Half of the Heart belongs to Sahla

Bima and Sahla (3)

"We'll stay here." Bima Say.

Sahla was silent. He looks confused. Want to refuse, but do not want to disappoint Bima and already here.

Seeing Sahla speechless, Bima was even happy. The silence of Sahla this time, very profitable Bima. Since he doesn't need to argue, he can take Sahla as he pleases. Selfish indeed. But Bima had no other way to get closer to Sahla. At home, there is Mom and Dila who can at any time be a bully.

"Come on." Bima slightly forced Sahla to walk. And having no choice, Sahla must follow. 

Bima rented a tent and all the equipment to spend the night here. From starting pillows, blankets, special cooking tools for camper.

"Let's go in. Rest up. Put on the blanket, let's get warmer."

Sahla according. He went into the tent. Quite comfortable. Then he took off Bima's jacket.

"Sister, put on the jacket. I'll just wear a blanket." 

"OK." Bima received the jacket and wore it. The weather here is very cold, especially when it is late at night.

Sahla sat near the tent door while looking at Bima who was cooking noodles. Bima had prepared it. Bring a variety of snacks, noodles, drinks, and coffee.

In the midst of cold weather it is good to eat hot and spicy noodles. And hot coffee as a supplement.

"Let's eat." Bima brought the mature noodles before Sahla. 

Sahla was deeply moved by Bima's treatment. He should have cooked, but vice versa.

"A lot of her sister ?" Sahla asked, it looks a lot. Almost filled one pot.

"It's okay. It's for both of us."

Sahla nodded. 

They both ate very well together. Sahla and Bima look awkward no more.

"You want coffee ?" Bima asked, after finishing their meal.

"Can." Sahlan continued to look at Bima who was cooking water. Bima who noticed it, occasionally glanced towards Sahla and smiled. Sahla was wrong. His smile continues to grow. Feeling very happy together with Bima with a very supportive atmosphere.

"This is for you." Bima offered a cup of milk coffee to Sahla.

"Thank you, brother." Sahla.

Then Bima sat down beside Sahla.

"Do you like it ?" Ask Bima.

Sahla nodded. "Yes, good place." 

They fell silent again, but occasionally they glanced at each other. Like two people who are kasmaran, maybe others see them like that. Shameful but willing.

"Here's your hand." Bima said while taking Sahla's hand and holding it.

Sahla was of course shocked by the actions of Bima, who suddenly just clasped his hands. But he just let it go.

"Your hands are warm." Then suddenly Bima kissed Sahla's hand. Sahla's reflex pulls her hand from Bima's. But unsuccessfully, Bima further tighten his grip so that Sahla's hand can not be separated from his hand.

"Why ?" Ask Bima.

"So Brother, many people."

"Yes, let's go in." Bima even invited Sahla into the tent.

"Sister?" Sahla's expression turned frightened.

Bima who saw him just laughed. "Handering, Neng. Don't be afraid of it." Bima let go of his grasp and gently rubbed Sahla's head. 

"His own husband is afraid." Say Bima again.

Sahla was silent. He won't respond.

"Let's get ready, be willing to magrib."

Bima and Sahla went from the tent to the mosque in the camp. After performing 3 rakaat prayer magrib. They're back in the tent.

Sahla wrapped her body in a blanket. The clothes he was wearing did not keep him warm.

"Why ? Cold huh?"

Sahla nodded. "Other times if you want to go again, say yes. Let's have some preparation." Sahla.

"Yes. Sorry yeah. Want to drink something ? Or eat ?"

Sahla just shook her head. Bima feels guilty for Sahla. Then he went into the tent and hugged Sahla from behind. Sahla was shocked because suddenly Bima did something like that.

"You know, why did I bring you here ?" Ask Bima. Sahla shakes.

"So I can get closer to you like this."

"Can't it be at home?"

"Of course you can, if you're in the room all day long, without going out at all."

How could that be ? What would Mom say if we were just in the room ?"

"That's you understand. At home, you're not all mine. But here you belong to me completely."

Hearing Bima's words, Sahla's face heated up. And his heart exploded like he was cooking popcorn. Then Bima leaned his chin on the right shoulder of Sahla. Now the faces of the two are side by side.

Bima and Sahla were silent. Enjoy their togetherness.

"Where now? It's not cold anymore ?" Suddenly Bima asked and let go of her embrace.

"Eh. i yes." Answer Sahla.

"Let's get out. Put this jacket on." 

"Nobody wears a jacket, let me wear a blanket."

Bima clasped Sahla's hand, enjoying the view of the village at night. Like an ocean full of lights. It's exquisite. The sound of people singing accompanied by guitar passages, adds to the warmth of the atmosphere tonight. Not to forget, the stars were present with a sparkle in the clear sky.

"Sail."

Sahla looks at Bima. "Yes, sister ?"

"Maybe it's too late to reveal it here. But. I want you to know that I've been in love with you since I first met."

Once again, the words of Bima made Sahla soar. Maybe during the day, it will look how red the face of Sahla. And he did not know what to reply Bima just said.

"How are you? Is there love for me?" Ask Bima.

Sahla shakes, "don't know."

Bima sighed, slightly disappointed by Sahla's reply.

"All right, it's okay. I'll wait for you."

Sahla scrunched her forehead. "Waiting me for what ?" Ask Sahla wonder.

"Waiting for you to fall in love with me."

"For what ? Am I not your wife now ?"

"Yes, you are my wife.

 But I don't have love in your heart for me."

"Is it important?"

"Of course."

"Wouldn't a wife without love still be able to serve her husband ?"

"Is that so ? If you think so, let's try."

"Try what?" Sahla increasingly does not understand the direction of Bima's conversation.

Without even bothering about Sahla's question. Bima slightly forced Sahla to go inside the tent. They are already in the tent. Not to forget, Bima closed the door of the tent.

Sahla's face instantly turned frightened.

"What do you want ?" Sahla asked. Bima stared intently at Sahla with her mischievous smile. A little rough, Bima pushed Sahla's body to its back, and brought her face closer to Sahla's. Sahla immediately turned her face away and closed her eyes. He did not want to see such a Bima.

They were in such a position for quite a while. But nothing happened. Bima refrains from doing anything to Sahla. He was just a little joking.

Then Bima pulled her face away from Sahla, and sat down next to her. Realizing Bima had changed her position, Sahla ventured to open her eyes, and looked towards Bima. Bima's gaze could not be separated from Sahla.

"Why? Scared?" Ask Bima.

Sahla got up and sat down. He swallowed his saliva, neutralizing the raging feeling.

"Basic fool. How could I do it here." Pretty rough Bima said to Sahla.

Sahla stared intently at Bima, not accepting to be treated like that. Without replying to Bima's words, Sahla immediately lay back to Bima and enveloped her body to the head.

Bima saw Sahla's behavior, quite surprised. Because I didn't expect to get that kind of response from Sahla. All he wanted, Sahla revealed all her heart, not to silence him like this. Bima restored her hair, feeling frustrated to face the romance of female nature.
