FATE AND DESTINY
13. OBSESSED

Now it is time to arrive in the morning on a sunny day but the occupants of the house are still faithful in their beautiful dreams. Alika is still reluctant to open her eyes that feel heavy because of crying all night because of the act of tajudin. Ema who had just woken up heard a knock on her door. Ema immediately went from her mattress to the mirror to tidy up her appearance so as not to fall apart. After being sure he was tidy, he immediately rushed to the guest room to open the door of his house which was knocked earlier. Ema who saw the tajudin coming could not resist her long prank like a rope.

"Astaghfirullahal'adzim tajudin! Where have you been? Don't make your wife shed tears every day just because of your behavior!" Said Ema staring at tajudin with her sharp eyes.

"I just want to calm myself outside!" Answer tajudin guiltlessly as he steps his foot in.

"Hm. Ye know? Alika all night waiting for you to fall asleep disofa! Don't you have any pity!" Said ema snorted annoyedly who saw her daughter-in-law walking leisurely leaving her who was still talking.

Tajudin who left ema with his long babble just shook his head while stepping towards his room. But ema who saw his daughter-in-law's behavior snorted annoyed and left her to go to the bathroom to clean up. Tajudin opened his room slowly for fear of disturbing alika who was still sleeping. Tajudin saw the puffy and swollen eyes of alika, he felt guilty for making alika hurt because of her behavior. Tajudin sat on the edge of the bed looking at Alika who was still sleeping peacefully.

"You are beautiful, alika! I used to be so obsessed with wanting to have you all! But after marriage you refused me to sleep! In this case I am guilty. But I know you don't love me! Who's the lucky guy to get your heart?" Tajudin murmured in his heart by staring at the face of the sticky alika without blinking.

Tajudin continued to gently caress alika's head until alika felt disturbed because of the tajudin's actions that disturbed her. Alika blinked her eyes to neutralize her eyes that were so heavy from crying all night. Alika who saw the tajudin was already beside him while smiling knot staring at alika.

"You're home yet? Where were you last night?" Alika asked in a hoarse voice while waking up from her sleep to sit leaning against herself.

"Sorry! I just want to calm down!" Answer the tajudin who was still staring at alika without blinking.

"Ooh. Have you eaten?" Alika asked who was a little worried because last night when the tajudin left had not filled her stomach.

"Not yet! But I'm not hungry!" Sahut Tajudin bowed his head while shaking him and playing his finger by twirling it in the mattress.

"Hm. Actually you are sick or what? Sometimes he's soft, sometimes he's rude, even yelling when he talks! Did I marry a depressed man?" Muttered alika in heart while staring at the tajudin who was beside her."Do you want me to make you some hot tea?" Tanya alika who felt pity looked at her husband with a weak condition.

"Can you make tea?" Tajudin said back to ask alika with a surprised look while squinting both eyebrows.

"I can actually do everything! Even cooking for you I can! But I don't know what to cook in your house because there are no ingredients to cook!" Said alika explained to tajudin about himself with an ordinary expression only

"Alika! Can I ask you something?" Tajudin asked with a serious expression.

"Can. Please ask me what you want to know about me?" Ask alika with a welcome tone and want to establish a relationship with her husband even better.

"Do you love me? Or is there still someone in your heart?" Tajudin asked with an intense gaze staring at alika in front of him.

"Why are you asking that?" Alika was nervous and confused not knowing what to answer.

"Sorry! I can't answer your question!" Sahut alika and immediately went from his mattress to the door of the room but his hands were held by the tajudin.

"I beg alika! Don't be like this. I love you so sincerely! Don't torture me for that!" Said Tajudin who had stood up and released his hand and hugged him from behind.

"Do you really want to know about this? I also as a woman don't want to know what your past is like! All I know is you are my husband now. That's all!" Sahut alika at length and did not want to discuss his past on tajudin with the position of tajudin still hugging him from behind.

"I just want to know the lucky guy who got your heart and how to get yours!" Tajudin, who is obsessed with alika.

"I still love my ex-boyfriend! I've been trying to forget it for a year. But it's hard to forget." Sahut alika without looking at the face of her husband who hugged her from behind.

"How did he get your heart?" Tajudin asked in a curious tone.

"He got my heart because of his gentle demeanor. Always understand what I want and understand me when I'm not in the mood!" Clearly alika was at length and released the tajudin hand that hugged alika's stomach tightly.

Without looking, she walked out of her room. Alika stepped towards the bathroom and wanted to clean herself up without taking a shower. Alika looked at her mirror face in front of her. And she was surprised to see her puffy eyes from crying all night. Alika touched her eyes gently and returned her tears. Alika came back crying after seeing tajudin being gentle to her. Alika did not know because of what tajudin suddenly behaved like before. Alika only guesses with her own thoughts without thinking negatively. After cleaning her face, Alika came back out of the bathroom and looked for her mom somewhere. Alika continued to call her mother by looking over and over with a little quick step. Alika also opened her room but still did not see her in her room. Until alika steps to get out of the house and see the yard clingukan looking for his mother. After looking for him, Alika breathed a sigh of relief because she was cleaning her yard and watering the plants of alika's grandparents.

"Mah! I'm looking around here and there, it turns out Mama's here?" Alika said as she stepped closer to ema.

"Ooh this. You clean the yard every morning and water your grandparents' plants!" Sahut Ema is still busy watering her plants.

"Mama has breakfast?" Ask alika while helping ema clean up the fallen leaves.

"Mama had breakfast. Have you had breakfast? If not already there is a tempe mendoan for breakfast side dishes this morning. Mama's looking for all the eggs in the hut. So mama made tempe mendoan leftover tempe yesterday is still good to eat!" Say long ema wide while styling a messy alika's hair.

"Yes, I'll eat when I'm hungry!" Sahut alika with a knotty smile and crouched back picking up the falling leaves.

"Are you still fighting with your husband?" Asked the curious ema who saw alika's face a little gloomy.

"No mah! He apologized to Alika. His attitude was also gentle, unlike last night when he was shouting!" Clearly alika covered the ugliness of her husband for the good of his relationship with tajudin without the interference of his mother.
