The Roxena Prison of Love
Chapter 95 Roxena Prison of Love

Gerald and Roxena's quiet days pass. No problems in their relationship. Currently they are preparing any gifts that will be brought for a family meeting later. High family gathering in less than a week.

Today they head to the shopping mall to buy gifts. Both wear matching and casual clothes. Using a tee shirt, wearing a hat, mask and sunglasses are in line as well. Monotonous indeed. But, that's cool. Most people say they are getting more peaceful.

Roxena advises on what gifts to buy. There were perfumes, ties, cutlery, and other items. Of course, buying all the goods with the best quality drains his finances. But only once. Gerald must give the impression of a good son-in-law, proving that he deserves to be with Roxena even though he is not as rich as Roxena.

“You didn't buy something, Xena?”ask Gerald because from now on they only buy gifts that will be taken to the family meeting. There were 10 paper bags he had brought. And Roxena brought two. Total 12 paper bags.

“Hm, I don't need any goods,” Roxena replied. If purchased without use, waste.

“Only am I very hungry,” Oh Roxena with her eyes. Gerald laughed crisply. Roxena is something.

“Then let's eat. What do you want to eat?”

They're heading to the food court. Go around looking for a stand that appeals to their taste. “Seafood looks good,” point Roxena to one of the seafood restaurants there.

They went into the restaurant. Order a large crab and lobster, and a few other menus. Do not forget to also order drinks and dessert, complete package.

“After this go straight home?”ask Roxena while waiting for the food to come.

“Where else are you going?”reply Gerald, he followed Roxena's wishes only. Roxena thought of a place.

“There's one place. I'm sure you'll like.”

“What kind of place is it?” Gerald curiously answered with Roxena's mysterious smile.

A few moments later, their order came. All are appetizing. They eat with gourmand. “Try this crab meat.” Gerald gave the crab the largest part of the claw, which was full of meat.

“Enak?”

“Hm.”

“We're lucky, Xena!”gerald said as he opened the crab's shell, getting the crab that had the eggs. It tastes so good. Roxena liked.

“That's delicious, try.” Roxena fed the shrimp meat to Gerald.Gerald agreed. This restaurant has a good presentation, the taste and quality is also good. It is worth a lot.

After finishing all the orders, they took a short break before paying and left the restaurant. “Hm.”

“What's up, Xena?”gerald asked, as Roxena stopped her steps. Roxena muttered something, indistinct.

“Sugar development. Suddenly I want cotton sugar.”

“Cotton sugar?” Gerald remembered the name and shape of the food. Ahh .. he knows. A snack that children love but will cause toothache if consumed continuously.

“You want that?”

Roxena nodded. “Good. Let's find.”

Roxena laughed showing her rows of teeth. They head for the car, after storing the goods in the trunk, Gerald drives the car away from the basement mall, looking for the cotton candy Roxena craves. Usually, often in the night market or traditional market, it happens that the day has also begun to darken. And there's a night market open.

“Wait for me,” Gerald said. Roxena nodded. Gerald went on his own looking for cotton sugar in the vastness of the night market. Roxena waited in the car while checking the incoming email.

Long enough, it took about 30 minutes for Gerald to come back with two packs of cotton sugar and one large bowl. There's a colorful ball that seems to be frozen, Roxena's foreign to the food.

“What this?”ask Roxena.

“On the banner it says dragon breathes. I was curious so I bought it. Let's try,” take Gerald, he tries first.

Gerald shuddered coldly as the nitrogen-coated snack touched his tongue, a cold sensation that he could exhale cold steam, just as he breathed in winter.

“Gas Nitrogen?”

“Hm. It's delicious, come on you have to try it.” Roxena would not.

“Don't eat that, you're a doctor but can't tell which one isn't. Do not buy food because of curiosity and attract it. But, must know the content in it,” Roxena's nag. He did not elaborate further because he considered that as a doctor, Gerald already understood the dangers of chemicals if not used in place. Actually, the snack is safe. However, it would be better to avoid.

Seeing that, Gerald kept his snack. Just one he tried. “Good. The cotton sugar has been obtained, where are we going?”

“So to the place you mentioned earlier?”

“Follow the maps.”

“Okay.” Gerald's driving following maps' instructions. And now they are on the river bank. The location is clean and the river looks very beautiful. The edges are sand rocks, not soil or mud. This is a beautiful place.

Gerald to the amazement. The moon looks so beautiful. The atmosphere of the night is not so cold, it is warm because it is autumn. Roxena came out with the cotton sugar that Gerald had bought and a bottle of wine. Right, there's wine everywhere. His car, room and workspace.

Roxena sat on the sand-mixed rocks, put down her wine bottle and then enjoyed the cotton sugar. It's sweet, it's normal. Though it was so wanted.

“Do not want anymore?” Seeing Roxena keep that cotton sugar back.

