Beginning of Forced Marriage
BDP. Part 17's
After a day yesterday accompanied Listi for a walk, today was the day of Arkan's return, he went home together with his nephew, but due to the condition of his nephew who was not well.
His nephew went to the hospital first, while Arkan went straight home after delivering his nephew to the hospital.
He came home in a car prepared by Ivan at the airport, because his friend was unable to deliver it as usual, so he had to bring the car himself.
When he opened the door of his house, he did not find the existence of Nayna in the living room, but usually at this hour, the young pregnant woman was watching television or sleeping on the sofa.
Arkan slowly stepped towards the kitchen, when his ears heard a noise from the kitchen, when he reached the doorway, he saw Nayna who was serious about his activities.
Even it seems like the petite woman who is wearing a short-sleeved shirt that is so fitting on her body, as well as the toenail pants like the knee, is not aware of its existence.
"Ekhem." Arkan cleared his throat slightly to make Nayna realize his presence.
However, he frowned and looked towards Nayna who looked startled because of her voice.
"O-om, Om when's it coming?" asked Nayna with a little hesitation.
"I just came, what are you cooking, why are you so serious, that you look shocked when you hear my voice?" Arkan walked into the kitchen, approaching Nayna's position.
"I'm cooking some meat stew Om, eummm. That– I was again focused on my cooking, so I did not realize that there was Om," said Nayna who had started to turn off the stove because the cooking was finished.
Arkan looked at Nayna in surprise again, hearing Nayna's still-dazzling tone, as if there was something he was hiding, but Arkan was not prejudiced.
He thought it was possible, Nayna spoke like that because she was just shocked.
"Om already having lunch, if we haven't had lunch together yet," Nayna asked, she spoke without stopping her activities moving her dishes to the serving plate.
"Alright come on, I happen to have not had lunch and am hungry too" Arkan said, then began to walk first to the dinner table.
"I'm ready to take everything."
Nayna arranged the side dish she had just cooked to the dining table, after which she took the rice that was still in the rice cooker and did not forget the dishes, along with the drinking water.
Arkan only noticed Nayna who was busy pacing it silently, in the midst of his busy attention to Nayna, suddenly the shadow about meeting him and Listi was again present in his head.
Yesterday he actually went with the woman, spent the whole day walking around, visiting some places, remembering yesterday's events, he was nostalgic for the past.
He used to travel together, when they were still dating, Listi is the type of woman who likes to walk, every place recommended, she must ask him to accompany her to go. And she always happily obeyed what she wanted.
"Om, why even daydream, he said hungry."
Hearing Nayna's voice, making her daydream about her past crumble, she looked at Nayna who was looking at her in surprise for a while, after which shook her head.
Nayna did not answer him anymore, she just nodded and did the same with him, after which they ate quietly, with no conversation happening until they were done.
"Did anything happen while I was gone?" ask Arkan who just finished sipping water after his meal is done.
"No Om" replied Nayna, shaking her head.
"Are you okay?" ask Arkan again with a straight look at Nayna.
"I'm fine, Om. No problems happened while Om was gone."
"It's good that it is." Arkan nodded and began to look the other way.
"If it's Om himself, is it okay there?" Now it was Nayna's turn to ask and look straight at Arkan.
"I'm fine" Arkan said with a nod of his head.
"Oh yeah, is Om's nephew okay too?"
"For now good." Arkan answered as he could.
"What's Om's nephew at school there? How many nieces do you have?" asked Nayna who subconsciously asked by putting on a very curious face.
Hearing Nayna's question, Arkan did not immediately reply, he only looked back at her then shook his head, making Nayna stare in surprise again at her.
"My nephew is one, my nephew is not in school there, but he is on medication" Arkan said after a brief moment of silence.
"Nephew Om sick?" the silly question that Nayna was throwing up involuntarily made Arkan subconsciously smile thinly.
"you reckon? Why do people get treatment if they don't get sick."
Nayna scratched her nape when she realized, if she had asked silly things, of course people are undergoing treatment because they are sick, if not, for what treatment.
"Oh yeah, yeah." Nayna finally chuckled because she was aware of the absurdity.
Seeing such a chuckling Nayna, Arkan involuntarily chuckled, creating a warm atmosphere between the two, even if only briefly.
When they realized what was happening, they suddenly went back to silence, silence and awkwardness was re-created, until Nayna finally started to get up from her chair and clean the dining table.
"I'm going to do the dishes first, Om," said Nayna, who began collecting the dirty dishes and taking them to the sink.
While Arkan gets out of his chair and goes to his room, leaving Nayna busy with her activities in the kitchen.
