Raffi goes into Esha's apartment. The apartment looks very dark. He also touched the wall to look for a light switch and pressed it. Suddenly the room became bright. Then Raffi let his gaze search for Esha in every room, but he did not find it.
Raffi finally went into Esha's room. Suddenly his eyes were fixed on Esha's suitcase located beside the wardrobe. She slowly opens Esha's wardrobe. Raffi smiled with relief when he saw that Esha's closet had been filled with clothes.
You have returned from your village. But where are you going, honey? Your car is also not in the parking lot, Raffi murmured in his heart.
Raffi reached into the phone in his pants pocket and tried to contact Esha again.
Tut .. tut .. tut ....
Raffi waited for some time, but there was no answer. He tried many times, but it remained the same. Then he sent a message via whatsapp to Esha.
{ Where are you darling? Why won't you return my message and won't answer my phone? Are you mad at me? }
The message was read by Esha but not answered. Raffi is getting upset. He threw his cell phone on the bed. The man looked very frustrated.
"Where are you, honey? I can go crazy thinking about you" Raffi murmured.
Raffi sat on the edge of the bed, then started to think.
"Esha doesn't know anyone in Jakarta except me, Bi Ijah and Pak Rahmat. Yes, surely Esha went to the villa to meet Bi Ijah and Pak Rahmat" he muttered again.
Raffi rushes to get his cell phone and exits Esha's apartment to the parking lot. He drove his car to his village in Cipanas. In the middle of the journey Aulia called Raffi many times, but she did not want to answer him. Raffi turned off his phone.
Two hours later, Raffi arrived at his village. He saw Esha's car in the parking lot. Raffi smiled with relief because it was true that Esha was in the villa.
Alhamdulillah .. turns out to be true my guess, you are here Honey, inner Raffi.
Raffi opened the door with the spare key he had brought and rushed to his room. Raffi opened the door of his room slowly. He saw Esha was already asleep in her sleep.
Slowly Raffi approached Esha then sat down beside her. He stroked his wife's face gently, then kissed her right cheek. Suddenly, Esha opened her eyes. He was surprised to see Raffi in front of his eyes.
"Son Raffi." Esha immediately got up and sat facing her husband.
"Dear Assalamu'alaikum" said Raffi while brushing his smile.
"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Why is Raffi here? Didn't Raffi go on his honeymoon with Aulia?" asked Esha in surprise.
Raffi clasped Esha's body tightly. Esha surprised. His heart is beating fast.
"Dear I missed you so much. Why don't you return my message and not pick up my phone?" ask Raffi.
"Sorry Brother .. I ...."
"Are you angry with me?" tukas Raffi then let go of his embrace.
"I'm sorry, honey. I'm married to Aulia. But that is not my will. That's my family's wish. I love only one woman in this world, you dear." Raffi hugged Esha again.
"I love you too, brother. I miss you too." Esha returned Raffi's embrace. He could not hold back his tears anymore. Her tears broke in her husband's arms.
"I'm sorry, brother, I shouldn't be like this. But I .. I'm so jealous to see you with Aulia on TV" Esha said in between sobs.
Raffi let go of his embrace. Then he wiped Esha's tears with both hands. "Don't cry anymore, baby! You are not wrong. I'm the one who should apologize to you" said Raffi.
Raffi cupped both his hands to Esha's face, then kissed her forehead slowly. Then he brought his lips closer to his wife's lips, and kissed her gently. Esha returned her husband's kiss. Their lips were intertwined for a long time.
That night they let go of the longing that had been tormenting their minds. They hugged each other, kissed, and made love. There is no longer any distance between them. It was a long night for both of them.
***
The dawn adhan echoed. Esha opened her eyelids slowly. He smiled as he looked at the face of Raffi who was still asleep in his arms. Their bodies were covered in blankets. She gently brushed Raffi's hair.
If time could stop, I want to feel like I'm always with you like I am now. I love you so much, Brother Raffi, Esha muttered inwardly.
Raffi slowly opened his eyes. "Good morning, dear," said Raffi as he looked at his wife's face.
"Good morning" said Esha.
"Sir, why does Raffi know that Esha is here?" ask Esha then.
"Yesterday I almost went crazy thinking about you, baby. I was confused because you didn't want to return my message and didn't answer my phone. Then I decided to go back to Indonesia and immediately look for you to the apartment. But there I did not find you. Then I saw your suitcase and your clothes in the closet. I'm starting to think that you must be here to meet Bi Ijah and Pak Rahmat, because you don't know anyone in Jakarta."
"What about Aulia? Does he know that Raffi's brother went looking for me?"
"Lia doesn't know anything. You don't have to worry about it!"
"You don't be afraid, as long as I'm around, no one's gonna hurt you." Raffi tried to calm Esha down.
"Then Miss Debby?"
"Papa's mom was coming to America this afternoon."
"Now let's take a shower!" raffi then got out of bed. Then he carried Esha's body and walked towards the bathroom.
"Son Raffi put me down!" exclaim Esha.
"I don't want to" said Raffi with a smile.
After bathing and changing clothes, Esha invited Raffi to perform the congregational dawn prayer. This time Raffi complied with Esha's request. He did not want to disappoint his wife again.
After the prayer, Esha came out of the room and walked to the kitchen to make Raffi's favorite black coffee. Bi Ijah happened to be here. She was busy cooking in the kitchen.
"Good morning, Non. Non Esha's awake?" greet Bi Ijah in a friendly manner.
"Good morning. Yes Bi. Esha wants to make coffee for Raffi. Last night Raffi came Bi."
"Yes Non. Aunty saw Mr. Raffi's car in the parking lot."
Esha makes a cup of black coffee for Raffi and delivers it to the room. After which, he returned to the kitchen again to help Bi Ijah make breakfast.
After finishing cooking, Esha called Raffi for breakfast.
"Son Raffi let's have breakfast first! The food is ready" he said.
"Yes dear" said Raffi.
Raffi got out of bed and walked to the dining room.
"Good morning, Mr. Raffi," said Bi Ijah.
"For Bi Ijah. Mr Grace where is Bi?" ask Raffi.
"Sir Mercy is cleaning outside your house."
"Then call Mr. Grace in, we have breakfast together!" Raffi's Edit.
Esha and Bi Ijah were shocked to hear Raffi's words. They both looked at each other.
"Quick Bi, call Mr. Grace!" raffi again.
"I .. Yes Sir." Bi Ijah also rushed out to call Mr. Rahmat. Esha smiled happily at the change in her husband.
Shortly after, Mr. Rahmat and Bi Ijah arrived at the dining room.
"Please sit Mr. Grace, Bi Ijah, we have breakfast together!" raffi.
"I .. yes Sir," said Mr. Grace a little confused by the change in attitude of his employer. They sat down and had breakfast together.
After breakfast Raffi and Esha say goodbye to Pak Rahmat and Bi Ijah to go to the office.
