"alright. Let's eat! I mean, on one plate, Abi Fazila's plate." I break the silence. My thin lips began to carve a smile.
My chest is pounding very fast. My heart won't listen to me, thankfully my heart didn't jump out.
The beautiful face of Abi Fazila also showed a smile. Slowly he began to remove his tight grip from my fingers. And without asking he immediately shifted the plate in front of him to be in the middle of the two of us. Slowly feed after mouthful began to land on our lips.
Really, not a delicious meal. But this moment is incredible. Even if it was just a piece of dry bread, I'm sure it would still be delicious because we ate it both. Slowly but surely as soon as this distance began to decrease. Every second we spend is worth something extraordinary. I started to enjoy my time with her, along with Abi Fazila.
"This meal is delicious. Ummi can't cook like this anymore...!"
My shady Netra instantly narrowed, I really do not understand Abi Fazila's words. Does he like his food? Or does he not like the food? It's really confusing.
"If Ummi continues to cook as well as this, Abi believes Abi will turn into a cow. The fat cow."
"Well.what's sa-pi?" I asked while holding my breath, my eyes round.
Does he think my cooking is bad? A cow? Wahhh... This is really outrageous. My babble in heart.
"Haha... Maafff. I mean, it's not like that. Ummi knew, the meal that Ummi cooked was really delicious. I can't even stop not eating it. If this goes on, all the clothes in the closet won't fit on my body.
If all those clothes don't fit anymore, who am I going to blame? The answer is Ummi. Aye, right? Haha."
There was no reply from me other than a small nod, we were still dissolved in jokes and laughter without realizing the food on our plates had run out. And accidentally our hands hit each other, suddenly it made Abi Fazila laughs restrained. Our eyes back together.
The cessss!
It felt as though thousands of peace began to gently caress the depths of my innermost heart. I found peace in her beautiful eyes.
"Does Abi Fazila want any more? I mean, food. Do I need to add it?" I asked just to hide my happiness.
"No. I'm so full." Reply Abi Fazila while dipping his hand in a small bowl of water that I have prepared.
"Thank you." Abi Fazila, again.
"Together." My reply, briefly.
"May I call Ummi Fazila by Ummi's call?"
I was still speechless as I looked at the face of the beautiful man who had become my husband.
"If Ummi Fazila doesn't like it, I won't do it. I promise, I won't do anything Umm Fazila doesn't like."
Abi Fazila ducked while sighing. He didn't even dare to look me in the face. Had he dared to look at me at this moment, he would have found my face filled with smiles.
"Do. Do whatever Abi Fazila wants. God willing, Abi Fazila will find me to be a submissive wife. Ridho of God's word and devoted to the husband." I sat without hesitation.
Somehow I felt Abi Fazila was hiding a deep sadness. Did I say harsh words? I'm sure I didn't do that. What makes it so sad?
Glekkkk!!!
I could only swallow the saliva, staring at the handsome face of Abi Fazila who was still ducking with sadness.
Does he regret marrying me? Does he still love that woman? If so how bad I am that enters into her colorful life! Should I give up? But it felt, there was no way he would shed a tear just from remembering that rude woman.
Ohhh God... I was in a dilemma. I can't read his mind. If he doesn't want to say anything, then I don't have the right to ask him. Fatimah, watch your mind. Don't let you act like an ungodly wife just out of suspicion. I was fussing at length. I could only ask from my heart, I knew this was useless, yet I could do nothing. I was not that familiar with Abi Fazila so I could share my fretful speck without hesitation. There's nothing wrong with him. It's just that I'm still not fully attached to this relationship, a relationship that is intertwined because of the past that still leaves a speck of wounds.
"Thank you for what?"
"For everything."
"Everything? What everything? I don't think I'm doing anything big. I'm going to live this household without hiding anything. I also promise, I will be more open with my heart and feelings." Say I assure.
"I never regretted marrying Ummi. I just thought marrying Ummi was the only great good I did.
There is nothing left between me and my past. In my heart, Ummi Fazila will be one forever. Even if I have to die, I will be absent in your love."
None?
That's a little overdone. I don't know where my courage came from, and without a second thought I immediately covered Abi Fazila's lips with my taut fingers.
I will keep my House as long as I breathe, and as long as I breathe I will always pray for her long life and happiness.
"I believe everything Abi Fazila said. Never say the word 'No' again. Stay healthy and happy. Because it's so much better for all of us." My babble while slowly pulling my hand from her soft lips.
Unexpectedly and unexpectedly, Abi Fazila reacted amazingly and it made me completely shocked, my whole body felt like it was being hit by a high-voltage electric shock. I stood with my body stiffened. My liver? Don't ask me again, I think my heart will jump out.
Dag.Dig.Dug-saw.
I am still silent while digesting the situation, this moment is really stressful.
Abi Fazila hugged me! I never imagined this with my eyes open. Oh Allah... I was so tense, between happiness and shame. Those two feelings completely filled the entire pores in my body. My babble was inwardly as Abi Fazila grew even more hugged.
Did my words make her this sexy? I don't think I said anything wrong. My breath was tight, and my tongue was so bad that I couldn't ask him to take his arms off me. Am I enjoying this moment? The answer is of course I'm not so sure about that.
Not only did I feel an overwhelming vibration, my body also felt a cold heat. If everyone can't understand what I'm feeling right now, I really don't care.
"The Power bears witness to my love. I will live only for Ummi and Fazila. You are my world." Abi Fazila whispered in my ear.
His voice sounded very clear. Is this what we say happy crying? I don't know, it could be right and it could be wrong.
"Yes, okay. I know Abi Fazila loves me very much. Now please let me go, I can't breathe. Uhuk.Uhuk" I said while pretending to cough. I actually want to smile big.
"Mam-maaffff. I didn't mean it." Reply Abi Fazila while carrying both ears with his fingers.
We returned each other a smile, a moment later that smile turned into an irresistible laugh. Surprisingly, this time it was my turn to hug Abi Fazila, leaning his head against the chest of his field. I'm really happy. Truly, for the first time I felt such great happiness, that if time stopped, I wished to stop at this very moment, the moment where I completely accepted Abi Fazila as a companion in joy and sorrow.
Fatimah... Stay as happy as you feel right now. Look...? How good your God is to you. God replaces the pain you bear with happiness that you cannot measure with words alone. I murmured in my heart while tightening my embrace on Abi Fazila's burly body.
Abi Fazila also tightened his embrace, I am sure now everything will be fine. Without being able to hold back the happy tears just kept dripping from my shady netra, I didn't even realize Abi Fazila's clothes were a little wet from tears I couldn't hold back.
Fa bi' ayyi ala'i Rabbikuma tukazziban.
Which favor of your Lord do you deny? ( Qs. Arrahman-13)
How great is the gift of Power in my life, and how can I deny it? Instead of committing an unforgivable mistake, my breath would be better off as a breaker of all evil.
And I also started to fall in love. Falling in love for the first time, with my perfect husband, Alan Wijaya.
