An Unwanted Marriage

Birthday Dinners

Happy reading & ''Double

"No building, not like that. What you think is wrong. I love you so much even though I have disappointed you. But believe me you are the only one I love and as I said before, I will never be parted from you" Gibran said without hesitation.

"Tell me how should I believe ?" sabina asked with her face turned soft.

"Because what I said is true. You are the most important and most precious to me." replied Gibran. Sabina did not respond to what Gibran said. Mr. Anwar emerged from behind the door and stopped the debate between the husband and wife.

"Non, the car's ready."

"We'd better get going." Sabina stood up and immediately carried her handbag and walked out of the house.

sabina's steps came to a halt in the doorway, Gibran held back his wife's steps with a hug from behind.

"I love you, Bina. I'm sorry if what I did made you feel doubtful. But I promise I'll fix everything and I'm so sorry I let you down. You are the main thing for me, you are never an option because there is never anything else." whispered Gibran and Sabina as much as possible holding back tears.

"Whether we go, father must have waited" Sabina replied in a trembling voice.

"Yes, okay... We'll talk later."

***

30 Minutes later they arrived at the residence of the noble family. Sabina's arrival was welcomed by her family. Not only did Sabina get a warm hug but so did Gibran.

As Sabina wished, tonight is not an official dinner with steak and other dinner dishes. But the father ordered some pizza and pasta, his daughter's favorite.

"Gibran, would it not matter if Sabina ate it ?"

"What's wrong Dad, just don't overdo it" replied Gibran and Sabina's father looked relieved.

Not many come just family and closest relatives. Coincidentally one of Sabina's older brothers was in Jakarta with his wife and two children making Sabina busy chatting with her nieces and cousins.

Even so Sabina did not forget the existence of her husband. He served Gibran well as if there was no dispute between the two of them. He did not want to make his family look bad at his husband. As a wife, Sabina kept Gibran's good name.

Sabina poured a glass of water for her husband and helped prepare the impromptu feast.

"Wait a minute, I'll help the others first" Sabina said, bowing to Gibran, who was sitting at the dinner table, and Sabina standing behind him.

"Let's calm Bina, your husband will not be tempted" said one of Sabina's aunts and her cousins laughed at that.

"yes, don't flirt, because he belongs to me and I'm fierce about that." sabina replied with a laugh and she wrapped her hands around Gibran's neck and made the man's chest beat faster.

Gibran looked at Sabina's departure with a sad face holding back the longing. Truly he longs for the warmth of his wife as he used to. he longs for Sabina's gentle and loving attitude. The shadow of how they lived lovingly danced in Gibran's mind.

Before long some people came to bring a lot of pizza, various pastas and various kinds of drinks. Sabina helped prepare on the table even though she knew Gibran's eyes weren't being diverted from her. As much as possible he behaved normally even though his heart almost came out because it was beating fast.

"Strong Bina, strong..," he said while continuing to fix. "Why just because it was stared at my whole body felt weak." Sabina muttered almost inaudibly.

"Onty, sit me down." whining his two nephews fighting each other.

"No, Onty Bina was sitting next to me" said Sabina's niece from her cousin.

"Hus, don't scramble. Onty Bina sat next to Gibran. Kasian om Gibran from earlier could not stand the need to sit down with his wife" said one of Sabina's cousins and his words were able to make Gibran and Sabina flushed. Their eyes met and locked each other for a moment until the words of her sister-in-law spread Sabina's mind.

"Bina, sit. Poor Gibran alone."

Sabina said she was sitting right next to her husband.

"Don't cape-cape, sit here with me." whispered Gibran and Sabina just smilingly in response.

"Gibran, who is extra cheese and drinks iced coffee" Sabina said as someone approached.

Sabina deftly prepared dishes and drinks for her husband and Gibran continued to pay attention.

"What do you want from others ?"

"No, it's enough." replied Gibran.

Just now Sabina was about to start enjoying pizza on her plate. Come his two nephews with a cake with some candles on it and accompanied by a happy birthday song sung together. Sabina shed her tears for haru and blew the candle when the singing stopped.

"Cut the cake, Onty. Give it to someone most Onty dear."

Sabina smiled as she obeyed what her niece wanted. He cut the birthday cake and moved the piece on a small plate.

With trembling hands Sabina also fed Gibran who was not far from her. Without Sabina thinking, Gibran also gave her a kiss on the cheek. " Thank you, dear." whispered softly and a tinge of red adorned Sabina's cheeks at this time.

Everyone clapped and laughed in happiness. And they also began to enjoy the dinner that has been served.

Sabina savorfully enjoyed a slice of pizza on her plate. This was the first time for Sabina to feel the pleasure of eating after some time her appetite was lost due to the ongoing feud with Gibran.

Sabina's meal came to a halt when she felt a burly hand with an exaggerated vein stroke anchored over her thigh. Who else if not her husband's hand.

Sabina turned her head and Gibran did the same.

"Why ? want to add ?" ask Sabina.

"No" Gibran replied, shaking his head.

"then ?" Sabina furrowed her brows not understanding.

"I miss you, Bina. The kangen we used to be. So let me know if you're near me" Gibran and Sabina answered smiling, nodding their heads.

"You guys stay over tonight. It's too late to go home" Sabina's father said as the two were bidding.

Reflexively, Sabina and Gibran immediately stared. If they stay, of course, they must sleep on the same bed when previously they both slept separately for 6 nights.

Gibran had indeed decided to return to his room but that had only happened this afternoon.

"Tell you, Bina" said Gibran as if he understood what was in his wife's mind.

Seeing the expectant father's face Sabina also agreed and it was true that a happy smile rose on his father's face when Sabina agreed.

And here they are, in Sabina's old room and things go back awkward because actually the relationship between the two has not returned to normal as usual.

Awareness at dinner is actually a strategy to cover the actual situation. Although Gibran and Sabina feel the spark of love that turns out to still be there.

"Bina, i...,"

"Just sleep here." cut Sabina down while pointing at the side of her empty bed.

Gibran was relieved and raised his body to the bed.

"good night" said Sabina, and she turned her back to Gibran .

Gibran stared at Sabina's agitated body as if seeking comfort.

"Why?" ask Gibran.

"it's always like this every night, probably because her growing belly makes it hard for me to find a comfortable sleeping position" Sabina replied.

Gibran got out of bed and walked around to his wife. He picked up some pillows and asked Sabina to sleep in the position she was directing.

Sabina obeyed what Gibran said and indeed now her position became more comfortable even though she finally had to sleep facing each other.

"how ?"

"much better, thank you" Sabina replied with a smile.

Gibran moved closer and now he wrapped his arms around Sabina's waist and hugged her tightly. Sabina swallowed her saliva from feeling nervous but strangely felt much more comfortable again. The baby in the womb is now calmer as if getting what he wants.

Really now this is the most comfortable sleeping position for both of them after 6 nights ago both Gibran and Sabina fought hard just to close their eyes in order to fall asleep.

But now neither Gibran nor Sabina need to feel anxious because drowsiness comes over just because of the overwhelming comfort felt by both.

The problems between Gibran and Sabina are not over. But both are aware that the love they feel never goes away.
