Anara & Oktara

Anara & Oktara
8. Sincere Attention


Oktara deliberately bought grilled chicken first, while Anara deliberately prepared food on the table. But Anara suddenly felt worried because the person selling grilled chicken was not far from home. But until now why not go back and forth. And really the worry is growing when suddenly the rain plus the sound of thunder is quite loud alternating a few minutes later. Especially at home does not have a household assistant and also a security guard who guards the house. He picks up the phone on the table and calls Oktara to go home. 


Unfortunately I didn't get any answers. He can only play his phone in the living room while waiting and glancing towards the wall clock attached to the living room that looks bouncing into the dining room. "Hopefully Mas Oktara did not do anything else is also out of the rain." Although Oktara does not love her but worry still envelops her mind. 


A knocking sound was heard from outside, he immediately came out and opened the door to take 2 plastic bags given by Oktara and then lock the door. 


The rice that has been served has turned cold because about 15 minutes ago. When Oktara turned on her phone there was a call coming in from Anara, instead of asking why she called, she was angry and unclear! Dislike and discomfort was very really he said and blurted without thinking whether to feel offended or not with the words that came out. "You did the hell call me you'll already know if for example I bought grilled chicken outside for us to eat in the house, why are you even calling I know outside the rain?" 


Anara took the rice on the plate and put the grilled chicken on it. "Yes, if that is so you will eat to eat with us. Later if for example you why would I also bother!" 


There are no romantic words when eating at the dinner table. They are like people who do not know each other and only focus on the food in front of them. This is an example of one unhappy couple, on the basis of a mere attachment to their more like this. 


"Please dong you take my rice laper really because! Oh yes you can not do tomorrow morning do not need to make me stock to be taken to the office. Because there is a lot of food there so I think you do not have to bother bringing me stock."


"Yes, if that's so, I'm just worried that you're starving. But if you say you don't have to say yes it's not papa I won't make it anymore anyway," he nodded, who did not ask why he stopped to bring supplies to the office. 


"Yes already if that's what I went into the room first yes because I don't know why suddenly my head hurts, maybe just buy chicken roasted my head hit by rain water."


Oktara put her head on the bed. His head hurt from the rain and pulled the blanket in front of him. His body turned warm and hot. 


Anara finally followed into the room after finishing tidying the dining table when they had eaten together. "Why are you suddenly wearing a blanket usually not?" 


Anara took the initiative to hold Oktara's forehead, it turns out that hot forehead might be fever. Then open the drawer take a fairly thick handkerchief or towel below and then Anara take also directly that is below to be brought up to compress the forehead which if it can decrease the fever. 


He approached and compressed the hot water he had just taken to Oktara's forehead. "Why are you paying attention to me? Though all this time I was really evil with you and cuek?" The astonishing question from Anara made Oktara a little stunned by the words that were thrown. 


"So long as we have a Husband and Wife, it's a sign that we have our respective duties. We live a relationship in the likes and sorrows not also from the joy of prayer. So when one of us falls or gets sick then we should not avoid or stay away but we should take care of him until he recovers. Maybe your fever is not how much this can make your sins fade. How has your condition improved yet no effect?" 


Then Anara smiled with a slightly painful answer but she answered very wisely. "Love will grow out of habit, love and affection will be created by itself without us having to tell it and work hard to create. I'm sure you'll love me and I'm trying to love you now." 


"Don't think too much about mending you rest, Mas, thank you so much for saving my family shame in front of or in the middle of the neighborhood of people who do not like my family at home." 


Oktara nodded then told Anara to get a blanket under her feet and make her body feel warm. Oktara felt guilty but still there was no word of love in her. 


Oktara apparently fell asleep when several times compressed his body may have begun to lighten and the heat down. Anara slept beside Octara, because both eyes were sleepy after the Isya prayer had congregated before, before eating together. 


Lelap both eyes that make Oktara that releases compresses that are still attached to the forehead. The clock stuck in the room shows at 2 am. Looking at Anara who was fast asleep beside him. This is the first time he sleeps with the room, usually Oktara prefers to sleep in the room next to the empty, or even if they sleep with Oktara prefer to sleep on the sofa bedroom.


Oktara continued to sleep again. 


The sound of the dawn prayer began to be heard from across the street. Anara saw the compresses that had been removed and placed in a fire filled with water. He first went to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth to perform dawn prayers. Slowly he woke Oktara first to be able to collect his life in the body so that at dawn it became fit. 


"Yes, if you wash your face first and brush your teeth, I will be followed." Before entering the bathroom he first held Oktara's forehead which was still warm even though it was no worse than last night. 


"Today you're going to work?" 


"I don't know if I just get rain water that makes my head hurt. So I hope you don't worry too much. I'm going to the bathroom so we can change!" tell him to tell first, he wakes up his body. Oktara opened the curtains and turned off the lights because the sun was starting to look and very bright. 


Now it's Octara's turn to wash your face and brush your teeth. Anara took the ablution water with a separate place. Slapping prayer mats for congregational prayer together using mukena giving the first time application. 


He did not expect now to have a small family even though they are only two now and maybe someday will become a truly complete family member accompanied by cute children of course.
