This woman then hugged me, like a dream during the day. I'm a little pinch my hand hurts. Means it's real.
-------
"Mother has an appointment, thanks for taking the time out for mom" she said, kissing my right and left cheeks. I'm still stuck, even though he's out of my room.
Has she really changed?,
I close my room, I have to go back to the store. There are some jobs waiting for me. I put my car up, still thinking about what just happened.
I just opened the computer at the office, my phone rang, Rangga called me.
"Assalamualaikum darling"
"Waalaikumsalam, dear"
"Darling, what time do you come home? " ask Rangga.
"Why?" Much
"You can ask Karina for a shirt?, she asked me for something but I can't".
"Why?" Ask me again
"For there is an Audit team from the center dear" said Rangga.
"Oh." Usually I asked him to, now he's turned around.
"I pick up at 4 tet, ask Karina to be ready" I explained. Than he wrestled to Rangga mending me who delivered.
I resumed my work, until half-hour 4 I decided to go to Sintia.
"Tumben, you're home?" Ask later.
"Yes Sint, I have a friend's appointment" I reasoned.
20 Minutes from my office. I just stopped fenced. Karina seemed to be walking towards me.
"Where? " i asked after Karina got in the car.
"I don't know" he answered later.
I am also lazy to continue the conversation. I took him to one of the biggest malls in town.
We walked together but with almost no conversation. Then I walked a little ahead, so that he would follow me without letting out.
We enter a Baby Shop here all complete baby equipment and also stylish maternity clothes.
I chose to sit, while Karina went around end to end.
I opened my phone, checked my online store.
I see the clock on the screen is 5.30, soon magrib.
"You're still a long time?" I walked over to Karina, she still looked engrossed in her shopping.
"Eatya lazy I tuh, if you who nganter, not impatient" he complained without seeing me.
"I have to be satisfied, satisfied first ajha shopping. I'm here again at 6:30" I explained without waiting for an answer and left.
I walked in the elevator, and down in the Basement, there was Mushola. I entered after taking ablution, quite crowded. I took out my travel mukena that I moved out of the car.
Half an hour later I went back upstairs, following Karina who was still at the Baby Shop, I saw that she had chosen some items.4 bags she was carrying with the store clerk. He came up to me and said he was done shopping. I stood up and walked towards the cashier.
A bit of a shock to see the nominal, I've never been shopping this much.
He left me with his groceries. I just took the card from the cashier and left the shopping bag there.
"Where do I shop?" He asked when I was at the exit, I just pointed with my chin at the cashier.
"Kok has not been brought all together" he said in a high tone inviting several pairs of eyes to look at us.
I just glanced at him and walked out.
He returned to take his shopping at the cashier in annoyance.
He looks troubled carrying some bags. I stopped and took some, without a word.
"I was thirsty" he said later.
We stopped at a coffee shop, near the exit.
"Good night, what message do you want?" ask the waiter is friendly while giving a menu list.
"Ice coffee mba" I said.
"Straberry lemonande" Karina's message.
After taking notes and repeating the order, the waiter left us.
We sat face to face, next to us a lot of visitors to the mall. I picked up the phone in my bag while waiting for my order to arrive.
"Mas Andre, suddenly Karin stood up and called out the name of someone who passed beside him. Even though he stood behind me but I knew it was the Word.
"Me again, alone?" asked Karina, it turns out Karin knows the Word.
"Yes.ngg" replied mas Firman while pointing at Karina.
"Karin mas" said Karina quickly.
"Oh, sorry, out of shopping" asked Firman to look at the groceries beside Karina.
At a glance, Firman turned to look at me, then looked back surprised to see me there. My eyes bulged and coded with my fingers to leave immediately when he would greet me.
"Oh yes please continue Ka rina, I still there need" pamit mas Firman later. He was still amazed to see me.
"I want to talk" a message from WA came in from the word mas number.
"Tomorrow" I replied
"Now, I'm still in front of the optics wijaya, the direction of the toilet" he explained.
"I want to go to the toilet first" said Karin, as if not listening to me.
I left him.
Mas Firman stood in front of the guardrail, the position of my back. I stood beside him. With the opposite direction standing.
"What's up" I asked then quietly.
"What am I supposed to ask?"
We talked without looking at each other, just for a moment.
"There's nothing" I replied.
"What was your relationship with that woman?" tanyanya.
"Should you answer?" askaku.
"I met him at the hospital, a while ago. She introduced me to her husband. I knew that face, I felt like I had met him before. I just remembered he's the same guy you were with when we first met"
This time Firman looked at me.
"Is Rangga your husband?"
My head suddenly turned, but I was still trying to calm down.
"Mas, if you can't talk here" I replied.
"When you go first" I said. I don't want to tell anyone anything.
I just got up and the Word held my hand.
"When you wait" I let go of Firman's handrails.
"Don't now if you beg" I said and walked away from him.
I went back to Karina who was still sitting while enjoying her order.
"When it's coming home, it's late" I brought 2 bags of Karina's groceries and left the rest for her to take with me.
On the way home, none of us spoke. We walked for half an hour without a word. I opened the fence and put my car in. Let him down with the bagged groceries. Rangga's car is also not seen like he has not returned home.
I threw my bag in, cleaned my face and then cleaned my body. Pray for a while, then lay down my body. Kuraih bag and take my phone that reads from earlier.
Rangga called.
"Assalamualaikum darling" I said.
"Waallaikumsalam, are you home?" tanyanya.
"He em just nyampe "I answered.
"Have you been saying something, would you buy something?" tanyanya.
"Dear no, my heart is still" I said again.
I close my eyes, the sleepiness is upon me. I'm asleep too.
I woke up when I thought someone was hugging me, I saw Rangga was sleeping beside me, I watched my tired face, stroked his face, he was always there for me, he could accept all my shortcomings, he said, he who can accept my past, he who patiently waits for me. Rangga I love you, more than I realize, I cry in my silence. I want to be in your arms forever.
----
"Darling to wake up" I shook Rangga's arm which was still slumbering in his sleep.
He looks very sleepy.
"Darling prayer first" I shook his arm.
He woke up with half a consciousness.
"Darling" I pinched her nose as she returned to sleep in a sitting position.
I pulled him down from the bed, he walked slowly to ablution, I then spread out the prayer mat and prepared the scabbard.
Rangga looks tired, not usually he returned to bed after morning prayers.
I approached him.
"I'm glad I slept again"
"Drowsiness dear. "the answer opened his eyes a little. Rangga pulled me who was sitting next to him.
"Love u dear" he said spoiled.
"Love u too "my reply.
There was that smile on the lips, that smile that made me fall in love all the time.
Suppose that there is only you in my day, and in yours there is only me.
Being with you like this feels like a beautiful dream and I woke up.
I buried my head in his chest, enjoying his every heartbeat. Baby, this is how I'm happy...
"Mas.. Mas Rangga" heard Karina yelling at Rangga and knocking hard on my room door.
Lazy Rangga woke up from his bed.
Seriate...
