One Night With Your Wife
The end of the long journey

The plane landed safely at Soekarno Hatta Airport. Then the gate of international arrival suddenly boisterous because almost all close relatives were present to welcome the return of Mama Widya and the Zavian family. 

“ I am very happy, you know when Zavian told me if you want to go home,”, said Aunt Tania after releasing a hug from Mama Widya. 

“ Welcome home, Ma'am. After this do not go again,” timpal Aunt Siska. 

Both of her sisters-in-law took turns hugging Mama Widya. There are sincere views from them, not just limited to pleasantries. Mama Widya's feelings suddenly burst until she had to wipe the clear water in the corner of her eye with her fingertips. 

The meeting after five years of separation turned out to present a terrible taste of haru. There was no longer a trace of hatred and cynical gazes as all of that had been erased by an apology. Now the warmth embraced them and promised a much better future. 

“ When Zavian took us home, it was like a dream. Because I thought I was going to spend my old days in America,” said Mama Widya.

“ The company has grown rapidly and Zavian is unlikely to ignore all that,” said Aunt Tania. 

Mama Widya looked at Zavian who was talking to her cousins. Mama Widya understood that the purpose of Zavian invited her home was not because of his company's business, but because his son did not want to continue to stay away from what he called the house. And, in that house also Mama Widya should spend time with people she calls family. 

“ Come on, we go home,” said Aunt Tania. 

Suitcases had been loaded into the car and they were preparing to make their way to the Rayyansyah residence. Mama Widya was in one car with her two sisters-in-law and they kept telling stories throughout the journey. Zavian and his family were in another car. 

Rayyansyah residence which for five years was quiet and cold is now back to festive. The servants and domestic workers have been asked by Aunt Tania to welcome the return of Mama Widya and the Zavian family. Then the silence changed with boisterous laughter and also warmth. Everything that used to be suspended alive again with a new passion. 

Almost everyone praised Zean who grew up to be a smart and polite child. He seemed happy to be surrounded by his cousins as well as his aunt. Meanwhile, Zia went up to the second floor while carrying her small bag. He then stood in front of a large frame that housed a portrait of his papa nuclear family. In the photo, he only knew his father and grandmother. While the other two men who were there looked foreign to him . 

Zianna stared fixedly at the male figure beside her papa. The man had a handsome face, but to Zianna his papa remained far superior and always occupied the number one position in his heart. No one can shift that position. 

“ Who sat next to Grandma was grandfather,” said Zavian who is now kneeling beside his son. Then his hand pointed towards a man who was beside him.“ And that's Om Fabian.” 

“ Oh , Om Fabian ya.” Zianna muttered softly, then she opened her little bag and grabbed something from there. 

A Disney princess action figure named Mulan stared fixedly at her. It was just a simple toy but Zianna never forgot it. Among the many toys he had, this was his favorite. 

Zianna had also repeatedly heard that this was a gift from Om Fabian, and now Zia was staring at the portrait of the man while holding a memento from him. 

Zavian then stroked the object in his daughter's hand. It was a gift for Zia that Fabian handed over to Zavian. Because at that time Fabian did not have much time to wait for Zia even one year old. 

“ Om Fabian says he loves you, Zi,” Zavian said. 

Zia nodded . He had heard similar words many times from his father. There are other people besides Papa, Mama, Brother Zean and grandmother who love him. Although Zia did not see her true form, but her feelings said that the affection was as genuine as the family she had right now. 

Their attention was distracted as Zean approached with Nayara walking behind him. Then they both stared at the family portrait that the real form of two people there no longer exist in this world.

Zavian's children did not know what his grandfather and uncle looked like. Even that memory had started to fade from Zean's memories of only meeting Fabian on his third birthday. But through the portrait, they realized that Adrian Rayyansyah and Fabian Rayyansyah would continue to exist and be remembered as part of this family. 

“ Thanks for the card, Om,” said Zia. He stared again at the object in his hand and then switched to a photo of Fabian with adhesiveness.” I love Om ,Bian.” 

“ I also love Om Fabian and grandfather,” Zean said. He looked at the two people with a look of admiration. 

“ Ah, yes. Grandpa too,” timpal Zia.” We love you both.” 

Zavian embraces his wife and children. A smile rose on his lips. A moment to regret the time that turned out not much for them to stay together. 

They love Fabian and Papa Adrian, although they are no longer in the world. The pain that once existed made Zavian realize that there was a much more beautiful sense on it that was love and compassion. 

Then a call asked them to gather in the living room with another family. Zavian took his son and wife away from there and their steps went hand in hand. Zia tried to take a moment to look back, look at the portrait then smiled, then away while holding her Papa's hand. 

At exactly eleven o'clock in the evening, the children were already sleeping comfortably. Zavian then asks permission to check his work for a while, while Nayara passes to the bathroom. 

Zavian was still sitting on the sofa while observing the macbook screen located on his thigh. When Nayara came out of the bathroom Nayara's face looked fresh with high hair and a fragrant body scent out spoiled Zavian's sense of smell. 

The satin robe that Nayara wore displayed her beautiful curves. Zavian then guessed what kind of underwear his wife was currently wearing. 

Zavian did not want to wait too long to resolve his curiosity. He stood up and left the macbook that no longer caught his attention. His hand mischievously crept into Nayara's chest and lightly brushed. 

“ Wah, No bra on ?” 

“ I want to sleep , By.” said Nayara. 

