17. Postponing Farewell

“Key, are you ready yet? Don't dance pretty, Key. Want to go to the market doang, kok,” call Shaka while knocking on Keyla's room door.

Today is Sunday, Shaka is off work. As planned, they will go to the market early in the morning to shop and cook to welcome Bang John and his family later in the afternoon.

Not long the door opened. Keyla looked ready with her knee-length dress and sling bag. Her hair was left just like that. Shaka was stunned to see the beauty of the girl in front of his eyes. It was fortunate that he could marry a girl as beautiful as Keyla, even though he did not have it completely.

“I'm ready. Yuk, go now!” the word Keyla that broke Shaka's daydream.

“E e uh, wait, wait, wait!” Shaka pulls Keyla's hand.

“What market do you want to go to the mall and kayak gini? You will be thought to be the artist again shooting soap operas in the market if your makeup is like gini,” said Shaka. According to Shaka, Keyla makeup is too excessive if only to the market.

Keyla looked at herself from the bottom up. I don't think anything's wrong. He used to look like that.

“I'm used to kayak gini kok,” rebut Keyla.

“No, no. Change clothes there! You're wearing the same pants, Key. Hair is also pickled, so you have bought a lot of hair ties. Don't spread your charm in the market!” shaka Letah.

“Cie. Afraid his wife glimpsed people?” ledek Keyla chuckled.

“Ih, what?! Change it there quickly! Day hunt, nih,” Shaka shangkal.

“Iya, yes, patiently,” grumbled Keyla then went back into his room to change clothes.

Soon Keyla came out of her room dressed at Shaka's request. Shaka thumbs up at Keyla, agreeing with what Keyla is wearing now. After that, they went shopping at the market.

For her entire life, this was the first time Keyla had set foot on the market. He usually never wanted to know anything about the kitchen. But now her life is different. She has become a wife of a husband who is not high income, she must be able to adjust at this time.

Before entering the market, Shaka put a mask on Keyla so that the diverse smell of the market does not make Keyla nauseous. Then they shop for vegetables and other necessities like other young couples.

“Ayam already, vegetable, moreover, yes?” shaka asked on the sidelines shopping.

“No dessert, huh? How to buy?”

Shaka chuckles. The rich man's son in front of him had time to think about dessert or dessert.

“You think it's good dessert what?” ask Shaka again.

“You said Bang John came with his son, right? How about chocolate pudding? I don't think it's hard. Same we buy fruits, yes,” Keyla replied.

“Indeed you know how to make pudding?”

Keyla. “Ndon't know, anyway. We'll see on youtube how?”

“OK. We'll do it together. Now we find the material first.”

“OK!” sahut Keyla with passion. Unknowingly his hand immediately held Shaka's arm which was already full of their groceries. At first Shaka was willing to reprimand Keyla, but looking at her again, the girl next to him felt comfortable, so she paused her intention.

***

They spend almost an hour shopping at the market. The groceries in Shaka's hands were already full. After getting everything they were looking for, they went home.

Since today they were going to have guests, they planned to cook more. They cook fried chicken, fried tempeh, and vegetable soup. Not to miss the chocolate pudding as a dessert said Keyla.

After finishing cooking, Shaka and Keyla served the dishes on the dining table.

“Wah, finally done too, yes,” exclaimed Keyla while staring at the food that had been served.

“Iya. May Bang John and his family like it,” Shaka said.

“I keceplosan tell Bang John that I'm married. But John did not believe it. He said he wanted to see for himself, only he believed,” replied Shaka honestly.

“You have confessed me as your wife to your friends? Means you....hmmm... don't split with me, huh?” asked Keyla in a smaller voice.

Shaka was stunned for a moment. That's right Keyla said. If he had already acknowledged Keyla as his wife, then how could they be separated so soon? This was almost a week from their wedding. Will they split so soon?

“Sorry, I didn't forget that I was here just to hitch a ride. After you take care of our divorce, I will leave here,” Keyla said with a bitter smile. Since Shaka did not answer his question, he thought Shaka was angry with him for forgetting their initial promise to keep the marriage a week.

“Which after from here you want to go where?” ask Shaka.

Keyla shook her head, confused as to where she was going. Clearly, he will not return to his home. “I don't know. Anyway I don't want to go home.”

“But you said you wanted to leave here,” Shaka said.

Keyla looked towards Shaka. His eyes began to heat up. Until he realized his eyes were now glazed.

“If I'm honest, I don't want to leave here. I have nowhere more comfortable than here, next to you. But I also have to realize, from the beginning I have trapped you, I do not want to selfishly bind you with a marriage that you yourself do not want,” explained Keyla at length. His voice had started to hoarse as it held back the crying 

Shaka could not bear to see Keyla almost cry like that. He approached Keyla and summarized the tiny face with both hands. He looked at every corner of his sad face. Really, it doesn't feel like.

“If our farewell is delayed do you want?” shaka asked gently while looking at Keyla's eyeballs deeply. 

“You yourself how?” asked Keyla in a clean light.

“If you want, I'll be ready. At least we continue this until you can live independently, or until your problems and your family are over,” Shaka replied confidently. 

Tests.

Keyla shed her tears. Not because sad, but because moved because Shaka was so attentive to him even though he had just known him.

Keyla nodded with excitement. Of course he did not reject the offer. Right now it's just Shaka.

“Still, Shaka. Thanks because you always understand me.”

Cup.

Keyla couldn't help but kiss Shaka's lips. Although it was very fast as lightning, but it managed to shake the heart of the man he had just kissed.

After doing so, Keyla was ashamed of herself by her actions. Without saying anything, he ran into his room and closed the door.

“I must be crazy! Why did I do that first?” keyla muttered in her room while holding her lips.

“My first kiss,” said Keyla shyly.

While in the kitchen, Shaka was sculpting after getting such a surprise attack. Holding her left chest, right, her heart was shaking so violently. Shaka pulled the corner of her lips. The girl had already stolen her first kiss.
