HIDDEN WIFE
Can I Sleep Here?

Alika sat in front of the dressing table with a bent face. Ever since going into the room to clean his face from the coffee flush, he had unceasingly grumbled in annoyance.

Dirga even had to act as a breathing wall that chose silence to hear all the ravings of his wife. It is better for him to be quiet. He was used to face the anger of Alika who sometimes overflowing even if only for trivial things.

"I don't want to know, Dirga! After Zav can escape the breast, Lula has to leave the house."

Silent! There was no answer from the man.

"Dirga!"

"Stop Als!" snapping makes Alika jump. "I'm getting tired of you. For a trivial thing like this, you can be that angry. Remember, was I ever angry when you came and went? Did I ever forbid you to do anything you want?"

Alika silently looked at Dirga through the mirror reflection.

"I closed my eyes and ears to all that. So don't try to test my patience again."

Without heeding the tears that had soaked his wife's face, Dirga lay on her back by covering her head with a pillow.

It had been two hours Dirga flipped his body on the bed, but could not close his eyes. Lula's shadow kept haunting him.

Remembering the first time she met almost a year ago, Lula was just a simple girl and what she was. Who would have thought, the meeting that night took them to the wedding and Lula is now the mother of her child.

A piece of regret began to shadow his heart. How Dirga had made a terrible mistake by neglecting his wife during her pregnancy.

Lula's asleep yet, huh? That question had filled his mind since.

He exhaled a long breath, looked at the ceiling of the room and tried to close his eyes. A few minutes passed ...

Damnit damnit! Dirga cursed in the heart.

Condemning a stupid thing called longing that is unlucky is getting more and more unbearable. Lula had filled his memory, even now Dirga felt like she was going crazy because of that longing.

Samperin ah ah. The leopard is also sleeping. While glancing at Alika who was asleep by her side, Dirga grabbed the blanket very carefully so that Alika did not realize her movements.

Lega .... Dirga looked at Alika who was still at home with her position. Looks like the woman is really good.

Dirga immediately went out of the room, towards the room that was one wall with his room. Three times he knocked on the door very slowly and waited for a while, then Lula opened the door.

"What's wrong?" lula asked in astonishment at her husband who was now standing firmly in the doorway.

"Sorry disturb the nights. have you slept?" dirga asked with a thin smile painted on the corner of her lips.

Lula shook her head slowly. "No, Mas. Zav hasn't slept yet."

"What, it's already night. Why isn't she sleeping?" Dirga turned his gaze to the tiny body figure lying on the bed.

Without excuse, he stepped into the room. A wide smile was re-engraved on her lips staring at the adorable face of her son. He sat on the edge of the bed and held the little baby.

Lula shut the door and locked it from the inside. It would be quite risky if Alika found Dirga in her room and Lula really did not want the woman to scream and surprise Zav.

"Dad's son why stay up anyway?" said Dirga fondled her son. He played his nose on the baby Zav's delicate cheeks, sipping on the baby's distinctive scent emanating from his son's body.

"He does that often, my friend. At this hour wake up, sleep at three or four." Lula sat down by her husband's side. Occasionally stroking the top of Zav's head.

Dirga also stared at the clock attached to the wall that had pointed at the number two.

"Zav wants to sleep with dad, so he hasn't slept." Dirga's speech created a red tinge on Lula's cheeks. Since that night, they have never slept in one more bed.

"Relena ..."

"Yes, Mum."

"Looks like Zav wants to sleep with me. So I can't sleep at this hour. Do you not mind? Can I sleep here?"

The deg!

Lula smiled thinly. His head was immediately bowed. Do not forget the red hue that is increasingly visible on both sides of his cheeks.

"Dirga, where are you?" Alika's voice sounded from outside the room. Lula and Dirga looked at each other.

"That's Miss Alika, Mas. If he finds out you're here, he'll kill him."

"Leave it," Dirga replied sounding quite relaxed.

Instead, he now lies down with Zav in his arms.
