Rapa & Cleona: Keeping the Heart
132. Nothing Is Perfect

Once he finished his work, Rapa immediately cleaned his desk in the room. Since his wife came home from the hospital, Rapa asked his father for permission to work at home, unless there was a meeting that he had to attend, that was if it really mattered. To sign the papers, the secretary was the one who went back and forth between the house and the office. It is troubling, but Rapa also does not want to leave his wife who has trouble doing anything.

Not because he pityed, but because Rapa was too worried if she did not watch him directly. And luckily the father allowed it, as did his father-in-law who was in full support. Even the papa asked Rapa not to work which was important Cleona was fine. But Rapa of course refused, because after all he still needed money to support his small family, let alone his children who grew up need not a little cost, it was impossible for him to always depend on his parents.

“Wife, where are you?” call Rapa a little scream.

There was no answer at all, making Rapa frowned and began to worry so much as not to find his wife and children in the living room, in the kitchen, in the back garden. There was also nothing in the mother's room. But finally he could sigh in relief once he was in the main room and heard the sound of his wife's laughter.

“Here you turn out,” said Rapa so standing behind his wife. “Pillage I call-nothing nyaut.”

“Eh Brother,” Cleona turned her head and gave her beautiful smile. “Tadi Queen bored, so mom ngajakin to flush plants.”

Rapa pulled his wife's wheelchair slightly back, then lowered her head and gave a brief peck at Cleona's top. “Mandi first yuk, already afternoon.”

Cleona looked up then nodded.

“Mother, Queen & amenities watered yes, brother already ngajakin shower.”

“Okay dear, let the rest of Mother finish the same Bi Ani.” Sahut Lyra who was in front there, picking old leaves on his favorite flower plant.

After getting the mother's approval, Rapa then pushed the wheelchair occupied by his wife into the house. But then stop so remembering that he did not see the whereabouts of his two children. “Si twins to where, wife?”

“They were kidnapped by the Queen earlier, he said he wanted to be invited at his home.”

“Kok not permission brother?”

“Where do you want to abduct permission first? Brother mah likes weird,” delik Cleona even though Rapa can not see it.

“But it is not easy if you want to invite them to have to say first, Brother Papa his loh?”

“That said, if the permission used to be the same Brother will definitely not be allowed, so it is only the same permission Queen, and Mother.”

“Ya, ta-”

“Nothing Bang, for tonight permission Atu same our children, Queen sure really they can take care of the twins. Brother will know that Burma is the same Atu want to quickly have children, let the twins who become his bait,”

“After what kind of bait Brother children, until used fishing all!” rapa's snort rolled her eyeballs.

Rapa finally gave up and continued to push the wife's wheelchair towards the bathroom in her room. “Wife wait a minute, Brother want to take a towel in the closet.” Rapa kisses him on the top of his wife's head before stepping out of the bathroom, leaving Cleona.

Tears will always drip once Cleona is alone, because no matter how sad she feels. Cleona could not lie to her own heart that she felt pain given her current condition. But he never wanted to show it in front of everyone including his beloved husband. Cleona did not want to make the people around her worry. So, Cleona chose to keep her alone.

Before long, Rapa returned with a white towel in her hand which she then hung behind the door she had just closed. Luckily Cleona had already managed to wipe her tears and her smile had returned before Rapa approached her again and hugged her to move out of the wheelchair, then sat her in the closed seat closet.

“You use cold water what is warm water?” rapa asked as soon as he finished taking off the clothes his wife was wearing.

“Air is cold, let it be fresh.” Rapa nodded and complied according to his wife's wishes.

His wife's bathing activities have always done Rapa since still in the hospital and continues until now, there is not the slightest objection from Rapa to take care of his wife, petrifying Cleona bathing, changing clothes, and so on, even for every time his wife wants to go to the toilet, Rapa is always ready and does it patiently.

There is no tired word for anything he does for his wife, there was no complaint whatsoever for his wife's current condition as Rapa's love for Cleona did not judge from the flaws or advantages his wife had, but she was sincere and wanted to make Cleona the only woman who would accompany her until death came, even in all her shortcomings.

As soon as he finished wrapping the towel around his wife's body, Rapa again carried Cleona to the room and placed her on the bed, after which she put her pajamas on her beloved beautiful woman.

“Thank you husband.” Cleona gave a kiss on her husband's right cheek.

“No need to say thanks, dear. You are his wife Brother, Brother's responsibility, so whatever you will do for you.” A sweet smile was engraved on Rapa's lips, then one kiss long enough, the man gave it on his wife's forehead. To make Cleona's tears drip without command.

“Kok cry?” Rapa wiped the corner of his wife's watery eyes, as she pulled her face away from Cleona's forehead.

“Queen is happy, having a husband like Brother,” Cleona's tears come back to drip. “Thank you for being bothered by Queen, thank you for patiently taking care of Queen, thank you for your sincerity in accepting the Queen's shortcomings, and there are many more words of thanks that Queen wants to convey with Brother ...”

Rapa's kiss returns to the ground, and this time in both eyes Cleona, her beloved beautiful woman. Rapa's thumb moved wiping the tears that had flowed on his wife's cheek. “No need to thank you for all that, baby. Everything you do, because you love you. There is no woman as perfect as you in your eyes. What else have you given birth to two adorable heroes like Nathan and Nathael.”

“Uhh, why Brother is so sweet, anyway!” gemas Cleona pinches her husband's tapered cheek. “Make Queen love more."

“Whose husband used to dong?”

“Her husband Queen.”

The two then laughed, and Rapa grabbed his wife in a hug. “Remember dear, you should never feel inferior about your current condition, never feel burdened, and never feel yourself imperfect, because no matter what your circumstances, you are, My brother will still love you. Brother will never go from your side and Brother will never let you go, even if you ask him.”
