Ferdian pulled the suitcase from his storage cabinet. A black suitcase he unzipped. His heart feels sad. While Ajeng was folding her husband's clothes and pants.
"You play with Arsene, yes, I'll sort your stuff out!" said Ajeng while folding a favorite jersey Ferdian black.
"Yes" answered Ferdian.
Ferdian walked into the living room, and played with his son there. The plan, two days away is Ferdian's departure to Chicago, United States. Ferdian's father's corporate office cooperates with the business institutions and training centers of qualified company leaders there. So Ferdian will take a six-month short course on leadership and business management. It turned out that the training was also devoured by his two other brothers, Damian and Resha when they were 25 years old. Ferdian will go to this training at the age of 23.
He wears a headset on his ear. He plays music that accompanies his daily activities. While tidying up and putting her husband's clothes in the suitcase, the woman began to sob, crying over her husband's departure in two days. He tried to hold back his cries so as not to sound out. Some shirts, t-shirts, jeans, sleeping pants he put in a suitcase. He took a dress of his. A peach-colored rose-patterned nightgown she took out of the closet. She knew her dress was her husband's favorite when she wore it at night. He sprayed it with his perfume with a lot of spray so that it smelled piercing the nose. Then he folded it and put it in a paper bag. She slipped between her husband's clothes. She rubbed her wet cheeks because of her crying.
He took something from his closet drawer. There's a little box there. Then he wrote on a paper.
"Especially for you, may you always wear this wherever you go. Love from us, Ajeng & Arsene! We always miss you!"
The paper was inserted in the box along with the contents. Then Ajeng put it on the bottom of Ferdian's pile of clothes.
Ajeng had finished tidying up and put all her husband's clothes and belongings into the suitcase. He stood in front of a glass and noticed his face that looked puffy. Then he put a little powder and concealer on his face so as not to look like he just cried.
Ajeng came out, he noticed his husband and son who were both sleeping on the fur carpet that was tucked there. He smiled at the sight. Arsene's body was on top of his daddy's body, they were equally slumbering. He took a picture of both of them. Then he approached and kissed his two favorite men.
\=====
Ajeng had just put Arsene on his bed after the boy fell asleep on his mother's lap, after nursing. Ferdian looked agitated in his sleep. The man had not really fallen asleep. Tomorrow afternoon he will go to the airport. Yes, tomorrow is his departure to America. He cannot sleep to welcome tomorrow.
The wannabe felt that worry. She approached her husband and brought his face closer.
"Can't you sleep?"
Ferdian opened his eyes and looked at his wife. He simply stroked his wife's head without making a sound.
"Need help?"
"What help?" asked Ferdian furrowing his brows.
Wake up and sit on his bed. He turned on his cell phone and tuned a beautiful instrumental music from the piano. Then she pulled out her husband's hand so that Ferdian sat down. Ajeng looked at him. She touched her forehead and went down to her husband's cheek. One finger he touched to the lips of her husband. Ferdian looked at him with a thumping heart, his heart racing every time he felt his wife's gentle touch. His blood rippled throughout the body, sending love signals to his brain.
Ajeng looked at him softly and then began to bring his face and lips closer so that there was no longer any distance between them. Their eyes closed to each other, with lips that interlocked gently accompanied by the strains of instrumental music so that the atmosphere was so shahdu. Their kiss was getting wet, as one of their eyes was shedding tears.
"Please don't cry (Please don't cry)!" said Ferdian gently with irregular breathing accompaniment. He rubbed the tears dripping down his wife's cheeks.
"I'm gone for just a minute" said Ferdian again with teary eyes.
Ajeng nodded, then closed his eyes again, throwing away the tears left there. While her husband continued his work to leave memories that will never be forgotten that night, the night of a temporary farewell for the next six months. So that the love between them will continue to bloom even though their bodies are separated for a short time.
\=====
That day has arrived. Ferdian's departure to America. Mr. Yusuf drove them to the international airport in Cengkareng. There was not much conversation on the road to the airport. Ferdian just let his wife sleep in his arms. Arsene seemed comfortable in the carseat. Mom and Dad took her. Not to forget, there is Ridho there who will share it until America.
The wind blew away Ajeng's soft hair as he descended after Mr. Yusuf stopped their car at the airport lobby door and unloaded all the goods. Ferdian and Ridho will take off at night after Isya. That afternoon they arrived. Ferdian heaved his breath. On his arm was Arsene, who he kept holding. Then he gave it to his wife.
"Mother, Dad, I'm leaving first. I tipped Ajeng and Arsene," said Ferdian softly staring at his father.
"Well and good you're there!" she said she hugged her son.
He looked at her with a sad look. While his own heart was already feeling tight.
"Call me if anything happens, I'm sure you can!" said dad when he hugged Ferdian.
Ferdian shifted his body in front of his wife who was already in tears.
Mother took over Arsene from Ajeng. Ferdian cupped his wife's cheeks, he looked at her face, then wiped his tears with his thumb. He put his forehead on his wife's forehead. Both of them were breathing heavily, like someone was strangling their necks.
"I'll be back soon (I'll be back soon)" said Ferdian lirih.
Ajeng could not say anything. His voice was stuck inside his chest.
Ajeng's eyes continued to break into tears that he could never stop at this moment. Father and mother looked at them with sympathy.
"I love you so much!" ferdian said, he kissed his wife's lips for the last time in six months, then held her tightly, tightly as if he never wanted to let go. His love for Ajeng is so great.
"I love you too," said Ajeng with great difficulty, because his breath was blocked.
Ferdian showered his wife's face with many kisses. Then he took his son.
"Please wait for Daddy, okay(Wait for dad to come home?)?"
"Okay!" arsene replied softly with her cute voice.
"You're a great boy, take care of your mom (You're a good boy, take care of your mom!)!"
"Okay, Daddy!" answer Arsene again.
Ajeng and the others smiled at Arsene who was already good at answering her daddy questions. Ferdian kissed Arsene's cheek several times. Arsene also returned the kiss. Ferdian smiled with relief. He gave Arsene to his wife. Then he pulled his suitcase.
"Assalamu'alaikum.." said Ferdian separated from his beloved family, he stared one by one family members. Before leaving, he took his wife's hand. Then take it off slowly, with teary eyes.
"Wa'alaikumsalam.." Everyone answered.
Ridho also walked first, he was also parting with his parents, and people who were also with Ferdian.
"Dho, tipped Ferdian huh?" said Ajeng lirih when Ridho said goodbye to him.
"Ready, Miss!" said Ridho firmly.
Ajeng saw Ferdian's back pulling a suitcase and then began to enter the airport, after he showed his boarding pass to airport officials.
Ferdian waved his hand with a smile.
"Bye, daddy!" said Ajeng instructed his son.
"Bye bye, daddy!" said Arsene who waved his hand.
"Moe.." Arsene gave him a long-distance kiss.
Ferdian smiled, showing his teeth when he got a kiss away from his son. He passed from there, carrying a heavy heart because of his love.
"If only I could choose, then I'll choose that I will never be far from you even a second
But I believe, our love will last forever wherever we are"
(If only I could choose, then I would choose not to be far from you for a second
But I believe our love will last forever, wherever we are)
- Ferdian
