Next morning.
Geo woke up first on Syakila's appeal. She smiled happily, Syakila fell asleep comfortably in her arms. Though, last night Syakila refused to sleep beside her, but, now it was Syakila who slept while tightly hugging her body.
She caressed Syakila's face and kissed her head. He smelled Syakila's forehead, however, he quickly closed his eyes again when he saw the two Syakila's eyeballs moving.
Shakila opened her eyes, she smelled the refreshing aroma of mint from Geo's neck. He loved the scent so much, for several times Syakila always sniffed it.
”This mint aroma is very fragrant and refreshing. Hum, I love the aroma.” murmured.
Without him noticing, Geo smiled happily in the pretense of his sleep. Yes, geo heard Syakila mutter.
Do you like the smell of my body? I didn't think you'd like it. If you really like it, sleep next to me, so that every morning, you can breathe my scent.
The next minute, Syakila realized that she had fallen asleep last night in Geo's arms. He took off Geo's hand that was coiled around his stomach slowly. He woke up, sitting on the bed, still beside Geo.
”Unexpectedly, I could feel warm and calm, even fall asleep soundly in this man's arms. And without me knowing it, I myself hugged this man's body tightly, lucky I woke up first. If only he had woken up first, how shameful I would have been if he knew I was hugging him.” murmured again quietly.
Geo smiled in his heart.
Unfortunately, I already know that, Syakila. But, since you've said so, alright, I'll pretend not to know if you've hugged my body even like the scent of my body.
Syakila looked at Geo who was still closing his eyes. Unknowingly, he reached out to caress Geo's face with a smile.
His face was so handsome at close range. What is this, my heart beats fast just because I touched her face?
As he realized, he pulled back his hand. He got out of bed and went to the bathroom to clean himself up. Geo opened his eyes, a wide smile adorning his lips.
”Can I assume you're getting interested in me, Syakila? Is the god of romance shooting his arrow into your heart, so you like me, Syakila? If yes, I will be very grateful.” murmured slowly.
He touched his face where Syakila touched earlier with a smile that still adorned his lips.
”When he caressed my face, my heart was beating fast. Did he hear my heart beat just now? Is his heart also beating fast like my heartbeat?”
I don't know what this feeling is that I feel! It must be just a comfortable feeling when I'm around her, it's not love, is it? Yes, this is not love, only a feeling of calm that arises for a moment because it is comfortable nearby, nothing more.
Geo closed his eyes when he heard the sound of the bathroom door opening. Syakila had been neat after she changed, she put on a handbody and combed her hair, she also applied a little lipstick on her lips. Although without making-up, Syakila already looks beautiful just by wearing thin powder.
Finished preparing his teaching needs, he approached Geo and woke him up by gently patting his shoulders.
”Geo, wake up!”
Geo squirmed, he opened his eyes.
”Eh, Syakila. What time is it?” ask while yawning.
”Em, it's half seven. Get up, I'll help you take a shower. After that change and we both go down to the kitchen, accompany me ready for breakfast.”
”Ok,” Suhut Geo.
Syakila holds Geo and sits him in a wheelchair, taking Geo to the bathroom. Syakila bathed Geo, a few minutes later. Geo has been neat after changing.
”Now, we go to the kitchen.” Invite Syakila.
”Hum, get me my phone.” Geo said.
Syakila picked up Geo's phone and gave it to her, she also carried her bag. Then he pushed Geo's wheelchair out of the room. They went to the kitchen.
”You sit here accompany me to cook.” Syakila said.
”Tumbenan you ask me to accompany you cooking, usually also not.” Geo said.
”If you do not want to accompany me here, then go ahead. Just leave me!” say Syakila while preparing ingredients for cooking.
”No, no, let me here. Here onions and other ingredients, let me peel them. You do everything else.”
Syakila looked at Geo with a look of disbelief, ”You're serious?”
”Yes, am I kidding?”
”Can you properly peel the kitchen ingredients?”
”You underestimated me? Bring me that, let me show you my skills.”
