The Former
EXTRA PART 3

Two months later.

Nindy went into the room with a sneak peek hoping that Rafael would not wake up, he came while carrying a box of cookies in his hand to give to her husband. Actually last night Nindy wanted to give a surprise to Rafael but because her husband came home too late at night so he had to postpone it and would give the surprise in the morning when the husband was still asleep.

Nindy placed the cake box on the table on the left side of the bed, then took out the contents which was a small cup cake that was very cute and beautiful. After that Nindy put a candle that forms the number eight on it which is a symbol of the age of her marriage. Yes, today is the eighth anniversary of Nindy and Rafael's marriage. Nindy was so moved to see the number eight standing upright on the small cup cake, he never thought if the age of marriage has entered the figure of eight years and hope that the marriage can continue to last until they are old.

After preparing cakes and candles, Nindy now turned to her husband who was still asleep under a thick and warm blanket. Nindy approached the bed and looked at the handsome face of the man who had captured her whole heart and mind, the man who had written many stories in the course of her life.

"You managed to drive me crazy about you so much that I couldn't get rid of your intoxicating charm" Nindy said as she rubbed her husband's face.

"I don't think I'd be able to lose you maybe I wouldn't even be able to live without you by my side".

"I love you, my husband" he said, kissing her forehead and cheeks.

"Uh," Rafael moaned as his sleep began to be disturbed.

Seeing Rafael who only moaned but did not wake up makes Nindy start to prank, she began to prank her husband to wake up immediately. Nindy stroked Rafael's face and neck repeatedly and blew her breath in the ear, but it made Rafael flinch until rubbing his ear several times. Nindy grinned amusedly at her husband's behavior and he repeated it again several times until finally the husband opened his eyes.

"Morning!" Nindy's whisper in her husband's ear.

"Uh,,,,! Honey!" Raphael blinked his eyes several times.

"Good morning, baby" Nindy said as she looked at her husband's eyes.

Rafael smiled when he saw Nindy's face that looked beautiful even without make up.

"Morning" Sahut while raising both hands to reach the wife's body but Nindy actually dodged.

"Come, baby, don't avoid. I want to hug you" Pinta Rafael joined the team.

"Hahaha" Nindy laughed.

"Wake up I have a surprise for you" Nindy told her husband.

Rafael shook his head.

"No. I don't want to wake up. I don't want any surprises. I just want you" Her Registry is like a child.

"Are you sure you don't want any surprises?" Nindy Fishing.

Rafael kept shaking his head.

"I just want you" he said spoiled as he spread his arms asking his wife to hold him.

"Come here, I miss you so much" he said.

Finally, Nindy had to admit that she really loved her husband, even though only with a small method that Rafael did was able to melt his heart. Not wanting to make the husband disappointed, Nindy brought her body closer and immediately gave a warm hug to the handsome prince. Not only a hug, Nindy also gave a kiss on the forehead and the entire face of the husband to make her husband chuckle happy.

"Happy?" Nindy asked after ending her embrace.

Rafael shook his head again.

"Yet. Still want to be hugged. Can I ask again?" Her speech.

Now it was Nindy's turn to shake her head.

"No way" he said.

Rafael immediately bent his face disappointed by Nindy's rejection, but he still wanted to hug and spoiled with his wife.

"Wakeup. I have something for you" Nindy said as she got out of bed and picked up the cake she had prepared to give to her husband.

Meanwhile Rafael noticed what his wife was doing and he was a little confused when he saw a cake on the table. Raphael saw Nindy light a candle in the shape of a figure eight on the cake and took the cake and brought it to him.

"Happy anniversary, baby" Nindy said as she handed her husband the small cup cake.

"Well!" Rafael was unable to hide his surprise when he heard Nindy's words.

"Happy anniversary?" Repeated Rafael.

"Yes, happy anniversary. Today is our eighth wedding anniversary" Nindy said.

"Happy anniversary!"

The eighth wedding anniversary! Is it true that their marriage age has entered eight years? So fast did time pass that he never realized it. Though it feels like just yesterday he and Nindy looked at the sweetness of the wedding mahligai but now suddenly he must accept the reality if it turns out to be eight years of marriage, the age of which is almost close to a decade.

Instantly the memory recording in Rafael's brain rotates automatically and spins a flashback from his wedding trip. Rafael recalled the worst time of his life when he became the most stupid man who so steadfastly wasted the woman who loved him the most at that time. Rafael tried hard to stem his tears from falling but it turned out he failed because finally his tears were spilled also from his eyes.

"Sa dear" Rafael's voice began to sound hoarse and tremble.

"I'm sorry" He said.

Nindy was surprised to see her husband's unexpected reaction. Nindy could not believe that her husband would cry to receive a surprise from her. Is it so much for her husband to get a surprise from her? Nindy does not know if Rafael is currently regretting all his actions in the past.

"I'm sorry dear" Rafael repeated.

Realizing that her husband's reaction seemed a little strange, Nindy put the cake back on the table and approached her husband again.

"Darling! You why?" Nindy rubbed the wet face of her husband.

"I'm sorry baby" Rafael said.

"Sorry for what? You did nothing wrong" said Nindy who was still confused by her husband's attitude.

With a sobbing cry, Rafael grabbed Nindy's hand and then kissed her several times after putting it on both cheeks.

"Darling, I've done you a lot of wrong. I have wasted you for a very long time" he said.

"I can't believe that our marriage is eight years old, but we have only had a few months to achieve our true happiness. I was so stupid for wasting our time for so many years. So much time is wasted because of my stupidity. I'm sorry, baby! I'm sorry".

Raphael bowed while dipping his wife's hands in turn and refused to let go. His heart was so wounded when he remembered all that and only by kissing both hands of the wife who was able to make the wound in his heart slightly improve.

Tests.

Without tears Nindy fell slowly when she finally realized what her husband really felt at this time. Lying if he is not sad when remembering his past, lying if he was not injured at that time and lying if he says that he has forgotten everything. But once again Nindy realized if all that was part of his destiny line, maybe he did have to cry under the rain first so that he could see the beautiful rainbow at the end of the rain.

Nindy pulled both hands violently to the point of making Rafael surprised, Rafael raised his face and looked into the blackened eyes of his wife. His wife was angry, he thought.

The two stared at each other for a moment until Nindy finally smiled while opening her arms wide.

"Didn't you want to hug me?" Spoiled talk.

Rafael is silent.

"Today is our eighth anniversary and for the first time we celebrate together. Don't you want to congratulate me? Do you not feel happy because after a long time we finally managed to get through the storm in our household and can celebrate our anniversary together?" Said Nindy while showing her row of white teeth.

Nindy purposely said that to melt the atmosphere.

"Well!" When Rafael's laughter broke, he could not believe that his wife could still laugh in the midst of the chaos.

Without a mint, he would happily hug his wife. Raphael quickly grabbed Nindy's body and carried her into his arms, clutching her tightly as if afraid if the embrace was released so that Nindy could feel Rafael's embrace tighter than before.

"Happy anniversary, baby. Happy wedding anniversary to us" he said meaningfully.

"Happy anniversary too, baby" Sahut Nindy full of days.

Rafael clutches his wife's body tightly while giving a friendly kiss all over his face, he wants to pour all his happiness for his beloved wife. The two hugged each other for a long time.
