Tengil Tuan Tuan Presdir's

Chapter 24. Past Times

The woman cheered loudly when Habibie managed to lure fish with a very large size, he grabbed the fish from Habibie's hands and raised it with both hands. The smile on his lips was wide. He showed the fish to Fawas and Amelia with great pride. In fact, the one who fished the fish was not Kiara, but her husband.

"Kiara's got a big one, Ummi! Abi Fawas lost to Mas Habibie. Ekh, ekh!"

The look on the woman's face suddenly changed when the fish in her grasp continued to move no less than her. Habibie and his parents could only see it from a distance, they were confused about what to do because it was impossible for them to hold the fish.

"Yes ... Ummmiii!"

Byurrr!

The goldfish with a large size was back into the pond.

"Hey!" Habibie screeched, the man's hands stretched out and quickly pulled Kiara's waist, the woman reflexively turned around. Her hands and arms landed perfectly in front of her husband's chest as well as a pair of neutrals staring at each other to dive into each other's gazes.

Fawas and Amelia are mutually awkward, they smile and sneak away from the place. It felt so happy to see Habibie re-hugging women. Yes, because since Aisyah's departure. His first wife Habibie never wanted to be close to any woman. Of course, that made them very afraid. Five-year-old youth without touching women, how could they not worry.

If viewed from a good perspective, maybe Habibie just can't move on. But if it's not good, it could be .. wes naudzubillah.

"We used to think that wasn't it, Bi?"

Amelia asked still with occasional glances towards Kiara and Habibie.

Fawas smiled, if he could be more romantic and could be more patient facing Kiara, maybe they would look like a duplicate of Amelia and Fawas in the past. But, Fawas knew that Habibie still could not accept Kiara with his heart.

"We go in, pray ashar keep cooking for later tonight!"

Amelia nodded too. He did not want to disturb Kiara and Habibie's time. The couple still looked very awkward. So, he did have to give a lot of time for the two in order to get closer.

Kiara again felt that, a heart beat that was not careless, also a gaze that could not be switched from the figure in front of her. Habibi's clear eyes, his field chest, the man's scent, were all complicated for Kiara who had never been this close to any man.

The thing that scared Kiara even more, the heartbeat was accompanied by a strange sigh. His blood was flowing increasingly warm, his breathing was a bit heavy so he reflexively pushed on the man's chest. Kiara. The woman ran away from Habibie and went into the villa.

The man just hung in place, unable to move as well just stared at Kiara's back deeply. His hands were still floating in the air, slowly, his head lowered, staring at the fingers of the fingers that were getting more and more disrespectful. The more often he touches Kiara as if taking advantage of the opportunity when he does not, he just wants to help Kiara who will fall into the fish pond.

....

"Don't crybaby! If you want to eat fish, we can dry the pond! You're free to eat whatever fish you want."

"Abiee~~" Ummi nudged his son's arm. Habibie is not very sensitive. They all knew the reason why Kiara was crying, but why did Habibie even make fun of Kiara like that.

"What Ummi?" Habibie expressed himself as if there was no guilt.

Ummi Amelia grunts. The woman hit Habibie's arm and sat down next to Kiara. "Don't be sad, dear .. papa don't if the fish jump again into the pond, that means, the fish still have age, and for us still not rejoice."

"But Ummi."

"No papa. We're doing all right. Lots of food too. Don't worry. Now eat this alone, not this carrot you just took! It must taste really good."

Smile at the knot on the woman's lips. She received the side dish her in-laws offered and enjoyed it still with tears.

If I'm honest, it wasn't the fish that made Kiara cry, but the bitter memories that happened a dozen years ago. His family, his mother ... Kiara always felt that she was an unlucky child.

....

Heavy rain fell on the area at that time. Lightning strikes also the sound of thunderous lightning makes someone who is enjoying the evening tea while looking at the work pensive. His big hand took off the reading glasses from the nose bone, Habibie turned left right, there was no Kiara, the bully was not wandering around.

Out of curiosity, Habibie got up from the chair and table that he used to work part-time. Amelia and Fawas had already returned to their room to rest, but since then, he had not seen his wife again.

Habibie's steps stopped right in front of the door of the room he had opened. Not directly in, but around the room with the net to find where Kiara went.

When the door closed slowly, Habibie's steps brought him in little by little, the dim room lights made it not free, and when Habibie turned on the main light, the main light, how surprised he was when he saw the figure of the woman he was looking for was curled up beside the bed with a body shaking like a shivering person.

"Near!"
