Anna and Her Memories (1)

In the middle of a quiet night in a dark room, a man sat with his eyes closed. His mind drifted away from the events of the past few hours.

The woman looked at him with hatred, hatred. The devastation was clearly described, anyone who saw it didn't need to ask about his feelings, surely they could conclude.

Puffy eyes with large eye bags imply hopelessness that can't be helped.

He thinks, how can someone cry over someone else's loss so heavily and how can someone give his heart to someone else for the sake of the person he loves, what kind of feeling is growing between them?

Sebastian is a figure who has everything in life, for him getting whatever he wants is as easy as the wink of an eye.

But, to get 'Love & Happiness' was something impossible, and he didn't want to get it either.

Enough for him to go through the day, following the revolving time without the need to involve unnecessary feelings.

Sebastian opened his eyes, blue eyes, as blue as the ocean seemed a little sparkling, he glanced at the clock on the table, it was now 5:30 in the morning.

He gently massaged the bridge of his nose then got up and stretched his body to relax the tight muscles from sitting too long.

Sebastian had never felt this tired, neither body nor mind. Even when his heart wasn't working well, he never got tired.

Right now all he needed was some fresh air.

He rushed to take the car keys lying on the nightstand and then went through the streets that still looked quiet.

This morning Anna looks busy packing her things. Today she will leave a room full of memories since her marriage to Fateh.

Now, there was no longer any reason to stay any longer after what was decided last night.

Finished fixing all her belongings she immediately left the room with a million feelings stored.

"Ready?" asked Alya when she saw Anna coming out of her room, she went over to Anna, and took over the bag that her sister was carrying.

"Come on, have breakfast first." Maira offered with a warm smile as she approached the two. He let Anna go. But, there's nothing that can be done.

Without answering Anna followed her mother-in-law and sister to the dining table, the rest of the family were already seated, ready to have breakfast.

They spent ten minutes preparing breakfast, and after that, they escorted Anna away who was going back to her parent's house.

It is hard for them to let go of their loved family members, but they must believe that this heavy step will bring lightness in the future.

"Then we say goodbye, thank you for the breakfast," said Alya, which Maira nodded with a sincere smile. Likewise with the others.

Alya is still a little awkward, Anna's mother-in-law was not as friendly as she is now, but she is grateful for the change.

Not wanting to think further, Alya immediately said goodbye to the others as well as Anna.

Before getting into the car, Anna turned her head, taking one last look at the house. Record all the happiness that has filled her days with the people she loves the most.

Alya immediately drove the car as soon as Anna was seated properly. She knew how hard his sister was trying not to cry. Her heart was very sad to see his sister's condition.

"The child is suffering a lot, I hope one day she can release the shackles in her heart," said Maira who was in her husband's arms while looking at Anna's car which was getting further away.

"Of course, Ma ..., we just accept her anger and hatred at this time, time will change her perspective," replied Zakaria calming his wife.

He put his arm around his wife and took her into the house.

"I can't live it, let alone Anna," said Fania who was already crying.

"We will live it together," Fitra replied as his big hand carried Fania into his arms, fondly stroking Fania's back.

"Drop me off at the cemetery, " Anna said flatly without looking at Alya.

"Oh ok," said Alya quickly, smiling at Anna.

Anna got out of the car and walked towards the entrance of the cemetery while picking up the flowers that were always available for her.

But as soon as he arrived at the grave, she saw a large number of fresh flowers had been sprinkled on the tombstone.

'Who strikes earlier than me?' She thought.

"Someone came earlier than me, did your new friend come to visit?" she asked the gravestone while sowing the flowers she brought.

Anna closed her eyes for a moment then said her prayers and hopes for her husband's.

"All this is not easy for me, sorry if because of this there you are in trouble. But, today I decided to live what you have mandated, just because of you I will live and try to be sincere, and be at peace," she said, which was answered by silence.

Anna said a prayer while staring sadly at the tombstone as if what she was staring at was Fateh.

After praying, dhe cleaned the grave of the deceased, even though it was very clean. But, that's Anna, anything concerning the deceased is her duty.

"Don't wait, Anna can go home alone," she said when she got out of the car as soon as she arrived in front of her house.

"How about you come with me?" Alya bargained. Anna shook her head in response. She turned away ignoring Alya's screams.

"Call me when you're done!" Alya shouted once again at Anna by sticking her head out of the car door window. Hoping her sister would turn around and nod but she didn't.

After that Alya drove back to her car and decided to wait for Anna at the nearest cafe.

Once inside the fence, the first thing Anna saw was a small rose garden.

Fateh planted them because he knew that Anna liked roses, in the past, these flowers were always fresh and growing, unlike now, they withered and died.

A few moments later, Anna decided to enter the house which must have been very dusty. It's been three months since he's been living there.

Fateh likes to clean the house and arrange it so that it looks beautiful to the eye.

It is evident from the two decorative cabinets on the right and left which are filled with frames of various sizes displaying photos of the two of them at every moment they pass, even the funny photos that are captured and also the miniatures they buy when they are visiting a place do not go unnoticed. Anna now.

Anna opened the cupboard and took one of her favorite photos, the photo shows her face full of markers from losing when playing snake and ladders, and Fateh's funny expression when wearing a tweety costume.

Her mind went back to that time...

"Fateh! My face is full of scribbles, how is it?" Anna frantically rubbed her face, hoping the black marker would go away.

"Accept it, who told you to lose, dear," said Fateh casually as he walked towards the kitchen to get a drink.

With an annoyed face, Anna turned towards Fateh, but the annoying face turned happy when she saw Fateh who looked like a tweety.

"Ha ha ha ha ha … Fateh! You look so cute," said Anna in between bursting laughter.

"For you," replied Fateh imitating a tweety voice with a bit of annoyance. Tweety is Anna's favorite cartoon character.

"You're so cute, whose husband is this ha ha ha ha ..." teased Anna who also imitated a tweety voice while hugging her husband.

"Annaya Nur Kamila Al-Ghifary's husband, for sure," replied Fateh who returned the hug very tightly. For God's sake, he really loves this woman in his arms.

"Oh, of course honey," Anna replied happily.

Fateh takes a polaroid camera and captures their moment without Anna's knowledge with the tv room in the background. He made a funny expression while Anna with a shocked face.

"You cheat!" Anna shouted with an annoyed face but looked cute with the tiny lips that she put forward.

Fateh laughed happily at the results of the photo, and he decided to post this photo, so that everyone who came to their house could see how happy they were spending their day as a husband and wife.

'Cup'

Fateh quickly stole a kiss on the corner of Anna's lips. He didn't care that Anna was upset because, to her, Anna's annoyed face was the most beautiful sight in the world.

Fateh ran up the stairs to the study to save the photo so Anna wouldn't tear it.

"FATEH!" Anna shouted even more annoyed.

"I LOVE YOU TOO MY ANNA!" Fateh's voice was no less loud, echoing from upstairs, the words didn't match the words Anna said, and it made Anna even more annoyed but her heart was very happy.
