Behind the desk

Niken came out of the room past Alvin.

Alvin remained silent. Move towards the lecturer's special table. Standing in front of him, he said, "You can get out!"

Not long after his wife came out without showing her face. The crazy decision that Rina made was indeed a huge mistake.

"Wait for me at home!" Alvin turned body. Seems angry.

Lina did not discuss anything about what she heard. Find the right time so that everything can be discussed in a cold head.

###

Alvin salat Magrib on the road. Not yet home, Azan Magrib has reverberated. It is definitely better to pull over to the nearest mosque. After that he went home. Arriving there, Alvin parked the car to the garage.

"Assalamualaikum," said Alvin as he entered the house.

"Wa'alaikum greetings," replied Rina who was waiting.

The two stood by the door looking at each other.

"I take a shower first. We'll talk after that" Alvin said.

"Yes." Yeah." Just the short answer that Rina gave to Alvin.

Alvin's moving inside. Lina herself felt a different aura from her husband's body. As if another figure is replacing Alvin at this time.

This house might be quiet because there's no Dani. However, the atmosphere turned tense applicable to tonight. It all happened because of that incident.

Rina followed Alvin to the room. Prepare her husband's nightgown and wait for Alvin to come out. Not only that, women who now do not wear the hijab also make warm sweet tea to the kitchen.

The cold tonight is bone-chilling. The air can even kill someone. Dangerous.

A glass of warm sweet tea came about five minutes later. When Rina returned to the room, Alvin was already wearing clothes. The woman approached. "Drink the warm sweet tea, Mas. The air is cold."

"Mas, want to eat first?" ask Rina.

The glass was still in Alvin's hands. The man's gaze was fixed on Rina. "Aren't you going to ask me about that?"

Rina hush.

"You're waiting under the table on purpose because you want to know, right?" Alvin continues to launch questions.

Lina's gaze was calm. "It certainly does, but I don't think Mas Alvin is ready. Maybe the story is more interesting if heard when Mas Alvin's heart is really ready."

Rina's answer touched Alvin's heart.

"You sure?" Alvin wants to make sure.

Rina's forehead was pucker. "What makes me not sure? Alvin is my husband. So ... I have to wait patiently or maybe not need to find out. The past is past."

"We're not kidding anymore." Alvin doesn't like it.

"Well, we're not kidding anymore, Mom."

Alvin's straight view sharply disarms Rina. The sweet woman's eyes were full of mystery. There hide a lot of things that are even hard to guess.

Lina laughed a little. "Don't tense, Mas. This is no longer a trial." His face was filled with smiles as if there were no burdens. "I'm in the kitchen for a second, yeah. Want to ngangetin side dishes."

Rina turned body. He swung both of his footsteps forward. The smile was gone, a moment came.

Suddenly Rina stopped just two meters from the front of Alvin. "Oh, yes, Mas. Niken is beautiful, huh? Good too. I know from some friends that she has a twin. He said no less beautiful. So I want to see."

Alvin silence. Rina is smart to process sentences to be more interesting, although simple.

"Some have seen as well," added Rina with a small smile.
