Dinner



"Aggs!"


"Sir Arif, what are you doing here?" vira said in shock, Arif smiled faintly hearing Vira's words.


Vira sits on the edge of the city park. Precisely Vira sat in front of a traveling meatball vendor. Vira felt hungry after walking to find a minimarket. Vira felt tired, after wandering around in an uncertain direction looking for minimarket. Very foreign territory, making Vira difficult to find a minimarket.


Vira is not a dissident person, but sometimes selfishness makes him forget the status inherent in him. Vira deliberately looking for minimarket itself. Because Vira does not want to burden Azzam. Vira could have asked Azzam to buy her the things she needed. But there is a limit Vira asks Azzam for help. There are appropriate and inappropriate words that Vira must take care of.


"What are you doing yourself? I don't think it's time to eat meatballs. Especially for Azzam Atmaja's wife!" arif teases Vira. Suddenly Vira felt guilty.


Arif smiled as he watched Vira. Vira's clumsy attitude had quite answered Arif's suspicions. All this time Arif can understand Vira. Even when there's a sense of Vira for Azzam. Arif knew it easily. A personal Vira who is firm, but closed. He's hard to understand, even though he wants to be understood.


Vira remember the incident of how he got out of the house? Vira realizes she has been wrong to come out without saying goodbye to Azzam. Moreover Vira came out in the middle of the night. Arif sees Vira's body, and soon Arif realizes that Vira came out without Azzam.


"It is not good for a wife to be outside the house without a husband. Moreover, she came out without her husband's permission!" arif said insinuating Vira. As Vira looked up, Arif chuckled to see Vira surprised by her words. What Arif said was true? Vira's attitude is wrong, even though she has her own justification.


Vira stirred the meatballs in her bowl. Why did the appetite disappear? Vira remembered her responsibilities as a wife. Vira neglects his duties and obligations. Just because of an indistinct momentary rage.


"Sir is right. I am not a good wife to Azzam. She should have married a woman better than me. I am a weak woman, but always think strong and able to live alone. Without thinking, we need the help of others. Including my own husband!" sahut Vira lirih, Arif is increasingly convinced of his conjecture.


Arif began to understand the problems that occurred. The adult attitude of Vira who always felt strong. Defeating the fear of leaving Azzam without saying goodbye. Arif understands Vira's spontaneous thinking. Selfish thinking that doesn't care about others. Especially Azzam who was looking for him with anxiety. Surrounding a dark city, hoping to find a figure that disturbs his night.


"Vira, whatever you're doing is wrong. But sometimes your attitude is right, considering your life used to be independent. Living in different phases, it is not as easy as turning the palm of the hand. That's why you still feel capable without Azzam. Although Azzam is actually weak without you!" said Arif, while offering a cup of warm tea.


Arif saw Vira's pale face. Vira's tiny body shivered in coldness. The night wind pierced his bones. Then without Vira realizing it, Arif sent his location to Azzam. So that Azzam could easily find them both. Arif believes Azzam is worried about thinking of Vira who left without saying goodbye.


"My world is so different from her. The life of the Atmaja family heir is hard for me to learn. Instead my world is too gloomy, for Azzam's brother. I don't want to be the reason for his pain, nor do I want to be his burden. I'm a stubborn man. There was only a wound that Azzam's sister felt!" sahut Vira said, Arif shook his head weakly. He believed Azzam was able to become the best priest for Vira.


"Vira, if you believe. Each body is created from a male rib. Then you will believe, if Azzam owns your ribs. Is he rich or poor? Is he sick or healthy? It was all meaningless when you two held hands. Walk together, face the storm that came crashing!" arif said, Vira looked down to understand.


"Learn to surrender and surrender. Believe me, Azzam is able to protect you!' said Arif again, Vira was silent. He tried to digest Arif's words. Vira is still looking for a comfortable point to be in the Atmaja family residence.


Vira is looking for a way to understand her husband's character. Several days Vira became the wife of Azzam. But strangely Vira has not been able to adapt to Azzam. Sometimes Vira is firm on her stance. Forgetting that she is no longer alone, but has become a wife and may become a mother.


"Why?" arif said coldly.


"I'm going home to my old house. It's very late, if I go home to the Atmaja family. Fear will bother them!" sahut Vira, Arif nodded in understanding.


Arif walked away from leaving Vira. Arif wants to wait for Azzam to come. Sitting alone with Vira is not worth it. Remember Vira is no longer alone. Vira has married his cousin Azzam himself. Arif always remembers the boundary between himself and Vira. Arif glanced at Vira. Arif saw Vira devouring meatballs so deliciously.


"Arif, where's Vira?" greet Azzam anxious, Azzam's breath hunting. He drove his car as fast as he could. So that he can see Vira immediately. Arif pointed towards Vira who was sitting quietly. Vira feels very comfortable sitting among people who do not know him.


"Azzam, whatever happens don't ask why Vira came out without saying goodbye. I have reminded him of his mistake. Be patient with Vira, she's in an adjustment period!" arif said, Azam nodded slowly. Then say thank you, for helping and accompanying Vira.


"I know, thanks again!" azzam said, Arif nodded while holding his hand in the air. The sign of Arif received Azzam's thanks.


Azzam walked over to Vira. He saw his little wife devouring a bowl of meatballs. Azzam saw Vira put in too much sambal. I wanted Azzam to forbid, but Azzam remembered Arif's advice. If Vira is still adjusting to Azzam's habits.


"Darling!" greet Azzam, then kiss the top of Vira's head. Azzam vented his anxiety and longing for Vira. Azzam sat right next to Vira.


"Sir Azzam!" vira said in surprise, Azzam blinked his two beautiful eyes. His cue confirms Vira's call. Azzam put a jacket on Vira's body.


"Eat baby, I'll accompany you!" azzam lirih. Vira nodded


"Don't go without saying goodbye to me. I'll drop you off, wherever you want to go? Without you I could be gone, once enough you stay away from me. Never again, not again!" azzam said softly, while fusing his forehead with Vira.


"Sorry!"


"Darling, you're innocent. I can't convince you yet. If I could make you happy!" azzam said firmly, while Vira was silent.


Azzam wiped the remaining meatballs on the tip of Vira's lips. Azzam patiently accompanied Vira, then suddenly without warning. Azzam kissed Vira's lips. Azzam could no longer resist the desire in his heart. Azzam missed Vira a lot.


"Sir Azzam!" shouted Vira lirih.


"Darling, I love you!' greet Azzam weakly.