“No longer want. My wine is more interesting,” said Roxena greeted by a snort Gerald. Gerald snatched the cotton sugar and wine from Roxena's hand.

“Hey, give me back my precious wine!!”

“Sebentar.” Gerald checked his alcohol levels. Low, then return it to Roxena. “Do not drink too much.”

“This cotton sugar suddenly I want it.” Put cotton sugar into the mouth, in an instant disappear. Gerald used a shortcut to clench one of the cotton sugars into a solid lump. Then he enjoyed it.

Roxena started chugging her wine. There is no conversation. Equally enjoy the silence with a backsound of the sounds of wild insects.

"I am satisfied with my present life." Roxena re-opens the conversation. Gerald. When asked, Gerald felt the same way.

"I feel like all the goals I've made are almost accomplished. Next, I'll just enjoy life." Enjoying the life in question is to go through the routine as usual without dealing with things as they have recently happened. With no business with the royal family and no big things to disturb the household.

If there is a fight, it is common. Because a household without quarrels will feel bland. Note, quarrels will make the household more harmonious if responded well. Another story if both stones. Another story if only one dominates because it will often cause misunderstandings.

"Let's age together, Xena. Passing joys and sorrows together until death do us part." Gerald pulled Roxena leaning on his shoulder.

"Our dream is very simple. However, why are most implementations so difficult?"ask Roxena. Just want to live happily but more and more polemics are coming. Isn't that annoying?!

"Because that simple dream is so precious, Xena. To get it requires struggle and testing. So, a simple price is very expensive," responded Gerald. He stared at the night sky glittering with the moon and stars.

"So, we should cherish every happiness we get. We can't waste it. We should always be thankful to God."

"After I thought about it, I was guilty of it."

"Xena, you?" Gerald. The unexpected words.

"Xena, are you forgiving him?"

"I can't give up someone's choice. Including Mom's choice to hang on with Dad until he leaves in a way she doesn't deserve." Roxena closed her eyes. His mother loved his father very much. Even rather than divorce, choose to commit suicide as the wife of Mr. Lawrence.

"Actually I already knew that Dad felt very guilty about what happened to Mom, and was also very sad about my change. Yes even though I am very old, my childish soul is not lost. I who was upset chose to be cold and ignore. Who would have thought, even continue until now," Roxena chuckled.

"Bas on you! Make up with your father-in-law. I'm sure you'll feel better after doing it" Gerald said confidently.

"Maybe. Because the problem is not avoided. Injuries in the heart, we cannot escape anywhere because we always take our heart away. Moving away just reduces a little. The wound remains and will not disappear until we can make peace with it." Roxena looked up at the sky.

"You're right, Xena," agreed Gerald.

"The highest peak in life is a sincere heart. The heart that leads to peace. Unfortunately, even I can't do it myself" Roxena said, smiling wryly.

"I love you, Xena."

Roxena closed her eyes, smiling.

I'll tell you soon, Gerald. Sirius, be patient in a moment, son.

"By the way, Xena. What is this place?"ask Gerald.

"I used to use this place to clear my mind. The sound of water currents coupled with the sound of wild crickets helped me release stress."

"Ah, look at me." Usually stand up and look for some stones. He faces the river in a throwing position. "Look, the stone runs on water."

Roxena laughed happily. "Let's try, Gerald. It's not dangerous but fun." Deliberately reminding a little insinuation.

Gerald comes into play with the taste. Throwing a rock over the river. The first attempt he failed, the stone just sank. Roxena is again setting an example. From the start of the right gesture and suitable rocks to be able to walk on water. "Look it's very simple."

Gerald tried again. The second experiment was already better even though it could only be twice the jump. Back to trying and trying, the laughter felt so loose. Back they carved out a night filled with sweet memories.

Satisfied playing throwing stones into the river, they lay staring at the sky so beautiful. So many stars are visible tonight. The moon is still in its position shining beautifully.

"I'm so happy" Gerald said.

"This place is very interesting, isn't it?"

"Yes, very interesting. There is no need to spend an entrance fee, with materials provided by nature, we can be this happy" said Gerald. He enjoyed this impromptu date.

"It's not really an unfair world. The world revolves around the development of its inhabitants" said Gerald. What's wrong in the world? He was just a dead thing that was spinning around following the developments. Blame the wrong conscience of man whose justice has been eroded.

"Never seek justice in the world. Because it's hard to find one that's really fair. I have read that the true justice is the justice of God. Which has been told to us by the book."

Gerald tilted his body towards Roxena. "Xena."

"Hm?"

"Xena."

"Hm?" Roxena.

"Xena."

"What?" Roxena looked at Gerald, looking at him.

"I love you."

"Have you forgotten my words, Gerald? Just one confession to hold for a lifetime" decak Roxena.

"I knew. I just want to say it again."
