Love Sheila

First Time

Steven opened the door slowly. Sheila was sitting on the edge of the bed with her cell phone stuck to her ear.

"Yes Bun, Sheila must take good care of herself. Mother need not worry."

Steven came in and closed the door. Put the bag on the table and sit on the sofa and rest his head. Looks very tired.

"Sheila close first, Bun, next time we connect again... Yes Bun... Yes sometime Sheila came by Bun... Assalamu'alaikum Bun."

After hanging up the phone with her mother, Sheila filled the empty glass on the nightstand with water and handed it to Steven.

"Diminum yet Mas."

Steven did not reply, but he took a glass from Sheila's hand and drank the water up the toilet. Sheila received the empty glass and placed it back on the nightstand.

"I helped take off his shoes, Mas" Sheila said, crouching down and began to open Steven's shoes.

There was no rejection from Steven, I don't know maybe he really felt tired at this time to take for granted all forms of attention from Sheila.

"Well you had dinner?"

Steven just nodded in response.

"I'm ready for a warm bath."

Steven just nodded. Sheila then stood up, put the shoes in place, then rushed to the bathroom preparing warm water for her husband.

"The water is ready."

Steven got off the couch. Sheila followed behind him.

"Tomorrow to go to Kalimantan Mas?"

Again just nodding.

"Do you want me to help you pack your clothes?"

Steven stopped walking, thinking for a moment.

"Come," he answered later.

"What would you like to bring?"

"Anyday only 3 stels of formal clothes and casual clothes as well."

"Yes, it's."

Out of the bathroom, Steven doesn't see Sheila on the walk in closet anymore. But he saw his little suitcase on the table. He got closer and opened it. A little surprised because it turns out what Sheila prepared according to what she needed later. A smile on his lips.

Sheila sat on the edge of the bed waiting for Steven. After seeing her husband come out she approached him.

"Mas, we pray Isya' congregation," Sheila invited ventured.

"You go first" Steven replied after a moment of silence.

"Why Mas? These three days every time I pray with Mas always refuse."

Steven was silent for a long time. Thought glaring. He is not yet sure of himself, can he be a prayer priest for Sheila?

As if she could read her husband's thoughts, Sheila smiled gently. "Never be afraid of anything uncertain."

Steven was shocked by Sheila's words. He saw his wife's clear eyes.

"No man is perfect in this world. I am still studying, too. Never feel inferior. We learn together, Mas. I take ablution first, we pray congregation yes Mas."

Steven was silent and did not answer. Sheila went into the bathroom and cursed. Out of the bathroom he saw Steven still standing in his place earlier.

"Mas wudhu first yes, let me prepare everything," Sheila said with a gentle smile.

I don't know why Steven's been following. He then went into the bathroom and cursed. When she finished, she came out of the bathroom. Sheila was waiting for him. In a white face, the beautiful face smiled gently, making Steven's heart warm.

"I'm afraid you're disappointed."

"Why should I be disappointed?"

"I may not be a good priest to you yet."

Sheila smiled softly.

"We learn together, Mas, to be better. Bismillah Mas."

Steven breathed slowly. Speak the intention in the heart. "Bismillaah hirrohaan nirrohiim. Alloohu akbar," raised hand do imhram's impeachment.

Behind her Sheila followed with reverence. Tonight for the first time they both prayed together. Sheila deliberately did not pray Isya' first and waited for Steven to go home first.

Steven's voice chanting the verses of the Qur'an turned out to be quite melodious, making Sheila's heart tremble. After Sheila's greeting inched forward, took her husband's right hand and kissed him with reverence.

There was a warm feeling flowing all over Steven's body getting such treatment from Sheila. His heart was beating faster, a foreign feeling he felt in his heart. I don't know what it is. Never before has Steven felt so exalted, respected, and given this kind of attention.

While Sheila, she tries to do her role as a wife well. Somehow in the future this married life, but for him now he just has to live it as well as possible. Maybe he had an agreement with Steven about this marriage. Can we not lie to God? Sheila just does not want to sin, which may also be borne by her parents who have died.
