My Husband's Inner Wish

chapter 6

The next morning Kayla opened her eyes. His head feels very dizzy. Kayla blinked, then rubbed her eyes. Kayla looked at every corner of the room she woke up in. Yeah, he woke up in his bedroom bed. Kayla tried to recall what happened last night. He was indeed raining and his motorcycle tires deflated. Forced Kayla to walk far enough under the rain. Then the girl was forced to park her motorbike in a twenty-four-hour clinic. From there Kayla tried to order an ojek online, but, her phone died. Kayla just wanted to cry. In the shade, Kayla tried to comb the location with her eyes limited by the heavy rain looking for ojek. Eventually, Kayla decided to return on foot to the house.

Kayla was twitching her forehead which felt like it was throbbing dizzy. Then he tried to recall the incident after he got in front of the house. Recalling Avan's extremely worried face the moment the door opened. Kayla was silent again, there was discomfort considering Avan did not say much and did many things for her. Including when the man helped her undress without scooping the blanket that wrapped her body. The man's hand didn't even steal the chance to touch his body. Kayla buried her face between the palms. I felt so ashamed to remember her helplessness that night.

Kayla's bedroom door was knocked from the outside, then it opened. Avan carved out a smile as he saw Kayla was up and looking at him. The long-haired man walked into his wife's room carrying a tray filled with a bowl of porridge and warm water.

Avan sat on the lip of the bed, then moved the tray to his thigh, scooped the porridge and blew it. Avan tested the heat of the porridge first before feeding it to Kayla.

"Eat first, let you have energy." Avan spoke softly while feeding Kayla.

Kayla looked at Avan while eating the porridge that Avan had fed her, she still felt ashamed if she remembered last night. "Mas, last night..."

"You almost got hypo last night, La. I panicked, so I did what came to my head. Sorry yes." Cut Avan lirih. Feeling a little guilty to his wife for acting out of what Kayla wanted. Avan gets ready if Kayla gets mad at him.

"Thank you, mas."

Avan raised his face looking at Kayla who turned out to be thanking her. Not what he thinks.

"What's going on? Why did you get home shivering?"

Kayla stared in the bead of Avan's eyes which seemed very worried about her, but tried to look flat in front of her. However, Avan's eyes could not lie.

"The bike's flat."

"Continue?" Tucked hope in Avan's heart, Kayla had crossed paths with him. Therefore, Avan tried to catch up.

"I took him to the clinic 24 hours to leave the motorbike. My phone's dead, and there wasn't an ojek last night, mas. Instead of the cold waiting for the rain to subside, I try to get ripped off. Turns out, I'm even bothering mas." I'm Kayla lirih.

Apparently, Avan had only hope. Only hope with him. Even so, Avan still understood, pp Kayla died. If you want to contact her, Kayla won't be able to.

"Uummm, next time, let the anther pick you up?"

"No need, I'll bother."

"Nobody bothers for my wife, La. It's my responsibility now. Ila trusted me on mas. Your health, your clothing and your food, and your happiness. It's my responsibility, La."

Kayla tightens. Is correct. Avan won too well for him, but why is Avan's kindness unable to penetrate Kayla's heart until this moment?

"Yes...." Avan thrust another spoonful of still-warm porridge into Kayla's mouth, his wife smiling bitterly at the good man before her. Then, slowly open your mouth."Where did you leave the bike? Let the mas take it."

"Clinic 24 hours, mas."

"O yes, tomorrow you want to come here. Only four days, take a vacation. So, while you're not making a mess, you're sleeping in the mas room." Pinta Avan, "uh, no need, let the mas who sleep here if you feel uncomfortable sleeping in the mas room."

Kayla nodded slowly, "Who's mother? Do I have to take a leave of absence for my mother here?"

"Father's same. No, La. You will feel awkward if you stay with them too long. It'd be better if you go to work and meet your friends." Avan's advice, which again only thought of Kayla's side.

"But mas, it's not good if I keep working when you come here."

"It's okay, La. They understand. You're a health worker, can't just take time off if it's not urgent."

Kayla opened her mouth wanting to voice her opinion as well, but the ringing of Avan's phone made her speechless as the long-haired man rushed out.

"Let's pick up the phone first."

Outside Kayla's room, Avan pressed the green button and brought the toy closer to her ear.

"Assalamualaikum, Bun."

("Wa'alaikum greetings, Van. We're at the airport. Just landed. Pick it up.")

Avan's eyes widened perfectly. Suddenly, the mother gave the news in the city. Avan hasn't even moved some of her clothes to Kayla's room.

"Mother at the airport?"

("Yes Van. Mother has not been patient to meet with mother's daughter-in-law.") Mother's voice sounded very cheerful and excited over there.("Van?")

"Yes bun, Avan pick you up now."

After closing the phone. Avan returns to Kayla's room, which she did not close properly.

"Ila, mom and dad are at the airport." Avan told his wife.

"Now mas?" Kayla asked in shock.

"Yes, you are at home, mas will order the same children at the restaurant to bring food here. Later you help move it to the buffet container on the top shelf. You are strong, right?"

Kayla nodded.

"Yes, I'm going first." Pamit Avan rushes out with her car to pick up the woman who gave birth to her 28 years ago.

A few hours later, the Avan Car has entered the minimalist home page. Kayla who was standing in front of the terrace immediately welcomed up to the car door. As soon as the mother-in-law set foot in the yard, Kayla immediately kissed the hands of the mother and father alternately.

"Mother, dad, sorry Kayla didn't pick you up..."

"No papa dear, Avan already told me earlier, he said you again ready food for mother and father. That's why I can't come." Cut the mother hugging her daughter-in-law. Kayla looked at Avan confused, she did nothing, just moved as Avan said earlier. But, from the speech of the in-laws as if he was the one who cooked and prepared everything. Avan simply threw a smile at her and nodded faintly. Just so Kayla can say what her mother said.

"Let's go in, mother. Father."

***

"Well, right, you cooked chicken opor." Mother's chirps so see the dining table there is a chicken opor, oseng intestine chili green and tempe and fried tofu as a side dish. Not left behind as a complement plow sambal.

Kayla just looked at Avan, feeling bad because it was like deceiving the mother.

"So on the phone, we did cook, Bun. That's why I'm so surprised, really fit us again cook mother's favorite opor." I'm Avan, looking at Kayla who's taking rice for mom and dad in turn."Eeh, I don't know, Kayla is also an initiative to make intestinal ozeng."

Kayla simply smiled in response, without saying anything.

"Daddy seneng nih, oseng gut." Oceh's Avan's father.

"Will it be a holiday today?"

"Kayla's in the afternoon, Bun." Answer Avan.

"Mother asked Kayla, Van. Not you. How did you even answer that?" Mother's protest glanced resentfully at her son. Kayla just smiled, and chose more silence. Allowing Avan to speak, though lying, yet keeping himself from the bad views of the in-laws.
