Not Love But Married

Stomach Acid

" Ashalamu'alaikum warohmatulohi... ", Rania scooped her face after finishing her dawn prayer greetings which was a little late from her time. His lips whispered softly reciting dhikr as he usually did after obligatory prayer. He closed his eyes, and raised his hands in front of his chest, praying in his heart, I asked the Most Loving and Creator for everything he faced. Putting everything into the decree of the Owner of everything in this world.

One breath won Rania's heart which was still filled with guilt and doubt. Now his task has increased again, as hard and difficult as it was he had to accept the fact that he is now married again. Obligations still have to do although still unable to accept and sincere in doing his new role as the wife of an Arsha Wiguna who also became his own boss in the office. All of this must have been destined for him and his son. Already he should have dared to face a reality that was not in accordance with his expectations all along.

Man may hope with his own life line, but the decree of the Creator of Life will determine the path of life that will be in play later. Stay how each individual will deal with it, remain resigned without trying or trying to change the storyline that has been dreamed to be even more beautiful.

Rania moved from the top of a clean white towel that she used as a prayer mat, well.he was forced to perform the prayer with clothes and makeshift cloth. There was no mucena in this apartment, so he just covered his aura with a bathrobe and borrowed Arsha's hem shirt hanging from the wardrobe. Then walk out of the walk in closet after tidying up everything he wears for prayer.

Arsha wriggled slowly trying to straighten his body that felt sore because he had to sleep on the sofa. Exposing both of his eyes were glare exposed to the sunlight from behind the large window that had already opened his curtain cloth. His right hand is busy looking for a cell phone on the sofa, what time is it now?. She remembered last night only being able to fall asleep after Rania covered her cold body. A smile puffed up in light of the incident, a sufficient start for him. Now he realized that all this must be done slowly and not to force it to make Rania more afraid and depressed to him. He already knows what he will do later and for sure he must be ready and patient enough to face Rania's rejection of him which is far from perfect according to the judgment of a Rania. Well, after thinking about where Rania might want to be with someone like her who never prayed, Rania would dream of having a husband who could be her priest.

Arsha squinted at the phone screen in her right hand, it turned out to be 7 more hours, just deserved the sun out there was bright. Then concentrating her sense of smell that began to smell the aroma of cooking that filled the room, it seemed like Rania was cooking in the kitchen. Arsha smiled at the sound of a spatula clashing with a frying pan from the kitchen, is this what it's like to have a wife?.

" What cooking is Rania? It smelled so good. ", he said he saw Rania who looked busy with a spatula in her hand while going to the bathroom near the kitchen.

" Ahh this sir, I cook for breakfast, but sorry I do not know what sir Arsha usually eat for breakfast, so I process the ingredients in the refrigerator. ", rania replied spontaneously turning her body and was a little surprised because Arsha was now behind her.

" I rarely eat breakfast, but since you've cooked I'll have breakfast this morning. ", Arsha looked at the small towel on Rania's head, then smiled with understanding Rania's behavior that still felt stiff and not completely free when in front of him.

" I'm sorry, I don't know that yet... ".

" No papa, I'll tell you all my habits. ", Rania simply nodded obediently, looking once a guilty expression on her face. Arsha leaves the kitchen to go to the bathroom, preparing for her first breakfast with her wife.

" What is this? ", asked Arsha confused to see the green vegetables on the plate.

" The vegetable mustard pok coy chicken oyster sauce. "

" Ohh... What is this? ", point it at the other plate.

" If it's a milk tofu omelet mixed with cow's cornet. Sorry I really do not know the favorite cuisine of Mr. Arsha. ", said Rania in a soft voice.

" No papa Rania, I'm so glad you're preparing breakfast for me. "

" If you may know, Mr. Arsha used to eat breakfast with anything? ", asked Rania hesitatingly and also curious. Shame also if later at home mama Hanum she did not know had to prepare a breakfast menu for her own husband.

" I usually only drink warm honey just like toasted wheat bread or cream soup. "

" Never had breakfast with rice? ", asked Rania again more curious.

" Not yet, before I went to college abroad, I still have breakfast with rice. But after college until now has never tried it again. "

" What is all, I mean mama and Cantika are also the same, never breakfast with rice? "

" Mama always provides rice for breakfast, Cantika is among those who must eat rice at breakfast. If you usually only drink warm tea, then only breakfast later at 10 am. ", explained Arsha while looking at the curious eyes in front of him.

" Ohh... Then let me just prepare some wheat bread sir. "

" No need for Rania. ", Arsha held Rania's hand which was about to leave the dining table. " From now on I'll try breakfast with rice. I'll just eat your cooking, it seems very tempting. "

" But sir, I'm afraid that Arsha will get a stomachache because he's not used to eating rice. Do not eat if not used to it, I just replace it with the usual menu. "

Arsha stood up then grabbed both of Rania's shoulders, guiding her to return to the seat. " I told you, I'll try. Besides, I used to eat breakfast with rice, so what's the harm in trying it again. Come eat, I'm really hungry. "

Rania thrust a plate that has been filled with a little rice and vegetables and side dishes in front of Arsha. Without a doubt Arsha immediately grabbed the spoon and began to eat Rania's cooking with great enthusiasm. Why is it so happy to get breakfast cooked by his wife?.

