Love Because of Obligation

Late

The loud sound of alarm forced Anwar to open his closed eyes. Staring at the face of Aira who was still asleep in her arms, Aira's eyes were swollen and her cheeks slightly pale.

"Da... Aira... wake up Ai...!" Anwar repeatedly patted Aira's cheek gently "it's early morning!"

"hhh..." Aira opened her eyes to see Anwar who was looking at her "i'm tired, I'm tired of bathing first huh.."

"We pray to the congregation!" Anwar rubbed Aira's hair. "mas ready first yes"

"iya mas, I'll follow" Aira pulled her blanket back, the morning air made Aira cold.

After Anwar was ready with a cream shirt and scabbard, he saw Aira who still closed his eyes. "Ai. mas is ready"

Aira immediately got up from her sleep and received the towel that Anwar handed out, not forgetting to bring her replacement clothes to the bathroom.

Anwar was ready to tidy up the bed and fold the blanket and also spread out two prayer mats. Anwar stood in his square in front of the prayer mat of Aira.

Not long after that Aira was standing behind Anwar. "i'm ready..."

Anwar solemnly began to pray Aira two rakaats until reciting and praying.

Early morning worship closed Aira by kissing Anwar's hand and Anwar also kissed Aira's forehead.

"Hopefully you can do this with Ai's love, not just obligation" Anwar murmured inwardly.

Aira folds face up and the prayer mat then saves back, while Anwar changes the sarong with his jeans.

After asking Anwar's permission, Aira went to the kitchen to make a cup of hot coffee for Anwar.

For some reason this morning Aira felt her body a little limp.

"Mas, I'm sorry I can't send you forward, hopefully the recovery will be smooth....." Aira continued her sleep without delivering Anwar to the terrace.

"aamiin. mas depart first, "Anwar kissed Aira's cheek.

because the trip to the neighboring village market is about an hour more Anwar had to leave for work at 6 am. four days a week (Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday) Anwar visited four different village markets. and every Wednesday buy back stock to the city.

Mother and Sifa who since morning work to cook, wash and sweep the house, until breakfast they did not see Aira.

"oh yeah, Aira where.how not been seen since?" she looked at her two children and also her father.

"uh.. can't be like your sister Iyan...!" mother advised Iyan who was later always upset with Aira and Anwar.

"And she herself is more concerned with her husband than we are her family" Iyan replied exasperatedly.

"Maybe he overslept. Sifa, look in her room, don't be late for college!" dad mediates babbling mom and Iyan.

tock..tok.. "sister..." Sifa pushed the door of Aira's room, apparently not locked.

"Wake up sister, it's noon today'' Sifa approached Aira. "what's the sick sister?"

"we're not just tired of the deck, last night at 11 finished the task of the group..." Aira rubbed her eyes.

"brother's eyes are swollen, brother's cheeks are also pale...." Sifa was worried about seeing Aira.

"what time is it, deck?" Aira looked outside in the light.

"9 o'clock" Sifa helped Aira get up.

"hah, brother is late on deck, please take brother between ya. wait a minute brother is ready first" Aira rushed to the bathroom cleaning herself and changed clothes.

"deck, please fold the blanket yes, sister is already an hour late" Aira polished her face with thin powder and natural makeup then rushed out with her bag.

"father, mother... Aira went to college first, yes" Aira shakes hands kissing her parents' hands.

"Eat first, Ra!" mom's shouting.
