Sense of Sense

Suddenly Became Silent

Since their car left the area of Adi Sumarmo Airport, after previously stopping by briefly at SPBU, Ashqar and Rafa who sat in the middle of the unrelenting exchange of glances. They believe that shortly before take-off no problems occurred or when they approached the car parked among the other cars, Zain and Alvin even seemed to welcome their return.

Also after exchanging greetings, greetings and some classic questions, the two of them felt that nothing was wrong. However, still, the two had absolutely no clue to Safira's awkward silence. Safira is definitely not as chatty as usual.

Ashqar and Rafa are not the only ones who realize that. Alvin who was sitting in the back seat with Zain who had fallen asleep suddenly said, “Sick?”

“Hah?” Safira jerks. The woman's mind was clearly wandering somewhere. He blinked a few times then glanced at Alvin from the middle rearview. “Ngak, Mas.”

“Kok, got it?”

Safira forced a smile on her face. He did not dwell under the sharp glances of Alvin who looked at him curiously. Although the child's expression was indifferent and his face was turned on the car glass, but Safira could still see the reflection of Alvin's eyes were looking at him.

“Mamah is just sleepy, Mas.”

“But earlier papah nawarin―”

“Mas Alvin,” reprimands subtle Ashqar, turns to his eldest son. “Let mamah rest, okay?”

Alvin looked at Ashqar Lamat, there was a clear dissatisfaction on the boy's face. However, Alvin chose to obey his father.

“Mas was nawarin what?” safira asked after a moment of silence.

Ashqar shook his head, a faint smile adorning his handsome face. “Ngak be. Harsha sleeping?” ask Ashqar, divert the conversation. Lucky he succeeded.

Safira looked down, looked at Harsha's cute face that had fallen asleep then turned back to Ashqar and nodded.

“Sini. Let me be the same.” Ashqar reached out and took Harsha away.

“But, Mas―”

“Udah is okay. You just sleep first, later if you want to get to the house I wake up,” sela Ashqar. “I miss Harsha.”

Surprisingly, Sapphira resigned and obeyed Ashqar's speech just like that. Ashqar was confused. The man reflexively glanced at Rafa who was also doing the same. When their gazes met, the two simultaneously raised their shoulders.

Ashqar set foot as light as possible so as not to make a sound, his gaze swept across the room. Harhsa was in the next room, the room that Edi had prepared since before the birth of his little daughter, with the door connected to their room so there was nothing to worry about.

Ashqar's hands stretched out and touched Safira's tiny open shoulders. “Honey,” call it soft, pull softly Safira shoulder to face towards it.

And how shocked Ashqar was when he caught a tear on Safira's cheek that she was trying to hide.

“Darling, you why?” Ashqar pulled Safira's chin. Ashqar's heart seemed to stop beating for a while once their gazes met. Sapphira's eyes are teary and her nose is flushed. “Honey, what's up?”

Instead of answering, Safira chose to bow her face and hide the teardrops that were still flowing from her bead. Ashqar could see his wife's shoulders trembling. He was very sure that Sapphira was holding back tears. So without asking anything more Ashqar immediately pulled Safira's body into his embrace, clutching his wife's tiny body tightly.

Ashqar's warm body wraps around Safira in the right way, providing a sense of security and comfort that he has longed for in recent days. Until one sob escaped his lips and followed by other sobs. In the end Safira's defenses collapsed as well.

One minute passed into three minutes, then went to the next minutes until without feeling they spent more time hugging. Ashqar became the first to give distance, peering at Safira who looked calmer than before.

“Honey,” call it soft. “You want a story?”

However, Sapphira was still silent.

“Does this have anything to do with gossip? Are there any strangers bothering you?” Ashqar was increasingly confused when Safira felt at home to linger with his silence. One thing happened to Ashqar. “Is anyone bothering the kids?”
