Sincerity Love Aluna
Chapter 21

Iskhandar felt pain in his body, his face battered from being hit by a raw bogeman from his in-laws. He was compressing his wound with cold water, hoping it would heal. Plus, he had to find a new job. The new foreman fired him about yesterday's mistake.

Evening has arrived.

Iskhandar returned to his wife's room, since Aluna's departure made him realize that he could not live without the girl. During the existence of Aluna made him accustomed to being served, without him being grateful for the presence of an angel in his life. He lay his body on the floor with a mat while looking at their wedding photos.

Without feeling the corner of his eyes wet, he imagined how tormented his wife was. It must be difficult to live in a state of not remembering anything, like living with strangers would not be comfortable. Slowly his eyes closed dissolved in the daydream.

***

Iskhandar woke up, the day had shown the light. Even though his body hurts, he has to keep moving. His stomach was rumbling. Then open the window and breathe fresh air there while closing your eyes. When he opened his eyes he saw the figure of his wife standing up, he thought it was a hallucination. He shook his head to dismiss the shadow present.

"It's just a shadow, not a real one" he said. He did not pay attention to it, maybe in the contents of his head there is always his wife so whatever is in view there must be a form of Aluna. He turned his body and heard a voice.

"My husband." The word was clearly heard in the ear.

"No, it's a hallucination. Aluna doesn't remember me, my wife has forgotten who I am" she said. Quickly he went to the kitchen, took a drink and already poured the water into a glass.

"My husband." This time the voice was clearly heard.

Iskhandar was about to drink, even the drinking water had not been touched by the lips. Only the glass was on his lips. He sharpened his hearing, the call was no longer heard. Yeah, he's sure it's not real. He increased activity, drinking water to the toilet.

When he turned back, he was shocked. His wife is back. The figure felt real, he rubbed both eyes to convince his vision. When his hands were busy, suddenly someone stopped him. Iskhandar stopped his moving hand.

His hand felt grasped, Iskhandar opened his eyes. Believe it or not, his wife is back. Aluna came to see him. Iskhandar cupped his wife's face.

"Am I dreaming? Is my wife really coming?" iskhandar said while crying.

Aluna nodded, then came Bella. That girl brought him here. Bella is not in the heart of her brother's wishes, Aluna continues to urge him to bring them together. Behind Bella's arrogance, there was compassion for her sister-in-law. Everyone deserves a chance, although it is undeniable that he hates the man's rude attitude.

"Did you remember me?" asked Iskhandar, then he turned his gaze to Bella after returning to Aluna.

"Yes, I remember. But not completely, I remember our marriage" replied Aluna.

Iskhandar smiled and prostrated himself at his wife's feet. The man was crying, sad, happy mixed. "I'm sorry, I'm guilty" Iskhandar said. He stood up and hugged his wife.

"You can't be happy, my father still hates you. Actually I had to bring my sister here" said Bella with a sharp tone.

"Bella ...," protested Aluna.

"May I be here for a minute?" aluna asked, she saw the corner of her husband's wounded lips, plus his battered face. Bella seemed to think and weigh between allowing it or not. "Yes, okay. I'll pick you up later," continued Bella, unable to see her brother's sad face she gave permission for both of them.

***

Aluna was treating her husband's wounds, while looking at that face. Only this time she could touch her husband's face directly. Iskhandar never allowed his wife to touch him.

Aluna forgot that she was pregnant, so the news could not be told to her husband. They were in that position for a long time. Iskhandar did not let go of his gaze which had seen his wife.

"I'm sorry" said Iskhandar suddenly.

Aluna stopped her activity, putting the towel into the container.

"Are you not angry with me? My bad attitude towards you all along?" ask Iskhandar.

"You're my husband, where I might be mad at you" Aluna replied.

"I'm glad you can remember me back."

I don't know what they were talking about, Aluna was happy at the time. And they will convince their master. Iskhandar will ask permission to bring his wife back. Before long, Bella came to pick me up. She takes her sister home, but Aluna asks her husband to come along. She'll help her husband talk to his father. There was no choice, Bella finally invited Iskhandar.

They had all reached the residence of Mohan. At that time Mohan had come home from his workplace, then welcomed Aluna's return because he knew Aluna went with Bella. After the two daughters got out of the car, the figure of Iskhandar was seen. Mohan is shocked to find his daughter-in-law at his house. Then look at Bella as if asking for an explanation.

Bella explains that her brother has remembered her husband. But Mohan did not allow Iskhandar to take Aluna to the slum.

"No! Anyway I didn't allow it, that guy already kicked you out and abandoned you" Mohan said.

"Can't I leave Aluna?" Iskhandar remembered Mohan's words long ago, he could not divorce his son unless Aluna herself asked to separate.

"You're doing this because you know my daughter's condition, right? You feel sorry for her because Aluna is sick? My son does not need mercy, you know what disease my daughter has? Your future is still bright, look for your happiness" Mohan said.

"Dad ... But she's my happiness, don't you want me to see me happy?" ask Aluna.

"You need to know, my son will leave you soon. So, it is better than now that you accept that bitterness" he explained to Iskhandar.

"I will be with my wife no matter what" replied Iskhandar. The debate continued until Aluna fell unconscious again.
