A World Without Seams

38

Rachel moved in her sleep and called out one name.

"Jim..." Rachel called him slowly. His head that initially felt very heavy slowly felt light and as if his body felt as light as cotton. All the pain slowly disappeared. It was as if he was reborn.

Rachel opened her eyes and slightly squinted her eyes as the sunlight pierced right into her eyes. Rachel covered her face with one hand avoiding the light instead of waking up from her sleep.

"Did the light bother you?" ask someone she knows. Rachel put away her hand and turned to her bedside. Jim stood in front of the door leaning back and smiling.

"Jim!" Rachel ran over and hugged the man who opened both hands and caught the tiny body before her.

"Hey...! Why?" jim asked when he heard Rachel's sobs.

"You're evil!"

"What?" ask Jim.

"eeeh? Aren't you sick?" rachel asked to take off her embrace.

"Look at me, do I look sick?" ask Jim. Rachel nodded and hugged Jim.

"Is this really you? You all right?" rachel asked cupping Jim's cheeks. The smiling man grabbed Rachel's hands and kissed her for a moment. Makes Rachel's cheeks blush.

"You're worried about me?" ask Jim.

"of course! last time I saw you was in a coma and..."

"Calm down, I'm here and I'm fine. Come on breakfast," he asked.

"But..."

"Why again?"

"Aren't I in the hospital?" rachel asked confused.

"Yes, that was a month ago,"

"A month ago?"

"Yes, did you forget? Looks like you forgot, yes let's have breakfast first," Jim took with him while pulling Rachel's hand and forced to hold her.

"I make a little food but there's a little bit of a charade, I hope you don't mind it,"

"Not dong,"

They arrived at the dining room and saw various breakfast on the table making his stomach wriggling for contents.

~kruuuuukkk

Rachel lowered her head while pressing on her stomach, embarrassed. Moreover, his voice was heard by Jim, because the room was very quiet. It must have sounded so clear that it made Jim hold back his laughter. Seen from his shaky shoulders and both his hands were holding his stomach.

"You're laughing at me!" Rachel hits Jim's arm.

"No! You are funny! let's eat before..."

~krrruuuuuuk

This time Jim's laughter broke out in the dining room, he could no longer hold back his laughter.

"You're evil!" Rachel is going back to her room but her arm is held back by Jim.

"Eat first! Come on!" this time Jim led Rachel into his chair. Pushing a chair for Rachel to sit down then she turned around the table to sit in her own chair.

"Let's spend it, sorry it's a little charred but better than the others" Jim said.

"Thank you, then which one?" ask Rachel.

"Where do you want?"

"I mean, the other one's charred," said Rachel. Jim was wrong to scratch his head.

"Don't think about it" he smiled and bribed a lot of food into his mouth so he couldn't talk.

"Eat slowly and moderately! The habit of eating sampe is full of his mouth!" rachel's Scolding. Then he took a bite of the slightly charred bread. Jim smiled between his chews making his eyes narrow like staying in line.

After breakfast, the two immediately prepared to head to Jim's parents' house. Before Jim takes Rachel on a picnic, they'll stop by for a second.

Throughout the journey Jim hummed incessantly and his hand never escaped from Rachel's hand. He linked his long fingers to Rachel's tiny fingers.

"That's great, '" Rachel commented as she looked at Jim who kept smiling.

"What happiness is forbidden?"

"No! But seeing you so serem, it's been a smile from earlier,"

"Hmmmh..."

"Why? Can't believe?" jim asked while peeping Rachel's back.

"Jim! Was ah! Again do not be weird gini!" Rachel said.

"Remember, this morning the streets are deserted,"

"It's not a problem but be careful!"

"Yeahaa... Be careful,"

"Jim!"

"Yes, I can't wait a minute,"

"It's not okay but it's on the way, be careful."

"Yeah, chatty!" jim said glancing at Rachel.

"Biarin, for our safety. I don't want us to do anything. I want us to always be gini, healthy and enjoy the day together" Rachel said with a smile. Jim smiled and refocused on the streets.

They finally arrive at the gate and the car enters Jim's parents' yard.

"Wuaaaah to come! Come on in, have some breakfast!" take Sandra, Jim's mother while holding Rachel.

"We had breakfast aunty" said Rachel.

"Aunty? Mamma... You are a habit. I told you to call mama" said Sandra fatigued while bringing Rachel to the dining table. Rachel smiled wryly. Honestly, he was nervous to meet Jim's family.

Jim sat next to his father and chatted, while his older brother was just getting up and going to the office. He just nodded at Rachel and said goodbye to the others.

"Jim! Your wife is hard to say!"

"iii... Wife?" rachel looked at Jim's mother.

"Why ma?"

"Call the aunt's mama on,"

"Yaaa maybe my mom's face is still like aunty, not a mama-mama kayak" Jim replied with a smile.

"Don't know what the hell you are! Let's get Rachel eaten,"

"We had breakfast, ma, sorry," said Jim.

"Oooohs... Yes it's okay, but later bring the snacks, already mama readyain," said Sandra.

"Okay ma, yeah we've done it first,"

"That's a big deal!"

"Later we come again, maybe stay the night" Jim said.

"really right? Mama wait anyway. Watch out for not being!" threaten Sandra.

After that Sandra was busy wrapping various foods for the two of them on the pretext that at the picnic there was no one selling food.

After that they left and went back on their way.

"I'm still confused" said Rachel.

"Why?" ask Jim.

"We're married?" ask Rachel. Jim laughing.

"What are you, time forgot. We're newlyweds right after you came to your senses from the hospital,"

"That means...."

"You're my wife, I'm your husband,"

"No..."

"Udah, don't be too burdensome on your mind. We're here to relax. Relaxed. Okay well? Go to sleep, it's still a long way away" Jim rubbed Rachel's head. Although there were still a lot of questions in her head, Rachel agreed to relax and take a nap as her eyes started to get sleepy.

Jim smiled all the way. This is his dream, he wants to be with Rachel. He doesn't want to separate. Somehow at first until he could like Rachel, everything just flowed. Jim drove back to his car so they could get there.

Rachel is completely asleep, ignoring Jim when Jim stops at a bridge and takes her down. But Rachel simply turned her body around and went on to sleep. Jim again lets Rachel sleep and he takes some pictures of himself and the surrounding scenery before continuing his journey.
