Patience in Wounds (Stupidity)
35. Hidden Sadness

°°°

The tension had already loosened slightly from Revan's face. He was definitely relieved to feel. After a few minutes ago he finished his struggle all along.

Quite satisfying, he thought.

Revan can't wait to start his new world. For a long time he wanted to tell his grandfather to retire but he forbade it. Tell him to complete his education properly before finally plunging into the world of work.

Different from the teacher who judged it earlier. They were stunned and gaping by what Revan said. For them Revan was already at the level of a genius.

Revan returned home afterwards, wanting to convey this happy news to grandfather. Though he also knew that his grandfather would not be home at this hour. It was just an excuse, but in his heart he wanted to tell his wife.

Whether conscious or not, Rara's current existence is already inherent in Revan's heart.

He had even forgotten that today no one was bothering him as usual. Revan who did not have a role in Febby from the beginning, now even the existence of the girl but not the girl as if it had never existed in his life.

"What a weird thing, why do I want to go home right now." Wonder him to himself.

Getting used to going home with his wife makes today feel something is lacking. Even on the journey felt very long, red lights also took a longer stalling time. He drove his car faster than usual.

,,,

In the big house Rara was engrossed with the servants, gardening behind the house.

"Bi, I'll take a little vegetable ya to cook later."

"Please Non, take whatever Miss needs," the waiter invited her non. Of course it is impossible for him to forbid, where he dared to forbid his employer.

From the time it was still in the village Rara used to love it when the harvest time arrived. He will be very excited to join Umi and Abi to their fields or gardens. Nimblely Rara picked the vegetables and took the tubers that were ready to be harvested.

I miss umi and abi.

After he finished his business, he intended to call his parents.

Rara's parents did not just run a factory tofu. They also grow vegetables, in addition to eating the rest they can share for employees. If it remains, it will be distributed to neighbors.

There are also some goats that are abi nya petihara. Not just for sale but usually some goats to sacrifice on Eid al-Adha.

Rara longs for life in her village, where the fresh air she can breathe. The coolness of the trees that calm the mind and the beautiful natural scenery stretches along the eye of the beholder.

But that doesn't mean Rara regrets her decision to marry. He is always grateful for having a new family like a grandfather who loves him very much and a husband who is actually good but only has not been able to touch Rara's heart.

Even so Rara did not give up, her patience could be described by the vast expanse of blue sky that was currently right above her head. If the wound erodes his patience, then there is still plenty of room left to maintain his household.

"Bi I'm done, I'll cook lunch first for sister Revan."

Although she did not know what time her husband came home, she still prepared food.

While Revan had just reached the front of the house, he got out of the car.

"What is Grandpa coming home for?" revan asked Bi Mur who was passing by him.

"Sir Grandpa hasn't come home yet." Bi Mur was astonished, shouldn't Mr. Revan have known. Bizarrely. Only in the heart but.

Revan looked around, his eyeballs through every corner of the room looking for something he himself did not know what it was.

"If miss is behind gardening, sir."

Why bi Mur's thinking is so precise, like the answer to Revan's confusion.

"Emmm. I'm not looking for him Bi." Revan dodged and passed past bi Mur.

Bi Mur shook his head, looking at the behavior of his master. He knows the character of Revan. Already since the young boy was born into this world, bi Mur took care of him.

Her lips said no, but she did not know what made her foot step into the backyard.

Sure enough he saw the wife with other servants taking care of his grandfather's garden. Under the scorching rising sun, the girl was as if she was not at all afraid of her blackened skin. Sweat was also seen flowing in his temple, but it added to his wife's level of beauty in its simplicity.

Revan long enough to look at his wife from a distance, a rare sight in modern times like now. There are girls who want to get dirty and struggle with the soil and mud.

Revan is unaware that Rara is in front of him at the moment.

"Son Revan's home."

Rara's soft voice resuscitated the man from his daydream.

Revan was misbehaved, trying to find an excuse if his wife asked what he was doing there.

"Yes, what are you doing?" It's weird, not that Revan saw what his wife was doing.

"Greens, this." Rara lifted a basket full of vegetables to show her husband.

Revan understood.

"What about Brother's trial, is everything going well?" ask Rara.

"Everything's good..." Thanks to do'a grandfather and you.

"Alhamdulillah, congratulations Brother. Then I'll cook first now."

Rara greeted him happily, her eyes sparkling between sweaty sweat around her temple.

Revan did not expect to get such a reaction from his wife. Congratulations may have been commonly heard in his ears. However, this time was different, the flash of light from his wife's sparkling bead of eyes made his heart warm up.

The village girl he once underestimated, now seemed to be the reason for him to go home.

"Thank you."

Revan was still looking at Rara's back which slowly disappeared behind the door.

Whether there is any wind, it turns out that today grandfather also came home faster than usual. He had heard everything from his men who had been guarding his granddaughter without the man knowing.

Not just graduating, Revan even got a satisfactory grade. Grandfather is proud of his granddaughter, if so he will not hesitate when introducing the grandson before the company's board of directors.

Now just need to hone a little ability and mental to lead the company. However, grandfather is sure if his grandson is able to pass through it all and will easily understand.

You will be a great man someday and prove to the world that a descendant of the Hermawan family is beyond doubt. Especially to someone whose grandfather knows where he is.

Grandfather's eyes looked far through the glass window of his car, regret would continue to lodge in his heart that he might carry until no later.

I'm sorry, I should have prevented you.

Living in the shadow of guilt, it was very torturous in Grandpa Tio's mind all along.

Yes Tio's grandfather always regretted his decision when he approved of his daughter's relationship with the brengseek man. Though they did not know the origin of the man who rescued his daughter in the street at that time.

Their love grew as Fina took care of the man painstakingly. They eventually asked for their blessing and got married.

There is no strangeness as long as they undergo marriage, both are happy full of love and affection. The initially hesitant grandfather finally softened a little after seeing the man able to make his daughter happy.

Until Fina became pregnant strangeness began to occur, from which the man often went out of town and stayed overnight. Then suddenly disappeared without saying goodbye.

Grandfather who was not like now, had not been able to deploy people to search. Only rely on the authorities and there is no result.

All of that was not easily forgotten by Tio's grandfather. Where he as a father for Fina felt devastated when he saw his daughter crying silently. It is like having no life to live.

to be continue...
