you'll get well Jack, I'm sure,” said Ara, her eyes back in tears.

“Now we find a place where you keep your watch,” said Ara, then get up and pull Jack's hand to follow him.

They arrived at the Aroji closet. Ara sat Jack in one of the chairs.

Ara looked around the closet, saw glazed it there are some drawers under it.

“The one in the drawer must be a new watch right?” he asked, opening one of the drawers.

 Inside the drawer there are many watches that are still sealed and some are still priced.

“His watch is very expensive, Jack!” he said he then kept the watch he was holding.

Ara pulled another one of the bottom drawers, and he saw the contents turned out not a watch, but a picture frame that was flipped. Ara astonished at whose photo it was. He just remembered that Jack's room there was not a single photopun frame on display. He imagined for sure Jack's photo would be very handsome like a model photo, or at least a photo of his childhood.

Ara took the frame and turned it upside down, it was a picture of Jack as a child with a daughter who was smaller than him. They may be 6 or 7 years old.

“Jack, is this your photo?” ara asked, showing the picture to Jack who was sitting waiting for her, but Jack did not see it.

Ara walked over to Jack.

“Jack, is this your photo? Who is this?” ara asked, showing the photo in front of Jack who had to see it.

Jack looked silent at the photo.

“What is Arum?” ask Ara.

“This is your birthday, right? There is a miniature toy box General spelled, you just got your general gift,” said Ara, pointing to a birthday sponge and a gift that has been opened and seen in the contents.

Jack looked at the photo, his face blushing. Suddenly Jack's reaction was unexpected, he swiped at the picture frame, then hidden behind his back.

Jack got up and stood up, his eyes looking around for something like wanting to hide the photo. When he saw the drawer open, Jack hurriedly headed towards the drawer and inserted the photo but his hand was restrained by Ara.

“Do not hide that photo!” said Ara, grabbing the picture frame from Jack's hand.

“You must not hide from the past, the past cannot be hidden! The past you can only pass through, it cannot be lost from your life history, Jack!” said Ara.

Jak looked confused, his face was getting pale, he also moved away and began to hold his ears, he was back sitting and moving his body forward to the back.

“He Arum isn't Jack? Your childhood friend who was carried by the ocean currents?” said Ara.

Jack did not answer, he continued to move his body, bowing and covering his ears.

Ara holds both elbows Jack.

“Jack, look at me! Jack Look at me!” ara shouted, forcing Jack to look at her.

“See me Jack, look at me!” pinta Ara, they looked at each other.

“You must accept reality. You can't take Arum out of your life!” said Ara.

Jack looked at Ara. Suddenly his two hands touched Ara's cheeks.

“Arum!”said it.

Ara held Jack's hand on her cheek.

“Not Jack, I am Ara, I am your wife, not Arum,” Ara said, shaking her head.

“Arum,” Reset Jack.

“Ara, Arum is dead, I am Ara,” Ara said.

“You really love Arum?” ask Ara.

Jack was silent.

“You don't have to answer it, with you being depressed I can guess you love Arum very much,” said Ara.

Jack still did not reply, he looked like a flower and looked down. I saw the photo again.

“If Arum were still alive, who would you care more about? Me or Arum? Would you love Arum if he was an adult?” ask Ara again.

“Arum,” says Jack.

“Arum,” Reset Jack.

Ara looked at Jack.

“Looks like I'm going to be jealous Jack, you keep thinking about Arum now,”.

“Alright I will save this photo again,” said Ara, he also woke up and saved the picture frame but not drawn, but installed in the display case that there is a watch.

“You don't need to hide it, let the photo exist as a memory. Not a bad memory Jack, remember the beautiful memories with Arum,” Ara said.

No response from Jack.

Ara will close the drawer that was the place to store the photo, but when it will be closed it turns out there is still something in it, a photo album. Take a large photo album.

“Jack, there is a photo album,” said Ara, grabbed the photo album and sat next to Jack.

Open the photo album slowly. There's a first sheet. It's true Jack's assumption that being photographed will be like a model photo. It turned out to be Jack's photos since childhood.

“You are handsome from small, you should be a model,” said Ara.

Opened again another photo, it turns out many photos of Jack using the uniform of French soldiers.

“You are very happy to wear Jack warrior clothes,” said Ara.

“General!” suddenly Jack spoke.

“Yes General, do you aspire to become a General? You are very gallant in that soldier's uniform,” said Ara.

“General! General!” said Jack.

“Ya General, your general collection is very much,” said Ara.

He could see some photos of Jack with his miniature Generals.

Ara re-opened the photo again, there are some photos of Jack with the girl was again, it turns out Jack did know the child for a long time. Because some of Jack's birthday photos are always photos of the boy that Ara can guess for sure it's Arum.

“You must have lost it so much Jack. You look very happy with Arum,” said Ara.

“Say Mr. Beni, Arum not found! What if it turns out that there's a miracle that Arum is still alive? While I've been your lover, will you love Arum as a friend or as Jack's lover?” ask Ara, like talking to yourself.

Jack did not answer.

Ara saw a picture of Jack and Arum and his extended family were holding an event somehow, Ara recognized the figure of a woman near Arum, she was Madam Imelda. So it's true that boy is Arum.

“Jack,” asked Ara while looking at Jack who was still down.

“Jack all this time you were depressed because you lost your father and Arum. What if Arum turns out to be alive, are you going to get well?” ask Ara.

“Arum,” says Jack.

“Iya Arum,” reset Ara.

“Arum,” said Jack, then closed both ears.

Ara looked at Jack, why was it in her mind that if Jack ever recovered and it turned out that Arum was found alive, what would happen to him? Is Jack going to leave her for Arum? It's obvious Arum is someone who means a lot to Jack. It would be unfair if everyone blamed him, because Jack also loved Arum very much.

“If I could choose. If Arum is alive and can make you better, I choose Arum is still Jack's life, I can't bear to see you like this locked up with your guilt and the pressure from the people around you, even your family only thinks about your wealth. I chose you to heal Jack, although you could have left me if Arum was alive,” Ara said.

Why did he feel so sad when he said that?

Why is there a worry in him, if Arum turns out to be alive and appears before Jack, will he be eliminated from Jack's life?

Ara re-open the photo album until it runs out, then she wakes up from her seat and keeps the photo album back in the drawer.

He saw the picture frame of Jack and Arum again, then took a watch and came back to Jack.

“Are we not going to the park? Let's go to the park!” take Ara, while putting the watch in Jack's hand.

Ara briefly looked at the watch that had been attached to Jack's hand, then smiled and pulled Jack's hand out of the room.
