Prison of Love
Cheated

#57

I'm sculpting. For a moment I didn't even realize that my body was still here. It felt when I heard Hengky's sentence earlier, suddenly I was like being taken away into an empty room uninhabited, both together with confusion and fear that embraced myself.

Yes, I was confused looking for the right words to respond to his words. I have prepared my heart to hear any story. But, the story of him killing someone, that's beyond my estimation.

“O-okay... then?” only this word came out of my mouth.

Hengky sighed, “Quiet, Honey. I didn't kill him. Technically, until now the person is still breathing.”

I breathed a sigh of relief. Laughing I patted the back of his hand, “Yes Lord.. You almost made me die young in surprise!”.

“At that time I almost killed him if Brother Andy didn't come to prevent me.”

I didn't respond to his words. Deliberately waiting for the continuation of Hengky's sentence, let him finish his story completely without accusing him before hearing the full story of the incident.

 “At this time the person is in a coma. It had been almost ten years and that person was still relying on strange tools to survive. Their family is amazing, isn't it?” Hengky smirked, “No, not his family, but the important person who was behind him, who until now still faithfully protected him.”

“That person couldn't have you bludgeoning out for no apparent reason, right?”  Ah, I can't help but keep my mouth from asking.

The right corner of Hengky's lips rose upwards, his eyes glittering full of emotion, “That damn person is a papi affair. At that time they probably thought I wasn't home so Papi brought his affair into this house. Ah, crap! Why do I have to dirty my eyes to see the disgusting sight of them making out in this pool?!”

He let out a long sigh, “I couldn't hold back the emotions back then. It feels like even now I want to beat them up again!”

“Then where is that woman now? Are they still in touch?” tanyaku carefully. Fear of offending or impressing forced him to tell the details of his bitter experience.

“She was a boy.”

“What?’

“The affair of my father, he's a boy.” Hengky repeated his sentence.

Instantly I fell silent. Unconsciously my eyes widened, eyebrows shot up and my hands covered the gaping mouth. It never crossed the slightest when reading Hengky's diary at that time that his father's affair was a man.

“Yes. My expression at that time was almost the same as yours. Not believing, feeling disgusted, and feeling overwhelming anger. In front of my eyes they shamelessly did a very disgusting dirty deed. My God, it has been more than ten years but the anger I feel is still the same!”

Seeing Hengky clenching her hands tightly to hold back the emotions made my tears fall without me noticing. I immediately walked up to him and hugged him from behind. It's amazing that he faced so many family problems alone, he really worked so well to cover up and fight all the anger. The universe is testing it amazingly.

Hengky held my hand while bowing. He took a deep breath and whispered softly,

“Who said? You're a normal human being, honey. You can feel tired, you can be sick, you can cry, you can also complain to me about whatever you feel.”

I walked slowly and squatted beside him. Gently wipe away the tears from her cheeks while smiling, “I will always be there beside you. I promise.”

“You haven't heard my whole story, Naya. Maybe you'll change your mind after hearing the whole thing.”  Hengky lowered his head.

I grabbed Hengky's face, guiding his face towards me, looking up at me,

“Hey, no man is as strong as you, dear. You are stronger than you know. More capable than you ever dreamed, and you are loved more than you can imagine."

“I love you, Naya. I love you so much. It's just you I have..” Hengky biting lips, holding back tears that began to fog.

“Yes God, Hengky..”.

Seeing me who was about to hug him, Hengky immediately stood up and pulled my body first into his arms. He sobbed, his crying voice sounded bitter.

All this time he always tried to calm down, although occasionally he admitted the difficulty of controlling emotions but I think he managed to overcome it well on several occasions. He just felt very lonely for a very long time.

After his crying subsided, he let go of his embrace. Returning to grab my face while not turning her eyes away, her eyes slowly turned to my lips.

“It feels like I'd love to kiss this,” his finger rubs the tip of my lips gently, “But I know, I have to hold it.”.

My breath feels tight. My heart rate became irregular. I gulped while unintentionally my eyes turned to her red lips.

I. I really want to kiss her. That lip.

Suddenly a loud alarm rang very loudly in my mind. My reflexes rewinded the steps, making his hand slip away from my face.

“Ma-sorry.. i... i...”.

“I know, Naya. I-i know. I'll wait until you're halal for me. Until I truly deserve to be your husband. I will not repeat the same mistake.”

Hengky smiled gently. He rubbed my head and kissed my forehead covered with a hijab,

“Love you, Naya.” Soft whisper.

Warmed face. With full confidence I reply to her words, “Love you more, dear..”.
