The Heart that Chose
Chapter 10
This morning Khalid woke up at 04:30, after performing the dawn prayer, and Khalid woke his wife. Syafina hurried to prepare for prayer.
The completion of Syafina's prayer hastened out to help her mother make breakfast.
"Syafina avoids me, how do she deketin. I'm getting so stiff like this. I'm not asking her to do her duty as a wife, at least she wants to talk to me is enough"
Khalid decided to stay in the room and look at his cell phone.
"Bang, breakfast yuk" Syafina suddenly appeared from the door.
"Yuk" Khalid followed Syafina.
Syafina served breakfast in front of the khalid, poured drinking water. This morning he made fried rice pattaya.
Khalid was happy that at least Syafina served him at the dinner table, but he was still thinking of ways to get closer to Syafina.
After finishing breakfast
"Fina, yuk street.. "
"Where ? "
"Where do you have an idea? "
"No"
"Home brother first, after that watch, eat a meal or to the mall".
"Whatever"
"Buset, stingy very talk, then he was very happy to be invited to chat about his collection. It is impossible today to still talk about it" said Khalid.
"Of ready to go to my brother's house"
They both prepared to be ready. They took alternating baths, as usual Syafina changed clothes in the bathroom. Khalid went along to change clothes in the bathroom, he knew Syafina was embarrassed to see him change clothes. Once ready they also leave using Syafina motorbike. The trip to Khalid's house took half an hour.
"Assynogaic"
"Greetings" Sherin who opened the door.
"Lake bang" Sherin is older than Syafina. He was the adopted son of Fatimah's mother.
"Where's Sher's mom ? "
"So mom on the porch next to the bang house, take a look there".
Khalid and Syafina went to the side porch. It turns out that Fatimah was taking care of her collection of aglonemas. Syafina approached her in-laws, and in a short time they talked looking very familiar, smiling laugh of course with the topic of ornamental plants. So that Khalid is not considered to exist.
"Hhh I'm on cuekin, can't let this go. I'm insensitive" Khalid grumbled. He thought of an idea in order to make Syafina feel at home for a long time chatting with him. Khalid leaned against the wall watching his wife.
Syafina knew that if she was noticed, she turned to Khalid and stuck her eyes.
"Astagfirullah" Khalid rubbed his chest.
"Oh my God, I'm so groggy with Syafina, where Khalid can make a girl clamps. Do I forever just dare to pay attention to Syafina from afar? " Khalid took a deep breath, he was confused by himself.
After the prayer, Khalid planned to invite Syafina to watch a movie in the cinema
"Fin, let's watch yuk"
"Watch what, drakor? "
"Whatis that? "
"Korea drama"
"No, we're watching in a cinema. Whatever you want to see later".
"Correct? "
"Ehmm" Khalid nodded.
"Wait, I pray first" Syafina immediately prepared.
"If you want to change clothes, there's your shirt in the closet"
"My clothes? " Syafina asked in wonder.
"Yes, I prepared"
"Oh that"
When they finished they left on Khalid's motorbike.
Arriving at the cinema Syafina chose the title of a film in the genre of comedy. Khalid wanted to watch romance or horror, in Khalid's mind if watching the horror of Syafina would be frightened, and hugged him. But he just said what she wanted Syafina.
The film has started, Syafina started laughing lightly then silent, then laughing rather loudly, grinning, then laughing even harder. While Khalid did not focus on the film, he focused on Syafina. For him Syafina is even more beautiful if she laughs so.
Suddenly Syafina and the other spectators laughed very hard and frowned. Syafina patted Khalid's thigh and leaned over Khalid's shoulder so much she laughed.
"Hey, just found out I Syafina can do this. It's not wrong to watch a comedy movie".
"Abang kok no laughing anyway bang, Syafina still panting because of her laughter just now.
"It's just a smile, a shame for your brother to laugh so hard". Khalid reasoned.
"Ha ha ha" Syafina laughed again as she drew Khalid's hand. While Khalid enjoyed being treated as such.
"Again look, hi hi hi hi"
After the movie was finished they came out of the cinema.
"I love Aliando so much, so cute again" Syafina smiled.
"What the hell, handsome is also the brother of him"
"She's the handsome brother of him, but he's funny, qiyut."
"Not misheard me, what did you say just now ?"
