Waiting for your Love to Grow

The First

These days Denis often comes home late at night. There is just a job that he has to finish so that it forces him to have overtime at the office or meetings with clients who do not know the time.

Whatever time Denis came home, Nabila always tried to wait. He won't go into the room until Denis gets home.

So is today. The wall clock shows that at 22:00 Nabila is still waiting for her husband in the living room while enjoying the television broadcast. But because he was too tired, he ended up sleeping on the sofa.

Not long after, Denis arrived at the apartment. When he came in and found the television still on, he turned on the light of the room. He was shocked to find his wife asleep on the sofa.

"I told you not to wait for me, still stubborn", Denis grumbled while turning off the television.

He wanted to wake his wife and tell her to move into the room. However, he undoes his intentions when he sees his wife very soundly. His wife's hair covered his face and he slowly kissed his wife's forehead muttering in his heart, "forgive me".

He took a blanket from his wife's room and put it on his body. After he changed his clothes, he returned to the living room. He laid his body on the carpet, right in front of the sofa his wife was sleeping on.

**********

At dawn, Nabila woke up. He wondered when he found his body wrapped in a blanket. He tried to remember last night. "Ahh, I overslept last night", he murmured

He got off the couch. He was shocked when he found his foot nudging something, carefully walking towards the electric switch and pressing it.

How surprised she was when the lights came on, finding her husband sleeping on the floor. She took the blanket she was wearing, then covered it in her husband's body.

Nabila continued his activities that morning. Start washing clothes, cleaning the house, and cooking. While he was cooking, Denis woke up. Not having found his wife on the couch he walked into the kitchen and sat down on the dining chair.

Nabila, who noticed Denis' presence, turned her body to Denis and smiled, saying, "Are you awake? Want coffee?"

"Hemmm", Denis answered briefly, then placed his cheek on the table.

Nabila put a cup of coffee in front of Denis, then sat in the chair opposite Denis.

"I have an appointment with Adam today, maybe late afternoon or evening. You okay, am I gonna leave? Or you're gonna go play mommy, let me drive" Denis said.

"Go, I want to rest at home, today it feels tired once again there are some jobs that I have to finish immediately" replied Nabila.

"Just take a break, don't take your work home at the office! I don't want to be considered hiring arbitrary people" said Denis who was then nodded by Nabila.

After both breakfast, Denispun left Nabila alone at home.

Despite being tired, Nabila still did not want to be silent. He did various jobs in the apartment.

Afternoon is coming, but there's no sign of Denis coming yet. Nabila who just came out of the room opened her laptop to check the work that had not been done while enjoying the cake that she had made last afternoon.

Denis immediately closed Nabila's laptop then threw his body onto the sofa, next to Nabila.

"I told you to take a break, why are you still working" Denis said, snapping his wife's head.

" Aww, sick!" Nabila said while stroking his head with a mouth full of food.

Denis took out two pieces of paper that were none other than a plane ticket to Hamburg, in front of Nabila. "take it!" said Denis.

Nabil took it. At a glance, Nabila rounded her eyes, then said "This__"

Nabila did not have time to continue his words, Denis chimed in, "do you like it?"

Nabila nodded her head, she looked very happy, then turned her body to face Denis. The distance between them is now very close.

The look they meet. Suddenly Denis put his palm on Nabila's cheek and rubbed Nabila's lips with his finger gently. Nabila looked at Denis sayu.

"Basic kids! eating cake alone is still a straw like this", Denis words immediately make Nabila's face red with embarrassment. Nabila became wrong.

" You want this, while thrusting the cake that is on the plate" said Nabila

"I washed my hands first" said Denis, who stood up to wash his hands.

But Nabila quickly pulled the end of her husband's jacket, making Denis sit back on the sofa.

"No need to wash my hands, let me take a bribe. Aaakkk ", said Nabila as she thrust a loaf of bread in front of her husband's mouth.

Denis opened his mouth and chewed slowly on the bread that had entered his mouth.

" Any?", asked Nabila while observing the way her husband ate.

Denis just nodded his head because his mouth was still filled with bread.

After the bread in his mouth runs out Denis says, "immediately prepare the things you will bring tomorrow because we have to leave early in the morning".

Denis immediately stood up and left, but before his feet stepped he very quickly grabbed his wife's lips with a glance.

Nabila who is not ready just stupefied, while holding her lips that still leaves a soft touch of her husband's lips. Denis laughed as he walked into his room.
