Love, Revenge, And The Sea
253

Angga stood on the shoreline, braving the wind that night, the heat slightly bone-piercing, making him embrace himself.

Bella walked slowly, letting her feet eat the sand that still felt warm, slowly approaching her husband who seemed to think, with a warm smile she grabbed her husband's shoulder, hugging her for a moment before Angga was quite startled and turned her body towards Bella.

"Not slept?" tanya Angga looked at his wife's face that looked sparkling, exposed to the reflection of moonlight from the sea water.

"How can I sleep if my husband isn't there by my side yet" Bella said.

"Based on a small teaser," said Angga smilingly listening to his wife's teasing, he pinched Bella's nose as if fatigued. Bella just replied with a smile.

"The others have fallen asleep, it seems like everything is quite exhausted, Suri has also gone to sleep, I see she is familiar with Archie," Bella explained.

"Yes, I also saw her, it seems like she really needs a friend," Angga said as she wrapped her hand around Bella's shoulder, Bella glanced at Angga as she entered his arms.

"Hows it? have you decided?"

"No, I still want to talk to you."

"Female, I've thought about it, I won't force us to stay there, I realize now, want to be anywhere, it'll be home as long as you and Suri are with me, I had no problem going back there and living in the palace" Bells said looking at her husband inside.

Angga noticed Bella, then reviewed the thin smile that made her face more sweet, Angga twisted her body to face Bella.

"You sure? you said you would never return to the palace again" Angga said softly.

"Yes, but now that everyone needs you, Suri's big enough, she's going to school soon, her education will be better there" Bella said.

"Yes, I thought of that too."

"So how?"

"Well, we go home," said Angga again pulling Bella in his arms, "I've been thinking of giving all of this to Eza, let him continue, how to take you?"

"Yes, that's a good idea, about Nadia I've talked to her, and she says she wants to go wherever we go, can she come? here he's just an orphan" said Bella to seduce Angga.

"Of course, we can take her," said Angga, holding Bella tightly as if he did not let the wind infiltrate between them, spreading the warmth between the two of them, they really haven't felt this way in a long time.

"Ma! Pa!" a small voice broke the silence of the two of them, Angga and Bella immediately looked at the direction of the sound, Suri who was wearing her nightgown and was rubbing her eyes, probably woke up not to find his two parents next to him.

Angga scratched the back of his head, it felt really hard just to spend time with Bella, Bella who saw Angga's face, just smiling.

"Yes, Mama and Papa are going to be there any minute" Bella said. Suri did not flinch, standing on the porch looking at his two parents walking towards him.

Angga immediately held Suri who was still sleepy. Sure enough Suri was directly leaning on her father's shoulder.

"Suri still wants to be a princess?" asked Angga quietly while stroking his daughter's back.

"Hu-um," Suri replied as she nodded slowly.

"Well, tomorrow we'll go home, Suri will stay in istna, is Suri happy?" asked Angga again, Angga's hand clasped Bella's hand, looking deeply into the eyes of his wife who only smiled.

"really? Papa didn't lie, did he?" suri said she couldn't believe it.

"True, because that's why this mama's child must sleep, it's too late, if not sleep now, maybe tomorrow we will miss the plane," said Bella took Suri in Angga's sling.

"Tomorrow we'll get on a plane?" pekik Suri pleased.

---***---

Bella sits Suri next to Archie, and Bella also pairs Suri's seat belt, which appears nervous.

"It's okay, wasn't Suri really excited to go on a plane?" said Bella who looked at the face of her son who was terrified.

Suri only looked at her mother, she occasionally looked towards her window, completely tense with her first experience.

"I will take care of her aunt, Suri need not be afraid," Archie said seriously, as if he would really take care of Suri.

"Of course, thank you Archie, Suri, look there's Brother Archie next to you, Mama and Papa are also in front, so don't be afraid, yeah," Bella said again.

Suri looked at Bella, then looked towards Archie, Archie nodded at Suri, as if reassuring Suri, Suri so seemed a little calm.

"Yes, mama," Suri said.

"Good boy," said Bella as she stroked Suri and Archie's head, then she stood up, Angga was waiting for her to sit in the front, the others were already preparing for her seat.

"Where is he?" angga said when Bella was already sitting next to him.

"He'll be fine, don't worry, he should be able to cope with his feelings, let him be independent, don't worry too much and spoil him, after all, Archie has calmed him down, he told me, ' he said, he will take care of Suri, he even looks at me seriously," said Bella smiling at Angga who looked anxious with Suri's true state right behind them.

"really? the kid said that?" angga said in disbelief, he glanced back, looking at Archie and Suri who seemed to be chatting.

"He had the charisma of a prince" Bella said without a second thought.

"Whatchu mean? you want to say that he has charisma like his father?" angga's words seem to dislike Bella's words.

"No, yes, look, who doesn't like Archie, his face is handsome, his person is polite, I don't think it's descended from his father, maybe it's from his mother" Bella told Angga, want to know what Angga's response and answer if alluded to about Archie's mother.

"Oh, that's for sure not to let him tease my son," said Angga who did not want to mispronounce, so he just switched the conversation.

Bella who saw the nervousness of Angga, immediately felt her husband was very funny.

"Haha, your son is only 6 years old, there is no need to be so afraid," said Bella glanced at Angga, Angga did not respond, afraid of mispronouncing again.

Their nurses immediately slashed, when they heard the rumbling of the machine, Suri grew tense, he even almost cried, this was a pretty scary safety for him, what else was his papa not with him.

Suri clasped tightly onto her two armrests, closed her eyes, it felt really like she was depressed by something, making Suri panic.

But her panic instantly diminished as a warmth enveloped her tightly clutching hands, Suri instantly opened her eyes, seeing who was clasping her hands.

Archie's hand clasped Suri's hand, he also smiled at Suri.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, soon it won't be like this, calm down huh," Archie said with a sweet smile that calmed anyone down.

Suri who saw that immediately fell silent, his attention was distracted, his world seemed to be filled with Archie's reassuring smile, making him completely calm.

"Yes, brother," Suri said.

"Don't worry, Suri, I promise you every time you're scared, I'll take care of you," Archie said with a smile, tightening his grip on the tiny hand of a suri.

A promise said that day that Suri will never forget in her lifetime.
