PENGHALAM
Chapters 10. Rain Wash Lukaku

If you have ever felt rain when the sky is not cloudy, then you know it feels like tears come down when your lips smile.

The sky looked dark as a sign of rain coming down. Vira doesn't care about that. He walked out of the restaurant with a step.

O Lord, what more trials have you given this servant of yours. If this is the atonement for the sin I have committed, I am willing and sincere to live it. Set all the best scenarios in my life, I'll just live it all. Strengthen me under any circumstances. Patience me with any process, and open my heart to any outcome in my life.

Lightning was in the sky, and rain was pouring down on the earth. It was as if I was feeling the sadness that Vira was feeling right now. The woman walked on even though her clothes had been drenched in the rain.

Vira purposely walks in the rain so that no one knows she is crying right now. The woman also desperately hoped that the rain could wash away her heart wound.

Yudha came out of the restaurant, but did not see the whereabouts of Vira. The man thought, Surely his wife has returned to their home. Yudha runs her car to the road home.

Vira stopped near a park and sat on an available bench. Tears rolled down the woman's cheeks. Everyone who passed by noticed it. Maybe I'll see a woman crying in the rain.

God, I want to be strong. Don't make this heart fragile. I want to be strong. I want to carry out all these scenarios from You with a sincere heart. Rain, I hope that with you soaking yourself, I can remove all the wounds I feel. When love gives no meaning anymore, it only gives a heart-wrenching wound, as if it were night, where the rain never stops, but all this I must face because the journey of life will never stop.

Vira stood up and continued on his way. After walking far enough, the rain began to stop falling from the sky. Vira stopped the passing taxi.

"Sorry, Sir. Can you take me home? But my clothes are wet, for sure this will make your taxi wet" said Vira.

The taxi driver watched Vira. Finally he nodded. "It's okay, Mom. Entry only. I'll take you to the address you're going to" said the taxi driver.

As Yudha was about to wake her mother, the sound of a taxi stopped. The man abandoned his intention to wake his mother.

Yudha opened the door of the house, she saw Vira coming out of the taxi. The man approached his wife. Paying taxi money.

Without caring about Yudha, Vira went into the house and went straight to the room. He changed his wet clothes and immediately laid down his body.

Yudha lies beside Vira and hugs her waist. The man pulled his wife's body up.

"Darling, forgive me. If you're angry, hit me. Don't torture yourself like this. Why do you have to be rained on, later you can get sick," Yudha kissed the head of his wife.

"I know it is difficult for you to accept all this, but I beg you for understanding and sincerity. It's all for our good. Mas's son is also your son later. We can raise together" Yudha said.

Vira turned her body to face her husband. Smiling at her husband.

"Mas, after I thought earlier, I'm sincere and willing if you really want to get married again. But I also want to have one request" Vira said.

Yudha looked at his wife with a twitching forehead. What does Vira want?
