Bhishma and Karina were getting ready for bed. Both are in bed. Time still shows at nine o'clock. Still late afternoon when compared with their usual hours of sleep. But because they are currently in the village and there is no signal that can be captured by their smart phones, they are confused what to do. Moreover, the small television in the house suddenly died when they saw it this afternoon. So they could not think of what they could do in the midst of the boredom that was engulfing other than to go to bed immediately.
But because it is still fairly late afternoon, they still find it difficult to start diving in the sea of dreams.
Bisma did close both her eyes. But the hand he had wrapped around Karina's waist still occasionally moved, indicating the man had not slept.
And so is Karina. Although his eyes closed, but his mind was walking in an uncertain direction. Moreover, the Bhishma hand that moved around her waist made a strange feeling that inevitably gave her body goosebumps.
"Eh." Karina opened her eyes. Bisma is too. The man looked at Karina worriedly.
"What's wrong? Is there anything uncomfortable?" Bhishma held Karina's shoulder and asked.
"No. But it seems like his movements have become more pronounced. Lately I've been feeling like something's moving inside my stomach." Karina held Bhishma's hand on her shoulder. He felt guilty for making Bisma worried.
"Thank God if there's nothing. We're sleeping again." Bhishma closed her eyes. Karina called him.
"What's wrong?" Bhishma once again opened her eyes. Staring at the astonished Karina who tonight looks very strange.
"Didn't you want to touch my stomach?" Karina bit her lip.
"Can I?" During this time, Bisma was also curious. But he did not dare to ask Karina.
"Of course I can. You're the father of this child." Karina said happily. He grabbed Bhishma's hand and pulled her to touch her stomach. Even Karina unhesitatingly put Bhishma's hand into her nightgown so that Bhishma could feel the small movements of their baby.
Like knowing if the papa greeted, the very small fetus showed its existence with small movements that are still only limited to vibration. The bisma who felt that small movement for the first time felt extremely astonished. He looked at Karina who looked back at him with a smile.
"He's moving." Karina.
"He's already started moving. Still not so often. Only occasionally. Nara said it was like that. If it is getting older, the more obvious the movement. I've even seen Nara's stomach bulge. She said her baby's kicking. I can't wait to feel the same way as Nara." Karina told me enthusiastically. He stroked his stomach until the smooth skin was clearly visible because of the loose t-shirt he wore.
Bhishma unconsciously swallowed his saliva. "Let's go to bed soon." Bhishma pulled her hand which was still comfortably perched on Karina's surface. Not to forget he also pulled Karina's clothes to cover the smooth white stomach that seemed to be teasing her.
Karina looked at the astonished Bisma who closed her eyes forcefully. Then he closed his eyes too. Following Bisma.
But no matter how much Karina tried to sleep, she could not sleep. The words of the spicy-mouthed aunt still bothered him. Moreover, the theme of the lecture at the lecture tonight is the task of being a wife. Karina had heard such a lecture many times. But first. Once upon a time he had not wandered into the city together with Fania. And at that time, Karina was still alone. So he didn't really include what Kiai said in his lecture. He and Fania instead choose to chat about things that are not really necessary. Ah youth is indeed the time to be a little 'bandel'.
And now, upon hearing again, Karina began to put it into her heart. Thinking about every word Kiai said and comparing it to his attitude all along. Thinking that, he was really far from the word 'good wife'.
"What's wrong?" Bisma asked, who opened her eyes when she noticed Karina's round eyes staring at her.
"What room can I ask you?" Karina looked at Bisma. The woman bit her lower lip.
"What do you want to ask?"
"You think.. Am I a bad wife?"
"Why are you suddenly asking this?" Bhishma was astonished to hear Karina's question. Their house was going well all along. He also doesn't feel like anything's wrong lately. Why does his wife ask this?
"So at the recitation, Mr. Kiai said that it turns out to be a wife that has a lot of responsibilities." Karina lowered her head. "It seems that after I thought about it, I never did my responsibility."
"What did the kiai say?"
Embarrassed? Sure oes. But what that spicy-mouthed aunt said really bothered her. What if he does not do his duty well, Bhishma will get tired of waiting for him and cheating on him? Although at this time she could not determine how she felt about her husband, but just imagining being cheated on her made her heart hurt.
While Bisma who heard Karina's question that seemed to provoke her suddenly could not make her voice. He was confused as to what to answer.
"Bisma please answer my question. Don't you want to touch me because you don't want to, is it because there's a deal?" Karina asked after not getting the answer she was waiting for from Bhishma. He shook Bisma's arm.
"Karina, do you really want to hear my answer?" Karina nodded confidently.
"Why?"
"I don't want to be an unkind wife. I received money from you. Receiving kindness. But I'm not doing my duty to serve you well."
"Karina, I admit I'm not a good man. I've done you wrong. At first I married you because I was forced to take responsibility for my actions. But I really want to change myself. I didn't love you at the time either. But that was before. Now, I've really accepted this marriage. Not just for our baby. But for us too. Me alone, you are alone. So I think it's good if we keep together."
"Do you really mean all these words of yours?"
"Yes." Yeah." Bisma. "I know you don't love me yet. So I don't want to force you to do that. I didn't touch you until now not because I didn't want to, or because there was a deal. Because I don't want to force you. That'sthat's all. I forced you once. And I won't do it again." Bhishma stretched out her hand and stroked Karina's head fondly.
Every night they sleep hugging. Sometimes wake up and realize the tempting body part is clearly visible in front of the eyes. Moreover, each eye opening was greeted with a charming plain beautiful face. Who could long resist not touching it? But Bhishma realized that if he forced Karina to do so, it might be a warm hug and that innocent face would never be able to see Bhishma again.
"If I allow it, will you touch me?" Bisma.
"Karina, I hope you realize what you're saying?" Karina was sure.
"Say people, doing that is addictive. At first I couldn't believe it. But after I've experienced it myself, I know if it's true." Bisma stroked Karina's cheek which was now flushed. "I've been wanting to repeat that night with you for so long. But I'm always afraid of hurting you again. So as much as I can hold everything back."
"I'm sorry for being insensitive. I shouldn't have been selfish in the first place. That ridiculous deal never should have been."
"It's okay. Don't think about it anymore. We should go to bed now. Tomorrow, we have to go to your friend's house to get him to pay the debt."
"But I'm not sleepy yet." Karina moved her body that began to grow sultry was in the arms of Bisma from the beginning.
"Don't move Karina. My sister who is good at making my sister is awake."
"Can you still hold it?"
"I try. That's why you're quiet." The bisma re-entered Karina's body. Sinking Karina's head into Bhishma's chest. Karina can clearly hear the rapid heartbeat of Bhishma.
"If you really want to, I'm willing to do my job tonight" said Karina sure she looked at Bisma ya g balsa face. Tanga Karina also moved caressing Bisma's chest. Move there and feel a heart beat that sounds very melodious.
