Love at Dusk

Chapter 23: Guilt

Reyhan began to think about what he should reply to, unable to carelessly reply to the message for fear that Rere would return to hope for him and it was all not good for the Reyhan and Aisyah household, he must keep his limits in mind.

^^^-Udah malem Re, sleeping. Let the spit heal. How are you doing now?- Send.^^^

I'm much better news now. I'll be well soon, 'cause my medicine is right next to Rey's.

^^Yes now sleeping. Don't get sick like this anymore.- Send.^^^

I'm sleeping soon Rey.

Every mallem I like this dream we will do it again, you want we used to like to stay up late while you vidio call me.

^^^Re, this is malem. Sleep now.-Send^^^

Yes, I slept, you slept too. Good night Reyhan.

Reyhan just reads it, then deletes all the chat himself with Rere. Hopefully after Rere recovers he will behave like a normal friend, and hopefully this is just a guilty feeling of making Rere sick. In the future they will forget the story that has ended, he will refocus on Aisyah and live quietly without thinking about Rere again. Hope so. I hope that.

Reyhan kept back his phone, lying staring at the ceiling with a blank look, slowly he took a breath and turned to face Aisyah. Mama's perfect choice, a patient woman who always said softly to Reyhan, obedient and followed Reyhan's wishes without ever denying a single word, the permission he always said before wherever he went. But all that was not able to strengthen the walls of Reyhan's heart, he remained weak when faced with Rere, his heart was not that strong.

"Allahu Akbar." They started the morning prayers with solemnity. The quiet sound of dawn is indeed so peaceful and soothing to the heart.

After finishing the prayer, Aisyah kissed Reyhan's hands gently. As usual, they multiply their dhikr and prayers before going to fold their prayer mats again. "I go to bed, wake up at half-time. Still sleepy the problem," said Reyhan while opening the peci and scabbard. Last night he was not calm to sleep, even at two o'clock he was only able to sleep soundly and two hours later was awakened by Aisyah to pray dawn.

Aisyah smiled gently, she nodded. "Next time don't stay up again, ma'am." Reyhan froze, he looked at Aisyah in surprise.

"You're awake?" Asked with an erratic heart, did Aisyah see Reyhan unable to fall asleep? Seeing Reyhan exchanging messages with Rere. But the sound of smooth laughter and Aisyah's words made her a little calm.

"Even mas, because you seem very sleepy, different from yesterday-yesterday, maybe because you just started working again. Dad was also at that time very often bertengjain unfinished work." Reyhan smiled stiffly, he quickly nodded.

"Yes. Office work is still piling up" Reyhan replied quietly.

Aisha smiled sweetly again. Reyhan's guilt is growing. "Yes, I'm sleeping now, Aisyah wants to go first. What breakfast are you going to eat?" Ask Aisyah.

"What aja. Whatever your cooking, Mas like," said Reyhan sound sweet in the ear of Aisyah. After Reyhan went to sleep, Aisyah began to open the Qur'an. Read it so focused on paying attention to tajwid and punctuation.
