There are people who can express themselves so easily as if it were no big deal if they did. And there are also people who are so difficult to express themselves even if it is a small action, especially about things that involve the privacy of the heart and feelings. 

For Christ and Agatha who are expressive and always assertive in the business and work environment in fact feel the difficulty when facing their respective feelings and decisions. It is not as easy as the big decisions they always take so far that the context and vision clearly they can predict and make sure.

But for feelings?

They were both completely blind to see the direction and future related to it. Anxiety that makes them instantly appear foolish in the face of affairs called hearts and feelings.

At 02:35 and two humans who lay down on each other's backs are both still awake. After a pretty heavy talk earlier, they again silenced each other on the way home somehow this time for what reason again.

Without words the two seemed to agree to give each other time, again.

The leaflets in each heart felt like they were sounding loudly so the two hugged the pillow as tightly as possible to hide. 

I'm sure you guys feel they're childish and stupid. But that's what happened with them. Dare not to make decisions with each other.

Christ had repeatedly adjusted his breath so that his heartbeat returned to normal but in vain, the more thought then the pounding was faster. He was happy that Agatha had chosen to take their relationship a step further, but he did not want to be seen expecting and forcing his wife. He wanted Agatha herself to decide without coercion.

Damnit.

I can't stop thinking and hoping. But it's not good if I ask her back, it feels like forcing right? — Inner Christ.

Turning his body slowly, he stared at Agatha's back that rose down in rhythm with her breath.

I should how?

Suddenly the woman he suspected was in deep sleep turned around so that their position was now facing each other.

"Sunshine, haven't you slept?" the question of stale bases that actually makes the heartbeat faster.

"You haven't slept yet?"

"I can't sleep."

"Because of my statement?" without caring about the man before him holding himself back desperately instead he asked the thing that became the source of thought.

"... yeah."

The distance of their faces which was only one inch made the awkwardness feel close.

"I know it's selfish, about my statement, can I ask for another deal?" this time Agatha's voice was slower and it seemed that the woman was also trying to control her nervousness.

The deal...?

Did Agatha want to cancel her remark earlier? — Inner Christ was anxious and slightly shrieked in disappointment.

"What deal?" his voice sounded like he was okay.

"We can 'do it' but I don't want to get pregnant," the sentence was finally delivered despite the weight of a life-and-death decision.

Christ's heart ached a little when he heard it. The happiness that had previously been present in his heart was now slightly eroded.

"You don't want to get pregnant?" his tricks made Agatha now look back at him with a sad look of apology.

"It's not like that, it's just that I need time. I know all this time I've been saying it, asking you for time without thinking about your feelings. But all this is hard for me Christ. What is in my heart is so complicated that from the beginning I kept my distance because I was not sure myself. I had to go through a lot of time to be able to little by little to accept everything," explained Agatha at length then sighing longly.

"I'm sorry, even if this isn't fair I hope you'll understand," in the end he'll always hurt Christ.

Although sick and disappointed, Christ tried to smile and gently caress his wife's face.

"It's okay, I get it. I'm glad you're willing to open up to me, although I initially insisted but I don't want to hurt your feelings either."

A thin smile was engraved on Agatha's lips, now she realized that the Christ she once disliked was a very nice man. It may be true what Joshua said that he deserves to be happy again.

This man faced it with patience with a long time. What man can be a husband without touching and having sex with his wife for more than a year?

That realization brought warmness to Agatha's heart, making her unconsciously erode the distance between them and slowly kiss her husband's lips slowly.

Christ who was 'attacked' suddenly still silent in his shock until the moment the consciousness greeted him again the man had returned his wife's kiss gently.

"Thank you."

Together they say the same sentence on the sidelines of the moment created, making them smile at each other and re-create a new moment that becomes the beginning for them.

Right, a start.

Because in the near future this morning they finally did what they should as a couple. Giving and receiving each other even though still with a deal. But this is the time that awaits after so long.

This was the first day that was also the first night for them.

It's never too late for a relationship when everyone is waiting for each other, right?

Joshua was a little upset that he had contacted Agatha but her best friend did not answer.

There was an important meeting with the company that would be their new partner in fashion and cosmetics products, and Agatha had previously agreed to attend it in person.

"Oh, come on Agatha. Don't worry me after what you told me yesterday."

She worries about her best friend who might have a fight with Christ given his stubborn attitude. And actually Joshua had contacted Christ as well but the same man could not be contacted.

"I should be worried because of work, not because of your domestic relations" she lamented.

The only way he can do that is to contact Leon and hope that the man knows where his cousin is.

"Hi, Leon. Sorry to interrupt your time this early in the morning" he said after his phone call was answered on the second ring.

'No problem, Josh. What's up?'

"Em, do you know where Christ is? I can't reach him nor Agatha."

'Oh! Same apparently! I'm also looking for Christ because I haven't been able to reach him. Though there is an important document that must be signed by him now.'

"Hahhh, I hope nothing bad happened because last night it didn't seem like they were okay."

'Oh, you know that? Christ was in a bad mood last night. He hurriedly left me to pick up Agatha.'

"really. I'm worried now. I hope they're okay."

At the same time, the two men were shocked by a message on their phones.

'Wait, Josh... Christ just sent me a message!'

"It gives a creep but Agatha also just sent me a message. I hung up on you, thanks."

Joshua hurriedly opened a message from the woman that made him worry about it.

Joshie, I'm sorry.^^^

^^^You contacted me 23 times out of worry..?^^^

I can't go to the office today.^^^

^^^ Can you take responsibility for today's meeting?^^^

^^^Speak my apologies and just tell me I have a sudden affair.^^^

Joshua's eyebrows frowned confusedly reading his best friend's message.

What was?

Did something happen?

You're all right, right?

^^^ I'm okay

Then why?

^^^My body hurts all.^^^

^^^ I think I should rest today.^^^

You ill?

^^^ No, not that kind of pain.^^^

^^Another pain.. oh, come on Joshie^^^.

^^You know what I mean.^^^

Joshua frowned more and more confused but a moment later a great understanding appeared in his head and made him palpitate and smile widely.

The answer to your confusion last night?

^^^Em.. can be said so.^^^

^^^ Yes, I want to sleep.^^^

And the way Agatha closed their conversation made her laugh amusedly. Her best friend has started a better change in her life.

While in another place Leon had laughed widely to find a message sent by his cousin.

^^^Don't bother me today.^^^

^^I'm not going to the office.^^^

^^^Send only the important documents to the apartment.^^^

^^^Ehem. and again, I have got the answer I wanted from what I told you last night.^^^

^^^^ Do you understand, right?^^^

^^^Don't bother me, okay?^^^

That was how the morning began with a little laughter and happiness from those close to them.

While the two people in question still paused their activities to give each other news, before resuming their activities that are either a few hours but will continue again in the next few hours in exchange for a long wait for the sixteen months of their marriage.
