Wedding of the Eldest Princess and the Bungsu Son
Trying To Be Good

This morning Abel started doing his usual activities, making breakfast for Gala and also helping her get dressed. She painstakingly put a tie around her husband's neck.

"You really think I'm staying?" Ask Gala.

"Father, I'm not going anywhere either" Abel replied without taking his eyes off the tie he was tying.

Gala noticed Abel's face, yes at least he was much better, although he did not look happy as before. Abel cleaned Gala's suit, after which smiled faintly. "It's done."

"It's a smile, I like it when you smile" Gala said, stroking Abel's cheek.

"Yes, let me anter ahead" Abel asked.

Gala nodded and followed Abel way out of the house. When he got outside Abel looked back at Gala's appearance, afraid that something might change a little. "You don't forget lunch, don't get too suspended too much if you have a lot of work, '" said Abel.

"Yes, Honey. I will not forget, it is forgotten. You also eat regularly, take the medicine too huh? Don't miss it!" Reply Gala.

Abel smiled and afterwards kissed the back of her husband's hand. Gala kissed Abel's lips at a glance, after which he said goodbye. "I go first. Assalamualaikum."

"Waalaikumsalam," replied Abel.

Abel waved at Gala as her car drove out of the yard. After that, he went back inside. It looks like Ida who has been diligent in cleaning the dining table. "Bi, don't forget to eat either. In the kitchen I have also prepared for you," said Abel.

"Good, Buk. Thank you," Ida replied with a smile. Ida feels lucky to work with Abel and Gala, besides being friendly they also pay attention to their employees.

Abel stepped into the baby's room, actually he also did not know what to do at home, so it is better he spent time in the room. Slowly Abel sat on the floor and opened the drawer of baby clothes. It is still neat and complete. Gala bought all the neutral-colored clothes because they did not know Azriel's gender.

Gently Abel took one shirt there and kissed her. Even though it was only his clothes, he could feel his son was here. At least he can treat Azriel's longing if it's like this.

Asik with his own world makes Abel unaware of the arrival of Dara who is now looking at him from behind the door. Just like the last time Dara came here, the difference this time was that the look on Abel's face exuded deep sadness. With attention Dara approached her daughter-in-law and sat down next to her. "Dear."

Abel was a little surprised, then greeted his father-in-law. "Yes, have you been here a long time?" Ask Abel.

"Mama just came. How are you doing?" Dara asked as she stroked her daughter-in-law's arm.

"Abel is fine, Ma," replied Abel slightly thinning his lips.

"What are you doing here?" Ask Dara.

Abel just fell silent, he didn't know what to answer. She wouldn't worry her in-laws if she found out she was still sad right now.

"You know you're still sad, but that's natural. Mama was far from Gala it was very difficult," said Dara while stroking the back of her daughter-in-law's hand.

According to Dara Abella, she is not even crying right now, even though she is sad. Even so, as a mother she knew that Abel needed more support than the people around him.

"Mama know you must be hard to live it, at a young age you are still relatively young, you have lost children. Mama knows it's not easy."

"Yes-yes mama understands, gapapa if you miss. Listen mama. You are young, you and Galaxy still have a lot of opportunities to have children. Even if you want to when you've recovered can too. You know, Azriel's never gonna be replaced by anything, but Azriel's happy she has a sister."

"Mama won't force you, mama just wants you and Gala to move on. You can be happy with your son."

Thinking about the child again? Perhaps for now Abel is not ready, his suffering for Azriel is still there. How could he replace her so quickly. But he also did not close his eyes, perhaps that would be a consideration at a later time.

While drinking tea made by Ida. Abel fell silent on the second floor, sitting on a long sofa facing a large window, while looking at the scenery there.

Lately he has often done so in the clothes of Azriel who never escaped his grasp. Usually here he always invites Azriel to share his complaints, because he really likes to talk like that.

Sometimes Abel smiles if he remembers it and sometimes he falls because of his own expectations. His mood changes erratically especially he still often feels cramps and also small bleeding.

Her memory twisted the incident two days ago.

Abel woke up at 2 p.m. He glanced to the side, yet there was no Gala there. Slowly he went down and looked for the whereabouts of Gala, a bit strange actually when he woke up but did not see Gala beside him.

His steps came to a halt when he saw Gala who was in the nursery. The man was unaware of Abel's presence due to his back. "What did Gala do?" Inner Abel.

Abel saw Gala occasionally wiping away her tears while she kissed the little clothes of their son. He became carried away with feelings. How could Abel not realize that Gala is also that bad? Either Abel is insensitive or Gala is good at hiding it.

Abel silenced his mouth with his hands and sobbed that very second. He leaned his back behind the wall. What hurts more when he sees the person he loves slumped. Abel was too late in his grief, until he forgot that he felt the loss of not only himself, but Gala as well.

The difference is Gala tried hard because she had to keep Abel's feelings. Here Abel feels that he is selfish, he even lately ignored Gala because of the focus with his own mind. Gala needs to be entertained.

Abel wiped away his tears, though he knew that Gala did not want Abel to know his sadness, Abel was still his wife. He had to cool Gala under any circumstances.

Abel sat down beside her husband, slowly stroking Gala's back and giving her some calmness. Gala was a little surprised to see Abel there. But he could not avoid it if it was like this.

Gala gently hugged Abel and buried her face in the girl's neck. Abel could only return Gala's embrace while continuing to stroke her back. Letting his sadness lie there. Because he was also aware, that he was not that strong to be Gala's backing. He was just trying to give her peace.

Since that day Abel tried to get up, at least he did not ignore Gala and did not look sad even though only in front of Gala alone. Suddenly the message sounded. The name of Dinda is there.

Dinda 🐰🌼 :

I won't do anything, I'll be in Indonesia tomorrow. Tomorrow I go to your house.

Abel smiled a little. For a long time they had no news, Dinda did study abroad and certainly different routine with Abel. Did Dinda find out about Abel until he got back here?
