Adzan's app on Sheila's phone rang that morning. Slowly, Sheila opened her eyes. A little surprised, it turns out that all night she fell asleep in Steven's arms her husband.
"Mas, wake. Subuhan used to yuk," Sheila said as she held onto Steven's arm.
"Hm... Is that adzan?" steven asked, starting to wake up.
"Udah. Fajr prayers first yuk!"
Steven nodded. They both got up and sat down.
"Do you want to be helped to the bathroom?" ask Steven.
"Not for mas. I can do it myself."
"Slow down" Steven warned.
Sheila smiled as she nodded. Sheila then got off the bed slowly and headed for the bathroom. Sheila finished ablution Steven's turn to go into the bathroom. Sheila prepares the need for prayer.
After Steven returned from the bathroom they both then prayed together at dawn. Finish the prayer as usual Sheila kisses Steven's hand.
"I cooked for breakfast first mas," Sheila said.
"No, you take a shower. Bik Lastri bertar again must come. Danny said he told me to come in the morning. There were some clothes in the closet, Siti ma'am who was waiting yesterday."
Sheila was silent for a moment, but eventually obeyed Steven's words. Finish Sheila shower Steven change the bandage on Sheila's arm and forehead, as well as apply the ointment to the corner of the injured lip.
"I can myself mas," Sheila refused subtly.
"Let me" said Steven, continuing his activities.
Sheila's heart was racing as Steven applied the ointment on the corner of her lips. Steven's face that was so close to hers made Sheila even more nervous. Sheila could feel the warmth of Steven's breath hitting her face, making her heart beat irregularly.
I don't know what Steven had in mind, seeing Sheila's red lips from such a close distance made his heartbeat crazy as well. Thin lips without a lipstick polish that actually looks very tempting, as if inviting him to feel the softness of the ranum lips.
And suddenly without him knowing Steven had put their lips together. At first it was just sticking, but then Steven softly poked Sheila's lips. Feel the soft and warm lips that chewy. Sheila was so shocked that she widened her eyes. This was his first kiss.
Like being exposed to an electric shock with low voltage. Sheila felt tremors all over her body, her heart as if it was breaking through her chest cavity, a foreign wind flowing through her blood stream.
Tok to tok.
The linkage of the lips came off instantly.
"Den, breakfast is ready" exclaimed Bik Lastri from the door.
"Yes Bik, we'll be out soon" Steven replied from the inside.
After Bik Lastri left Steven turned to Sheila who seemed still surprised and set his breath. Guilt immediately whacked Steven. How could he have gotten out of control like that.
"Sorry Sheila, I was..." Steven was unable to continue his words. Sighing coarsely Steven then said, "Go out first, I'll take a shower first."
Unable to answer as she was still in shock Sheila could only nod.
Steven then went into the bathroom. Sheila held her chest with both hands. Trying to regulate his breathing and neutralize his heartbeat. After making sure her appearance was ordinary, not looking nervous anymore, Sheila then walked out of the room.
Breakfast was in silence. Bik Lastri was cleaning their room. Sheila looked at Steven who seemed to have no appetite for food. The food on his plate was still half but Steven had finished his breakfast, put down the spoon and wiped his lips.
"Wouldn't eat it?"
"It's not as good as your cooking" Steven replied to the point.
Though actually he just wanted to divert the awkwardness that happened because of their kiss earlier. Honestly Steven himself was confused with himself, why could he suddenly kiss Sheila like that.
Sheila was shocked to hear Steven's reply. Didn't expect her husband to like her cooking.
"Cepet healed dong, so I can masakin me again. I also want to eat chocolate cake made by you."
'Heu, back to me-you again. Means semalem calling himself mas it's not conscious times yes," Sheila's mind just everywhere.
"Yes, it's noon so I'll cook ya," said Sheila immediately mastered herself.
"Don't, you haven't healed yet. Just rest first, let's just recover," said Steven firmly do not want to be denied.
"Yes, um."
Steven didn't go to the office today. Lusia, Dyah and Tya come to visit Sheila. They were talking in the living room.
"Thank God you're not pa-pa Shei" Dyah said.
"Yes, we panicked yesterday" continued Tya.
