Quiet Wife
48. Returnees

A week has passed since Calvin began waking up from a coma. Calvin was starting to be active as usual. His limp feet could not stand, everything returned to normal. Unfortunately, Calvin is still locked up with Naima at the same hotel.

Nothing happened between the two. Just ordinary things, where Naima often acts spoiled to Calvin, which always ends with Calvin not heeding him.

Just like what's happening right now. Naima took Calvin on a trip to the coast. The woman continued to chatter spoiledly to Calvin, as if Calvin were his lover.

As for Calvin himself, he was still reluctant to speak. His mouth was tightly clenched with a flat expression full of pressure.

Calvin wants to go home and see Naura. But because of Naima, Calvin always undo his intentions. Especially when every day the woman always shows a portrait even a video of Naura's togetherness with foreign youths who look increasingly familiar.

Unfortunately, Calvin who was initially still firm on his confidence, slowly the sense of it gradually began to melt.

Has Naura really forgotten him?

What would happen if Calvin went home and met Naura, but his wife was with another man instead?

What should Calvin do?

"Calvin's? How come you're dumb, anyway?" A slow pat on Calvin's arm, instantly awakening him from the reverie. His head reflexively turned to look at Naima who had not yet looked tired showing the hue of falsehood.

Both Calvin's eyebrows furrowed deeply. It was like Calvin was yelling at or getting rid of Naima's hand that was boldly hugging her arm.

"Cal?" Naima said she was confused by Calvin's expression. Lazily, Calvin snorted while throwing his face away from Naima.

The smile on Naima's face slowly began to wear off due to Calvin's inertia. During this whole week, Naima was never absent to give her attention and sincerity to Calvin. Unfortunately, Calvin was still. Cold and untouched.

Actually, where's wrong? Think Naima.

"Ekhem. Cal, look, deh. The sea is great, right? The blue sky is so bright. Lo-"

"the sea? The sea? Seanna's? Seanno?" Naima looked confused at Calvin's grunts.

"Lo, what the hell is that?"

"No. I just think of a name that is suitable for my future children." Silent. Naima was immediately silenced by Calvin's speech.

Why does it feel so painful? Was Naima wrong to separate Calvin from Naura?

No matter how hard Naima tried to break through Calvin's defensive wall, Naima still could not destroy it.

Honestly, if it continues to be so, Naima is also tired! He also wants to be loved by Calvin, as Calvin never misses loving Naura.

Was I wrong all this time, huh? Am I sincerely Calvin and ... No! Awake, Naima! It's just about time! I'm sure in a month, Calvin's gonna love me the way he used to! Yeah, that's for sure.

"Cal, we-"

"Seanno Angkasa Regartha, Seanna Claudia Akmilia. Between these two names I am sure will be suitable for my prospective children. First option if my son is a boy, second option if my son is a girl." Naima is increasingly made silent when Calvin continues his speech without even inviting Naima to enter into his chat.

Damnit damnit!

"Fuckin!" Slowly, Naima released her embrace on Calvin's arm. His head lowered along with the drop by drop of tears that fell down his face.

"Lo's always curious, isn't it, how come you could end up here with me? I'll tell you a story." The phrase made Calvin then turned his head and focused his attention on Naima.

And, yeah. It makes Naima more sure if Calvin, forever will not turn to love him.

"On the reunion event that time the schedule accelerated, actually it was my idea. I told the insiders to speed up the show."

"So from the beginning you're the one who fucked me?" Calvin's expression turned murky, and it made Naima distraught.

"No! That's not. I'll beat you to the end, I beg you!" Just as Calvin was about to leave, Naima hurriedly prevented him. Because he was already carried away by emotions, Calvin brushed off Naima's hand while throwing his face.

"My original intention was to get you there. Pretend to be an accidental meeting. And ..."

"And what?" Calvin's tone of voice sounded so low that it made Naima shudder to hear it.

"Th-this is the new plan. I beg you not to get angry and beat me up, okay?" Calvin snorted in annoyance and clucked. His head nodded lazily.

"Gu-gue ... have plans to trap you at this hotel. My hope is, you woke up in the same hotel I was next to you. But everything failed when I heard the news that you were dragged by a sea storm.

"Continue?" Calvin still felt something was up. And Calvin wants to scrape it all.