"Emang Fina said what? "
"The handsome bang of Aliando"
"She, I heard it wrong.. ".
"Where there's been a mishearing, it's clear you said I'm a handsome guy from Aliando".
"Here you go, magrib nih yuk prayer" Syafina asked. They then searched the nearest mosque. After the prayer Khalid took Syafina to the mall.
"Hayyuk" Syafina excited.
"It turns out not as I thought, I thought it would be months Syafina froze hard to talk to, not a day had melted away".
They both walked together, looking. But no items are bought.
"Aren't you buying Fin ?" khalid asked as Fina put back the sneakers she saw.
"No"
"Take it if you like, brother who pays"
Syafina shook her head, then walked out of the store. Khalid followed.
"From just looking at it, sure nobody wants to buy ?". Khalid was actually eager to buy things for Syafina. Usually women are happy when bought things.
"No, I'm just washing my eyes" Syafina is used to buying things if the things she has are damaged.
"Yes, eat yuk"
"Come on, I'm hungry too"
They then look for a place to sell fast food. They spend their food quickly, because they are already very hungry after traveling around. When she finished eating, Shafina invited Khalid to return home.
"It's nine, go home yuk bang"
"Come".
They both walked to the parking lot. Khalid walked first, Syafina following behind him.
In a rather dark place, someone suddenly smothered Syafina's mouth and pulled her away. Syafina tried to thrash, but that person held her very firmly.
Luckily, there was a man passing by.
"Hey was going to say something" he directly hit the person and shouted.
"Please jambreeet !!"
Khalid who was not far from that place heard it, he immediately looked back.
"Syafinaaa". Khalid ran to his wife.
Seeing the unsafe condition, the person let go of Syafina by pushing her hard. Syafina staggered almost to the ground. Khalid caught him, while the man fled. Someone had been waiting for him on a motorcycle and had finally managed to escape.
"Are you okay, Fina?"
Syafina shook her head, she was very shocked.
"I'm scared bang" Sura Syafina said
"There's a brother here Fina, sorry you didn't take care of you". Khalid hugged Syafina. Syafina buried her face in her Husband's chest. His body trembled in fear.
"Is there anything missing?"
"Nothing" Syafina shook her head.
Khalid let go of his embrace, then turned to the man who was helping his wife.
"Mas, thank you for helping my wife"
"Yes sir, next time heart. Now there's a lot of snatching."
"I don't know what happens if you don't exist, thank you very much"
Khalid was really grateful that his wife was helped by that man.
"It just so happens sir, oh yes I'm sorry"
"What's name?"
"Budi, yes first sir"
"Yes" replied Khalid.
Khalid and Syafina came home, they arrived home at 22:30 p.m. Because the distance from town B to Syafina's house is quite far.
At home, Zaenab opened the door.
"Kok came home at night, mama kirain y'all sleep at aunt Fatimah's house"
"We've watched mom, kept playing to the mall so come home last night"
"Yeah, get some rest. Mama's going to sleep too"
"Yes ma"
Until Khalid and Shafina cleaned their bodies alternately to the bathroom, Syafina first. When they finished, Khalid and Shafina sat on the bed.
"Sorry brother, next time I won't take you out for another night."
"That's it, what matters is that Fina doesn't why. Oh yeah bang, brother yesterday's wound has healed yet? it's been a week"
"It looks like it's healed" Khalid said
"Here Fina look bang"
Khalid moved his seat closer to Shafina. Syafina rolled up the sleeves of Khalid's T-shirt.
"It's dry, tomorrow it opens the stitches yeah"
Khalid nodded.
"Your motorbike is still at home, tomorrow it will be picked up"
"Yes bang, go to sleep. Tired of Fina"
She laid down her body, and it did not take long for her to fall asleep. He heard his regular breathing.
While Khalid had not fallen asleep, he still remembered the incident in the parking lot. Khalid shuddered in horror at the thought of something bad happening to his wife.
"God still protects you Fina". Khalid stroked Syafina's straight Long hair, brushing the hair that covered part of his wife's face.
"I still can't believe I can be your husband Fina, I promise to protect you" Khalid stroked his wife's cheek. Then he saw Shafina's face very close, Khalid kissed Syafina's forehead.
"I love you Syafina Almaira".
