LOVE BEHIND THE VEIL

5. Tragic Genesis

It was getting late, the time had already shown at 5 pm. But the house shades of color Cream and brown is still not fully neat. There are still some big boxes that they have not opened yet.

The couple began to get tired.

" Dear,..I'm so tired can we continue tomorrow ?". Pinta David to his wife.

Sofia who saw the tired face of her husband, became unbearable, she approached the husband while giving a bottle of Mineral Water.

" Dear, it's okay tomorrow we continue to organize everything, you rest first" he told the husband.

Both of them were sitting on the living room couch.

" Tomorrow I will find a housekeeper to clean things up" David said as he finished the drink his wife gave him.

" No need, I think I can solve everything by myself, besides I don't really need ART, I can still take care of everything myself" replied Sofia sure.

" No. Do you forget that you're pregnant now, you're not too tired of anything else lifting heavy, heavy lifting, I don't want anything to happen to you and also our child candidate" said David again firmly do not want to be denied.

" It's good, though,..Be good... It's up to you." resigned Sofia.

She knew that this was the way her husband could not be denied, especially regarding their future children her husband was very overprotective.

" Do you like this house ?" david asked while looking at his wife with great love.

" Of course, I really like it, it seems like the neighborhood here doesn't really like to interfere in other people's affairs. Not like where we lived yesterday." said Sofia again with a little sewot tone.

David who heard his wife's reply immediately laughed.

" Do you still have grudges with the neighbors there?" he asked again while stroking his wife's hair.

" I don't get revenge, just don't like their stupidity, it makes me so uncomfortable to pretend like I don't know anything." he said again in a slightly up tone making it clear that he was really disturbed.

Seeing his wife a little emotional, David landed a kiss on Sofia's forehead.

" No need to be angry, now we have moved to a place that is much more comfortable not!.what else now you have a new friend" said David to calm his wife and smile.

If you have talked about their old residence, then, Sofia is always carried away with emotions like no neighbors there always feel like they want to know what Sofia is doing even often gossip about Sofia because they have not been pregnant even though they have been married for quite a long time.

And it makes Sofia very uncomfortable and asks her husband to move in search of a better place to live for them.

Especially away from the neighbors.

Understandably, they used to live in an ordinary residential yard not too elite as it is now.

Because it is not hearty to hear his wife always complaining and crying, therefore David looking for a house that is in accordance with the wishes of the wife.

When David got their new home, it turned out that Sofia tested positive for pregnancy after 5 years of marriage.

David is increasingly convinced that their new home will bring blessings to them later.

" Yes...! I'm happy here, if having neighbors like Shena and Bu Inggit seems like fun. They are very friendly and kind" he answered with a happy face.

" That's good,..!! if you're happy and comfortable then everything will be safe" David said with a laugh.

Sofia who heard the answer from the husband immediately looked and narrowed her eyes.

" What does it mean Aman?!!" asked Sofia inquiring.

David only replied with a loud laugh seeing the expression of his wife who thought it was funny...

" It's been there you took a shower first, it's been very late afternoon it's not good for pregnant women to take a bath too late" David told Sofia.

" Eemm...Alright." Sofia replied as she got up from the sofa then walked towards their room on the second floor.

Feeling tired, he finally laid his body on the soft mattress, never felt he fell asleep with a swift.

To the point of not realizing that the husband had been lying next to him.

...****************...

Sofia awoke from her sleep, as the occupant inside her stomach thrashed for food. Sofia took her cell phone and looked at the clock, her eyes widened to see the time had shown at 23:30 p.m. They had slept for a long time and his stomach felt sore. Sofia turned her head and seeing that her husband was still sleeping soundly, she shook her arms to wake him up.

" dear, baby,..Honey, wake up..ayo I'm so hungry" said Sofia as she continued to wake her husband.

" cnl.." David got up and sat with his eyes closed. " What do you want to eat.?" he still has the same position.

" I want to eat Rice Padang" said Sofia with enthusiasm.

David, who was still half conscious, just nodded his head.

"What time is this?" asked David again, yawning several times.

" It's 23:30." Sofia answered honestly

David who heard that immediately opened his eyes, looking at the clock on the cellphone.

" Athaghfirullah.". he said in shock.

" Why?". asked Sofia confused to see her husband.

" Where there is a Padang rice stall at this hour, it must have been closed all, what else is raining outside must be the traders have also returned home.

Sofia's face immediately turned sad "but I really want Nasi Padang" he said again.

David who saw his wife's face already bent like that only sighed violently. " Alright we'll go around looking, but if it's closed all, we'll just eat something okay?". bargain David again.

" Okay okay ". Sofia answered with pleasure.

Sofia and David wear jackets to warm their bodies, because the rain is quite heavy out there.

But when they wanted to open the door to his room "DDOOORRRR.". they heard a loud gunshot from next door to their house.

Sofia and David look at each other, and Sofia hugs her husband's arm.

" What sound is that??" asked fearfully and curiously.

" I don't know.like the sound of gunfire ". replied David origin.

It was not long before they heard the gunshots again.

His voice was right next to their house. More precisely the sound of gunfire was like coming from Shena's house.

Sofia and David, who were very curious about the origin of the sound, tried to find out by peering through the window of their room.

Because their room has a glass window directly facing the Shena family home.

When looking from behind the window curtain, Alang was shocked!!. Their eyes immediately broke to see what was happening, they seemed to not believe what they saw.

Sofia who saw that, immediately her body was squeezed, trembling, the fear of crying tears had flowed, the voice was already stuck in the throat. Sofia covered her mouth with her palm, feeling disbelief in her vision.

David, who saw it, swiftly hugged the wife's body and closed the window curtain, fearing that someone would suspect and see them.
