The Story of Cilla: Love in Marriage
Finally

Hardi, along with several of his bodyguards and several police officers, were lurking not far from the spot where Reza and 2 others were sitting. Hardi made sure that the person in front of him was his son-in-law.

" Okay, we're approaching them." Hardi said after believing the person before him was Reza.

Some policemen walked slowly, getting ready by holding their gun.

" Hand up." Shouted the police commander.

Those who were in the place were shocked, especially the three people who were targeted by the police who looked very surprised while raising their hands.

Then Hardi walked over and showed himself to the three people.

" Dad!" Reza muttered while widening his eyes.

" Riza! Thankfully I finally found you. Come here." Come here." Hardi asks Reza to come to him. With a little fear he approached his father-in-law.

" You two, come with us. And explain everything at the police station." Said the commander and ordered two policemen to handcuff the two.

" I'll bring my daughter-in-law home first, for her report and interrogation I'll ask for tomorrow only. Can it?" Ask Hardi.

" All right, come to the police station tomorrow."

The two men who were with Reza were immediately escorted to the police station while Reza immediately brought Hardi to their Mension.

During the trip, Hardi did not say much despite the many questions he wanted to ask his son-in-law. But seeing Reza's state of being depressed with a different look from the old time so Hardi held him back. Hardi believes something is happening that makes Reza like a depressed person with a different appearance than usual.

Arriving at Mension, Hardi and Reza walked in with some of his bodyguards. When the door opened, Reza saw Cilla sitting on the sofa waiting for her arrival. Reza stopped his steps, his eyes staring deep at his wife. Suddenly his lips trembled, his eyes flushed and began to tear, before long his tears ran down his cheeks.

Cilla, who realized that someone had come, turned her head and just kept silent with an expression of disbelief, her eyes turned red and began to shed tears.

She stood up and half ran over to her husband who was standing with a face full of tears. Cilla immediately hugged her husband, her tears broke, her cries breaking the silence. Reza hugged his wife tightly as well as Cilla who was very tightly hugging her long-awaited husband.

Their parents were swept away, they could not hold back their tears either. No one said a word, only the sound of sobs filling the room.

Cilla said her first word to her husband, who was almost 3 months apart from her.

" Reza, are you okay? You're healthy, right? You look skinny, what's been going on all this time? You are like depressed !! Ye... You... It's fine !....." Cilla examined Reza's entire body with great worry.

Not answering all of Cilla's questions, Reza pulled his wife back and hugged her tightly and her tears continued to flow unbearably.

Mother Sarah approached them, "Now you rest, Reza must be tired. Don't think about what happened first, calm yourself first. Later after everything calms down, we can discuss it." Mother Sarah, also looks sad and hilarious at the meeting of Cilla and Reza.

Reza hugged Mother Sarah and thanked her. Reza hugged Adrian who was also there because Hardi had previously contacted the Reza family.

" Welcome, bro, thank you for holding on. That's right said Miss Sarah, you rest first." Adrian hugged his sister tightly with a taste of haru.

" Thank you bang, I miss loe, bang." Reza was crying in her brother's arms.

Reza then turned to his mother who had been waiting for him with tears.

" Mama.." -....." Reza immediately hugged her mother very tightly. Her mother hugged Reza tightly with tears, rubbing her son's head without saying a word. Only the sound of sobbing continued to be heard.

" Mom... Reza's... Re.. Reza's.. Very kangen."

" Dear, are you okay, son?" Her mother let go of her embrace and held her son's face and wiped away Reza's tears that kept flowing incessantly on her cheeks.

" Yes... I'm fine, mah. Look, now I can get together here again right." Reza's smile calmed her mother, but she couldn't cover her tears.

Indeed everyone was crying but it was not a cry of sadness but a cry of happiness beyond measure.

Reza and Cilla enter the room, Reza pub cleans her body and changes clothes. He saw Cilla sitting by the bed.

" Dear, like you're not so good. Look at your body now, look thinner." Cilla said after Reza sat next to her.

" Why are you even worried about me?, I should be more worried about you, see now you are losing more weight. Aren't you eating as long as I'm not around?"

" How can I eat if you just disappear? I can't sleep and think only of you. I felt so lost to you, I was frustrated and depressed for fear of you disappearing forever, I... " Tears running down Cilla's cheeks, Reza who saw her immediately hugged her.

" I'm sorry, I promise, from today on and forever, I'll always be by your side." Reza calms his wife.

" Why do you have to apologize ? You are not wrong, you are a victim. So don't apologize." Said Cilla while sobbing.

" yes.. Da... Dong, you don't cry. Look, you're being ugly." Reza tried to melt the atmosphere.

" Ih. . You are, I am very worried and confused with you."

" Yes I'm also kangen, so it's been well, don't cry on." They started smiling without letting go of their arms.

