My Husband's Inner Wish

chapter 17

Kayla looked at the minimalist home as soon as she got off her bike after work. Today Kayla did come home late due to an urgent situation at the installation.

Some days, Kayla did ask permission for her husband to bring his own motorbike. Avan immediately agreed, but he still continues to monitor Kayla, because it does not want bad things to happen to the wife.

Kayla took off her helmet and looked at the clock that was coiled around her arm. The time is eight o'clock at night, and the house is still dark. Kayla wondered what was going on. She believes that her husband must have come home to just turn on the lights even though his work was not finished.

There was guilt in Kayla's heart. All this time it has been in a concern between the husband or love from the past. Moreover, after the departure of her mother and father, Kayla just kept pondering about her heart. A heart that cannot lie who it belongs to.

Kayla stepped foot onto the still dark terrace. Take the key inside his shoulder bag, then put it into the keyhole twisting twice. Kayla pulls the key in her hand and puts it in her bag. Avan's wife pushed the door open. The room felt very dark because there was no lighting at all.

Kayla stepped up and said her greetings, Kayla's hand touching the wall on the side of the door and turning on the lights. Kayla was aghast to see Avan sitting on the living room sofa staring at her with an inexplicable look.

"Wa'alaikum salam" said Avan standing up.

"Dark-eight, my boy?" Kayla asked nervously.

"Waiting for you."

"Want to hang out with Ila?"

Avan carved a smile on his face. "Wand first, prepare warm water. Also a change of clothes for you."

Kayla was stunned, feeling very astonished. Indeed usually Avan noticed himself, giving a lot to him. Until slowly his heart opened, although he himself was not sure who the occupant of his heart was now. Is it still Raize who reigns, or change Avan king. Kayla doesn't know, the two men have been worrying her lately.

"Mas, it's not usual to make clothes for Ila."

Avan's lips curled upwards forming a smile. "It's a special night. Clean yourself up, your body must be sticky." Avan pushed Kayla's back slowly to the front of the bathroom door.

Kayla looked at Avan feeling confused and clueless. The long-haired man smiled, as his hands defied Kayla's bag. Doubtful, but Kayla still complied and closed the bathroom door. Sure enough, inside the bathroom, there was a large tub of warm water sprinkled with rose petals for Kayla to soak in. Kayla can even smell a soothing and fresh scent in the room. Kayla smiled, Avan can always make her feel like a queen.

After finishing with the ritual bath, Kayla wears the clothes that Avan has prepared. The sleeveless green stacked shirt fit perfectly on Kayla's body. As soon as Kayla opened the door, she immediately got a welcome from Avan who brought a bouquet of red flowers for her.

"thank you" said Kayla to receive flowers from her husband. Bringing the flower closer in the broom and inhaling its aroma.

"You've prepared dinner."

Kayla was still a little in her astonishment, but, she still tried to follow the steps of the man who was now holding his hand gently towards the living room.

In the room that looks dim because of the absence of lighting other than a few candles and tumbler lights in every corner of the family room that is in magic is very romantic. Kayla looked at Avan's faithful face holding her. It was Avan who led him to sit at a table full of food and cake for a pair of men and women who were holding hands.

"What's this, ma'am?" ask Kayla who is no longer able to withstand her curiosity and confusion.

"Happy anniversary, my wife."

As if understanding the meaning of Kayla's gaze. Avan opened his voice as his hand lit the candle in front of the cake of a pair of men and women.

"I'm very worried that I can't celebrate our anniversary. Therefore, I'm advancing so tonight." said Avan smilingly looking at Kayla.

"Let's blow out the candle" said Avan again sitting a little closer to his wife. Looking at Kayla's face for a moment still tight-lipped. Then change to look at the flame of the candle that is swaying."One, two, three."

Avan started blowing out the candles, seeing her husband, Kayla did the same. The candle goes out, the family room becomes more and more dim. Avan clapped his hand. And the other lights also turn on even though it is not so bright.

"Why do you think we're not going to see our anniversary together?"

Avan did not answer, the man actually cut a cake berbentung a couple right in his second hand that is linked. Leave one part to Kayla, and the male part to herself.

"Eat."

Avan picked up the high-legged glass, lifting it slightly closer to Kayla. Kayla understood, her husband wanted to take a drink. Kayla also took a glass and touched her glass with Avan glass, to cause the sound of the glass clashing.

Kayla drinks it, and so does Avan.

"This is all, the cooking mas. Ila said, the most delicious cooking is not it? Therefore, I want to make you something special." Avan took Kayla's plate to fill it with rice grains. However, Kayla quickly took over the centongs and dishes.

"This is Ila mas's job."

Avan smiled, and let Kayla do it."Your job is to obey your husband, La."

"And Ila wants to serve mas tonight, because mas has given a lot to Ila. Can you?"

Avan pulled the corner of his lips upwards until it bent a smile.

That night, Avan and Kayla enjoy their delicious and romantic dinner. Until after dinner, and they just sit together while drinking lemon juice. Avan looked at the pair of cakes on the table that they had not had time to eat.

"Ila, this cake is like the two of us. The ones who were together first separated."

Kayla's face changed, she turned to look at her husband quickly and with a clueless look demanded an explanation.

"Mas loves you, La. But, mas can't make you happy, mas can't make you turn to mas. You can't fall in love like you said before. I'm sorry, I'm too helpless with the sturdiness of your heart." Said Avan staring at the bead of Kayla's eyes which was also staring at him.

"Love you two is too strong for you to stand as a wall of separation."
