You're My Antidote
Returnees

Does the King feel better after waking up from his long dream?

Might as well. He felt that there was a relief of his own after fighting his fear. After trying to reconcile and discuss what has happened. Let go of God's destiny which he could not possibly change as Rani said.

The king felt the burden in his heart slightly lift. No longer as heavy as before. It was no longer as painful as before when he remembered his parents.

Wiping out the tears that he had never done when his parents died, it had shed his pain and guilt all along.

She who had thought her mother's career was ruined because of her mistakes present in her regime.

He who feels guilty for papi must go far and apart from his family even his first love just because of his unexpected presence.

He who always felt guilty in every quarrel between his parents that the King knew was all rooted in his despicable presence.

Since childhood the King has always blamed himself and considered himself a carrier of bad luck.

Brought bad luck to her mom and dad in every way. Both work, love life, even bring bad luck to the death so tragic that must be taken both parents just because of his presence.

But the guilt was now gradually beginning to decay as his cries were impaled that afternoon. Her pain is now beginning to recover as her heart willingly accepts the departure of her parents.

Right said Rani. He just has to be brave. Dare to face and face.

Although confronting and summarizing is not as easy as he said, but at least when he tried, he could do it. Many people are pushing him to heal. Many will support him when he is no longer strong and falls back. Many people encouraged him and said that everything would be fine. And the person who played the most important role in it all was his wife. Rani's.

The woman who strengthened him. Aborting his rawness. Hugged him at his weakest moment. Crying in the worst of circumstances. And take care of him in a state that is not okay, physical or mental.

Somehow the King reciprocated the struggle of his wife who was so persistent to accompany him to recover. Who loves him unconditionally. The one who accepts men in sin seems to never be condescending. Accepting the one who is full of wounds.

The king can only try to keep his attitude and treat Rani well. Make every effort to make her happy who deserves to be happy.

"Mas! dinner with mom!" Rani - who had previously gone downstairs to check on their housekeeper - did not forget to cook dinner before going home - opened the room door and spoke in a panic.

"So afternoon Adit had contacted the mas to confirm the dinner plan there again. But I ask you to step down because you are still sick." explained the King who knew the panic of his wife must be related to their dinner plan which should have dinner at the Adit residence according to an invitation from Adit's mother.

Rani approached while stroking her chest with a sigh of relief. "Thankfully. Rani was freaking out, afraid they were waiting for her."

"Calm down, honey. We can have dinner another time with them."

Rani nodded and sat down on the sofa she was sitting on. "Yes, mas. I miss the real image too."

"Mas has requested a rescheduled. Later Adit will tell you when we can go home." The king stroked his wife's head gently. "In exchange, tomorrow we go to the parlour before mom."

The eyeballs were bright. It was like millions of stars were shining. Makes the King more fascinated by the noisy girl his beloved.

"Gener, mas?"

The king nodded and placed down the tablet he used to check some of the work the secretary had sent him this afternoon.

The king remembered, mama always brought gifts for the orphanage children every visit. So the king will not abandon the custom of his mother. He will also always bring something to please the children of the orphanage.

Rani nodded enthusiastically. "Rani has also not bought chadian for sisters for a long time."

"Later to buy a lot." support the King as he went down to dinner.

Indeed, their busyness makes Rani rarely visit the orphanage. Only occasionally without being able to accompany the King.

But the King knows, even though Rani says it has been a long time to not give gifts. Rani's payday as her secretary is mostly sent to the home every month. So his wife never really left the home even though she no longer lives there.

"But... Is it all right?"

The king no longer had a fever. For that this afternoon Vindra - his distant cousin who actually works as a specialist - took off the infusion in his hand. Because he was physically fine.

But if Rani asks about his mentality, the King can't answer. Because he himself did not know the answer. Although he felt his feelings were much better and lighter.

The king could also feel his soul coming back to life. But for this one, maybe the King has felt since the day he said kabul ijab on the day of his wedding with Rani. The king felt his heart warm from then on.

Also, when he was unconscious for a dozen hours, when the nightmare returned, the King was no longer as afraid as before. He didn't feel so tormented. No more bad breath or cold sweat that he always gets when he wakes up from a dream. The king felt his sleep that time was his quietest sleep after a dozen years. Wake up in fresh condition.

Maybe because he only slept for a few hours every night, so he could not be conscious for so long and make Rani worried.

But for more details, doesn't he still need to see a doctor? To know if he's completely healed. To make sure if the condition no longer need to worry.

"If you're worried you'll pass out again.. I can guarantee it won't happen."

"Are you sure?" rani's facial expression still looked doubtful. "If you don't feel well yet, we're at home resting. Go to the home next time. Or we go to the house of mom papa just ushered the driver."

The king who was standing, locked his wife in his arms. "It's very chatty" he said angrily. "We can stop by the psychologist first tomorrow, before going to my mom's house. Let's be sure about the mas's condition."

Rani is seen thinking and looking at him with her head tilted to the left. After a while, Rani nodded with a wide-eyed smile. "Welcome King Adhitama Shandika. Welcome to my husband."

The King's heart stopped beating. More than anyone else, the King knew the meaning of what came out of his wife's mouth just now.

The king knew, what Rani had congratulated him was deeper than he had heard. Rani welcomes her returning soul. The figure of the King who has been asleep - or rather forced to sleep - for dozens or even decades throughout his life, since he began to understand the meaning of the quarrel of his parents.

Rani is the only one who realizes that her soul has returned and congratulates her. Although his wife's consciousness was quite late. Or because it is more visible now?
