The journey 13

Arvan who felt his hand held back stopped his steps and looked back. Look at Zia who is standing behind him.

"What's wrong?" arvan asked, looking at Zia and aligning her body with Zia.

"Slow down his leg hurts." Said Zia while looking down. He was embarrassed to complain that his legs hurt Arvan. Because from the beginning Arvan has told me not to use rights that are too high will be sick. But if not stubborn is not Zia her name.

Without saying much, Arvan squatted down in front of Zia.

"What do you want?" asked Zia who was made surprised by Arvan's actions.

Arvan did not answer. Arvan instead revealed a little of the bottom of Zia's dress and showed Zia's legs wrapped in socks. Arvan was shocked because he only found out that Zia was wearing shoes this high. It seemed like the shoes that Zia was wearing today were over 7cm.

"Why wear shoes this high if it hurts yourself?" ask Arvan as gently as possible so as not to look upset. Though to be honest Arvan was a little upset because his advice was not followed. Arvan took off Zia's shoes. He stood beside Zia, holding Zia's shoes. 

"Why should it be this high if it hurts itself?" asked Arvan again because the question had not been answered.

"Abang dong's self-conscious, brother's body was too high. If you do not wear shoes like this will not look beautiful when in the guarantee earlier" said Zia while pointing towards the unloaded pelaminan.

Arvan tekekeh, it turns out that Arvan only realized if the height of Zia just under his shoulders. Maybe their height difference is about 25 to 30 cm. 

"I'm sorry if you're wrong for being too tall. Adek wait a minute. Sit here first." said Arvan as he led Zia to sit on a chair. Then Arvan walked away from Zia. 

"Where are you going? Kok ninggalin." whined Zia to Arvan who was already far away.

"Beauty a minute" said Arvan.

Not long Arvan returned with hotel sandals.

"Wear this first yes temporarily. Or do you want a big brother?" Bargain Arvan

"That's okay. Adek wear this alone." replied Zia nervously and immediately took the hotel sandals from Arvan's hands.

"It's still a shame to be embarrassed" said Arvan quietly but could still be heard by Zia.

"Thank you Brother." said Zia.

"Not free."

"Ma... Meanin?"

"Later in the room." Zia stopped her steps again.

"Kidding. Let's go to the room. Rest is what it means. Don't worry" said Arvan.

They walked back to the room.  Arvan's right hand held Zia, and his left hand held Zia's shoes.

"How many high heels do you have?" asked Arvan to open the conversation. Because Zia had suddenly been silent since Arvan said earlier.

"That's not much."

"Thank you if not much. Let brother also not bother to share it with the person."

"Kok shared?"

"Because you don't like to see Adek wear shoes like this. Danger." said Arvan.

"Yaudah biarin later if the road is the same brother, adek use flat shoes aja. Let it be short, let people think that brother is the father again momong son." replied Zia. Arvan laughed at Zia's words.

From a distance actually Rivan noticed their interaction since earlier. Rivan just smiles and is grateful his sister has now become the wife of a good person like Arvan, who looks very fond of his sister and hopefully forever will continue like that.

After being in the room Zia immediately sat on the sofa. Walking from the ballroom to his leg room became more and more painful. Zia also immediately took off her socks. Seen her smooth white legs are now flushed, Arvan who saw not much comment, he just took a basin of warm water from the pantry.

"It's soaked in warm water first so as not to hurt anymore" said Arvan while putting warm water in front of Zia's feet.

"Eh I's.. Thank you brother." Answer Zia.

"What's the first clean-up?" Arvan said to Zia.

"Yes, Adek also want to remove makeup first." replied Zia.

When Arvan came out of the bathroom, he did not see Zia in the room.  Where's that wife? But Arvan saw his clothes were already prepared on the bed. T-shirts and shorts, that's the outfit Arvan used to wear while sleeping.  Zia already knew because she had already asked Vina about Arvan's daily clothes.

Arvan waits for Zia while playing her cell phone.  It's only been 20 minutes since Zia's returned. Zia enters by using a sleeping robe. Zia walked towards the other side of the bed.

"Where are you from?" arvan asked as Zia was already sitting on the bed.

"That was in Vina's room cleaning there. Adek also asked for please remove makeup and take off clothes. Because it's hard to take off your own clothes." replied Zia.

"Oh that. Yaudah yuk we rest at 02" said Arvan, turning off his room lights.

"Don't you?" call Zia a little nervous.

Arvan who understood what Zia was going to ask spoke directly without waiting for zia to utter her question.

"Sleep yeah.  Calm down, you're not gonna do anything tonight.  We're both tired now." Arvan answered before Zia asked her question.