" Hhmmmm." how delicious your cooking is. Praise Arsha with her mouth still busy chewing. Rania's cooking turned out to be very good and fit on her tongue, this is not just a compliment so that Rania was happy, but this is really delicious according to her.

" Is it more comfortable with her stomach? ", asked Rania saw Arsha who was still holding her stomach after previously giving warm water so that her stomach pain subsided.

" It's still a little sore, it looks like my stomach acid is rising. "

" I'm sorry.", said Rania slowly, increasingly feeling guilty and sorry for the first day of preparing breakfast but had succeeded in making her husband's stomach hurt.

" No papa Rania, I do often experience abdominal pain like this, later it will also heal itself.", Arsha tried to calm Rania who looks confused and feels guilty to her.

" Do you need to go to the hospital? ", asked Rania worried to see Arsha who was still grimacing in pain while holding her upper abdomen.

" No, Edo has everything ready. "

" Edo?", asked Rania not understand.

" Edo is my garden as well as a family doctor, he used to take care of the family if anyone was sick. "

" I call you dr. Edo let's check Arsha's situation immediately. "

" No Rania, Edo has prepared a cure if my stomach acid relapses. Please just get it in the medicine box, in the closet next to the refrigerator. "

Rania rushes towards the medicine cabinet that Arsha is referring to. It turns out true Arsha's remark, the stomach drug is dilemari drug is very complete. She is a little familiar with the usefulness of drugs for the stomach because of the experience of pregnant Andra in the early months of pregnancy. Rania quickly grabs some medicine and takes it to the living room where Arsha is.

Rania looked at Arsha's pale-looking face withstanding her abdominal pain, her body leaning against the sofa while closing her eyes tightly. " Mr. Arsha.", call Rania in a soft voice. " This is the medicine to drink first. "

Arsha looked at Rania's hand who was holding some gastric medicine for her, then grabbed the syrup medicine in Rania's left hand. " This one, thank you Rania. "

Rania just nodded her head, then grabbed a glass of warm water on the table while waiting for Arsha to finish taking the syrup. She was really worried about her husband's situation, regretting that he had made her own husband have stomach pains.

Arsha smiled looking at the worried look on Rania's face and felt guilty towards her. Then suddenly the intention was to try to prank his wife. " Auwww... ".

" Athaghfirullah..!! Mr Arsha, is it really that sick? We'll go to the hospital, sir. "

Arsha just shook her head to reject Rania's invitation, what would happen if she met Edo in the hospital, would be a mockery for her.

" How do you go, sir?? Or do I rub the oil just to warm his stomach? ".

Arsha looked at the panicked looking Rania, a good idea to also put some wind oil on her stomach. It's Rania's own initiative to touch her, curious also how later Rania touched her for the first time, anyway not her who asked for her, clearly earlier Rania who proposed her own.

" Aahhh, yes, just try to do. ", said Arsha still continue to pretend pain. Actually, his stomach pain has subsided a little, because the syrup medicine is faster how it works.

Rania rushed back to the medicine cabinet, she had seen there was rubbing oil in the closet. With a hasty step back to approach Arsha disofa family. Suddenly doubts arose in Rania's heart, 'what should I apply this oil of wind?', her mind hesitated, it was still very awkward to have to come into direct contact with her own husband. But it's impossible to have Arsha smear her on her own when she's in such pain. " Sorry sir ArSha, ", call Rania in doubt.

" Ahh yes Rania, please dab it here quickly. ", said Arsha as she pulled her shirt up and immediately showed her abdominal muscles to Rania.

Rania was very surprised and spontaneously threw her face to the side. 'Astaghfirullah.. How is this? '. Rania squeezed the bottle of wind oil in her hands while continuing to close her eyes tightly.

" Rania."., call Arsha get impatient, see Rania just stay quiet and even throw their face in front of him. Actually Arsha was eager to laugh seeing the expression on Rania's face at the moment, really very funny to him. Is he really that selugu? Has he never been married before?.

" Give it to me, let me just. ", Arsha long ago felt unbearable to also see Rania as depressed and forced like that.

" I'm sorry, let me just apply it sir".", said Rania Lirih, it's appropriate that he was responsible after successfully making Arsha's stomach hurt. Without waiting for a long time Rania immediately sat beside Arsha then slowly began to pour wind oil over Arsha's open stomach with trembling hands. A little gentle massage hoping to relieve Arsha's stomach pain, as she used to do when Andra had an upset stomach.

Meanwhile, Arsha just kept quiet while closing her eyes tightly, trying to resist the sensation of the touch of Rania's tiny fingers trembling on her stomach. It seems that now he is starting to regret his own idea because he was again exposed to his own trap for the second time to Rania.
