Chapter 30 Understanding the Wounds

Understanding the Wounds

"You spend a lot, but you're alone. Where's your husband?" ask Ardan.

"He's still working." replied Arin.

"Lo sure you can bring this much groceries alone? If you don't mind letting me drop you off, how about it?" asked Ardan to offer himself.

"No need. I've ordered an ojek online, it's reached the car!" arin said as he pointed at the car that stopped in front of him. Arin hurriedly pushed his shopping trolley. Not long the driver ojek out of the car helps Arin put his groceries into the trunk.

Not bear to see Arin who is in trouble, Ardan immediately helps Arin. But Arin seemed to have dodged him. Ardan realized that it seemed that Arin was really uncomfortable with him. But Ardan tried to give distance, because he only intended to help Arin alone.

Ardan was silent as he looked at the car that Arin was riding drove away. Trying to understand Arin's position is reasonable if keeping a distance with him is not like it used to be. Is correct. Arin even now has a great husband. He has long had his own family. The attitude shown by Arin is not evasive or uncomfortable, but a sense of courtesy and respect for each other. Ardan tried to convince the thought in his mind.

The distance to the apartment is only a few meters away. Arin's face seemed to smile when he saw Haru's figure who was actually waiting for him in front of the entrance gate of the apartment. The car stopped too. From outside Haru opened the door for Arin who then stepped down.

“I us you go straight inside,” said Arin.

“How can I bear to leave you who have spent a lot of shopping,” Haru said while closing the door again.

Before long the driver opened the back baggage door and began to help take out all of Arin's many groceries. Walk together into the apartment. Arin is amazed by Haru's power to carry four large plastic bags in both hands, and one bag Arin carries himself.

“Sini .. let me help.” said Arin did not have the heart to see Haru who brought a lot of stuff.

“Ndon't need. I can ... please push the elevator,” Haru said when he got to the front of the elevator — while raising his chin towards the elevator button.

“Ahh! Yes ...,” said Arin who immediately pressed it.

Haru had just finished washing the dishes after dinner together with Arin who was currently relaxing watching the show on television. Looking at Arin's head from behind, it looks so adorable that Haru can't stop looking at her. Picking up two bottles of soda cans — walk up to Arin.

“Against what?” asked Haru who was sitting next to Arin, but he gave a distance so as not to make Arin uncomfortable.

“2 Night 1 Day, korean reality show. Seruloh ..!” said Arin.

“Ahh .. so yes. Want cola?” asked Haru while thrusting out a can of cola.

“You like pickles like this?” ask Haru.

“Eung! The Korean event is exciting and varied, so it's exciting to make relaxing time,” said Arin unconsciously so excited, so excited, but he was immediately moody when he remembered that there were not a few people who did not like Korea, as well as Haru who might not like it.

“Sorry .. I'm unknowingly too excited if anyone talks about Korea. Want to change to another show?” arin asked as he hurriedly picked up the television remote.

“Ndon't need. I also want to know ... leave it alone ..” Haru said.

Arin was silent for a while as he looked at Haru who seemed not so serious while watching it. Not many people he knows, if he has heard Korea, they are just busy judging. But unlike Haru, he doesn't even show any coercion, he really enjoys it. Even a few times Arin could see Haru smiling every time there was a funny scene coming out of it.

“Can I ask you something?” ask Arin.

He looked towards Arin. “You ask what?” ask Haru.

“You are not at all afraid or uncomfortable near me?” ask Arin.

Sontak Haru was stunned to hear that.

“Many people who already know my weaknesses they one by one keep me away. I am a person full of wounds, even I can hurt people around me ... You are not afraid?” ask Arin.

Haru fell silent while thinking of one answer that might be able to answer a question that seemed to make Arin all this time suffer from loneliness.

“Then what about you? You're not afraid of me either?” ask Haru.

Then Arin was confused by Haru who asked him back. “Why should I be afraid? Although I have not known you for a long time, but I believe you are a good person,” said Arin.

“So is it with you. Why should I be afraid of you? You're a good person too. Well ... although a little careless .. but it's okay, I like to help you,” Haru said so gently that he touched the feeling of Arin who had long frozen.

“I've read a book from the author Geulbaewoo, in his book it says, ‘the more often someone gets hurt, the more difficult it will be for others to side with him. However, if you can act like that person then the loneliness will disappear. Because he thinks you're on his side. That means we are on the same side.” Haru said making the atmosphere so warm. Hara fell silent with teary eyes hearing such a beautiful sentence and seemed to hold her very tightly.

“Do not consider yourself bad and do not let others influence you to make you hard on yourself. Being a person who suffers and has many wounds is not a sin and there is no one to blame. Simply accept the wound and let yourself seek healing. I've heard that time can heal wounds. Thas right. Although it will take up to a lifetime, but it never hurts to feel sorry for yourself along with time.” said Haru.

Instantly Arin's tears that were stifled spilled — cried as if removing all the wounds and burdens that he had been holding him alone. Haru who looked at the crying woman in front of him, her heart felt torn to shreds. Without a second thought, Haru gives a hug to calm Arin — letting her cry without worrying about anything.

“Nangis aja... is okay, it's okay ... there I am here ..” said Hara while giving stroking Arin's head like a child crying.
