News of the deadly incident that killed Rafael Adiwangsa and Eliza Pataya is now being broadcast on various television, internet, and print media. Two large families seem to be grieving, especially Lizy's parents who did not expect her daughter to be found in a terrible situation with her fiance.
Scandal about forbidden romance both also overflowed to the surface. I don't know who started it, but some media tells of the couple betraying each other's hearts. They both like people's partners even though they are tied to an engagement rope.
Narendra was grateful that his name and Glacia were not involved. If that happens, Narendra will sue the newsmaker on unsubstantiated and defamatory charges. Narendra did not want Glacia stress to think of such an assertion. It was enough all this time he was bothered because many times he became a victim. This time Narendra will be more assertive on whatever happens to Glacia, and focus on the woman's treatment which is delayed several times.
A soft sound was heard from the bed. Glacia blinked her eyes, her head moving to and fro in search of comfort. "Naren .." whispered, almost without a sound.
Narendra who had been waiting in the chair next to the bed immediately stood up. Both of his hands touched the side of Glacia's face, trying to calm the woman's restless look. "It's me" he whispered.
Glacia's vision began to focus, which was when her hands quickly moved around Narendra, then cried while drowning the face in the man's chest.
Glacia sobbing squeezed Narendra's shirt-clad back. Narendra let, he even grabbed the woman back while rubbing her full of tenderness.
"Shhtt ... Now you're safe. No one else would dare to hurt you."
"Belgium ... Lizn ..."
"Shut. It wasn't your fault. All of this happened because of their own mistakes. Please don't blame yourself, Glacy."
Glacia's cry sounded bitter. Narendra could catch the unrest in it. He knew Glacia was still shocked by what had happened. It is the same. Narendra never even thought their end would be so tragic.
The door opened, and John hurriedly approached his daughter, who was hugging Narendra. Narendra who understood also released his embrace plan, until now Glacia's body moved to the father's deck.
"Papa's Glacy ... Praise God, this beautiful boy can come back. I'm so thankful you're okay, son. Some days Papa's fretting, afraid you're going through something bad again." John's voice sounded trembling. "Papa is very grateful that Narendra can bring you home safely. Papa is grateful."
Glacia is still as much. His tears now wet not only Narendra's clothes, but John's clothes as well.
"Mr ..." Glacia wanted to complain, but she could only roar because her feelings were too difficult to pin down. Glacia was tired, she was really tired of all the problems that lately did not stop surrounding her life.
"Quiet, Honey. The criminals have already got their reward. God does not sleep, He knows when to punish sinners."
After the examination, Narendra sat next to Glacia. He half-layed his body, stretching one hand over Glacia's head to embrace the woman. "Sleep again. Rest. A few days ago you must have felt uncomfortable being in a foreign place," he said, wiping the strands of Glacia's hair very carefully because of the fall.
According to Glacia, he nodded as he secured the position beside Narendra's body. Narendra smiled at that.
"Stay here until I wake up" whispered Glacia. His eyes began to close with regular breathing, until then he fell asleep again calmly.
"Sure," replied Narendra in a whisper.
John who saw the warm interaction was moved. Next to Narendra's dark secret, John knew the young man loved his daughter very much. He can't even do anything to counter Narendra's feelings, because the son-in-law has many ways of defending what already belongs to him.
"Papa came out first" he said, who was embraced by Narendra.
Narendra even said before John left. "Papa can take Julian if you need a friend."
John smiled at Narendra's words that were cheered on by the attention. "No need, Papa wants to be alone right now."
"Papa titip Glacia. He seemed comfortable with you" he continued, then opened the door and exited, leaving Narendra with silence.
Narendra was silent for a long time with a glaring look. His breath was long stifled and then followed by a murmur. "Eventually all this is done. Glacy, if you'd known, I'd feel as tired as you.
But then he smiled, his head lowered to the face of Glacia who was fast asleep. "From now on, I hope happiness can come to us quietly."
Narendra ducked kissing Glacia's old forehead. "May God be generous to a sinner like me. I want to have you, to feel your love without being overshadowed by another man who doesn't know himself because he likes you. You're mine, Glacia. Forever will be mine."
Narendra's whisper was accompanied by the ticking of the clock that reverberated smoothly in the room. He dropped his head beside Glacia. Hugging the woman with subtlety before finally being closed in comfort.
After all the events that Narendra faced, he was finally able to sleep soundly with the woman he loved.
This is a luxury for Narendra, because they had never slept next to each other before.
