ANTERIOR

ANANTARA - 32 New Neighbors

Aisha stepped into the house, followed by Adam and Erika. He went straight up to the second floor, to his room.

He intended to rest for a while, even though he had been silent all day on a hospital bed. It still feels different, more comfortable to lay his body on a soft mattress at home.

"Huh," Aisyah sighed.

Trying to get rid of all the thoughts that make him dizzy.

"Dear of it! Aisha!" shouted Erika.

Aisyah who heard the call was now only able to exhale a little harshly.

Just calmed down, he thought.

Aisyah got up and stepped out of the room, approaching towards Erika who was now continuously calling her name.

"Dear of it!" peekkik Erika's.

"Why, what do you want to call Ayesha?" ask Adam. "Let Aisha rest" he continued, reprimanding Erika.

"What the hell Mas, besides this is Aisyah's house, I'm not good if I have to hold this hold it." he said.

"Eat it I want to ask for help, besides Aisyah is already from a break, sleeping in the Hospital," exclaimed Erika felt unable to receive a reprimand from Adam.

Erika was upset, seeing Adam watching Aisha.

Aisha walked down the stairs, walking towards Erika and Adam.

"What's wrong, Mommy?" ask Aisyah.

Erika turned her head, then said, "Please make breakfast dong, I'm the laper."

"Mas Adam also has not had breakfast, you can make a meal well," continued Erika, telling Aisyah at will.

Adam turned his back, astonished at what Erika had said. Erika spoke like running water, without feeling guilty or bad.

"Erika!" reprove Adam.

Erika glared back, not accepting the continued reprimand from her husband.

"What the hell is it!" ketus Erika's.

Adam just turned his face away, looking at Aisyah. "Once you've got a break. Let Mas buy food from outside." Adam told Aisyah.

Aisyah nodded, not intending to refuse her husband's order. After all, Aisyah also still felt a little weak, not expecting that brave Erika told her to cook.

Aisyah was completely inexhaustible.

"So, I don't want to buy outside! I'm pregnant again, I have to eat clean, healthy food."

"You buy outside you don't know, what's healthy!" exclaim Erika.

Adam sneered at his temple, caught off guard by Erika's attitude.

"Yes, you're cooking yourself!" adam's jolt was unstoppable.

Erika was silent for a moment, staring at Adam with teary eyes. Didn't get a beating from her husband.

"Bad You are!" Erika squeezed her clothes, enduring the pain of not receiving Adam's treatment.

Adam breathed out a rough breath, unconsciously jerking Erika. He immediately took both hands to hold Erika's shoulders, trying to apologize.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for yelling like that" Adam said.

Aisyah who saw it, now turned her body chose to leave rather than have to see the drama between Adam and Erika.

It's just a matter of food and cooking. It should be like that, Aisyah thought.

He stepped his foot into the kitchen, but Aisyah also felt the same, hungry. Finally, Aisyah just looked for the ingredients in the refrigerator and prepared to make breakfast.

There was a noise coming from the direction of the central chamber, where Adam and Erika might still continue the play.

However, Aisyah ignored that, and continued to dabble with the ingredients.

Geck... Geck... Geck...

"Assalamualaikum" said someone knocking on Aisha's door.

Aisyah who was still in the kitchen did not hear that. Unlike Adam and Erika who have just made up and are sitting in the middle room.

"Who?" ask Erika.

Adam finally got up, walked to the front door, intending to see who had knocked on his door.

"Doctor Rizal?" adam exclaimed when he saw Rizal who was now standing at the door of his house.

Rizal smiled widely, revealing a row of his teeth.

"Good day, I just moved yesterday to the front house" said Rizal, pointing to his house.

Adam fell silent clumsy, strangely confused as well. At that time, Rizal quickly thrust a parcel containing fruits.

Adam received the parcel with a faint smile. "Ah, thank you Doc," she replied slightly.

