Canticles

245. Is different...

Living in a new place with different customs does not make Rex and Shezi daunted. They quickly adapted to the surrounding environment including the customs and culture in Aceh.

Entering the fourth month, their activity increased. They are so busy that they almost never have dinner together. That's because Rex will be back home when the clock shows at eleven o'clock in the evening and that means the dinner hour has passed. And usually Shezi will eat with the housekeeper at their official house.

Since Rex returned almost midnight, he sometimes found Shezi asleep in their room. Rex did not bother about it because he understood that Shezi was also busy with Persit activities.

That night was the same as the night before. When Rex returned Shezi did not welcome him because he was in the room. Rex suspected his wife had fallen asleep because she was tired of waiting for him.

Rex rushed into the room after thanking the housekeeper who had opened the door for him.

When he opened the door, Rex smiled to see his wife lying down and looked down. Shezi was laughing when she read the chat on her phone.

" Assalamualaikum..," said Rex suddenly as he kissed the wife's cheek to make Shezi surprised and turned to him.

" Alaikumsalam. Kok ga said if you want to go home, honey, I can be ready to welcome you..," Shezi said as she got up to hug her husband.

" Want to welcome what, will you already in a rich room gini..," said Rex while landing a kiss on his wife's forehead.

" What do you want to be welcomed with...?" challenge Shezi with a meaningful smile.

" Wah nantangin. Wait I'm done cleaning. Do not sleep first, be careful if you dare to sleep. I'm going to make you not get up tomorrow.." Rex said half-threatening.

Shezi laughed at her husband's words. She also helps Rex prepare clothes when the husband goes to the bathroom to clean himself.

Rex hugged his wife from behind. Shezi turned her body so she could freely hug her husband.

That night they returned to happiness together. They channel desire with love. Many times doing the union of love does not make both tired, as if the thirst for each other does not also want to end.

After a long journey, Rex and Shezi arrive at their destination for some time. Both of them lay on the bed with a satisfied smile.

" Why are you so different tonight, dear.", Shezi said, wiping the sweat on her husband's forehead.

" The time. I think it's you who's different, baby." Rex said as he kissed the tip of Shezi's sweaty nose.

" Why are you talking about it. You know I'm not a hyper woman" Shezi protested as she pulled a blanket over her body.

" Gapapa, I like it. The husband himself is very much in the same way," Rex said with a smile and pulled Shezi into his arms.

Shezi smiled and immersed herself in her husband's arms. Shortly thereafter, a soft snoring sounded as a sign that Shezi had fallen asleep.

" Fearful looking at it, even sleeping sampe did not stunt wearing clothes..," muttered Rex with a smile and then pulled a blanket to cover his wife's innocent body.

After fixing the sleeping position of the wife, Rex also closed his eyes while hugging his wife who was asleep.

A few moments later Rex opened his eyes again because he heard Nyai Hadini's voice behind the window.

But different from usual, this time Nyai Hadini did not enter the room. Nyai Hadini just stood outside the window and asked Rex to come closer to her.

" What's up, Nyai, I don't want to go in. Pake told me to get out everything. I'm not wearing anything anymore" Rex said half a whisper.

" You can wear your clothes first Rex, after that meet I am here..," Nyai Hadini said calmly.

Rex nodded. He grabbed his clothes and Shezi was scattered on the floor. Then Rex took a quick step into the bathroom to make ablution and put on clothes. Lucky room in dark conditions, so Rex feel not too worried if Nyai Hadini can see the naked it.

After ablution, Rex's appearance looks more fresh. Rex stepped up and opened the door to the small garden next to the room.

At that time Rex saw the appearance of Nyai Hadini much different from usual. Nyai Hadini appears to be wearing a bright blue kebaya suit and brown batik array. Her hair is neatly bun, different from usual that is allowed to break loose. There was a small golden crown on top of his head.

" Neight is very different. More neat and beautiful. Where does Nyai want to go...?" taste Rex.

" I want to say goodbye to Rex. I have to leave in a moment..," said Nyai Present Lirih.

" What does Nyai mean ?. It was not that Nyai also used to come and go without saying goodbye. Where is Nyai going...?" rex asked with an uncomfortable feeling.

" I have to go where Rex is supposed to be. My job is done, so it's time for me to go..," said Nyai Hadini.

" Seriously want to go ?. If Nyai leaves, who will find me if around me there will be danger Nyai...?" ask Rex gusar.

" You have to learn Rex's self. Recognize the signs of nature, then you will know if around you something bad will happen..," said Nyai Hadini with a smile.

" That's difficult Nyai. I'm not that smart," said Rex.

" The place is minute, who does Nyai mean...?" ask Rex curiously.

" Your wife..," said Nyai Hadini steady to make Rex surprised.

" My wife, Shezi means Nyai...?!" ask Rex in disbelief.

" yes. After this I will treat him to Rex..," said Nyai Hadini with a smile.

" What happens if you go into My Wife's body. Is Shezi able to live a normal life like humans in general or just be abnormal...? " ask Rex worriedly.

" You don't have to worry about Rex. I only bequeath my talent but not my body let alone my spirit. So Shezi is still your wife you can touch and you're as gaunt as ever. Only in a certain moment will he show you the privilege that can help you and the people around you" Nyai Hadini explained.

Rex seemed to be silent for a moment while thinking. Suddenly he was startled by the presence of Shezi who had been wearing full clothes seemed to be standing behind him with a blank look.

" You are not interested in Zi. When did you wake up and change your clothes, baby...?" rex asked as he gently touched Shezi's cheek.

But Rex was surprised to feel his wife's cold skin.

" A. what happened. Why is my wife like this...?" ask Rex to panic.

" Rex Gapapa. That means your wife's body is ready to accept my presence." said Nyai Hadini.

Rex nodded in understanding and helped Shezi sit on the porch. After that Nyai Hadini also started the action.

" I'm saying yes to Rex. Thank you for all the time you and your wife have given me. Thank you.." said Nyai Hadini.

" Together Nyai. Thank you for everything you have given me. Go away, I will help you with prayer." Rex said as he began chanting.

His form of Hatini slowly turned into a thin smoke that partly entered Shezi's body and some others soared into the sky.

Shezi slowly opened her eyes and was surprised to see herself on the porch with her husband.

" What are we doing here, honey...?" shezi asked suddenly.

" Enjoy the night in the middle of a beautiful garden made by my wife..," Rex said with a smile.

" Don't keep praising me, I'm so ashamed" Shezi said, covering her face with both palms.

Rex laughed and held Shezi back to their room. Shezi also leaned spoiled on the husband until they arrived at the room that had returned neat.

Shezi's shy attitude makes Rex sure that the presence of Nyai Hadini in his body will not make his beautiful wife change.

Rex believes his future with Shezi will be happy. Moreover, not long ago Rex found a two-striped test pack and a doctor's certificate stating Shezi's pregnancy in the dresser drawer.

Shezi wanted to surprise her. And Rex intends to pretend to be surprised when Shezi confesses her pregnancy later.

And the story of Kidung Petaka ends here.
