Bride Shadow

Warm Shirt

The journey from the office to the house feels long because of congestion on some roads that are submerged in water. Mitha was a little shivering because of the cold and the rain that never stopped. The eagle has been turning off the car's ac since, but the cold is still out there piercing the bone.

"It's still cold?" the Eagle asked as Mitha who was wearing her suit was seen tightening both sides.

"Little bit. Just wait until the mas." he replied softly.

"Dry!" The eagle stretched out his left arm gesturing for Mitha to enter into his arms, but Mitha was still reluctant.

"Why?"

"I'm not surprised by the drive." Eagle chuckles. Speech is his habit from childhood. About driving the car even he has been playing since he was still a high school student in a blue and white uniform. There would be no big problem for him if he just hugged Mitha while running his vehicle.

"I'm not the over-compliant Udin. Comeon!" Mitha inched closer to her husband until the Eagle in her impatient gesture immediately pulled Mitha's slim body into her arms as the traffic signs were green again. True said Eagle, there feels warm. A little careful Mitha wrapped her hands around the husband's sturdy body until they arrived at the courtyard of the house. Udin, now permanently employed at the house, soon approached, received the car keys from the Eagle and put them in the garage.

"O Lord Mith, your hands are cold, dear." cried the Eagle as he held Mitha's hand into the house. He immediately sped up his pace for them to get to the Eagle's room immediately.

"Darling, you sit here first, let me get you some eucalyptus oil to keep your body a little warm." Deftly the burly hand drew a thick blanket so that his wife would not get cold.

"Buck...."

"Ehm..yeah, what's wrong?" The eagle returned to its position, sitting on the edge of the bed where Mitha was sitting leaning.

"I'm gonna take a warm bath."

"Honey, it's still cold."

"But I want to take a bath. My body is so sticky. Can yes..."

"As far as you go." The eagle broke up later. Just like Mitha, her body also felt sticky because of all day activities outside. He also knew that Mitha would not be able to sleep if she did not shower first.

"Where are you going?" Her burly body barricaded the way as Mitha instead of going to the bathroom, but instead moved out of their room.

"You take a shirt." answered Mitha innocently. The eagle took a long breath and exhaled it. Mitha did not fully carry her things to their room because there was no time. They are busy outside every day. He only brings the important things.

"But I'm not comfortable if I don't wear that shirt when it's cold" Mitha protested. The eagle knitted his brows. What clothes make Mitha so comfortable that she does not want to be replaced with other clothes? Many jackets or thick clothes in their closet.

"Say which one's the shirt. Let me get it, you take a shower just so you don't get cold."

"But mas?"

"Darling, you catch a cold. Why husband anyway?"

"Hmmmm.The warm clothes that you bought first" said Mitha blushed. The eagle that heard it tried to remember something. But he really forgot.

"Which one?" Mitha pouted a little for it. The eagle just can't remember ever buying him that shirt. Lest it was the clothes of his parents who bought the above called Eagle. Bless all this time he just....

"Mith..kok is daydreaming instead?"

"Engg. A lot of kok is covered." Why take it again if it's not the Eagle's gift. The shirt is not even special to him from now on. It does not have to be placed in the top row with perfect packing scented special perfumes like sacred items that are distinguished from others. He also no longer needed to suggest his mind to wear that shirt when the cold hit. After all, he still has the latest output of warm wedge stock that even bought his mother in large quantities.

"So you said.."

"Not so. I forgot maybe mas." sidelines Mitha quickly until Eagle is also confused by the change in attitude of his wife.

"Well, take a shower there." Said the Eagle while walking out of the room towards the room Mitha was in.

"The scent of a woman's perfume immediately smelled in her sense of smell upon entering the wife's room. The room is still neat even though it is not occupied. Remember the purpose of coming to the room made him immediately go to the big closet owned by his wife and open it. True Mitha said, many warm clothes with various models were there. The eagle almost grabbed the sky-blue thick shirt as the corner of his eyes stared at something in the top corner of the closet. Hand grabbed. A bag like a large mukena pink from there.

'My beloved man'

The sizzle while reading the black colored graphite pinned right above the picture of two fat rabbits hugging each other. Instantly his body felt stiff. It must be a gift from Andra Permana, her ex-boyfriend. Mitha insisted on taking her own clothes. Apparently he had yet to throw away his memories with that young master Permana. The eagle became angry because of it.

"I'll ask him later. I have to hurry back before he gets cold." muttered the Eagle while carrying the pack and the warm clothes were out of the room.
