Women At the End of the Dusk

Graduation Sesil

...Happy Reading Guys ...

The full moon has passed several times, Azalia and Alham's relationship is getting more intimate. Alham treated his wife so well, even willing to leave his job for Azalia.

Like today, Alham actually had an appointment at eight, but Azalia asked him to accompany her shopping. "Mas, you have a meeting today?" ask Azalia.

Azalia's call has changed over time. However, one thing that is still awake today is the relationship between husband and wife. Azalia still had to strengthen her heart and Alham did not bother about it. Alham thought for the two to be close to each other first without involving it.

"Nothing. Why?" liar Alham while chewing fried rice.

"You're okay late? If you can, I ask you to buy me monthly shopping together to buy gifts for Sesil," said Azalia.

Alham who heard the name Sesil immediately turned to his wife who was sitting next to him. "Original? A bounty? Why does she give you a gift?" tanyakanya.

"Mas, how are you, anyway. She's next week graduation, time you don't know" Azalia pouted.

"Oh. I do not know and do not want to know" replied Alham Cuek.

Azalia tried to hold back her sense of regret. "So, how? You busy?" He came back asking questions.

"I'm with you." Azalia smiled broadly at the answer of her husband.

"Yey, thank you, Mas."

Alham chuckled at Azalia's childlike behavior of winning the lottery. How not, his wife displayed an adorable expression accompanied by a small clap, then continued to eat breakfast with a faded smile.

They continued a warm breakfast, as warm as arunika in the eastern horizon. Sometimes there is a small talk between the two.

...***...

Finally, the anticipated time came. The campus where Azalia used to study and Alham became his lecturer, now looks crowded in the rectorate. Various types of clothes and colors appear to decorate, many toga clothes are in the middle of the crowd.

"Morning, Sir, Ma'am" said the students who are ready to graduate today.

"Morning" replied Alham, smiling.

Unbelieving students get a reply. "My ears and my eyes aren't wrong, are they?" whispered one of the students.

"Seriously, did Mr Alham answer and smile? I'm not wrong, am I?"

The whispers were still heard by Alham, but he did not care and still stepped with his wife while holding hands.

Azalia who looked uncomfortable paused for a moment to make Alham stop. "Why?" ask Alham.

"Is there a mask?" Azalia's question made Alham wonder. The man in a navy batik suit observed the wife, and his outstretched hand touched the forehead of the woman wearing her matching suit.

"Not hot. What is the mask for?"

"I'm so worried about people's gazes."

"Just let them. We're here to celebrate Sesil's graduation. Relax, yeah. Now we meet them over there," pointed Alham at Sesil who was taking pictures with his friends. Not far from them, Mama Lana and Papa Bayu were busy talking to other parents.

"All right," resigned Azalia.

As they passed through the crowd of people who were being shrouded in happiness, Azalia seemed uncomfortable with some views from her new friends at graduation. However, he tried to keep the authority of the husband.

"Ma, Pa," said Azalia as soon as she got in front of her parents and immediately greeted them followed by Alham.

"How are you guys?" ask Papa Bayu while looking at the child and his daughter-in-law.

"Alhamdulillah, fine, Pa. Papa Mama how are you?" ask Alham.

"As you can see" replied Papa Bayu.

As they were chatting, Sesil suddenly came and stood between Azalia and Alham. "I don't think Alham will come." Sesil was pampered in the arm of Alham.

Alham tried to let go of Sesil's hand, but the girl clenched even more. He then looked at the wife who was silent as if asking for help. Meanwhile, Azalia who understood immediately put on a smile even though she was jealous.

"Sil, congratulations, yes. This is a gift from me and Mas Alham. Hope you like it, yeah." Azalia presented a bouquet of graduation dolls decorated with several accents of blue flowers. Simple, but looks luxurious and beautiful. "There's another gift. But, the prize is directly delivered to Papa's house," he added..

"False, yes, Brother. I'm really happy. Uh, we take pictures first, yuk." Sesil was so enthusiastic that his goal was to heat up Azalia.

...***...

The sun slowly began to charge from above his head. Azalia's family is currently in a restaurant for lunch while celebrating Sesil's graduation.

"What message do you want?" ask Azalia. He was looking at the menu book.

"Just like that."

Sesil who saw the husband and wife in front of him felt furious and clenched both hands under the table. His eyes could not be separated from the handsome face of Alham who continued to look at Azalia with a smile. So did Mama Lana who did not like Azalia and Alham.

Meanwhile, Papa Bayu was happy to see his son's household looking well and serene without knowing their initial problems.

"Lia, it's kind of jarring right now, yeah," said Papa Bayu. "There any signs?"

Papa Bayu's question kept Alham and Azalia quiet. Especially Azalia, all this time she has not given rights to her husband. "Just pray, Pa," he replied in doubt.

"Papa hopes, you can soon have children, Sesil succeeds with his plan, and Ilyas can come back here and be with us again. Papa just wants, Papa's old days are happy with gathering with you," explained Papa Bayu.

"I assure you of all Papa's prayers. For Brother Ilyas, let me contact him later. Now we don't selow just yet because today all are celebrating Sesil's graduation." Azalia grabbed the hand of Sesil who had been on the table.

Lying if Azalia doesn't feel guilty about her husband. He understands the rights and duties of husband and wife. But, until now the relationship is still not up to the stage of wanting to have children. He did not dare to ask about the child to Alham, afraid if only one-sided who wants.

"Why you?" alham asked when he saw Azalia eating like she was not lustful.

The woman with round eyes turned to the side, then smiled as she shook her head. "alright. Eat a lot, yes," said Alham.

The man in blue batik shirt resigned and no longer asked about the attitude of his wife who was not as happy as earlier. He was sure that something was troubling Azalia's mind. He will try to ask about it later when they are at home.

...***...

Full moon adorns the darkening sky that is getting closer. The stars look beautiful in view. The clanking clock has been shown at 21:34 AM local time, but a woman wearing a nightgown is still enjoying the view from the balcony of the room.

He kept staring at the full moon hanging beautifully up there. The woman's heart was completely overwhelmed with worry. 'Should I ask him? Or waiting for him to ask?' The woman continued to bathe in the cold wind that blew piercing the skin.

"Cock, not sleeping? It's cold here too." A pair of burly hands suddenly wrapped around his stomach made him extend in shock.

"You are a shock. Is the job done?" Not that she answered, the woman asked.

"What do you really think? From this afternoon your attitude changed and more silence. Talk to me if there is a problem that you can't solve on your own" Alham said, putting his chin on Azalia's left shoulder.

"There's nothing, really. I'm just too absorbed in enjoying the atmosphere tonight." Azalia wasn't completely lying because she was enjoying everything tonight.

Alham was not sure of his wife's answer. If a woman says it's okay, it means there's nothing. That's what he knows a little about his assistant and his best friend. He won't just give up.

Still hugging Azalia from behind, he asked, "The shop is safe?"

"Pure. I'm adding employees."

"So, what's the problem? Don't cover anything from me, Azalia. All the problems we face together."

"Mas, you .. want to have children?" asked Azalia doubtfully.

"All husbands and wives want children among them. Me included. Is that what you think?" Azalia nodded with a growing sense of guilt.

Alham smiled, then turned his wife's body. "Look, don't make this a burden. I will not force and wait until you are ready" he explained. "Never keep a problem or anything alone because you're not alone anymore." Alham grabbed the frail body of his wife.

"I'm sorry" said Azalia.

"It's okay. Now that we're asleep, it's late."

Azalia hoped her husband would never leave her as long as she was not ready. He will try to convince and strengthen his heart, that his last port is Alham, the husband who married him because of an accident.
