The Beginning of a Dream

I'm Picking You Up, Why So Long?

Three men were eavesdropping behind a wall by the window. The position of Tama and Bayu crouched down in front of Reffan while Reffan bowed and concentrated on listening to what was happening in front.

"Wah Bu Safira turns out to be good at talking too yes, I think Bu Safira is quiet." Tama's whisper near Bayu's ear.

"Bu Safira was only quiet in front of Mr. Reffan, knowing himself how Mr. Reffan. Safira could be locked up if she talks to another man." Bayu had already held back his giggling with his palm.

"Hihi. could have been you sir." Tama chimed in with a soft voice. It seems that because they are too cool to eavesdrop they forget who is behind them.

"You also seem to have to be locked up." Reffan whispered between Bayu's left ear and Tama's right ear.

Bayu and Tama immediately turned their heads slowly, smiling sweetly trying to erase the sin of having gossiped his boss' wife.

"Sorry sir, we're just kidding." Tama smiled when in her heart she cursed herself. "Slacky block!"

Not much different from Bayu who fools himself, it seems close to Tama makes his consciousness decline.

.

Safira smiled at Bella's mother.

"Now my name is no longer important ma'am, covered by my husband's name. Excuse me." Safira lowered her legs after smiling so beautifully.

"I'm sorry I ever meant anything badly to you." Bella said with her head down.

"I've forgiven." Safira looked at Bella who then turned to her.

"You know?"

Safira smiles. "Because I'm sure there's still a good side to you. I don't talk about it anymore with anyone. Forget it, but not a second time. There's only one chance and I've given it to you."

Bella is flabbergasted to know Sapphira knows about it but does nothing. True what Bara said about Sapphira, Safira indeed deserves to be in his position now. The woman before him looked resolute but her heart was so kind.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat.." Safira said a greeting then came out of the living room after her greeting was answered Bella and her mother. But immediately beristighfar, "Astagfirullah.." Sapphira held her chest.

The three men immediately stood up straight and misbehaved except for Reffan who remained facing his cool face.

Bella and her mother came out the door wondering what Safira saw.

"I was assigned Mr. Reffan to ensure your safety." First said with a smile.

"Either." Bayu answered expressionlessly.

Safira looked at Reffan with a retained smile, curious as to what her husband was going to say.

"I'm picking you up. Why so long?" Speak as usual without any burden and always look charismatic.

Reffan then stepped closer to Sapphira, grasping her hand and pulling her in his steps. While Bayu and Tama bow to Bella's mother and say hello.

.

Safira looked towards Bella's house. From inside the car he smiled and lowered his head hinting at the two mothers and children who were still standing in front of the door staring at the car that was starting to go slowly.

When Safira closed the car window. Reffan immediately hugged his waist and pulled it tight to his body.

The views of the two meet. Tama who glanced from the middle rearview directly did not dare to look at him anymore. Now he looked straight ahead. I don't know what he's cursed in his heart.

"Aren't you tired?" Reffan spoke near Sapphira's ear.

"I'm hungry." Sapphira answered with a face made of sand.

Reffan smiled, "We're looking for food!" Not a question but more of a command line.

"Eh, but I was shopping." Safira remembered how much she had been shopping for groceries before lunch but her lunch only stopped by for a while in her stomach and came out again.

"Leave it. You haven't eaten yet." Reffan did not want to be debated.

"Tama... " Unfinished Reffan said directly answered Tama.

"Good sir." Answer Tama with a straight forward view.

"What am I going to say?" Reffan chiming fast.

"Find a place to eat, right, sir?" Tama confidently ensures.

"If I might just drink, sir." Answer Tama follow casually.

"Just boy. You want to drink while you see my wife eating?" Reffan was getting angry.

"Ehh.." Tama started to wave.

"You two wait in the car. I was the only one who accompanied Safira. It's delicious." Reffan hugged Sapphira tighter and tighter. Safira just shook her head holding back a smile.

While Bayu had a small smile even though his heart actually laughed at Tama.

.

Reffan looked at Safira who was greedily eating the rib soup in front of him. His wife was really hungry. Reffan is grateful that Sapphira's pregnancy does not affect her appetite, Sapphira rarely nausea until it ends vomiting. This incident during the day is rare because usually if Sapphira nausea does not vomit.

"You want more?" Reffan asked after there was no more rice grains in the sapira dish only bones that lost their meat.

"Kenyang. Thank goodness." Safira smiled and drank the drink.

"Sit down for a second! You just finished eating." Remap Reffan who then grabbed his glass as well.

"Pak Bayu and Pak Tama pity mas." Safira said after almost finishing her drink.

"Why do you think of them anyway. You can only think of me." Reply to Reffan who seemed upset. His hand pinched Safira's nose.

Safira immediately pouted getting a piteous pinch from her husband.

"Don't be so adorable! I'll hold you accountable for teasing me." Speak to Reffan in a serious tone.

Sapphira immediately pulled her lips put on a face with a sharp glare at her husband. His hand reached for the glass to finish the rest of his drink.

"You're really flirting apparently." Reffanpun immediately finished his drink.

Safira was already in panic mode, "I didn't say anything!"

Reffan just smiled then stood up to pay to the cashier and then pulled his wife's hand in his footsteps.

"Whatever you do is always tempting." Reffan said near Sapphira's ear when he would open the door for his wife. After the car door opened Reffan gently pushed his wife's body to immediately sit in the car, a body that immediately sculpted because suddenly the fine hairs on his body stood up.

.

When he arrived at Safira's house immediately cleaned up his groceries without seeing Reffan. Safira was engrossed in washing and arranging food ingredients even his clothes were still the same.

Reffan just sat watching his wife who did not see him at all even glanced at him. Reffan waited long enough for Sapphira until the limit of his patience was exhausted.

"What did you do for so long?" Reffan said in an annoyed tone that his wife did not care about him.

"A. l. se.." Sapphira stuttered into Reffan's piercing eyes. His heart was pounding incoherently.

Reffan smiled but in Sapphira's eyes Reffan's smile was very worrisome.

"You're so good at talking out there. Why is your throat choking now? Is your chest pounding now that you're stunned to see me?" Reffan stepped forward slowly about to erode the distance between the two of them.

"Why have I always been weak in the face of Reffan? And why am I cornered now?" The inner Sapphira who was about to cry.

Reffan approached but passed by Sapphira's body just like that, his hands washing the unfinished groceries of his wife.

"You've been deliberately lingerin' ya wash it?" Reffan glanced at his wife who was still sculpting nearby.

Safira was surprised to make him look directly into Reffan's eyes, honestly the answer is yes, Safira really enjoy lingering with food ingredients.

Reffan has finished arranging all the ingredients, which need to be put in the refrigerator has been arranged neatly.

"Why are you working so long?" Reffan pulled out Safira's nose, his beautiful wife just grimacing.

"Come on!" Reffan pulled his wife's arm.

"Where's mas?" Questions Safira should not ask.

"Mandify you!" Reffan's smile had already risen but instantly sank.

Tok tok...
