That Cute Woman is my wife

I Eat First Because I'm Hungry.

It feels good to let go of the past without burden. Now, Shella's heart feels lighter. Although he had to bear to leave Ibrahim in a sad condition. However, at this time the only thing in the mind of Shella is Akemi.

Along the way, Shella keeps smiling in the hope that tonight's plans will go as they should.

"Please go faster, sir" Shella told the taxi driver. Though only two minutes taxi was running, it felt that Shella was impatient to get home.

While at the Apartment, Akemi sat quietly staring at the romantic dinner that Shella had prepared. Everything is very clear to see, that Shella did not mess with his words last afternoon. Akemi smiled warmly at that. However, a second later that smile turned into a sobbing. His heart still could not believe that the woman he saw was Shella, his beloved wife.

Akemi steps towards the table, everything looks so perfect. In accordance with the shadow of the man. There is a dim candlelight, even Shella also prepares a radio to play a romantic song to accompany their dinner. There are roses scattered on each balcony.

Before long Akemi sat on the chair, and held the cutlery. He started cutting the meat that was available. Then eat it while sobbing. It still hurts the view on the road.

Akemi's heart was wounded and bleeding, she had never felt like this before. A living creature called a woman, once very far away. For fear of heartbreak, and now he feels a real heartbreak. The heart was split in two. If Akemi used to always chirp like a bird that kicked because of love, now she blurs durja because of nestapa.

While in the parking lot, Shella saw Akemi's car was parked neatly in the apartment area.

"Akemi's home? that means..., oh my God, did he just see me with Ibrahim on the street?" Shella monologued, her heart began to tremble in fear. Yes, Shella was afraid of losing Akemi, if only the man had misunderstood the meeting with Ibrahim.

Shella entered the apartment and got into the elevator. Shella's getting riled up, she's not calm. And finally the elevator opened right in front of the door of Shella Apartment. The woman opened the door and headed to the balcony, where she had prepared a romantic dinner for Akemi.

Shella found Akemi eating meat without making a sound. Shella was nervous. He did not dare to say hello. Shella walked slowly towards Akemi, and sat right in front of her husband. Shella's face became tense. He looked at Akemi's face that looked ordinary. Didn't that man see Shella on the street with Ibrahim? if she comes home from now on, it means that Akemi sees Shella and Ibrahim on the street. But why didn't Akemi say anything? he just ate as if he was enjoying every piece of meat.

To be honest Akemi glanced for a moment at Shella using the corner of her eyes. The man did not see the flower that Shella was holding. Did the woman give it to the man? Akemi also knows about the legend of the Hercai Menekse flower and the Snowdrop flower that symbolizes loyalty and betrayal. So Shella kept her promise to the man? that means they will get back together, Akemi thought.

Before long Akemi turned to Shella, then said, "Have you come home? I'm sorry I ate first, 'cause I'm hungry."

Deg, man,

What sentence was that just now? why did Akemi say something else? didn't she see Shella? or at the very least, Akemi asks where did Shella come from? why isn't she home to welcome her husband home? but why did Akemi just keep silent? does that mean Akemi's angry? but choose to hide his feelings? if to be honest, Shella prefers Akemi to scream, and gets angry so that the woman knows what her heart is.

"When did you come home?" Shella asked hesitantly. However, Akemi just coolly ate all the available food. Shella was getting scared, didn't Akemi scare her tonight? suddenly Shella felt the atmosphere turn awkward.

"Akemi," said Shella.

"What's wrong?" answer Akemi flat.

"I asked, when did you come home?" Once again, Shella asked the same question.

"Then you are outside with a foreign man" Akemi replied with an indecipherable look.

Deg, man,

"Akemi, I---"

"Eat first, it's nine o'clock in the evening, and you haven't eaten. Or do you want me to bribe?" Shella shuddered in horror with Akemi's words. To him that sentence sounded very scary.

"Akemi, listen to me first." Shella seemed to be trying to explain her circumstances. However, Akemi seemed to dodge.

"Open your mouth, baby. Aaaa." Akemi feeds the meat she has cut into Shella's mouth. And inevitably the woman had to eat it.

Akemi smiled as Shella ate the meat. However, Shella's heart grew increasingly unsettled.

"All right, I'm done eating. Thanks for the dinner. I want to take a shower first, finish your food" said Akemi, and passed away leaving the silent Shella.

Shella's feelings are getting raging. Scared, sad, and hurt. Yes, Shella was hurt by Akemi's silence. At the very least, the man had to say something if he saw Shella with a foreign man. But why did Akemi choose to shut up and leave? is this how the man solves the problem? but this is not what Shella wanted. He had to straighten this out before it was too late.

Shella goes to the room, and doesn't find Akemi. Before long, Shella heard the sound of water splashing from the bathroom. It turns out Akemi has not finished her bathing ritual.

Shella waited for Akemi to come out of the bathroom while pacing back and forth like an iron. His heart was getting riled up.

"Come on Akemi, get out quickly. I want to talk to you" Shella muttered.

Before long Akemi came out of the bathroom with a fresher face. He even wears a nightgown. Shella approached Akemi, with a trembling body.

"Akemi, I want to talk to you. There's something I need to get straight here," said Shella with great steadfastness.

"We continue tomorrow, right? I'm sorry tonight our dinner wasn't as planned. I had a lot of work, now we sleep first," Akemi replied with a flat face as if nothing had happened. If in the previous nights Akemi kissed Shella's forehead before going to bed. Then another case tonight, the man just cupped Shella's right cheek. Of course, it makes Shella even sadder. If Akemi is angry, just let it go. However, Shella thought again, maybe Akemi is the type of man who does not like to discuss problems in complicated situations. Maybe Akemi needs some time to think, she doesn't like being pushed.

Finally, Shella chose silence and followed Akemi's wishes. They sleep together, but Akemi turns her back on Shella. Didn't that clearly indicate that Akemi was angry with him?

Sometimes a man needs peace of mind to discuss everything that is stuck in the chest. So as women, we must be good at seeing the situation so as not to have meaningless fights.

Self-muhasabah.
