Come back with wounds

Right at night around 10:00, Alma had arrived in the city center. With a heavy heart, he set foot in the city center of his own birthplace.

Feelings of sadness and disappointment are mixed like a hodgepodge. Remembering her husband Arfha, the cellphone that was given to her by Arfha she held tightly. Waiting for a call from Arfha.

It turns out that Arfha didn't call Alma, Alma's feelings were getting crushed. His mind was in chaos again, he really couldn't hold back his sadness. The tears dripped out of his eyes, drop by drop, running down his soft cheeks.

Alma looked left and right, hoping he could meet someone he knew.

Alma took a deep breath while looking at her distended stomach. It was clear that Alma was tired. His face was sweating hot and cold, he also looked a little pale. Maybe the result of a long journey.

Alma feels really bad, because she feels ashamed herself if she has to go home without her husband Arfha.

His parents also did not know about his return, because since he married Arfha he had never told his parents. He was completely lost as if swallowed by the earth.

Alma saw a chair made of iron right on the side of the road. Looks like the chair was deliberately put there for people to rest while waiting for the vehicle.

Feeling tired from standing for too long, Alma pulled her suitcase and sat on the chair. Alma was silent in thought. What should he say to his father and mother when he gets home? Will his father and mother accept him back?

Alma's mind was in complete chaos. She was ashamed of herself, because she came home heavily pregnant. Alma hasn't even thought about the rest of his family's talk. Not even the neighbors talk.

"I shouldn't go home. I don't want to make mom and dad difficult. I've made them suffer enough. But if I don't go home, where should I go? While my father's family is very sensitive people, so are my mother's family" Alma thought.

Seeing the unfriendly weather, the sky turned dark gray. The sound of thunder was very loud. The stars that used to be there were now beautifully covered by the darkness of the clouds.

Raindrops began to fall one by one, making Alma worry about where to take shelter. He accidentally saw a husband and wife who were walking right in front of him romantically.

Alma smiled bitterly, while he was alone. It is impossible for Arfha to come to bring him an umbrella in this place. While they were far apart.

The rain was falling harder and harder, making Alma's body soaked. "Excuse me Miss, you should use this umbrella. Because the rain is getting heavier!!" Greet someone while protecting Alma from the heavy rain. A clean white man, 180 cm tall. It seemed that the man looked very kind and gentle too.

Alma was surprised, he didn't even think that a good person would help him. Alma smiled faintly "It's okay sir, I'm used to the rain" Alma replied while stroking his body.

"I'm sorry for your baby, miss. Don't get sick, because now the weather is bad. Especially when you are pregnant like this"

Alma smiled again "Thank you!! Really I'm okay"

"May I know where you are going? Let me take you, I also happen to want to go home"

"No sir, because I can go home alone"

"Are you afraid that I'm a bad person. Trust me, my intentions are good. I can't do anything wrong. Just watch the rain get heavier, if you stay outside for too long you're afraid you'll drop"

The man continued to force Alma, because he felt pity. The man didn't mean anything bad, he just wanted to help Alma.

But Alma kept on refusing, because he didn't want to bother anyone. Seeing the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder so big that Alma screamed hysterically, he was very scared.

Alma sat while covering her ears, it turned out that Alma had a phobia of lightning "Aaaaaaaa" Alma's scream made the man beside her surprised.

Spontaneously the man immediately threw the umbrella in his hand. He was willing to get soaked to help Alma.

"Miss are you okay!! You'd better come with me to the car" The man then woke Alma up.

Luckily Alma didn't refuse, he even followed the man. He immediately opened the car door in front, he asked Alma to enter first.

"You wait a moment, I want to take your suitcase first" said the man.

He ran to get Alma's suitcase, the man then put it in the trunk of the car. His clothes were completely soaked, but that didn't matter.

"Tech!!" The sound of the car door opening, he glanced at Alma who was in his car. The man then slowly entered.

"Sorry miss if I surprised you" he said as he opened his jazz. Alma nodded without saying.

Seeing Alma shivering in the cold made the man feel very sorry for Alma. He turned off the Ace of his car, so the cold wasn't too strong.

He immediately started the car and started slowly. Along the way the man looked to the right side. There's a big shop there. He then stopped and parked the car.

"Wait a minute Miss" the man ordered.

Alma nodded with a faint smile. The man entered the shopping center, he bought a thick jacket and also a warm drink. After getting everything he needed, the man returned to the car. He ran again like a child. Luckily the rain had stopped. Just a little drizzle.

The man smiled maniacally at Alma "You should wear this jacket to relieve the cold" The man said, he was attentive "Drink this, this drink happens to be very good for pregnant women" He continued while giving a bottle of warm drink.

Alma hesitantly stretched out his hand, the man smiled again while looking at Alma. Judging from his gaze, the man was very sincere. He nodded his head to ask Alma to take it.

"Take it!! Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something strange?" asked the man.

"Thank you!!" Alma said while taking a bottle of the warm drink. He also didn't forget to use a jacket bought by a foreign man he didn't know at all.

"Looks like the rain has stopped!!" Said the man.

Alma looked at the ceiling from inside the car, he also noticed in front of the road that there were no raindrops "Oh yes, it seems so" Alma continued.

"How are you feeling better?"

"It's getting better!! Once again thank you very much for your help sir.

"You're welcome!!" Said the man with a sweet smile.

Suddenly the sound of his cellphone, he picked it up and saw an incoming call, it seemed to be from his girlfriend.
