Love Sheila

S2 New Status

Sean pressed a combination of numbers that were pins on the door of his apartment. And after the door opened Sean, Sonia, Adrian, and Nadirga went inside.

After completing a phone call with his mother, Sonia and the others say goodbye to Ayu and Erna. Sean, Sonia, Adrian, and Nadirga also say goodbye to Mr. Aji as the owner of the boarding house, as well as thanking and returning the key to the boarding room belonging to Sonia to Pak Aji.

And right now, this is where they are right now, in Sean's apartment.

"Gue same Dirga directly back yes. It's very malem, you also have to rest" said Adrian.

"OKAY. Thanks Yan, Ga, for everything. Sorry to have you guys messing around," replied Sean.

"Never mind, like who is Lo. The same brother Dirga back then yes So-eh Ana," said Adrian who was almost released to call with the name Sonia.

"Yes, brother, thank you for everything" replied Sonia.

Sean slightly frowned, since when did Ana call Adrian as sister?

"Gue back Bang, Ana," said Nadirga as well.

"Thanks for everything Ga" said Sean while Sonia nodded her head.

"Assalamu'alaikum" said Adrian and Nadirga.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Careful," replied Sean and Sonia.

Adrian and Nadirga then leave Sean's apartment.

An awkward atmosphere immediately surrounds Sean and Sonia after the departure of Adrian and Nadirga. Sean then cleared his throat slowly to relieve his nervousness and started a conversation between them.

"Ehem. Ana, can you please make me some tea?" sean Pinta.

"Of course Sir. If I may know, where is the kitchen?"

"Follow me. Her stuff just stay here first."

"Good."

Sonia then follows Sean into the kitchen of the apartment.

"The cup is on top. Sugar is just like tea on the bottom shelf" Sean said.

"good. You just wait in front so I'll be anther."

"I'll wait at the dinner table."

"Oh, fine then. Just a minute, sir."

Sean nodded then sat down on one of the chairs at the dining table.

"Make two, another one for you" Sean told Sonia who was picking up a cup.

"Good sir" replied Sonia stammering.

A moment later Sonia approached Sean with a tray of tea in her hand.

"Please sir," said Sonia after putting a cup of tea in front of Sean.

"Sorry Ana. Sit down, let's talk for a second."

"Good Sir."

Sonia then sat down on the chair in front of Sean.

"Adrian you called me 'sister', so why am I still 'father'?" sean asked that made Sonia gasp.

"Sorry," Sonia's great-grandson.

"Don't apologize. So, what do you want to call me?"

"Mmm, what about 'Mas?" sonia Proposal.

"Hmm, maybe. Okay, so from now on you call me. And one more thing, don't talk too formally to me. You're my wife now."

There is a warm feeling that runs through Sean's heart when he admits that Sonia is his wife. And the face of Sonia also seemed to glow red hearing the name 'my wife' uttered by Sean earlier.

"Well, Mas" said Sonia who was still so awkward.

"Don't be too formal. Just be usual."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Ana, if I may know, why do you have to work side by side at the cafe? What salary have you gotten from Mas company not been enough?" sean asked, voicing the question that had always been disturbing his mind.

"It's not so. It's just,, it's, like,,,"

"Why only?" asked Sean curiously.

Seeing Sonia who seemed agitated and hesitant to tell a story, Sean was able to realize that there was a problem that Sonia was facing.

"The story is the same. Your husband now. You can share your problems with Mas," persuaded Sean reassured Sonia.

Sonia exhaled slowly, trying to strengthen her heart to tell a story.

"Yesterday my grandmother in the village was sick and in-opname. And to pay for my grandmother's care while in the hospital, I got a loan from the head of RT in our village. So Ana took the side job to pay for the money that Mom had borrowed, Mas" Sonia told the story.

"How much money did you borrow for the grandmother's care?"

Again, Sonia fell silent with her head bowed, seeming disinclined to answer.

"Ana?" Sean is still waiting for an answer.

"About fifteen million Mas," Sonia replied in the end in a quiet voice.

'Gosh, only fifteen million, and that already makes Ana have to work hard by taking on side work? O Allah, it turns out that it is true, a little for us but not necessarily for some people, Sean is deep in his heart, feeling sorry for the reality that exists.

"How much is your account number? Transfer to you now. After that you transfer to your mother. If directly Mas who transfers fear later mother even confused," said Sean while taking his phone lying on the table.

"Eh, no Mas, no need," Sonia refused, raising her face.

"Ana, you're Mas's wife now. You are the responsibility. Your problem means Mas's problem too" Sean said.

"But Mas,,,"

"Write your account number" Sean said, propping up his phone.

Sonia still seemed hesitant.

"Come on Ana, write now," Sean's orders are absolute.

Slowly Sonia's hands are stretched out to retrieve Sean's phone. Then type a series of numbers on the phone. After Sonia finishes, she pulls back Sean's phone.

Sean got his phone back. Operate it a while, then, then,

"It has. You can transfer it to your mom right now," Sean says, putting his phone down and drinking his tea.

Sonia gets a report notification from the mobile bangking on her phone. And after opening the message Sonia immediately rounded her eyes.

"God, why so much? It's too much Mas" said Sonia, feeling bad after learning that Sean transferred a hundred million to her account.

"Whoever that a living was born from Mas. You can use it for your needs. You can also send it to your mother for the needs of your mother and sisters there."

"But Mas, this..."

"Ssttt, no more discussion. Now Mas want to ask you to stop working side jobs at the cafe. You're ready, aren't you?" cut Sean and ask Sonia.

"Good Mas. Later I will tell Mbak Ayu, because yesterday also Mbak Ayu who helped enter me work at the cafe," replied Sonia.

"OKAY. Oh yes, today you also do not have to go to work first. Your feet are still hurting. Let Dirga take care of your license."

"Yes mas. Sorry yes, I haven't done anything yet Mas kayak gini," said Sonia.

"What the hell are you talking about Ana? Don't ever say that again, there's no troublesome word between us, okay?"

"Yes, it's."

"Yes, now you sleep, rest. It's almost three in the morning."

"First, I want to pray tahajud for a while."

"Oh, if so we pray tahajud congregation. Yuk," asked Sean as he stood up from his seat.

"Eh, i-iya Mas," Sonia replied stammered.

"We pray in our room. Uh, but you don't pa-pa have to go up the stairs to the second floor?"

"No pa-pa kok Mas. It's not so painful."

"Yes, yuk!"

Sonia followed Sean's steps towards the stairs. Seeing Sonia who was a little troubled, Sean finally helped Sonia walk up the steps one by one.

Sean opens the door to his room and invites Sonia to go inside. The typical masculine smell of men instantly seeps in Sonia's sense of smell. The dominant room has a black and white color, simple but elegant arrangement, and very neat. That was Sonia's first impression as soon as she entered Sean's room.

Sean and Sonia then take ablution in turn. The two of them then perform tahajud prayer congregation in Sean's room with Sean as his priest.

Today was truly an unexpected day for Sean and Sonia. In an instant, the two of them had changed their new status to a couple, although it had to start with unpleasant events and misunderstandings. And now, for the first time, they are performing congregational prayers, as husband and wife, on the first day of their marriage.
