...In the breath rolling in a grain of dew, I scoured a black trace without a shadow. Penetrating the raised breadfruit. There was the sound of crying, grimacing and crying. Wish you were always there, in the pulse and in every stream of blood. Among the souls beheaded by fear and longing....
...*****...
The clock on the wall rotated without pause. An hour, two hours, three hours passed like the blink of an eye. There is only 1 second left to midnight. The woman who awaits the return of her husband is finally closed on the sofa with her legs curled up. His body looked tired, with black circles around his eyes.
"Honey..," Edward stroked the soft cheek of his wife who was asleep. But the angel of his heart was not the least shaken. His eyes closed tightly, not wanting to let go of his beautiful dream.
Edward lifts Rona's body and takes her into the room. A petite body with slightly rounded cheeks, she laid on the bed. Edward sat down on the edge of the bed, picking up the stricken child's hair. His smile expands, fatigue disappears.
"Beauty soon, I want to see Ezio." Edward opened the suit attached to his body and then moved towards his son's room, he closed the door as slowly as possible. Didn't want his wife to wake up to the sound of a door leaf.
Rona, pretending to be asleep, wakes up and grabs the coat hanging in front of the closet and inhales the scent inherent in her husband's clothes. Rona smelled different perfumes, like women's perfumes.
Rona reached into the pocket of the suit, looking for other suspicious things. But unfortunately he did not find anything, just a pink business card.
"Louisa Natalie." Rona read the name written on the business card. He flipped through the thin object and threw it. Rona spread her body rough, her mind so riled up.
The sound of the door handle being pulled, Rona tilted her body pretending to sleep again. Edward walked to the balcony of his room, seeing that he was talking to someone for a long time.
"Are you not going to sleep? Is it gonna be up here all night?" Rona finally moved and approached her husband. Edward's body stiffened, his head spinning here and there.
"You woke up Rona? Ti-sleep again yuk, it's not good for our baby-to-be if Mommy's not rested." Edward embraces Rona's shoulder and invites her into the room. Meanwhile, his other hand hid a flat object into a bag of pants.
"You take a shower, clean your body. Your clothes smell of alcohol and nicotine, I'm sick of it." The hue covers the nose using the palms of the hands, then reverses the body.
Without rejection or rebuttal, Edward went into the bathroom and washed his body filled with sweat mixed with an unusual aroma. She enjoyed the touch of warm water all over her body. His eyes were closed, recalling the heavy days after the beautiful end.
At 2 a.m., Edward was still awake. He seemed to be forcing himself to stare at the barrage of letters on the computer screen. His fingers occasionally rub the eyes that feel sore. The black coffee had gone unnoticed, but he still had every letter and every number on the keyboard.
Rona woke up a second time, her hands creeping in search of the burly body she missed so much. But what his hand reached was just a pillow.
"Why haven't you slept yet, are you a robot that works 24 hours?" ask Rona sarcas.
Edward quickly closed his laptop and turned to his wife. "This is over, baby."
Rona glanced at the closed laptop but the machine was still on. "Is there something you're hiding from me, Edward? Is there anything I can't know?"
Edward is a fool, he's like an interrogated criminal. "Ti-nothing, it's just my business. I'm going to sleep too."
Edward got up from his seat, passing Rona who was standing just like that. He laid his body, followed by his wife. Edward sleeps on Rona's back. While Rona stared blankly at his back then sobbed. Edward closed his eyes ignoring the shrill sound of crying. The sound of the sobbing disappeared, Rona's eyes closed again.
...***...
During the transition from autumn to winter, the air increasingly feels piercing the skin. Young woman who is facing morning sickness alone, her heart is torn. His body is very weak. Rona fused in the bathroom with a shivering body.
"God... Brother Rona!" peekik Leona who saw the condition of her sister-in-law was very alarming. He shouted to Roland to help lift the light body onto the bed.
A pale face with whitened lips, not to mention the black circles that adorned the eyes, making Rona look very pitiful. Leona went to her room to pick up her cell phone, leaving Roland alone with her sister-in-law.
Roland looked pityfully at Rona, he pulled out a blanket to cover her brother-in-law's body. Not knowing the impulse from where, her lips tipped Rona's forehead just like that. Leona who was standing in front of the door of course saw the scene that made her heart slit clearly. But now he realized one thing, why his sister-in-law was so easily loved. It was because of the sincerity in Rona's heart, which she had yet to possess.
"Sister Roland?" call Leona to get her phone. "Can you please tell my sister about Rona's condition?"
Roland who was surprised by the presence of Leona behind his back, he felt bad for his little wife.
"Leona sorry, I was...."
"It's okay, sister," replied Leona. "Leona is quite self-conscious." Leona handed the flat object to Roland's hand, then sat down beside Rona. She rubbed the scented therapeutic wind oil over her stomach and back-in-law to reduce nausea.
Slowly as Rona's consciousness recovers, Leona scoffs at the woman lying lethargic with questions.
"Sir Edward where the hell is Brother? It's also 7 in the morning. But my brother doesn't have his nose in sight." Leona massaged Rona's temples to relieve the head that had previously felt spinning.
Rona shook her head, her gaze staring at the ceiling of the room. "I don't know either, it's been a week your sister's been like this. Last night I smelled his suit, there was a woman's perfume scent attached."
"But as far as I am concerned. Brother Edward is not that kind of man Brother. He's the most loyal and responsible man Leona knows" Leona said with a look toward the man standing in front of the fence.
" Don't know .. It's just that I feel that your brother is hiding something big. I hope he doesn't play with fire behind my back. Because if that happens, I'll slash his assets to nothing!"
Leona gave a wry smile and then imagined the words of her sister-in-law. His shoulders are shaken, his head shakes.

...Well, Edward, don't mess with Rona ya!...
...Thank you for all your support, brother....
...Love you all 😘...
