Dusk (And Taste)
Chapter 20


The show was completely finished at 12:30.


Nadhira and Reyhan enter the same room. The room they would temporarily use to rest their tired bodies before they returned home. Room to be used overnight while menginao at the hotel.


After changing into clothes, clean yourself. Reyhan went to perform the prayer in a mosque not far from the hotel with several male families. While Nadhira and other women perform prayers in their respective rooms.


After performing one of his duties as a Muslim, namely prayer. Nadhira tidied the face and prayer mat that he used earlier. Then sit cross-legged and support his face with both hands. Scrutinizing every inch of the room that has been conjured in such a way. With shades of pink combined with green toska it in the decoration with roses so many. In each corner of the room on display is a large flower fitting filled with fresh red roses.


While waiting for the return of her husband from performing the prayer of the Zuhr in the mosque. Nadhira plays his phone to take advantage of time so he does not feel bored. Nadhira smiled to herself at the message of her marriage sent by her friends. Some families are also unable to attend the wedding.


The door of the room was knocked and opened. Nadhira turned to the door and found her husband still wearing a koko outfit complete with a sarong and black peci. Reyhan approached Nadhira and sat down beside him.


“Al, have you eaten ?” reyhan asked gently while stroking Nadhira's hair which was still covered in her instant hijab.


“Udah. But I only ate bread this morning. Brother already ma... uh wait a minute.” Nadhira replied while putting the phone carelessly.


“Why, Al ?” Reyhan knitted his brows at Nadhira's suddenly worried expression.


“Kak kok pale ? What is sister sick ?” nadhira asked so worriedly.


“Ngak. I'm not sick. Maybe tired and all night I have trouble sleeping. Gerogi and thoughts continue with our marriage.”


“Created ?” nadhira asked half-believed


“Iya, dear, "Reported Reyhan in a soft voice.


Nadhira blushed and her cheeks began to blush at the words of affection spoken by the man who was only a few hours ago legitimately became her husband.


“The cheek is red?” Reyhan tries to tease Nadhira.


“Ngak. Its nothing. Brother ate ?” nadhira asked to switch the conversation.


“I ate with Papa, Dad, Abang and Farhan after prayers from the mosque. You eat first, huh, honey? Let me order the food.”


“Hmmm Nadhirra said shyly to her husband.


“From morning you haven't eaten this loh, Al. Just eating bread. I don't want to if you get sick later. Eat yes, Darling ?” Reyhan spoke as gently as possible persuading his wife.


“But I'm not a laper. Really.”


“You can wait until when hmmm ?” Reyhan flicked Nadhira's forehead until Nadhira grimaced and held her forehead.


“Aww. pain tau, Kak.” Nadhira paused and put his lips together.


“Iya. Ja. I'm so sorry. Don't pout. Later beautiful lost.”


Nadhira and Reyhan's chatter came to a halt when suddenly the sound of the door being knocked.


“Dek!” Call Mother a little scream.


“Mother, Sister. I open the door first, yes.”


Reyhan just nodded. Nadhira walked to the door and opened the door for the Mother.


“Iya, Mother.”


“This is a meal first, Dek. From the morning adek has not eaten, right ?” Mother gave a tray containing two servings of food and drinks to Nadhira.


“Thank you, Mother. Don't go in first what, Bun ?”


“Ngak. Fear of disturbing the newlyweds.” Whisper Mother in the ear of Nadhira.


“Apaan anyway, Mother. It's not okay. Reyhan also just returned from the mosque. "


“No, Honey. Yes, I ate there with my husband. Mother go, yes.”


“Iya, Bun. Thanks very much. "


After the departure of Mother. Nadhira closed the door again and walked over to her husband.


Nadhira finds Reyhan already asleep by hugging the bolster. So yummy.


“Kalo is not built the food will be redundant. I can eat this much. But if built up also kasian. I think Reyhan's sister is really tired.”


Nadhira stared at the tray that contained the food she still held and alternated by staring at her husband who was fast asleep.


It was clear in Nadhira's heart that it was heartless to wake the sleeping man with the still pale face. Nadhira put the tray on the nightstand. And...


“Kak, wake.” Nadhira decided to wake Reyhan up with a slight pat on his shoulder slowly. Very slowly.


“What's up, Al ?” reyhan asked with a distinctive hoarse voice of waking up.


“Mmmm we eat yuk, brother. Mother had brought us something to eat. If I eat alone will not run out of this food.” Nadhira said shyly.


“I ate already. You eat, yes.”


Nadhira glanced with a soft tray that he placed on the bedside nightstand. Reyhan who saw the change of his wife's face changed the position to sit leaning on the back of the bed.


“Ya let's eat.”


“Truly ?” Nadhira asked with a cheerful face and sparkling eyes.


“Iya, Darling.”


Nadhira quickly took a plate of rice complete with side dishes and gave it to her husband.


“Thanks.” Reyhan smiled and happily accepted the food Nadhira gave him.


Nadhira sat facing Reyhan with the same dish in his hand.


“Berdo’a used to eat, Dik. What we eat is a blessing. "


Nadhira nodded. Then both recite do’a in the heart.


They eat in silence. Only the frenetic from outside who filled the first lunch of Nadhira and Reyhan after bearing the status of being a married couple.


Every now and then Reyhan steals the sight of his wife who is eating solemnly.


“Dik ?”


Nadhira raised her face and looked at her husband who was smiling at her.


“Eat it don't kayak little boy gini dong, Darling.” Reyhan said while cleaning a grain of rice attached to Nadhira's lips with his hands.


Nadhira gasps with Reyhan's treatment of her.


“Kak ?”


“Hmmm.” Reyhan replied without looking at Nadhira.


“Kan brother stay say aja. I can clean it myself.”


“But the one who wants to clean up is myself. Not told to be with you.”


“Thanks.” Nadhira said with a bowed face.


“Spend the meal, Honey. After this you rest. I'm sure you're definitely very tired."


Nadhira just nodded and followed what her husband said. Eat the rice on his side until the toilet.


“Udah to eat, Dik ?”


“Iya, Brother. Here's the plate let me finish first.”


“Drink first, Darling.”


“Oh yes I forgot. Nih.”


Nadhira offered a glass of water to her husband. Then take care of the dishes they used to eat earlier.
