Waiting for your Love to Grow

Don't Dawdle

The bell rang when the occupant of one of these apartments had just finished with his breakfast.

"That must be Mr. Gugun. You get ready, let me open the door" said Denis who then moved from his seat to open the door.

Mr. Gugun is seen standing aloud at the door, when Denis opens the door to his apartment. "Good morning, young master", greet Gugun. "Heemm", Denis answered briefly the greeting while putting both hands in his pants pocket.

"Later after you take my wife to the office, you can go home. Come back again when the office hours. Call me if you have completed your task. Let me know wherever he goes. And one more thing, you have to keep it safe" Denis said seriously.

Mr. Gugun nodded his head. " Good sir", he said firmly.

"I left first yes mas", said Nabila who was behind Denis. Nabila then took her husband's right hand, and kissed the back of her hand.

"Be careful, let me know if you get to the office" said Denis, who was signed by Nabila. Denis kissed Nabila's forehead, before they parted.

" Good morning Miss Nabila" said someone who was none other than Arsyad. He's in the apartment parking lot.

Nabila who walked after Mr. Gugun, returned Arsyad's greeting with just a small smile. She looked at her husband's assistant.

Nabila immediately got into the car, after Mr. Gugun opened the car door for him. Not long after, the car drove towards the office.

Shortly after Nabila left for the office with Mr. Gugun, Denis followed. Arsyad drove his car to the office after Denis got into the car.

"Now Miss Nabila is the driver, boss?"

"Hemmm", Denis answered briefly.

"Why not with the boss alone, it is more efficient boss" said Arsyad while glancing at the rearview mirror.

"I don't like my wife in other people's lyrics" Denis said, making Arsyad bow his head because he felt insinuated.

"One more thing, don't discuss my wife if it's not an important affair" Denis said.

"Sorry boss" said Arsyad.

Lunch time has arrived. As usual, Nabila will deliver lunch to Denis' room.

"Siang mbak Nab!", said Karina who saw Nabila walking closer to her desk.

"Siang miss Karina, tumben has not been to the cafeteria for lunch" said Nabila.

"But not yet, there is still a lot of work, gigs want to be left".

Nabila just smiled at Karina's explanation.

"Nganter lunch again mbak?", asked Karina while glancing at the lunch box that Nabila brought. Nabila.

"Mother food must be delicious Nabila mbak yes, to the extent that Mr. Denis subscriptions every day" said Karina. During this time Karina knew Denis ordered food to Nabila's mother. He also did not know that the person in front of him was the wife of his superior.

Nabila smiled in response to what Karina said. "I go in first, Miss Karina" said Nabila as she walked into Denis' room.

Denis, who was still busy with his computer, turned his attention for a moment toward the door of his room that someone opened. He pulled to her the tip of his lips, when he saw who the person who had come was.

"Eat first mas", Nabila walked over to Denis' desk.

Denis shuts down his computer and then goes around his desk. Taking Nabila's hand and leading her to the sofa.until on the sofa Nabila opened the lunch box she brought, and gave it to her husband.

"Let's eat, see it. Do not like the same menu?", asked Nabila when he found Denis just holding the stock. Denis shook his head.

"Keep?", Nabila brought her face closer, seeing her husband's facial expression.

Denis put the stock box on Nabila's lap. "Aaakk", Denis opened his mouth.

"Nab, tomorrow morning I have to go to Lombok" said Danis while chewing the food in his mouth.

Nabila raised her head, looking seriously at her husband's face. "How many days?"

"Two to three days" Denis rested his head on the back of the sofa.

Suddenly Nabila's face became grim and Denis realized it. "Actually I told Arsyad to leave, because I was still worried about leaving you in the meantime, but___“

Not until Denis finished his speech, Nabila interrupted. "It's okay, ma'am. Denis just go, I'll be fine", while feeding the rice in the spoon to Denis' mouth.

"You like it when I'm gone" Denis said, full of tears.

"Start again", Inner Nabila. He smiled faintly and then said, "Let's see if I look happy you want to stay!"

"Who knows you're cool, so you can stick with him" Denis said slowly.

"What's the mas, who is he?"

"Yes, who else if not my assistant"

"Astaghfirullah", Nabila stroked his chest. "Kan Nabila said mas, Nabila does not feel anything with him. Both then and now. Especially now that I'm married".

"You're finally like I'm going to go" Denis looked suspiciously at Nabila.

Nabila closed the stock box he carried and placed it on the table. " Yes, it's up to you, tired of talking to you, you don't believe me either". Then Nabila got up from his seat.

Denis, aware that his wife was leaving, grabbed her by the hand and pulled her back to sit down. After Nabila sat down, he shifted his body closer to his wife.

"It's not that I don't believe it, but I'm just making sure that you're okay if I leave" Denis said.

"But your words were mas, as if you were accusing me of being a no-no", Nabila folded her arms and pursed her lips, making Denis anxious to see her so that she smiled to herself.

"It goes without saying", Denis grabbed his wife's shoulder with one hand.

"As long as I'm not home, I'll take you to your mom's place or stay while you're at your house?", Denis gently rubbed his wife's arm.

Nabila shook her head, then looked towards Denis. "I live in an apartment, mom"

Denis turned Nabila's body facing him. "But I can't calm down, leave you alone in the apartment.

"You don't have to worry, I can take care of myself"

"No worries how, you almost did it yesterday. It can't be in your own apartment".

"The distance from home to office is very far, mas. Wouldn't it be any more risky if I was there? If papa's house, I do not know the people there must be very boring. In the apartment more comfortable, I can do whatever I want", said Nabila convincingly.

Denis summed up his wife's face with both palms. "Your case yesterday is not finished if you don't ask me to stop it. Then is it possible that I can calmly leave my wife alone, while the criminals are still wandering around?", Denis looked at Nabila grudgingly.

She let go of her breath slowly. "Yes, I nginep at home mommy aja" said Nabila with heavy. He still had a sullen face.

"Tomorrow morning I'll drive you to my mom's house before I leave, ok!"

Nabila just nodded at her husband's words, her face still bent.

Denis held Nabila's body in his arms. "I'm sorry, if you don't like my decision. Rest assured that I am doing this for your own good". He then gently kissed the top of Nabila's head.

"Don't long yes mas, go", Pinta Nabila with tightened the hug