"Call Rizal, sir.." said Rizal, intending to name his neighbor who he did not know.

"Adam," said Adam. "call Adam alone" he said.

Rizal smiled widely, he nodded with a face that continued to wander around looking into Aisyah's house.

Adam who saw it frowned, confused by the behavior of Rizal who had not yet left his house.

"You wanna stop by first?" ask Adam.

rizal's eyes rounded with a twinkle, he immediately nodded enthusiastically.

"Can!" reply spirit.

Adam immediately invited Rizal to enter his house.scratching his nape that is not itchy, saw Rizal who was so happy to enter his house.

"Any," murmured Adam.

Rizal entered and immediately sat in the living room with a face that was still frowning looking for Aisyah's whereabouts.

"Want tea or coffee?" ask Adam, offering him a drink.

Rizal smiled and said, "Tea."

With that reply, Adam passed away leaving Rizal who was now sitting alone in the living room.

Rizal circulated his gaze, looking at Aisyah's living room that looked so clean and neatly arranged. After seeing this room, Rizal seemed convinced, that blue was Aisyah's favorite color.

Rizal also saw a photo displayed in this room. The photo contains the face of Aisyah with Adam and Ali, it feels a little sad to see the photo.

Rizal feels realized that the woman he loves already has another man. However, Rizal quickly got rid of the sadness.

"Gakpapa, must PD, mate in the hands of God." Rizal's mind, encourages himself.

As if he did not realize that now he had craved a married woman.

"Aisha, I told you, We'll just buy some food outside." Adam embraced Aisha from the side.

surprised Aisyah who was stirring her lodeh vegetable.

"Mas, make me surprised," cried Aisyah. "gakpapa Mas, besides I'm afraid to eat vegetable lodeh." he continued.

Aisyah brought a spoonful of vegetable water and fed it to Adam. "Where? aisha asked, waiting for Adam's opinion.

Adam smiled, "Enak." he continued to kiss Aisyah.

Aisyah was silent, it had been a long time since she had not communicated this intimate with her husband. Aisyah also seemed to have forgotten her irritation to Adam yesterday, easily.

"Oh yes, I forgot. Please make tea, there is a guest in front, same regular special coffee for Mas." said Adam whispered in Aisyah's ear.

"Don't forget the snacks well," added Adam.

Adam walked away with a sweet smile that now made Aisyah smile herself.

"Who is Mas?" erika asked when she saw Adam coming back from the kitchen.

"There is a new neighbor, he brought a parcel, he said he would like friendship." reply Adam while offering a parcel of fruit given by Rizal.

"I'm sorry, can I open it, can I?" erika exclaimed with joy at the large fruit parcel.

Adam gave a small nod, then went towards the living room. Back to accompany Rizal who is still sitting sweetly on the sofa of his living room.

They ended up chatting, talking about a lot of things that just flowed.

"Hahaha.." the two laughed, as if they had been friends for a long time.

Not long ago Aisyah came, carrying a tray containing a cup of tea and coffee, not to forget some snacks that were in the jar.

Aisyah walked over with a slight bow of her head, as if she had not realized that the guest Adam was referring to was Rizal.

After moving everything from the tray to the table, Aisyah turned to get up intending to go back to the back.

However, Aisyah's eyes crossed with two eyeballs that were now looking at her with a look of admiration.

"Mas Rizal," Aisha's inner self with round eyes.

Aisyah immediately regained her senses, walking backwards towards Adam.

"Why didn't Mas say, the guest that Mas meant was Doctor Rizal" Aisyah told Adam.

Adam chuckles, "Mas is also shocked, seeing Doctor Rizal who turns out to be our new neighbor."

Aisyah now turned her head, looking at Rizal who was smiling widely towards her. In his heart, Aisha was afraid, if only Rizal would tell Adam the truth.

In contrast to Rizal who smiled widely, satisfied he could finally see Aisyah.