Zia felt very embarrassed, because she had not asked but her question was guessed and could be answered by Arvan. Because I am ashamed to sleep in bed. Zia slept on Arvan's back.

Arvan tightened her body at Zia wrapped her hands around Zia's waist. If asked if Arvan is not awkward? The answer is the same Arvan is also awkward. But if it's both awkward then who's going to start? Zia's? Small possibility. So yes Arvan who should be able to start and eliminate little by little awkwardness between them.

Not wanting Arvan to act, Zia slowly turned her body to face Arvan.  Zia was shocked because now her body and Arvan are very close. But Arvan calmly tightened his arms so that their bodies were now attached.

Just imagine the king size bed, now only used next to it.  If only the bed was like a seesaw that must always be balanced maybe they have now been rolled over because of the next weight. 

At 04:30 Zia just woke up from her sleep.  Ah because of their tiredness until bad luck. His sleeping position was still the same as last night Zia was still in Arvan's arms. Before waking up, Zia first checked her body under the blanket.

"Huh safe" he said slowly.

Zia tried to get up, then walked to the bathroom to take a shower before dawn prayers, so was Zia's habit. 

"Abang Bangun, it's time for dawn." said Zia who just finished bathing, patting Arvan's shoulder blocked by the blanket.

Not long after Arvan woke up. 

"Dear morning" he said with a smile and then got up and approached Zia.

"What do you want?" said Zia who saw Arvan was already nearby.

Without Zia's permission, Arvan kissed Zia's cheek. 

"Morning kiss dear." she said as she walked to the bathroom.

"Abaaanggg I have ablution" said Zia annoyed, because it means Zia must ablution again.

"Salah yourself morning already perfumed seductive brother huh?" he said, closing the bathroom door.

Zia's upset. But strangely Zia even smiled to herself. He went to ride ablution in another room. But first he prepared clothes for Arvan. 

When out of the bathroom Arvan does not use anything just using a towel on his waist. Zia who saw that instantly turned her face away. Arvan just smiled then put on the clothes that Zia had prepared.  Then approached Zia to perform the congregational dawn prayer. Arvan did not pray in the mosque because he was too late. As usual, Zia kissed Arvan's hand and Arvan kissed Zia's forehead. 

"What's normal in the morning? Let's prepare. "ask zia slowly

"Not necessary now. Brother wants to stay here first now" he said as he looked at Zia.

Arvan tightened his seat on Zia while clasping her hands.

"Adek is now brother's wife. Even though it's only been a day and we still need a lot of time to get to know each other and understand each other. But brother wants us to open up to each other, there is anything with good or bad adek do not hesitate to tell brother. My brother always has to tell me.  Adek do not hesitate the same brother do not be ashamed of the same brother.  Tegur brother, remind brother that later in the future brother is misguided in conquering the ark of our household" said Arvan while staring in Zia's eyes. 

Arvan brought her face closer to Zia's.  She kissed Zia's forehead gently.  Then yes kiss the eyes of Zia who is shedding tears. 

Dreett Dreett voice hp zia, a sign of an incoming call.

On the phone

Father: Assalamualaikum is awake, right?

Zia: wa'alaikumsalam what is it? 

Father: Mother's father and brother want to say this. Can Arvan get out of Lamar first?

Zia: This is it?  Uh yes can be the same brother Arvan out now.

Father : Yes. My brother has to work. Yes, we wait for ya.  Assalamualaikum

Zia: Uh yes waalaikumsalam.

Finished Zia picked up the phone, Zia spoke to Arvan who was looking at her.

"Abang, mother's father and Rivan's brother want to leave. We go out first yuk." Zia told the arvan

"Oh yaudah come on." Arvan stood up from his seat. 

While Zia releases and folds her face after that wearing a long bergo that covers her chest.

When outside it turns out not only the Zia family is alone but almost everything. They have to get back into their routine. 

After saying goodbye to everything. Zia and Arvan return to the hotel room. Zia tidied up her things and Arvan because this afternoon, they too will go home but do not know where to go. Arvan has prepared a house for him with Zia.  But he hasn't told me yet because the plan will be a surprise.  And the house was not there because Arvan wanted Zia herself to arrange all kinds of furniture. 

"Where are we going to go home?" ask Arvan.

"A.a.i'm up to you" said Zia nervously sensing something was heating up on her cheeks.

"We stayed at my brother's house a week after that at my mother's father's house a week how?" said Arvan offers.

"Can. How about the rest?  If that's just for the next two weeks." asked Zia.

Arvan is confused to answer what else. There was no way that right now he had a surprise for Zia.

"Later find a contract. Before you get a home loan, it's okay? We start together from zero. How's it?" answered Arvan out of inspiration from where he arrived to answer like that.
