CURTAINS OF THE PAST

SUDDENLY SENSITIVE

"If at home, you will stick like a stamp. And if you're here, you'll keep looking at me. Are your eyes not tired?" Toni caught the sight of his wife who was unceasingly staring at him.

At that time they were in Toni's study. At his wife's request, Toni allows Iffah to come to the office with him.

He felt that his wife was a little aggressive towards him. Although not disturbing, but Iffah occasionally makes Toni not focus on her work.

Iffah did not let a friend of air reduce her time to look at her husband's shady face.

"Why, I just want to see your face." Iffah sahut was flat from the direction of the sofa she was sitting on.

"Hmm so. Yes already. Please look on, but never try to steal my good looks with that look of yours, yeah." Toni was acting as a warning to his own wife.

"Who wants to steal it? I'm just trying to take care of her." Elak Iffah opened his eyes and opened his thin lips.

"Keep in?" Toni stopped the work she was wrestling with, she seemed to think hard for a moment after hearing Iffah's defense of the charges from her.

"Hu'um.." Sahut Iffah, nodding lightly. "Keep it, so as not to be glimpsed by creatures called other women on the face of this earth." Iffah said full of affirmation and a sense of responsibility that is too excessive.

Toni chuckled at Iffah's serious-looking reply from the look on his wife's face.

"Why laugh?" Sumpul Iffah's. He looks irritated by the reaction of Toni who thinks his words are just a joke.

"Other women on this earth have eyes that we cannot forbid to see anything, including seeing us." Said Toni while getting up from her seat. He stepped over to Iffah and sat down beside his wife.

"And you like it?" Raut was not happy to be clearly drawn on Iffah's face. Her gaze turned into an annoyed look towards her husband.

"Heeemmhh.. In addition to being aggressive, you are also sensitive lately." Tempta Toni switched their conversation.

Toni grabs Iffah's shoulder and rests it against her chest. He gently stroked his wife's head.

"Are you, I'm so sensitive?" Ask Iffah slowly. Guilt comes with his aggressive attitude.

"A little bit..." Toni measured her statement with her little finger. With ease, he practiced the way that his wife often did.

"Say when you feel uncomfortable about it." Pinta Iffah was completely possessed with feelings of guilt.

"No, I'll take it. So don't even try to hold it." Elak Toni's.

"Nonsense..." Ledek Iffah smiled at his smile.

"Not really. I just want my wife to look comfortable without a burden. Asaaa...."

"Not beyond the limits..." Connect Iffah. He raised his body that was leaning against Toni's chest. Her eyes again looked at the shady face of her husband who was close to her face at that time.

"Thank you for giving me heaven in this world..." Say Iffah while squeaking Toni's cheeks with her smooth palms.

"It's time for lunch, honey." Iffah diverted their conversation. Haru's taste of Toni's words, making it look wrong at the time.

"Yes... Come on..." Get Toni up immediately and gently pull his wife's hand.

*****

After the prayer, Toni and Iffah went directly to the cafe in front of the office. The place where they had to fill their respective central Sumatera.

"I don't want to eat this, baby." Gulp Iffah when looking at the menu that Toni had ordered for her.

"Loh, why? Isn't this your favorite food?" Toni stared in wonder at the face of Iffah who felt awry towards her. "Yes, already. What do you want to eat?" Toni asked again, he did not want to argue a small matter with his wife.

"I-I. Pe-ngen yam rebuus." Pinta Iffah is heavy.

"What?" Toni was stunned by his wife's strange request. While Iffah just looked down afraid to see Toni's reaction. His eyes looked red and teary at once.

Toni's shock reaction made Iffah look shocked at the time.

Toni who was able to catch the mood of his wife, immediately melted back the tense look of his face.

"Sorry, Honey... I didn't mean to yell at you. I'm just surprised." Toni clasped Iffah's fingers to relieve the pressure her wife felt.

"Partially, here's where there's sweet potato stew... We'll just look outside how?" As much as possible Toni persuades and calms Iffah back.

"But this food you spent first, yeah." Pinta Iffah. He wiped his eyes which still felt hot and slightly damp.

"It's two servings, honey. My stomach won't be able to hold everything." Toni remembers very well that his wife was in a sensitive period at the time. So, he tried to talk as softly as possible.

"How about you eat one, we'll still find boiled yams for you." Persuade Toni.

"No..." Reject Iffah. His eyes looked glassy again.

"Yes already... You don't have to cry like that. I'll wrap this one up later." Toni's getting resigned. He no longer wanted to make a debate with Iffah who end up being whiny.
