Love Wrapped Nista

Miss you

Ken can't sleep tonight, his mind thinks of Zahra who's not at his side. The clock was showing at 00:02 in the morning but Ken's eyes seemed fresh and could not be closed.

Ken grabbed the phone on the nightstand, rocking it. Then he hit the number 1, a quick call to the wife's number.

Ken thought the call would be rejected or ignored because perhaps Zahra had fallen asleep, in fact, was immediately answered in the second tone.

"Hallo, Assalamu'alaikum ..."

How pleased Ken was to hear his wife's distinctive voice. "Wa ... Wa'alaikumsalam," he said suddenly nervous.

"What's wrong?" Zahra's voice sounded cold, but Ken was already happy enough that Zahra was still willing to accept his call.

"What's up, Ken? Go to sleep, it's late." Zahra spoke again because Ken still did not understand his words.

"I-I can't sleep" Ken finally said. Ken thinks Zahra will tell him to sleep and just disconnect the call, in fact he was wrong.

"I'm sleepy, Ken. But I can't sleep either" Zahra said in a choked-up voice.

"Why, Honey? Are you still thinking--"

"I miss you, Ken!" lirih Zahra cuts off Ken's speech.

"Darling, I miss you too! Very kangen. We haven't even been apart for a day, but I. huh! I can't sleep because you're not beside me."

There was a sound of sobbing from across there, either the soul of the sensi Zahra crumpled again or indeed she was as sad as that because it was far from the husband.

"Honey, shhh.. Don't cry, I'll pick you up now, yeah!"

"It's late, get some sleep, Ken!"

"I told you I can't sleep, honey...." Apparently Ken had tears in his eyes, why was he this dramatic when he was away from his wife?

"Ken, we better not meet first. Solve your problems and you pick me up here" said Zahra.

"Darling...." Ken spoke in a groggy tone.

"I'm sleepy, Ken. We better try to sleep" Zahra said from across the call.

"I know you're not going to sleep, you can't sleep if my stomach isn't up yet. I'll pick you up now!"

"No, Ken!"

"Darling, don't you want to accompany me through this matter? You really want to let me face it myself?" ask Ken in despair.

"Bu-not that, Ken. I just .. Give you time."

"Time? Time for what?"

"Time for you to choose, me or ... Jenar," said Zahra sobbing.

"You digress, honey. I'm not going to vote because none of this is an option. You and our son are my priority, not just my choice!" firmly Ken.

"But she's also pregnant with your child, Ken..."

"Darling, you have to believe that it's not my son! I know and I'm sure, honey. My child, only what is in your womb. Point!"

Ken could not stand it anymore, finally he cut off his call on the side. He got up from his position, picked up the car keys and then moved towards the garage.

It didn't take long, Ken was behind the wheel and left his residence that late night.

"Ken..." said Zahra as she stared at the pushy wallpaper of her mobile phone featuring the wedding photos of the two of them. In the photo Ken is peeping his forehead with the most shady expression.

Zahra stroked her stomach which had been feeling turbulent since. From the afternoon he experienced nausea extraordinary, even though during this pregnancy he rarely experienced vomiting even morning sickness never.

Zahra ran towards the bathroom door and spewed out all the food that had entered her stomach.

It seems not only he who can not be far from Ken, but the baby in the womb also protested because of this.

After vomiting several times, Zahra was sitting limp on the floor, he leaned near the feet of the ranjangg, while resting his head with both hands.

"Astagfirullahhal'azim..." Several times his lips spoke Istighfar. He recalled Ken's words before his phone call was cut off.

As Ken said, Zahra should not have allowed Ken to face all these problems alone, she as a wife should have kept Ken company. For better or worse Ken's past, it must be accepted when he is officially the wife of the man.

His departure will only make things worse. It should have strengthened Ken in this situation, not left him in a crunch. Ken needs his support. Even if Ken was wrong, but this mistake still happened in the man, not because Ken deliberately betrayed him after they were married.

Zahra cried in tears, knowing she had made the wrong decision to dodge and leave from Ken's side.

Zahra felt that her body was getting weaker now due to running out of energy due to having vomited several times earlier, but at times like this she actually felt more and more yearning for Ken to be by her side.

In his weakened state, he fantasizes Ken came to him who was sitting on the floor. The man gave a small smile, knelt before him, humbled himself in front of him and fondly stroked his hair.

"Ken, I miss you. I can't get away from you" she cried, even feeling that Ken was hugging her now and it felt very comfortable.

His delusion was indeed too insolent because it expected Ken to be by his side now-dissolved nights like this.

"I shouldn't have left, Ken. If I stay home now I'm sleeping in your arms" said Zahra sobbing, she felt even more that Ken's fingers on her head felt very real.

Zahra also tried to hold Ken's fingers, sure the fingers felt real, even the size of his fingers felt exactly the same as he had been holding.

"Is this real? It turned out that I really missed him a lot, "inner Zahra was speechless.

Zahra tries to dismiss her delusion about Ken. He shuffled and moved to release the embrace in his body which he felt as a form of expectation in himself, in fact the embrace was getting tighter and he could not let go, he could not let go, it was as if his body was completely embraced by Ken and Ken was unwilling to let go. At the same time, he heard the voice of the man he missed and it made everything feel even more very real.

"If you're so good without me, why should you leave me, hmm?"

Even the voice of the man in his delusion was exactly like the real Ken.

With a slow but determined movement, Zahra pushed something that felt squeezing him, something that he felt as the chest of Ken's field. The movement managed to make him escape from the embrace of the shadow of Ken who had been locked in a crib. Then, Zahra complained and found her imaginary figure smiling gently. Their eyes clashed and stared at each other. Zahra also dissolved in that gaze.

"Ken.." said Zahra who felt his delusion seemed real, but what he saw now was real Ken. Ken has arrived at Rasta's house since a few minutes ago, he entered Zahra's room after being informed by Rasta.

"Hmm" said Ken who finally muttered softly.

"Ah, I fantasize you're here, apparently," murmured Zahra. The woman also shuffled, then began to climb up the stairs with lethargic steps. While Ken smelled a smile at the behavior of his wife.

Ken followed Zahra and joined in the same blanket, hugging Zahra's body from behind.

Zahra felt Ken's grip on her body.

"It seems like I'm starting to go insane because of the same man" Zahra and Ken muttered softly hearing him.

"I'm here, honey. You are not fantasizing. Sleep well," Ken's mind pleased, he changed position to be able to caress and stroke the beautiful face of his wife. Sometimes he kisses chubby Zahra cheeks like his habit every day. Zahra seemed comfortable with Ken's treatment, which she felt was a delusion, but gradually she began to get sleepy.

"I love you, Han! Until whenever I won't let anyone ruin our relationship, I'll take care of this. I'll investigate everything and I'll prove that the child in Jenar's womb is not my flesh and blood!" ken's determination was in his heart while looking at Zahra's face that had fallen asleep in his arms.