Zavian knows exactly what his wife's habits are after all these years of marriage, but there are always times when she'll act like a first-time pubescent teenager. His desire continues to explode with curiosity that wants to be resolved. Everything still feels so warm and exciting. 

Nayara poked her arm around Zavian's neck, locked her gaze, and received a kiss on her lips. Zavian further confirmed his kiss as Nayara's fingers pressed down on his nape and lightly brushed his hair. 

Zavian took off his kiss after they both gasped, then Zavian rubbed his wife's lips slightly swollen from his suction just now. His look was so adoring and full of love. 

“ Happy birthday, my wife,” whispered Zavian.

” Thank you for being born into this world and completing me, you are the most meaningful part of my life.” 

“ Thank you, for never forgetting my birthday,” Nayara said full haru. 

“ I will never forget the date my soulmate was born into this world,” Zavian said. 

They kissed again with their bodies growing closer. Then Zavian lifted his wife's body to lie on the bed. They make great love and Zavian smiles when Nayara repeatedly mentions his name in a long era and sensual village. 

“ I love you,” whispered Zavian at the end of a passionate romance. 

“ Keep loving me because I will love you forever too.” Nayara replied in between her breath. 

A hug Nayara received afterwards and she found comfort there. Zavian's embrace is always fun and can't be compared to anything in the world. 

“ Dear...” call Zavian slowly, find out if Nayara has slept or not finished the exhausting activity earlier.

Relief greeted his heart as Nay who was in his arms looked up and looked into his two eyes. 

“ Mention your request, I will grant you,” Zavian said. 

“ I want to age with you,” said Nayara. Just that, among the many joys Zavian had given him, Nayara would ask for nothing more than the desire to stay together forever. 

“ I'll grant,” said Zavian in a voice that sounded so sure.” We're gonna age together. We will witness how Zean and Zia grow up to be happy children with good personalities.”

...----------------...

As he promised, Zavian granted Nayara's wish that they would age together. Because in the years that followed, until a dozen years later, they witnessed how Zean and Zia grew up to be good and happy children.  

Zavian and Nayara did not burden their son by demanding to be a great figure who got world recognition. Zean and Zia just need to love each other and protect each other. Because life and past experiences have taught Zavian many things about how to be fair to his two children. Zavian and Nayara serve as parents who guide and support their son and daughter. Every important moment of his two children, Zavian and Nayara always took the time to attend. They would stand at the very front while clapping with eyes full of pride. 

When the children grow up and begin to choose to build their own lives, Zavian and Nayara still have each other. They continued together without letting go of the grasp. 

“ I am proud of our children,” said Zavian full haru.” All because of you, dear . You are a great mother in educating them.”

“ That's because they have the role model of a great father like you. You inspire them, By.” reply Nayara. 

Zavian grabs Nayara's hand and kisses her deeply.” We have worked well, yes. Thank you, Nay..” 

“ Though it feels like just yesterday I saw you crying when I gave birth to Zia,” Nayara said. 

“ True , the time feels so fast to pass. I miss holding them, but now it's not strong. Moreover Zean, very tight now,” said Zavian . She chuckles small.” But if I carry you I can still.” 

“ Don't need ! Later you end up in a hospital bed with a diagnosis of clamp nerves,” Nayara said with a laugh. 

“ Just great ! I'm not that weak yet,” argued Zavian. 

“ Lagian does everything, mending hugs aja,” said Nayara . She immediately hugged her husband who immediately received a warm welcome. 

There was a moment of silence that felt so sad. They should be grateful for every good thing that happens in this life. 

Then a coming memory brings the shadow of their first meeting. The times when they were teenagers and feelings were still full of doubt. Zavian had put his taste, but he chose to give in to his brother. While Nayara did not dare to step because her life was full of pressure.

Eventually fate leads them to a meeting point, on a night where Nayara is heartbroken and Zavian comforts her. Nayara's cry that night was eased by the glass of wine that Zavian offered and a sin was created afterwards.

Both of them became traitors, but strangely they seemed to have won something valuable. Unknowingly, that night the destiny of both intertwined with the bond of feeling that strengthened over time. 

There is a process of releasing shackles that are not easy so that sins and mistakes that have been created eventually get forgiveness . It takes years and thousands of miles. There are tears and also disappointed that must be muted so that the chest feels airy. But that process also makes them more mature. 

Their marriage was not always smooth and happy. There were cries, wounds, fatigue and a variety of other feelings. Zavian is not a flawless perfect man, sometimes he acts annoying and irritates Nayara. While outside sometimes Zavian smoked or drank alcohol, but he never touched any woman other than his wife. 

Nayara is also not a woman who always appears like an angel. Because sometimes the childish side appears and then he becomes spoiled, jealous and upset with his behavior. But Nayara never thought about leaving Zavian or considering other men. 

Now, after those years had passed, Zavian and Nayara sat together in a calm atmosphere enjoying old age together. They have become lovers, friends, and partners in pursuing various lives. Their feet have gone far in pursuit of dreams, their souls have been content to soak up the various flavors of life. Their hearts now felt at peace after completing the goal on a long journey. 

Zavian fulfilled his promise to age with Nayara. And, Nayara accompanied Zavian forever. “ I am grateful to be able to get to this point with you,” Zavian said. 

“ You have taken me on an amazingly great journey,” reply Nayara. 

“ For me everything feels great because there is you in my life and this journey feels amazing because I'm walking with you,” Zavian replied. 

They look at each other, then adore like they first fell in love. Then Nayara put her head on her husband's chest and Zavian's arms hugged her. To this day they still love each other, for life,

Forever.....