The sound of the door being knocked on, they allowed people outside to enter. Someone came in carrying the food he pushed using a special food trolley.

Some menus are ready for them to eat in the afternoon.

" Please enjoy the food."

" Yes, thank you."

The food delivery came out after finishing the food on the table.

" Dear, eat now. To make you look healthy again. I see, you're so weak, I don't want you to get sick."

" I'm not hungry, Za. I just want to hug you. You eat, let your body be what it used to be."

" You must eat, otherwise I will eat. The hug can be later. Now we have to fill the stomach first."

" It's starting to come out."

" It's okay, it's just you."

" Yes, now open your mouth." Reza feeds his wife, and Cilla finally wants to eat. It's her first meal of the day, because as long as Reza's gone, Cilla rarely eats anything, even the food that he had eaten was as if it could not be digested properly until he was nauseous and began to vomit it.

But different for today, although Reza only came a few hours ago but Cilla was able to show back his smile and began to be able to swallow his food well.

Cilla also feeds her husband and she looks happy because her husband has been with her back. Her happiness at this time can not be measured by anything, a smile never separated from the lips of both.

Then Cilla accidentally hit her husband's chest softly that can not stand the joke that began to be thrown by her husband.

" Ouch... " Reza grimaced in pain by his wife's slow punch.

" Why are you? You sick?" Cilla looked very worried.

" No, I'm fine." Reza tried to smile but still endured the pain.

Cilla, who saw something wrong with her husband, forced her husband to take off his nightshirt. With a little forced, Cilla finally managed to unbutton her front and how surprised Cilla was after seeing what happened to her husband's body.

Cilla immediately called her father to come into her room, it didn't take long. Hardi's father and Mother Sarah came and entered their daughter's room anxiously.

" why? What's up?" Ask Hardi's Dad.

" Dad, look at yourself."

Reza undressed and saw a lot of bruises all over his body and there were even some small incisions in the abdomen and back of Reza, there were burns due to cigarette smoke.

Seeing that, without thinking, Hardi told them to change their clothes to immediately go to the hospital for further examination on Reza, even though the day looked dark.

In the Car

" You should have said Za, you're hurt like this still quiet, I'm afraid something's going on with you." Cilla was angry with her husband not because of his emotions but his immense worry.

" Right Za, why didn't you say that you were also a victim of violence?" Said Hardi's Dad.

" I will take care of everything, so that the suspect can be punished with the right punishment." Add Hardi's Dad.

" Right, I didn't expect it either. Tiffany would do something like this."

" You'll have to tell me everything at the police station, but not for now. Dad asked the police for a few days before you were interrogated as a witness."

" Thank you, Dad. I'm very grateful."

" Why are you so stiff ! I will do anything for the happiness of my daughter, including those of you whom I consider my own son, not just my son-in-law."

" Thank you again, Dad."

A month passed

Now they have returned to Indonesia, after completing a fairly quick trial because the evidence and witnesses are so strong that the decision of the trial was quickly triggered. Tiffany and his partner were given the same sentence, Tiffany was sentenced to about 20 prisons and his partner was about 10 years in prison. Although not in accordance with the wishes of the Reza family, but it can make them deterred.

Reza and Cilla's condition has begun to improve, Reza who has recovered from his wounds well although some of his scars are still visible. While Cilla began to be healthy again, eating was regular as before. Although it is still controlled by nutritionists because the weight of the body has not increased according to health standards.

Reza and Cilla are now in her room, at Cilla's parents' house.

" I can finally go home, and it's coming home with you." Cilla sighed and smiled as her heart was relieved.

" Yes, I thought my life would be over when I had that terrible event, but I'm happy because it's all gone." Reza hugged Cilla from behind.

" Are you really feeling better?" Cilla turned her body, looking at her husband's face.

" Of course, let alone having you by my side, I'm getting better quickly." Reza kissed Cilla on the forehead and hugged her.

Cilla returned her embrace, then they looked at each other, before long their lips met. In the warm night air, they kiss quite affectionately until the warmth increases they feel.

The door to their room was knocked, until their kiss stopped.

" Cilla, Reza, let's have dinner first." Mother Sarah's voice was heard calling.

" Good Mother." Reply Cilla.

" Are you really hoping?" Reza.

" Oh yes, we haven't eaten yet."

" really? Is it not awkward? Though..." Reza's words came to a halt when her stomach voice sounded quite loud.

" Yes, your stomach is rumbling. Still just glittered."

" Hehehe "Reza scratched his non-itchy head.

They eventually joined the dinner table with their family. Seen a close relationship with each other, the atmosphere at the dining table looks full of family. Seen an aura of happiness envelops this family, familiarity, laughter sounds clearly make the atmosphere feel very comfortable. Maybe this is not the end of their trials, there must be many obstacles while still living life in the world. But do not forget, every difficulty must have ease and vice versa, must be faced together to feel easier to live it.
