NOT MY DARK LOVER
Getting Started and Flawed (End )

With trembling hands Marva finally grabbed the flowers from her husband's hands, inhaling the tulip scent still fresh in her sense of smell. After that she reached her chin to look at her husband who was smiling sweetly at her, she still did not know what kind of confusion filled her heart.

Handi was only able to smile sweetly but it was still empty, he could still receive Marva's response unlike what he expected.

"Let's sit down first" he asked to break the silence.

The little family was sitting around a round table with some decorations depicting the romantics, Marva and Handi sitting opposite while Narra sat between his parents.

"Narra wants these biscuits?" tanya Handi offers Narra's favorite chocolate-flavored biscuits served on the table with a birthday cake for the wedding. Handi distracts Narra by feeding her daughter hard food, so that the girl does not feel bored to keep quiet.

"You." Narra nodded enthusiastically. No doubt, he was already engrossed in his biscuits.

Marva still remained silent watching the interaction of father and son, very fast progress. He could not believe it completely.

"Marva," call Handi soft, she should be able to express what she wants and what she thinks carefully. "I'm sorry I was mean to you and Narra, I ignored my little family. I also never appreciated our marriage, I often gave you hurt as well as Narra." a nervous-sounding remark, Handi continued on with it "Once I apologize to you, Marva." basically, the personality of Handi who is irritated to talk makes it harder for him to say sorry.

"Then what do you want now?" answer Marva with great emphasis. She still refused to return her husband's gaze, she hesitated.

Handi felt the atmosphere around them was hot, maybe this is what Marva felt during their stay at home, word after word of her mother yesterday made her slowly realize her mistake.

"A-ak-I want to fix everything from scratch again, Marva. I want to learn to love our little family. Please accept me again in your life."

"It's that easy, huh?" reply Marva began to raise the volume of her voice, she felt a little emotion knowing as easily as saying sorry. He forgot Narra was among them, the little girl stopped her chewing event. "Mother,,".

"Oh, sorry dear." Marva's voice instantly softened.

Unexpectedly Handi actually grabbed Marva's arms and then tugged her tightly, then Marva dared to look at Handi's bead. Unlike usual, this bead was clearly different from his previous gaze.

"I know you might have a hard time believing my words. But I'm sure and determined to start from the beginning to improve our relationship, give me a second chance, Marva. Let me fight this time, fight to love our family, fight to win your trust again. It's not about mommy's request, it's coming from myself. I'll start everything, but give me another chance."

Powerless while saying that Handi shed tears, put his hand closer and then kissed Marva's wrist long enough.

Marva was at a loss for words, all spinning in her head. There's still a good side to Handi she's got, her husband isn't like any other man out there who can blatantly embarrass their household in public. Hutama's extended family has also accepted Marva to be a member of the family, Hutama's birthday party event as well as introducing Marva to the public the day is near. Narra was the important one, the girl innocently accepted Handi without regard to her father's former faults. With much consideration he accepted Handi again, even though his love had diminished.

As Handi said, let her husband start over, he will try to trust Handi. If Handi is ready to cover the memories behind, he will also try to forget the memories and turmoil that demanded he leave Handi. Marva will also try to eliminate the taste for Lefrando, the man is too good if you get a second-hand woman like him, Lefrando still has a great opportunity out there with good women.

"All right, I'm giving you a chance."

🌹🌹🌹

That night it rained heavily, preventing Marva from going to see Lefrando.

He wanted to refuse not to come for the reason of the rain, but it turned out that Lefrando forced him and was determined to meet them.

He managed to persuade Narra to go to bed quickly, Handi stayed in the hospital looking after his father-in-law. Mama's gonna be allowed to go home tomorrow.

The umbrella used by Marva does not fully protect his body from splashing rain water, still he has begun to get wet. Marva got out of the taxi and walked down the hilltop called Lefrando.

"Gatiff!!" his shout called out to the already soaked man up there, his voice covered in the rumbling rainwater. Take off the shoes so as not to slippery up the stairs, approaching Lefrando who was shivering.

"Why let your body rain?" he asked a little scream, then gave payumg to Lefrando.

Lefrando turned to face Marva, stroking Marva's face was a little wet and cold.

"You're coming!" he said he didn't believe. Almost he came home disappointed because Marva did not come, fortunately it did not happen when he saw the shadow of Marva from carrying the peak.

Stunned Marva felt pain, she returned the trembling of Lefrando's hand. Although covered in rain water, he knew Lefrando was crying.

"I love you, Marva."

Deg.

This statement was finally revealed. Marva's hand reflexes released her sparkle and dropped her umbrella, they were already exposed to rain together.

"I'm sorry I love you." I cant help but whisper in Marva's ear.

"Lefrando," Marva grabbed the wet shirt Lefrando was wearing.

"I'm sorry, I can't repay your love. But please don't be like this, you still have plenty of time to go after the woman you're supposed to love." And I will try to forget my feelings for you, I almost forgot myself and fell asleep with my feelings for you. I have a husband and that's where it should be.

Marva let go of her embrace and rubbed the water that was blocking her view, their distance was only a few cent.

"Thank you for the attention you gave us, thank you for the time and comfort you made for me when I was lonely. I-I can't follow you, go." she said a little screamed.

Lefrando just stood weakly in his place. It must be like this the fate of his love, but why should this hurt? "All right, I'm going." Saying that feels like a big rock in his heart.

As powerful as he held back the feeling of not crying anymore, he seemed to be a weak man for love.

Slowly Marva retreated backwards deciding to turn around. But when it was only half a round, suddenly Lefrando hugged him again.

"Let me hold you even longer to finish my longing. I still love you until this very second, let time help me reduce my feelings and my selfishness have you."

The rain had started to subside as their embrace took off. The rain also ended their love story, and the rain had covered their tears. Somehow the coldness of the air did not ignite these two people to meet, instead they felt warmth when hugging.

"I'm saying goodbye."

"I'm leaving." Marva slightly ran down the stairs, not wanting to turn back.

The shadow of the Marva shrank from above where they had been with a taxi that happened to pass by.

Lefrando gripped the iron buffer firmly, bowing his head.

Her wait ended in vain, Marva returned home to her husband's lap.

Sometimes he himself feels foolish to have loved another woman, foolishly also he maintains his feelings. But he and anyone can't deny what happened.

Love does not choose to be present to anyone.
