10. Quality Time with Husband

Shaka and Keyla arrive at one of the roadside food stalls. The stall sells rice with various kinds of side dishes such as chicken penyet, catfish, grilled chicken, and other simple menus that are often found in the area.

Keyla got off the bike and straightened her hair. He did not wear a helmet because he did not have one.

“Abis this temenin buy helmet, yes. Look at this, my hair is a mess,” Keyla said with a frown while continuing to tidy up her hair.  

“Iya, bring it,” Shaka said while scrambling Keyla's hair.

“Shaka uh, her hair is more messy tau.”

“Mean her hair is picketed so as not to fly-flying in the wind.”

“Nevent have a hair tie too.”

“Yes, all of you buy.”

“Oke.”

After the storm of messy hair problems, they entered and sat at one of the tables in the shop. Shaka then ordered a chicken penet complete with rice and stir-fried kale terasi. While Keyla just likened his order to Shaka. To be honest, Keyla had never eaten in a stall like that before.

“What do you want to drink?” ask Shaka.

“What are you?” keyla asked back.

“Es tea dong,” replied Shaka with enthusiasm when calling the favorite drink of a million people when eating chicken rice with spicy sambal.

“I want that too,” said Keyla follow-up.

Soon their orders arrived. They both started eating without making a sound. Until the moment Keyla wanted to try kale vegetables, he felt something strange with the smell.

“Shaka, what vegetable is this? Why doesn't it smell so good, huh? Is it fresh?” keyla asked in a soft voice so that the others would not hear. It just so happened that Keyla was sitting next to Shaka, not facing him.  

Shaka laughed a little. He knows, Keyla must be foreign to the smell of the eggplant in the kale.

“It doesn't taste good, but it tastes good. It's fresh. Look, it's still hot, it's freshly cooked. Cobain deh,” replied Shaka.

Keyla was silent. He seemed hesitant to try it. Suddenly Shaka took the little kale with a fork and blew it a little bit not too hot. Then he fed it to Keyla. Keyla who was hesitant immediately changed the spirit of eating kale from Shaka's feed.

“Mmmmm..enak!” exclaim Keyla.

“Enak right? So try it first, let's eat again!” said Shaka.

“He'em. Oh yeah, you often eat on the roadside like gini, huh?” ask Keyla.

“Ngak. I used to be just like you. I doubt I would eat food like this. But circumstances that make me used to eat this,” replied Shaka while chewing his food.

“Then? What difference does it make now?” keyla asked while looking towards Shaka.

Shaka looked silent. He stopped his bribe.

“I asked wrongly, yes?” ask Keyla again slowly.

Shaka cleared his throat relieving his awkwardness. “Ngak. I mean, I cook myself more often. But sometimes a lot of work, not to cook,” replied Shaka without turning to Keyla. He just continued eating.

Keyla shrugged her shoulders. Whether Shaka's answer is a lie or an honest one, it doesn't matter.

Half an hour they spent eating, after which they went to buy a helmet and also tied Keyla's hair.

Keyla several times tried the helmet on her head and asked Shaka to comment on it. For Shaka all helmets are the same. Everything is suitable for Keyla. Finally the choice fell on a pink helmet, his favorite color.

Next they went to an accessories store to buy Keyla's hair tie. Keyla looked around at which hair tie she was going to wear, while Shaka tailed her from behind. They look like teenagers dating.

“Buy a lot, if it is lost there is another stock,” Shaka said advising Keyla.

“I rarely tie hair. No need to buy much,” denied Keyla.

“Buy only, make saved. Later I will pay,” Shaka said again.

“Yes no problem. You are my wife,” said Shaka keceplosan.

“Eh, what did you say just now?” asked Keyla who was happy not to be upset to hear Shaka admit her as a wife.

“No re-broadcast. So, pick it, it's late at night. The shop was about to close,” said Shaka switched the conversation.

“Iya, yes,” says Keyla with her pouting lips.

Shaka just stumbled a laugh on his lips. He was just flippant. I don't know if Keyla's reaction was like that. Now his wife was even pouting.

You're so excited, Key. Inner Shaka.  

After choosing some hairbands, Keyla and Shaka head to the cashier to pay for it. Who would have thought in front of the cashier they even met Widya and Ema who just finished paying for her groceries.

“Mas Shaka?” greet Widya with a bright smile as bright as the morning sun.

“Eh, no Mas Shaka.” Ema greeted me kindly.

Shaka only smiled at a glance while nodding his head. While Keyla looked at the two women in front of her with astonished gazes. He wondered why only Shaka was being greeted but he wasn't.

“How come it's here? This is a women's accessories store,” Widya asked.

Lah, did he not see that beside Shaka was a woman? Was I invisible in their eyes, right? Gerrutu Keyla in heart.

“I again asked my wife to buy her hairband here,” Shaka replied as she threw a smile at Keyla who was standing next to her.

Keyla took her husband's hand. “Yes, we again quality time together. Abis from eating the same shopping too,” said Keyla who wrestled spoiled to her husband.

Widya's bright face now turned cloudy. I think if he doesn't get out of there quickly, it could rain a storm.

“Oh, ordinary newlyweds are so. But in the long run also on the boss,” Widya said with a cynical smile.

Ema quickly nudged Widya not to talk anymore.

“Mas Shaka, we first, yes. It was night. Excuse me,” said Ema Then quickly pulled Widya who still had time to wave at Shaka.

“Bye Mas Shaka.

Keyla let go of her hand and handed her groceries to the cashier. But Shaka still pays for everything. Keyla suddenly frowned. He didn't like those two little ladies.

When they finished, they went home. Keyla got off the bike in a hurry. Shaka guessed, this must have something to do with Widya and Ema.

Shaka, who sees Keyla struggling to open her helmet, approaches to help Keyla. Shaka raised Keyla's head so that he could more easily remove the helmet hook.

At that time their distance was so close. Keyla who was looking up could clearly see the good looks of her husband. Shaka is the same. Keyla is so pretty that she is almost flawed. They were silent for a moment admiring the beauty of the face in front of them.

Clik.

The helmet hook under Keyla's chin slipped off. Then Shaka opened his helmet. Keyla who realized the situation immediately turned her gaze in the other direction then walked into the house first.

“Wait!” call Shaka when Keyla gets into her room.

Keyla stopped her steps and turned to look at Shaka. Shaka approached Keyla.

“Do not pout anymore. Do not let your beauty fade because of a lot of frowning,” said Shaka then pinch the tip of Keyla's nose slowly.

Blusshhhhhhhc.

Keyla's face was red. He was no longer able to hide his reddened face because of Shaka. Keyla could not answer anything. He nodded and went into his room quickly.

Shaka smiled then shook his head looking at Keyla who was misbehaving.

She is adorable. Inner Shaka.

Seriate...
