Waiting for your Love to Grow

First Experience

Everyone gathered at the dinner table for dinner. Nabil had already brought rice and side dishes for her husband and herself.

"Ma, I just met Vanya" Denis said after swallowing the last mouthful of food on his plate.

Her mother who heard, was shocked and choked. He coughed - coughed. Papa reflex patted his back slowly, then poured water into a glass for his wife.

"Mama's okay?" Tanya Nabila was gentle, with a worried look.

"It's okay, baby", replied Mama Denis, putting the empty glass on the table.

" Ma, did the other day you were talking on the phone about the woman I'd be betrothed to is Vanya?", Denis asked with a full glance at his mother.

"Dear, did he talk about that?", asked Denis' mother somewhat hesitantly.

"Hemmm", Denis answered briefly while nodding his head.

"When, forgive mama yes" said Mama Denis slowly, while reaching and grasping the fingertips of Nabila in front of him.

" Mommy used to plan to match Denis with Vanya, the son of papa's business partner. But when you know Denis wants to marry with his choice, of course, mama intends not to continue the matchmaking plan. Especially now that you know that your mother-in-law is you, of course you will not continue the matchmaking" said Mama Denis, while looking at her daughter-in-law closely.

"But Mama had not met Vanya's parents to convey the cancellation, because mama had not met. It's not good to talk on the phone" added Denis' mother.

"Sorry mommy yes dear" said mom Denis while looking at Nabila and Denis alternately.

" It's okay, ma. Nabila can understand", while putting his palm on the back of his hand in-laws.

"Thank you dear" said Denis' mother as she walked to Nabila and kissed her daughter-in-law's forehead.

"Now rest" said Denis' mother, who then walked to her room.

Nabila and Denis finally went into the room. They both occupied Denis's room, because there was no way they would have to separate the rooms in his parents' house.

Nabila came out of the bathroom after changing her clothes to sleepwear. At first he wanted to immediately lay down the bed, but seeing Denis on the bed he broke his intention.

Nabila picked up a pillow and a blanket to sleep on the sofa. But when Nabila was about to step up, Denis held Nabila's hand.

"Where are you going?" asked Denis

" I'll sleep on the couch, you sleep here" said Nabila

"Nab, are you still angry?" I know why you suddenly took me home, are you angry with me?", said Denis, staring at his wife's face.

"Why should I be angry? I have no right to be angry? I'm a nobody" said Nabila, turning his face away from Denis.

"Sit down", Denis pulled Nabila's wrist slowly so as to make Nabila sit on the bed.

Denis shifted his body closer towards Nabila, in the presence of his wife who was bowed.

"You have every right to be angry with me, Nab. When I make a mistake. Because I'm still your husband. Get angry if I exceed my limits" Denis said.

Denis held Nabila's back head, slowly brought his head closer and warmly kissed his wife's forehead, then whispered, "sleep".

What Denis did made Nabila wrong and embarrassed. Nabila did not move from where he sat. Denis gets out of bed and into the bathroom to change his clothes.

Nabila still did not change his position, when Denis appeared to have come out of the bathroom. Denis only wore boxers and singlets at the time.

"Why hasn't she slept yet?", asked Denis as he walked to the bed and climbed on top of her.

"Yes I'm going to sleep", standing with a blanket and pillow.

" Just sleep here, your body will hurt all if you sleep on the sofa. I'm not gonna do anything. After all we are husband and wife what's wrong if sleeping seranjag" Denis said, smiling when he saw Nabila's expression that seemed shocked when he heard the last words of Denis' speech.

Nabila sleeps on Denis' back. He tried to close his eyes, but still could not make him sleep. While Denis who was not sleepy just fell silent staring at Nabila's back.

Long silent atmosphere, suddenly Denis opened his mouth, "Nab, have you slept?"

Nabila simply replied by shaking his head.

"Tomorrow to take another walk?" Ask Denis.

Again, Nabila just nodded her head, her position was still turned back to her husband.

"Nab, emmm...so far what was your relationship with Arsyad?", asked Denis with some hesitation.

Nabila frowned, trying to examine Denis' question. Then they turned around so they faced each other and the distance was very close because Denis was in the middle of the bed.

They looked at each other for quite a while. Just shut up without anyone talking. Their breathing sounds were even heard from each other. Until suddenly Denis flicked Nabila's hair that covered his face ayu, then tucked it behind the ear.

Pipi Nabila seemed to be blushing because of embarrassment to find such Denis treatment. He was about to turn his body back, but Denis held it by pulling Nabila's hand until Nabila's position was even closer to Denis.

"Stay like this", Denis' voice shrieked. " And answer my question" Denis continued.

"Which question?", asked Nabila. The situation he was currently facing seemed to make him forget the question given by Denis earlier.

"Arsyad", Denis's voice pressed the word, then he changed his position to supine.

"What relationship? Yes he is my superior and I am his subordinate", replied Nabila unsure.

"It's not a working relationship, it's your personal relationship with him" Denis said.

"I have nothing to do, except___"

"Except what? He proposed to you and you never told me" Denis said in an emotional tone.

Nabila was silent for a moment, watching her husband's face from the side, then she said, "He did propose to me, but I never had anything to do with him, except a working relationship. And I refused because I had no feelings" said Nabila.

Denis again changed his position to face Nabila.

"Why didn't I ever tell you that? Because for me it's not something important to talk about. Moreover, it has happened for a long time, even I have forgotten", continued Nabila, while looking fixed in the eyes of her husband.

"Nab.".", Denis's voice was shriveled. Nabila who heard his name called, did not respond at all. She was still staring at the handsome face of her husband.

Suddenly Denis gently stroked Nabila's cheek, bringing her face closer. And kissed his wife's lips gently.

Nabila who had not been focused before, was stunned by what Denis did. He did not return the kiss but did not reject it either. This is Nabila's first experience.

Long Denis did that. The kiss deepened, but eventually he ended it because Nabila pushed Denis chest because he could not breathe.

Nabila looked so embarrassed that she had to drown her face in bed.

Denis, who saw his wife's funny behavior, seemed to smile happily. He stroked Nabila's hair, then kissed his wife's cheeks and forehead. After that he whispered into Nabila's ear to make her goosebumps, "Go to sleep".

Denis wrapped his hand around Nabila's stomach. Nabila just resigned to the treatment of her husband. They finally fell asleep.
