S.H.E (Women I've Purchased)
#46
Lucy arrives home but does not find Andre there. He looks for a man who always observes him at all times. Lucy tries to search the entire room but does not find Andre. Lucy sat on the sofa and turned on the TV, she looked a little tired after walking with her best friend.
"Hey, you've been home a long time?" greet Andre suddenly surprised the dreamy Lucy.
"Ah, um I just got home. Where are you from? I searched all the rooms but I couldn't find you." Lucy said curiously.
"I'm in the study, why don't you call me if you don't find me everywhere" Andre said, sitting next to Lucy.
"Owh yeah, I forgot about that. Is your job much? You're still working on holidays like this." Lucy asked seriously.
"I have to finish the work that was delayed yesterday because of your father" Andre said.
"Yes, you even postponed the meeting because of that. It sucks." said Lucy upset.
Suddenly Andre rests his head on Lucy's shoulder and makes Lucy surprised. Not like Andre usually acts like this.
"Ahhh I'm really tired today" said Andre with a heavy breath.
"Is that how much your job is?" ask Lucy seriously.
Lucy justifies Andre's head and lays it on his lap. Lucy pinched the temple and Andre's forehead gently.
"Does this make you more comfortable?" lucy asked with a sweet smile.
"Yes, this calms me down a lot. I can't believe you could do something like this." Andre said, looking down at Lucy's face.
"First, mom always did this to me when I got a lot of homework and it was hard to do" Lucy said.
"Your mother must have been a very gentle woman, too bad she couldn't see him sooner" Andre said.
"Yes, my mother is the best woman I've ever met" Lucy said.
Lucy continued to massage Andre's head with her wiggly finger. Because of getting a massage from Lucy, Andre also fell asleep on Lucy's lap.
"Hey, are you asleep?" ask Lucy to make sure.
However, there was no reply from Andre and it proved that he had fallen asleep. Lucy slowly raised Andre's head and placed it on the sofa cushion.
"I'm going to prepare dinner for you, you've been working hard today" Lucy said as she kissed Andre on the forehead.
Lucy immediately stepped into the kitchen and checked the refrigerator which was filled with food. I don't know when Andre filled the refrigerator, but he believes Andre has told his assistant to do it all. With agility Lucy begins cooking for her lover.

The day has shown at 18:15 but Andre has not yet woke up from his sleep, probably because a lot of work drains all his energy and makes him less rest. Lucy also tried to wake him because usually Andre will do maghrib prayer.
"Hey, I'm awake. It's six in the afternoon, aren't you praying?" ask Lucy gently.
"I'll wake up, thanks for waking me up. Did I trouble you during your sleep?" asked Andre with a loving look.
"No, take a shower and pray. I've prepared dinner." Lucy said with a smile.
Andre got up from the sofa and walked to the bathroom to clean himself and carry out his duties as a Muslim. After finishing everything, he walked towards the kitchen and saw Lucy who was already sitting at the dining table waiting for him.
"Why don't you eat first? You'll starve to death if you wait for me to finish" Andre said, sitting in front of Lucy.
"I was waiting for you while reading a book" Lucy said, pointing out a book.
"Books? What are you reading about?" andre looked at the book.
Andre stared at the book cover while frowning his forehead. "Muslim woman" the title of the book was read by Lucy and made Andre confused.
"Why are you reading a book like this?" asked Andre curiously.
"Let's know, I've been curious about it ever since I read your holy book. I think I want to know a lot about it all" said Lucy gave a plate she had filled with rice to Andre.
"You can ask me what I don't understand" Andre smiled.
I don't know what feelings are now enveloping Andre's heart, but he was a little relieved because there is no need to bother asking Lucy to understand his religion. Lucy is truly an insightful woman and will examine everything she learns.
"It seems like tomorrow I'm going home to my apartment" Lucy said suddenly.
Andre stopped eating and looked at Lucy's face, focused on eating her food.
"Why do you suddenly want to go back there?" ask Andre.
"I'm sure you won't bother me anymore and too long here isn't good, is it? I read in the book, if women and men who have no marriage bond are not allowed to stay at home" Lucy said seriously.
Andre nodded and smiled at Lucy's words. He didn't expect Lucy to learn it all so quickly and understand it. Because usually the life of unmarried lovers in one house is considered normal in this city.
"I'll drive you tomorrow. Lucy, why did you learn all this?" andre asked seriously.
"I told you, didn't I? I was curious and I wanted to learn it myself. Because my own will is all. Wh why? Is that wrong?" ask Lucy.
"No, I'm just curious." said Andre.
"Don't tell me you think I learned this because of you?" guess Lucy.
Andre just shook his head and smiled. Although in his heart was terbesit about it, but thank goodness if Lucy wanted to learn because of her own will.
Lucy just shut up and continued eating. Honestly, he was initially interested in Muslims because of Andre's treatment which was very caring and always polite. But the closer he got to Andre, he understood that Andre was not only polite and friendly to himself but to everyone. No matter if it was older or easier even at the same age as him, Andre was a figure he admired. Including in this, from the beginning he and Andre were dating, he never asked or forced Lucy to follow his teachings. Andre even always reminds Lucy to always worship and pray at all times so that all the journey of her life is smooth and blessed.
