Waiting for your Love to Grow

Red Rose

Late at midnight, Denis just arrived at his apartment. After putting his suit and bag on the sofa in the living room, he rushed towards his room. I can't wait to see the woman he missed so much.

Denis opened the door to his room slowly, not wanting to interrupt his wife's break. His longing disappeared instantly when his eyes could catch the body of his wife who was now curled up on the bed. He approached her carefully.

Denis placed the bouquet of red roses he was carrying, on the nightstand. After he put away the phone next to his wife and covered her body with a blanket, Denis gave a warm kiss on her forehead and lips.

Denis got into bed after cleaning himself up. His hands deliberately looped into Nabila's stomach, before he finally followed his wife to close his eyes perfectly and go exploring to dreamland.

The sound of dawn awakens Nabila from her sleep. As if directly ruled by his brain, Nabila's hand felt where he was lying down, as if the owner of the hand wanted to make sure there was something next to him.

However, again Nabila had to be disappointed because of what he was looking for, he did not find. Even though last night she felt that the man she missed so much at the same time that made her heart hurt was hugging her tightly, even she felt her husband even gave a kiss on her face.

If usually after dawn prayers, Nabila will go down to the kitchen and do the homework, but not for this morning. He chose to go back up to the bed.

When a part of his body was attached to the bed, his eye lens was seized with something on the nightstand. With deft hands Nabila grabbed a bouquet of red roses last night brought by Denis for her.

He smelled deeply the fragrance of the flower that was now near his sense of smell. There was a calm feeling he felt, even for a moment. "That means Denis was here last night" she said.

"But why didn't he wake me up, even leave me this early without a word. What's that supposed?" Inner again. This time the tears escaped back from her eye patch which still looked swollen from last night's crying.

"Is he in the study?" Nabila tried to calm his mind. She got up and hurried out of the room to find her husband. Nabila looked at all the space in her husband's apartment, but the figure she was looking for did not find. He went back into the room with a shackle.

He grabbed his cellphone which turned out to be dead because it ran out of power. He immediately recharged his cell phone. Although only a few percent filled, he turned on the phone. With the phone on, a notification of incoming calls appeared up to 17 times last night from her husband's number.

Although she still could not shake the feeling of disappointment in her heart, she was slightly comforted by the notice, as it turned out that her husband last night still had time to contact her. Not long ago, several messages from the same number were actually sent a few minutes ago.

~*Sorry baby, I have to leave you again. I deliberately didn't wake you up, because it seemed like your sleep was very good.

And I don't want to bother you. I went to Singapore because I have business to finish, God willing tomorrow night I have returned ~ Denis

~Part yourself well baby. Don't forget to eat. If you want to leave the house, ask Mr. Gugun to take you. Remember, don't dress up too pretty, OK! ~Denis

~Rinduced me ~ Denis

~Because I also missed you~Denis*

After reading all the messages that she could not accept what her husband did. "After playing around with another woman, she sweetened up with me, then disappeared again without any explanation. What does he think I am?" his inner.

One day last night Nabila just locked himself in the room. He just lay on the bed. Only occasionally did he get out of bed just to go to the bathroom, pray or sit on the balcony looking for fresh air. Not a pinch of food entered his stomach, even though Bi Atik who is currently on duty in his apartment has seduced him to eat.

Because Denis could not contact his wife's mobile number which was deliberately turned off, Denis also chose to contact Bi Atik to get news about his wife. Finally the news of Nabila's condition reached Denis' ears, making the man decide to go home earlier than he had planned.

Denis was forced to return to Indonesia, without his papa mama who was supposed to come home with him tonight. By using a flight that afternoon, Denis finally arrived in Indonesia about an hour more. He immediately continued to travel to the apartment as soon as he arrived in the airport, by taking a taxi.

"My wife where's bi? Has he had lunch?" Denis asked, while giving his bag to bi Atik, then broke into the apartment and stopped in the living room when he heard Bi Atik's answer.

"Young lady is still in her room, sir. Madam still does not want to eat" said Bi Atik carefully.

There was an emergency letter adorning Denis' face. "Bi, please prepare lunch. I will accompany him to the meal", Denis ordered Bi Atik, then passed leaving the housekeeper to his room while rolling up his sleeves.

Denis turned the door carefully. He entered the room as soon as the door was partially open. He closed it again and walked to the bed, where a woman lay on it. Nabila who looked dreamy, did not realize the arrival of Denis.

"Darling!" Denis's voice and the reflection of the bed caused by Denis' tub that had just landed on him, made Nabila wake up from his daydream and turn towards the source of the sound.

Denis gasped when he found his wife's current condition. His face paled, his swollen eyes showed that the woman was crying too much and sleep deprived, her hair looked unkempt, likewise his dry lips indicate that something that goes into his digestion is minimal or even nonexistent.

"Why are you, Nab?" denis' voice sounded sad, as well as her eyes showing concern. His hands tried to get rid of the hair that covered his wife's face.

Instead of answering her husband's questions. Nabila who had been sitting on the bed even beat her husband's body hard. Denis did not avoid or prevent what his wife did, he actually pulled his wife's hand and hugged her tightly, even though Nabila tried to rebel.

Denis stroked the head fondly Nabila, so that made the woman began to subside her emotions. Slowly, she finally stopped beating her husband, although her crying could still be heard clearly in every corner of the room.

"Try telling me why you're this angry with me?" Denis asked while still hugging Nabila's body and stroking her head. But Nabila just crying did not answer the question. "Is it because I left without your permission? Or because I didn't answer your phone?” Denis asked again, but Nabila remained voiceless.

"If I'm wrong, I'm sorry. But you don't torture yourself like this. I'm sad to see your condition this way" Denis said softly.

"Let me go mas" said Nabila slowly, but still clearly in Denis' ear and made the man surprised.

Denis took off his embrace. Both of his hands were now clutching Nabila's arms, but they did not hurt him. His eyes looked at his wife's two eyeballs, trying to figure out what they meant. "Is my mistake so great that you want to get away from me?"

Denis shook Nabila's body because Nabila never opened his mouth, saying, "Say Nab! Let me fix my mistake. I've learned to love you, so is that lacking for you?" Denis's voice began to rise, accompanied by tears that just escaped from his eye peluk.

Nabila tried to release Denis' hand, and he managed to do so. "I'm tired, I'm not strong anymore with your skit and your behavior. Just let go of me and go find your own pleasure hu....hu....". Suddenly Nabila said in a high tone while crying so loudly.

"What drama? Which attitude am I?" Denis tried to control himself so as not to get out of control.

Nabila threw her phone in front of Denis, then got off the bed to the balcony. Denis only sees his wife leaving without any intention of going after him.
