The Winged Angel

2. Apparently Not Him

The ship has docked. The covering cloth in my eyes felt moving beginning to open. The eyelids are still tightly closed. Waiting for Henry's warning. The sound of the roar of the waves that break on the beach is so tempting to the ears.

"Can you open your eyes?" ask me with my eyes closed. After waiting, neither did Henry speak.

Henry was deliberately curious about me.

"Slowly open his eyes so as not to be surprised," he chanted by my side.

When eyes are open. We have been in front of the pier jutting into the sea. A very beautiful island is at the end of the pier. From a distance the coconut trees seemed to be waving, lined up sweetly along the beach. As if to say welcome to me.

Henry then helped me get off the ship. Set foot on the pier with a long wooden bridge. My mouth was amazed. The body turned, the eyes continuously recording every corner of the beauty of the island.

"Badly good. I like!" I'm hugging Henry's waist.

"Look at the water below us!"

"Wow!! Very clear. Underwater coral reefs can be this clear?"

My body was ducking in the wooden bridge guardrail. Observing the scenery under the water. The eyeballs widened, the mouth muttering with admiration repeatedly.

"You're right, honey. This is a hidden paradise. Lookie! The little fish are so beautiful! My hand pointed at the fish that passed under the water.

"Let's go in! We're resting in a bungalow." Henry took my hand down the pier towards the mainland. Very long wooden bridge.

"That's a long wooden bridge," I complained. Long time on the ship made my way drift.

"Raclut? Hayuk's up!" Henry squatted in front of me. A very tempting offer.

"Geek!!" Without resisting I immediately climbed onto that sturdy back. Hugged his neck from behind.

"How long is this bridge, Yang? I think the bungalow up ahead looks small."

"More than one kilo."

"What?" Instantly my forehead shriveled.

"Quiet, Non. Sit on your back sweetly. Enjoy view!"

"Okeh Abang darling. I love you." Kuciumi's head is flattened.

Henry chuckled happily.

Beno and his army were busy transporting goods from the ship to the bungalow. The big men moved quickly past Henry who was walking leisurely holding my body.

There are three buildings on the island. A semi-permanent building in the form of a stage, partly made of wood. All facing the beach. One of the largest buildings is in the middle.

Henry said it was the main building we were going to occupy. Some of Beno's men will stand guard at the post on the dock. Some stayed on the ship.

"This island is one of the small islands in the Derawan archipelago. Don't expect internet here. For electricity only we use generators" Henry told me.

We were in a bungalow.

I'm mangosteen. "This place looks well-groomed. The bungalows are clean. Who's taking care of it?" my question was to take off my coat and hijab because I started to feel hot.

"Some one takes care of. Residents around this island who come every day to clean and maintain security here. Previously the island was often rented to foreigners. Some celebrities have even contracted for a long vacation here, Non."

"Cool. Who's aja?" manya admire.

"Oprah Winfrey, Celine Dion, Rowan Atkinson ...."

Mouth gaping. "Means they like secluded places too."

"Hmm .. maybe they need privacy to spend the holidays. Living on an island like this, people would feel the world belongs to themselves." Henry threw his body on the bed

I threw my body beside him. This room is designed to resemble a bridal room. A bed with beautiful white mosquito nets dangled to the floor. Some large windows are wide open facing the beach so that fresh air can enter freely into the room. No more AC in this place.

The size of the room is quite spacious with the feel of wooden walls until it feels more natural. Decorated with sea ornaments that stick sweet, in the form of starfish and shell shells.

"The decoration of this room is very sweet. I like it."

"Opah himself made the concept."

"The good stuff."

"Hu' um." Henry tilted his body towards me. His fingers grabbed the children's hair that covered part of my face.

"Beno same his men over here will stay on the ship. Keep the post at the pier. So you can be more free."

"So much security lures fish for us."

I'm laughing a little. "Curats .. those who are tired of fishing. We're good to eat."

Henry grabbed my body into his arms. "This place will make us focus on each other, because it's just me and you. No internet signal to interfere." Her lips then clung to my forehead.

"Are we going to get here?" I put my face on his neck.

"In addition to focusing on making children, we will play sand until satisfied." Henry chuckles to my hair.

"Main sand doang?"

"What do you want?"

"Kerenan dikit dong, dear. Snorkeling cake, jet skiing or surfing" I protested while playing her thin shirt.

"Dih .. My wife likes extreme. Dare to? Let's learn the same Beno all can tuh him." His hand caressed my hair.

"Ogah ah's. He wants the same you. Play sand with that. No papa, deh," I said while pinching his hard chest muscles. Henry laughed a little in response to me.

"Sir, yuk! Tired right?"

"Hu' um." I put my hands on her waist.

The sound of the waves crashing out there is like a crumbling song. Henry's narrow eyes were getting closer. The wind blows. The masculine aroma of the husband's body is more soothing. Not long after my eyes closed.

****

Henry is good at jet skiing. I'm so excited that we're on the island not just playing with sand. There was just that husband.

The days we spent were so much fun. On the island I can be free because Beno and his men do not appear during the day. They deliberately fish in the middle of the sea.

"Take it now that we are Adam and Eve who just came down to the world. Look at the only ones here!" henry said with a loud voice because it had to collide with the sound of the waves.

Henry spread out both his hands. Walk backwards in front of me. Only wearing shorts with bare chest. I myself am just wearing casual clothes. We were both barefoot enjoying the smooth sand of the beach.

"Wouldn't be like Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve came down into the world apart. Put down in a different place" I said.

"Okay ... How about Romeo and Juliet?" tanyanya with a head.

"Not want either. Romeo and Juliet's love story ends tragically. Separated by death."

"Arjuna and Sinta?" He mentioned the names of other love figures.

I'm shaking.

"Novita and Sisuka?" smith again.

I shook my head again.

"Naruto and Hinata?" Add to my husband's marriage.

"Diamond." My eyeballs are spinning. I have ngaco husband. Until the cartoon characters are also called.

"I don't want to be like them. Henry and Niken are the sweetest romantic couple. None of it" I said aloud.

"MasyaAllah my wife. I love you more."

"I also love you Henry .. The most handsome husband in the world."

Suddenly Henry ran towards the beach with his arms stretched while jumping up and down in excitement. "I LOVE YOU NIKEEEN!!! I LOVE YOUUUU!!!" He shouted loudly beating the waves.

I laughed out loud to see the ridiculousness.

****

Tonight it feels hot. Usually there will be heavy rain before dawn. I can't fall asleep yet. Unlike Henry who was so sound beside me.

DOR!!!

The loud sound of a gunshot made my body aghast.
