There's Only Us

The Awkward Morning

The sound of the alarm woke Nara who was still fast asleep. Slowly the eyelid opened, disturbed by the sound coming from his cell phone.

Nara's outstretched hand picked up the phone on the nightstand, while looking at the clock that turned out to be five in the morning. This alarm will go off every day without Nara resetting.

Nara put it again in the place earlier, suddenly her forehead wrinkled when she felt something was falling on her stomach. His gaze was fixed downward, his eyes were wide open at that very instant. The drowsiness that keeps up just disappears.

Somehow Gavin's hand was on top of her stomach, Nara looked back and felt a warm puff of breath on her cheek. Again Nara was shocked, the distance between herself and Gavin was very close and almost stuck.

Nara turned her face back, her cheeks were hot. He was also surprised, didn't they sleep far away last night? And where are the bolster pillows that become a barrier?

With no intention of waking Gavin, Nara slowly raised Gavin's hand on her stomach, but instead woke Gavin. Both of the men's eyes were open.

“What's up?” asked Gavin with a distinctive hoarse voice of waking up.

Nara who was shocked reflexively turned her head, looking at Gavin who was like he was collecting lives.

“Sorry, I so woke you up,” said Nara feeling guilty.

"Ehm ... It's okay," Gavin again wanted to close his eyes.

“Mas ... ” call Nara, Gavin re-opens his eyes.

“Mas why can it be here? Where's the bolster pillow?” nara asked in surprise, Gavin furrowed his eyebrows thinking mark, but it seemed that Gavin had yet to be fully conscious.

“I dump.”

Nara gawks, it turns out that Gavin threw it away. And last night Gavin himself put the pillow bolster.

“But why--”

"Chat it later, I'm still sleepy .. "after that Gavin really went back to sleep.

Nara also broke herself down, it was still a little sleepy while Gavin's hand was pulled by the man so it did not hit Nara again.

...⚫⚫⚫...

At eight in the morning they woke up. Of course, that makes people misunderstand. Nara and Gavin go to the breakfast place where their families are.

“Ehem! The newlyweds just woke up,” chirped Kiki invited the laughter of everyone except two small children who did not understand Kiki's words.

“Iya, we've been waiting a long time but they just came out.. ” timpal Helen, Nara and Gavin are already sitting in the chair, they're next to each other.

“What are you talking about?” ask Nara.

"Not saying anything, really. Only you know, we don't know anything" Kiki said, but it made Nara even more confused.

Nara took the plate and filled it with rice and side dishes. Then take a spoon, prepare to eat. Kiki who noticed that momentarily cleared her throat making Nara avert her gaze.

"Ra! Forgotten by husband? Ambolin! Kasian already laper, energy exhausted for the sport was malem ... "

“Sports what the hell?” nara's lips pursed a sign of resentment, of course she knew what Kiki's words meant.

This morning's hug had made Nara's heart pound uncharacteristically, other than Gavin no man touched Nara. Except for Dad and Fahmi. Especially if it is more than just a hug, Nara already felt goosebumps first because she was still a little traumatized.

Nara took another plate, filling it with rice as well as side dishes for Gavin. Gavin silently smiled, this was the first time Gavin had been served like this despite having been married twice.

Jovanka has never served her duties as a wife except in bed. But it's Gavin who doesn't respond. Two years of Jovanka in winain for non-maurant.

For the pillow bolster incident, Gavin deliberately threw it away because it was disturbed. But he did not realize that he was hugging Nara, fortunately his wife did not shout because she had broken the promise.

Breakfast is served by jokes and laughter but not by newlyweds. Nara and Gavin still feel awkward because of the incident this morning especially when in the bathroom.

“You still want to stay here or go straight home?” ask Helen between breakfast.

Nara turned her head towards Gavin, which meant waiting for Gavin's decision. “Live home, Mah.”

“So, you guys stay at Mamah's house, right? Not moving?” helen's eyes looked expectantly, Nara nodded as did Gavin.

Earlier this morning they had discussed this, Nara would sell the house and move to Gavin's house. Although there is a little unwillingness, but it is the best. If it is not sold then the house will be empty no occupants. Better to sell.

“If Mamah is living alone, Mamah has no friends,” said Nara, Helen smiled haru.

“Yes, if you are looking for your own home Mamah will be alone at home. Moreover, the house is large, serem if it is quiet residents,” Helen shuddered in horror, the three-story house will of course feel scary if there are only a few residents even though there are servants though.
