The Sweetest Harsh
Episode 77 - Guest

“You don't have to do it now, maybe someday if you really have calmed down,” persuade Alfa for the umpteenth time when Tiara was still strong on her wish. The woman did seem more resolute, but, the man knew very well what his wife's inner being was like at the moment. Tiara had just been able to heal herself and was about to approach the wound again? What if what happens is that the woman is depressed because her wounds are gaping again?

Tiara snorted in annoyance. Feeling paused to linger arguing with Alfa. Yes, maybe this is too early, but, the presence of a little girl who continues to overshadow her dreams makes her not calm. He had to finish all the fog that enveloped him so that he could really feel relieved completely, as well as Nadia who might be, he was not happy to see his mother continue to remember sadness.

“Good.” The woman stared lazily at her husband. Alpha who got the reaction as he wanted was smiling with satisfaction. Unexpectedly, however, Tiara stood up from her seat and grabbed the keys of the car lying on the table. “If you don't want to drive, well I'll go alone,” break it quickly, step away to make Alfa hastily block his wife's wrist. The man exhaled a rough breath and looked at his woman with a sharp look. Very stubborn. Do you not know how desperate the man was with all the fatigue that he had to press so agonizing that he could keep smiling with his heart crumbling dimly against himself who was in a slump? Worshiped herself until now that the woman can recover as she is today? Oh, and now with all his heart he's stretched out to keep going?

“Discover the key,” command Alfa by hand raising. “The journey is very far. Let me drive,” he said.

Tiara looked at Alfa's face with a deep breath, looked for a moment at her husband's right hand, which was hanging in the air, and reluctantly put the key back into Alpha's hand. The man then stepped up while still holding Tiara's hand. Do not want if the woman changed her mind again especially to insist to go alone. Alfa's attitude made Tiara like a prisoner who was being handcuffed so as not to escape.

The woman obediently complied with the Alfa who was half-angry to face her frustration. Walking behind her husband's body with her right hand held tightly by the man.

Both fasten their seat belts and sit quietly in their seats. Enjoy the ride comfortably, even though the air of the feud is still thick in the cabin. Neither Tiara nor Alfa said a word to talk. They prefer to keep quiet with the man who continues to focus on his wheel and the henchman Tiara, staring at whatever is displayed from the side glass of the car door he is riding on.

Their journey is very far. Passing through several cities with different road conditions until later they arrived in the city of Metro, where both previously lived.

How much she missed her mother after nearly eight months she and Alfa left her old home, longing for the hustle and bustle of her city, longing for the air that is familiar with his lungs that he must now leave behind.

Yep. Tiara decided to stay in Flower City. Become a permanent citizen there and unite themselves with the green nature that has always been him. Already he decided to leave all his life first, let go of his old hopes including burying his pulse there.

Ah, that fresh breeze inhaled from his sense of smell was slowly splashing out a longing that was slowly creeping shamelessly on all sides of his heart. Perhaps Tiara was not prepared for this, but, the desire to meet was too strong to defeat everything, until he ventured to take this journey, meeting the heart of his heart that had been well-grounded.

Alfa's car stopped in a very quiet parking lot, right in front of a magnificent white-piled archway towering on either side. Tiara and her husband descend together, then walk side by side.

The woman's heartbeat grew more irregular with her steps that drew closer to the inside. Oh, the thick, nose-piercing scent of frangipani flowers welcomes their arrival.

Alfa quickly took his wife's fingers to the place they were going. Squeezing it firmly, diverting the woman's increasingly visible nervousness. Until they arrived at the side of a small earth mound with a sprinkling of dried flowers. They sit on a desk and secure the body to sit there.

Tiara glued to the ground in front of her. Apparently, Alfa deliberately placed the tomb of their little daughter next to the tomb of Nicholas, her father. He was happy, because in his sitting this time, he could see in one look at the tombs of two people who were so dear to him. Oh, how long has Tiara not been visiting this place? It feels like it has been a very long time since it was traced from the traces of his memory.

Alfa looked at his wife who was sitting while covering her mouth with her two cupped hands. Praise and praise his Lord. True, Tiara may have been able to control himself after a long time passed, until now, the woman looks solemn in her visit to the sacred place.

The man also looked at his daughter's grave with a hariu, remembering how he looked at the little girl before the tiny face could no longer be seen buried in the ground. Can he see his parents coming now? Oh, perhaps she was laughing with her baby's distinctive voice in the lap of the goddesses of heaven. Living happily in his place. Maybe this old and broken mortal realm is not suitable for her baby who is so holy and awake. Perhaps, Alfa and Tiara are only allowed by the Most Merciful to take care of Nadia for some time.

The woman stuck her hand out to the ground. Gently rubbing the mound like a mother who is fondling her child. Expose love that now can only be limited to that which he can do. Tiara smiled, then sprinkled the fresh red rose petals she had prepared, sprinkled them on her father's grave, and placed two bundles of various flowers onto each mound.

Alfa allowed his wife to do her wish, looking at him with a smile. How he saw the relief so real in the face of the Tiara. Now, the woman no longer wailed. He is calmer with full of resignation. Shewed his daughter's departure with all prayer and hope, may one day they meet again in eternity.

Tiara looked at her husband with a smile then nodded her head. Stopped their dogs this time. The two then stood up, Alfa embracing one hand with the woman leaning her head on the shoulder of her man. Desperate each other, stepping again towards the life that the universe still gives them. Fill the opportunity with the best love.

“I want to visit Mama.” Say Tiara after all this time. Alfa looked at his wife for a moment and nodded her head. Step back on the gas pedal and drive the car away from the burial ground. Towards the other longing estuaries that they must scrape by meeting.