"Oh my goodness Shei, you get the wounds of kayak gini, biad*b really the Alex," said Lucia.
"Have it been, I don't have it."
They talk about a lot of things. A little later Ken and Danny came along.
"How are you doing Shei?" ask Ken.
"I didn't pay Ken, thanks for coming."
"Steven where's Shei? There are some files he needs to sign" asked Danny.
"In Dan's den, you're going straight in."
"Okay, we go first."
A moment later Steven's phone lying on the table rang. At first glance Sheila saw, Nila who called. Steven was taking drinking water in the fridge.
"Mas, hp you sound."
"Yes just a little shit."
Steven was a little surprised when he found out that Nila called him.
"I picked up the phone first yeah," she said a little awkwardly.
Sheila nodded. Steven walked to the balcony.
"Hello" said Steven.
"I'm glad I came back from Aussie. We meet yuk," pinta Nila in a spoiled tone.
"It's like I can't right now, baby" Steven refused subtly.
"Dear, you are so. You don't miss me, do you? Or maybe you're alone again with that cheap woman?"
Steven's heart was like pinched hearing Nila call Sheila a cheap woman.
"It's not so, baby, I'm just doing a lot of work."
"liks. You just lied to me, right? You don't love me anymore, do you?" nila's sulking is getting spoiled.
Steven breathed a rough breath. "Where do you want to meet?"
"I'm waiting at mall X. I want to buy a bag, yesterday there is the latest output model is very beautiful I like. You want to buy me?"
"Yes. Wait there, yeah, I'll."
After turning off the phone, Steven went back inside. A little dilemma with his own thoughts. Sheila was sick and Steven couldn't bear to leave her alone. But Nila, who had just returned from Australia, finished the photo shoot asking to meet.
Steven's conversation was quite heard by Sheila, so Sheila understood what happened. Realizing the anxiety Steven was feeling, Sheila tried to come up with a solution.
"If you want to go, I don't have to be left alone. I'm better, gold," Sheila said with a smile, trying to convince.
"Aren't you pa-pa if I stay?"
"I'm not a kid anymore. Just calm down."
With a heavy heart Steven finally left Sheila alone in the apartment and met Nila. Bik Lastri was ready to go home shortly after his friends came home earlier.
"If there's anything, call me right away" Steven said before leaving.
"Yes, um."
After Steven left Sheila pensively on the sofa. He himself asked Steven to go see Nila. But somehow his chest feels tight. There was a hint of pain and unwillingness in his heart.
Tok to tok.
The apartment door that was knocked from the outside blew Sheila's daydream. Hurry up to open that door.
"Lussia? Danny?"
It was Lucia and Danny who came back. Then they go inside.
"Steven where was Shei going?" danny asked after sitting on the couch.
Sheila fell silent, confused as to what to answer.
"That's... There was a call from.." Sheila could not continue.
"It's definitely Nila, right?" guess Danny.
Sheila was silent and did not answer. The shortness came back. It did not feel like her eyes were red withholding tears.
"So really Steven went to see Nila?" ask Danny again.
"Yes" Sheila replied weakly.
"Why is Lo biarin Shei?" asked Lucia who was sitting beside Sheila emotionlessly.
"I have no right to deny Lus. I am Steven's girlfriend."
"But Lo's wife Shei, his wife. You have every right to forbid him to meet another girl."
"Lus, I've told you, this marriage is just-"
"Well, could you lie to God?" cut Lusia fast.
Sheila fell silent. Unknowingly tears were already flowing down her cheeks. Lucia immediately hugged him.
"I told him to go myself. But why is my heart so bad Lus? I don't want to believe it. I don't want to be lulled into this comfort, Lus," Sheila said softly amid her cries.
"Patience Shei, God must have a wonderful plan for Lo behind all this."
Danny clenched both his hands tightly. I think he wants to bring Steven home right now. He wondered how his best friend could waste a woman as good as Sheila.
Danny and Lusia accidentally returned to Steven's apartment because it turned out that Lusia's mobile phone was left behind. Lusia charge his phone earlier so he can forget. And when they got to the parking lot they saw Steven driving alone.