Syakila gave Geo the necessary kitchen materials, along with the knife. Geo picked up the knife and started peeling the onions.
”Wow, it turns out you can peel it!” praise Syakila.
”You're gobsmacked? Do your other work, do not need you to see me again.” said Geo.
Syakila pursed her lips while turning her body. Geo smiled slightly. Unexpected by the two of them, in front of the kitchen door, Rosalina smiled broadly at the interaction between Syakila and Geo.
I'm sure, slowly Syakila and Geo will definitely like each other.
He let the two lovebirds work together in the kitchen. He went ahead in a breath of fresh morning air. Geo has finished peeling the kitchen materials needed. Syakila also finished washing the vegetables that will be cooked. The rice is also mature. He moved the rice into the rice barn, so that the rice vapor was reduced.
”Burnya in how right? Is it finely chopped, or coarsely chopped?”
”In your opinion, which one matches his chop to make fried rice?” ask Syakila while plying her waist next to see Geo.
Ck, the charm of this woman...
”Oh, will you make fried rice? Alright I'll cut the bring now.”
Geo started finely chopping red onions, garlic, large chili. It also cuts small meatball pentols.
”This, it's done.”
He pushed the material towards Syakila. Syakila took it and looked at the pieces of onions and pentol.
”It turns out you can count on, yes.” he said.
”Hum, you can count on whatever it is to me, the important thing is that you trust me.” said Geo with a thin smile looking at Syakila.
Syakila ignored Geo's remarks, she turned her body towards the stove. He lit a fire on the gas stove and took a frying pan. He started cooking fried rice.
Geo smiled wryly looking at Syakila's back.
Why can I be disappointed with his attitude? And I want him to apologize and say ”I will count on you and I will trust you” , heh, this kind of thought? How could a Shakila possibly say that to me.
A few minutes later, Syakila had finished cooking her fried rice. He scooped the fried rice into three dishes and the rest he scooped on the rice barn and put it on the table.
”We do not know when mama will wake up, the important thing is we have prepared food for mama. We just eat now, won't you be leaving for school soon?”
"Em, yes. But, can't mama not consume cold food?”
”Yes, you are right. If mama has not come after we finish eating, mama fried rice just store it in the refrigerator that heater.” said Geo while pointing to the refrigerator heater.
”Nak only, Mama is awake and Mama wants to eat now with you.” Rosalina said as she walked into the kitchen.
”Mama,” says Syakila and Geo.
Rosalina sat in her chair and took her fried rice.
”Come, please eat your food, what are you waiting for?” said it.
Unvoiced Syakila, Geo and Rosalina eat their food. A few minutes later they finished eating.
”Syakila, you go to school, dirty dishes and this kitchen, let Mama clean it. Incidentally, Mama today did not go to the office.”, Rosalina said when she saw Syakila collecting dirty dishes on the table.
”It's okay, Mah. Let Syakila finish work at home first, just left for work.”
”He said Mama was right, Syakila. It's almost eight in the morning, go! Mang Obi is waiting for you in front.” now Geo is speaking.
”Alright, oh yes, Geo, can Mang Obi not wait for me at school? Give me the number, if I come home from teaching, I'll call him to pick me up. Get her, Geo if she's waiting for me in front of the school gate.”
Geo squealing saw Syakila. ”No, you go, don't be late!”
Syakila complied, but, before he came out of the kitchen, he prepared fried rice into the bushel of food. He slapped the backs of Rosalina and Geo's hands. Geo kissed Syakila's forehead, as Syakila kissed the back of her hand. Rosalina smiled happily to see him.
”I go!” pampered.
”Hum, be careful!” sahut Rosalina and Geo.
”Iya,”
Shakila out of the kitchen. He came to Mang Obi who was waiting for him. After Syakila got into the car, Mang Obi ran the car, driving Syakila to school.
.. ..
In the kitchen, Albert's residence.
Rosalina increasingly smiled broadly at Geo after Syakila's departure.
”Mama is happy, you and Syakila have started to get close and open themselves.” he said.
