The Bride Who Didn't Miss

CHAPTER 53

The clock shows at 10:30 Wib. The atmosphere of the city looks crowded. Low vehicle noise is heard here and there. In front there is a truck that is changing its tires. So that makes the streets of the afternoon become jammed.

Rafka started sweating. So he turned the full AC temperature regulator in his car. The sweat slowly dries as the air cools in the car.

"Tok tok tok

From the outside, someone knocked on the car's glass door. Rafka lowered his glass.

"Excuse me Om, sorry before can I busk." said one boy politely.

"Hmm, please." exclaimed Rafka.

The boy then started playing his guitar while singing his song.

"Imagine if your day is full of color . .

That's what I feel right now. . .

He made me sleep poorly

He made my meal bad

I was lured to the warmth he always gave . . .

I think I'm being drunk on love . .

Now I am drunk on love . .

In drunk love . . .

By Armada.(.In love drunk)

The boy strummed his guitar very proficiently and his voice was also melodious making the song he was carrying so pleasant to hear.

Rafka also enjoyed the song. And for some reason, now the shadow of Annisa appears in his mind suddenly, which makes his smile not feel fluffy when remembering the figure of his wife.

"It's Om" said the boy, making Rafka's daydream of Annisa.

"Oh, yes, this is for you" said Rafka who then issued a piece of paper totaling 50 thousand. Then he handed it to the boy.

"Sorry Om, the money is great." Said the boy while extending back the money sheet.

"It's okay. Take it all for you." Rafka's chimpanzee gently.

"So, um, thank you very much." The boy smiled cheerfully as he lowered his head slightly as he thanked Rafka.

Rafka nodded her head while smiling warmly. The bus driver then left after thanking him.

Not how long. The jam starts to unravel. The truck in front has been running so as to make the road back smoothly. Rafka then drove his car to his central restaurant, and soon he got there.

After parking the car in his special parking lot. Now Rafka rushed into his restaurant with his employees greeted.

"Good day sir" said one of the officers in charge of guarding the entrance.

"Siang." said Rafka.

He then walked into his room. Upon seeing the arrival of Rafka, the other employees seemed to be looking for their respective activities. That's all they do, because they don't want to look so relaxed in front of Rafka.

"Square"

"Tap tap tap . ."

The sound of Rafka's footsteps rang out so clearly as she began to enter her room. Then, slowly he approached his desk and pulled the chair there, and now Rafka began to wrestle his world by checking all reports sent by his restaurant staff.

***

Time passes so quickly. Without feeling it is already evening. From the end of the window Rafka saw the atmosphere outside that was almost dark. He then closed the laptop in front of him. Stand up from her seat and step outside.

Rafka rushed to his car. I don't know why when it feels like he really wants to get to his house quickly. That's because in his mind only Annisa's wife.

On the way Rafka saw a flower shop that was almost closed. They began to arrange their merchandise on the side of the road to be brought inside. Remembering that time also wanted almost magrib.

"There's a flower shop. Nisa likes flowers, right?

Mumbled.

Rafka then parked his car right in front of the flower shop that was about to close. Then he rushed down from his car and walked a little run up to the store owner.

"Assalamu'alaikum, excuse me sir." Say it politely.

The owner looked back.

"Yes, what's wrong, son? the shop is closed." said the old shop owner.

"I know. But I want to buy a red rose." point Rafka at a bunch of red roses.

The shop owner was silent. Maybe in his heart he said "Didn't he see if the shop was closed." but Rafka again chimed in.

"I want to give a gift to my wife, sir." Rafka said. So as to make the old man the owner of the flower shop went back inside and took a red rose that Rafka wanted.

"How much Sir?"

"20 grand." said the old man.

Rafka then issued a banknote worth one hundred thousand rupiah. Then he handed it over to the old man.

"This sir, the change just take it. I am very grateful because you have been willing to bother opening the store back for me." said Rafka while slightly bowing his head respectfully.

"Either. But I'm so not good." said the Old Man.

"It's okay sir. I'm sincere." said Rafka with a smile.

"Hmm, yasudah, hurry to go home soon to want magrib." said the Old Man.

Rafka then resigned. He rushed into his car. While the old man the shop owner started to turn on his motorcycle and passed away from there.

Rafka then starts the engine of his car, running his vehicle at medium speed. Along the way he keeps remembering Annisa while wondering in his heart. "Will Nisa receive my gift of flowers. Ask her in the heart.

***

"Tin .s .tin . .

The sound of the car horn was clear. Mr. Sofyan who was sent to guard the house then rushed to open the gate of the house.

"Drrrrrrrr

"Thank you sir." said Rafka softly while smiling at Mr. Sofyan

"The same den." said Mr. Sofyan warmly.

Rafka then parked his car in the garage outside the car. Then he went down and rushed into the house holding the red rose he bought just now on the side of the road. Traced his entire house but he never found the figure of Annisa who sought her.

