"Assalamualaikum" said Adnan had just entered the kitchen where Nirmala was busy cooking.
Nirmala turned towards the source of the voice where Adnan was walking towards her. "Where to the morning, ma'am?" She asked because it was over from the mosque, her husband left again in the morning.
"Walk around the football field where the MTQ event was yesterday," Adnan replied and then kissed Aisyah's cheek. "What are you cooking?" Further again.
Nirmala tried her usual course even though her cheeks felt hot after getting a kiss from Adnan on her cheeks. "I cook the green chili pepper, mas."
Adnan just kept quiet and went into the bathroom. Nirmala saw it immediately move the dishes into the container then rushed to the room to provide a change of clothes for her husband.
After that Nirmala arranged the food menu on a small table that was always used to eat together. Sometimes eating on the floor mats only.
One thing that makes Nirmala moody from earlier is that Adnan will return to East Java tonight. She kept from crying in front of her husband.
"Honey," call Adnan open the bathroom door a little.
"Yes, my mom." Sahut Nirmala approaches the bathroom door.
"Hand, deck."
"Oh, yes. Bentar mas." Nirmala came out through the back door in the kitchen, taking the towel she had dried with her other clothes.
"Here, mas."
"Thank you, baby."
In fact, Adnan also felt sad to have to leave Nirmala alone. Moreover, they have just married, the sweet life of the two is still very thick felt.
Adnan came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.
Adnan just nodded and rushed into the room wearing the clothes Nirmala had provided. He also saw his clothes had been neatly in the suitcase, just not closed.
Adnan exited the room back to the kitchen. He hugged Nirmala from behind tightly and did not want to be taken off.
"They're about to miss" Adnan said. Nirmala turned back and immediately embraced Adnan no less tightly as well.
"Same. I must have missed the same. Moreover, the same habit of putting a towel on the bed," said Nirmala after knowing the habits of Adnan. Adnan was not angry, he laughed. Moreover, the towel he was wearing earlier was also still on the bed.
"I forgot, baby. Sorry."
****
Nirmala was unable to stem her grief when delivering Adnan at Terminal. From that moment on her husband continued to give her peace so as not to cry anymore. However, instead of stopping, Nirmala's cry grew louder.
"Mas leaving, yeah." Said Adnan slowly while breaking down the hug. He wiped the tears that soaked his wife's cheeks.
Not to forget Adnan gave a kiss on the whole face of Nirmala. "You need to pick you up faster."
Nirmala simply nodded while holding back her cries. He kissed the back of Adnan's hand long enough in harmony with the teardrops that wet the back of Adnan's hand.
"Be careful" said Nirmala after feeling calm. His voice sounded very hoarse.
Nirmala tried to smile as Adnan got into the bus. When the bus was over, Nirmala cried again. He didn't know why it could be this sad. Is Adnan's meek attitude able to make him feel love again?
Or just for a moment?