”Mama, what Mama saw, doesn't fit Mama's thinking. Me and Syakila are close together just for our good and purpose. You know, if Syakila loves Sardin, not me! Sure, Mama also knows right, after Geo is healed, Syakila and I will be separated!”
”Mama knows that, but, can't you hold Syakila by your side? Make her love you, Mama doesn't want to lose a daughter-in-law like Syakila.”
”Mama, I won't hold Syakila by my side, I don't want Syakila back to hate me. Mama take it easy, if I love Syakila, I will make her love me and settle down by my side. But, if I don't love her, I'll let her go in search of her own happiness, so will I, I'll look for my own happiness.”
”Geo, when will you go to the office to work? Beni still wants to put herself at the center, I don't know when she'll be back.”
Rosalina deliberately switched the conversation, she did not want to discuss the relationship of Syakila and Geo anymore. He did not want, Geo thought if he would force Geo to hold Syakila.
”Let's Mah, after Geo back from city S, Geo will be back to company.”
Rosalina squeaked a look at Geo. ”City S? You're going there, what for?” tanyanya.
”Iya, Mah. I'll take Syakila to S town this afternoon, we'll be there for two weeks. So, during that time, Mama was the one who took care of the office.”
”Why suddenly you guys want to go to S city? Did something happen to the Syakila family? If so, Mama also went there.”
”Not Mah, Syakila family is fine everything. Only, now Sardin was in need of the presence of Syakila by his side. Sardin had an accident, and he was unconscious, so, Syakila will be there to see him.” Geo said.
”Do you not why take Syakila to meet the person she loves?” rosalina asked seriously.
He was afraid that his son would again be disappointed in women, and instead Syakila healed Geo, but instead made the disease worse.
”No, Mah. I really believe in Syakila, she's a reliable and trustworthy girl. Even though she doesn't love me, she knows how to keep my feelings and respect me as her husband.” Geo replied confidently.
”If you are sure so, fine. It's up to you, the important thing is, you don't get disappointed if you get hurt again. Mama is very hopeful on your recovery, Mama does not want your disease to get worse.”
”Mama take it easy, if Geo is in the middle of the Syakila family, Geo will recover quickly. Geo was very sure of that. Syakila can cure my disease, with the earnestness of Syakila, she will definitely make my skin slowly be able to accept and interact with the outside air.”, said Geo again.
”You're so sure of him? Don't you like Syakila, Geo?”
”Iya, Mah. After Syakila convinced me to trust her, and said I would be fine if nearby, I had already decided to trust her. Likey? To like, I like her, she is a good girl, she is also very attractive.” Geo said while daydreaming Syakila with a smile.
Rosalina smiled a little.
I know, you're starting to like Syakila. It's just that you haven't been able to ascertain your own feelings.
”What is she a beautiful girl?” Rosalina accidentally provokes a question for Geo.
”Yes, she's a beautiful girl, very pretty. Her smile was so sweet with dimples on her cheeks and on her chin, adding to her beauty. Her beauty is very natural, I love it.” replied Geo still with fantasizing Syakila.
”Oh yes?”
”Iya, Mah. Eh, wait! Mama asked what? Mama, don't listen to me talk. I don't know what I said earlier.” said Geo nervously.
”Already, son. Mama caught your words. Never mind, Mama also agrees if you are with Syakila. After all, she is your wife now, just how do you make her like you.” said Rosalina with such win.
”Serah Mama. I'm going forward first.”
”Are you ashamed of Mama now, son? Just this time you feel embarrassed, Mama more sure you love Syakila.” mocked Rosalina.
”Mah__”
”Em, alright, alright. Let's both go forward.”
Rosalina holds Geo's wheelchair. Pushing him out of the kitchen.
”Geo not going forward, Mah. Geo's going to the room. Mama go ahead alone.”
Geo pushed his own wheelchair towards the elevator door. Rosalina was surprised to see the attitude of her only child.
”Is it really Geo, my son?” muttered.
He let Geo go to his room alone, and he, he went ahead with his head bobble with a smile considering the unusual treatment of his son.