"Where did Nisa go? He's not seen anywhere in the house. Is he not in his room? Try to find it there.

Rafka's Mum

He then walked towards Annisa's lapel and before long she was standing right in front of the door.

"Not enter? If it suddenly entered his fear later like yesterday, it's embarrassing.

Rafka murmured while remembering the incident the other day when he went in his room without knocking on the door. While at that time Annisa was changing her clothes, so Annisa screamed hysteria when she saw her whereabouts.

Rafka then chooses to knock on Annisa's room door first.

"Tok . .tok .

Tap her slowly but like her there is no reaction from the inside so Rafka repeats her beat with a little hard.

"Tok . .tok . .tok . .

In the room. Annisa who just came out of the bathroom then rushed to the front door of the room. Then he opened it.

"Did you?" annisa said while frowning when she saw Rafka who was now standing in front of her bedroom door.

"Nisa," said Rafka smiling happily.

"What's the bang? Tumben?" asked Annisa with a look of surprise because Rafka had not stopped by her room since the incident the other day.

"I just want to say this as my apology, because, all this time I have hurt your heart a lot" Rafka said, handing over a red rose she bought just now.

"flower?" Annisa then scrunched her eyes as she looked at the flower Rafka was carrying.

"Yes, don't you like it" said Rafka a little hesitant.

"Nisa likes it." answered Nisa while taking the flowers Rafka brought for her.

The top flower petals are covered with glass paper wrapping the flower. That he did because he had taken his ablution water to immediately perform magrib prayer and did not want to repeat again if he had to come into contact with Rafka skin.

"Thank you" Annisa said, closing the door to her room.

"Pops!!

Rafka jerks in place. He had no idea that Annisa could be so cold to him.

"How could you be Nis, just shut the door before my departure.

Rafka muttered while walking up the stairs to his room.

In Annisa's room.

"Why did I just close the door of the room before Brother's departure? am I really too much." Annisa spoke to herself in the room as she walked up to her dresser.

"But this is already magrib and I want to immediately carry out my duties as a Muslim. You should understand that." he said again while putting the flowers given Rafka on the dresser.

"Ah, stop. I better pray now before the magrib's time runs out."

After that, Annisa then walked towards the closet to pick up her face and immediately perform her worship.

After finishing his prayer. Annisa then immediately copied the mucena. As usual after tidying his face, he immediately put it back in the closet. After that she walked to the dresser because she wanted to fix her hijab. There, the red rose given by Rafka lies just like that. Annisa saw it, and she took it.

"Aww!!" ringis Annisa's. His hands were pierced by thorns as he tried to remove the paper wrapped in the rose.

"Roses are beautiful. But if you are not careful when you touch it, your hand will hurt. Just like me, I wish everything would be beautiful in time but now my feelings are getting hurt.

Annisa Mumbles.

Then he put the rose back. Then walk towards the door of the room and exit from there. Annisa then stepped towards the kitchen. Although his feelings were hurt considering the incident at the hospital this morning. But he still serves his role as a wife because he does not want to be disobeyed against her husband.

Now Annisa has finished serving her favorite food on the table. After that he immediately went to call Rafka in his room. But not to mention Annisa's step left the dining room. Suddenly Rafka appears before Annisa.

"Deg, uh,

Annisa's heart was pounding when she came face-to-face so close to Rafka. But he tried to restrain his feelings so that it was not so visible to Rafka.

"Nisa, even though you're starting to like your husband and want to keep your marriage. But you must not look weak in front of him.

Annisa muttered while looking at Rafka.

"Deg, uh,

Rafka's heart pounded as she looked at Annisa's serious-looking gaze to him.

"Why did my heart suddenly beat faster while staring at Annisa's face at such close range? Maybe it was all because I felt guilty for him.

Rafka Mumbles.

But he tried to overcome the turmoil that began to feel in him by acting as relaxed as possible now.

"Where are you going Nis?" Ask Rafka.

"You go to Brother's room to tell him that dinner is ready." Answer Annisa.

"But, because now you're here. Nisa so no need to bother anymore there." Say back.

He then retreated from Rafka's presence and walked towards the table.

"Sit. Nisa's gonna get some food for brother." Say it again while taking the plate that has been prepared by him and immediately pour his rice on it.

Rafka then approached the dining table. Then he pulled out a chair there and sat on top of it.

This time Annisa did not ask any side dishes that Rafka wanted as usual. He took it all on his own initiative and after that placed his plate that had been filled with rice and side dishes in front of Rafka.

"Please Bang." Annisa said as she walked to the chair across the road.

Seeing Annisa's cold attitude towards him. Rafka then frowned. He sighed patiently and could understand Annisa's current condition. Then, he began to eat his food without protesting to his wife.
