The twilight sky began to appear as if showing a sign that the sun was preparing to go down and let the moon take its place. Samuel stood on the balcony of the room, resting his hands on an iron trellis. His sharp eyes were closed enjoying the afternoon atmosphere and felt the gust of wind that hit his face.
Makes her remember the times with Maya before the accident happened. Yesterday before the thing that happened to Maya, the two always spent a moment when the sun began to change with a thick cloudy sky. Even Maya always whined for Samuel to take the time to go home early so they could enjoy the twilight sky together.
Now.... Sam is aware of the situation is not as usual. There was a change, though a little, but Sam was very frightened if something that was a little long ago would stretch a solid fortress between his relationship with the Maya.
Samuel sighed many times, today was the day his wife returned home. After about a week of treatment after her miscarriage, Maya was finally allowed to go home. Of course Sam was very happy, he even deliberately redecorated their room on the top floor so that Maya felt a new atmosphere.
Actually Sam thought about Maya's situation if the girl had to go up and down the stairs, but Samuel longed for the moment where he held Maya when he was about to enter their room, let Maya wrap her arms tightly around Sam's sturdy neck and feel Maya's warm breath as it hit her entire face and neck. Sam also misses when Maya puts a little peck on his neck when the girl is in his arms in a bridal style, as they used to do.
Be Samuel decided to re-occupy the room that was on the top floor. This will also be one form of his effort to warm the relationship between the two of them, as usual.
Samuel glanced briefly at his Rolex watch. For almost half six in the afternoon, he rushed to the bathroom to immediately take ablution and prepare for the Maghrib prayer before picking up his wife from the hospital.
....
Arriving from the hospital, Maya just walked into the door of the mansion that had been welcomed by her aunt and also mbak Pur. Their young mistress did not even glance at them, the friendly smile that had been on her back from Maya's lips suddenly disappeared, changing with such a gloomy look on her face.
Samuel let out a long sigh, slightly glanced towards his two maids with a puzzled look and then stepped into the mansion trying to chase after his wife.
Arriving inside, Sam does not find Maya. Perhaps his wife had gone to their room first, the inner Samuel.
Then with a steady step, Sam climbed several circular steps, trying to find Maya there. And gosh.... Sam forgot to close the door of the special room that his plan would be inhabited by their future baby. Quickly and slightly running little Samuel climbed one by one the steps. His steps weakened when he was at the end of the last rung, he was late. Maya had already entered that special room. Samuel hoped that Maya's mood this time would no longer deteriorate.
"Darling-" said Samuel as he approached his wife who was standing at his feet.
The girl looked at the entire room, instantly all the objects around the room seemed to spin so quickly around her. Making Maya's body almost uprooted, if only she did not rest on a carving nightstand located in the middle of the room. Her clear tears were now back uncompromisingly piercing out from both corners of her eyes.
"Honey..be careful!" samuel panicked. With swiftness he grabbed Maya's body which was a little more collapsed to the floor, lucky for his wife to hold on to the oak wooden nightstand with full carving.
Sam held onto both of Maya's shoulders and carried her into an embrace. "I'm sorry baby, you shouldn't have seen this" whispered Samuel weakly.
"We're going to the room? You need to rest" Sam said again. This time Maya pulls her body from Samuel's arms. While shaking slowly and walking closer to the box of tiny white babies, the clear liquid still broke. To make both eyes swell.
"Our son should be here, in here." Maya's great-granddaughter is weak, her lentic fingers are now stroking every corner of the baby box. He walked around her, caressing her hand as if wanting to feel the presence of someone who had been snatched from her.
"Honey.... Please, let's get through this together." Sam approached Maya, trying to hug the girl again. Lucky this time Maya did not dodge, Sam increasingly clutched his wife's body and occasionally kissed the forehead and both cheeks chubby Maya.
"We can definitely get through this, baby, I promise.." - Samuel whispered to Maya, sniffing back the scent of his wife's body that was so intoxicating to Sam.
"I-I. That shadow always rotates in my brain Sam, I can't. I can't.." many times Maya shook her head weakly, tears are falling all over her chubby cheeks. And no doubt the clear liquid also wet the Tshirt that Sam wore.
"We can, May. God will never leave us both." Sam hugged his wife tightly again who was still hiccuping nonstop.
"I lost my son, Sam, and you'll never know it...! Never will...!" maya exclaimed, now he again made a distance with Samuel. Releasing her husband's embrace and looking at her husband.
"I want to be here, please leave me alone.." Maya's great-grandson was weak, her crying made her voice a little raucous.
"But May...."
"I beg Sam, leave me alone" he paused Samuel's words, with tears now growing.
"Please.." Maya repeated pleading.
Finally with his tired face Samuel obeyed what his wife wanted, he stepped out. Samuel looked back at Maya from the end of the door. The girl's body now slumped down, looking at the sturdy baby box standing there. Her cries broke again, so slicing Samuel's heart.
Samuel's heart is broken.
....
Samuel came out of the bathroom and found Maya lying behind him. Inwardly, she was relieved that Maya had come out of the special room that was planned for their future baby.
Samuel walked up to Maya and sat himself on the edge of the bed. Maya turned her head towards him, but soon the girl turned her back to Samuel.
"Honey.." call Sam while rubbing Maya's back, but that doesn't make Maya respond.
Samuel changed his position to lie down to hug Maya from behind and let out a kiss on her head.
"Dear, I beg you not to be like this. I can't let you just shut up like this, baby."
There was no response from Maya. But Sam did not give up to get a response from Maya again. Samuel unbuttoned the back of the dress that Maya was wearing and lowered it, pecking Maya's back and shoulders in turns. Makes the owner squirm a little amused.
"Stop Sam!" maya's nagging does not make Sam stop kissing her body parts, on the sidelines of her kiss Sam smiled. He then moved to kiss Maya's ear lobe and give a small bite there.
"Hush...! Stop it, please." said Maya a little high-pitched, but this time what Sam did managed to make Maya turn her body in her direction.
Samuel stared softly into Maya's netra, there was no anger. Sam just softened his gaze and smiled a little.
Her strong fingers gently caressed the face that had always made her fall in love. Although now the cheerful twinkle faded slightly from the face, but to Samuel, the girl was still the same person. Someone who is always valuable to him and who he always loves until anytime.
"I'm sorry, baby." Sam whispered softly, stroking one of Maya's chubby cheeks.
"We're going through this together. I lost her too but I don't want to lose you too, my wife." Sam whispered in the position of the two who were still lying face to face. Slowly Samuel brought his body back to Maya.
"Mk...."
"Hmm....?"
Maya fell silent, looking at Samuel's beautiful face and beads. If only if the baby was still alive, it would have had a beautiful brown eye bead like her father, the inner Maya.
"Why baby?" samuel asked what Maya's daydream had become.
"I-i...."
Back as Maya's tears burst out, she turned away from Samuel now. Maya could not look at her husband's face. She has failed to be a wife or a mother.
"Huussttt. I beg you." Sam rubbed the tears still running down the cheeks of the girl lying beside him.
"I can't see you crying anymore" Samuel continued. It's the soft kiss of Maya's second blind.
"Now sleep, I will always be here, looking after you. Please, don't think about it. Okay....?" samuel said slowly. Sam kissed Maya's soft lips while removing the strands of hair that covered her pretty face.
"You're the most important treasure to me and I won't let you hurt again." Sam continued.
He hugged his wife's body, which was now sleeping. Sam repeatedly looked at Maya's innocent face in his sleep. "I love you whenever, Maya." Sam whispered softly.
to be continue....
