Patience in Wounds (Stupidity)
23. The Wound that Returns

°°°

Revan raised a call from Febby and intended to talk about their relationship, because from the beginning he also lived the relationship not because of love and during his life also love never grew in his heart. Maybe this is God's answer if Febby is not his match.

"Call..."

"Sir.. hyks, hyx."

There was the sound of crying from Febby's innocent voice.

"What's wrong, you're okay, right?" ask Revan.

"Your brother..."

"Why with a Viennese Aunt?"

"Mamah passed out in her room and apparently she had brain cancer but never told me. She hid it from me and endured her pain alone."

"You calm down first, slowly tell me."

"I was very sad and devastated when I found out that my mother was sick and her life was not long in this world. Hix, hyx, hyx."

"Calm down, there's gotta be a way out. Did you ask the doctor."

"Mamah doesn't want to go to Van's hospital, he says treatment will only make him sick and his hair falls out."

"You must not cry, pity your mother if you see your sorrow. Tomorrow I'll try to persuade Auntie to seek treatment."

"Thank you Van, you're all I have right now. Stay by my side so that I'm strong enough to face everything, I don't know if there's no you at this time I'll tell you and lean where."

"Alright, take care of your mother and don't think too much. Rest assured that there are still many people who love you."

Revan put back his phone with an erratic feeling.

Didn't expect that Aunty Vienna suffered from such a disease, even though what Revan saw so far he was very fresh and healthy. This time he had to hold back again and talk about their relationship after the situation and conditions allowed.

It's also a pity that Febby if I cut ties now, he would be devastated to find out the reality about Aunt Vienna. I hope my decision wasn't wrong this time.

Revan breathes rough, in the end he decides to postpone it but there is something stuck in his heart, actually he does not want to hurt Rara again.

The next day, as usual, Revan left for college with his wife. However, this morning he looked lethargic as if thinking of something.

Yes, all night he couldn't even fall asleep because he thought about the complicated relationship problem he created himself. When he wants to end his relationship with Febby and wants to try to start over with his wife, there comes a problem that makes it difficult to end the hassle.

"Is there anything that's bothering Revan's mind?" rara asked, since at the dinner table she had felt the change in her husband's attitude.

"No, it's nothing." Revan smiled at his wife, hoping she didn't think much.

Although Rara realized that there was something her husband was thinking about but she did not ask further.

Arriving at the college and just getting down from the car, there was a woman who rushed into his arms.

"Van, you're finally here."

Febby hugged Revan in front of Rara who was still there and saw her husband hugging another woman.

Revan did not react to any of his hands not at all returning the embrace. Until he saw his wife's eyes glitter, he realized it was wrong and tried to let go of Febby's embrace.

"What's the matter Feb, don't be like this."

Revan is uncomfortable.

"Please leave Van for a moment, just by holding you then I feel a little calm."

The woman clearly took advantage of the situation, sobbing and increasingly tightening her embrace, hoping Rara was upset and immediately walked away from her lover's life.

"I went in first Sister" said Rara, who could not stand what was in front of her but still smiled as she told her husband. Although a sense of tightness rippled out, it was as if something was squeezing his chest at this moment.

"Wait..." Revan massages his temple to see Rara who is further away, eager to chase after his wife but unable to.

Febby flashed a smile in Revan's arms, he succeeded this time.

It's just the beginning, smiling slyly.

Now they sit on a chair in the garden, with Febby still teary-eyed.

Perhaps if it was Rara who was crying in front of him, Revan would have definitely wiped away those tears with his hands. However, at this moment he felt nothing at all as Febby cried before him, only pitying himself as a fellow human being who had also felt a sense of loss.

"Here, wipe away your tears." Revan gave Febby a tissue.

"Thank you."

"How are you doing right now?" ask Revan.

"You don't want to go to the hospital, he said it's better to spend the rest of his time at home with me."

"Please help me persuade you, Van. He likes you so much that he'll obey if you ask." Febby pleaded with Revan's hand.

"Later I try to talk to him. Let me take you to your class." Soon Revan brushed off Febby's hand slowly without touching him.

Why every time I come into contact with Febby, I always have Rara's face.

,,,

The heart of which wife is willing to see her husband cuddle with another woman. That was how Rara felt at this moment, she was in the toilet with tears that she could no longer bear. He cannot cry in front of others, or they will wonder why he is crying.

Hiding behind the toilet door is the only option for Rara, who wants to cry out for her wounded heart. The naughty tears just escaped from her eye sling. She repeatedly told herself she had to be strong and patient but her heart could not be lied to, automatically throbbing pain when she saw her husband's closeness with another woman.

I thought yesterday was a good start to our relationship, sis, but it was as if you pushed me to the brink afterwards.

Millions of wounds seemed to stab Rara's body at this moment. Anger, jealousy and heartache mixed into one but he had to be patient because the sacred bond they were currently living was not a playable thing.

Rara was still trying to wipe away the tears that had soaked her cheeks, not wanting anyone to see her later. Patting her cheeks, hoping she would wake up from her nightmares.

"Huh...." Rara tried to take a deep breath and let it out slowly, to calm her mind.

Come Mahira Nareswari, you must not be weak. Let's fight, there's God who loves this relationship.

Encouraging yourself is the right way right now. After feeling quite calm Rara came out of the toilet and returned to her class.

"Rara.." cried Lia as she saw her friend just entering the classroom.

"Hi, morning Lia." Rara smiled at her friend.

"Where have you been, I've seen Revan's brother come in the parking lot. I thought you were in class but it wasn't."

As usual a fuss that Rara could not avoid but it was quite successful at keeping her entertained.

"I went to the toilet for a moment. What's looking for me?" ask Rara.

"There's nothing just that I miss you, hehehe." said Lia grinning the horse.

"You're that..."

"Eh wait." Lia noticed her friend's face more precisely Rara's slightly puffy eyes.

"Have you cried?" tanyakanya.

"Haa. no, what am I crying for," elak Rara, she also tried to turn her face away.

"You're not lying, why are your eyes so full of tears?" Lia was still curious.

"Maybe it was due to an accidental influx of dust like that."

Rara hoped that Lia would not ask any further.