"Terus .. a few days later, I was horrified your family kept nyariin lo. I'd love to tell your family, but my evil side says to keep this secret so you can stay by my side to this day."

Calvin chuckles sarcastically to hear the end of Naima's speech that seems like a fairy tale. Too fake to believe.

"It's serious, Cal! And now, I'm mrs. I'm sorry, yeah, Cal! You can leave now." Calvin's oddity stopped when he heard another utterance from Naima's mouth. His head turned back to the woman who looked down deeply, as if she was truly sorry for what she had done.

"Greet Naura, say that I am the mastermind of everything. He may not forgive me, because I also realize, my mistake is too fatal. From now on, I will never appear in front of you or your wife again. Now, you're free, Cal! You may meet your beloved wife who is pregnant."

"It's not a trick, is it?" To be honest, it was too early for Calvin to trust Naima. It seems impossible, but Calvin is eager to trust him so that he can soon meet Naura.

"Sorry, yes, Cal! Naura's at her papa's house again if you want her to go. From here it's only half an hour. And I assure you, between Naura and the guy who was always in the photo that I love you, they never had a special relationship. May you live happily. I'm ... I'm really sorry!"

...****...

"Naura, I .. pamit, huh?" Before actually going to the airport, Ivan chose to say goodbye first with Naura. After the apparent rejection of Naura that day, Ivan decided to stop bothering Naura.

As Ivan read in an internet forum, "Leliminating the departure of a loved one is not easy. It took a long time and process to get back up as before."

"I'm sorry, yeah, Van! Hopefully out there, you can find the most perfect woman who will understand and love you completely." Naura stretched out her hand, hoping Ivan would shake her hand.

Having been silent for a while, Ivan accepted Naura's sincere hand and held her for quite a while. "Doain, yes. I will also doain you, hopefully on the day of labor later, everything can go smoothly. Then I'll say goodbye."

"Aamiinu. Thanks, yeah, Van! Be careful on the road!" Naura let go of her hand. And it made Ivan more aware to immediately move from there.

With a heavy heart, Ivan smiled with a smile as he retreated his steps. "I'm saying goodbye!" Said Ivan again, waving his hand. Afterwards, without any intention of longer, Ivan began to enter the car driven by his father's private driver.

And, yeah. Ivan's goal this time was, go home. Go back to where he came from or maybe go to Switzerland like he said to Naura.

Switzerland was Ivan's dream country of dreams that if one day, Naura became his. But it seems, Switzerland will be Ivan's escape country to forget Naura.

Ivan's car had completely gone from the courtyard of Naura's house. Now, Naura was alone.

Disappointed naura?

Of course not! Ivan deserves a lot better than he does. Now, everything is clear. Even if Calvin does not exist, Naura will live for the sake of her future baby.

With slow steps, Naura walked towards the wide open door of her house. Not yet had his feet set foot on the porch of the house, the sound of a car engine was heard entering the courtyard of his house.

When she turned her head, Naura thought it was Ivan who came back because he had forgotten something. But it was not Ivan. The flat number and the car are not the same as Ivan's.

Both of Naura's eyebrows frowned when the figure behind the car glass seemed to rush to turn off the engine and unbind the seat belt. When the car door began to open and began to reveal an unexpected figure, from there Naura was made shocked to be speechless.

"Mas Calvin?" Naura grumbled softly, still unable to believe what she was seeing at the moment.

Time seems to stop spinning when no one among them chooses to approach each other. Both of them seemed to be both shocked and incredulous at what was currently happening.

"Naura! I'm home!" At that moment, Naura seemed to be pulled back into the real world. Her tears fell with her legs, and she quickly ran towards Calvin.

Same with Calvin. The man glared as he saw his pregnant wife running to get to him.

"Naura, don't run!" Calvin catches Naura's body and ends up hugging her tightly which feels filled.

The crying of the two broke out along with their embrace that felt so real.

No, it's real!

Naura thought Calvin would come back to her. God had so kindly accepted his prayer and brought Calvin back to his side.

"You're finally home! I'm so happy! My prayer finally came. Calvin, my husband is back!" Naura could not help crying and haru. It all happened so suddenly. It doesn't feel real, but this is what happened.

"Sorry, I just got back! I promise, I won't leave you again! Unless I'm really gone for good."
